COMUITT& OF bIIPPLY. Teoo PA II , _ llB ma we I that ustity s tbt bets' natty had !teeny arrived--(ffatr). He. was connected with a county - which was as usuct s afilicted by the late distresses is any other; and those distresses were felt quite as severely among the agricultural as any other classes; end he besought the House to guard , against the delthion that- the distress was by any means con fined to the manufacturing interests. He would not nevertheless anticipate, by any expression of his sentiments at present, the opinion which be should feel it his duty to lay before the House when the great.questiouslieuld came before them after the holidays; but be )ioped the Government would not conceive themselves entitled to crowd further than they have done. • liet the contingency arrive 6fore the remedy should be adopted. . Mr. W. WHITMORE thought there could not be a greater proof of thestrangeness of the laws in question, than the necessity which now occurred, for the third time, of suspending them; nor a severer censure on the spirit in which they were framed, than the general. feeling of approbation 'which that suspension in the present instance appeared to excite in the House. Colonel WOOD wished the Hon. Member who had just sat down, had followed the example of the Hon. Member for Kent, and refrained from those . sweeping enndemnstions of the law which was to come before the House after the holidays. And it would be well too t the Hon: Member would endeavour, in the mean time, to learn the true nature of that Isw ; for among he numberless publications whiCh the subject had called iorth, he found one pamphlet written by (he believed) sis Hon. Friend, which made the necessity for a little' inquiry very apparent. The Hon. Member then en :ered into a chain of argument on the subject of the pamphlet, which called for the occasional demonstration f impatience from the House. The Hon. Member had :alien into the track which had been followed by the public press-for the last year, than which nothing could ore mere erroneous and delusive. He regretted - the pro position for prolonging the indemnification of Ministers, and thought it would be better a great deal the wholt questi n should be .decided at once—(Hear). Or, if it were to he hung up until after Christmas, he hoped, some measure would be taken to put down those aggravating efforts an the part of the press, to persuade the people that the repeal of bete laws. would remedy all the evils. Mr. WESTERN was entirely of opinion that Ministers were usthorised by eircum,tances in the course they bad followed. Mr.. WODEHOUSE expressed the same opinion. Mt. CALCRAF r had just two words to say. Mi nisters, he thought, had acted wisely, and could not with propriety have xcted otherwise than they.did. He, in common with others, felt great inconvenience in the postponement of the question ; but as he hoped Govern- ment for good reasons had made up their minds on the subject, be would not say any tking to provoke a discussion--( Hear, bear).—They were all united in a wish to allay animosities, and they were sincere in tbat feast's, they would not meddle with the topic until it was finally and fully discussed. Mr. BMW and tdr. Luria both spoke in favour of the Re -1 WAITJ-IMAN said that every Member repreient the whole community, and not class or interest. It was even his duty the welfare of posterity. Such was his and these sentiments he had expressed to He would riot -pay Ministers anything in compliment—indeed they had received so much eu thought they must nauseate any addition to it; but be had they not acted as they did. they would have dereliction of duty. wished to know why the question was lwever satisfied Gentlemen might be in that doors unanimously the voice prevailed ~ question at once. • Ministers simply said, ig the subject forward at a distant day, • to have stated their reasons for deferring imerous Petitions which would pour in from immediate discussion. could not fail to came repeated question corrtrary to the recommendation of the r Kent. He had heard much 4 111,011 t agricultural interests; but no one spoke of the interests of was then put from the ChM?, and mad. measly agreed to. blr. HUSKISSON next proposed a Resolution respecting the amount of duties Wise imposed on certain species of grain, which was also carried unanimously. The House then resumed, and the Report of tbe Conunittee *as ordered to be received on Monday next. The Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Com mittee of Supply having been moved, when the questiosa was put from the Chair, • Mr. BROGDEN rose. Before the Speaker left the Chair, he said he felt bound to say a few words in refe rence to the attacks which had been made on his cha racter. He was not conscious of having done any thing which could detract from the credit he had maintained in two successive Parliaments. He was, he knew, the marked object of calumnies, and he was placed in the unfortunate situation of having his character taken from him by anonymous publications. He tendered himself to examination, and he hoped the House would dp him justice. He bowed to the storm, but be was confident that the fair weaiser would come. He had promised the worthy Alde(man who had alluded to his conduct that be would not shrink frog( boestillation- On man occasions bad be received the indulgence of Parliament ; all be asked Dow was justice. Mr. Secretary CANNING said there could be.but one (cling in the House as to the appeal which had been made to their justice.* For his own pan, though he availed himself of the Hon. Gentleman's withdrawing his pretensions to the Chair for the present, yet shOuld become out with unblemished character from the in vestigation which he challenged, he was sure the House would be sorry to have made such arrangements as would preclude him from occupying the same place among them which he bad before held with so much ability. in the ordinary course of the House, there would ceitainly be a thousand opportunities, when the day.rumours, which reached them, would inevitably prove inconvenient to the House and disagreeable to the Hon. Gentleman himself, of discharging the duty of Chairman. He fe't that the worthy Alderman opposite, who had meilaced a charge, was bound to afford the Hon. Gentleman an opportunity of justifying his cha racter, and it was only after a full exculpatilis that he proposed to restore him tp ,ble . formet situation. Mil the proper opportunity arrived, he Vaned propose a Gentleman for their Chair man, who was an old Member of the House; and who, though be regarded the Chais as a worthy object of ambition, would yet rejoice in the occasion which would render it necessary for him to resign it to Ili original possessor. Mv. Aldesman WAITH MAN disclaimed all personal feeling towards the Hon. Member; but even if the Rt. Hon. Speaker himself had had his name by any means' as , ociated with so many, and such ruinous speculations, it would have been the duty of the House to institute a severe en. vary before it bad elected him to the place he now filled. Mr. Secretary CANNING then proposed that Sir Alexandtr Grant do tate the Club, which was unanimously agreed to. Sir A. GRANT, in complying with die wishes of the House, said a few words in a low tone, expressive of his entire and heartfelt concurrence in the s . ittiments of the Right Hon. Secretary. Nothing would give him greater pleasure than the finding himself obliged to resign the situation with which they had honoured , him, to the Hon. Gentleman who had for so long a period occupied it with so much ability. The House then resolved itself into a Committee, when the motion "that a Supply be granted tO his Majesty," was put and carried unanimously. The House then resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received' on Monday.--Adjourned at boor o'CLocit to Monday.. solution.

By a vessel which arrived here on the 3d of Novem• ber, in ten days from Tchesme, we (earn that the Ans.: trien metchantmen, which sailed from Alexandria, under convoy of his Majesty's brig Emo, had happily arrived at Smyrna, with the exception of the brig Buona Fede, Captain Paola Giurovich, which had, the Misfortune to run foul in the dark of the General Pau lucci brigaptine, in cdnsequence of which it was obliged to put back to Alexandria to repair. From that port k afterwards sailed without convoy, and was attacked 'on the way by a Greek brig, which plundered it of part of its cargo and gear. Several English and Russian, and four Austrian vessels, have been attacked by Greek pirates off the coast . of Caramania, and robbed of part of their cargo. By the same arrival we learn that the Austrian brigantine Con - tessa Porica, Captain Vocassovich, had been attacked near Cerise, by two Greek pirates, a Mistic and a Trotta. The crew of the brigantinti defended themselves bravely, and repulsed the pirates, who had already boarded them. In this engagement, in which the pirates were very roughly handled, one man of the grew of the brigantine was laded, and another modally wounded. The Osierphors Trichina which communicates the above Intel. ligence, gives also the following account, of the 4th of November The Austrian Imperial brig Orion met a pirate and gave duce. The pirate led to the Isle of Them's, where it war attacked 'and taken by the long boat of the brig; We learn also by the same channel, that the numerous convoy which lately sailed • from Eante, under convoy of the Austrian brig of warVeloce, have arrived sale at Smyrna. AUGSBURG, Novanses 17. On the 15th of this month, the University, now removed from Lindsbut to Munich, was opened for the first time with great so lemnity. Tue Students and Professors went in procession through the city to St. Michael's Church, where Divine Service was cele brated ; after which the procession returned in the same order to the Church of the Gymnasium, which was chosen as the aula for that day, where the company invited for the occasion had meantime assembled. At 12 o'clock his Majesty arrived, with Prince Cbaries and Prince Maximilian, and was received with every mark of re spect. If his Majesty, by removing the University to Munich, gave a proof of his paternal care for the advance of science, and a more comprehensive education of youth, and at the same time gave to the capital a new and important source of prosperity; the honour he Confetrrd cn the Uni'versity, by beingpresent 'at the opening, gave more weight to the interest his Majesty takes in so important an institution. Dr. V. Dresch, Aulic Counsellor' and Professor, delivered an excellent discourse on the sciences, and their influence on the affairs of life. In addition to the extracts in the last page, we subjoin the following, from American Papers received this morning: CA avuhavou. The Government Is very much embarrassed for the want of money, and the taxes Increase daily. Ten days ago we were desired to attend a Meeting at the Govern:lse ,t House, for the purpose of begging a Loan of 40.000 dollars. The Intendant laid before us the extreme distress of the Province—.that there were not funds in the Treasury to provide rations for the soldiers—and that, for two days, they were without. To conclude.; we are all obliged to dub down a something,and I believShey are as equally bad off at Bogota. In the House of Commons last night, Mr. Hunts . - SON brought forward his Resolution to indemnify those who advised the issuing the Order in Council, dated , the Ist of September, for the admission of Foreign Grain, and a second Resolution, that the same rate of Duties should be continued till the I.sth of February next. The Right Honourable Member made out an incontrovertible case; for if Ministers had not advised the measure, they would have incurred a heavy respon. sibility, when, from the state of the harvest, and its . Gillum, particularly in Barley and Oats, it was -Deem eery to obtain a speedy-supply from abroad. Mr.llue ,trasog, in the course of his speech, observed; that at present there was not a half crop of Oats in the Country. In the course or. the diicussion the necessity of the mea sure adopted to procure a supply was admitted on al sides ; but every, Member who spoke, carefully abstained from giving any opinion on the Corn Laws. Mr. Hume was of opinion that the question relating to a revision or a repeal of the Corn Laws, should bre brought forward without delay. The Resolutions proposed by Mr. This- K mow, were carried unanimously, and we r e o r d ere d to he re ported on Monday. On the aipointment of Chairman of the Committee of Supply and Ways and ?deans, the office formerly filled by Mr. BROOININt that Gentleman oddresied the House and said, that while he re mained the victim of anonymous calumnies, it would not be con sistent with hid feelings to undertake theollice. Mr. CAmmio approved of this Resolution, and proposed Sir A. Gum', who would, he said, feel great pleasure in resigning the once to Mr. BROOMS, as soon as that Gentleman should have freed himself from any moral taint.

STANSART AN$ BRITISH MINING COUP* NT.....rA meeting of the Shareholders of the above Company. was held in Batson s, yesterday, Mr. Robertson in the Chair. There were only fourteen Gentlemen in the room. Mr. Robertson said, although in point of number s, the meet ing was small, it represented a large majority of the Shareholders of the Company.—He. of hjniself,ond by proxy, held 660 shares, and altogether in the room, there were the representatives of 1,200 out of a otal of about 1,600 shares sold. He added, that the case in the Vice Chancellor's Court had been dismissed, solely on account of an informality. The Bill against the Di rectors was filed by five persons, as Trustees for thereat, and the Vice Chancellor held that they could riot file a bill as Trustees; but that in any bill to be filed every party to it could represent no one but himself. It was the opinion of the Attorney General, and of Mr. Knight, whom the Trustees had consulted, that if this inform ality was removed, not only was there an almost positive certainty of the bill's passing, but, on the me, its of the question, there was a probability of success.—A Share. holder asked the state of the funds subscribed fOr car rying on the suit ?
