'tile JAM a SHAW said, that he could not 'col. lett l'r 'm the Hon. Gentleman, whi:4r it wets hi, intention 'to protect the foreign trader fions the 'ape Leib,, of the Bill, as if that wat not the case, he *should feel It is (lacy to oppose it. No part of the arsons he mention A came under theirnathatiou of fraud, which it was the ohject of the Bill to prevent, :red Which was chiefly confined to the *manufacturing io4rns, where the gOods of fraudulent trader's were sold, or the priverty which was plundered from em pluyt4t. if the objection he stated was removed, he shoOld give his warm support to the Bill, which 1 ,e thooght extremely necessary. ~ Mr. Alderman COMBE said a few words in sup. Pert of the Bill, which had his warm approbation. Mr. PROTHEROE said, that he had felt a severe disappointment at the declaration of the Honourable Gentleman Who had introchiced the former till, that the wlsok measure should stand or fall together, and hoped he would on the present occasion be disposed to pay attention to the wants and wishes of a large portion of die community, without suffering any considerations of revenue to prevent,his supporting it.—He hoped the House would give every facility to the progress of the Bill, and that Ministers would yet, in the midst 'of the rejoicings which the Inc glo :it its successes had g iven rise to, damp by disap. pointmept any portion of the country. Mr. W. SMITH said, that the Bill in question was one which was extremely wanted, and likely to be productive of unmixed good. The other Bill whichhad been introduced was in many respects vexatious, and he had many doubts on its principle, none of which Occurred, to him on the present measure. Mr. DAVENPORT merely rose to express his approbation of the Bill, and to state his knowledge Of the evils which existed from the practices it was ' intended to put an end to by the present measure. Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS felt sincerely ob liged to the Hon. Gentleman for the trouble he had taken on the present occasion, which he should have felt it his duty to have encountered if he had not done So. The expression Mock Auction was of an inde finite nature; but there unquestionably was a great evil which required a remedy. The' regulatior. rela. tive to foreign goods was not easy, but in the clause already existing, there was a relation relative to co. lrnial goods sold witain a certain period. A ureat evil arose froin the necessity of forcing goods into the 'market by 'pawnbrokers at certain periods ; and there were other evils which people supposed an Act of Parliament must remedy, which in reality slid not always arise from fraudulent practices, but from cir cumstances of distress in the. parties. The present snearire was, however, calculated to do much good, and he readily supported it. Tht CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that though he had not wished to submit any partial measure to the House upon this subject, he thought the Hon. Gentleman entitled to thanks ter introducing the. resent measure, and he was desirous f • , of lending him all the support in his power—(Hear.) He was of opinion, at the same time, that the Hon. r Gentleman would do well to confine himself to the provisions in the printed Bill, as far as they were con. sistent with his object, as there was so little time re maining for considering any new clauses ; and the ! subjcfct branched with great variety. By this selec ticn he would promote his present purpose, and he could remedy any ihficiency which might afterwards appear, in the next Session. Mr. Alderman ATKINS said, that if the Hon. Celia man would consent to the proposition of the Right Km. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he was sure the House would unite in forwarding the pro gress i f the measure, and the country would thank him for the part he had taken. Mr. WHARTON said, there was no difficulty in snaking the eXception in fivour of importing mer chants, and having done this, the Bill would be of great service. - Mr. LOCKHART expressed his readiness to adopt the suggest.ons which were thrown cut, and to ;no:lily the 8,11 acc, rdingly. Leave w.,s then given, and the Honourable Gen tleman subsequently brought in the Bill, which was riad a first time, and ordered to be zead a second tin:e tO.lllOl7OlVa COTTON TRADE. , THE EVENING STAR.

The official Journal contains nothing • on the subject of the affairs of Spain, but the Journal ele Parii, of the 2d, contains an attfcle from Perpig nan, which states, that an Anglo. Spanish army, 13,00 strong, which had disembarkea in the Bay of Salon, *near Tarragona, had been defeated and forced to re-embark with the loan of S or 4,0'60 in There is an anxiety visible in the French Papers to hold out prospects of a pacific nature as likely to re sult lroM the Armistice. Prague is now mentioned as the place where the Congress is likely to assemble, I and where an English Agent, named ADDINGToN,, has arrived. We presume, this alludes to the mis sion of Mr. ADDINOTOI4, the son of Mr. HtLev AD- 1 DINOTON, who was dispatched some time ago on a mission to the Continent, and whose education and splendid talents eminently qualify him for the highest diplomatic functions. BONAPARTE continues at Dresden, where reinforce ments of troops daily arrive; and, intermixed with these solemn preparations for fresh atrocities, we are told, teat a French and Italian company of come ' dians is to exhibit alternately Wore the EMPEROR ! The Emperor ALEXANDER is described as having none but diplomatists near his person. We know what this is intended to convey ; but we have a better opinion of the EMPEROR's firmness and magnanimity than to suppose that his military ardour is in the least abated by any event which Las occurred during the campaign. The arum. of last night contains the particulars of a most gallant and successful achievement off the coast of Provence, by the boats of the Berwick and Euryalus, in which a French national xebeck, and 13 smaller vessels, were taken or destroyed. The Gazette also contains a letter from Captain ADAM, of the Invincible, detailing the particulars of two successful attacks made by parties from the In vincible, in conjunction with a Spanish force detach ed by the Baron D'Etioevs, on two posts occupied by the enemy near the Ebro ; a letter from Capt. Mott- BRAY, of the Repulse, detailing the capture of a con voy near the port of Morgien, by the Repulse, Vo lontaire, and Undaunted; and a letter from Captain TAYLOR ) of the Apollo, giving an account of the cap-, ture of the Islands of Augusta and Curzola. Yesterday the Vestrymen of the parish of St. Mary. la-bonne assembled at the workhouse of the parish, and proceeded from thence in procession to the New Chapel, building on the South side of the New-road, where the Minister of the parish, the Rev. Archdeacon Helene, as the representative of his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND, accompanied by Captain GEORGE DARBY, the Churchwarden, the Clergy, Magistrates, and Ttiomas HARDWICK, Esq. the Architect, laid the first stone, and the Archdeacon read in an andible• tone and impressive manner the beautiful prayer of SOLOMON at the dedication of the Temple. CANADA. —Yesterday a Meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, to open a Subscription for the Rel:ef of the people of Canada, taken from their homes, and put to considerable inconvenience by de fending that district. Soon after twelve o'clock. , the Duke of KENT tof)k the Chair. His Royal high. ;less cornieenced by Stating the loyalty which had uniformly distinguished his Majesty's subjects in Ca nada. On the appearance of invasion, they had filled up the ranks in the Militias with an alacrity truiy laudable. The Militias in Canada were subject to many hardships and disadvantages not known in England. Their families were unprovided for, and by the neglect of agriculture, they lost their only support. His Royal Highness concluded by moving several Resolutions, which were seconded by Mr. JoitN Isoi.ts Mr. Jacicacia made a few observations, and bore testimony to the loyalty and patriotism of the Canadians. A subscription was immediately oper.ed, and the contributions, as far they went, were very liberal. FlRE.—This morning, between six and seven o'clock, a fire broke out at a baker's shop in Snows fields. From the number of old wooden houses ad joining and the extensive premises of Messrs. Wood and Co. in which is a quantity of fl and hemp, it excited a considerable degree of :ilium, but tottu• nately, by the prompt eats Lions or the neighbours and die arrival of the fire-engines and tin immediate sup ply of water, prevented its ravages extending farther tean the two adjoining houses, which, with the pre. pises where it broke out, were entirely consumed. The C"mmittee on the Act relative to the ;viper. tatinn of cotton, was postponed till to-morrow, atter p few observa;ions from Mr. Alderman ATKINs, and Mr. DAVENPORT (in opposition to the postponement), and the CIIANCELLOR of the EXCLIEQUER / who said that no bl :nie was attributable to the Honourable .Alderman for the delay. STAMPS ON SANK NOTES. Mr. THOltibON, though not now prepared to propose any measure on the sob:tett, wished to have some explanation from the Chancellor of the Exche quer, relative to the composition paid by the Bank of .liigiancl for the stamp duties on their notes. This Arapocition only amounted to se4t,ooo per annum, while the Country Bankers paid £lso,ooo—a prepo. sition very unfair, in his opinion. The Bank of Scot land, then, was a similar composition; with this dif fertnee, that he believed they gave in an account of the %hole issee ; but had no stamp on each note as the Country Bankers were obliged to have. There were notes of a wry large amount issued by the Bank of England, and it was rather 'hard that the Country Bankers should pay for their small notes above 50,000, while the Bank of England paid but .442,000 for all together. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the present composition had been originally founded on a scale of proportion, as it was thought the most convenient method ; but since that period, the stamp duties had increased, and the consequence had certainly been favourabfe to the Bank of Eng land. Whetherit was wise to continue the existing , system of composition. remained to be considered ; and though lie had no present intention of making any proposition upon the subject, lie had no doubt, that should his Huu. Friend bring it forward upon a future occasion, that the Bank 01 England would be disposed to enter into any fair arrangement that should be proposed. Mr;THOMSON was about to offer some further observations, when the SPEAKER reminded him that there was no question before the House.—Adjourned. A fttii.

CORN-MARKET, MARK-LANE, JULY 7. We bad no fresh arrivals of any Crain this morning, when very few sales of Wheat were effected, there being scarce any demand; but Fine Wheat obtained Monday's Friers, and the ordinary qualities were rather lower. Barley is dull of sale, and scarcely supports the prices of la.t market-day. Thu-supply of Oars being large, and having but few buyers, the sales w"re heavy, at a decline of is. per quarter. In Peas, Beans, and other arti cles, there is no variation. The celebrated and valuable horse, Wizard, the property of CHRISTOPHER WILSON, Esq. of Elmsall Lodge, died on Tuesday List, in consequence of an accident he met with on the preceding Sunday in the stable yard, by forcibly running upon a bar that stood upright, and at the end of which was an iron bolt, which perforated the horse's bicast near the plate vein, broke three of his ribs, and fixed so strongly in the back bone, as to require the united strength of two men with instruments to extract it.

A Telegraphic Message, from Plyniooth, has al nounced at the Admiralty, this afternrx n, the c tune of the Chrsopeaie American frigate, after a de perate and well fought action with the SHANhON BI • tish frigate. The 511424N0N was towing her pi-it into Plymouth when the telegraphic message w communicated. The SHANNON is commanded by Captain BROKE and mounts 38 guns. Sbe was one of the large fri gates sent to the Halifax station on the first hreale ing.out of the war with America. The Situcteni was built in 1806, and is what is termed a crad shij in the navy, in point of discipline. The Chesapeake, like all the American frigates, it in reality a fifty-gun ship, although rated at thirty' six guns. The action took place on the glorious Ist of Juni the ever-memorable era of Lord Howes victory. ' 6 Captain BROKE, who commands the Sianno is one of the most gallant and experienced Officer of the Navy. He was made Post-Captain in 1801. This is the second capture of an American man I war by the Suatimmv. It was this frigate whic raptured the NAUTILUS American sloop of war, rate at 16 guns, but carrying 24.
