hitherto been successful in putting down the spirit of co mbination. Having this experience of its benefits, then, cught it not to be continued, at least until an oppor pmity should he afforded of examining into some other plan, if any could be devised, of preventing a recur- ' rence of the outrages which could alone justify it ? Tl..e measure had the almost universal approbation of duos ,: who were best acquainted with Ireland and its , int?re , ts. He should regret if the question of the Cit. fliOhe claims were to be mixed up with this subject, u pon which he was sure that it had no influence what ever. His own opinion on those claims was too well Lao wn to need there to be repeated. Without entering, t:to the differences to which the conflicting sentiments on religious subjects gave birth in Ireland, he was s atisiie.l tl, at Roman Catholic emancipation alone could nut, if it were to take place to-morrow, in any de free re:nedy the evils which the measure b e f ore t h e louse s•iught to abate—( firer, hear). He eked for this jaw to protect the persons and property of the peace. blc lug al inhabitants of I r ela n d. lie asked for it t o protect, not merely the landlord, but to enable the eojoy his small possessions is peace. He asked it, not fa- the purpose of giving to the Govern rent of Leland any tyrannical authority, that was 11 . )t his wish: the evidence before the Committee would c l e arly shew, that it was not the wish of the mein to increase the terror of the law in that conntiv ; but he asked for this measure in the certain cotivic:io:l that it would not be safe to allow Leland to remain during the ensuing winter w ithuut such a measur e. Mr. ABERCROMBY said, -notwithstandin,i ; that he' bad the highest respect lOr some of the Committee, he had de misfortune to disagree with them in the Re v ort before the House. The wounds upon which the Act bid keen recommended, were tame of necessity and ex treme urgency. And if he looked to that Report, he, sew the most strongly expressed opinion of i.s necessity f : tri, persons for whom he had the highest respect as 31.tistretes. Put when he was called upon to suspend the liberties ef so Inge a body of people, and saw the ',Assn's upon which those opinions were founded, and that they contradicted the reetence, he felt it his they to pause before he voted fur its adoption. What wa; the result of their evidence as to the eventual effect of t!,e,law ? Tney stated that it left the people with the same if not a greater disposition to disturbance. In fact, it amy went to suppress the evil by force for the mo meat, and left its causes untouched or aggravated. Many persons were committed by Magistrates, and often set at liberty after six weeks' imprisonment, with out any charge being pursued against them. The con sequence was, that these people all became disaffected to the Government, and then this Act was again called fir, because tt.ey did not love amid venerate the laws. In the County of Cot k theme were above 400 committals under the Act, and only 74 were afterwards brought to By the evidence of M-. Serjeant Lloyd it ap peared that the greater number of the-,e petiol.: were people bearing good characters in their own neighbour hood, awl being entirely ignorant upon the maitre of the law which they had broken. The flonoural):e and Learned Member said he should not vote for the lc newel of the Act. Mr. Secretary PEEL admitted that this Act was un constitutional; nut as to its being inefficacious, that was Me question; aad if the honourable and Learned Gen tleman sheered the inefficacy of it, their he would have made nut a case why the urdsent motion should not be granted. The measu:e had the unanimous support of the Committee, as the amourable and Learned Gentle man had allowed. That Cuinmittee was formed of all pal ties, and the great majolity of the Committee were favourably dispn.ed towards the Catholics. The unani mous opinion of such a body, he thought, claimed some confidence fro.n the House, as they were all the parties who had heard the evidence. Not only were that Com mittee unanimous in favour of the measure, but the same could be said of eve, y Gendenian who gave evidence before them. It might be asked why the Committee were not appointed earlier in the Session? But that applied to the Noble Lord opposite, as well as to the Government; for the moment he brought forward his motion, that moment the Committee was appointed. The evidence of Mr. Becher was necessarily looked to with the highest confidence and value, and his opinion was as decidedly i favour of the necessity of the measure as that of ails Gentleman examined by the Committee. Ose Honourable Gentleman had stated the Insurrection Act t% be sought by the Protestants as an instrument for oppre-ing their Catholic countrymen. He believed spon his honour that a gi eater libel upon the Ptotest ants of Ireland c:aild not be Conceived. A proof of this was supplied by the fact, that it never was applied for by the North of Ireland, where religious animosities ma high. In the county of Fel managh there were se rious disturbances, but the iasturection Act had never beer applied for. Front Mr. Bennett's evidence it ap peared that many poor people were compelled to join the disturber , , by the leir of these nightly burnings.— In the two years previous to the application of the In surrection Act, fourteen murders were committed in one barony, the ve: peratins of which were never drought to justice. The Insurrection Act was a bad thing, but murder and burnings were worse--( Hear). — Ile was not p: epared to admit that the Government was disgraced by the necessity for demanding these powers. From the beginning of the last reign a sec ies of mea sures for bettering the condition of Ireland had been' adopted, and the greatest sympathy was now felt and expressed by the Legislatitre upon every topic connected with her improvement and happiness. He and others had the misfortune to differ horn the Honourable and Learned Gentleman and I:is friends npnn the relief to be given to Catholics, but were they tie,irolis of op pressing Ireland because they held such opinions con scientiously and honestly ?—(hear. hear).—The ca,e was before the Hou,e, recommended by a Committee composed of those t, ho thought with hint and a!;:ritist him upon that question, and he thought it could not re ftre to grant the measure. Mr. TRA NT spoke In support of the Motion. Mr. S. It ICE was ready, reluctantly, to give a vote for this mea rere ; but he would not agree to it, unless it were that a fair Corn rlttee was anxiously inquiring into the state of Ireland, which was siacerely aided by those whom be differed from altogether iu gene- Lit politics. Mr. DEN MAN said, the House, and not the Committee. were to judge of the expediency of this uncorstitutional measure. One thing had been th.monstrated, and that was, that the measure had already been tried and found inefficient. Sir.V. FITZGER A ID defended the conduct of the Migistrates of Ireland, for the manner in which they had carried this Act lute effect. Mr. M. FITZGERA I.D gave due credit to his MajeFty's Go vermin sit for the course which they had ?ursue,l, so far as regarded ctrrying the insurrection Act into clre_t ; but lie ol‘powd the mea were airegt.tit Sir N.

The Gallery woad:es cleared fur a diviaiuu— For lain - r ICI Against it Majority in favour of the Bill - 69 43 , On the Order of the day for the third reading of the New Churches Bill being moved, Mr. DEN MAN and Mr. Hosts objected to bringing forvrar,l this Bill at so late an hour. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 'said, there had hewn many orportunitics of discussing this Bill. It had been dis cussed, and a division had taken place upon it, when the numbers were 42 to 9. He was aware that he was in the power Of the House ; but he must say, he thought he was doing nothing impro per in pressing the third reading. Mr. DENMAN said, if they proceeded to-night, he must deliver his sentiments, late as it was. He would now propose, that the third reakling be postponed till to-morrow. The CiI.ANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER again repeated his wish to lo on. ' Mr. BROUGHAM wished to postpone the Bill till to-morrow. If it was an important measure, it must be postponed until there was time to discuss it. Mr. Secretary CANNING said, the House was now wasting as much tint. a; would have disposed of the Bill. :%Ir.

It will be seen, by referring to the proceedings in the House of Commons last night, that Sir JAMES MACK I N: TOSil postponed resenting the Petition from the Mer chants of London, praying for the recognition of the. independence of the South American States, until this evening. Whether the Honourable Member intends to gr•uud ar.y future motion on the subject, or not, he has not et declared; but it is expected that, on the Petition being brought up, the Secretary of State for foreign Affair; will again be called upon to state the views of his Majesty's Government on this important subject.— That they ate favourable to the independence of the , States which have thrown off the yoke of Spain, is well known, since they already possess all the commer cial advantages of a positive recognition. We stated some days ago, on the authority of Ja maica Papers, that the British Commissioners preiented snuff-boxes to some of the principal persons of the Co lombian Republic, and we now present au official copy of the speech made on that occasion by one of them : " Speech addressed by Colonel Ilaitturott, First Commissioner from his Britannic Majesty, to his Excellency the Vice-President of the Republic, on the occasion of his being presented to him by the Minister for Foreign :Mils on the Bth of March, at half past 11 o'clock, together with Colonel CAMPBELL, and 111 r. CADE, Secretary to the Comatissioil. - - - " SIR,—It is my ardent wish that the Commission which the King of England has dispatched to the Republic of Colombia, should be the means of establishing a firm and solid alliance between the two countries. The mutual interests of both countries require this compact. and I confess that I do nut perceive any obstacle to the accomplishment of this most desirable object. I cannot but acknow ledge, that England possesses at present but little information on South America, a region towards which nature has been so liberal, I may say so prodigal, of her most precious gifts; where all the productions peculiar to tropical climates, and the greater part of those of the temperate climates of Europe, are to be met with in abundance; but your Excellency will permit me to assure yuu,that the British nation is not ignorant of the sacrifices that have been made by the people of Colombia. nor of the valour and determina tion which has been manifested by the army of Columbia during the sanguinary and arduouseonliet which it has been engaged in to free itself from an oppressive state of slavery. I can confidently affirm, that the British people feel the must lively interest in the welfare and prosperity of Colombia ; and your Excellency will permit me to de clare,that I participate in those generous feelings to the fullest extent. " It is said, Sir, that France wishes to a,sist Spain to reconquer these countries; let riot the people of Colombia entertain any appre hension of such an invasion, for in Great Britain it will find a firm and constant friend. I have the honour to present a snuff-box to your E..l:llency, on the part of his Britannic Majesty, in testimony of his esteem." Caie Town Pa;ets to tut: 4th of March have arrived, but they contain no i,tellizence from Athantee ; we un derstand, however, that a letter has been received by a ;ferchant in the City, which confirms the news of the death of Sir CHARLES 111•Cmtvutt and the disastrous affair at Accra. The letter is dated the 13th of March, and was brought by the Pitt, which arrived at Bristol yesterday, from Cape Coact Castle. Allusion, we understand, is made in the letter, to Dispatches previously sent to - Government, but which have not yet been received. ' Bahia Papers, to the lit of April, reached us this warning. It seems by an article in one of them, the Independente Constitutional, that the Province of Per nambuco is no longer hostile to the Imperial Govern ment. The following are extracts: BAHIA, MARCH 24. We have seen the Diano do Govern o of Pernambuco, and from the official pieces inserted in them, we see the contrary of what our enemies would fain persuade us, viz. —The most exact regard to the Enders of his Imperial Majesty, and respectful applications to him, that he may remedy what seems contrary to the interest of the Province, which cannot be different from those of all Brazil. Among these Payers is a Decree of the Go vernment of Pernambuco (founded on the Emperor's Decree for the detention of Purtugue,e ve:•sels and pro perty, and the suspension of commerce with I),rtugal) by which it is declared, that, conformably to the spn it of the Imperial Decree, the importation of all articles of the produce or manufacture of Portugal is prohibited. either in Brazilian or in foreign ships. This morning we received Lisbon Gazdtes, from ti.- 25th to the 30th of May. They ate almost entirely filled with extracts from the Spanish, French, an,l Eng lish Papers. The Court of Lisbon went into mourning on the 28th, for the late Duchess of Lucca, MARIA LOUISA ; the mourning to continue four months; the Courts of, Justice to be cloieLl fur three days. It will be seen, by the following Decree, that there has been a partial change in the Ministry• : HAYMARKET MEANIE. • Last nbeot this house, which is familiarly called the " Little Theatre" in the Haymarket, and which has ever been an memorable as the scene of high• dramatic merriment, was opened forshe sea son; and, nofwithstanclitig the powerful oppositiou of the Winter Theatres, which threaten to keep open the year round, and to pre vent, if they can, their Perf , rmers from appearing at other (louses, there is collected t right merry Company. There is ao much talent, known talent, in the Company, that al unit the result we have not much doubt.—The Theatre Itaa undergone a complete recolouring, and is in every respect ;re..tly improved in neatness and elegance.

Frankfort and other German Papers to the 10th inst. reached us this morning. It appears that the Council of the Canton of Tessin° is so alarmed at the residence of a few foreigners among them, that most rigorous decrees have been is,ued against them. The following are extracts :-- SWITZERLAND, JUNE 2. The Council of State of the Cauton Tessin() has ordered a new inquiry respecting all foreigners at pre . I sent in the Canton, that all those who have not obtained express permission from the Council of State may be ordered immediately to depart, and, if needful, be con veyed over the frontiers. The third Article of this Re solution runs thus: foreigners who are comprehended in any of the following classes shall, on no pretext what ever, be tolerated in the Canton, and cannot, therefore, be furnished with licenses of any kind : 1. Those who have been obliged to leave their own country on account of political transgressions. 2. Those who have been condemned for such causes in their own country, and have escaped punishment by flight. 3. Those who are affected by existing conventions with other States, for the delivering up of criminals; lastly, 4. All deserters and refractory conscripts of allied and friendly. Powers. If any individuals of the above description have ob tained permission to reside, by means of improper testimonies and papers, or otherwise, they will, if discovered, be proceeded against by the Council of State, as shall be found expedient. me Municipal Authorities are enjoined to see to the execution of this ordonnance ; and they are to pay 40 francs for every foreigner discovered within their dis trict who has not the permission of the Council of State, which will from time to time cause search to be made, and inforMation collected, in whatever manner it shall judge proper. It seems that all the rigorous dispositions of this ordonnance, which was issued on 26th April, were found insufficient ; for on the 14th May another was issued with still stricter provisions. The Munici palities, on pain of being fined, are to take care that every foreigner residing in the Canton shall give actual security in the sum of 200 francs. Accurate lists of foreigners shall be kept in each parish, stating the names, country, profession, &c. of every foreigner, his license, and the time of his arrival and departure. Every Municipality is to send an attested copy of these lists to the Council of State in the first three days of June. HANOVER, MAY 27. Our Government has at length obtained from that of England an order to his Majesty's ships to protect• H anoverian vessels against the Algerine corsairs, and has sent notice of this circumstance to the provincial Ma gistrates, and to the Consuls in France, Spain, and Por tugal. Thus North German ships can at length navi• gate in safety the Mediterranean, from which they have been, as it were, banished, and they will, doubtless, avail themselves of this liberty. New Brunswick Papers have becn received to the sth of May, but they do not contain any information. WINDSOR, JUNE 1.4. — Yesterday afternoon, his MA, JESTY dined at the Royal Ledge in the Great Pgrk, and returned ,in the evening to the Castle.—Tbis afternoon, the }Coin and his retinue left the Castle at a little after one o'clock, for the Royal Lodge.

STEAM NIVIGATION TO INDIA. Among the discoveries of modern times, it would be difficult to point out one so important as the Steam Engine, which, within the last 20 years, has given to Britiah industry an impulse quite unex ampled in the history of nations. Steam navigation, notwithstand ing the progress hitherto made in it, it capable of being carried to a much greater extent. It is true that a vessel has 'tossed the Atlantic, we believe in eighteen days, but the consumption of fuel was so great, as to require the ship to be almost half freighted with it. Such improvements have, however, recently been made as en tirely to obviate this difficulty, and the fact is now ascertained, be- • yond all doubt, that by means of it, the longest voyages may be per formed in a much shorter time thae before, and with equal security. A most important and gigantic project is now on foot for establish ing a Steam Conveyance to India, and a • Company will soon be formed for that purpose, wi;11 a capital of .£.100,000. The counie laid down for the voyage is, direct from the port of Lonibm to Marseilles or Lisbon, and thence to Malta, Cairo, Suez, Mocha. and Bombay. The voyage may thus it is expected, with certainty be accomplished in thirty-five days, allowing for.deten tions, &c. It were needless to ex fatiate on the manifold advan tages which must result from a communication so amazingly quick, considering the immense track of ocean which the vessel must tra verse. Nor does the practicability of the plan rest upon vague or • hypothetical inferences ; as ;butt of the ablest scientific men have been consulted on the subject, ar.d they have all, with one accord, expressed a decided opinion in favour of the undertaking. Su anxious are the merchants or Calcutta to sec this desirable object accomplished, that they have already subscribed a lac of rupees in furtherance of it.

This Gentleman appeared in the Office this day, and having taken his seat on the Bench, read a letter containing some very strong re marks against the Ed.t irs of certain Journals, for their comments relative to the late proceedings in the King's Bench and elsewhere. • ANOTHAR BURGLARY AT HAMPSTEAD. The daring gang of burglars who have Fo successfully carried on their system of plunder, contrived to effect another robbery at the house of Mr. George Todd, of Belsize-lane, on the morning of Sunday last, and carry off a quantity of plate, &c. Information was given of the transaction at the above office, and from what has taken place, suspicion has fallen on some persons for whom the officers are in active search. It is astoni,hing that though there is so strong a body of officers on this line of road, who are constantly on the " look out," as it is tetmed, that the robbers should effect their escape. A number of disorderly persons were ordered to find bail, and the most dissolute characters sent to the House of Correction, to beat time to the parody of " And we're all treading, tread, tread, treading around this cursed wheel." A Cabinet Council was held this afternoon, at the Foreign Office. Mr. HA NI lI.TON arrived in town yecerJay evening, from Boulogne, where he is Vice-Consul, %kith dispatches to Go vernment. MRS.
