when he witntaed than ? For his own part, he was' convinced that it was the demoralising tendency of such exhibitions which prepared the Spaniards for, and enabled them to look en an auto daft. Such a pro gress in cruelty was beautifully illustrated in the paint ings of Hogarth. That inimitable painter represents in his first scene a person spinning a cockchafer on a pin, and after leading bins through a series of cruelties, each exceeding the former in degree, exhibits him at last killing the woman he had seduced. Mr. R. MARTIN asked whether the appeal of bis Right Hon. Friend to stale hunting and hare hunting was an argument against legislating so far as he had gone ? He asked his Right Hon. Friend, who had given such a pathetic description of stag hunting, to advise the King to abolish stag-hunting. It was the most cruel of all sports, an 3 he called on his Right Hon. Friend to advise the Crown to put it down. The example from his Majesty would produce a good effect. The argument against him was, that he could not le gislate for all cases, but was that any reason why they should not do all the good they could ? An Hon. Gentleman said be did not believe there were more than THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. PI:ICE OF STOCKS AT ONE O'CLOCK. per Cent. Cons. 92413 4 per Cent. New 106 1 / 4 106 India Bonds 89 £l,OOO Excheq.

How many dogs were there? Dogs were cut limb from limb to prove whether they were game—(A cry of ' 0 NO, nor). Every Alderman of the City of London would be in favour of the Bill. It was said they were legislating on the sports of the people. He claimed the Bill in behalf of the unvitiated part of the people. Petitions came from all parts of the kingdom in favour of the Bill. He was ready to give up the faults of the Bill. By domestic animals he meant cats and dogs. He thought cats ought to be protected. He claimed of the house to go into a Committee to correct the Bil. With respect to Doctor Magendie, he did net deny that experiments on animals for the benefit of man might be excused; but Dr. Magendie, aitei trying the same experiments over And over again, came to London to make a dramatic exhibition, and exhibit himself as a Ftar. He would not say it was a greyhound, it might be a spaniel, which he had heard WAS the animal selected, on account of its nice sense of smelling. As a specimen of the humanity of the Doctor, he would mention a fact connected with his experiments in England. Whilst he was dissecting the dog, he put his cheek to the dog's mouth and said— " Resta tranquille !" and then turning to the spectators said, " 11 serait plus tranquilk s'il entendait Francais 1" I —(A laugh). The Doctor's defence reminded him of a circumstance at which he was present. He once went' to Newgate (hear, hear), to see a man convicted of mur der ; he was by when the man protested to the Ordi nary Ins innocence of the crime of which he was con victed, namely the deliberate murder of his wife. The Ordinary asked if ten or eleven witnesses did nut prove the fact ? the man replied, " They perjured themselves, and I am innocent ; they swore I killed her with a mallet, whereas it was with a pole-axe I committed the murder"—(Greet laughter). Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, he would not be guilty of inconsistency by voting against this Bill, although ,he had supported the Hon. Member's former Bills for the prevention of unnecessary cruelty. This Bill was against the national amusements, and to be supported ought to be touch more extensive. National amusements should be regulated by public opinion, although on abstract grounds, perhaps, they might be considet ed exceptionable. If it were right to argue 1 against amusements in general, let this Bill be extended; but otherwise he felt himself bound to oppose it— ( Question, question). Sir F. BURDETT thought that great praise was due to the Hon. Member who had courage enough to intro..' duce this measure. He regretted to find it had been treated with a degree of ludicrousness which was quite unfair, and that trifling subjects were brought against a general principle which ought not to have been used in the shape of argument. From this charge he also regretted he could not absolve a Right Honour able Gentleman opposite, to whom the country had 1 recently been so much indebted for other useful reforms in our system of legislation—(Hear, hear). The Common Law of England justified the principle of inter fering with regard to anything which had a tendency to injure the morals of the country, and cruelties to animals were punishable by common law at the pre sent moment. The object of the Bill was merely to carry that principle into efflct in cases which shocked the public mind. He did not think that the powers granted by the Bill were absurd ; on the contrary, he was of opinion that they would fall into disuse, unless the Hon. Member fur Galway could appoint a suc cessor as industrious and persevering as himself, to see its enactments brought into operation. For these reasons the Bill should have his cordial support. Mr. F. Bervort and Sir T. &Loos supported the Bill; and ft M. W. Rom and Mr. ROBERTSON opposed it. The House then divided : the numbers were— For the amendment, 50 I Against it, Mt. The Bill was therefore lost. The second reading of the Dissenters' Marriage Bill was post poned to Monday. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Mouse adjourned at On u'aocr..

Commodore Nourse, of the British frigate Andromache, (Commander-in- Chief on the Isle of France and Cape of Good Hope nations) went on shore at Bombaz, on the south-east part of Africa, with six of his Officers and French botanist, to dine with the Governor. Shortly after returning on board, they were taken ill; and all died within four days, except the French Gendemaii, who recovered. No doubt was entertained but they were poisoned. The body of the Commodore 'was brought to the Lie of France for interment. A fatal dis ease raged at Bourbon. BUENOS AYRES, DEC. i. The unexpected detention of the ship Natchez, by which this goes, enables me to say that it is no longer a doubt as to the views of England in relation to these, countries, for, at a public dinner given by the English merchants yesterday, to which a number.of the most respectableereoles were invited, Mr. PArish publicly declared that he is already empowered by his Govern• merit to acknowledge the independence of the Provinces of Rio de la Plata. The French Pape' s of Thursday have reached us, bui they possess little interest. Accounts from Spain state, that the Cabinet of Madrid is ye ry active, in conse quence of the dispatches from Russia and England. — A Decree of his MAJESTY for the suppression of smuggling has just appeared ; moveable columns will be employed to traverse the provinces, and to check its pernicious effects. M. SOBRADO, senior, of the Supreme Council of Cas tile, and President of the Tribunal of Purifications, has just been exiled to Alcala de Henares, instead of having taken the portefeuille of the department of Justice, as was reported. The Conditutionnel gives a brief notice of the regulations of the-police at Cadiz, on the 28th February, for the due observance of Lent. In these sumptuary laws it is ordered, amongst other things,' that no woman, of whatever rank or condition shall appear in the streets during Holy Week, unless she is dressed is a decent manner. This must give pretty extensive scope to the caprice and petty tyranny of the underlings of office, whether they be French or Spaniards, the only difference being, that the vexation must be the more galling when the power is exercised by the former. The Government of Baden seems ;nclined to lighten the labour of the representative body very completely, in assembling it but once in three years, and decreeing theßudget for three years, thus arriving almost at nullity. This forenoon we received German Papers to the 6th instant. A Supplement to the Allgen:eine Zeitung of the sth instant, contains a detailed account of the pro spects of the German American Mining Company, in which some jealousy is manifested at the Mining spe culations in England; but, as Uncle Toby said of the fly, there is room in the world for them both. The fol lowing are extracts: the rats t. they hue concluded several advantageous' agesteisents on this principle. By this the first expense of thk eipedition was covered, and there Might even be a net profit; and; what was the principal point, they could pisittitally inidy the geognosy and piactice of mining in that cnuittry without loss, before they ven tured to work Mines entirely on their own account; These favourable priiipeatißitiiticed the Directors to call a general meeting on the rtiii of February, in which it was resolved to increase. the capital from 200,000 to 500,000 dollars, by the creation of 6' )d thbfe shares. A great part of the meeting wished to increalt the capital to a million, but this was not carried. The new shares are offered fine to the old share-holders, but at a pre• mium of 10 per cent. After the end of February; the remaining shares are to be disposed of at as high a pre mium as can be obtained. The premium is to be paid with the first fifth; but. it is probable that the second, land even the third fifth, will soon be called for, not only because on the acquisition of new mines large sums must be paid, but because a commission is daily ex• petted from Mexico to procure workmen's tools, quick silver, and many other things,which cannot be procured there at all, or only at enormous prices. LEIPSIC, MARCH S. The Persians, who were here at the Easter Fair, were here again at the close of the last Fair, and gave us some hopes for the approaching Easter Fair. They are extremely well versed in trade and business, and are now visiting the manufactories in Germany and Alsace, in order to see what goods may be suitable for their own country, and which, according to the present Rus sian system, can pass in transit, at the least expense, by way of Leipsic. In future they will bring hither silk and cichemen wool, and, as they say and give us reason to hope, will make considerable purchases ; but the ornaments must be more in the oriental style than is usual in our goods. Those whist they want will go farther into the interior of Asia, where German, English, and French goods have not yet found their way ; they also study the pre dominant taste at the Leipsic fair with respect to the manufactures of their own country which may meet with a ready sale at Leipsic. The low duty on the transit of goods through Russia, facilitates the trade ] by this channel, which may in time become important. On the other hand, the trade with Russian Poland subject to many difficulties, but this is attended with the disadvantage to Russia that its furs must be sold in the China market much lower than formerly, while ordinary Canada furs meet with a sale in Leipsic. BLBERFELD, END OF FEBRUARY. The German American Mine Company, at Elberfeld, continues to excite more and more interest and attention in Germany. At first the capital of the Company was fixed at 200,000 Prussian dollars, in 400 shares; and the Company had the good fortune to procure the services of M. W. Stein and M. F. Gerolt, two able mineralogists, who went as Agents to Mexico, in which city they ar rived on the 9th of June last. These Agents, by their conduct, have gained the esteem of all those with whom they have had any concern, and the favour of some of the most distinguished men in the new Republic.

At a General Court-Martial, held at Fort William, on the 19th October, 1994, privates William Walsh, of his Majesty's 13th Re giment, and John Kendrk, of his Majesty's 47th JUOmmt, were arraigned on the following Charge : " For having, about the boar of one, en the 11th instant, assaulted Goolab Rowtee, Sepoy, Mid Native Infantry, then in the execution of his duty as a sentry, posted at the moth-east end of the staff range in Fort William, knocked him down, and violently beaten and kicked him, until aisistanee arrived, and freed him from further ill treatment: such conduct being in direct violation of the Articles of War."

Monday being the day appointed for this momentous encounter, and being Saint Monday besides, every son of Crispin, and every knight of shreds and patches, was early on the move for Winch burg. Irishmen tight for pleasure, Englishmen for fame, and Scotchmea when they can't help it. The circle of action was a comfortable field, on the southern bank of the Union Canal, nearly midway between Winchburg and Brosburn. The ground was soon covered by an immense concourse of spectators. All sorts of drags were in requisition, from the potent chariot and four, down to the humble apple-cart of the Irish huckster. Both men, on peeling, seemed prime meat. Johnson carried at least a couple of stone more than Halton. But Paddy was a perfect Longimsnus ; his feelers being about the dimensions of a couple of ordinary flails. The candidates having skyed a copper for the sun, came to the scratch at two o'clock. noose 1. Johnson opened the budget, but seemed queerkh ; acting on the defence—made the periphery of the ring.

The Gipsy made a desperate effort. The enemy skulked, but the suspension was re. , fused wifh costs against Halton. Johnson fell from a tingler on the left lug, that rendered him deaf to time. Halton was proclaimed victor, with small punishment. This terminated the battle, certai.ly much to the disappointment of the gapers. The fight lasted only 20 minutes. Johnson seemed mere es. hausted than punished ; and neither was hurt. Solve hints west round of a cross. Halton is an open fighter, and a gold man. Jam son was either very cool, or much afraid. He does not stand firm on his pins, but was continually shifting his ground. At a Ball at the Hotel, East Cowes, on Tuesday last, which was most respectably attended by the principal families in the neighbourhood, many of the Officers of the Herefordshire East Indiaman were present, highly delighted in sharing the enjoyment of some excellent dances, quadrilles. waltzes, fee. and with she attention shewn them by the Stewards, Lord Haw Smameeend Sir GIOROZ TITIIAII, Ban. Wednesday morning, a boat belonging to the Stag cutter, Mr. WILLIAM FARRIS, Commander, seized neat the entrance of Newt Own Creek, about a mile from the watch vessel at that station, 124 casks of foreign spirits.

THZATAI, Daufte-kamt.—A well arranged selec tion of music was performed at this Theatre last night. It commenced with Wzaza's Kamp and Saw, which was given for the third time in London with un diminished success. This was followed by short se lections from :the Messiah, Barrnoxan's Mount of Olives, and HAYDN'S Creation. Between the Ern and second parts LINLEY played a concerto on the violon cello with admirable skill, and the effect was heightened by the evident delight which the player himself-experi enced. The second part commenced with theOvesture to Abu Hassan, by WEBltlt—sin agreeable composition of no peculiar excellence. Miss GRADDOII sang Psous Orgies in a chaste and solemn style, and BRAMAN, in a pretty song of his own. The tun his bright rays 'nay withhold, gave a delightful specimen of sweetness and expression in the atezza luxe. In this and in Dr. Pa ruscn's Alexis, he was encored. In the latter he was usual accompanied by the inimitable LISLIY. _ _ .~ .~~ i~ •
