COTTON.—The arrivals of Cotton in Ingland for some weeks past have been most extensive ; the mar. kets have, in consequence, become heavy ; the prices a shade lower. The quantity of Cotton lately ar rived here from India will consist of 21,000 bags Bengal', 3600 Surats, and a few Bourbons. No -de claration has however been made by the East India Company. The purchases of Cotton since our last consist of small parcels too trivial to mention, with the exception of about 200 Bengals taken for eapor tation, at 10d. to 100.

By the late aggregate ave rage the duty will remain as at present tor the next three months. _ COFFEE continues to fluctuate greatly. The pub lic sale of Wednesday last went off with much brisk ness—good middling Berbice Coffee realizing 181 s. 6d. fine ordinary Porto Rico, with colour, 1265. 6d. good ordinary 1225. 6d. to 1235. 6d. The public sale of Thursday went off very heavily, and in several in stances a reduction of 2s. per cwt. was submitted to, particularly in middling and good middling Deme rara Coffee. Spices.—he extensive sale at the India House took place last week : Pepper, Company's nearly all withdrawn ; the Cinnamon sold Is. 6d. to 2s. per lb. under the last sale prices; the Cloves at a reduction of 3d. tc, 4d. the Mace a shade higher ; Nutmegs at the advance of 6d. to Bd. Rica.—The sale at the India House, and the other twe public sales on Friday, went off at a depression of 2s. to Ss. per cwt. Ott.—The prices of Oil are considerably lower.— Greenland may be quoted at a decline of 21. Several contracts for cargoes to arrive from this year's fishing are reported from 35/. to 321. NAVAL Sroaas.—There are further arrivals of Rough Turpentine, but we believe no sales are yet effected. Spirits are again considerably lower. In Tar, Pitch, or Rosin, no business doing. HEMP AND FLAX.—The demand for Hemp and Flax has been very limited ; and purchases may be made lower. ROM, BRANDY, ANTI HOLLANDS.—OId Rums can not be stated at any alteration. Brandy is exceedingly heavy. In Geneva no variation. PRICE OF But,xtort.—There was yesterday no quo tation of the prices of Gold. New Dollars were at ss. 6d. and Silver in bars, standard, at ss. si. CORN EXCHANGE, MARS -LANE, MAY 20.—Our Wheat Trade was exceedingly heavy this morning, and pricei were nominal, having very few buyers at Market. The arrival of Foreign Wheat since Mon day has been very considerable, and for which there is no demand.—Barley is full 2s. per qr. cheaper.— Beans are 2s. lower, and the ordinary samples un saleable.--Oats go off slowly at a decline of 2s. per quarter. emir of Hts siAsitsfir's taftsom At LORD CHANCELLOR presented a dill fot varying sincramending certain provisions the lit ratik r,ercise of the Royal Functions, and for chi Csee-andsCoacedy of his Majesty's Perron during his incapacity throdgh indispositions Their Lordship, would recollect, he observed, that by the Act referred to, a Council was appdinted for the assistance of her Majesty, in order to the better care and guardian. ship of his Majesty's royal and sacred Person, and that it had been thought necessary that some of the Members of such Council should be habitually resi dent at Windsor; but they *ere also aware that many of these persons being in official situations, Secs those duties rendered it impossible they could reside} at that place. This circumstance contributed to re . der it advisable, that her Majesty should be author rised to add some persons to her Assistant Council, not exceeding such a number as their Lordships may deem advisable, There was another consideration, from which it would appear, that the Act referred td would require somewhat of revision. In that Act, their Lordships would recollect, there was no previa sion, in the event of her Majesty's ceasing to have the care of his Majesty's person, adequate to remedy the defect, in case of no Parliament being in existence at the time, other than the calling together the pre ceding arliament for the purpose and in the case} of her Majesty so ceasing to have die care and guar dianship, a new Parliament, if called, would have no functions to execute in that case, but the last Patna. ment under the Act would be recurred to, To meet such an important inconvenience, the Bill he should have the honour to submit to their Lordships was calculated ; and it was provided therein, that such new Parliament should have an opportunity of meet+ ing for the particular object. Such was, generally, the effect of the Bill, to which if their Lordships gave the first reading that day, he should move to have it printed, and begged leave to propose the second reading on Thursday, The Noble and Learned Lord then read the title of the Bill, which was to the effect above recited, and moved that it be now read the first time. Earl GREY rose, not to oppose the first reading of the Bill, but to make a few observations, which he felt the proceeding called from him. The first object of the Bill, he conceived, by what fell from the Noble and Lea - ned Lord, to be, to provide for any inconvenience that might arise from there not being a su ffi cient number of persons in her Majesty's Couna cil. On that part of the Bill, perhaps, there could be no difference of opinion. Now, with respect to the power to be granted to the Illustrious Personage} herself, of renewing or appointing the additional Members of the Council, which, as he understood the Noble and Learned Lord, was meant, he con ceived it to be a deviation from the former Act, for which there should be some specific reason assigned, For the rest of the measure, he did not think the course intended to be pursued quite so clear. Nei: ther could he avoid observing, that either with re spect to the time or manner in sOhich the Bill was introduced, it appeared to him a remedy proposed by a kind of side-wind, which rather wanted some explanation. 'The Regency Bill, and that for the care of his Majesty's person during his incapacity, he was well aware, required revision ; and farther, he thought some considerable alterations requisite to be made therein; and the more so, when he consia , dered the unhappy protracted continuance of the King's malady. When he considered the vast accu mulated pressure of the public burthens, every per son, he thought, must feel the necessity of some means being devised to reduce all those unnecessarilt expensive establishments. Those revisions and those reductions, however, he thought, should be made upon some general principle. And though some in• convenience would undoubtedly arise by the demist of the illustrious personage more inunecti.%uar ;.* question, yet certainly they were also bound to attend to and consider the still greater inconvenience which would arise from the contingency, or the case of the Prince Regent's being unable to exercise the high functions of Royalty. Such a contingency should be provided against. And it appeared to him ex traordinary, why at the time that Parliament was called upon to take such a step as that proposed by the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, such a defect should be suffered to continue in the Regency Bill, and which may he regarded as a Second omission of the kind, that Act being closely copied from a pre• ceding one—(hear, hear, hertr.)—He was aware that a proposition was made in another place to rectify it, and he was also aware of its fate. He was surprised, in the present case, at such a proposition being brought forward without a specific reason being assigned, and fully as much at the time of its . being brought forward, now so near the end of a Session —(hear, hear.)—The interval of a dissolution of Par liament was contemplated, I U' that alone did not constitute a sufficient ground ; there Was no positive necessity for a dissolution ; the Parliament had still another year to run ; and he was averse to the adop tion of the measures proposed on the I . lir f the oc casion.
