Lord KING presented similar Petitions from the Protestant Dissenters of Taunton; and of Mitcham, in the County of Surrey.

The Earl of HARROWBY presented a Petition from the Ge neral Quarter Sessions of the County of Stafford, praying the House to take into its consideration the increase of Juvenile Offenders. Mr. Josmrrons, from the Once of the Chief Secretary for Ire. land, presented an Account of the Stamp Duties received in the Courts of Law and Equity in Ireland, since 18111; and other Pa pers relating to tbose Courts.

Mr. JOHNSTON!, from the 'Office of the Chief Secretary for Ireland, presented a return of all Sums paid into the Exchequer of Ireland during the last year. in the several Colonies ;also Corks of all Orders in Council Issued for the Regulations of the Co ' He thougkt it very important that Gentlemen should have an opportunity•trfoortsulting important documents of this kind in the library of the House, without being under the necessity, as now, of going far that purpose to the Colo nial Mee. Without cogitating these documents.it was impossible they could clearly undetstand the real situatieo of the slave popula tion of the Colonies. After a few words from Mr. CURTRIS, in support of the motion, and recommendini some better regulations in the library of the House. Mr. HUSKISSON said he could have no other Wish but to communicate the fullest ittfottflatlon. In INS a motion, similar to this, was made, and the doCuments were not ready till four years after. They bad since greatly accumulated, both in print and to manuscript. It would be a work of great labour and great expense, both in time and money, to transcribe the whole. In many of the colonies none of their Acts were printed. 'Yhey wee' sent over here in manuscript. All these must be transcribed, so that it would not be possible for him to say when the work could be executed. If the Honourable Gentleman was willing tu con fide in hint, be should take care to have such parts of those nume tour documents selected as bore upon any matter of public interest. They amounted already to two hundred volumes. Any documents which this selection might not contain would be readily produced when required. Dr. LUSH INGTON said, that great inconvenience arose in cases of Appeal from the Colonies, from not having a *col lection of the Acts of the Colonial Legislatures in a printed form. Mr. HUSKISSON said, these Acts would, of course, form a part of the selection. Mr. HUME said, his principal object was to make hismotion prospective, and it was confined to documents already printed. He concurred in the suggestion of the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Huskision).—The motion was agreed to. MALT ACT AND YALTSTIRS. On the motion of Mr. LITTLETON a Return was ordered ofl the names and residences of all the Maltsters who had been con victed in penalties between 1814 and 1827, distinguishing the offences upon which the convictions had taken place, the amount bf the penalties, and the places in which the convictions bad been made. Petitions were presented, praying for a repeal of the Malt Act, from the Maksters of the following places:—By Mr. Cnertin, from a place in Lincolnshire ; from Henley-tmon.Thames; by Mr. FAZA zzzzzz from Biddeford; by Mr. Winn:oat, front Bridg north, Wellington ' b and another place • by Mr. P. Cosies=, from Shrewsbury; by Lord Cutts, from Ludlow, in Shropshire; by Mr. &ANSI', front Chelmsford ; by the Marquis of WOlteriTllll, from Monmouthshire; by Mr. PINDARVIS, front Bodmin, in Cornwall; by Sir T. Accent), from Plymouth; by Mr. DUNDAN, from Richmond, in Yorkshire; by 'Mr. C. F. Pete. tan. from New bury; and by Mr. Hoene., from Bishop's Castle. The Petitions were severally ordered to be printed. Mr. P. CORBETT took that opportunity of calling the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the subject.— The Maltsters had beets subject to great inconvenience by the Act of last Sessions, and they felt desirous that it shoold be repealed, or so far altered as it ought to be in justice to their interests. The regulations also which bad been issued from the Treasury were nut by any means free from objection. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he should avail himself of the opportunity afforded by the presenta tion of a Petition to enter fully into so important a subject. Ile had already &elm d it to be his intention to bring the subject fully before the House as soon as possible after Easter ; and, in the mean, time, be should content himself with assuring the Houle, that he was ready and anxious to give his best attention to all the informa tion and suggestions be might receive. The object simply and really was, to raise the Revenue required in the way which would be the least but theneoene to those front whom it was to be collected. With respect to the regulations issued from the Treasury, they were issued as a matter of experiment, and he did not see that there could be any objection to their continuing in force until the time proposed for the discussion of the question, as by then it would be seen whether they were really beneficial or not. After a desultory conversation, in which Sir M. W. Rutter, Mr. SLAiiiir, Sir J. Nsweoasr, Mr. C. Ileacter, 3lr. F. PALMER, and Mr. Pointers participated, the subject dropped. On the motion of Mr. Lniutoo, a Return was ordered of the Number of Licences taken out by Country Bankers dining the years 1824, 1825. 1826, and 1827, distinguishing those who cars ied on business in more than one place. The lion. it. KING presented Petitions front the Roman Ca tholic Inhabitants of 23 Parishes in Roscommon in favour of the Itoman Catholic Claims. Mr. 11. CLARK presented a similar Petition from a Parish in Xi kenny. I.ord lIINGH A 31 presented four similar Petitions. Sir J. LOWTHER presented a Petition front Whitehaven, praying for a Repeal of the Receipt Duties Act. Lord W. POWLETT presented a similar Petition from Sun derland. BIG T. DUN DAS presented a similar Petition from the Do. rough of Richmond. The Petitions were ordered to be printed. Mr. SLANEY postponed his notice of motion respecting the Poor Laws, from to-morrow to Thursday. March 13. On the motion of Sir J. NEWPORT, certain returns were ordered respecting the Admiralty Court of Ireland. On the maim: of Dr. PHI LLI MORE, various returns were ordered respecting the Ecclesiastical Courts in England and Wales. On the motion of Mr. HUME, a Return was ordered of all the Ports admitted to the right of bonding goods, together with the amount of the tooege entered in each. Os the motion of Mr. HUME, an Account was ordered of the expenditumot the 153.000/. voted in 11111 for the maintenance of the Volunteer Carpi. The same Honourable !MEMBER moved for a variety of Re turns respecting the Volunteers and the Militia, which gave rise to a desultory conversation respecting the expense and trouble attendant on their production, but they were ultimately agreed to. Sir JAMES GRAIIA3I moved for a Rewrite( the Number of Persons employed in Public Affairs and in Public Departments, together with their Falaries, in the year 1797; also for a Return of the Increase which bad taken place in the number of persons so Employed, said in their Salaries, between the years 1797 and 1819. Mr. DA. W SoN said, that the Returns were already before the House. They . were made annually. The Clerks of the Treasury were already employed front morning till night preparing state ments for the Finance Committee, and it would really be impossiMe for them to get through the work it that House should,at the tenni moment, requite a multitude of intricate Returns. • Sir JAM ES GB AnAM persisted in his motion, and after a short conygroation, in which Mr. Secretary Hussman and Mr. liens took part. it was agreed to. Mr. Dewsms presented an Account of the Army Extraordinaries, which was ordered to be printed. CONFIDENTIAL. Coll RESPONDENCE.—SAMAICA. Mr. W. HORTON said, that seeing the Honourable Member for Aberdeen in his place, he would rake that opportunity of bringing a statement, in which the name of the Honourable Member was mixtd up. under bis attention. A Nli. Beaumont, who was a Member of. the L gislative Body ef Jamaica, and the Editor of a Paper in that Island, had possessed himself of a secret and confideitial correspondence which had taken place between, tie Dole of Manchester, Eatl Bathurst, and' Limself (Mr. W. Horton). That correspondence Mr. Beaumont had, in violation of every principle of honour. published in his Paper. And it was very well known that Mr. B. bad. boasted that be received that corres• pondence from the Honourable Member for. Aberdeen, with whom Mr. Beaumont said he had had a conver sation. The publication of the correspondence in ques tion had produced a very injurious effect, and created, very unjustly, considerable discontent against his Ma jesty's Government—at least against that part of it which bad the superintendence of the Colonies; and Lis reason for the mentioning the subject was, to give tie lion. Member for Aberdeen an opportunity of vin dicating himself from the assertions of Mr. Beaumont. Mr. LID ME said, that he had never seen Mr. Beau mont but once, and then that Gentleman waited on him to request that he would present to the House a P:ti lion from the People of Colour in Jamaica. With re spect to any secret correspondence that Mr. Beaumont Lad obtoined, he (Mr. Hume) had furnished him with none . Ue had never seen the correspondenc e to which tl.e Hon. Member (Mr. Horton) alluded. and never L ea ,d that it seAs in existence until about a week ago. • Sir T. ACLA ND moved for km to bring in a Bill for the tinter Regulation of the Divisions of Counties. Af era few words from Mr. PORI74AX, Lord Pawner, Mr. F. f.V.444iza, Mr. Maas, and Mr. D.

E 9 7$ 76 410 In the Lords last night, the R.beck Divorce Bill was passel In the Commons, on the presenting of a Petition by Mr. Coaster, the Cnatcut.os of the ETCIIIOOIII said that the alterations in the Malt Act were merely experimental, and he intended, before Easter, to bring the whole subject before Parliament. Mr. W. HORTON mentioned that a statement had been made in a Jamaica Paper, that the Editor bad certain letters in his posseuion, which had passed between the Duke of Mascots:at and Earl BAT/HIRST ; and also that be bad a letter addressed to Mr. Holeon. The former were said to have been received from Mr. Host. Mr. Hurts said be had seen the Editor alluded to, in England, but never heard of the correspondence before, and therefore could not possibly have given it to him. The fact alluded to during the debate on the Test and Corporation Acts, of three Members of the Cabinet being Presbyterians of the Church of Scotland, speaks volumes—in showing, first, the little interest attached at the present day to the peculiar creeds of public mea l the circumstance having not once been noticed in all the late discussions as to the Ministry ; and, 2dly, the liberal basis, in this respect, on which the present Ca binet is formed. It would indeed be strange if such a matter should stand in the way of the services of States men like Lord hlsoraLs and Mr. GRANT, or of a Nobleman, the ei presidium a dulce deems" of the Arts, like the Earl of Artearassr. The idea of a Congress of the European Powers on the affairs of Greece, to which a Representative: of , the Porte was to be invited, must now, it is to be feared, be considered impracticable. The Turkish Manifesto (of the genuineness of which, by the bye, there is,no doubt,) breathes exactly that intractable spirit of deb• once, and recklessness of results, upon which conferences and negotiations are entirely thrown away. Thr qaestion is not, now, whether the Treaty of London shall be carried into effect, for on that point the de clarations of Government are sufficiently explicit, but whether any, and what measures of a stronger cast shall be adopted, and to what lengths the Allied arms shall be advanced ? The war-cry of an impassioned, but half civilized nation, in defence of rights of conquest, which it hylds not the less sacred, though exercised in a man ner revolting to humanity, must be regarded as no further impediment to the views of Great Britain and her Allies, than to induce them to pause for a moment to renew their mutual assurances of assistance, and to advance firmly in the course marked out for them. The Noble Duke, whose signature attests the Protocol of I St. Patersburgh, is not a man to be daunted by a wild wareo hoop, or to be blinded by the sophistical advisers of a temporising policy, at once.nnworthy of the Go vernment of GEARGE the Fourth, and dangerous to the Peace of Europe. The intelligence from Constantinople, contained in the Paris Papers received last night. comes down to the 27th ult. and will be read with interest at the present moment. The SULTAN appears to have decided on war, at all events, alai his preparations for that purpose are,of the most vigorous descript►on. He calls the whole Mussulman world to arms, to contend for its European pnssessions;.and anticipating the probable result of the war, a cattle . is building on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, surroundetiwith ramparts, to which he may lettear, in ti , e event of Constantinople being besieged. In :he mean time, troops are in motion in all directions for the fronrierss and preparations are making for the departure of the SULTAN for Adrianople. The Pacha of EGYPT has promised to aid his Master in this ez t•emity with the whale disposable force which he can command. The banishment of the Armenian Catholics proceeded with unmitigated rigour: nearly 90,000 had been di iven out of the suburbs of Pera and Galata ; and their houses, w hen net confiscated to the State, were immediately occupied by Mussulmen and soldiers. A letter from Vienna, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that it was believed in that Capital the Russians would unavoidably cross the Pruth. The Algemeine Zeitu ---"ww n g ind Frankfort Papers, each to the 22d instant, have been received this morning. The extracts, particularly from the former Paper, are interesting. ATXXANDRIA, I:lectures 29. On the 27th, in the morning, a diviston of the Egyp tian fleet from Navarin, under the flag of the Capitan Bey and the Patroni Bey, appeared cff the harbour. Towards noon there vessels were close to the shore, being the. remains of that formidable fleet upon which, six months ago, the hopes of the Porte were founded. These are eight brigs, four cutters, four frigates, and several transports. A ship of the line and two frigates, which were seinrated from the squadron in a gale, and respecting whose fate some apprehensions are enter tained, are expected. About fourteen thousand per sons were landed and encamped on the coast.— Among them are slaves of both sexes, wounded soldiers, and about four thousand troops, who have become unfit for service, as well as the entire harem of Ibra him niche. It appears, therefore, that it is intended to send from the Morea all those persons who could not perform actual service, and that a great motive is the scarcity of provisions. Ibrahim Paella himself remain in the Noma. On the news that the fleet had entered our port, all the inhabitants assembled there, and the Viceroy him. elf inspected it. The sight of it appeared to awaken feelings in him which some per. sons thought they perceived on a preceding occasion, but respecting which they would willingly deceive them selves. his affirmed, in short, that the Viceroy is in his heart by no means inclined to peace, that he very deeply feels the defeat at Navarin, and that he is,above all, ea. tremely indignant that the Greeks are still permitted to carry on their operations both by sea and land, without any opposition from the Allied Powers; and that he bap even been induced to advise the Sultan, in case thesis excesses are not suppressed, to have recourse to the sword, and declare war, on which he may depend on the entire support of Egypt. All the measures taken here indicate preparations, if not for an offensive, yet for a defensive attitude. We have no recent accounts of the insurrection of the Weehabites.—Algemeine Zeituug, Feb. 21. AUGSBURG. FE& IL -The Algenmine Zeitung of this date contains what is said to be a literal translation of the proclamation and instructions, which have already been often mentioned, and which, after the' departure of the Ambassadors, were addressed by the Porte, on the 1&h of Dee. 1827, to the Ayans in Europe and Asia. This document begins with these words- 14 Whoever is endowed with some understanding knows, that as all Mussulmen naturally hate the Infidels, the latter, on their part, ate the enemies of the Mussulmen." These phrases, how. ever, are so very opposite to the contents of all docu ments which we have hitherto received, as issued by the Porte, that this circumstance appears to us a sufficient ground to call in question the authenticity of this docu ment, or at least the fidelity of the translation. Frankfort German Paper, Feb. 21. LOWER BLUR.

This measure is considered as a sure indication of an approaching reconciliation between the Governments of Hanover and Brunswick, especially as the order was issued by the Duke himself while he was •at Vienna.

For some time past the passage of Couriers through (his-city to and from St. Petersburgh, Vienna, Berlin, London, the Hague, and Paris, is more active than ever. Though the accounts horn Vienna, London, and in some degree from Paris, are favourable to the pre servation of peace, this hope is much weaker in the Noah, and it is pretty confidently affirmai that Russia according to the Treaty of July 6th, will occupy the Principalities ; and that one of the last Couriers from St. Petersburgh was the beater of communications to this effect to the other Cabinets. The accounts from Prussia also indicate that the affairs of the East are there considered to be in a situation in which the sword alone can decide.—Nereemburg Correspondent, Feb. W.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT THE NEW BRUNS• ♦IICK THEATRE-MANY LIVES LOST. The utmost alarm was occasioned this morning about it o'clock' in the vicinity of the above Theatre, by a most dreadful crash; and the inhabitants ran out of their houses with all possible dispatch under the apprehension that a shock of an earthquake had been et: perieneed. It was soon discovered that the roof of this new Theatre had fallen in, and the fear became general that the event !mot have occasioned great loss of life, as many of the parties con.- oected with the Theatre, workmen, &c. were known tole within. the walls. It will be recollected that this Theatre only opened on Monday last for the first time since its completion, and was considered a well built edifice. The roof was composed wholly of cast iron, and it would appear that the walls were not sufficiently strong to bear the immense pressure, and bulged out. The beat, too, which arose on the evenings of performance, it is imagined, caused the iron to expand, and forced away patio( the brick work by which it was surrounded. The fears entertained that many individuals had perished under the large mass of iron , have proved too well founded, it being at present calculated that not less than one hundred individuals have been killed. The performers of the Theatre were rehearsing at the time, and those, as well as the workmen, are all under the ruins. In fact, at present no one can tell bow many lives have been lost. The front of the Theatre is nearly level with the ground, and only two persons have as yet been taken out wounded. A guard of soldiers bas jus t . arrived from the Tower, and as soon as possible search will be made for the unfortunate individuals who bate fallen a sacrifice 'to the accident. Had it happened a little later, the workmA and ether' would have left the building. The remainder of the walls left standing are in a most dangerous condition, and no one can ar. roach them until made secure by being propped up. One of the performers, a female, has just been taken away wounded. FURTii PARTICULAM—The above sad accident happened about twenty minutes before 14 o'clock this forenoon. At this period, a brewers dray, with three horses, and a straights laden with sugar hogsheads, were passing in different direetions,-- it is supposed the vibration of these vehicles shook the roof from • its basis. Be that as it may, the dray and the waggon, horses, and altogether, with the passengers accidentally ou the spot at the slate, are now under the ruins of this stately edifice. Among these •were a Lady and Gentleman; on the crash, the Gentleman was caught by the boot, but fortunately slipped out his leg and escaped; the Lady, less fortunate, was buried in the ruins. The front wall fell into the street; the ( whole of the iron roof Into the interior of the building. ADDITIONAL Nava/LA ng.—Two o'CtocK.—Upon making a more minute inquiry into the cause of this most lamentable casualty, we have ascertained that the iron roof has not been dis covered to have expanded in any way, and during the morning not the slightest appearance of any danger was perceivable.— At the moment, however, of the awful calamity, Mr. Carruthers, the proprietor, who was in the stage lobby, says, there wee a tremendous shaking of the building, and inatantly apprehensive of some danger, milled out, and several of the performers and Tome artisans rushed out, .and IS a minute after a Iriglstful cradt was beard,; the building fell, and tbir neighbourberit in an instant was obscured by a cloud of dust, through which nothing ban one wild shriek was beard. The Mills of the building fell outwards and against the public-house opposite, known by the sign of the Star and Horse-shoe, and that also is included- in the ge neral ruins. This boom was full of people; and how many have suffered is not known. The number of lives lost in the Theatre cannot be yet ascertained. Up to this hour, nine dead bodies have been taken out, and removed to the Workhouse. Several persons injured in the street were taken to the London Hospital. To add to the horror of this dreadful accident, we lave to men tion that several persons pausing In the street are crushed. Two drays, each having three horses, were also buried by the falling rule, and the horses killed. Hundreds of workmen are employed remcving the rubbish sad taking out the dead. The remainder of the bonding is in a most dangerous state, and immediate arrangements are trade toinall is down. The Magistrates in attendance are, Sir Mu; WILLUbIa, Mr. BALLO:MR, Mr. MALLARD, and Mr. Wear. The gas was lighting at the moment, and has been since aseer. Seined not to have been extinguished. Some engines are on the spot in readiness to work, but u yet nothing is discernible but art iaal mense heap of ruins. _ _ FIVE o'CLccit.—ln addition to the above particulars, we learn front a Gentleman who has this instant returned from the spot, that Mr. Maurice was killed. Nineteen bodies had been dug out, and exertions were making to discover the others, but the number cannot be exactly ascertained. It was most fortunate that the accident did not occur last night, during the time of per formance, when the house was crowded, otherwise t►e loss of lives must have been awful to excess. The pickpockets were, as usual, active on this oceasiou. Many constables were on the alert, and apprehended several.
