That it will not be equally successful in the second branch of the Legislature, is very gene rally believed. Indeed we are convinced, that since the measure was found to be breaking down in the House'of Commons, the most sanguine advocates of the Catholic measure despair of the Bill being carried this Session. That the cause has gained advocates, both within and without the Houses *of Parliament, of late years, is unquestionable; and yet .the numerous petitions that have been presented to Parliament, against all fur ther concessions to the Roman Catholics, prove that there is a large body of the English people who view the measure with apprehension. Indeed, we believe the petitions would have been much more numerous, had not the continued rejection of the measure in every Parliament, where it has been discussed for nearly the last thirty years; inspired a confidence in its opponents that there was no probability of its becoming the law of the land. We have as much respect as any person can have for the decision of the House of Commons, but we will not admit that, in every question, they represent the opi nions of the great body of the people ; and we believe the stoutest advocates for their decisions will not con tend that, even on the subject of the Corn Laws, the opinions of individuals, in and out of Parliament, are the same. We deprecate, too, all arraying of one branch of the Legislature against the other, as to the relative value of their decisions, since the Censtitittion recognizes their equality ; and we believe, in the history of .public liberty in this country, it will be found to , have been as sturdily maintained in the Upper as in the Lower llouse of Parliament • It is thought by some that the Roni2n Catholic Re lief Bill will occupy more than one night's discussion, and as the Lords are specially summoned, the attendance is expected to be numerous. There are, we believe, including the Royal Dukes, 384 Peers. Many,lowever, are absent, including the Dukes of CritnEscs, CUM BERLAND, and CAMBRIDGE, but as it is not unusual for Peers to leave proxies, it is liOly .that the subject will be decided by as large a number as ever voted on any question. That it will be very fairly met and discussed we are certain, and whatever may bt'lle decision, we trust ill parties will feel convinced that in this respect the measure has had justice done to it. This forenoon we the Allgerireine Zeitung to - the . 10th inst. It contains no inteligence from Greece , but gives the following account of the Pro:estant Bury. . mg-ground, at Rome. ROME, APRIL 21. The subscriptiOns, whi h were co nmeneed in 1814 fo, the tepAration and security of the burying gtcund Christians, not of the Illman Communion, have" hitherto brought in the sum of 2,627 scudi, 60 baj. and after obtaining the assent of the Roman Govern ment, and making a contract in writing with the Roman Senate, as grand landlord, the company formed for the purpose, has applied the money in the following manner: a trench eight feet broad and as many deep, round the old building ground, was lined and paved with bricks, and provided with a parapet, and the necessary drains. The surface of the ground was made as level as pos sible, the decayed and damaged monuments repaired, and those graves which had no monuments, provided with a Cross, and the name of the deceased, and the day of his death. Some relics of antiquity, found in digging the trench, were preserved as much as possible, and pointed out and explained by inscriptions. The new burying-ground, assigned by Pius VII. and sur rounded by a wall, at the expense of the Government, was laid out with walks, terraces, and plantations, and a shed built to keep the tools, and to afford temporary shelter in bad weather. Upon finally balancing the accounts 22d February, 1825, there was an over plus of 253 sc. 20 11.1 j. An agreement has been made with the guardian of the Pyramid, who lives close by, that he shall receive 60 scudi annually for taking care of the monuments and cleaning and attending to the turf and the plantations. This sum is provided for three or four years by the overplus abovementioned; but it were to be wished that this constant expense might be provided for by the interest of a capital set apart for the purpose. The Society hopes that this plice, which must be dear and sacred to so many families, and the care of preserving and adorning it, will continue to enjoy the support of the Christian communities, for whose fellow-believers it is destined. We have received the French Papers of Friday and Saturday. Theycontain no political news. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, our Ambassador Extraordinary, was introduced at the Tuileries with gre4t stite on Thursday. Three of , the Royal carriages, drawn by eight horses, and filled with Officers of the Court, pro- ceeded to his Grace's hotel, and returned, followed by three other carriages, drawn by six horses, in which were the Duke and his suite. The Parisians admired the richness and elegance of his Grace's equipage. The Kam received his Grace on the throne, surrounded with his Officers of State. The following is the account of this presentation, given in the Moniteur: Continental Provincial l'ortable PARTS, MAY 14. To-day, after Mass, his Excellency the Duke of Northumberland, Ambassador Extraordinary from his Britannic Majesty to be present at the King's Corona tion, was presented to his Majesty and the Royal Family in a public audience. The Duke of Rigusz, Major-General of the Royal Gtiard, whom his Majesty had appointed to accompany the Ambassador, .Biron Lalive and M. de lens, hay ;ng iepaired to his Excellency's hotel, conducted him to the. Tuileries in the Royal carriages.. The Marquis Dieux Breze, Grand Master of the Ce remonies of France, Marquis de Rochemore, Master of the Ceremonies, and Baron Saint Felix and Viscount de Geslin, received.theAmbassador at the foot of the grand staircase, and accompanied him to the audience: The Marquis de Riviere, Captain of the Gardes du Corps, received his Excellency at the door of the apart ment of the Gardes,who were under arms. 'the King was on his throne, and the Dauphin on his right hand, and on his left the Duke of Orleans, and the Duke of Bourbon, Prince of Conde, and surrounded by the great Officers of the Crown. At the entrance of the Ambassador,the King rose, and his Excellency having been presented to the King by Baron Lalive, complimented his Majesty in these terms: "`Sza—l have the honour to appear before your Majesty, charged with the felicitations from the King my master, on the approach Of your Majesty's Coronation. " In expressing the most ardent wishes for the prosperity of your Majesty, the King nty master, is equally induced by his generous principles, and the cherished remembrance of a private friendship. " I have also the orders of my King to express to your Majesty the wish which he constantly feels for the maintenance °kite good understanding which exists between the two Nations, and which is as essential to their mutual interests as to the general happiness of mankind." After his compliment the Ambassador presented his credentials to the King, who gave them to 'Baron de Damas, Minister for Foreign Affairs. The King then replied : 4 ' M. L'Ausassaitue-1 receive with tite more pleasure the expression of the sentiments which you address to me in the name of his fititannk •Majesty, as they are perfectly in unison with my own. I - shall always remember with gratitude the proors of friendship which he gave me in times of misfortune. I hope that uo circumstance, noevent, will ever trouble the union which 'ought to prevail betieentwo nations made to esteem and love each other." The audiences of the King and the - Royal Family being finished, his Excellency was conducted back to the saloon of the Ambassadors, and thence to his Hotel, with the same, ceremonies as were observed in conduct ing'-him *to the audience. At two, o'clock, the King gave k public audience to Sidi Mahmotid, Envoy of jhe - Bey, of Tuni - t, who complimOtid 'his Majesty on his accession, and- de iivereditis credentials: The same day the British Am• bassadpi Exttiordinary dined in the apirtments t f the Dauphin . , a€ table of 45 covers. . . _WHITEHALL, MAT 11.—The KING has been pleased to direCt Letters Patent to he passed under the Great Seal of that part of the United Kingdom of Grcat Britain and Ireland,callvd Ire land, giantinito the Right Bon.

GEORG :3 : HOSPITAL. According to notice in the Public Prints, this Meetin was held on Friday last, at Willis's Rooms, in Kin s. street, St. James's, to take into• consideration the r... building of St. George's Hospital, his Royal Ilighne s the Duke of YORK in the Chair, supported by the Bishop of LONDON, the Earl FITZWILLIAM, and Lord GWYDYR. The minutes of the last Hospital Board were read, in which it was resolved to state to the public the necessity for a new Hospital, to answer the increas ing applications of patients. After-some very pertinent observations by his Royal Highness, he called ripon Dr. PEARSON to state the present situation of the Hospitak Dr.PeaRSON apologized for the due performance of vie: a duty, not being aware that the honour would te As signed to him. First,—He represented that, owing . tn the increased and increasing numbers of applicants, the Hospital was quite inadequate to the reception of a large preportioir of them ; and heart-rending scenes were every weekly Board-day witnessed by the Members of the Board,w!as were obliged to shut theh doors against many objects i:t great distress. Secondly,—The building was now in a decaying condition. It was not originally constructed for an Hospital ; and, in the present state of the Medical art, is found perfectly deficient in two essential tecprisites, for comforts and recoveries—namely, ventilation, and at the same time due temperature , . On these topics the Doctor begged to have permission to explain, as briefly as possible. Ventilation could, indeed, always be obtained, but not in general beneficially; for, al though fresh air might be adm;tted, the injurious effects, from the currents of air of unequal temperature, often more than countervailed its advantages. It was only in the present times that science had instructed us in the means of effectual ventilation, without the injurioas effects of currents of air, by the art of producing the requited temperatures. Few Hospitals possess these means, having been constructed anterior to the invert tion of that great benefactor of the human race, Mr. Strutt, and the subsequent improvements of his pupil, Mr. Sylvester, Mr.. Tredgold, and others. This is no Utopian scheme. It has been exemplified in the Darby Hospital, built under the direction of Mr. Strutt, and, subsequently, in some large buildings, by Sylvester and others. It would be unseasonable, Dr. Pearson observed, to enter into a particular de scription of the constructions for pr educing at once ven tilation and due temperatures ; and stir', more so, cf the maladies benefltted by then* ; but he could not re sist the opportunity of naming two classes— Pirlmorrary Diseases, and a large proportion of Surgical Cases, as, he had authority to say,, had been exemplified by the extraordinary success in the Derby Hospital. To pos sess these advantages, there must be an entirely ne'.v construction of St. George's Hospital. Thirdly,—Among other benefits of a new duly constructed Hospital, would be the discontinuance of grates with fires, except a few very small ones, not for the warming of rooms, but for certain useful purpeses in the administration of Medicines, and in the prepay a tion of diet. A consequence of these measures will be the removal of all danger from fires ; t which may be added, a prodigious saving of the cost of fuel. Fourthly,—Although it is a minor object, and, it is feared, by some rosy- de .contidcred as trivial, Dr. Pearson could not omit this opportunity of noticing that we might set the example of removing those de formities from our otherwise well•furmed houses, 'viz. chiarnies, quite unnecessary, and the remains of darker ages,by which our magnificent Metropolis is disfigured. Chimnies are a discredit in the eyes of all persons of taste, as all their uses may be obtained by a single out let for smoke, which outlet may bc so constructed as to be unseen, or even rendered of an ornamental form, in which any number of flues may terminate in one outlet. In conclusion, the speaker expressed ardently his ex hortation that the Patrons and, Supporters of the great work in contemplation, would not let the favourable moment pass by of its executiOn, but bring it into prac tice. The tide in its favour seems to be set in; and we must take the current while it serves; for, in future, such advantageous prospects may not again occur, for the comfort and recovery of thousands now living, and safety to millions in after ages. Sir EVERARD HOME next addressed his Royal High ' nes% confirming much of the former Speaker's observa. tions; and also very impressively descanting on the ad vantageous site, unparalleled for benefits, and un equalled for beauty of prospects. Indeed he displayed the superiority of the physical advantages in so . attrac- Live a manner, as to excite Lord MILTON to make some interesting observa tions, supporting Sir Everard Home, whom he hoped, he said, he might call his valuable friend. His Lord ship earnestly opposed a proposal which had been circu lated, of exchanging the present beautilul and precious site of the hospital for another situation, for a consi derable pecuniary consideration, by which the poor would be deprived' of one of their greatest blessings, bequeathed by the beneficence of their forefathers. Such a step, he trusted, would never be taken. Is this excellent feeling his Lordship was seconded by kris venerable and revered father, the Earl Fitzwilliam. Drs YOUNG suggested, that lie hoped due care would be taken for providing a temporary accommodation for the patients, clurin the construction of the intended new edifice, which prudent suggestion was duly ap pteciated by,the meeting. The Bishop of LONDON excited a great sensation in the Assembly by the manifestation of his benevolent disposition for the prospetity of Sr. George's Hospital. Alluding to some steps taken for the successful execu tion of the design of the new building, his Lordship very handsomely gave his testimony to thr great ability and zeal of the Physicians and Surgeons, by which t; e Institution had an ived at its present high eminence ;,ac •did also Lord GWYDYII, in terms of paerencv given by patients for a3mission into this Charity. Mr. FULLER, the originator of the meas•lre for the re-construction in question, and also a most zealous, able, and indefatigable Governor, gave A very instruc• tine and entertaining history of the former state and progress of the Institution; and, with great propriety', pointed out many of its existing defects and inefiic'ency. Without this Gentleman's aid and exertions petit tips nothing would have been done for a long time to come. The Meeting did not break up with3u the irost fe.- vid demonstrations of pleasure for the condescensio oi his Royal Highness, and his patience in hearing the t'if &rent Speakers, and expressed their s.nse of gi st .Lists tor his effectual support. The Earl Furow ILLIAM_ proposed that a subscriy should immediately be set on foot ; and, a though a 4. i'AL proportion of the cornpsny had previously left the co ;I, nearly two thous Ind poUnds were instantly subsc i . .
