I It E had a Petition to present upon the subject of this Bill. 'An opinion generally prevailed, that the regulations to which the Butter Trade of Ireland had been sub jected bad bean productive of considerable loss, and the object of the Bill now beture their Lordships was to abolish those regula tions. The Petition he held in his hand was in favour of the former . system. He could not say be agreed in opinion with the Petitioners, although as they had thought fit to place the Petition in bit hand., it was his duty to lay it hetore ;heir Lordships. The only points otdoutit or difficulty which had arisen during the dis cussion of this subject related to the compensation claimed by indi viduals on account of the advantages they hal efijoied under the existing system, and these objectionsshad be believed been sur niountrd. The Petition front the Chamber of Commerce of Newry, against the Butter Trtile of Ireland Bill, was then read and otdered to lie upon the table. • The Butter Trade/Ireland) Bill then passed through a Committee. Mr. CRATIIK, from the Treasury, presented an account of all Monies received as Droits of the Admiralty. The Holise then Adjourned until tn-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF CONINIONS. The SPEAKER having taken the Chair at four o'clock, said, that before: proceeding to business, be must express his regret at the iscionSemente to which the House had been put yesterday. in consequence of his absence, and his deep sense of obligation for the, indulgeace extended to hint upon that, as well as upon all other occasions.

The Manifestoes of the Ponxit have, in a. great degree, failed of their effect in exciting the enthusias m of the Turks against their invaders, and there seems to be a disposition in Constantinople, as there' wds in the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia, to re gard the advance cf the Russians with apathy, it not with a secret desire for their success.. The ' Turki,h army have undoubtedly displayed great courage and energy ; but under such a tyranny as that of the Porte, it is hardly to be expected that the peo ple, deeply imbued as they are with religious senti ments, would feel 'any regret, or apprehend any sub stantial deterioration of their cond:ton, from being sub iectid to a f reign yoke. The magnaniiisity displayed in several instances by the Emperor NicsrotAs has pro bably • made a considerable impression in his favour. The House of Commons met for a short time• last night, and adjourned to Friday, to enable the House of 1.-irds to pass the several Bills now before them, pre paratory to the Prorogation. The SPEAK ER laid before the House a Petition from certain Electors of Clare, against the return of Mr.O'CouNELt,whiCh was ordered to be considered on tie 21st of August, or, in fact, post poned till next Session: We apprehend no legal ob. jecuon exists .to a Catholic being electeff—it beirig'no part cf the Sheriff's duty to inquire into the religiqn tf the Candidates—he being only bound to return the person having most votes. The Candidate May Oi -1 *lately take the oaths, for any thing knows' collie eon: trary at the election. The questions' raised by ,Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. BUTLER, as to whether the dis ability of sitting and voting actually exists, will be de termined on Mr. O'CostuaLes "resenting himself to the House in February next, which he has stated his determination to do.

We have seldom, indeed, seen such graceful action in any person who appeared for the first time on the stage. Her voice, as tar as could be judged, is not strong ; but it is clear and agreeable; and it she.could only sing with a little' more spirit and energy, we are quite sure that she would be much better received by the audience.— Mr. itairtaza, who appeared for the first time in this piece, was very successful as Italpilt The scene between him and Mrs..FITZWILLIAM (Panay), in the third act, was admirably performed, and excited great applause.

Eitract of a letter-[Font the Agent to Lloyd's at Cadis, dated July 1, 1828;—" Part of the crew. of the brig Defensor de Pedro, which was wrecked near the Cortadura, now confined in prison here, have declared that they robbed the British barque Morning Star off the bland of Ascension, and committed the horrible es cesseisvhich accompanied that act. It would appear from their statement that they left Rio Janeiro-in November, for the coast of Africa, for slaves; that while the k original Commander, Pedro Mares de Sousa Sacramento, and , part of the crew were on shore, the others took possession of and made off with the vessel, and from the end of December or beginning of January they have been pirates. They confess to having murdered the Captain, part of the' crew, and the passengers whom they carried off frem the Morning &ar. They " also confess to have robbed the.Suabury, the New Prospect, and the Cessnock, also an American ship, off' 'the Island of Ascension, 'murdered all on board, and ' afterwards burnt her. An Koglishrisan, who it is said is from Jerry. denies every thing; nevertheless, one of the Portuguese declares that be scuttled ;the Morning Star and killed one of the crew.

It is situated on the river Marizza; the ancient Hebrus, and this its position, as well as the neighbouring forest's, will present some advantages for the defence of the plice. If it were once in the pox- . . session of the Russians, it is believed that little diffi culty would be found tin advancing to Varna, which is a plate of great importance,. and which in former wars used to be Consi.:ered as one of the kers of Con stailinople. It has an excellent harbour, and stip. - plies the capital with provisions. The place derives its strength from its position rather than from any con . liderable faitiicatibns.. The inhabitants, of whom there are stated to be about 16,000, are Turks, G:eeks, and Armenians. A Greek Metropolitan used to reside intim city. Of the numerous battles which have been fought in the neighbourhood of this place, the most isem.ark'able was that in 1444, in which Vladislas, King of Poland and-Hungary, was defeated by-Sultan Mitred IL and lost • •Mangala, in the district of Stlistria, one of the places which the last bulletin states to have been taken by the Russians, is called Tomiswar in Turkish, and is generally consideied to be the identical Tomi, in which the unfortunate Roman port wo doomed to send the remainder of his days, among a horde of barbarians. Inn the village of Gntschun, which is also reported to hive been taken, peace was concluded between Russia arid the Porte in 1774.

He says that the Sultan, being per- ; tectly satisfied that the Rassiani are not making war against him for the acquisition of territory, is not sorry to have an opportunity of• proving to his subjects the inefficacy of their means of defence, and the absolute necessity of their assisting in the consoldation of the Nizantgedid system, which it has long been his most anxious wish to establish, and against which he has hitherto met with so many obstacles, from the aversion of the Turks to its principles . . It seems, therefore, to be the' intention of the Sultan to send against the Russians as many hordes of irregular and undisciplied Asiatics as he can collect, with the view of - convincing them by: the defeat and dispersion which he expects they will meet, of the impossibility of contending against a fo reign foe, whose Military system is organized on prin-. ciples which.renders it irresistable when not opposed by means precisely similar.
