- :. ' . } 1 4 4.1;h. --Ir.. a Session to pass without legislating, to remedy evil. The other Housi hid coanequentlp appointed a Committee to inquirelito its natuie, and the WHOP* necessary to be madelsefore a Report could be ptoduced had delayed the mealbre founded on that Report to a late period of the Session. Vise Bill, however, was eh:Glutei', necessary to the peace of the country. if any Cart of • it were found inconvenient, it would he perfectly eon petent for Parliament to m ke some alterations in it next Session. It had been said that this Bid WAS in tended to repress workmen alone. This was not the case. It applied both to combinations of won kmen against masters, and to those of master's against work-. men. Nay, it aimed at a still more important objekti the prevention of c ombinations of woiktnen agaittit workmen. The Bill repealed the Act of the last Ses sion, but at the same time continued the repeal of all, the old Statutes, whilst it revived the common law in all cases where the other Act repealed it. He trusted • that their Lordships would not object to the word mo lestation, and would see no mord in any of the clauses to excite jealousy. The 811 did not apply to any fait meeting of svorkinen to regulatetheir wages, and tlit re was every disposition to give it the most liberal inter itietitioo. It allowed, betrides. an spree% to die Quarter Session.. The Marquis of LANSDOWN wished it to be dis tinctly understood, that he not only 'did not oppose th- Bill, but concurred in everything which had fallen from the Noble Earl. Some measure was abso'utely neces sary to protect the men against tremselves. It was desirable that the men and the masters should have op portunities of discussing their respective interests togs , titer, but it would be impossible for any commerce or manufacture to stand, if it were in the power of one part of the - persons employed to impose laws upon the other. This would not be endured if clone by the Le . gislature; and it could not be tolerated in a free coon try that what the Legislature could not do, should be done by a set of men with threats and violence. If this were allowed, the best workmen or manufacturers might be driven away to other countries, where the Govern ment would afford them adequate protection. Should next year any body of . men think that they had been injured by a Bill passed so hastily as the present, he should be ready to move, or to suppori a motion for calling Coun sel to the Bar upon the subject. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the Petition presented by the Noble Marquis could not be received, as .t vies not the Pe lion of the principals themselves, but of the delegates appointed by the trades of London aid Westminster. The Marquis cf LANSDOWN admitted that the objection was fatal, and withdrew the Petition. He held o' hers which were not liable to the same objection, and then presented P. titions. to the same effect from the Broad-silk Weavers of Manchester, from those o. Spitalfiehis, and from the Journeymen Ladies' Boot•and Shoemakers of London and Westminster.—Laid on the table. Earl ROSSLYN supported the Bill, as ts riding to secure to every man the right of disposing of his labour. He then presented Petitions like the former ones, from the Shipwrights .on the river Thames, the Power loom Weavers of Manchester, the Calico Printers of the county of Surrey, and the Cotton Spinners - of Glasgow.— Laid on the table. Earl DARNLEY did not mean to oppose the Bill! before the House, but thought it most extraordinary that his Majesty's Prime Minister and the Chancellor of England should have known nothing of the Act which had passed last year. He then complained of the manner in which measures were sent in mass by the other House to their Lordships' table, at a period of the Session when it was imposaiblero attend properly to them. The House bawling resolved itself into a Committer. 'llse Marquis of LANSDOWN objected to the nature of the punishment affixed by the Bill, the Tread-mill. and moved that the words " kept to hard labour" be left out, and " .ix caltn.:ar month*" inserted instead of" four." .The Earl of LIVERPOOL could not agree to the amendment, as gross eases might ad..- wider that Act for which the would be au appropriate punishment. There was besides an appeal to the Quarter Sessions, and the punishment would be *unleaded till the appeal was decided. The amendment was then negatived without a division. Earl RUSSIA N then moved an Amendment extending the right of the writ Immo to meet. for the consideration, not only of the wages, but of such regulaiious or measures which might affect the price of -work: The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the amendment was wholly suittecessary, ask was already comprised within the mean ing of the clause to which it was proposed. .Earl ROSSLYN then withdrew his amendment. The House resumed the Born was brought up, and agreed to, and tie &audiug Orders having been suspended for that purpose. the Bill was read a third time sad passed. Colts: TRV BANKS. Earl GROSVENOR called the attention of the li. , use to the refusal of a Banker at Bristol to pay Country Notes. and even Bank of England Notes, in cash. Since •Mr. Peel's Bill had passed, the right of utoceeding again-t individuals guilty of such conduct by summary process had been abolished.—There was not suffi cieut aecntity stow, and it might be advisable to revive the mode of sun.tuary process. The Ertl of LIVERPOOL said, there could be no doubt that thee was but one legal tender in the coun trv.—Thiough some inattention a' the time, the mode of summary process bad bean left out of the Act of last year, but night be rsv vssl, if ir should grow necessary. But this hatihing hou.e having created the sirfficelty, and it being now generally known that all notes must be paid in cash, there was no danger for the future. The credit of every solid house would be the best se- curity fin the public. Viscount CM FI)F.N stated, that in order to discourage appli cations fot gold, the Dublin bank paid in guineas, which were of no use in Ireland. as people, nut knowing whether they alight not be light, refused to take them. . The Earl of I.IV EU POOL was not aware of the facts stated by the Noble' Viscount. INDICTMVITS. t The Marquis of LA NSDOWN moved the Order of the Day for going into a Committee an the Bill for allowing .Defendants, as well tip Prosecutors, to remove their causes by CertietWi into the Court of King's Bench. Te LOUD CHANCELLOR trusted, that u the Bill had only come up twoir three days ago, and there had been no possibility of constiltinta single lawyer ripen it, or of considering the subject at all, the Noble Alarquis worald'noi press his motion. If he should comply with this toggistion, be (the Lord Chancelksr).would him- Natal. up .the subject early next Session. The Marquis of LANEDQWN acquiesced in the Noble and Learned Earl's proposal, on the understanding that he would ori ginate a measure himself next year. lie then withdrew his motion. The Church_Rates in Ireland Din went through a Committee, ai;d was reponed.--Adjourned. • Letters from Constantinople, dated May 28, men tion die de eth of an other chid of the Sultan by small pos, making the third which he has lost by this disease.

As the accounts of the Revenue for the Quarter ending to-day will not be made up until a late hour this even ing, we shall not be enabled to present the official returns until to-morrow. We &an, however, state. that they will be found highly satisfactory, and furnish' a new proof of that steady march in prosperity which this country is making—a prosperity which covers, by a constantly increasing Revenue, all the reductions in taxation, extensive as they have been. ,In the Returns of the Quarter just ended, the relative proportions of the Customs and Excise Duties to each other, will exhibit a considerablichange, in consequence of a large amount of the Excise Duties having been transferred to the Customs, pursuant to a regulation of the present Session. In the Customs there is, allowing for the reductions, a very gratifying increase. The amount of the Customs for the Quarter ending sth July,l 824,was 1,997,0701. and that fur the Quarter ending to-day, is about 3,918,000!. exhibiting an increase of £1,920,930 ; but then from this sum we must deduct £1,800,000, which is about the sum-of Excise duties that have been transferred to the Customs, acrd vie shall still have an actual increase of about i:1510,000 int the present Quarter, over tf.e cor responding Quarter of the last year, in the Customs alone. This sum, added to the 89,6591. increase on the last Quarter, will make an excess of the Customs of the bail year, of upwards of 200,0001. over the first six months of the last year. In the Excise; we believe the Returns still be found equally gratifying; but we should not omit to notice one circumstance, which must have operated in some degree to reader the Revenue less productive than k .would otherwise have been. We allude to the strike of the operative workmen in. several trades, which has not only prevented our manufacturers from exe cuting large orders for exportation, on which Customs would have been paid, but it has also led to privations on the part of the operative:, which must have consi derably lessened the consumption of Excise articles. Still we repeat, the Returns of the Revenue will be found particularly cheering, and prove- the solid basis on which the piosperity of Great Britain is founded. This forenoon we received the Attrentherg Corre spondent. and 'other German Papers to the 27th ult. 06e of them contains intehigeirce front Greece, of a much less desponding natuie than the recent state ment: repro rated it; It is said that Navarino has been taken, but that-it has not improved the condition of PACIIA, a d a at Although ItEnsclias PActra his penetrated w the ga ' es of Missoloughi, yet that ,he has sustained some losses, hum the of the tariison, and the attacks of marauding parties. The following are extracts : FRONTIOS OF ITATA, JUNE 11. The latest accounts from Albania. give recent intel ligence from. Etolia and Livadia. The following are .the principal facts which they furnish: Redschid Pacha has already inundated all Etolia with his troops, as far as to the North side of the Gulf of Patras, whence he has made himself master of the road from that place to Lepanto (along ti e coast), and thus. opened himself a communication with that place. It is inconceivable why the Greek ships, which block aded Patras by sea till after the beginning of May, have left the coast, and gone td Cape Papas, where they. cruise partly on the coast of Etolia, and partly on that of the Morea, as far as to Cape Tor nese ? It is affirmed, that the reason of this operation was the news of the speedy arrival o' an Algerine squadron in the Gulf of Lepanto, to support the operations of Redschid Pacha. The latest accounts, however, say that no such squadron had app ared mete. Meantime, ltedschid Pacha coma muntcited with Jusauff Pacha, Governor of Fatal whom he had urged to send for some heavy artillery, with the necessary ammunition, to bombard Misso. lonßhi and Anatolico. Redschid had not taken any sortth him on his expedition; and part of his field artil lery, and a large convoy with anamunition„ which fol lowed hint, has been taken by the Greek marauding parties. No great fears were entertained at Missolonghi, as the sea is open, and the place cannot be taken, unless blockaded on the sea side, and the Turks besides are nut vet)! skilful, and have n.,t the means of l pressing the siege with vigour. As they had ap proached Missolunghi in considerable numbers, Stour. naris, the Governor, had made a sally, with a con siderable force, defeated the Turks, and driven them 'several leagues from the fortress. Isko has collected a ccursiderahle force in the mountains and does the Turks much injury. While one part of this army observes the motions of the Thessalian army, the other has approached L-panto, and is endeavouring to penetrate towards the eastern frontiers of Etolia, and open a communication with Anatolico and Missolonghi. Ibrahim's situation in the Morerthas not improved. His efforts ate principally directed to maintaining himself in his position, till the Captain Pocha shall bring him aid. Navarino is , in his power, but the fortifications of that place are destroyed. Just as our PApTr was going to press, we received Hamburgh Papers to the 28th June, and Dutch Papers to the gd instant. The Emperor of Russia has ordered his Ambassador to the Papal See, to distribute MOO sables annually among the Russian artists starlyilig in Rome. _ The Heaviest: Char ant, of the td inst. contains the following article :—" Some German Papers say that the heads of the house of Mystics:La will shortly meet together, either in Paris or Lon don. As this house has had an important part in the principal financial operations during some years pant, it is no wonder that most persons ascribe this intended meeting net to family matters, but to the necessity of arranging preparatory measures for the purpose of being able, In cue of need, to carry into execution a plan of effecting the reduction of the French Ream (which has not yet been much ad vented by the voluntary conversion), by an eventual repayment ef the principaL" New York Papers have reached us to the 9th, and Philadelphin Papers to the 6th of June ; wit► Papers from New Orleans to the 16th, and from Montreal to the ends of May. One of the New Orleans Papers states, that a body of 1500 Mexican iroopaltad been sent to Yucatan to quell some disorders, and that General Sarum bad been deprived of his command. An extraordinary jealousy of Mexico seems to be felt in the United States, perhaps on account of its proximity—but soothing that Is done in Mexico pleases the people of the Union s when ITIFROID2 was In power, t►en attacks 11111 the Monarchy were Inca. sant ; and now t►ey are net satisfied when the Government is Re-' publican. One tithe New Toth Papers says, the Treaty between Great Britain and Mexico was unpopular with the people of the latter country, because ' 4 it exacts from the Mexican Government the free toleration of religion, the cession of the Californias, &c." It adds, that these stipulations are denied in the Government Papers, and we should have felt surprised had they not, for nothing can be more unfounded; the Mexican Government Is too liberal to refuse to just and necessieY a tight as the free toleration of religion, and the British Government too liberal to exact as the price of its amity, a cession of territory. These papers confirm the account of the mutiny of a body of Mexican troops stationed at the island of Sactificios, on the 30th of April, when they pot their Ulcers to death. The Mexican General In the tkighbouthood of Vera Crux lost no time in march ing against the mutineers, who had hoisted the Spanish flag. They were compiDed to surrender; twenty of the ringleaders were executed the first day, and ether executions bad followed.
