At two o'clock, the LOBO CHANCELLOR, the Arch- CSINTaki/Oir, the Earl of HAIinOWAT, the Earl Of SHAFTSSBORT, and L'ird Viscount GODIRICH, took their seats below the l'hione, as his Majesty's Commissioners, to give the Royal Assent to several and to prorogue. the Parliament. The CoTflni were immediately summoned to the Bsr of the House of Lords., to hear the Royal Commission read ; and the Spe4ker, accompanied by severe! Members, attended. The LORI) CHANCELLOR then read the Royal Commission, authorising t' e Commissioners to give the Royal Assent to the following Bills, which was done in the usual form; The Vote of Credit Bill ;,. the Revenue Consolidation Bill ; the yarehoused Corn Bill; the Corn Averages' Bill ; the Customs' Laws Consolidation Bill; Bills relative to the Abolition of the Slave Trade; New South Wales Administration of Justice Bill; the Canada Reserves' Bill; Tithes' Composition Bin (Ireland) ; Manor Cobirte (Ireland) Bill; Petty Sessions (Ireland) Bill; Dotter Trade (Ireland) Bill; the Board ot Stamps' Consolidation Bill; the New Churches Bill; Transportation of Offenders' Bill; Sites for Public liondiap' Bill; Arrests on Mesne Process Bill; Coates( Distress (Ireland) Bill; Leith Police Bill; and Taxation of Costs on Private Bills in the House of Lords Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR then read his Majesty's Speech, (for which see the Stasi of yesterday). The Commons retired, and the business of the Session was at an end. There were few Peers present to witness the Prorogation, and bet few visitors. HOUSE OF COMMONS. - - - - The SPEARICR entered the House this day a little before two o'clock, and after heating prayers, proceeded to count the Memhers, when it appeared that there w4re only thirty in attendance; amongst whom we distinguished the Right Honourable Secretary Sturges B urne, Right Honourable Charles Grant, Mr. %A -m t-Horton, and Mr. Brougham, who was robed, and hai a Petition in his hand; but the Speaker not having taken the Chair before the entrance of the Black Rod, the P. tition was not presented. A few minutes after two o'clock the Yeomen of the 131 ick R,d entered the H )use, and announced that the Lords Commissioners nominated by his M4jesty to declare the Royal Asset to several Acts of Pattiament, and to prorogue the present Parliament, were assem blei in the House of Lords, and requested the attend ance of the Commons. _ The SPEAKER, accompanied by all the Members • present, then withdrew, and remained away for about a quatter of an hour, when he returned, and proceeded to read the Speech, standing at the table. The SPEAKER then bowed to the Members present, and withdrew. 11 i il i . 4 , , 4 . ;, E i, i t ' , - t. 1 t/ 1 i i . z • It i ~, E 1 .1 1 it i .111 1 4 1 l '— fi l ; 1 s I: 1 ' , 4 . . . i : 1 . 4 3 4 t. 0 .

The KING'S Speech, of which we gay , a correct copy yesterday in the whole of our public+ti•.n, does not seem to us to require any particular witice, either for what it says, or for what it omits. The sin of oruks on is chiefly erged against it; but a little con.ideration ould chew that this charge could sot sand, as the topics which properly come under this denomination, such as the affairs of the Peninsola and the ultimate fate of Greece,Ve still under discussion, and could not be touched upon without a pernicious departure from esta• blished custom. In the meantimr, the sentiments of the pillsent Cabinet afford a pledge that the foreign interests of the country will not suffer any detriment under us guidance. With respect to what the Speech promises. particularly on the subject of economy in the management of the public money, as well at of. retrenchment in the expenditure, we accept the promise gratefully, but with the determination to remind Ministers of it, should, contrary to our hopes, their mem,,riei require to be refreshed. In consequence of the expectation that his MAJICSTY would yesterday prorogue the Parliament in persoa,arveralPeeresses took their seats is the body of the House at an early hour, and a great number of strangers were below the Bar, who were much disappointed, as it was prorogued by Commission. There was bat a thin attendance of Members of the House of Commons whets the Loafs CSlANczu.os read the Speech. We received this morning Hamburgh Papers to the 50th ult. They contain no news from Russia, and no further allusion to the preparations of that Power in favour of Greece. Under the bead of Warsaw, Bth June, it is stated that the Tribunal of the Diet, which, by a Decree of the 19th April, is directed to pass sentence on the persons implicated in the late con spiracy, has already commenced its proceedings.._ The President of the Diet, having been a Member of the Commission of Inquiry, is, during the con tinuance of these judicial proceedings, superseded by the Senator and Waywode Count 13111LINSKI, for the purpose of imparting to them a character of impartiality. The Diet met for the first time on the 15th ult. and was addressed by the Minister of State, Count SoaoLawstz in a speech, stating the reasons of its being convened, and insisting en the necessity of the proceedings. At the same time, he stated that it was with deep regret that the EMPEROR ordered them to be instituted, and that his MAJZsTY gave way alone to a sense of duty, and to his desire to preserve the principle's of social order. This mild and specious lan guage will no doubt be considered by many as a bad omen for the accused, as it has in most instances of a similar kind served as a cover for the most sanguinary intentions. After this speech, a report of the Commis sion of Inquiry was read, from which, as far as it is given (only the first part appearing, the remainder being promised), it would appear that the offence, with which the accused are charged, is of a very venial, or, as some would say, of a very praiseworthy character. They ' are charged with having been members of a secret so ciety, established for the first time as far back as the year 1814, under the highly obnoxious title of " Genuine Poles." Its object was to diffuse " a national spirit;" and though this was an unpardonable crime to a Rus sian, it was, we presume to think, no offence in a Pole. However, as the former holds the scales of justice and the sword in his bands, his interpretation will probably prevail. Yet we would advise the Poles to be of good heart, for, overclouded as their destinies are now, this dense cloud may be dispersed. We can never per suade ourselves that so brave a nation, notwith standing the many disheartening circumstances of its present situation, is doomed to perpetual bond- age. Present appearances, we allow, are not fa vourable to the hope of seeing Poland restored to her independence ; but it would be cowardly on that account to despond, particularly as the first cannon, which is fired in Europe, may bring about the very event, that at this time appears to be all but imprac. ticable. The following is a copy of the Report : REPORT or Tut COICIOSSiON ST INIVIIIT, ADDICUBD TO THE GRAND DEICE CONITAIITINT CCSAIRWITSCM, COUKADOCIAM. CHM or THE POLISH ARMY. At the end of the year 1914 there existed a secret Society, under the name of Genuine Rtes: its object was to diffuse a national spirit. Every member bound himself to engage other members, and to observe secrecy. As an external mark of recognition, they wore rings with the national colours, and a certain num ber of points, indicative of the number of the fundamental laws of the Society, and with the cypher of the name of the Society.— The Society, which never had more than twelve members, did not succeed, and was dissolved i■ about a year, without leaving any trace of its existence, but an awakened spirit of intrigue. Shortly after, some minds were again interned by an incidental expression of the late General of Cavalry,Dabroirsky, regretting that the brave Palish nation had derived so little advantage to itself from its great sacrifices,that the existence of the divided nation seemed less secured, and that it were to be wished that the spirit of the Pules could be ex cited, and confidence in their own strength inspired,ln order without regard to the difference of the Governments to which they were now subject, to concentrate their whole efforts In favour of the present Sovereign in the kingdom of Poland, and as circumstances should offer, to preserve their independence, and the freedom to submit to a King whom the peopl? might choose. These expressions did not fail to make a considerable impression, and were communicated at different times to Prince Antony Jablonowaki, and also to Lieutenant-Colonels Krzyzanowski and Pradzynski, and to several other persons, but they did not lead to the formation of any particular Society for the prosecution of the object, though the ideas hereby excited may have taken root, and led the way to the subsequent secret Societies in Poland. • In 1821, notwithstanding the closing of the freemasons lodges, a suspicion arose of secret Societies, and the investigation which was ordered to be made, clearly proved the existence of such a one un der the name of National Freemasonry, the form of which resem bled that of the freemasons' lodges. Major l,ukasinski, of the 4th regiment of Infantry, who had already conceived plans fur a more extensive secret Society, took the opportunity of the establishment of this National Freemasonry, and accepted the dignity of Grand Master. Without excluding other persons, he chiefly sought to en gage Civil and Military Meers, and the following was stared to be the object of the Society—reciprocally to a'sist each other in all the events of life, to labour fur the maintenance of the National charac ter, and to preserve the remembrance of the glorious deeds of the Polish nation. Fur this reason they assumed for their motto, the 'lllustrious names Boleslaus. Chtobry, Hatorzamoyski, Ponlatowskl. The Society had soon a considerable number of members, but as It was without unity of sentiment and aetio and as Major Luke sinski had mited distrust by want of siricaity, and distonteet bi his arbitrary proceedings, the members gratin:al) , separated from it. Lukasiotki, therefore, could not and in itbe Society itself an instru. !bent for the attainment of objects different from those alleged, and it was accordingly deflated dissolved at the beginning of 1820. This date may he considered u the end of the national Fremasonry among the military. The Chapters of iiibe Society, *wetter, or rather the Secret Committee, unknown to the members of it, 6tlll existed in full acti vity, and having thrown off the mask of freemasonry, pursued the real object of the founder. A new Society was accordingly formed IA 1821. M. Von Isessnleeki, formerly a Polish Officer, having settled, after he quitted the service, in the Grand Duchy of Posen, intro- duced there the national Freemasonry, into which he had been initiated at Warsaw; and this Society, after being dissolved in the Kingdom of Poland, continued to exist in Posen till the year I aim At the end of June that year a Colonel Pradzynaki was present at a meeting in which Gen. Urninild was teceived. Szemaolecki going soon after this to Warsaw, he was told that the Society was dissolved in t►at city, and it would be well to do the same in Poland ; to which he is said to have replied, that this could not be done, in , &slouch as by the influence of Pradzynski, the object and denomi nation of the Society were changed, and it was now called by the name of the Scydseheurers.—(To be continued ) We also received this morning the Algesseixe Zeitung to the 26th ult. and the Austrian Obsemer to the 22J. The former contains no news of any sort, and the latter has merely extracts horn the Greek Universal Gasette, but all of old date, such as official notices of the ap pointments oVount CAPO &ISTRIA, Lord COCHRANE, and General CHURCH, the Decree respecting the third Loan, Lord Cocnita rues Proclamation to the Samien•, &c. It is rather strange that the Austrian Observer has not yet said a word respecting the intentions of the Allied Powers to interpose in the quarrel between the Greeks and Turks. Though the caution of tliat Paper in matters of this kind is proverbial, yet, as it would be ridiculous, had such a design as we have just mentioned been actually formed, and received the sanc. Lion at the same time of the parties chiefly interested, we cannot help looking upon the silence of that Paper as a proof that either the plan of armed interference is not ripe for execution, or that it meets with obstacles in the Cabinet to which the Austrian Government could probably afford a key, if it happened to be in a complying mood. In the meantime, the Turks are pursuing their successes with Uninterrupted activity; and if the Dive ex ntachina promised to the Greeks in the celebrated conferences at St. Petersburgh does not speedily come to their aid, there is reason to apprehend that the game will soon be up with a people whose struggle and sufferings have so long at tracted the sympathy of the civilised world. The Duke of CLARIINCI came to town yesterday morning from him seat la Bushy Park. His Royal Highness trans actedcadal business at the Adrairaky. The Royal Duke left town about eve o'clock, ea his return to Booby. A Cabinet Council was held at four o'clock yester day aftefneon at the residence of Mr. Cursinso in Downing-street which was attended by the Lord Chamenor, Mr. Canning, tie Marquis of Landow°, the Marquis of Anglesey, the Lad of Harrowby, the Earl of Carlisle, Mr. Secretary Boum, Viscount Dudley and Ward, Viscount Declutch, Viscount Palmerston, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Huskissoa, and Mr. Timmy. The Ministers sat In deliberation for about two hours. Mr. CANNING entertained a numerous party of Mem bers of the House of Commons to dinner yesterday, at his residence in Downing-strest. The Members present were—Mr. Secretary . Bourne Viscount Palmerston Gaoled of Hahrldge, Lord Tulle more, Sir Charles Forbes, Bert. sir F. Barden, Sir R. Wilson, Major Chichester. Mr. Lambton, Mr.Maberly, Mr.Vilikrs Stout, Mr. Gilroy Cave, Mr. Plants , Mr. Money, Mr. Spencer Primeval, Mr. Philips, MrGordon, Mr. Hyde Villiers, and Mr. Loft. Mr. Peat. gave a.grand dinner yesterday, at his re- Moue in Privy.gardens, to a numerous putty. The Marquis de PALMILLA, the Portuguese Ambas sador,the Count siVeoua, the Spanish Minister, and Sir Hums: TATUM, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign (Nike. The Colombian Minister transacted business on Sun day at die Foreign nice. It is stated that Lord BINNING is to be elevated to an English Peerage, under the title of Lord Metaosa. We are sorry to learn that Lord BLOOM MILD has., been seriously indisposed at Walmer. Besides the numerous Bills thrown out, or postponed by the House of Lords, in consequence of having been sent from the Commons just as Parliament was about to be prorogued, there now remain on their Lordships books, the Penryn Election Bill, the Copyhold Estates Bill, the Writ of Right Bill, the Roman Catholics Land Tex Bill, the Bankers Regulations Bill, and the Corn Laws Bill; the second and third reading of which no body was tound ready to move. During the last six weeks the ports have been open for the admission of foreign oats, at a duty of four-pence a quarter; and during that period no less *quantity than 353,000 quarters have been entered for home consump tion, in the port of London alone. The duty levied upon such grain has not amounted to more than 5,9001. al though the prices, as might have been expected, have fallen considerably since the time when the averages, by' which the importation was governed, were made up.— This is according to the old system ; and it may not be wholly unprofitable to consider how the new law would have operated, had it been in force at that ps rind. In the first week the duty, with reference to the average price, would have been Is. 9d. in the second and third Ss. Sd. in the fourth and fifth weeks 4s. 9d. and in the last 6s. Sd. The aggregate amount of duty would thus have amounted to more than 66,0001. The effect of the Censorship, which was at first only seen in the altered tone of the Paris Papas, has now become obvious before perusal. They begin to exhibit extmples of those lacuna which, under the former operation of this arbitrary system, the fiat of the Censor often compelled them to present to the eye of the reader. Nearly two columns of the Journal des Debate, which arrived last night, are left blank, and this de ficiency occurs in the part of the paper usually allotted to literary articles. All that remains to indicate the n attire of the matter on which sentence of exclusion has been pronounced, is the word Yarieds, pt inted as a title. A letter fom Payis, dated the 27th ult. states that the Spanish Nobleman Count °SALM, who was pre ,ented to his MAJESTY on S rturday last. and must gra ciously received, has been appointed Minister for Fo reig, Affairs, in the room of Mr. SALMON, and may therefore he shortly expected to return to Madrid.

PEA AM AN and Avesta. The call for its repetition was unanimous. The part of Emmeline was sus; t t e ate u d se by i - ren M e iss rai K reg am. re v t more frequently in the course of the Opera. The scene in which Emmeline is restored to sight was acted by Miss Kama to the life. The surprise and delight o f Emmeline, when sh., first perceives the Heaven, were exquistely described by Miss KELLY. Pure nature breathed in every artless word she uttered.— in every look she gave—and in every action and ges ture which the unexpected gift of a new sense induced. This scene was enthusiastically applauded. The spirit Philidd was agreeably represented by Miss Oovra an. who is considerably improved both in her acting and singing.. Mr. Tuoawe appeared as the fiend Grimbald, and acquitted himself satisfactorily. At the conclusion of the Opera "God save the King" was sung by the whole of the company, standing and u n. covered. The Opera was succeeded by a newMrlodrama, from the pen of Mr. PEACE, Entitled The Cornish Miners. The subject is " a native here," and is latelligible to ail. ryirms and his son Slepiess are miners, and have very meetly bete ten in a lawsuit, in which Temilliess, Mather miner, was the plalotif.

The mule was well selected, and the scenery was well heaped and wainscoted. Much more machinery than usual seemed to be in request s and Mr. O. Sumo is entitled to great praise for the arrange. meat of the melodramatic action. The Proprietors have spared no expense in dresses and decorations for the new Melo-drama. They are `really of the most costly description. The views of the Town of St. Austell in the distance, the Shaft or ea trance to the Mine, the Gallery of the Mine, the Ma niac's Den, with the rising of the waters, &c. afford es cellent specimens of the perfection to which the att of scam painting has of late arrived. The different performers on their first entrance were warmly greeted ; the performances, though curtailment will benefit them, gave much satisfaction ; and the -oouncement of the repetitions was received with great applause by a crowded house. Anecdote of Captain WIND; the Architect, who built Buckingham House, not known to Lord Oaroao : This mansion, the residence of Jose Sn e, Duke of Buckingham, had an inscription upon the friese, " Ssa aid latester Larts."— When the edifice was Deafly finished, the arrears of payment were most distressing to the architect. Wuuse enticed his Grace to mount upon the leads to enjoy the grand prospect; whist the Duke was there, Wises coolly hocked the trapdoor, and threw the key to the ground, addresdng his astonished Patron—" I am • rained man, and unless I have your word of honour that the debts shall he paid, I will instantly throw myself over."

Dr. Tunrow was so great a favourite with Lord MANSFIELD, that on sending him to Paris to attend Lord &resistors, who was ill there, he pronounced him to be decidedly one of the ablest of our physicians. This gave offence to an experienced veteran, who re torted, that " though his Lordship might be an old . lawyer, yet, in this instance, he was but a young judge. A Spanish Ambassador one day said to Henry IY. that he would fain have known his Ministers, that he might have addressed each of them according to his cha'acrer. " You shall know them immediately," sa.d the King, and calling them separately into his presence, addressed to each of them the following words:— " The ceiling of this room is in a dreadful state; I must have it repaired." Sillery, the Chancellor, replied, " Your Majesty ought immediately to have the wan. tects consulted; let the thing be examined into, but let us not, at the same time, proceed too rashly." Vile• roy, upon 'the same observation being repeated, replied without looking up, " Your Majesty is pet lectly is the right, the ceiling is frightful to look at." T!.. President, Jeannin, when called in, bluntly said, " I don't know what your Majesty means; the ceiling is in excellent condition, and will last longer than e Der of us."— T " You now know them all," said the King, turning ro the- Ambassador; " the Chancellor is always undecided ; Villeroy is • always of the same °O M " a I am ; and Jeannie, as you see, is no fi it:ettr." feta T Awl) as•C otliP Wat. ca, a poem to tlit HM that i Natal be an Lam for Sarah Fa Fracti Pr.
