sE lsing t h e immediate attention of his NI .jesty's G vcromeitt. WILNIOT HORTON said, he knew that the o,l 4 sny had been represented as a perfect elysium frn the convict..

Afier ~.me observations from Mr. M A RRYAT, the Bill was reaja second lime, and ordered to be committed on that day l ensitet• Oa t he motion of Mr. WYNN, the Election Trial Acts' Conso lidation Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed Monday.vn ROMAN CATHOLIC LAND TAX BILL. ()lithe motion of Mr. G. BANK FA, the Report of the Boman c at holic Land Tax hill was taken into further consideration ; and t t t e Anweitimente were agreed. On the motion that the Bill be e ngrossed, The ATTORNEY GENERAL ob erved, that there was no pr: of that the Roman Catholic suffered by the law as it now stood. Before he could admit that, lie must tee i• proved that the Roman Catholic was assessed higher than his Protestant neighbour. Mr. G. BANK ES exptessed his regret that his Hon. and Learned Friend had not stated his opinion on this subject at an earlier period, as he should have been happy to adopt any of his Hon. and Learned Friend's suggestions. So far was he from thinking that the 13111 would give relief to those who ought not to receive it, that all his fear was that it would not give relief to tfroie who ought to receive it. The Bill had b een pieptred by persons of considerable ability; and who o ere very conversant with the necessities of the case. The Hon. Gentleman then went through an e l a borate history of the Land Tax, from the reign of William the Third to the present day, in order to show its unequal operation upon the Catholics, whom the Bill wculd relieve from this burthen, and place upon an equ tlity with their Protestant brethren. The SOLICITOR.GENERAL said, that if the subj et had been agitated . earlier, he was convinced that the Orli could never have proceeded se far as it bad d ne. No man could be more adverse to imposing taxes upon Cathodes heavier than truce Protestants; bat he onuld maintain, that with respect to the Land Tax, t! ey laboured *rider a very slight grievance. In the year 1794, relief was given to Catholics doubly asse sed, and it was continued to them by the Bill of the year 1798, which made the Land Tax per petual. It was to be supposed that all C itholics, who NJ felt themselves aggrieved, had availed thenr , ,elve of the remedy afforded by law; but it there wire any who hsd not done so, he should have no ohj -ction to their being relieve.l. But the Hon. Member wished to assume as a principle, that becaus? the Catholics were doubly taxed in the reign of King William, they were • to be doubly taxed now ; and he wished to assurn that half their present assessment bring taken off, they would then be on a par with the Protestants. He de. Hied the accuracy of this, and should object to any Bill founded upon such a motion. The returns showed that the Catholics were but very little aggrieved, and that the Hon. o..istivaran's views were erroneous. Mr. G. BANKE.S spoke in explanation ; and after a short discussion. upon withdrawing the Bill, it was finally ordered to be engrossed, and read again on Monday senn:ght. The ostler Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Bow adjourned at lIALr•FAIIT NINE O'CLOCK, tail Monday. THE EVENING STAR.. LON 1)4 oN. SATURDAY. APRIL 19, 1828. STOCK KXCIIIANGK.

Letters (torn Odessa of. the •ltd ult. quoted by the Gazette de Fiance of Thursday,' state that war has been declared against the Porte, and that the ming only waited for favourable Weather to open the campaign. The letters further state, that the Civil Governor of Odessa would leave that place, as soon as hostilities be gan, to take upon him the functiilns of Intendant of the Principalities ; and that contracts have been signed for the conveyance of every thing necessary for the troops on their march into the interior of Turkey. We learn from.the same source, that the Emperor NICHOLAS is expected at Warsaw on his way to the army on the Turkish frontiers, and that during his stay he is to re• ceive the homage of his Polish subjects. At Toulon warlike preparations are continued with great activity, but the de.tination of the expedition is still unknown to the public. Dispatches brought by his MAJESTY'S ship Lyra to Falmouth, in sir days, were received last sight at the Foreign Office, from Sir FREDERICK LAMB, ORE Ambassador at the Court of Lisbon. Dispatches were at the same time received at the Admiralty from Lord ASIBLIUS BEAILICLIBC, corn• manding his MAJESTY'S ships in the Tagus. We received this morning the Algemeine Zeitnng, and Frankfort Papers to the 13:h instant : their contents are destitute of political intelligence. The following age extracts: !4AYENCE, Aran. 4. The prices of corn had risen, in consequence of the ri ein France. Now that they have fal.eit in that king dom, they decline more and more among us. At Mat seines the price of wheat was, on the 23J March, two francs, in consequence of the permission of importation At Lyons, Gray, Dijon, floc. where the hectolitre was at 30 francs, it is now sold at from 25 to 27 francs. The prices at Toulouse, Rouen, and MITI!, are likewise fall• ing. and they have declined also at Strasburg, Basel, Worms, Frankenthal, and on the Maine. The general tendency to a decline in France could not fail to pro duce a similar effect on our market, where wheat, which . on the 3d of Jan. this year was at 10 fl-iins SO kreuzer. is. now worth only seven flotins 40 kreuzer, Some consignments, but not considerable, continue to be Made from this place to the Moselle and Strasburg. We now receive very little from the Maine, because the prices are nearly as high at Frankfort, where the maker of wheat is sold for • 7fl. SOkr. chiefly for home con. sumption. Letters from Dantz'c of the 18th March, say, that the corn trade there is very dull. The navigation of the' Vi.tula was interrupted by floating ice, and no supplie. could come yet. Wheat of the best quality was worth oily I Ift. 87c. on the spot; delivered at Havre, all charges included, it would come to 151 r. Under these circumstances a farther decline in the prices may be expected in Western Europe, as soon as the supplies from the North shall be received. In the ports of the Mediterranean the prices appear to keep up, and rather inclined to rise.—Algerneine Zcitung. .Ipril 12. DARNISTADT, Arita 9. Considerable uneasiness having been felt for the health of his Royal Highne.s our Grand Dske, a bul letin has been issued to day by Dr. Wedekend, his phy sician, by which we are assured that our beloved Prince is much better. NUREMBURG, Aran $. Yesterday the ceremony of laying the first stone of the iniended monument to Albert Duver was performed with suitable ceremony. Artists and friends of the Arts had assembled from all parts of Germany, and even from Italy, and mild spring weather favoured this patriotic festivity.—Franifort Papers, April 12. It was a remark of Dean SA ter, that in the Arith metic of the Customs, two and two do not always make four, or in other words, that high duties do not invariably enhance the Revenue. The case is pretty much the same with protecting duties, which do not necessarily ensure prosperity to the interest attempted to be protected. By making the public pay for their Corn twenty millions a year more than they would do, if .. importation were unrestricted, the agriculturists di minish the productive power of the country to that ex tent, and consequently prevent a considerable annual accumulation of capital, which, if not arrested in its progress, would be continually increasing the number and means of the buyers of Corn. In this point of view, therefore, we think the Landowners have widely mis taken their permanent interest. We do not wish to join in the cry of selfishness and oppression that has been raised against the country Gentlemen, for we trust mote of them are influenced by shortsighted notions of ad• vantage to the kingdom in general arising from restric tioat than by motives of individual emolument. We should be the last to approve of the destruction of the country Gentlemen of England, and with them of that public spirit, those kind feelings, and those honourable principles, which have distinguished them for so many generations. For their own sake, therefore, we do wish that they would consider the Corn B II with rather more enlarged views than their tenants or bailiffs adopt, and instil into the minds of their masters. If Corn is sold at a neighbouring market at a trifling reduction, the steward, in handing in his accounts, adds, perhaps, the concluding reflection—" Prices must be kept up higher than this, or we shall be all ruincl." And this makes r deep impression on the Landlord, who comes up to town red hot against Free Trade, and prepared to op pose, tooth and nail, any thing in the odious.shape of a Corn Bill. But, good ►Mr. Steward! what %souk! you ‘ay, if your master's team should some day return home from market with the wheat unsold, for want of any ustomers at all? Wculd you not think this worse even than low pikes? It is to such a point that mat ers will inevitably be driven, unless the po i alation can be protected against that state of starvation which would be the malt of a stoppage, or even a severe de pression of the manufactures of Great Britain. And let k never be forgotten, that•.the preservation of die foreign inntrket w ill lest to us only so long as the foreign manufacturer can be undersold by us—and no longer Dispatches were received this moaning at the Colo nial Office front Haifa:, the Mauritius, and New Soutl This day, at noon, their Boyd Highnesses the Doke and Duchess of CLARENCE and suite, in four carriages and four, arrived at their house in the Admiralty, from Bushy Park, for the season. ROYAL A RTILLERY-WOOLW ICH. The Four Companies of Artillery attached to the Field Batteries, with our Army in Portugal, have disembarked here, from Lisbon.

Psasasors, Arlin. 16.—Yesterday evening, at six o'clock, the Leda frigate, of 46 guns; was hunched at this doek-yard, and at tracted a great number of spectators. It is now decided that the Waterford packet station is to be removed from Milford to Pem broke Dock, as being the most eligible spot in the harbour for the erection of the new pier, the expense of which will be very trifling and as the principal part of the land iu the neighbourhood belongs to Government, it will ultimately yield them a considerable revenue from the buildings which will, no doubt, take place On the pro- perty. It ie also expected that the dockyard here will be consider ably increased. and put on a footing with Mynioutk and Porta -1 mouth yards; indeed, it is remarkable that this harbour, coosidered the finest and most capacious in the' kingdom, has been so long neglected. There is at present Only one small battery of six guns to protect it. It appears, however, to have been token notice of since the visit of his Royal Highness thel.oso MON ADMDIAL last summer, which does great credit to his discernment. Cowes, Ante 18.—Wind W.S.

The brig hoisted Buenos Ayres colours, and was painted yellow OD the bulwirks. The pirates took several sails, cordage, and other store., and a small quantity of her cargo; also took the Master and carpen ter on boassi, and kept them covered up from 30 minutes past three to ten v. at. when they 'clamed them on board, after taking the Captain's money, the men's clothes, and tbe Mate's watch. She carried six carriage guns, and one large gun mounted on a swivel. Extract of a letter from St. Kitt's, dated March 11 :—" Last week there were four privateers, under Buenos Ayrean colours, at St. Eustatia, with three prizes, whom' cargoes have been sold at from 30,000 to 40,000 dollars. A ship of about 450 tons, la 4a with coffee, has been lately carried into St. Kustatia, and is now fitting out as a man of war brig. A ship of 500 tons, laden with cotton and hide., from Pernambuco to Europe, is now lying under the Island of Sabo, a prize." Letters and Papers have been received at the Jamaica Coffee house up to the 2d of March. The following is an extract of a letter from Captain Davies, of the Waterloo, dated Port Antonio, 43d February, 1828:—" On the Bth January, being 45 leagues west of Cape Finisterre, at nine P. M. saw 'a ship near us showing lights and firing guns to leeward. It was then blowing iffy strong ; we hove tali and showed a light. She ran up under our stern, hailed, and asked, s Why you no stop your shie sooner /' and told me he would send his boats in the morning, giving us a•glan at the same time, the shot passing between the mists. I now saw be was a corsair, an Algerine. There was a high sea, and no byat could live in it. We exerted ourselves ito making -ail, by lettintout the reefs, setting courses, &c. and kept the ship away to the southward, so that we ran ten knots. When be saw us making sail, he recom menced firing at us. In 20 minutes we lost sight of him, and saw him no more. Fell in with the Duke of Bronte the next day." EITIIAOLDINART Ciacuaisimaree.— For the last eight or. ten days, an extraordinary motion of the sea has been felt in the channel, insomuch that several ships outward hound could not proceed to the westward of the Lizard, and ultimately have been obliged to put back into Plymouth Sound and Harbour. The Mulgrave Castle, Juvenilia/4, after encountering the sea for the last ten days, arrived in the Sound on Monday last. The rise of tide has been great for several days following. viz. 19 feer, which has produced a grand and terrific burst upon the Breakwater, many feet above the crane-heads. From the Grenada Gaulle, February 4:S.—The ship St. George, Brown, which arrived on Wednestlay last from London. has on board the monument to the memory of the late Joseph hlarryart, Esq. formerly our Agent in London.

COVENT•GARDEN THEATRE. Mr. KEAN appeare;.l again last night in the Merchnia of Venice, and very iidmirably performed Shy/rack. Tws is a character that he does to perfection. Take it alto gether, even Cooke had not used to perform it so well. Miss Janssau, as Pergd, improves much—we were highly pleased with her last night, especially in the Council Scene; and it, like Mr. KEAN, when he has any particular speeches to pronounce, or any .particular part of the scene to enact, she mete to come more in front of the stage, her countenance would be seen more distinctly, and she would be better heard. This young Lady ought, ton, to imitate Mr. KEAN in his excellent method of taking plenty of time in the deliver►• of the dialogue; and if she were to introduce more pau.e*.. her acting would have a better effect.
