Tr the Appeal 11 The Sudety of Solicitors in Scotland v. the Keeper, Connnis,inners, and Clerk to the Signet," Mr. Snanwet.t., and, after him,ar. Lusitosceeme, were severally heard fur the ap pellints. The arguments went to reprobate the appropriation made by the Courrof S..!ssion in Scotland, in 1821, of seats in Court for the Faculty of Advocate:, and fir the Society of Clerks te the Signet, as a measure not only pedal, uncalled for, and Unnecessary,. but as unjust towards th- Solicitors and Agents, who were, in point of fats, a body of processional men more ancient than the others, anti incorporated. Mr. WARREN rose, and was proceeding to state the case of the respondents, wlwn Isc was stopped by Lord Cirrus'., who observed that it was unnecessaty to bear further. His I.,ralship then moved the House to dismiss the Ap peal, and the House would make such order as would do justice in the case. After a few words between the Counsel and Agent% it the Bar, cwt . * were awariled to the respondents, X 1.50. Counsel wer6 heard in part in " Harley v. Campbell." The Loan CDANCLI.LOR, the Fart of Soavressunv, and Viscount as his Majesty's Commissioners,. brought down the Royal Assent to the following Bills: .. The Sweets Duties Bi ll, the Iri.h Public Works, the Irish Post age, th. Irish Militia Pay Bills, the Isle of Man Bill, the County Rates Bill, the Ireland 1)i-tresses Impounding• Bill, the Ireland Court of Chancery, the Ireland Branch Banta, and the Ireland- Manufactories Bills; the Isle of Doge Docks Bill : the Land Tax Assessment Bill, the St. Catherine's Dock Bill, and-a great number, of Private Bills. The •Bishop of CHESTER entered into some explanations with regard to a Petition, which he presented front Preston, against the Gatholle Bill, at which time be had stated, on inforMation received front a quarter which seemed to entitle it to credit, that a Petition, presented from the same place by a Noble Eat], now absent (the Fad of Derby), in favour of the Bill, bad been chiefly signed by children, under the direction of others. He now unde r s tood th a t ` he had been misinformed, and that that Petition bad been signed by many most respectable individuals. The Law of Merchant and Factor Bill went through a Coln. mime; and after a few verbal amendments proposed by the Lose CMASICIILLOR, was reported, Lord SUFFIELD presented a Petition from the Cotton-spin ners of Glossop, praying for some regulation to limit the working laws of children..--Laid on the table. The Noble Lord than moved the second reading of the Cotton Mills Bill ; and after it had taken place, moved that it be referred to a Select Committee, in compliance with the Standing Order of the House, which required &bat all Bills connected with trade and manufactures should be so refer:A..— Agreed to. The Duchess of Heut's Annuity Bili went through a Committee, and was reported. Lord BEXLEY postponed the second trading of the County dourts Bill till Monday. • Earl DARLINGTON presented a Petition numerously signed by the inhibitants of Thorne, in favour of the Doncaster and Thome Turnpike 11111.—Laid on the table.—Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. • I 1 i :, .'4.: . 3 !.1 tr:- • i - - The House was summoned to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to several Bills (for the titles of which see the Lords Report). IttSKS AND HANTS CANAL. Mr. C. DUNDAS moved that the Committee on this Canal do Continue to sit. Mr. F PALM ER opposed the motion, on the ground that se4 wail parties lad yet to prove their cases, which would occupy so grit throe-that no deeision could be had this Session. Sir. C. DUNDAS thought otherwise, and said that he was in structed by the Committee to isk for leave. Mr. CA LC RA FT opposed the motion. It was utterly impossi ble to carry the Hill into a law this Session. The parties had been put to an enormous expels*, without the chance of any beneficial remits. lie should take thy seam of the House on the question. Mr. BRIGHT said, a week would be quite enough to prove cer tain documents, and he hoped the Committee might continue to sit. Mr. EVANS said, it was very proper that the Committee should sit. •The evidence might soon be got through with. The expense, if it was to be incurred at all, might as well be incurred this Session as in the next. Hr. Alderman WOOD was against the motion. Mr. Alderman HF.YGATE contended that the matter should be settled as early as possible, and hoped the House would grant the desired leave. There was time enough to go through with all the evidence this Session. The Bill was likely to confer important be nefits on the country. Sir J. NEWPORT said that there were several witnesses from Ireland waiting to be examined, and it would be unfair to send them back again unexamined. He thought the Canal would be of the greatest advantage and should support the request for leave to sit. Mr. A. BARING ob.erved, that although on the for. user occasion Le had voted for the rec mmittal of the Bill, yet he was afraid that the Session was now so far advanced as to leave the passing of the Bill utterly hopeless. He was, however, of opinion, that the Canal would be a most valuable one. Still it might be a matter of consi detation whether the opposers of the Bill should not try their oppo aikido this Session ? He confessed he was in a state of embarrass. meat as to how be ought to vote on the motion.—The House then divided on the question— Tor it 65 Against it . . 36 Majority —29 Tho Hibernian Mining Company Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr: H. DAVIS mowed the third reading of the Bristol Town Does Bill. Mr. BROG DEN moved the insertion of a clause to save the rights of all parties interested in the Bill. After a conversation, in which Mr. Mansur; Mr. Baum, Mr. Maarrou.r., Mr. LiTTLETOI4, Mr. Joins, Sir J. NLWPOILT. Mr. H.- Dalls, and Mr. W. WiIiTSIOSt took part, the question was loudly called for. Strangers withdrew, but the House did not divide, the further - debate being adjourned until Monday. GRANT TO THE DUKE OE CUMBERLAND. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that this 8.11 be read a third time. . The Marquis of TAVISTOCK rose to oppose the motion. He called on the Chancellor of the Exchequer as a man of honour, to state whether he' believed that the whole of this I.rge grant was necessary for the education of this child ?—(Hear.)--If he would lay his hand on sus heart and say so, then he (the Marquis of Tavistock, would consent to the grant,.though with the greatest reluctance, and in the belivf that the grant was too extravagant. He had the highest opinion of tie Chancellor of ail Exchequer, though he had not the honour of his acquaintance, and on any serious asset tionfrom him he world rely. It was 3 source of se• Bret that the Right Hon. Gentleman had not come down to Parliament in his usual straight-forward way, and asked for the addition of- 6,0001. *lear for the )puke of Cumberland; if he had done so, he (the Mar quis of Tavistock would have had - less oblecrion to the grant. No public charge had ever been brought against his Rnyal Highness, though it was true that by some way or other he had lost the good opinion of the public. For that, however, he had been sufficiently punished. He could .never consent to vote for a grant brought forward in this indirect and disgraceful way. Another sellection to so large a sum being granted to so young a child was the inconvenience and danger of the puce dvist—(llear). It was now some time since be had takers a part in any debate, bdt he had always looked with great anxiety so the politics of the country. He had witnessed with unmixed pleru-are the wise, im proved, and liberal system of policy recently adopted by Govern- Meat, and particularly by tae Right Honourable Secretary for Tiortigts,Affairs...(lleat). lie could not express the astonishment Ise felt at s..^ . cing them risk tht it good name, by becoming a Par:;' to so paltry ap,:gglt. Ile had thought them much too honest VOL. suet+ a job as this. 'flot Noble Martinis concluded by expressing his thanks to tie Learned Ilendler for Winchelsea, for his manly and per betel Ins cipposision To this gratit—(liva,liesr, !) • General PAI4IEIt- said, be 11'43 hitherto taken to° ,ilent vote, this op', ri!on ; but further consideration and justice to the party whose honour and interests were at stake, determined 'him to combat his reluctance to address it. He was 'else of those who, in e former instance, had supported the motion for the same increased alloo a ce to the Peke of Cumberland that was voted to his brothers under the same circumr alters; and had always con .sidered the rejection of ttsat measure as an act of in justice to hi s Royal Highness, and - an insult to the honour and feelings of the Crown. It as, there ore, solely upon that giound he must vote for the present Bill, condemning it in all other respects. Ile had before declared, and now repeated his conviction, that the only enemies of the Crown were its own Ministers; nor since he ha , l been in Parlixmei.t, did he re member- a single onestion %viol-, in its honour and llamas were concerned, that all 0 e discredit brought upon it was not solely to be imputed to them.— They, and not the people ra ere its constitutional advisers, and their neglect compelled other; to the painful and invidious task of doing their duty for them. Either they dared not tell the Crown the truth, or purposely b ought it into collision with the people to divert their attention from acts of deeper mischiet, and thus throw a tub to-the whale. flow else was their conduct to be explaimd, unless such was the force of habit, they could not pursue-a straight course wit-n nothing stood in the way ? As to the present Bill s they had only renewed it in its former shape, with the simple statement that his Royal Highness, after ten years' absence,was desicons of returning to England with his family, in the only way that, consistently with his honour and interest, he cnuld aetern, viz. by being placed on the same footing wit;. the other branches of the Crown, the present ground of objections to the Bill would not have existed ; instead of which Migisters had not only run their heads against a wall, btit actuhily built it for the purpose. In place or k grant of WOOL to the - ,only party wishing it, they celled upolOParliament for double the amount, for rea sons false in themselves, or which, ii true,were revolting to the sense and feelings of the people. and humiliating to all parties brought forward in the debate, excepting that Illustrious Female whose exemplary conduct had spoken.for itself, and gained her the esteem and admi ration of the country. But the individual who if not a party to the act, had been placed by Ministers in an invidicus light, was that personage whose splendid income the country had hitherto saved from that appli cation to Parliament which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, the guardian of the public purse and the honour Of the Crown, bad now deemed to be necess try ; and to whom he must say, upon the face of that application, discredit attached somewhere, and whoever the cap fitted, the party ought to wear it. But his chief object in addressing the House was to defend the individual whose personal character had been the sole ground. of op position to that grant in the former instance the real object of the present Bill, and with respect to which, no person could have felt at that time a stronger prejudice u;ainst the party than himself, for re nuns connected with his political conduct. But the same motive which had dictated his former vote, called on him stow to declare his conviction that no man had been more grossly calumniated than his 'Royal H ghneas. As to his politics, was it unnatural that, born and educgted at Court, with a Bishop for his tutor, he should be a Tory in his principles, and like all others, whatever they might pretend, AM enemy to civil and religious liberty ? But in private life he knew, and would an swer for the fact, that his Royal Highness was in all respects a manly, open, honourable character—a most kind and affectionate husband ; further, that he .was neither a spendthrift nor a gambler, but from the libe rality of his nature, had bten led into difficulties which had compelled him to reduce his establishment, and live abroad, because the House of Commons, in the exercise of its discretion, had withhAd that assistance which would have prevented the necessity. L istly, as' to the cause of his unpopularity, which st Right Hon. Gentleman had ascribed principally to his marriage, the real ground bad been stated by another Hon. Member, viz. his Seal in the service of those who, by their " No Popery" cry , had turned out their opponents. B ut the crime brought its own pu nishment, in the resentment of the persons he bad offended, whilst he was deserted by his own party, and especially that individual who bad made a tool of him, as he had since made of another, and for which last act deserved impeachment as much as a n y Minister who had yet been brought to the scaffold. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he should be 'extremely sorry that any conduct of his should forfeit the good opini.a of the Noble Lord who opened the debate. He felt himself unworthily honoured by the manner in which that Noble Lard had been pleased to speak of his character, but he was still under the necessity of saying, that whether they were right or wrong, the grounds upon which he and his Right Honi Friends had advised his Majesty to recommend this measure, were those of enabling the Duke of Cumber land to edacate his son ; and if that son had not been born, such advice would not have been given. It ap peared to them, that WOW. a year having been granted to the other Royal Dukes upon their marri rges, and not to the Duke of Cumberland, it was but right and just, now that a child was born to him, that he should be enabled to give that child such an education as the , people of this country would expect hint' to have. It was natural to suppose that the Royal Duke and his Royal Consort would come over to superintend the education of their child, and when in this country, the Duke of Cumberland would not have the same means of meeting his additional expenditure as those possessed by his Royal brothers. Under these circumstances, he saw nothing in the measure, which as an honest Miniver he could not enuscieniously recommend t r the House. He had only to add a few words, for-the purpose of correcting a mistake into which be had fallen in the course of a previous debate. —ln answer to a question from an Hun Member opposite, he bad stated that the Lady to whom his Royal Highness the Duke of Sus-• sex was married, received an allowance of £4,500 a-year front his Majesty. He bad since ascertained the fact to be, that this Lady received E 2,500 only front the Crown, that being reduced to £2,000 by the usual deductions from pensions and allowances ; and that the remaining "000 she had received at the hands of the Duke of Sussex—(Hear). Mr.,TIERNEY said he could not suffer this measure to go through its last stage without stating the ground, upon which he had uniformly voted against it. He would say nothing of the private character of the Duke of Cumberland; tor, supposing him to be a - Prince for whom the highest respect was entertained, his objection would still be that the measure was bad in principle s and still worse as a precedent for future proceedings., He protested against tie un on of the two cases which had been brought beforethem. It was not becatoe the two children had been born tit'ce the last settlement of , the income of the Royal Dukes, that the necessity of any fresh one arose, but because the father of one if theta had died since Oat period, and lett her with no other provision than the jointute of her mother. It was well known to him, es . well as to many other of his Bomorable Filerols ; thOt his Highness Princr, Leopold had o!slo3 its sister in the seprott of her child, and that they had• requi-ed no inerea!el of income whatever. Here, then, they had the principle of applying, on behalf of a child four removes from the Crown, for a patlianientary provision to the amount of -6.0001. a-year. The provision was for the child, and not for the Duke, and that was his objectiim. He found by relert ing to former grants, that no provision was made for the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge, un til they were—the one twenty - e ight and the other twenty-nine years of age. In the ca-es of the Duke of Kent and The Duke of Cumberland themselves, the for mer was thirty two, and the latter twenty-eight, before any Parliamentary provision was a pplied for. It was said to be highly desirable to Ining this young PI ince to England, that he might receive his education here; and he confessed that at first he was struck with the propo sal. Het upon refiection he did not see the necessity of such ar rangement, and thought it cruel-to separate the child from its parents at such an age. The late King, to whom they must all revert with reverence, so far from feeling any alarm upon this point, sent his sons to Germany to be educated—(A Laugh)—and he was not aware that any bad consequences had resulted from it. The Right Hun. Gentleman then stated some objections to the wording of the Bin, and pointed out that former grants had been made" during the will and pleasure of his Majesty. ' If this were altered, most of his objections would be removed, but he should continue to vote against the Bill la its present state. Mr. Secretary CANNING.—The observations which I think it necessary to make on what has fallen from the Right Honourable Gentleman who has just sat down, will be very brief, as he has nearly dismissed altogether his other objections to the Bill, and has con fined himself specifically to the absence of any controul on the part of his Majesty over the funds to be applied to the education a tbis young Prince. 'stow I appre hend, that the first -step we have to take is, to ascertain if it be the pleasure of bis• Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland to come over and take up his residence in this country ? In that case, undoubtedly, the money is to be paid immediately to his Royal Highness, and is to be at his disposal. But, suppose his Royal High ness should determine to continue to reside abroad—l can assure the Right Honourable Gentleman, that neither I, nor my Honourable Fait nd have the means at present of proving what will be his actual deter mination—but suppose his Royal Highness should determine to continue to reside abroad, it will then be come the duty of his Majesty's Ministers, before they sanction the issues in. question, to take care that such arrangements shall be made as may insute the applica tion of the money to the purpose for which it has been voted by Parliament. In neither alternative, therefore, can I perceive any disposition, either on the one hand to tear the child from the parent, or on the other hand, to render it imperative on the parent to reside in Eng land. But while it would be harsh to make a return to this country on the part of his Royal Highness, a condition of educating the young Prince, here is every temptation to him to do so, and at the same time a security to the country, that if his Royal Highness shall not return, the money voted by Parliament will not be misapplied. With respect to the propriety of educating this young Prince in England, the Right Honourable Gentleman allows that, in the first instance, he was taken with the notion of it. So was my Right Honourable Filmic' and myself. The only difference . between us and the Right Honourable Gentleman is i this--that after more mature deliberivion we persevere in our original opinion, whilst the Right Honourable Gentlemen departs from hie. But we are told that this will establish ii dangerous precedent. I do not say that unhappy event& may not, on some future occasion, bring other children of the Royal Family into the same situation in which this Royal Prince is placed; but every occasion of that nature will require a separate consideration. I am convinced that there is not any Honourable Member who will believe, that should his Royal Highness tt e Duke of Cumberland be induced to return to England, the increase in his expenses, oc casion:4 by transferring his residence from a country in which be has probably few calls upon him, to a country in which he will probably have many c.ills upon him, will be more than compensated by 6,0004 a year ; considering also that in that sum will be in cluded the expense of educating his son. I do not mean to say, that the whole of this money will be ex pended upon the education of this child during the first or second year immediately succeeding the grant. I do not contend for any such point, for I consider the vote to be making provision for a whole minority. In the early years of this minority, the sum might perhaps exceed the actual amount of disbursements onlceestnt of the education et the child, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, the sum will be lose rather than more than necessity will require. But undoubtedly I mean that the grant, according to the most careful calcidatioo r is equal to the whole object of educating the child, and it is not right to come, year after year, to Parliament to revise such a grant; and in taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, I am convinced that 60001. a year cannot be viewed asan extraordinary grant, or as anything that can have a covert purpose beyond what is the declared object cf the provision. Undoubtedly it is the purpose to give to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland the option of returning to England without encountering any embarrassment in superintending the education of his child. Whether, on the other hand, it is not the Duke of Cumberland's pleasure to return to this einustry,is a subject upon which, as I have before said, I can give ' Obit House no information. The grant will fully provide for the education of the child in England; and considering the whisk extent of the minority, it will not exceed the average of yeesly expenditure. For my part, I must confess myself utterly unable to discover what there is in this proposal that deserves to be stigmatised as so dishonest, so unfair, and so disgraceful a proceeding. Undoubt edly it may be said, that it would have been more straight-forward if the Government bad ascertained whit would be the Duke of Cam beriand's decision • and by deferring the measure we aught havolimea able to state his R oyal Highness's determination; but, en the ethic hand, it cannot be said that the grant is, it s any sense si ghs wire, is. travagant. If the Duke of Cumberland were to berestraillill SOW side in this country, I am persuaded that the sum is Wm, MAO than above the necessities of the case ; and, considering the oat* and number of years It is to cover, it is not more than wise* absolutely necessary to defray the expenses of education. The Honourable Member opposite (Mr. Tierney). says, that there are few precedents of a Ministry coming upon Parliament for the pro vision of a child at so early an age. and that the country was not called upon to make similar provisions for the children of his late Majesty. But the younger branches of the Royal Family, in the. last reign, were living under the same roof with their father, and were in immediate succession to the Crown. This makes an ewes. dal difference in the cases. At present, 1 need scarcely say, that the King has uo expectation that the branches of all his brothers sinjuld be supported by him. All the other brothers have separate means of maintenance, and Abe ,Dsiketf, Munberland is one to 1 4fisean whom you have denied th s of defraying his own expenses, or of providing for his ch i en. When motives are imputed, I do not know how I can do than merely deny them. I can only say, that I am conscious of no such motives as have been attributed to than who have brought forward and supported this measure. When the proposition was stated to toe, it appeared fair and rea sonable. One object of educating this young Prince in England , appeared to me of the highest national importance, and' to forward that object of national importance we are now providing the means, in as unexceptionable a way as the difficulties of the case will admit. Mr. BROUGHAM contended that the real motive for bringing" forward the Bill was the giving the Duke of Cumbuiand £6,000 a. year which in 11115, and agaiu in lule, had been directli refused ' by Parliament. He objected to the measure mask strongly, because Stmeas to naturalize the principle in our Consthdtion, that every ddi horn to the Royal family, whether he was the soil, gratidsoo, ar astbew of they Crown, was to come to Parliament for a se pante provision. Upon this he should take the sense of the liouae, and he trusted that by du: dtviston the House would rctiturn its character with the country. Alter pas;-...g some watrn• parrgyr ics • on the Duke of Suisun, the Tionoufable tleman said he did not despair of kno w in g that the Duke of* Cum- I.cnened (Ire. berland would give credit to the oppose?s of this Bill fur the metiers him only as a member of ilat hich lll i u nd st ;l i c o ed us iFhesturililyo d to o which liC he now be in lo g nged, they had a Sight us meet no less at his bands. The Honourable and Learned Gentle. .man then 'said that his iloyal Highness. the Commander-in-Chief, had, in the most honourable manner, expressed such feelings towards .shooe who felt is their painful duty to vote ageinst higs.lo the year Imp, and that the late Queen Tosgave Mr. Perceval and his Ma jesty's Ministers. He himself had been an rumple of the same • feeling on the part of the illustrious hoad-of that C e l:l ll d is received the Most solemn assurance—and it was the p i es* ,honourable because voluntary--that all" the reports - which' the blackest malignity had devised and circulated were from beginning to end utterly unfounded.—Tbe House then divided= - .

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQT.IF.n. Moiled ati amendment for adding these words to the grant—if during the well and pleasure of his Majesty, and in such manner and form as hie Majesty shall see fit."—The Bill so amendtel was then passed. A new writ was ordered to be issued for the c,u:sty of Tyrone; la the room of Sir John Stewart, Bart. deceased. Mr. BROUGHAM wished to ask the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in consequence of thepro posed alterations in Buckingham House, he would object to lay upon the table, a return of the sums expended upon improvements made in Carlton Palace at various times; and whether it was his intention to lay before the Neuman estimate of the money required for the alterations in Beekingham Meese? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that upon the second reading of the Bill, be-should explain the subject more fully, and produce the estimate fur which the Honourable and Learned Gentleman made inquiry. Sir J. NEWPORT presented a Petition from certain Attornies in Ireland, praying an alteration in the law relating to Coroners. Ordered to be printed. • Mr. DEN MAN gave notice, that on Tuesday he sheuld present a Petiden, complaining of the conduct of the Magistrates of the county of Surrey. TOWNLANDe ROUNDARII S BILL (IRELAND). Mr. GOU LIM RN moved the Order of the Day fa the llooit going into a Committee on the Townlande Boundaries IRE The House went into a Committee on the Bill, and some ererbell amendments were agreed to. The House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received an Monday. CUST•II►tS CONSOLIDATION. - - - The House resolved itself Into a Committee on the Customs Laws Consolidation Bill. Mr. BERRIES stated, that among the new clauses be proposed to introduce one to modify the right of the Revenue Offiters to , make a watch of the person. Ile proposed. for the purpose of giving every protection to the liberty of the subject-, anJ at the s tint time to afford protection to the Bream to give the person whom the omcer proposed to search a right to be Liken previously before a *hidee of the Peace, or bead Officer of the Customs, at the port or place • and if the Officer should MI in convincing the Justice that he bad reasonable ground to make the search, and hisconduct should appear vexatious, then be should be subject to a penalty of £5, to be imposed by the Magistrate. He sboste also propobe similar clause as to persons lurking on the coast to aid in smugglit , g. Dr. LUSHINGTON objected to the clause relative tts the' seizure of vessels found hovering, as being contrary to the rights of Foreign Nations. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL supported the clause, asluving been in operation for upwards of 40 years, sod being necessary for the protection if the !Uremia.. After a few words from hit. J. Wusox and Dr. Losunterou, the clause was agreed to. Mr. BERRIES moved another clause with respect to searching the persons of individuals for smuggled goods. Mr. R. GORDON objected altogether to the clause. Mr. BERRIES said, that without a clause of that kind it woult be impossible to prevent smuggling. Be was afraid be should be thought not to have consulted the interests of the Revenue, by the precautions he had taken to prevent the power being abused. Mr. HUME said, such a prissier was unknown lu any other country. Mr. HUSKISSON stated, that the frequency of the practice indered the exercise of such a right necessary. Mr. G. LAMBS was afraid that the right of searebing the pees on could not be dispensed with. Mr. NIMBLE'S replied, and the clause was agreed to. At the suggestion of Mr. Bolin the Chairman was orders} to , report progress, and ask leave to sit ;gain on Moody next. • The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Has.r.:ase Two. QUARAN7LVE 4fT NAPLES. We annex a copy of the Quarantine Regulations established at Naples, in consequence of the measure proposed in England for modifying the Quarantine Laws of this country; and there cannot be a more pregnant example of the dangerous consequences to our commerce, which the erroneous opinion dial we were about to. repeal the Quarantine Laws has occasioned. The agitatiuts of the question is even one of great delicacy. The martial:in on British vesseh er mperform quarantine and unload at Nedta ruinous to all cone in the argots, were it only for the enormous charge made for labour by the men who work at unloading the ships in *- Lazaretto at Nesita, which amounts to about its: en hour for nth, labourer. The new regulations me as follow : 1. All vessels arriving from Great Britain, or with a portion oft cargoes shipped there and not landed at an intermediate port, must proceed at once to the Lazaretto at Nesita, there to unload. 2. If the cargo consists wholly or in pan of manufactures, such manufactures must perform twenty.one days quarantine a the laza retto of Nesita, and the vessel fourteen days, which quaraikine only commences from the day the last package has been discharged. If the cargo consists wholly orlin part of cotton yarn, the same molt also be unloaded at Nesita; but if the Beare of Health has not yes decided upon the extent of quarantine, which will, however, be of longer duration than that on manufacture. Sugars and otherun. susceptible goods must be equally discherge:i at Nesits, but may conic round to Naples at once, provided there be no paper indde the package. 3. Vessels with entire cargoes of iron, or other metals, must alnir discharge at Nesita, but such cargoes may come to Naples forth.. with; and the vessel's quarantine of fourteen days will commeocio %rom the day of arrival at Naples, and not from that of final dis charge, as in the ease of manufactures and other susceptible goods. 4. The quarantine charges -for the men unloading at Nmita- ant 1$ ducats for every three hours. THE EVENING STAR, LONDON. SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1825. ST. BARILISAll.••HOL10.11T. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
