Mr. HOBTIOUSE gave notice of a Motion for the 15th of :Tune, with respect to the power exercised by Judges of im posing a fine on persons wno might publish proceedings in a .'outt of Justice before they were brought to a conclusion. He as sorry that this question should be taken up by a Member lice htilself, but unleis some Member possessed of more legal l.iarafledge than he could pretend to would undertake to bring it before the llause, he should feel it to be his bounden duty, on or :15uut tit day he had named, to submit to them a Resointim on ads 5111).p:et.

DE CREST' GN Y complained of some partial As sessments in Kent, whire, in a certain Parish, some persons were rated to the highest amount, while others paid nothing.

MatAarmors Accmeter—Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, as two yaang lads, nam..d WILKINS and STENIF.NS, whose parents reside in Peter-street, Westminster, were sailing in a small boat, near the Red-House, Eattersea, not being competenent to manage the sail, tkeb-Jat was epset. STLPTIENS could swim, but his com panion grasped him round the middle, and was seen struggling With him two or three time above water; they both, however, sunk, and were not seen more. A waterman who witnessed the accident, immediately rowed to the spot, but he was too late to render the unfortunate youths any assistance. Accuever AT run lhatintsnam i'maaras.—Tuesday evening, seven persons employed in the re-building of the Theatre, were dreadfully injured by the breaking of a beam at the back of the stage ; one of them died almost immediately after be was taken to tl.e Hospital.

The Grampound Disfranchisement Bill was read a second time, last night, in the House of Commons, and ordered to be committed on Friday week. The discussion was interesting. The House is perfectly agreed that Grampound should be disfranchised, but different opinions are entertained as to the transfer. The Bill proposes the transfer to be to Leeds ; Lord CAsmenEoGn, to the Hundred; Mr.WYNN, and some other Members, to the West Riding of Yorkshire.— Lord CASTLEIMAGII'S precedent for transferring it to the Hundred, is quite modern, and, in our opinion, ought not to be followed. The County of Cornwall returns alone nearly as many Members to Parliament as all Scotland; and, therefore, it would be wise when any of the Boroughs in that County forfeit their franchise, to transfer the right to other Counties or Towns, not adequately represented. This, we say, is what would be proper; but judging by the usual pro cedure, u•e think Ministers will carry their measure, and only extend the right to the Hundred, thereby giving additional votes to men who are already repre sented, and who actually vote personally for other Representatives. We learn by advices from Ceylon, of the 20th Ja nuary, that there have been recently some symptoms of another insurrectionary movement in the interior of that Island. A Native Priest, who advances some pretensions to the Throne of Kandy, and who was very active in the late Rebellion, but had contris d to escape apprehension, has been renewing his ma chinations. He has, however, been foitunately laid hold of, and, if he does not meet with a severer fate, will accompany the other Native Chiefs, all of whom are thus now in our possession, to the Isle of France, to which it has been resolved to exile them. Lieutenant-General BROWNRIGG was to sail for England, in the Eclipse, about the end of January. Lieutenant-Colonel WATSON bad arrived from England, to take the command of the Artillery. The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived at a late hour this forenoon.—The second debate in the Cham ber of Deputies, on the Project of Election Law, occupies nearly the whole of their columns. The Chamber of Peers have had another day's sitting in the case of Louvel, which ended in a second adjourn ment of the reading of the Committee's Report, and relative documents. The Spanish Infanta, DONA LOU( SE..CII A RLOTTE, spouse of the Infant Don FRAN crs PAUL, was on the 6th instant safely delivered of , a son, who has received the name of FRANcors D'Assizes LOUIS-TERDINA ND, and is to take the title of Duke of Cadiz.—French Five per Cents. Tues day, 73 fr. soc. The report in all the Papers of yesterday of the concluding sentence of Mr. BROUGHAM'S speech in the Court of Chancery, was, we understand, incor rectly given. He did not say. that the cause of the delay there alluded to would be removed by the im , mediate return of her MAJESTY; his observation was, that the cause of complaint, viz. the want of her MAJESTY'S answer in the suit, would be removed im mediately on her return.—The article in•the Monitcur that arrived yesterday, stating that her MAJESTY had arrived at Auxerre on the 11th, and had left it on the 14th for Paris, must be incorrect. The QUEEN could not have been at Auxerre (which is two-thirds of the way from Geneva to Paris) on the 11th.— Colonel VASALI lefeher at Geneva on the 12th. It is hardly possible that she could have been at Auxerre even .on the 13th. The venerable PRESIDENT of the Royal Society is about to retire from the high office which he has so long filled with so much honour to himself, and such extensive good to the scientific and literary charac ter of his country. Possessing hereditary distinction, an independent fortune, and universal respect, Sir JOSEPH BANKS rendered all these advantages the pa trimony of the learned of all nations. His house was a common centre where every individual, whether native or foreigner, of the slightest philosophical pre tensions, was sure to meet with countenance, advice, and protection. " So simple," says the illustrious foreigner DioT, gg so easy in his kindness, it almost seemed as if he felt the obligation were on his part; and, at the same time, so good that he left us all the pleasure of gratitude. What a noble example of a protection whose sole authority is founded in esteem, respect, free and voluntary confidence ; whose titles consist only in an inexhaustible good will, and in the recollection of services rendered ; and the long and uncontested possession of whick necessarily sup poses rare virtues, and exquisite delicacy, more es. pecially when we recollect that all this power is formed, maintained, and exercised among equals." —The nomination of a proper sucpessor to such a President as Sir JOSEPH BANKS, is a matter of no ordinary difficulty ; and the best proof of it is, the number of individuals who have been already pro posed for the high situation. Among others we have heard of, are his Royal Highness the Duke of Sus- SEX, his Royal Highness Prince LEOPOLD, the Duke of SOMERSET, Earl SPENCER, Earl MORTON, Sir HUMPLRY DAVY, and Mr. DAVIES GILBERT, M.P. —The last Gentleman, Mr: DAVIES GILBERT, is at present one of the Vice-Presidents of the Society, and will be the locum tcnens of the Presidency till the vacancy is filled up. THE ARMY. A notice has been published, that the two Regi ments of Militia of the County of Essex, are not to assemble till the 31st instant, in consequence of the clothing not being in a sufficient state of forwardness for an earlier assemblage, as was intended. The South Devon Regiment of Militia, when em bodied for 28 days training, will not muster 200 men ; the strength of the corps, as regulated for the - Peace Establishment, or rather the disembodied strength thereof, is 100 rank and file. Every pre paration is making for assembling the Regiment, at Plymouth, on the 29th inst. The East Kent Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry are ordered to assemble in Canterbury, for three days' permanent duty, on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of June next, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel GAR RETT, on one of which days the Marquis of CAM DEN, the Lord Lieutenant of the County, has signi fied his intention of inspecting them.

Dr. Dobson, of the Chatham Division of the Royal Marines, who was originally appointed to Haslar Hospital, on the :5.1 in stant, obtained leave-so,decline the appointment, in consequence of the illness of a daughter, who died on the 12th instant, his parental feelings not permitting him to quit his child at so cri tical a moment. REVOLT OF ALI PACHA.—According to inferma. tion received at Venice, by a vessel from the lonian Islands, which left Corfu on the 26th of April, it ap pears that Au PACHA, of Albania, had been called to Constantinople, by the GRAND VIZIER, to account for his conduct; but that he had refused to obey the summons, and had raised the standard of revolt against the Porte. It was added, that both Greeks and Turks had taken the oath of allegiance to him, and that he was at Prevesa, organizing his army.— It was reported at Corfu, that ALL had declared himself king of Epirus, and- that to attach to his in terests the Greek population, which is by far the most numerous in his States, he had caused himself to be baptized. AnticA.—The account of the Travels of M. MoL LIEN in the Interior of Africa, published by Mr. BOWDICH, excites considerable interest. Although the failure of this Expedition in its great object has made it con venient to suppress its history in his Work, yet it is well known in Paris, that it was concerted by the Government at the same moment as that of Au Bre, the project being for the two tra vellers to meet at Timbucteo ; Au BEV starting from Cairo, and M. Motusts from the Senegal, there to assist and co-ope rate with each ether. The first notice of the return of M. Mot.. urn proclaimed his having been within a few miles of Timbuc too ; it appears, however, by his own account, thak• his ultimate point was Timbe, at which place he arrived by a circuitous route, which has produced much new and curious information. AFRICAN INSTITITTION.—Wednesday the Annual Meeting of the D:rectors and Friends of the African Institution took place at the Freemasons' Hall, his Royal Highness the Duke of Gii.ou ensue in the Chair, supported by Lord Ciaritoare, Lord COMPTON, Mr. WILSRRYORCE, Mr. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM. Mr. PARTON Coaxer, and many other distinguished friends of this admirable Institution.—Mr. Ha RZISON, the Honorary , .Secre tary, then read the Report of the Directors fer the last year. The Report, which was able and voluminous, alluded to the efforts of the Directors to have the wholesale system of blood and carnage carried on by the Slave Trade, declaiud by rhe,Lnw of nations a piratical crime, and regretted that such a course had not been adopted by the Allied Powers at the Congress of Aix la-Chapelle. Still, however, they thought that it ought to be so ' &clued towards British subjects found engaged in the traffic. The Report narrated a variety of instances in which:this detest able traffic was still carried on under the Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch flags, as well as by .French subjects ; ' and under C:r cumstances of the most revolting cruelty. Mr. PARTON CORSET moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Directors, whose rrai_ was, he said, above all eulogy. Lords Comrrox, JocaLrN, and Mr. HUSICISSON were added to tlse list of Vice-Presidents; and Sir GEORGE COLLIER was elected an Honorary life Governor, for his great services on the coast of Africa, during two succes sive seasons. Thanks were then voted to their Royal Chairman, the Illustrious President of the Institution. Ilis &mat 11/OH NE[S, in returning thanks, hoped it would be unnecessary for him to renew his assn: ante of the watm interest he continued to,. feel In this great and glorious cause : he fully agreed that there never was a time in which it was more necessary to strain every nerve to promote the interests of the Institution. The thanks of the Meeting were then given to Mr. Ha amok, the Honorary Secretary; and Mr. iloang was elected an Honorary Life Go. vernor ; and after the usual Officers for the ensuing year were elected, the :14d:1g adjourned.
