Lord GIIFI'OI4O rose at four o'cloch, and at five the LOAD CHAN . - cv.i.i.oa entered the Douse. 31r. Invitsc, from the Custom-house, presented a Return of the val.'s. of the Bxports from Great Britain to South Anitrica in the years DWI, Iri32, and 1835. Mr. BROODEN, Sir ?J. \V. RIDLEY, Bart. and others, brought up the Passage Vessels lieguLtim Bill between Great Britain and Irelind, the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Coals Regulation Bill, and the Oldham Church Bill, which were afterward; rez.d a first time. The Glass Duties Bill, and the Tratacr of Dividends Bill, were read a third time, passed, and messaged to the other House. The Earl of LIVERPOOL gave notice that on Monday next be should move for a Committee to inquire into the state of those districts in Ireland which were under the operation of the Insur rection Act. The LORD CHANCELLOR took this opportunity to present a Petition from the Operative Silk Weaver, of London and West. htimter, and the Liberty of the Tower, signed by 2.4,000 names, against the Spica!fields Acts Repeal hi ll; which Petition was read at Irttgth, 'received, and /aid upon the table of the House. The same Noble and Learned Lord then presented a Petition to the same tffect from 700 Engine Weavers in Spitalfields, who prayed that the pending DM might not pass into a law. of A BElLDEEN•presented a hill for the regulation of Seettish Entails, which was immediately read a first time. ALIEN BILL. The Order of the Day was then read for the third reading of the Alien Bill. V►scount GAGE said that he had always objected to the passing of such a Bill, on account of the abuses to which it was liable. Such persons, for instance, as the gallant Mina, and the no less gallant Alava, were liable to be sent out of this country, at the instance of an in former, and before his Majesty's Government had an opportunity of malting a proper inquiry. He approved of the principle of the Bill during the war, but could not reconcile himself to its te•enactinent in a time of peace. The Earl of LIVERPOOL explained, and defended the conduct of his Majesty's Minister* in their applica tion of the Act. Viscount CLIFDEN said that he agreed with his Noble Friend (Lord Gage) in the objection he had made, and would second an amendment which he understood it was the intention of his Noble Friend to move, that aliens not accused of crimes against their own Govern ments should, on being sent out of this country, be at liberty to go wherever they pleased on paying the ex- penses of their passage. For instance, a Spaniard might be sent back to Spain, or a Neapolitan to Naples, which would be like sending them to execution. It was enough to make one's blood broil at entertaining the thought that any one individual so circumstanced might be delivered up to the Autocrat of all the Russias. It was one be nefit of the freedom of the Press, which was like the breath in our nostrils, that measures of this nature were exposed by it. The LORD CHANCELLOR here remarked, that their Lordships might amend the Bill by an additional clause, which must be introduced as a rider on it. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said that he could not see the utility of the clause proposed by the Noble Viscount, if his Majesty's Ministers were to be at liberty to send away foreigners at all. As to the objection that the Alien Bill might be made a ground of war between this' and other countries, their Lord..hips must know that if foreign nations frit any wish to go to war with this coun try, they would easily fiad a better ground of hostility. Lord ELLENBOROU6 II supported the amendment suggested by his Noble Friend. - Lord HOLLAND said that be felt it necessary to repeat the objection he had always made, that the whole principle of the Bill was arbitrary in its very nature. He could not consent to entrust such a power to any set of men, however estimable in their private capacity, nor indeed to the highest man in the State. By the pre sent Bill the Ss!cietaiy of State had the power to send out any individual where he liked ; • and it remained at his good pleasure to send individuals to any part of the habitable globe, to be tiled by what courtesy now called law, which, howeyrr, was anything but law or justice. Viscount GAGE proposed to recommit the Bill, for the purpose of introducing an amendment to it. Upon the stiveviini of the Earl of ROSMAN, the con sideration of the Bill was adjourned during pleasure. Viscount GAGE now presented an Amendment to the Alien Bill, which went to provide that no foreigner should hereafter he forced to go from this country to another, which might be dangerous to him either in fortune or life. The Earl of LIVERPOOL could not see the neces sity of the clause. Government, as die law had always stood, might send out Aliens wherever they pleased ; and it was possible to send them to situations and under circumstances more dangerous than if they were placed at the disposal of their lawful Sovereigns. It was im pos*ible tor his'Slajesty's Government to send out such persons, without the power at the same time of sending them out. The question was then put from the Woolsack on the amended clause, when their Lordships divided as follows t Non C,s,teilts •s• MU .. 23 Contents ... ...• ... 13 Majoti:y for the third reading ... —l2 The Bill was then read the third time, passed, and a ate.:s:ge sent to the Comm ons. Viscount CI.IFDEN presented a Petition from the Nobility, Gentry, Freeholders, and Clergy of the County of Kilkenny against the Tithe Composition Act. The Noble Lord remarked, that the Petitioners wished for some improvement in the tithe system in Ireland ; as, for instance, that Vestries should he held after harvest for the assessment of tithes on laud, and that such a change in Tithe Courts should take place as might Leal to a cheaper and better administration of justice. Ile hoped that some good might be effected - by Mr. Goulburn's 1)111, which was now in progress through the other House, and which, wheiter.:r it came before Lurd.ltips, would afford him :in opportunity of stating his view► more at l4rge. THE sruntmer.Ds ACTS• The Eat! of LAUDERDALE now movel the Order of the day, upon which then Lordships wete summoned for the second reading of the Spitalfields Acts Repeal Bill. It was the object of the present Bill (Ms Lordship sa,id) to repeal the Acts of George 11. and George 111. and par ticulaily those with regard to Ireland. The ob ject of the Act passed in the 13th year of his late Ma jesty was to regulate the wagesof journeymen wearers, and also to make the master weavers all subject to pe nalties, if those embarked in the business of S r italfields should venture to employ their capital in another place. Tire Acts passed in the 13th and ;;Ist of George 111. ere of some moment, as by the latter the Magistrates ALITe Authorised to fix the wages of the journe)men silk *ravers, tint no penalty was attached CO the m. cots as in the oilier case. Now, there was also an Act passed by the Parliament t.f Ireland, quite of an •they kind, tot which placed the regulationof the silk trade in Ise land in the hands of a certain number of Ladies and Gentlemen; so that in effect,- the Dublin Society had perhaps as much operative influence in Leland as Parliament bad here. In this age, howeier, when the power of opinion was cemfessedly so great, he could not anticipate the least "opposition to the present Bill. When he looked to his own side of the House, and reflected on the sound opinions which were en tertained by his Noble Friends upon the subject of trade in general, it was impossible for opponents to start up ; and, happy was he to say, that as little did he ex pect from Ministers, since his Majesty's Government had carried into practice those theories they formerly were so reluctant to admit, and had proved, by their conduct, that they were not saying ore thing whilst meaning quite another thing: He could not believe, for a moment, that their Lordships would now refuse their sanction to the second reading of a Bill, in which stage they assented fait year; since such a prevarica tion, with no seasons set forth, was unusual in Parlia mentary proceedings, and more especially when their Lordships were asked to decide the point, whether the Master Silk Manufacturers were to be hampered till this country came into a disadvantageous competition with foreign markets. What view—what feeling, he would here ask, had the master manufacturer to im prove this important trade, if he were not permitted to benefit by the embarkment of capital in return ? If the master manufattuser could derive no advantage by the employment of his capital, it was impossible for their Lordships to expect that he would embark it. Ilis opinion was, and this.was formed from an exanfination of documents then upon the table of the house, that if the silk manufacturers of this country were properly . encouraged, we should, after being the importers o f raw silks, soon become the exporters of manufactured sinks. Nor was this, he observe..!, a mere crude notion ; for it was founded on our manufacture of cottons and muslins, which had arrived at a perfection that chal lenged and defied all competition; and, therefore, hi. saw no reason why this country should not presently be enabled to export silks as she already did cottons. For these reasons, he wculd not have gone further in support of the present Bill,bad not it so happened that the journeymen silk weavers were petitioning their Lordships against it ; and he must say that he stood before their Lordships as much advocating the true in terests of the journey men as the masters. Suppose the weavers to go before the district Magistrates to regulate' the prices of labour, what were the latter to do? The dispute must depend on the price of the quartern loaf, be it at Bd. or he it at 10d. for such was the regulating discretion of the Magistrate. Then, again, were to be considered the fluctuations of fashion, which enhanced the price of manufactured silks without any benefit to the men? What, then, was the effect of a free trade ? He always laid it down as a maxim in manufactures, that the greater the consumption the greater the em ploy. Were it otherwise, as might happen in this case, supposing the Bill were negatived, the master-manu facturer must be compelled to withdraw his capital al together, and the journeymen must consequently be thrown out of employment. The Earl of WESTMORLAND was of opinion that so numerous a branch of persons in any trade should not remain without some regulations, and, therefore, he wished not to disturb those provisions which, it was not denied, had long preserved the peace of the Yeti tioners, and reconciled them to their station in human life. —He must deny the assumption that all parties were friendly to the Bill; for there was as much alarm in the industrious classes in Spitalfields, if not even more than ever. As the Noble Lord (Lauderdale) had failed to establish his premises, he would move that the Bill be read a second time this day months. six Lard ELLENBOROUGH 'spoke decidedly in favour of the Bill, as consecutive of that which had lately passed. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, when their Lordships came to a division that the Bill be now read a second time, as follows : Content . Non-contents blajority for the second reading -15 On returning to the bar, the Loan Cwattexxxoa bad left the Woolsack, and was urging fresh considerations to induce their Lordships to pause. He reminded the House that, whosoever else changed their opinions, there were upwards of 24,000 persons whose opinions remained the same. The Earl of LAUDERDALE explained. The Bill was afterwards read a second time, and then ordered to be committed for Tuesday next ; for which day their Lordships were summoned to attend the service of the House. At Seven o'Clock their Lordships adjourned to Monday morn ing at teu. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPENCER took the Chair at four o'clock.

Mr. Alderman WOOD moved that the Thames Navigation D, Ins Bill be read a first time. Mr. BA NK ES opposed the Bill, which be characterised as a job. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, the job, as it was termed, to effect which the Bill was brought in, was one by which the public would be saved a large sum annually in the consumption of coals—the saving would be no less than £120,000 per annum. Sir M. W. RIDLEY brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the Petition presented against the Return of John Stuart Wortley, the Representative of that Borough in Parliament. The Committee declared the Sitting Member duly elected, but that the Petition was not frivolous or vexatious. Sir A.

Ordered to be referred to the Conintitee on the Bill. Mr. DOWNIE presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of Stirling, against the continuance of Negro Slavery.—Ordered to be printed. . .

BENNET presented two Petitions, cite from the inhabit ants of Trowbridge, and the other from the Licensed Victuall:rs and Brewers of the same place, against the Beer Bilk—Ordered to be printed. IRISH TITHE COMUUTATION. Mr. S. RICE presented a Petition from the parish of Castle- Lyon, in the county of Cork, comrlsining of injuries sustained by the petitioners, owing to the improper conduct of a person, the Churchwarden of the parish, wile had secured the nomination of the Select Vestry by improper means. Ily these means tLe tithe intended to be commuted was grossly misrepresented, and the pa rish assessed at near:y .69.,000 fur tithe, the lands of which, umfer a rack-rent, were not worth above 09.000 a year. The suOjeet had already been referred to the hishest Authorities without being able to obtain any redress. Mr. GOULDURN observed, that were the facts as stated, lie should have consiA-td the case one worthy of examination by the [louse, and that the parties complained of deserved their censure. But he v: as induced to believe the parties had not plied themselves within the letter, though they might within the spirit of the new rube Commutation Bill. Ile certainly should be glad that the sub ject should he thoroughly ihvestigated, to see if it were yet possible to redress the grievances complained of. The Petition was then read, and purported to be from the owners and occupiers of land in the parish of Ca-eh-Lyon. Mr. S. RICE then moved that the Petition shotild be printed. After a few words from Mr. S. RICE, Sir J. K rwe.tui, aid Mr. Ei.Lts, the Petition was ordered * to be laid on the POOR LAV,S (SCOTLAND) BILL. ?Ir. MAXWELL prest.wed a Petitio:i front the Presbytery of Paisley, against the Scotch l'oor Law. Amendment kill. The LORD ADVOCATE considered the Bill to be of vital importance, and vbished the consideration of it should be postpones!, Lord A. HAMILTON defended the Bill. Mr. HUME also defended the Bill; the object of which was to take away from the Ministers and Elders the power of ordering an assessment for the support of the poor, to which they themselves did not contribute, unless, indeed, they happened to be proprietors of land. The Bill also contained other equally beneficial clauses, all of which -could be discussed in a Committee. He therefore trusted the Learned Lord would withdraw his opposition to it. The Petition was then ordered to be printed. COUNTY JAILS. Mr. COURTENAY moved the Order of the Day for taking into further consideration the Report of the County Jails Bill. The SNEAKER having left the Chair, The lion. Member states shortly the inconveniences that arose front the jails in towns and small jurisdictions. The principal ob. jest of the measure was to enable local jurisdictions to contract with the Magistrates of the county for the safe custody of their prisoners in the county jails. Mr. F. BUXTON expressed his approbation of the measure. The present system of local jails was attended with great disadvantages. Mr. Secretary PEEL said be *as quite free to confess that a thorough reform was necessary in the jails of small jurisdictions. In many there were no opportunities either for air or exercise. It would, however, be better, in the first place, to enable the local jurisdictions to contract with the county. After the lapse of a year the whole subject would he inquired into, and such regulations adopted as must put the local jurisdictions to great expense in pro aiding proper places of confinement, unless they succeeded in con tracting with thecounty. On the suggestion of Mr. EvAirs, a clause was added to the Bill to enable local jurisdictions to transfer to the County Magistrates, for the purpose of enlarging or building county jails, such sums as they might hold for the purpose of erecting local jails. After a few words from Mr. F. Fatima and Mr. Secretary Part, the Report was received and ordered to be taken into further con sideration on Monday next. Dr. LUSHINGTON moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Slave Trade Laws Consolidation Bill. The Act paaac4 .n th• pre.ent Secslnn , making the trade piracy, was added to the Bill as a new clause.—The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bill was then reconsidered in a Committee of the whole House. Mr. J. SMITH observed upon the clause respecting the allow ance to be granted to Bankrupts for their exertions in recovering and securing their property for the benefit of the creditors, that be thought the suns specified (4001.) too small for many cases, such as had fallen within his knowledge, and should have wished that the sum mentioned in the Bill which he brought forward last year (2000/.) had been fixed upon. The House resumed, the CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the Report was ordered to be received on Tuesday next. On the motion of Mr. GOULBURN, the Irish Clergy Residence Bill was recommitted.—Several clauses and verbal amendments were agreed to, the House reumed, and the Report was ordered to be received on Monday next. GAME LAWS. On the Motion of Mr. S. Niroxxxxr, fur the recommittal of the Game Laws Bill, Sit J. E. BItYDGES moved as an amendment, that it should be recommitted that day three mouths. After a few observations from Mr. LOCKHART, the amendment was withdrawn, and the Bill ordered to be recommitted on Mon day next, it being understood that it should be debated on the third reacting, which was fixed for Friday next. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half -pat Twelve o'Clock. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1824. THE FUNDS. SPOOK EXCHAI4GE. TWELVK O'CLOCK.

Poet, who, possessing talents of-a transcen. dant nature, has perished in devoting thou to the emancipation of Greece—for in this cause he has fallen, and &reply indeed will his loss be felt. Although it would be impossible to defend some tf the recent publications of Lord Ihnox, yet to us hi s failings always rather appeared those of education, ; iv a yielding to the immediate society in which he mi l .. filed, than errors of the heart; and Ureic ale miny acts of his which not only do honour to his rank I.fe, hut to humanity. His memory will, however, i tv .. in his vi of ks, and in his exe:tions in the carne t f Gteect, is hen his failings will he forgotten.

If we could have a list of the cla.o.es who are to !me the benefit of the Royal mercy, we shc•ald be better enabled to judge of the 'tile on which this Decree for punishing several thousand persons had been formed__ for to call it an amnesty is a mockery and an insult. It appeats that the Spanish Goveinntent leques:ed the presence of the French troops in Spain after the Ist of July next ensuing, the tern' previouly fixed for their departure ; and to this request the French Govetnnielit has acceded, .on condition that this WM-anal a y nne , ty should be published.

" We consider it our duty to warn all n tvigatars that they cannot be too cautious how they approach coasts of Asia Minor under the pi emit cirtura,tances, in the state of suspicion and excitement in «hick tie Turks now are. The most anxious vigilance is exer cised at every anchoring place, since the Greeks have been in the habit of landing sometimes at one place, sometimes at another."
