ercept upon the grrmnd taken by the Honourable Member for Yorkshire, that there was something pe culiar in the soil of this country exclusively favourable to the growth of long wool. In answer to this, he could only refer to the conviction formerly entertained, t h a t the S d anish wool could not be grown in any country hut Spain. Not only, however, had this been disproved, but the Saxon wool was absolutely an im provement upon it. y r .& WORTLEY denied that such good wool could be pro duced in this country u in S.:xony or Spain. Mr. BENETT said, that the denial of the Honourable Member for Yorkshire, had no sort of effect whatever, unless he produced proofs of what he said.—After a few words from Mr. S. WOILTLIT, the clause was Agreed to. The Committee divided upon the Export Clause . : For the flame, 180 1 Against it, 20 I Majority in favour, 160. Sir E. KNATCH BULL moved that the duty, instead of being t yro-pence, should be one penny—The House divided. For the Amendment, 102 I Against it, 83 I Majority, 19. The Clause as amended was agrekd to. The CH A NCEI.I.OII of the EXC . ; H EQUERtben consented to le the Duty on Yarn be the same as the Duty just reduced on Wool.

FAVARII; for Fi nance, JOAQUISI DA Cost* a SILVA; for the Marine, loxacon DA COSTA QUINTELLA. Other changes had taken place in some of the subordinate offices. Our private letter states, that during the time the pa lace was surrounded by the troops of Don Micum, the King at one time was on the point of abdicating, but that in consequence of the spirited remonstrances of Lord SIIREFORD and Sir EDWARD Thostavow, his MAJESTY was induced to retain his power and discoun tenance the measures of the Prince. Our correspondent adds, that the public mind is still in a very feverish state; and by no means so tranquil as is represented.— The intelligence from Lisbon in these papers is to the Sld instant. - The Correio do Porto states, that on the arrival of ROUSTAN, BONAPARTE'S favourite Mameluke, in Lon don, Alderman WOOD offered him the use of his own house for his residence, during his stay in London, but that he declined it. It is added, that the Radicals were continually enquiring of RousTAN respecting ROSA• PARTE, and mere much surprised to find that the Mame luke was not so ardent an admirer of his late master as themselves. rrantfort Papers to the 16th inst. reached ut this morning. The following are extracts: NURRIIBURG, 14AY 12. By letters from the coast of Italy, of the not!) of April, we learn that notice has been given in the ports of the Levant, that the Itussian vessels which arrived there, are under the special protection of the Porte, and that every assistance is to be afforded them. As there are not any Russian Consuls in those ports, the Russian subjects who arrive there, will hive to apply to the 3 strian or French Consuls to obtain the necessary irnatures and certificates. The instructions given on this subject, make no mention of the English Consuls. All this has been arranged at Constantinople, between the Austrian Internuncio, M. Minziacky, and the French Chu rge d'Affaires. _ The appointment of new Russian Consuls and Vice- Consuls in the Turkish ports is deferred for the present. it is not to take place till the diplomatic relations be tw•een the two Empires are perfectly re-established, which depends entirely upon the Divan, because it rests on the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia, and the compliance with the other demands of Russia, respect ing which the Porte bas not yet given a decided de cl.iration. It is affirmed that those Russian ships which come from the Black Sea to proceed to the Archipelago, are not to be subjected to any rigorous search. Dut with respect to those that come from the Mediterranean and the Archipelago to the ports of Turkey, the same system is to be observed a towards the ships of other European nations. M. Minziacky has consented to this for the present, as the Turkish Government would not desist from that point. It is to be observed that all the communications of the Russian Envoy with the Turkish Government are strictly 'confined to mercantile points. All political matters are left out of sight, and will con tinue to be so for a time, as the Porte carefully avoids every discussion relative to the contested point , .. The stipulations of the Treaty of Peace with Persia arc now gradually carrying into execution. The Per sian troops that were in the Pachalick of Bagdad have evacuated it, and withdrawn to the Persian fr ontiers; but it is affirmed that they were previously guilty of various excesses. Plenipotentiaries arc to be appointed by both parties, to regulate the frontiers. All Armenia has been long since evacuated by the Persians. The commercial intercourse between the subjects of the two Empires has likewise recommenced. Many Persian merchants have gone to Turkish ports, especially to Constantinople and Smyrna, to make purchases, and more are expected. The Armenian merchants, on their side, again venture into Persia, where they meet with a good reception. llamburgh Papers to the loch instant, and the Allge meihc Zeitung of the 13th, have been acceived. The last repeats the statement which we extracted from the Paris Journals a fortnight ago, of the blueing up of a powder magazine at Cairo, by which several thousand individuals had lost their lives; and adds, that the plague had broken out in that city. The former men tion the intention of the Saxon Government to follow the example of England and France, and to reduce the interest of the national debt; a measure, the mere sug gestion of which had excited much alarm. It is reported that intelligence has been received from the Gold Coast of the safety of Sir CIIARLES MCA RTITY, Who, it is said, had escaped to one of the neutral tribes, who afforded him protection. We give this report as we have heard it, and shall be happy to find it confirmed. A Cabinet Council assembled th is day, at the Foreign Office. The Duke of YORK and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited his Masers yesterday. The Princess AUGUSTA dined with the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE on Thursday.

Lady FARQUHAR'S route in St. James's -street, last night, was numerously and splendidly attended. At a recent General Meeting of the Commissioners of the Nith Navigation, it was unanimously resolved to present Jung Kau, Esq. late Provost of Dumfries, with a piece of silver plate, for the very handsome manner in which he had at a former Meeting volunteered his services to attend the last Cunvention of Royal Burghs, and endeavour to procure a Grant, to enable the Commissioners to erect a harbour at Dumfries; which grant Pro vost Exam, by his indefatigable exertions obtained, to the extent of 00 sterling. The Duke of WELLINGTON and another Member of Government, have been formed into a Commission by the Treasury, to examine into the much-disputed question between the Govern ment and the East India Company about the Palambang Prize Money. The question is, which party ought to pay the money. The Medical Society of London presented the Futlier-' eithan Gold Medal, for the best Essay on Curvatures and Diseases of the Spine, to H. W. BA srerirt.n, Es q . of Bedford -street, Covent garden, at their Special General Meeting, on the 3d inst.

In the parish of Headcorn upwards of 2000 acres were covered with water on Sunday last, by which the grass-lands have been greatly injured. ANECDOTE OF SIR HENRY HARDINGE —Sir HENRY HA RD/ NGE, who has been recently involved in the affair of the Marquis of ---LrINIXONDERRY and Mr. BATTIER, is an Officer of distinguished bravery, and has lost an arm in the service. When, on the fall of NAPOLEON, the Allies enteted Paris, Sir HENRY HARDINGE was among the British Officers who were stationed in the capital. One evening, while conducting some Ladies home from the theatre, he was grossly insulted by a Prussian Officer. He did not take any notice of the circumstance, ' but next day ascertained the name of the Officer, and found that he was a subaltern. He therefore wrote a challenge to the Commanding Officer of the corps, stating the insult, which was rather national than per sonal, and demanding satisfaction; adding, that he had addressed him as an Officer of equal rank, but should afterwards call on every Officer in the corps, until he descended to the person that had insulted him. The Commanding Officer, struck with astonishment at such seeming temerity, applied to the General of Division, who, equally surprised, equested an audience of Sir HENRI, and, feeling the respect due to a brave Officer, compelled his offending subaltern to make a public apology to Sir H ENRY before the assembled regiment Literary Chronicle. Bow-Srazirr.—lt is a standing observation among the Police that upon all public occasions, such as Drawing-rooms, Levees, &e. they have far more trouble with the livery -servants of the Nobility and Gentry, than they have with the lowest of the rabble. This was scandalously exemplified at the Drawing-room, on Thursday, where the insolence and obstinacy of many a party-coloured " Yy Lord Desire" and " Sir Harry," caused much delay and inconvenience to their employers, and much disgraceful confusion in the very precincts of the Palace. Among the foremost of them was a foot man in the service of Mr. Camac. He was resolv e d not t o yield onejot of his privileges, and he would keep his station beneath the arcade, let other Gentlemen do as they might. The pollee attempted to force him from his position. He opposed force to force. The struggle thus occasioned attracted the attention of Sir Rscu*en BIRNII4 who, advancing to the spot, desired the officers to desist, and asked the footman the name of his master ? " I shan't tell you —see you d—d first!" was the courteous reply. The Magistrate told him who he was, and desired hint to remove peaceably, but he peremptorily refused ; add Sir Mown) then ordered hint to be taken in custody to St. James's watch-house. Yesterday morning, he came to this office, agreeably to his master's undertaking, accom panied by the butler of the family as his special pleader. The butler said his master was so angry at his fellow-servant's conduct, that he had no doubt he would discharge hint from his service, which would be a very great misfortune to him—" and, therefore," quoth Masfer butler, " I hope your Worship will be kind enough to mid= gate the cause."—" Tell me, young man," said Sir RW1110111 ) ad dressing the now humble footman," had you not been drinking ?" - I had only drank one pot of porter and one glass of gin, your Worship," lie replied, " and I am quite ashamed of my misbeha viour."—" That is sufficient," said Sir Run:Ann, " I only wished you to be convinced that you were wrong. You are at liberty to return to your employer, and I beg my compliments may be pre sented to hint, with my personal request that he will not discharge you on this occasion." THE ARMY. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Jossrm CAtaxcaoss, E. C. B. is ordered home from rreland, to take the command of the Eastern District.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENCINEERS.—This Soc i ety celebrated its anniversary dinner yesterday, at the Lon don Coffee-house. The attendance was extremely nu merous, and highly respectable. Mr. TELFORD pre sided. After the preliminary toasts were drank, Mr. PALMER read a short address, containing a description of the origin and progress of the Institution down to the present time; its object being 'the mutual promo tion of science amongst the members of the society.— Several speeches were made in the course of the even ing, none of which excited more applause than those of one or two foreign members present. The whole df the members seemed very much gratified at the rd. gielsive success of the Institution; and one or two al lusions to the present redundancy of capital, with au accompanying hint that the aid of the Gentlemen of this profession would be required to set it afloat, were received with marked good humour. The last piloted report of a Committee of the House of Commons, relating to gas, contains the following gratifying statement :—" The Committee cannot close their Report without expressing their satisfaction that the Public have obtained so great, and so rapidly in creasing a means, of adding to the convenience and comfort of society, as the use of gas, under due ma nagement, must afford; and they are of opinion, that as a means of police, much benefit would be derived from its general introduction to light the streets of this metropolis."

After some conversation between Mr. HORNE, Mr. SIIADWELL, Mr. HART, Mrs HEALD and %%SUDDEN, Mr. HART expressed a hope that his Lordship would at once pronounce judgment on the present motion, wilhont going into all the others. The Loan CHANCELLOR directed an order to be drawn up, empowering Mr. Robertson to pay all cur rent expenses incurred under the direction of the majo rity of the partners, but before any directions could be given as to how far he was to be allowed to incur ex pense, the amount of that expense must be first known.

He descended in a field belong ing to MONTGOMERY, Esq. in the palish of Milton, thirty-fuur miles from Leamington. SPANISH AMNESTY.—It has been pointed out by some of the Fiench Papers as a singular fact, that though the issuing of the Decree of Amnesty on the Ist of May has been announced in the French Minis terialJottrnals---though the Royal Address with which it concludes, and some of the exceptions to its provi sions, have been given, the Decree itself, important as it was represented to be, has not yet been given. The Cobrier Frantais, in adverting to this circumstance, quotes a letter from Tolosa, of the 6th of May, in which nothing is said of this Decree of Amnesty either as issued or expected; but a confident expectation is stated to exist, that the next post from Madrid would bring a Decree for the re-establishment of the Inquisition, the speedy appearance of which the last letters had given them reason to expedt. From the non-publication of the Decree of Amnesty, it is certainly to be inferred, that the document has li!tie of the conciliatory character beyond tl.e name, or that it has been accompanied by some inea-ure calculated to n eutralize its effect. v o i ;: th c az d h i u ti t o k ; h o a f ve th r e et ir el e V istin hi g s Marlie3sit'ytee'snr;:oosntv;gcttas,ciofraosnipatrhdemf: for the Colonial African Corps, and were accordingly conveyed to the Albany Bart.tels for that rurrose..
