One change recommended by that Committee, in the Navigation Laws, was to the following effect; — that whereas certain goods, which I ha►e already de scribed as known in trade under the designation of •' enumerated artidels," could only be imported in British ships, or in ships of the country in Europe of which they were the produce, and directly from that country, it was the opinion of the Committee that the law ought to be so fir relaxed, as to allow the importation of these articles in the ships of any country into which they had been previously imported. The recommendation of the Committee was adopted by the Legislature. That this relaxation has been bene ficial to our Co7nriserce and Navigation is now, I be lieve, placed beyond all doubt. It afforded a great facility to the execution of another project, emanating from the same Committee, and since alto carried into effect ;—that of establishing a gener.ll system of ware housing, so as to make this country a place of entrepot for all foreign commodities. It was obviously impossi ble to give full scope to this system, unless we were prepared to allow greater latitude to the admission of foreign goods. The superior capital and credit of this country afford inducements to send those goods here, and their being deposited in British warehouses gives a facility to the British merchant and shipowner to sup ply the demand for them in other parts of the world, through the medium of British adventure and British shipping, instead of their being sent directly to those parts in foreign shipping, from the countries of Europe in which such goods are produced. It was desirable, therefore, for the interest of our foreign trade, that we should no longer rigidly adhere to that part of the Navigation Act which prohibited the importation of the " enumerated articles," if brought from countries other than those of which they were the produce. Such a restraint, it is hardly necessary to say, could not fail freque t y to prevent speculations of trade, in which the spirit of British enterprise would' have otherwise engaged, or to throw those speculations] into other channels. It interfered, likewise, to prevent the advantageous assoi tment of cargoes, and other coot• mercial arrangements, as well in foreign ports as is the ports r.f this country ; and, in this and many other way% contributed, directly and indirectly, to diminish the employment of British shipping. Another alteration in our Navigation System has since been adopted, which certainly ought not to have been so long delayed. This alteration consists in put. ting the trade between Great Britain and Ireland upoi the footing of a coasting trade. Every Centimes must, I think, see that, from the time of the union of the two countries, it was desirable that their interests and commercial system should be identified as much as possible. From that period it was absurd to consider the commercial intercourse with Ireland as a part of our foreign trade, and to subject the shipping employed in it to the restrictive regulations and higher charges of that.trade. But these were not the only deviations from the an cient rules of our Navigation System. The revolutions which have occurred in the political state of the world, in our time, rendered other changes indispensa ble. There has grown up over the whole Continent of America, a situation of affairs similar to that which the United Stater presented, after their separation from the moth r country. This change, from a colonial to ad independent existence, necessarily draws after it, in each paiticular case, the application of the new rule, which, as I have already stated, unavoidably grew out of the independence of the Unit , d States. The first application of that rule occurred in respect to Braid. From the moment when, in 1808, the House of Braganza transferred the seat of empiie to Brazil, that country virtually ceased to be a Colony. Great Britain had no choice but to apply the Eurorean principles to the Commerce and Navigation of Brazil, thiiugh out of Europe, and to admit Portuguese :hip ping, —and, since the separation of Poi tugal and Bra zil, l3razilian shipping,—coming from that country into our port•-, upon the same footing as the ships of any other independent nation. This principle has been extended, from time to time, as mew States have risen up in America. When I heard the Hon. Member for Grampound complain that, in our Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with Columbia. and in that with Buenos Apes, we had consented to place their navigation upon an equality with our own, I certainly listened to this charge with no small degree of surprise, being satisfied that what the Honourable Gentleman censured so severely, was the very wisest principle that this country c.,uld adopt. Those States were anxious to encourage their commercial Marine, 'by granting exclusive advantages to their own shipping, and imposing certain restrictions upon that of this country. This disposition was frequently manifested by the Ministers of those States in the course of out d.scussions with them; and certainly there are not wanting some who are constantly endeavouring to excite in these new countries a jealousy of the Naval Poste/ of Great Britain; instigating them to adopt a separate and novel code of maritime law for the New World, and to frame their Navigation system upon principles of giving a preference to their own shipping, and to that of America generally, over the shipping of this country, and of Europe. Have we acquiesced in these views? Have we com promised any of the acknowledged principles of Mari time Law? No, Sir—Whilst we . have ex; licitly refused to listen to any such compromise, we have d sarmed all suspicion as to our commercial pretensions, by frankly declaring, that we sought no exclusive advantages for British ships or British trade, and that the principle of our intercourse with the New States, as with the Old States, of the World, would be that of a fair and equal reciprocity. This brings me to the gravamen of the charge made against his Majesty's Government; namely, the step taken by them, in furtherance of this principle, by the introduction of a law, enabling the Crown, with the advice of the Privy Council, to remit all discriminating eludes on the goods and shipping of such countries, as any agree to impose no higher charges or duties upon British ships, and the goods imported therein, than aeon their own ships, and th e lik e goo d s impor ted in such ships.

Two American vessels were gene to Admen for pepper. Oa the sa of April, news from Palembang was received at Bee coolen. All was quiet ; and the resident, M. Iteyust, wu gone to Java. The disorder at Baukatiad abated. The ship Padang, which saibld last year from Antwerp, with • cargo, chiefly consisting of the produce and manufactures of the Netherlands, arrived at Padang on the 15th of April. A private letter from Groningen gives the weekly statement of deaths in that city, from 22d of June to 31st et August. During the first three weeks the numbers were 18, 19, and 53, all children under twelve years of age. From the 13th July to 10:h of August, the numbers increased weekly, amounting, from the 54 to 10th of August, to 106; 10th to 17tb, 82; 17th to '2 4:12 ,97 ; 24th to 31st, 129.-.-Thus it appears that the number of deaths increases in an alarming manner. The number of the sick amounts to some thou sands.—The population of Groningen amounts to 30,000 souls, and in ordinary times the weekly average of deaths is about twenty. It is affirmed that Dr. Fuchs, at Munich, of the Academy of Sciences, has just discovered a method of rendering wood incom bustible, and has proved the efficaciousness of it by experiment. lie has combined caustic akali in solution with a certain earthy sub stance, worked and sifted and applied on the wood, to which it gives a nitreous mane, which renders it also impervious to water and to all kinds of humidity. The architectural committee of the Theatre Royal of Munich has made trial of this method on two small buildings, one of which was prepared according to Dr. Fuchs's plan the other not. Fire having been lighted in both these buildings the one was burnt. the other received no injury. The expense of the application is only twd francs for 100 feet or two centimes per foot.

FitOh( THE 11111• LE. NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, Javr 10. The Greek Government has just published the follow- ing Proclamation, which it addresses to the free people and to zealous patriots: The Directing Couttnissieo of Gram declares u follows: When the Directing Commission took uposs itself the government of the affairs of the country, which had been confided to it by the Third National Assembly, it sincerely detailed, in its first Proclamation, the dangers to which the natiup was exposed, in consequence of the success of the enemy, the physical and moral state of our affairs, and the difficulties whiCh we had to en counter, in supplying our wants from the indigence of our Treasury. All the members of the Commission felt a real repugnance to accept these functions, and to load themselves with so heavy a burden. All their hopes were founded on the assistance of the MOST HIGH, on the hatred of the nation to tyranny, on the sincere pa triotism of the higher classes, and of the other classes of the na:ion, both civil and military. In repeating the same declarations now, after the most humble thanksgiving to the Most Hyatt, who has protected his people in the moment of peril--after the avowal, on the part of the nation, of its gratitude towards the Philhellenes and philanthropists of Europe, whose ardent zeal for the welfare of Greece daily fills our magazines with corn and other necessaries, in pro visioning our fortresses and our camps, the Government calls the nation to fly to arms with promptitude, for the last time, more certain than ever of succeeding, for never was the enemy more weakened than now, both by sea and land. Never had Greece a fleet more nu merous, more powerful, or more determined to fight; and never had the nation hopes better founded on fo reign aid. What, then, remains to carry into execution this grand plan P Nothing else, doubtless, but the union and assistance of those who inhabit the continent, and who see every day the objects most dear to them ex posed to massacre, to slavery, and dishonour. It de pends on us not to destroy the hopes of Greece and of , all the Christian world—not to dishonour the trophies obtained during the last five years—not to allow the Egyptian to boast, that after the destruction of the , greatest part of his force before llissolonghi, he will triumph over the whole of the Peninsula, and not to draw upon ourselves, by such conduct, the hatred, the , contempt, and the derision of all Europe. But whilst the Greek, armed and poor, ought to march' against the common enemy, and to shed his blood for his country, the rich and the peaceful cifzen ought, likewise to perform his indispensable duty in assisting, according to his power, by his money„the necessities of the soldier; land, above all, he ought to lend his assist once at the present moment, when, as it is well known, the Government expects no loans, and has neither re venues nor any other resource". The union of those who now reside in N.luplia in this object is at the pre sent moment our only resource, which, small though it may be, will, nevertheless, effect a great tell- f in the first wants of our warriors, and, above all, in the ne cessities of those who have immortalized their names during the terrible siege of Missolonghi, and thus con ferred glory on their country by the calamities which they endured, and the brilliant actions which they per formed in its defence. We now, therefore, call to battle the men who are able to bear arms, and we ask from others a voluntat y contribution. The Government is determined, in giving a good example, to -contribute its money, and to more!) against the enemy, despising personal dangers. In this hour of crisis it only remains for the Government to do what it has determined upon--it is its duty to do it— and it will perform that duty with promptitude.

San. B.—By the ship William, from Padang, we have news from oar possessions on the wee coast of Sumatra to the 211 d April. Perfect tranquillity prevailed there; and since the conclu sion of peace, in November, 1825, with the Padrica of Unto and other towns, commerce had been more active. The crop of coffee l had been very abundant. An American ship, the Franklin, had , taken a cargo of that article for the Netherlands; soap otben were ' TRIESTE, AUSUST 27. A ship which iefc Modon zi days ago, bring word that while it was there Iti ships of war, two of which were of the line, arrived at Navarin fromCoostantinople,to be at the disposal of IbrahimPacha, who had returned with his army to Tripelizu from Mains, where he had sustained some loss. A Mainote schooner, which interrupted trade in those seas, was attacked and roughly treated by an Aus trian schooner. Several files of American Papers to the 18th of August have been received, but their contents are unimportant. Accounts from St. Domingo state, that a French fri gate was to sail from Port-au-Prince about the fth of July for France, with about three millions of dollars, being on account of the second instalment from the Harlan Government to that of France. Letters from Carthagena of the 7th of July state that the provinces of Varenes, Maracaibo, and Comma, had not at the above date joined General PAZZ, and the prevailing opinion was that be would not succeed ; be was also endeavouring to raise a loan, in which be found great difficulty. Jamaica Papers to the 19th July have arrived. It is stated by a Gentleman from St. Jago de Cuba, that trade was very dull at Port-au-Prince; there were lately no less than twelve French merchant vessels lying there, and not a particle of produce to ship in them. ' The Paris Papers of Thursday, and German Papers to the 3d instant, have been received. The Finite al ludes to the conspiracy at Lisbon, but denies that per sons of distinction ar• implicated in the proceedings. It is probable, however, that Priests and Jesuits are in triguing to produce opposition to the Constitution, but their efforts will be unavailing. The Monks can only flourish under an arbitrary Government, when the Throne is filled by a fanatical Despot. The Conslint amine' contains a letter from the Greek Committee at Marseilles to that of Paris, which gives an account, from Smyrna, of the success of the Nlainotes over IBRAHIM, and asserts that the affairs of Greece in gene ral have taken a favourable turn. It would appear from intelligence received ft oni Constantinople, that a storm is likely soon to rage in that capital. The SULTAN and SERASICUR are every day insulted with placards, and a terrific re-action is expected. It is positively affirmed that LORD COCHRANE had arrived at Napoli di Romania on the 26th July, and was waiting for the arrival of vessels. Ws Lordship, unfortunately, we fear, will have to wait a long time, in consequence of adverse circumstances, which will daily retard his efforts in favour of suffering humanity. The first Diet of the Principality of Schwataburg Rudolstadt has ter minated its sitting of six years, after greatly reducing the public debt. The Pops is employed also in making various political reforms, combining extensive retrench ments in the Customs and Army. The Administration of Ecclesiastical Estates in the Provinces has had the same fate, being wholly abolished, and united with the Ministry of Finance. It is with the sincerest pleasure we find ourselves in a situation to congratulate our Readers on the favourable change which has taken place in the state of trade during the last fort night; the accounts from all quarters of the manufacturing dis. tricts bring us the cheering intelligence of progressive, If not of rapid, improvement. The crisis is now past ; and though the shock has been a severe one, we trust the constitution of the patient has escaped uninjured. The improvement to which we have alluded is not confined to any particular branch, it is general, and effects beneficially the whole body of our national industry. Cases of temporary distress may, and no doubt will, still occur; but, with out being considered as too sanguine, we are persuaded we may be now allowed to say, that ultimate recovery now appears certain, and that at no very distant period. It is not to be ranked amongst the least satisfactory circumstances accompanying this return to improvement in trade, and consequent national prosperity, that it has been brought about without any extraordinary interposition on the part of Government. Such an interposition, although it might have afforded momentary relief, would inevitably have operated ultimately to have increased the evil which it was intended to cure by checking individual exertion, and even feeding the disease —Superabundant manufacture, it is agreed on all hands, was the main spring of our distress, and supplying the means to continue that superabundant creation of manufactured goods from time to time, would but have been to feed the source from which the evi l sprung, to have given strength to the disease, and to have caused it to break forth at no very distant period with redoubled force, and to an extent which not even tLe united efforts of the Government, and private benevolence could have stemmed. The wisest measure which Government could have adopted is that to which they have had recourse, the opening the ports for the admission of foreign grain, for whilst t►e state of the crops on the Continent is such as to prevent any very large Impost of grain into Great Britain, the measure will still, to a certain extent,have the effect of keeping down our own mar. kets to a moderate price, and will also open a market in the way of ►arter with the Continent, to the full amount of the value of corn 1 purchased taff us, for our earn manufactured goods. Under all cir eneastances we feel convinced there are grounds for a well-founded confidenc,e on our part, that the day of trial is passed, and that, although we may not flatter ourselves with the expectation of any sudden influx of prosperity, yet that we ate in a progressive state of amelioration and improvement.

THE LATE LORD GlFFORD.—Yesterday morning, betwren eight and nine o'clock, the remains of this Nobleman, In a hearse drawn by four horses, ful!owed by only one mourning coach, arrived at the Rolls House, in Chancery-lane, from Dover. The body was, placed on tressels in the library, where, by his Lordship a particular desire, it will remain, without any state or pomp ; even candles are not to be lighted until the morning of its final removal for interment, which is filed to take place at twelve o'clock to-morrow, in the vault of the Rolls Chapel, adjoining the Court House. T he Loan CHANCKI.LOR has signified his intention of attending the funeral, which, no doubt, will be followed by the principal Law Officers and other Gentlemen of the profession. The Solicitor.

Mr. Rtst.re, who has the manage ment of them for New College, Oxford, they were attacked by a body of men, armed with sticks, from the neighbouring villages of Whictlebury and Silverstone, who drove them front the woods. took away their nuts which they had been gathering, and beat some of them very severely. HUDDER•FIELD RELIEF COMMITTEL—The number of persons still needing relief remains nearly the same as heretofore; but the funds applicable for the relief of the district were, on Friday, In such a state, as not to justify grants for more than one week to each township. On Tuesday morning, the Chairman received 500 t. from the London Committee; this will prove a most seasonable aid to those neighbourhoods which exert themselves, according to their ability, to raise means to assist the distressed in such manner as re newed deliberation shall show to be advisable and practicable. DRowNING ASLEEP.—Last week an Inquest was held at Brotherton, near York, on view of the bodies of John Hill, Harriet Hill, and their infant child, eight months old. John Hill was master of an old and very leaky open coal boat, which was at her moorings in the river Aire, nearly abreast of Brotherton ; he went on board his vessel about half past nine o'clock at night, with his wife and child; he pumped the water out of the vessel, and they all went to bed; he was heard pumping again about half past 11; and in the morning, about half past five o'clock, the vessel was discovered sunk in nine feet water, and the three poor inmates perished in the cabin.

The crows are pairing at Hall-bank, near Lockerbie, in Annandale, as they would In spring ; and building nests with as much industry as they ever did in the mouth of March. By the French Laws, if a family have no children. and adopt the child or soother, such adoption is regularly registered by the civil authorities, and the child becomes heir at law to the property of its new parents, and cannot be disinherited by any sub sequent caprice of the partsea, who are bound to support it in a manner suitable to their own rank in life. l'onx MINSTER BELLS.—Notwithstanding the boasted superiority of Bow bells, they are in every respect inferior to those of York Minster; in the first place, if we consider the aggregate weight of bell metal in each, we shall find those of York 1551b5. heavier than those of London ; whilst the elevated situation of the Minster bells in its fine capacious tower, with a clear rise of eighty feet front the bell frame to its domelike canopy for the ascension Af sound, from which it has 195 feet to descend, gives them a itch mellowness of tone, that defies all competition from any other peal lin England.
