He was soxii.us that the intended motion of the Right Hon Gentleman might not be brought on before seven o'clock tanionow night, as he could not he present be fore that bow. He did not intend to take any part in the debates bet was 'meows to hear the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman. WiLMOT-HORTON expressed himself ready to accommodate the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, and said this subject required to be very tem p ately des.' cussed and he regretted that it was now deterred. • The Petition was then laid on the table. Sir W. WYNN presented a Petition from the Malisten of Wrexham. praying a repeal of the Malt Taa.—Ordered to be printed. Sir It. WILSON wished to ask if any Greek slaves were sent from Nasarie just before the battle in that bay? He asked the question with a hope that it could be satisfactorily contradicted. Mr. HUSKISSON said he would be happy if he could contra. din the report alluded to by the gallant Officer. He was afraid, from so many concurrent reports, that a number of captives were gent from the Morea to Alexandria. He had, however, no official notice of the matter. It was the earnest endeavour of this Go vernment to protect the Greeks and orders to that effect were issued to all our officers in the Medi te rranean. They were further directed to prevent the transfer of all Greeks from their own Is by the country. DISMISSAL Of ♦ tunes ist INDIA. Mt. BROUGH ANI said. he understood that a Judge bad been suspended from his functions in India, in consequence of some oh. servationa which be had made in recently giving a judgment in one of the Presidencies in India. Pie did not see the Secretary of the Board of Controul in hit place, but as the denial of such a statement could be easily made (for be took it for granted that the report of such a thing was untrue) be trusted the Right Hon,•Secretasy would give him an answer. Mr. HUSKISSON said, that without consulting the Noble President of the Board of Controul he could give no answer to the questior. Mr. DAWSON moved for seye:al Papers connected with the irreuue and disbursement of the East India Company.—Ordered. MS? DeTIKS. Mr. DAWSON brought in a Bill to regulate the Stamp Duties on Insurances in Scotland. On the motion that it be read a second time, Mr. fIU ME objected to the measure as unjust towards Scotland, and of little consequence to the revenue. If insurances were liable to such high charges, persons would go to the Continent to effect insurances at a cheaper rate. Mr. DA WSON said, this Bill was only intended to regulate and amend an existing law. It was intended to prevent any evasion of the revenue. He could state that the whole subject of the Stamp Acts were under the consideration of the Chancellor of the rschequer, as well as the duty on the Stamps, Probates, and on Insurances generally. Uader such ckeumstances, he could riot see bow the present Bill could be fairly opposed. Mr. HUM E said, that after the promise held out by the Right Hon. Gentleman, be would not oppose the second reading. • The Bill was then ordered.to b the read a second time to-morrow. • Dlr. DAWSON gave notice, at the Chancellor of the Exche quer would, on Friday next, Move the usual Sugar Duties, and the Superannuation' end Pensions. • Sir I'. ACLAND gave notice, that when the Test Laws Repeal ASAP/as committed, be would move it as ass instruction to the Com mitter, that they prescribe some Oath or Test to betaken by Dis 'enter* on entering office. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the causes of the increase of comosioneats and convict thins in criminal cases. This was the 'ant e motion he lad matte last year, and as • there was no opposition to it, he would vow merely aspen its appointment. Colonel SIBTHOItP felt much obliged to the Noble Lord foe' bringing forward this subject, u it was highly necessary in the pre sent state of the country. The moduli was agreed to, and the Committee`peintede-i . Amongst the Members were, Lord J o hn Result, Secietary Peel, Lord E,hrington, Sir T.

HAIt V BY, in moving for a Return of the Bilis Wed In Courts of F.quity. with a view of ascertaining what abeam' existed in Charitable Institutions, observed, that the expense of the Ruud appointed to investigate cost the country nearly 30,0001. per annum ; and the worst of it was, that there was no knowing when the labours of the Commissioners were likely to end. Unless some course was taken to bring back the property bequeathed for educe ikon to its proper uses, ail their labours would be in vain. The lion. Member cited soma cases from ihe Eleveoth depo rt of the Com. stissionen, with a view to show how much money, left for good tsars, bad been improperly and iniquitiously misapplied. After *Mir further observations from the Honourable Member the Re turns were ordered. The House adjourned at a Qpaaraa after Sivas o'Cuice. THE EVENING STAR. LO.\ 11oN.

Lord of the Treasury, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy artments Seal, thehe Secries Of of State for the Home and Foreign Dep, t Chancellor reta the Exchequer, the Secretary at War, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Lord Steward, the Groom of the Stole, the Captain of the Yeomen Guard, the Treasurer of the Household, the Clerk Marshal, Lord 'l'enterden,the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the Recorder of London, the King's Advocate, Lord St. Helen's (as Lord in Waiting), Sir Andrew Barnard (as Groom in Waiting). the Duke of Gorden, the Duke of Buccieuch, Earl of Roden, Earl of Rossiya. Sir Calderon' au Roannion was presented to the Kota, and kissed bands upon being appointed Judge of the High Court of Admiralty, in the room of Lord STIMULI.. His Grace the Duke of Mow:Rose was introduced, and kissed hands upon his being appointed Lord Chamberlain. Dr. Jerome was presented, on his being appointed King's Ad• vocate General. Earl Rouen was presented, and kissed bands upon being appointed one of the Lords in Waiting. His Maassirr held a Privy Council, at which the Duke of Goa OM was introduced, and swore in Keeper cf the Great Seal of Scotland. His Grace the Duke of Bimetal:cif was introduced, find sworn lo Lord Lieutenant of Mid Lothian. The Earl of Rosatvx was introduced, and sworn In Lord Lieu tenant and Sheriff Principal of the Shire of Fife, in the room ef Earl Kettle, deceased. Sir Cirmsvornnz Romans was introduced, and sworn in a Privy Councillor, and took his seat at the Board accordingly. ' Mr. Geer:vitt& attended as Clerk of the Council. IThe Kase gave audiences to the Duke of Wittancrott, Mr. Secre Lary PRZL, and Earl BATHURST. The Court broke up at about Half-past Six o'Clock. The long pauses that intervene between the arrivals of intelligence from the East, give abundant time for speculation; and we trust afford no teasou for the friends of the Greeks to doubt of tre protection which will be finally insured to that suffering nation. There are rumours of a mission of Mr. STRATFORD CANNING VD SL Petersburgh, the object of which is to arrive at a distinct undtrstanding of the operations to be carried on by the Russian army in the ensuing spring. Some little explanation also may not be unnecessary at St, Petersburgh, with regard to the expressions in the Speech from the Throne, and the discussions on Mr. Honuousa's motion of Thanks to Sir EDWARD COD RINGTON, which have somewhat surprised foreigners unacquainted with E •glish party politics. Whatever steps may be in the view of Government, we trust they will not be behini Russia, in acting up to the spirit of the Treaty, anti in endeavouring to satisfy the world that they have the matter at heart. It is often not enough n.erely to promi e jitstic-, but people must have confi dence given them in the meanwhile to convince them it will be dour, and that speedily. We have often been struck with the-number of trials in civil cases, where the Vaintiffs are nonsuited, upon objections made to the stamps affixed to the various instruments that are put in as evidence. And we are glad to observe that the subject is embraced in Mr. Baotonakt's speech on the Stare of the Law, for no thing can be more unnrcessat y than the hardship of the resent practice. For instance—an act on is brought on a written agreement, bating a stamp of 11. At the trial, the defendant shows that the agreement con tains mote than 1,080 •words, and, consequen'ly, that it requites a stamp of 11. 15.. instead of 11 ; ucon which the plaintiff must submit to a nonsuit, though he would, with all his heart, pay down the additional fifteen shillings, and a penalty into the bargain. Mr. BROUGHAM proposes to allow the additional duty to be paid in Court, if the tamp he f Lind iinufficiatt at the. trial; and we trust he will easily satisfy the Committee of the grievous injustice of making a party suffer for. the error in judgment of himself or his Lawler, upon paint which may probably be so nice as to puzzle the Solicitors of Stamps, and create a difference of opi Mon among the Judges themselves. The intricacy of the Stamp Acts is quite notorious, and a reference to the Reports n ill prove the number and difficulty of the cases that have arisen out of them. We have heard it suggested by a professional man, that in all actions where an instrument appeared not to be stamped con- 1 formably to Law, the verdict should be given to the , party otherwise entitled to it, but that the officer of the Court should be prrhibited from delivering the postea of record until the instrument in question should be produced to him properly stamped. By ois arrange. went the plaintiff would not be delased in recovering his demand, and the duty and penalty be secured to the Revenue. It seems that it was the intention of Sir Joins Batnaxe, had Lord Govanten's Government conti nued, to have submitted a motion to the House for the re•establishment of 'the Yeomanry Corps, but th it " understanding that• it , was in the contemplation of the present Government. to make some alteration in that establishment," the Honourable Baronet declined to fulfil his intentions. We can easily imagine that the reductioa has been displeasing to Country Lientlemen, who have for many years served the.e corps at some personal expense and inconvenience, and undoubtedly with great advantage to the country. But if they ima gine that the change at the Home Office will have the effect of continuing an expense, which alteration of circumstances has made wholly unnecessary, and, indeed, berthensonse to the country, we can tell them putty confidently, that they are in error. The turn of the times is economy, and it is hardly credible, that, when we see a Finance Committee, on the one hand. strictly investigating the public accounts, we should find Mr. Fett. supporting an allowance of 14,0001. a year to the county of Devon, of which the Yeomanry .we n ot I'm en-" !A 1' • bee. cAClesrtso for r ”doction ‘.as planni d solong ago as 1817. and L•ir.

And this merit alone is sufficient to debates the hearty thanks of the public. • We have just a, a lettec from the celebrated Author of " The Ayrshire Legatees, 4c." to his friend, Sir A. HALLIDAY, dated from the Office of the Canada Com pany at Guelph, W. C. the 14th of January. As this letter gives a very interesting account of the commence meat of a new City, which may yet be the Capital of a mighty Empire, we have a pleasure in laying before our readers that account in the Author's owu delightful style : " CANADA COMPANY'S °MCI, " GUELni, W. C. JAW. 14,1828. " On last St. George's Day, I laid the axe to the root of one of the stateliest trees I could find in the depth of a tract of the Canada Company's land, and laid the foundation of a town, us which, in honour of the Royal Family, I gave the name of their patronimic. It stands on the hanks of a beautiful fast Rowing stream, which I have called the Speed, in the table land of Upper Canada; and a, the woods have been cleared, the situation has proved exceedingly beautiful. The rise of the place has no parallel, even in the State of New York. The population already exceeds ti,;ht hundred souls ; a Catholic, an Episcopalian, and a Presbyterian Church are being erected; a handsome school-house, and upwards of 100 dwelling houses of the inhabitants. The cry is gill Mel come.' fht approach to this hereafter metropolis to be, is one of the most Babylonian avenues probably in the whole world. It is an open glade, cut through the forest, about 150 feet in width, the trees on each side being from 130 to 150 feet high, seven miles in length, presenting all effect on entering it hardly conceivable. An American post-boy, in entering it with me, pulled up his horses, and looking back exclaim. ed, What au almighty place!' " But it is not merely to tell you this that I trouble you at this time; I ant greatly desirous to foster loyal and British feelings in the Settlement; and acting upon the rule of • Train up a child,' der. I wish you would take occasion to :motion this to the Duke of Clarence, and suggest to his Royal Highness, that it might have good influence on the minds of the rising generation, were his Ma jesty to send a bust or portrait of himself, to be placed in the schoolroom; indeed, my wish is to get as many portraits of the Royal Family as I can for that purpose, the endowment of the school, as the Settlement proceeds, rendering it probable that it will one day become a seminary of some importance."

Among the sufferers at the Brunswick Theatre ca. tastrophe, there was recognised by some of the soldier s on guard the body of a person who had been in the same regiment, and fought with it in Spain. The sum that will arise from the comp tay of per formers of Drury Lane Theatre subscribing one night's salary each, for the relief of those persons who have survived and suffered by the falling of the Brunswick Theatre, will amount to about 1501. The sum sobacribed yesterday at the meeting of the Covent Gar den per formers, amounted to 1201. exclusive of the day's, pay from each performer. Mr. YATES informed M.. FANCETT, that the performers at the Adelolti Theatre had already subscribed between forty and fifty pounds.
