On the motion that this Bill be committed, Mr. Cunrers and Mr. Baness made a few observations. A short conversation ensued, in which Mr. Fuser's observed, that die purchasers of estates:from Catholics ought not to be allowed any advantage from thisßill, and the Arraarmr G ,in remark ing on the history of the Land Tax, said that there was more poten tiality of power vested in the Commissioners than they choose to exercise under tbe circumstances which had existed.

In the House of. Commons, Sir THOMAS LETH soma presented a Petition from the Archdeacon" and Clergy of the Diocese of Wilts, against the Roman Catholic Claims. ♦oral Petitions in favour of the Claims were also presented. Mr. Karnmes Scots Law of Entail Amendment Bill was read a first time. Mr. Cumin, put a question to Ministers respecting an anomaly in . the Corn Laws, by which grain could be imported into the Isle of Man under circumstances that did not apply to the rest of the empire. Mr. F. Lewis said the evil. if any existed, would be remedied io the intended Corn Bill. JONATHAN Fox was brought up in custody, reprimanded, and discharged. The Cities and Boroughs Polls Bill was read a second time, to be committed on Friday. The Pauper Lunatic Bill was read a second time. to be committed on Monday. The Resolution on the Four Shillings in the Pound Duty on Pensions was agreed to. On the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the East Retford Distranchise. assent BiU, Mr. D. W. HA brought forward his motion, that Mr. Cm:melon should attend to give evidence on Friday next, in the Committeee on the Bill. On the Report of the Mutiny Bill being brought op, Lord NOOZNT moved a clause for the partial abolition of flogging in the army. After a discussion of some length, the motive was negatived without a division. The Report was then received, as was that of the Marine Mutiny Bill, and both Bills ordered to be read a third time this day. The Stamps Duties Bill was committed, the Report to be brought up on Mon- day se'nnight. The Roman Catholic Land Tax Bill was committed, the Report to be received on Monday. The Registration of Free- holders Bill was read a first time. fir H. Paanau., Chairman of the Finance Committee, last night presented the first Report on the Income and Expenditure of the Country. Sir H. Paanat.t., on presenting it, made no remark about its contents, nor did any one pet questions to the Honourable Baronet as to the points it touched upon; he merely moved that it be printed, which was ordered by the House. The Paris Papers received last night contain no fur ther military intelligence ; but the Gazette de France, dated Sunday, states, that the letters received at Paris on Saturday, from Vienna, announce that all hope of the preservation of peace is given up in that capital, and that the news of the passage of the Pruth by the Russian army was every moment expected. The same letters add, that it was certain that Austria would join the three Allied Powers. All an4CIC. purporting to be tram the frontiers of Russia, appears in these Papers, the obvious tendency of which is to throw consider able distrust with regard to the good faith of our Government, and declares that the existence of the Porte was .endangered by her persisting in her pre sent policy. The loss of the Cambrian frigate, to hich we alluded yesterday, is unfortunately confirmed. In an attack on the Ist Feb. on the strong hold of the Greek pirates (the Isle of Carabusa), in the heat of the action that vessel approached too near the island, and struck on some rocks, where she became a wreck, but she crew were saved. The new President of Gieece, Count CAro eIITRIA, is stated as likely , to lose his popularity with his countrymen, in consequence of the strong measures he has adopted for the suppression of• piracy, in the profits arising from a hich the Primates themselves have not disdained to partake. A telegrahic dispatch has reached Paris, bringing news from Lisbon to the 49th ult. lour days later than that received by the Packet. By this communication , we learn, that Don MtGun had taken the oath to the Charter on the 26th, and that he had changed his Mi nistry. In addition to the Duke of CADOVAL and the Marquis of VILLA REAL, as President of the Council and Minister of War, and interior Minister for Foreign Affairs, he has nominated the Marquis of Vas*, Mi nister of Marine, M. Lit?., Minister of the Interior, M. FURTADO, Minister of Justice, and Count de LACZAI4, Minister of Finance. These appointments will give general satisfaction, as they offer the best guarantee for the maintenance of the Charter. The place of Foreign Affairs seems reserved for the Marquis of PALMELt.A. The following accounts have bees received by the French Mail this morning Information from the Danube of the 26th Feb. states, that it was believed Prince Metternich was going to Paris and London, to make a last effort with ;he Go vernments of England and France in favour of peace, but little hopes ate entertained of the result of his mis sion. According to letters from Bessarabia, the move ments of the troops have become very remarkable in that province: the army has received considerable re inforcements. The armies of the Pruth and Danube are daily concentrating to effect the passage, which it is I said will take place on the Ist or 7th of March. The Turks, OR their side, are preparing to defend vigorously the passage of that river. Letters from Frankfort of the 28th Feb. state, that an English Nobleman, the Marquis de Douro, eldest son of the Duke of Wellington, has gone with all speed to Vienna with important dispatches ; and on his arrival at Paris he had a conference with the English Minister for several hours. Private advices from Constantinople, received since the departure of the Diplomatic A gents, agree in stating that most part of the troops which the Grand Seig nor had collected in the above capital, are destined for an expe dition to the Mores; but it is hoped that the forces of France and England, going to the Peloponesus, will prevent the expedition. Orders, it is said, have been sent to the combined squadrons to impede the Ottoman transports from passing the Dardanelles. A Buenos Ayres and Brazil Mail arrived this morn ing. The papers we have received by this conveyance contain very little intelligence. Business, at the de parture of the packet, was continuing dull at Rio. The exchange is quoted at 32. The following are extracts: RIO DR JANEIRO, JAL 9. The Diario Fluminense of the Bth and 9th of January contains several official notices fiom the Minister of Finance, respecting the consignment to Europe of 24,000 cwt. of Brazil wood of the best quality, by the Agents of the Bank of Brazil-4,000 cwt. ate to be sent to London. These Papers do not mention the war with Buenos Apes. BUENOS AYRES Drc. 10. The Correo of this date contains two letters, dated Ensevada, 7th December, 7 A.m. from Commodore Jose Arenales, giving an account of a smart gallant naval action, in which the Brazilians had attacked, with 33 vessels of various sizes, the vessels under his command, which he does not specify, but which seem to have been only the . Ptongress Brigantine and a prize. The Bra 'Alan fOkee consisted of '27 small vessels, 2 brigs and 2 frigates: After an obstinate combat of several hours, the Captain of the Congress, and such of his men as were . not disabled, abandoned the ve s sel, after setting it on fire. About an hour afterwards, AdmL Brown coming in sight, with eight men of war. the enemy set fire to the prize, and sailed to meet him.—There is no account of any further action. DEC. 12.—A letter from an Officer in the Atmy of Operations, dated Cerro Largo, Nov. 28, 1827, says— " The appearance of our men, and their discipline, are much improved ; and I think that we want only 1,000 infantry more to be able to answer for the success of the campaign. We know for certain, that two more batta lions have arrived at Rio Grande. Three days ago four German deserters came over to us, who affirm, that great discontent prevails among the foreigners in the Pot tuguese army. DEC. 14-15.—General Lavalleja, by a Decree dated Durazuo, Dcc. 6, has declared, that the motives which made it necessary to place the province under military Government have ceased to operate, and he has there. fore appointed Citizen D. Luis Edward Perez to the post of Civil tiovernor.— Correo Politics y Mercantil, to Dec. 16. The Lord CHANCELLOR and the Archbishop of CAN• seaway had audiences of the KING yesterday.

We have authority to state, that his MAJISTY never appeared in the enjoyment of better health than when he received the RIECORDIPA Report in Council het week. His Mawr/ attended Divine Service nn Sunday, In the lisdvate Chapel, and walked from his own apartments there and back, *ithnut assistance. — It is understood to be his btaesslT's intention not to hold, as was anticipated, the Drawing Room until after Easter. The ar rangements which are understood to be in contemplation at present are, that the Kum will remain at St. James's Palace about a week or ten days longer, after which time he will return to the Royai Lodge, at which his Majesty will remain until Easter; soon after which he will again corn, to town, and remain about six weeks, during which period there will be two Levees and two Drawing Rooms, at the Palace. DUBLIN, MARCH 8. ADDRESSES TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT. The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, and Common Council of this City, went in state, preceded by the various civic officers and a full hand, to the Castle this day, with the Address voted by this respectable body of our fellow citizens to the Marquis of AN ettnr. They were received with the greatest cordiality by his Excellency; and their Address, which was read by Mr. Deputy Recorder, was most graciously replied to. His Excellency, in his reply, adverted to the trade and manufactures of the country. The College Address was presented shortly afterwards. The muster of the Collegiate body was numerous; indeed the cortege, who accompanied the Archbishop of Dublin, the Provost and Fellows, could not be less than three hundred. _ _ _ The Address was in Latin, and was read by Doctor C. NV WALT., the Senior Lecturer ; and the answer of his Excellency was most flattering to this eminent body. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Lady Macnaegbten spoke, on the lath July, in lat. Ur tong. 35. the Warren Hastings, Mason, bound to Madras and Bengal. DIAL, MARCH 10.—Wind W.S.W.—Arrived from London the Tropic, BRANDVORD, for Barbadoes; and Protector, FRIEND, for Gibraltar. The outward-bound remain. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH Wind S.W.—Put back thablacqueett, WALIIII, for Madras and Cldna.

The morning of Thursday se'rmigbt, the brigantine George, of Bideford, RICIIARDS Master, from Bristol. in running for Swansea harbour, mistook a light on shore for the one on the pier, previous to the latter being exhibited ; and before those on board discovered their perilous situation, the vessel struck. The gale still continu ing to increase, and :he sea running very high, the crew were obliged to take to the rigging, where they remained above two hours, with the sea breaking over them. No assistance could be afforded the poor fellows until the tide ebbed, when they were re lieved in a very exhausted state. The vessel is unfortunately wrecked, but hopes are entertained that the materials will be saved It is with pain we are compelled to notices disgraceful scene which ensued. Seven or eight fellows (we will not denominate them sea- men), who had offered their assistance to save the materials and other property, contrived to get into their possession a jar of whis key, of which they drank so freely u to be totally Incapable of rendering the least assistance, and two of them were in such a shocking state of drunkenness, that they were obliged to be hauled up from the hold by ropes. In this beastly state they were carried on ladders to their respective homes, where they became so alirm ingly ill that medical advice was deemed necessary, and to save the fellows' lives, the Gentlemen who attended were obliged to eject the liquor they had drank by means of the stomach pump. THEATRES. DRURY•LANF A new Tragedy, called Don Pedro, was last night produced at this Theatre from the pen of Lord NEI CHESTER. The following is an outline of the story : A French Princes,, Blanche of Bourbon (Miss E. Tare), bad plighted her troth to ins . Heary (Mr. Macaarav), brother to the King of Spain. Dees Pedro himself, however (Mt. Coconut), obtained her hand from her father, and she became an unwilling Queen. The cruelties of Don Pedro incite his subjects to rebel. Henry leads the insurgent bands. The suspicions of the King are aroused. He fears that his Queen still cherishes her early love for Henry, and he is confirmed in his suspicions by his mis st ssss s Maria Padilla (Mrs. W. Wass), who induces him to give orders for the murder of Blanche. In the mean time the rebel troops advance. Don Pedro marches to meet them—his forces are defeated, and be himself falls by the hand of his brother, who is immediately proclaimed King. Maria, the leading feature of whose character is ambition, heating of the new King's approach, drinks of the same poison which, by her order, has been previously ad ministered to Blanche. She con!esses her share in the murder of the Queen, and dies in the King's presence. Blanche enters, em braces Da; Henry, and dies in his arms. Here the tragic scene closes. The scene which called forth the loudest plaud is from the audience, was that in which Henry contrives to procure admission to the Queen in the disguise of a monk, and draws from her an avowal of her continued regard. This was sustained with much effect both on the pan of Miss TREE and Mr. MACREADY. Mrs. WEST played the character of Maria with dignity and force, and WALLACE, as the vengeful Jew, Alban, was fie quently applauded. The piece was received throughout with mingled applause and disapprobation, and Mr. WALLAcic was about to announce its repitition, but was obliged to retire without being heard. COVENT GARDEN. King Lear was given at this Theatre last night. The cast of the characters was the same as on former occa sions, when KEAN has acted. Of his pet slitation a the old man " tour score years and upwards," it is unneces sary to speak ; its excelleOce has been well known and appreciated. The acting Of Miss JARMAN, as Cordelia, was as usual correct. When the play was finished, Mr. FAWCETT came forward and announced to the audience that Madame VESTALS had been suddenly seized tth a severe cold, and was incapable of taking the part in the invincible:, which her exquisite agacerie has rendered so effective, but that Miss GOWARD, at a very short notice, had consented to supply her place. Tie gods seemed for a moment inclined to demur to the exchange, but their good nature, as generally happens, gained the victory ; and when Miss GOWARD made her appearance, she was received with unanimous applause. The difficulty which Miss GOWARD, who is a very clever and rising young actress, had in this case to overcome, is not a little increased by the trifling nature of the piece, wrath owes all its little interest to a few good situation 4, and to the excellent acting of VESTALS, FAWCETT, and Powea. She went through her part, cotwithstanding, with great archness and effect, sung her songs very sweetly and pleasingly, and shouldered her musket at the command of Sergeant " BARTLEY" so cleverly, that had she succeeded any one but Madame VESTRIS, who, when she pleases, is inimitable, we had nearly said unapproachable, we should have had little occasion to regret the change. Letters have been received from New South Wales via Mauritius, of the 2d of October. They contain nothing of any importance, but mention the arrival of three convict ships from England, viz. the Harmony, Prince Regent, and Cambridge. The Governor and the Triton, from New South Wales, had arrived at Mauri tius : the latter vessel belongs to the Leith Van Die -°) ' men's Land Company. The dispatches from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, Governor f the lonian Isles, which were received at the Colonial Office on Sunday evening, are dated the 22d ulr. At that time lastAntst PACHA remained inactive, nor had any intelligence of the Russians having crossed the Pruth, or indeed of any movement having been made on their side, reached Corfu. We understand that an unusual degree of excitement prevails in that island, and that the approach of hostilities is awaited with great anxiety. TIM LATE BRUNSWICK THEATIIt. Yestertley the COlnmittee assembled in the Irish Chamber, Ia Guildhall, for the purpose of distributing some of the ;midis euotributions amongst the unfortunate perfremen who were engaged at the Brunswirk Theatre, and 'the other persons employed about the building; The Committee were engaged during a great part of the day in devising the most eligible mode of alleviating the severe loss sustained by the death of the husbandis and fatheti, and they are determined, if the funds prove as great as has generally been anticipated, to provide. annuities of 101. or 1151. a-year for the poor widow who, but, for the benevolent exertions of the public, would be now depetident upon parish teller, or begging in the streets. The night 140. noul . able the Lord Mayor most humanely devotes a great part of his time to the subject, and does not omit any opportunity of forwarding the subscription, which goes on with vigour. Ie pursuance of the resolution entered into on Saturday last, the performers and other individuals who were attached to the Theatre, Were hi Itttendance at Guildhall, and thej received each a fortnight's gay. according to the stipulation entered into between them and Mr. Carruthers, and the deceased Mr. Mau rice. This accommodation had no reference to the division which is to be made amongst those who have lost their relatives, or been themselves mutilated or wounded. We understand that upwards of one hucdresi persons attended and received cash at the above-mentioned rate, and that the distribution was received with the liveliest gratitude. ft appears that there was scarcely one who was not in debt in his neighbourhood for some time for the necessaries of life as well as for lodglug, and that In most instances the creditors were themselves so hard pushed to obtain a livelihood as to be unable to extend the credit beyond a week. If any other Theatre in the metropolis bad fallen tinder sects circumstances, the necessities of the performers could not have equalled those of the unfortunate poor creatures who were yester day relieved. Most of them appeared in the lowest stage of po verty. for they had been struggling to maintain a decent appear ance for months in London, and those whom they were compelled to solicit, bad until yesterday no pay hut promises. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. -- - BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Maacn 10. The room was crowded, but every thins was flat till towards evening, when tome engagements were entered into which had the effect of bringing The Colonel still higher in the odds than be was last week. Druid is again thrown hick, owing, they say, to his being a second time amiss. Folly and Bugle were in higher favour than heretofore, while Bernardo gave way several points—they say that in taking a gallop last week with Amy, he ran away with the boy. The Colonel's promotion had au opposite effect on Merchant, who at Si to 1 had but a small party. The day's business was not brought to a close till past six o clock, when the odds were these— DEM. 13 to 1 apt The Colonel (taken) So to 1 apt Sontheote (taken) Si to 1 agst Merchant 20 to 1 apt Mariner (taken) ro 1 agst Sorcery n to I agst Bugle • 10 to 1 apt Navarin 25 to 1 apt Druid 15 to 1 ag.t Giraffe (Amy) 33 to 1 agst Zealot (taken) 18 to 1 apt Zinganee (Folly) 40 to 1 apt Lancastrian (take.) 50 to 1 eget Epbe.us ( Hampden) 50 to 1 apt Magnet (Shoveler) 5000 to 30 3114 C Brother to Juggler (taken) 2000 to 30 agst Sister to &delis& (taken) 1000 to 10 apt Spermaceti (taken) 1000 to 10 apt Centaur (taken) 1000 to 12 apt Aleaston (taken) 3000 to 30 apt Rough Robin 1000 even on the Colonel, Merchant, Sorcery, Nayarit], triad. and Bugle, apt the field. 7 to 4 on Sorcery apt Giraffe (taken).

The Holderness Fox Hounds meet on Thursday, at Lecoisbeld ; and on Saturday, at Brandsburton Moor. The Northumberland Fox Hounds to-morrow, at The High lander; and on Saturday, at East Thirston. The Boroughbridge Harriers on Friday.at Low Dunsforth: The Morpeth Harriers on Thursday, at Ulghans Grange; and on Saturday, at Throphill. The Hsu-worth Fox Hounds on Thursday, at Nortballerton. Mr. King's Hounds met on Tuesday at the race stands, Haldon ; after trying for some time, they found a fox toward. Ashton Hill, which took off in gallant style, in view of the whole field, present tog as fine a burst as was ever witnessed, whilst the cheering tally ho echoed long and loud his progress. The varmint un the occasion proved himself a good one, and up to trap—for after showing fine sport at a spanking gallop, for nearly an hour and half, with much good generalship, he gave his pursuers the slip ;another fox was, however soon after unkennclled , whicb the hound continued running till the dusk of evening, when they were called off near Chudieigh —hams and dogs having bad enough. The Members of the Bradninch Hunt held their last meeting for the season on Thursday se'nnight, when after a good hunt with' /Jr. Cross's excellent Hounds, the party adjourned to the Borough Arms to dine, and the evening was spent with much conviviality. Tuesday a fine fox was unkennelled at Tetcot, the seat of Sir A. Moleswortb, which after running for two hours, was killed about four miles from Launceston. There were about fifty horsemen, several of whom sported the scarlet coat, and the dogs showed fine sport. Friday week, Sir G. Sitwell's fox hounds had a most severe flan the hounds ran almost 20 miles without a check. The fox was found near Tinsley Park, and killed at Wigley, in the parish of Brampton, near Chesterfield—a very heavy country throughout the chase. A mare pony, two years, was sold by ruction, at Wiggonby, om Monday week, for 4'27; it changed its colour twice in the year, from a dun cbesput to a cream white; it is a dekcendant from Grey Emperor, which produced many curious colours. EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE. A short time since a horse, the property of Mr. T. Johnston, of Langleap, hauled a train of fourteen waggons, weighing fifty tons, from Garbsherry colliery, along the Monk land and Xirkintilloch Itailway, to its northern termination, a distance of six miles and three quarters, in one hour and forty-one minutes. HERCULEAN TASK. Two Gentlemen of respectability have made a match for Coats to walk 1,250 miles in 1,000 hours, at the Wellington Cricket ground, for £lOO a-side; one Gentleman backing time, and the other the Tall. COWS is to perform one mile and a quarter per hour, night and day,with tie exception of Sunday ; when, however, he is to be disturbed every hour, to prevent his gaining strength by sleep. This is 250 miles more than the Barclay Match. , FOOT RACE IN FRANCE- Tbe Ist instant, a Foot Race took place betvisen Gentle Hall, the Pottery runner, and a Frenchman of the nanneof Huron, at St. Germain's (about five miles from Paris), fur 2,0001. a-side. The distance was 350 yards, and the contest is described as having been extremely severe. The last hundred yards the men ware M neck and neck,' and Hall won but by half a yard. WRESTLING. Yesterday, the first match this season took place at the Welling. ton Cricket Ground. at Chelsea, between Pyle and Steers, both Devonshire men. The match was for £lO a-side, and many bets were laid by the partisans of each on the result ; the first two'out of three fair back falls. On setting-to, about five o'clock, Pyle was the favourite at odds; but Steers had the advantage in ler gth and strength of arm, and for an hour threw Pyle repeatedly, but not fairly on his back ; at length Steers succeeded and gained the first fall ; but evidently grew weaker, while Pyle, who appeared little altered, gained the second. Ou closing for the winning tall, bolls men exerted themselves to the utmost, and several foils took place between them, in one of which Steers fell with great violence on his right shoulder, and was unable to contend any longer, and was led away to be bled; he was, however, not seriously injured. P) le generously agreed to allow him to withdraw his share of the stakes. The company was numerous and respectable. ROYAL ACADEMY OF Music.—Friday the pupils of this Institution had a Morning Concert, at the King's Asmient Concert Rooms, Hanover-square, which was attended by a very e d w i t t b h l e a t d o e t g h r r e eo f pupil sability engaged, s d p t e h e n . numerous assemblage of elegant and fashionable c ompany. The highly GREAT FALL OF SNOW.—A -very •iolent storm from t wn i s hs t i °n or elm w :hat performance a ts h i p a o r u t l d beingni v u as t condu ctedis c gr aced older profession a l s . r the N. and N.
