Mr. KENNEDY moved the Order of the Day for the House reolvitig itself into a Committee on the above Bill. Mr. ESTCOURT wished the measure to be post reed WWI after AS Select Committee, which had been a pp a iered on the motion of a Noble Lord (Stanley) on the low !elating to the passing of Irish vagrants had made their report. As the law now stood, an Irishman residing in Scotland for three years had a claim for a settlement; but under this Bill a much longer time was required. There was no reciprocity in the measure ; it was entirely in favour of Scotland, and against Eng land Now he thought that no Bill ought to be passed until some general principle that would include the entire Empire were agreed on. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving, " That the committal of the Bill he postponed to this day six weeks." Mr. H. GRATTAN seconded the motion. The ouse ought, in his opinion, to proceed on a general principle, and not with reference to any particular part of the empire. If this Bill were passed, it would have the effect, ten or eleven years hence, of excluding all Irish labourers from Scotland. Mr. KENNEDY denied that any such intention existed as that of excluding the Irish from Scotland. The measure was merely meant as a slight degree of defence against the overburdening the population of Scotland with the support of those individuals. There was, besides this, attached to the Bill, an advantage of Mu trifling or small nature—namely, that of giving an opportunity to those persons to assume a stationary, and not an emigratory character; because those who settled themselves in one past of the country, and there remained, would become as good inhabitants as the Others; but when they roamed over all the country without a home, they would not possess the same purity of character. As to the Committee moved for by the Noble Lord (Stanley) be could not see, as its labours were directed to a specific point connected with this country, how the Report of that Committee could in any way affect his proposition. - Mr. S. RICE was anxious that the Bill should be carried into immediate effect, and his Hon. Friend (Mr. Kennedy) well knew that if he conceived that it would any manner injure Ireland, so far from supporting his measure, he would give it all the opposition in his power. Mr. PEEL thought it would be prudent to postpone the consideration of this measure. He did not wish it I to be postponed for an indefinite time; he wished to throw no ithpediments in tie way of the Bill; but be did wish it to be postponed until it should be seen what bearing it had upon a measure somewhat similar with respect to Scotland, which was about to be proposed. Mr. KENNEDY was perfectly ready to acquiesce in the proposal of the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Ripht Hon. Gentleman would not, perhaps, object to the Bill being new committed pro, forma, in order that the blanks might be filled up. If it were then postponed until the 2sl of May, he supposed that the end of the Right lion. Gentleman wouid be answered. The House then went into a Committee on the Bill, and the Be. port was ordered to be taken into consideration on the 2d of May. SCOTCH ♦A4%ANT ACT. The LORD ADVOCATE said, that as the t me sub jects were so much connected, it would be right to pursue the same course, and have it committed pro forma. This was agreed to—the Bill went through the Committee, and was ordered to be further considered on the 2d of May, atter a few words from Sir J. NAHAST, Lord ALTRI:IP. Mr. MOWN, Sir JOHN WiLOTTESter, Sir E. KNATCHNULL, and Mr. Fsmousou. Su J.IVROTTESLEY moved, that it be an instruc tion to the Committee appointed tl inquire into the subject of pass ing Irish Vagrants, to iuquire into the passing of Scotch Vagrants also.—Agreed to. WATER OW THE METROPOLIS. HOBHOUSE rose t-.) put a question to the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, respecting the Commission appointed, upon the motion of his Hon. Colleague last year, to inquire into the mode and manner in which the Metropolis was supplied with Water. He wished to know what progress they had made, and to suggest that the terms of the Commission enlarged, so that in case of their finding the supply deficient or bad, they might be empowered to propose the necessary remedies. Mr. PEEL said, that this commission was appointed under a predecessor of his, Mr. Sturges Bourne. He had been applied to, to know it he would sanction the taking of surveys and levels, and he had replied that he was anxious to fulfil to the utmost the intention of Parliament. Upon a reference to what the House had resolved upon, it appeared that the commission was authorised to inquire into the quantity, the quality, and salubrity of the water. The fairest course, as it seemed to him (Mr. Peel) would be to move for a copy of the instructions contained in the commission, and of the correspondence between the Commis sioners, and the Office of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. He was glad that the subject hid been mentioned, because if it should appear ex pedient to giire new powers to the commission, there was still plenty of time fur that purpose; but he still thought that the duty of taking levels and employing, engineers, with . a view to any amendment of the supply, should be left to the private companies which would no doubt arise if the present system was found inefficient, and not undertaker by the public. Of this he was cer tain, that if the water at present used was proved to be insalubrious, and that a supply from some different source was requited, the metropolis had spirit enough, and opulence enough, to provide that supply ; and that the duty of procuring it would be much better left to personal speculation than attempted by the Government. The office already intrusted to the commission was that of ascertaining the quality of the several descriptions of water furnished to the town, with the charges and other circumstances of the various companies; if the House thought it right to add to those instructions any new powers, there was still the opportunity to do it. Mr. HOBHOUSE entirely concurred with the Right Honourable Gentleman that the new Companies should be left to take the new levels if requisite. Tire motion was then agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in the Life Annuities Repeal Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered for a second reading on Monday next. LICENSING OF PUBLIC-HOUSES. Mr. EsTcoultT, after accounting for the delay which his measure on this subject had experienced, by reference to the dissolution of the last Parliament, and the frequent ministerial changes which had occurred in the course of the present, said, that at so advanced an Lour of tho night, and so thin a state of the House, he would not enter into any discussion upon the principles of his Bill. In all that concerned the detail, he was most devply indebted to tie exertions of the Committee above stalls; and he would briefly trouble the House with a summary of the changes which were to be effected by the measure. In the first place, an extension of the time allowed for demanding licences by pub licans was provided : the Magistrates were prohibited how concluding the whole of the licencing business in any one particular day, and were bound to hold a second court on another day, to which any part i e s might resort who had missed their opportunity on the preceding. A second alteration was to fix a particular time and form for the transferof licences from one party to another; so that those arrangements might be made with regu larity, and subject to the public eye. A third point— and one, he thought, of some importance—was, that in certain jurisdictions, where the Magistracy %sits confined to a very small number, the Magistrates of the next county or riding should be associated for the purposes of licensing. A fourth clause ex• tended the principle of exclusion where Magistrates might be suspected of any interest in the business of licensing. Another proposition was, to waive the necessity of publicans obtaining certificates before they applied for licences, and finding sureties for maintain ing order in their houses, both which impositions had been found vexatious to the parties, and of no security to the public. The last point, and one which he trusted the House would approve, was, that in every case an appeal was to be allowed against an act of the magis• trates ; and to ensure the best possible decision, that appeal was to be in every cave to the county at large. The Honourable Member concluded by stating, that it was a farther object of his measure to consolidate under one Act all the Statutes relative to public-houses. At present, he only desired that the Bill should be read a first and I econd time, and committed pro forma, in order that it might be printed, and in the hands of Magis trates and Members, and the discussion on it would be taken after Easter. Mr. HOBHOUSE said, that he had been a member of the Committee above stairs upon the Bill, and that he thought the House and the country were much in debted to the Hon. Member opposite for his exertions. The Hill was then read a first and second time. ..... „ Dlr. 11.

The Noble Marquis en:ered at large into the Petition, which watt, on his motion, read at length.—The Army and Marine Mutiny Bills were read a second time. lo the Commons, the Test and Corporation Repeal Bill was read a second time pro forma, the debate being postponed to the commitment of the Bill, on Tuesday next, when Mr. Secretary Pest. will state his opinion fully upon the sub ject. The further consideration of the Report of the East Retford Disfranchisement Bill was postponed to Friday next. —The Penryn Disfranchisement Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed en Tuesday next.—Tne Co •ent Garden Improvement Bill was read a first time.—Mr. WILLIAM Ssiru obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable the proprietors of the Thames Tunnel to raise a further som for the proseCution of that undertaking.—Mr. GRATTAN presented a peti tion from Dublin, praying that some provision should be made for the Irish poor.—General GASCOTKL thought this a far more itn pot taut subject than the Catholic Claims. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, he had already sufficient to attend to. but if any Gentleniau would move for a Committee on the subject, he would give it his support. Mr. W. Ssivrn presented a petition from the Associate Synod (of Scotch . Dissenters), against the Corporation and Test Acts.— Mr. Encouar brought in his Bill fur amending the Licensing Act. The alterations which he proposes to effect are not numerous, but they are important, because they are amendments, and have a • tendency to place the Licensed Victualler, somewhat more than be has hitherto been, on the same footing as other tradesmen. We received last night the French Papers of Thurs day; and early this morning an extractdinary express brought the Gazette de France dated yesterday : extracts from these Papers appear in a preceding column. They confirm all the accounts previously received of the hostile intentions of Russia against Turkey ; indeed, they positively state, that the Emperor NICHOLAS had considered the Turkish Manifesto as a decla ration of war, in consequence of which the Russian army were to pass the Pruth, and take up a posi. ion in the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia.— The passage of the Pi uth being accomplished, a hope is entertained that the Porte will then consider more attentively the evidence of the danger, and the necessity of its submission. Other grounds of complaint on the part cf Russia against Turkey, in addition to the docu ment above alluded to, are the shutting of the Bosphorus against navigation; that the latter Power is implicated in the rupture of the l'reaty which Russia was on the point of concluding with Persia ; and that she has failed in fulfilling the Treaty of Ackerrnann. We also give the Declaration of the Greek Govern ment relative to the future boundaries of Greece. The independent and moderate spirit which this document breathes, will recommend it to the attention of our Readers. From Toulon it is stated, that several ships, fully provisioned, ate ready to sail from that port, and a dispatch from the Minister of War bad ordered the Commanders of several Regiments of the Line to hold themselves in readiness to embolic ; the expedition was supposed to be bound for the Morea. A Brazil Mail was received this morning, bringing Papers and letters to the 18th January. The letters state that a law has been parsed in Rio Janeiro, per• mitting the coasting trade of the Brazils to be carried on by neutral vessels during the continuance of the war We may infer from this, that the r u - nerous captures made by the private Teaselled war under the Buenos Ayres flag i air occasioned considerable sufferings in the most irapirtant branch of the commerce of that country. It was s.id at Rio that the Brazilian Com modore, TAYLOR, has been appointed to the command of the River Plate. The following is the only article in the Diario worthy of notice : RIO DE JANEIRO, JAN. 14. The Dierio Purninense oontains an official article from the De partment of Finance, which states that experience having shoo n some practical inconveniences in the execution of some of the articles of the Portaria, of the 19th April, 1826, which regulates in a great measure the daily proceedings at the Custom House in this city, and his Majesty the Emperor desiring to adopt other measutes, which, without embarrassing commerce, which he greatly desires to promote, may prevent injury to the national revenue, has been pleased to order a variety of new regulations, tending to promote this object.—Diario Flunsinense to Jan 18. Frankfort Papers to the 9i!) inst. have also been re• ceived. The following are extracts: FRANKFORT, NlAacii 7. The STAR of the 26th February states tbat Sir Wm. Knighton , his Majesty's Physician, had set oat, by the King's order, to Hano ver, to attend the Dike of Cambridge, who was seriously ill. Not only do the accounts from Hanover, to the sth of March, make no mention of this illness, but we know that on the 24th of February, the anniversary of his Royal Highness's birth-day, the Prince was at the Theatre, with the Dachess of Cambridge and Princess Louisa of Hesse. On the 25th the Duchess of Cambridge gave him an elegant fire on the occasion : pantomimes, &c. were repre sented, and there was afterwards a ball and supper. STUTGARD, ALactt 6. The official Gazette publishes a declaration by the Minister of Fo reign Affairs, authorised by his Majesty, to the effect that the Prus sian Government having given the assurance, that, conformably to the 18th Article of the Act of Confederation, a general law shall he adopted for the protection of the rights of authors and pub lishers against literary piracy, the laws which already exist in the whole Prussian Monarchy for the protection of Prussian authors and publishers, shall henceforth be applied to publishers of the king dom of Wirtemburg, whose rights shall be equally protected by Prussian laws. His Majesty has decided that Prussian publishers shall enjoy the same protection in the kingdom of Wirtemburg.— Frankfort Papers, March 8. The observations of Mr. Secretary PeEr., in answer to the motion made last night by Mr. Ilurac for a Third Committee on the State of Crime, were in ac cordance with what we said yesterday on this subject Mr. PEEL referred the lion. Member for Aberdeen to that part of the Emigration Report which relates to the increase of paupers in Great Britain, caused directly by the influx of Irish labourers. Subscriptions, it seem•, are now actually raised in Ireland for the removal of the inhabitants to England in bodies of about lorry at a time, so that their arrival may not excite jealousy. The Irish have, therefore, decided the question of Emigrat' on for themselves; migrate they will and must; but it is surely better to place them in a land where they may be enabled to provide for their wants, and get even rich in time, than to admit them to mingle with out own poor, who will benefit neither in morals nor means of subsistence by such a union with their Irish brethren. Prince LIRVEN, tl.e Russian Ambassador, had an audience of his'll.to /MTV yesterday. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Princess Aucusw. - yesterday, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Royal sisters afterwards took an airing together.

There are persons who are sane nine enough to anti cipate that the labours of the Finance Committee will produce an actual saving in our expenditure of three millions per annum. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.— For the intended per formance of the Messiah, was sybstituted last night at this Theatre a selection, consisting almost entirely of modern music, from the works of the most celebrated German and Italian composers.— Madame PASTA; Mademoiselle BRAMBILLA, Miss Love, Miss GRANT, and Miss CAWSR; Messrs. BRAIIAIN, E. TAYLOR, HORN cams, and Tiaazv, were thesprincipal vocal performers. The house was very well attended. The sale of York House is understood now to be finally settled. The purchaser is the Marquis of Sea rroan, said to be at the price of 75,0001. The p . rocredings as to the sale and pur chase of this house have been dormant fur some months past, during which time the work performed has been measured. The cause of the delay in the completion of the treaty is undo 'stood to have been the perfecting of the title to the ground from his Majesty's Com missioners fur the Managing the Wouds.and Forests, as well as the Noble Marquis wishing for the enlargement t f his garden ground, which we understand has been granted, by adding the space of the road which was, the carriage road in St. James's Park to the extent of the garden ground already enclosed. The high wall in the Stable-yard, enclosing the garden, to be taken down, and a dwarf wall, Pith iron tails at the top, erected in its stead, enclosing three feet of the Stable-yard in the garden. The Marquis and Marchioness have beta constant visitors to the premises for some weeks past, which are to undergo considerable alterations, to make them suitable for the residence of the Marquis and Marchioness. The title and everything having been arranged to complete the purchase of the house and land attached to it, to the satisfaction of the Marquis, about fifty men were set to work on the premises a few days since, to complete the building with all possible speed. MEDICO-BOTANICAL SOCIETY.—Last night a meeting of this Society was held at the Committee Rooms, 32, Sackville street, Sir James APGanaos K. C.B. in the Chair. Amongst the Members present, we noti ced his Grace the Duke of SOSITRSET, the Right Hun. the Earl of Seatimovz, his Excellency Count de la GARD!, Sir ALNIAND/LR JOHNSTONI, &c. The minutes of last Meeting having been read and confirmed, a number of presents connected with Botany were iatroduced to the notice of the Mem bers. and were animadverted upon seriatim in a very able manner, by Mr. FROST, the Society's Botanical Professor. Thanks having been voted to the various donors, a ballot for new members was gone into ; amongst those elected were the Emperors of AUSTRIA and BRAZIL. William Dyon and his Son, who were re-apprehended on Saturday last, underwent a anal examination on Thursday, at Hawtry, and were committed to York Castle, scecused of having murdered their unfortunate relative, Mr. Joust pros- Two venerable lovers, each on the- farther side of threescore years aad ten, were lately married at Elgin, in Scotland.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK —Advices were yesterday received at the Navy Office, Somerset [louse, of the loss of the transport Amelia, and that all on hoard, eighty persons, had perished.— The intelligence came by express front the Agents to the Navy Board; and the grief occasioned thereby WAS of the most pain ful description, as may be supposed from the melancholy fact of several very young and prohnsing men, the sons of Gentlemen, connected with the Navy Office, being on board when the vessel was lost. It appears that the Amelia left the River a very short time ago, with pastengenand goods, to call at Gibraltar. She was overtaken by a dteadlul hurricane when she arrived off Gibraltar, and notwithstanding all the thOrts of the Commander, who is stated to be a man of great skill; the vessel was di iven upon the rocks, and no assistance could be rendered from the shore, owing to the dreadful gale. EDINBURGH, MARCH 12. 1.-tters from Greenock stave the amount of the•tob bet), of the Bank there, on Sunday last, to be . so Ligh at It is singular that no account of the robbery reached-kdinburgh till Tuesday morning. On Moeday a little ruddy-faced man, having an English accent, got Greenock bank notes, to the amount of 3,0001. exchanged with the different Banks in Edinburgh and Leith. That these were part of the stolen property is beyond all doubt. It is tolerably well ascertainetk that the rob. bets, supposed to be three in number, left this citrtwo of them on Monday evening, and cne of them oat Tuesday morning. The Edinburgh and l.cith Police, during the whole of Tuesday, made the most extra..rdinary exertions to discover the offenders, but, of course, unavailingly. I lad infortmtion been forwarded to them with ordinary dispatch, after the dizcovery of the robbery, it is almost certain that some of the robbers would have been secured either here or in Leith. The depredators. arrived at Doncaster early on Tuesday morn ing, in a chaise and four. They had the precaution to stop the chaise at the Volunteer Inn, near the entrance into Doncaster, from the York toad ; and having discharged the drivers, went off by a back way through the church yard. They were afterwards traced to a public-house, at Balby, where they got upon the Doncaster coach, then, passing.to Sheffield, where they arrivs d at half-past eight in the morning. From' this place, on inquiry; we find they departed by the Hope coach, which was about starting, for Nottingham: but whenrthey got to Chesterfield, they told the coachman and guard that they were quite strangers in that part of the country, and that they had just found out they were going a wrong road. They then left the coach, and we understand from thence they pursued their way towardi MatleCk. Thi. is as far as they have been traced at present. Two clerks from the Greenock Bluth, ill pursuilef the robbers, and to- stop payment of the Bills io London,. passed through Doncaster in about sixteen hours after the thieves arrived there; but it appears that at Doncaster the cleiks lost the route of the robbers, for no inquiry, that we know of, has been Made after them on this road.—bluffield Cuttrant. The Greenock Bank, it may be necessary to state to the &sant reader, occupies the lower Bohr in one of the wings of the Ex.f change Buildings, which are situated in almost the most ceutral part of the town. The Coffee-roots occupies the other' wing,_and the Tontine Hotel is immediately opposite ; yet, strange to say.'he tar as can be conjectured, the robbery must have been committed between the hours of tight and nine in the morning. The porter of the Bank, who sleeps in it, arose on Sunday moiling about seven o'clock, and was not there again till his usual time of going to rest at night; but, although the robbery had beets committed previous to that time, every thing had been I Oft in such a state, that no suspicion leas excited. It now appears, however, that three fellows of doubtful aspect were seen walkingin front of the Exchange Buildings early in the morning, and a person answering the description of one of these was in the Coffer-roost about eight o'clock, inspecting the newspaper files. and affecting to be very anxious after the notice of the death of sonic individual ; in his pretended search, he engaged the keeper of the room, as it now obviously appears, fur the purpose of previ tilting him from return ing to the bar, the passage • to which is common with that to the I ank ; and at this 'critical' juncture there is little doubt his con. federates werecarrying away their spoil. Skeleton keys gave them ready admission, not ouly to the Batik apartments, but also to one of the places where the cash was deposited, and of both the notes and gold found therein, they made ,p complete sweep—to what amount we have not yet ascertained: but have no doubt it must have been very considerable: they did not burden themselves with silver. In one of the locks they left a skeleton key. if It is understood, that the Committee appointed to take into .consideration the state of the Metropolitan Police, will make its Report immediately atter the Easter Recess.
