Every one knew that the poor were : ,.. e most abject state, and that no time was to be ~.: n:lieving them. Had the Committee done t hing to relieve the poor, he would have voted its re-appointment.

The I distress for money is beyond .any thing which has been felt for a long time. The price given by the Commissioners was 77, and they were served gene rally by the Jobbers. A• report is gener4lly eirrent on 'Change this fore noon, that the long talked of appointment of Mr. I'LLL, to be Chancellor of the Exchequer in the room of Mr. VANSITTART, will certainly take place very Won. A, Corn-factor of long standing and great respecta bility, was announced in Mark-lane this morning, to have stopped payment for a large sum. The intelli gence has,thrown a general gloom over the market. The Committee for taking into consideration the general question of the Poor Laws, was revived last night, on the motion of Mr. S. BOUItNE. This is a subject of vast importance, and deserving of the 'most earnest attention. The laws as they now stand—or at least as they are now administered, are undermining the morals of the people, destroying every good habit, and destroying the property of I.the kingdom. I The subject of the sanguinary nature of our Cri minal. Code, was also brought before Parliament, iffy a speech with which Mr. WILIERMRCE prefaced the presenting of a Petition from the Quakers, praying the Horse to proceed to the revision of the LBWS which impose the punishment of death. On this occasior. Mr. WILBERFORCE deplored, with much feeling, the loss which the House and the country had sustained by the death of Sir SAMCEL ROILLY, whose powerful mind had been turned to this' subject, and whose extensive knowledge would have greatly aided the labours of the Hone on a matter which had also occupied the attention of Mr. PITT. We are happy this question has been brought forward; and. from the reception which It met with from the Ilcuse; with some hope of ultimate triumph. Let us remind the House, and Mr. WILBERFORCE himself, that the necessity now felt for wiping out many of the bloody pages of our Statute Books, ' should operate through the present and all future Sessions as an admonition not hastily to pass new laws appointing fresh bloody sacrifices to the Mam mono-Moloch Deity. Had the last and former Par- Laments, of which many who now occupy seats were Members, been more careful of human life than of that of hares and partridges, the labour they hare now to encounter would have been comparatively light. The facility and haste with which. sangui nary laws have been hitherto unfeelingly hurried through Parliament, is a disgrace to the age and country in which we live. The Paris Pipers of Sunday arrived this morning. The antagonist of the late M. de SAINT MARCEL-. LIN has, in a public notice, declared that politics had nothing to do with the quarrel which led to this un fortunate affair. The Abbe Lamas, appointed by BON APARTE to ' the Bishopric of Liege, and instituted by the POPE, has, it is said, obtained a persiort of 60C•0 francs from the Kings of PRUSSIA. and the NETHERLANDS, on condition of his giving up all pretensions to the Sec. The Abbe PRADT, named to the Archbishopric of Malines, has also, it seems, consented to a similar arrangement between the Court of Brussels and the POPE, and has obtained a pension of 12,000 francs, which is to be paid by the King of the NETHERLANDS. The late Queen of WIRTEMBERG has bequeathed' to the KING, her husband, a million of roubles, and two table services, one of which, in gold, was a pre• sent from St. Petersburgh. She has also left him the' usufruct of two millions of roubles bequeathed to her daughters, until the period of their majority. The Mid; id Gazette of the 26th January, contains a Royal Decree, by which his Majesty, FERDINAND, declares his belief that it is Owing to the foreigners, who have intruded themselves into his South Ame rican Dominions, to the part which they have taken in the insurrection by their intrignes, their personal services, and the warlike succours with which they have supplied his misguided people, that tranquillity has not been ere now re-established in the greater pan of these F ovinces ; and his Majesty, therefore, accord ing to what his Council have informed him are the lawi of nations, proclaims that '",all foreign adven turers,who shall be taken with arms-in their 11. ands in his Majesty's possession beyond seas; under. the Bag of the insurgents, or who shall have furnished them with succours of war, shall be condemned to the punish • ment of death, and all property which they may pos sess in the Spanish dominions be confiscated ; this ptinishment being that reserved by the laws to thole sorts of criminals who are not comprised in the am nesties granted by hk Majesty. ° Of the ir.dividuals implicated in the affair of Va lencia, three are said to have been shot on the :21st ultimo. French 5 per Ccnts. Sunday, 70 Jr. 85 c. Two Hamburgh Mails arrived this Morning, with papers and letters to the 2d instant. The following are extracts: ST. PETERSBURGU, JAYUARY 35. The loan of the Committee of the Sinking rood w•as closed yesterday—sixty-five millions of roubles have b?cn subscribed. This sum in Bauk Asn7grats is to be burnt. The Bank Assignats circulate , l as rape: currency, and no interest w•as paid for them ; but the bonds issued for the above sum pay interest, for the greater part of the loan has been subscrled by foreign capitalists, who of course receive interest from the finance department. STOCKHOLM, JANUARY e 2. To impede smuggling from the neighbouring ports it has been ordered, that no sugar, coffee, tobacco, or wine, or arrack, shall be imported into the king-' dom, in open vessels of any size, or in decked vessels under 25 lusts burden, on pain of forfeiture of vessel and cargo. and a fine of 500 Banco dollars ; and no magazine goods, except salt, corn, and hemp, shall be either exported or imported in such vessels. All those, however, who can prove that their goods were laden within the Sound before the Ist of April next, or without the Sound before the Ist of May next, are excepted. COMMERCIAL. The James 31,-)7:ro, which has arrived at Liverpool from the United States, has brought considerable re mittaa.ces for the Merchants; and what is of little less importance, seve7al extensive orders for the Man chester and Leeds markets, as well as for the general descriptions of Lancashire and Yorkshire goods. There has, in consequence, been considerable bustle during the four last days ; and there is a prospect of an improvement in trade generally. There had, however, been some extensive failures at New York, Philadelphia, and other parts of the United States occasioned chiefly by an over-speculation, and a want of funds to answer present demands. The following is an Account of the number of Persons prosecuted by the Bank of England, for forging Notes of the Bank of England, or for know ingly uttering or possessing forged Notes, from the 10th of April, 1818, to the 28th of January, 1819 : Number of Persons Cteeraur Comic-ern for knowingly uttering forged Bank Notes of .C 5 and upwards - 2 Foe knowingly uttering forged Bank Notes of RI and For knowingly possessing forged Bank Notes of £. and - - vinsards - - : - - - - P For knowingly possessing forged Dank Notes of .41 and /2 84 Number of Persons l'aosr.:l7 ten CssiraLiy for knowingly uttering forged Bank Notes of XS and upwards ; but who were A•.:orirriro - - - - Far knowingly uiterii:g forged Bank Notes of £1 and £2, - but IlcortTreo - - - - For knowingly possessing forged Bank Notes of II and 44 but Axotirri 9 - • Total tvanbcr prntecuted The number of persois Prosecuted by the Officers Of his Majesty's Mint, for counterfeiting the legal Coin of the Realm, or for uttering counterfeit Coin, between the 10th of April, 181 S, and the :26th of January, 1819, has been 273.

The portrait of Mr. KEAN, which appears in the last published Number of this entertaining Mis cellany, is the best executed likeness that we have yet seen of that eminent Actor, and well deserves a-place in the cabinets of the first collectors.

J.C4r.S Emyprrcit, JonN SOW1311.(11, AN 1) OTHERS. The Court having last night declined granting a new trial in this extraordinary case, and having ex pressed at the same time a desire to hear all the ar. guments of Counsel, the Learned Gentlemen rho followed Mr. SEARLE:IT this day, continued their ob servations in support of the case of the defendants.— Mr. SetwiN and Mr. JERFAIE havh;g concluded in reply, the Court proceeded to judgment. • The'CittEe Jusrict observed, that the Court, in ' case they had entertained the least doubt on the pro priety of the verdict given against the defendants, would have granted the motion ; but not feeling the slightest doubt of the correctness of it, they, in the exercise of the duty entrusted to them, refused to send the case down to a new trial. His Lordship added, that for his own part, he from the first to the last had entertained no doubt of the proper convic tion of the parties. Mr. Justic,.. Baum', Mr. Justice HOLROYD, and Mr. Justice BEST, agreed in the observations of the Chief Justice, and held that there was not the least ground for a new trial. The Learned Judges at the tame time declared, the innocent character of Mi ss Glenn which the defendants had endeavoured to vi lify, dearly established. Mr. Seijeant I'ILL, after the deciion of the Court, moved for judgment en the defendants. Ile obser- Ved;tbat be should have moved igainst six persons, but one'of them, Elizabeth GibbOus, had died since the ttial. lie hailed the day in which an amiable and accomplished young Lady had been rescued from perdition, and called for the judgment of the Court, not only as due to her injured feelings--the feelings of her widowed mother, and the distress of her guardian, but for the insult offeied the Court, by an attempt to impose upon the Ju.iges evidence which ceurd only operate in aggravation of the black offence they had committed.. • Mr. Justice BAILEY then sentenced Mrs. Mulraine to two years. imprisoitment ; Mrs. Bowditch and W.
