The Noble Lord complained that the prac tice heretofore resorted to, keeping the names of those 'Cho composed private committees secret. had given .rins to the discreditable practice of producing undue Majorities. He could see no good reason why the names of public committees should be printed, and those for private bills kept secret, except from the agents and so licitors for the bill. Mr. LITTLETON begged leave to obsetwe, that it never bad been the custom to print the names of Meat ,. hers composing Private Bill Committees. The usual practice was to apply at the office of the Committee Clerk, when the names of the Committee could be had on paying 6s. Bd. .He conceived that the order made • that Session, with regard to Private Bulls, had already been productive of good consequences ; for it had given Members, when canvassed for their votes, an opportu nity of getting civilly rid of the applicants, by stating that 'bey were not on the list of Members appointed for • the Committee on that particular Bill. He should for this, and other reasons, oppose the printing of the lists. Sir EDMUND CARRINGTON. in answer to the objection that was taken to the Noble Lord's motion, diet it was a novelty, stated, that the present arrange- Alikerof :the Comosiuee was itself a novelty ; and the proposal of the Noble Lord had thirst least in common with it, that if it Were a novelty it was also an ins. provement.. Mr. Gordon, me Jebb, Mr. Home, and Mr. Batley, sappeilnd the propothien of Lord Lowther. Mr. LITTLETON. finding the sense of the House to against him, withdrew his opposition, and the motioa was agreed to. SCARE TRADE IN THR MAURITIUS. Mr. F. BUXTON seeing his Hon. Friend. the Colo sin' Secretary, in his place, would take the liberty of asking him, whether Government intended to make any farther communication to the House respecting the Slave Trade in the Mauritius? Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, that if his Hoop Friend were to propose this Session ill motion as unre. stricted to time or to place as his motion was last year, it would certainly be opposed by the Government,. Beyond that, he could say nothing at presiiii, except that whenever the Hon. Member should bring the sub ject forward, he would meet it with a full and fair die. cession. Mr. F. BUXTON then gave notice, that he would on Tuesday, the 10th of April next, bring forward a dis tinet motion on the subject. Mi. HUME moved for a voluminous mass of Re turns, relative to the number of ships employed in the export and import trade to and from Great Britain, the North American provinces, and the West Indies, during the last eleven years.—Ordered: Mr. HUME gave notice, that od Tuesday next he would bring forward a motion to inquire into the state of the Fleet Prison, and the other prisons for debt in the Metropolis. The ether Orders of the Day were then disposed of,, and the House adjourned at Suss o'Clock. EVEMNG STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1827. _ STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have received the Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday; but their contents are destitute of interest; whilst, upon that single question of general interest— the afsirs of the Peninsula—they throw no additional , light: It is true the Dods states, after a Bourdeauz Journal, that all the corps of the Spanish Army of Ob• serration have removed to i greater distance from the frontiers; and that the frequency of desertion, which had previously arrived at such an alarming height, that forty or fifty men fled daily into Portugal, has been the sole cause of this retrograde movement. Whilst we sincerely wish that this sway prove the true reason, we have great difficulty in belietis% it; though we are well. swam that oetliin would king titiC Spanish Monarch so soon to hicsenses s as to sot an •arttlir b 1 j whose fidelity he hoped to triumpb, ovststist augers sdish his beloved despotism I; mowed & prove faithless to its charge. We think it more likely, however, that it was not fear of bb Own troops so • b, as of the eictoillms Portuguese Cbnstits; tisoalists, and above ail of the Aida) story, which induced him to ism* this sudden order. The PortugUese troops now line the frontiers, and their recent triumphs, as well as the emblems of liberty, which blaze in their front, must strike an inexpressible tenor into the Spanish apostolicali, and may well account for the confusion, which is said to exist in their ranks. At the same time, the advance of the British army must heighten their anxiety; and we imagine we have here hit upon the lige cause, not only of the retrograde movemeat, men• tioned in the Etoile, but of : the more important fact we announced on Tuesday last—the disarmament of the Portoguse rebels. In the meantime the news from Ma drid in these papers is not so late by three days as the intelligence fronfilismane capital, which we published two days since; and the only circumstance of any in terest, which it states, is the arrival of the Marquis of CRAWS/ at St. Jaques, its Gallicia, accompanied only by a very small number of his guilty adherents.. It is reported that Msolls3l was Bred at by one of his own men in passing the frontiers, and severely wounded ac cording•to one account, whiht another Why mortally. There is no other intelligence in these papers worth, noticing. Frankfort Journals to the 16th, the AlgtostiNeZeitirsig to the same date, and Dutch Papers to the 17th inst. reached' us this morning. The last merely contain extracts from the Batavia Journal of the 4th November, which mention some further particulars of the military operations agdinst the native Princes, from which it appears, that though the resistance of the Javanese in surgents still continued, the Netherlands troops and those of their allies, had in every recent instance the advantage. The insurgents, after having been driven from the dis trict of Gavok, rallied again not far from Socracarta, and threatened that capital ► but the SULTAN marched against them on the 19:h October, at the head of his own troops, supported by a small Dutch detachment, and put them to flight. As the mass of the insurgents still hovered about the Klatan and Djoejecarta, Col. Cocntua, who, had shortly before received a small reinforcement, pro- ceeded from the former place to Delangoe, where he was to be joined by Major Lama, whose division had been also reinforced; and it is obvious from this move ment, as well as other circumstances, that the insurrec tion was not's° near its termination, as this - account• would have us believe. There is an article under the head of St. Petenburgb, 28th February, which mentions as a report, that several state prisoners front the Kngdom of Poland bad been lately conveyed to that capital. The Government had not yet published.any official account of the secret ille gal associations, which were discovered in that king dom last year at the same time with those io Russia, and the existence of which was shewn by the report of the Commis►ioners, appointed by the Est/inon to con duct the proceedings against the Russian Conspirators. ; Thus, conspiracy or insurrection, is the order of the day, where►er the character of the Gemernment is.;"op . • posed to the spirit of the age ; and yet 'Fritices are either so weak or so eieions, as to prefer to sit thus continually upon a barrel of gunpowder, rather than forego the miserable and dangerous right of governing their subjects arbitrarily. The Frankfort Papers contain a long extract froth the Oriental Spectator of the 26th January, giving the particulars of the destruction of some piratical boats near the island of Ipsara, by the English corvette the Rose. They also contain extracts from the Universal, Gesdte of Greece, published at Napoli ; but the reports of the military operations are not of so recent a date as those which had reached us through other channels.-.- ' The Gazette of the 17th January, which is the latest, mentions the arrival of Colonel BUIDASKI from France, and says he had reached Salamis on his way to Elcusis with 900 men. This will be an opportune succour to the Greeks, in the present critical state of their affairs. ft is surprising that no tidings of Lord Cocaina/Is have been received, since he sailed from Marseilles. This day, at twelve o'clock, a General Court of Di rectors, of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, was held at the Bank, at which a Dividend of Four per Cent. was declared; after which some ques tions were pot to the CPIAIRIVAN--One of these was, 11 the Bank was going to lend money to Government? The answer was evaded. Another, How many Bank- notes were in circulation? Answer—Twenty-one-mil lions, being much the same amount atoll the last Court day. The Court hroke up in less than half an hour. Letters from Vienna announce the curious fact, that Father Jos's, Confessor to her Mrjesty the Empress of AUSTRIA, has been arrested, and put into very strict confinement. His papers are now under examination by Commissioners appointed by the Emperor. This .. _ event appears tl have caused great sensation in that capital. The rains in the Low Countries have con siderably abated, and with them the apprehensions of the people. The accounts from Batavia continue to be' favourable for the Dutch. Demerara Papers to the 6th February ha►e been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. Their contents are not of importance, being chiefly employed in contemplating the probable effects which would arise from the important demonstrations made by the British Government in the affairs of Portugal.

Tuesday evening, pursuant to Public Requisition, a General Meeting of the Silk Weavers of Spitallields and its vici nity, took place at the Chapel of the Rev. Mr. Armies, In March street, Mile End New Town, for the purpose of hearing a copy of the Petition to both Houses of Parliament read, praying fora law to protect the wages 'of labour. It was then moved, that the Pe tition read be adopted, sad the Committee requested to leeward the same. The Meeting then separated. In one action for Crim. Con. tried before Mr. Baron Glaaaow, at Stafford, as stated In the Sea. of Monday. the damages were laid at SAM. but such were the facts disclosed, that the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff of wee farthing f Mr. TAUNTON. the Comma for the defendant, applied to the Learned Baron, to certify under the Statute of Queen huzszern, to deprive the plaintiff of his costs, with which his Lordship complied. If this were oftener done, where cases are frlvcdous, or brought merely for the purpose of obtaining costs, it would save the Court much valuable time, and prevent Jurymen from being taken from their business, as it would discourage persons from bringing paltry actions, fearful that where they only received a shilling, or a farthing da mages,they would have to pay their own costs. Respectable Solicitors decline Wog employed lo such actions, and often by so doing, save their dlieats from expense and exposure. Plaintiffs, as the lase Lord Karroo often observed, should *, come into Court with clean hands;' or otherwise they should be put out of Court, and not oc cupy its attention to the inconvenience of the public. Many Jury-' men are not aware that even a farthing damages carries costs, or that the object of an action, is ofteri to saddle the defendant with costs, while the plaintiff does not anticipate more than a shining damages. We hope to hear more instances of Judges certifying in the same manner as Baron Go alcove, in frivolous actions, as the best means of checking vexatious litigation, and discouraging actions which should never be brought into Court. We have authority to state, that the only sanctioned copy of General Sir HIRIIRRT TAYLOR'S Narrative el the last Illness and Decease of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Yoac,lwas publtshed on Wednesday by Mr. SAMS, 1, St. James s-street, late Bookseller to his Royal ighness.

It may be necessary to premise, that from the moment tilt bad received the alarming report from Brighton, I entertain any sanguine hopes of his Renal Highness's recov ery, that my expectation of it became gradtally mace faint, aith a . k ,they varied occasionally, as the symptoms of the disorder 60et 0 4 This impression led to my keeping the minutes, from vrbich have exteacted the foregoing statement, my object in so dolrg b et , that I :night be better able, from meta accurate source, to 4 0 . 0 , 6 ; to his Royal Highness's character and sentiments. The 30th of December was the last day on which I rebe,; ; .„4 any paper., and be was then quite equal treaty businels,l of r , his state varied in the coterie of the day, yet, there were I, when physical causes, or the effect et medicine, did not i ut „ l „, with the clear application of the powers of the mind. It has been already 'hewn by the details I have produc e d, thi almost to the latest hour his Royal Highness was ani se,, ~, charge his official duties, and thetoterest be took in them secs K no time weakened he the pressure of bodily disease or pain. le ta r . deer proof of this, I may vete, that on Saturday, the wh of D e , her, I received from Lord Batbursa, at his office, secret imtructbre respecting the force to be prepared free embarkation (or Pints/ i f and that I communicated them the same evening to his Royal 80. nese. He was then In great palm, but he became indifferent is bodily sulfertags, and he immediately drew up the heads of the iitary arrangement (which paper in his own writing I now p tokir, froOl a ttt g ivittfe framed detailed instructions approved by inn„ the f day, and issued on Monday, the t Ids December. This measure naturally produced the necessity of other affairs,. meats connected with home service, sod the Adpitant tiewa i t, o 4 Quarter Master General will bear me out in the anenicie that it" were entered into and directed by bids with the same Monism, and attention which be bad manifested on previous occasions,vike we are bound to state that every arrangement was made by hies, and that the execution of the denials was alone left to us. It may not bo irrelevant here to obvtve, that this bad at anthers been the case ; his Royal Highness boa been at the head of tbearMy more than 3t years; during that period various officers were memo eively employed by him in thesitsetima of blilituy Secretary, and at the heads of departments at the Horse Gouda; and they possessed kis confidence and excited themselves zealously. Hut the mom o f ~„„. Ing the army from its impaired condition ; of improving, establishing, and maintaining its system ; of introducing that administration of u, in principle sad in every detail, width has raised the character the British service, and promoted Its eabelency—beisugs catimively is his late Royal Highness. The work was progressive, but his at tendance to it, his able superintendence of it. were cons tant , H e guided and detected the labours of those subordinate to him; dew task was executive. He gave the impulse to the whole madden!, and kept the wheels in motion ; and to him, I repeat it, the credit was due. Au arrangengmet for the promotion of the old subalterns ef de army had keg been the object of his solicitude, hot it was me d difficult seseemplalunent, as it was understood that al Imiuse ts. tailing eurnoidtesary charge in the public would be adinined. Hence the delay In bringing it forward ; but his Royal HON, inte9d into every detail of it on the 26th of December; aM leg Ring having paid him a visit cm the 27th, he ordered me to sale* it to Me Majesty on that day, when It obtained the Royal signalise; and thy communication of his Majesty's gracious approbation of this arrangement was received by his Royal Highness with a warn expression of satisfaction. Of the resolution and resignation with which his Royal High. ness submitted to protracted confinement and a painful disorder, my statement offers ample proof ; but I have not stated that during all this period, during this serious trial, his excellent temper and kind disposition to all who approached him continued unim paired. I appeal to his medical attendants, I appeal to his ser vants—to those who transacted business with him, official or per moal--whetlier at any time be betrayed a symptom of irritability, whether a sharp word escaped him, whether a murmur or com plaint was uttered. Every attention, from whatever quarter, was kindly received, and gratefully acknowle4ged. Great anxiety wu strewn by him to avoid giving trouble ; and at the later periods of his illness, that which seemed to distress hint most was his belq reduced to the necessity of requesting others to do for him th:: Which he had ceased to be able to do for himself. Of the kind attention of his medical attendants, and tbeirausiere to afford to him the utmost benefit of their skin, be expressed his, self most erosible. And it is due to them to say, that if he- had bees their nearest and dearest relative, they could not bows dowel their time, cam, and attention to him with more affectionate seal thin they did. Noe did be ev r betray any want of confidence is their skill, or the least desire to resort A other advice. I must add, that I can posideety state, having been admitted freely to their consultations, that no difference of opinion prevailed among them; they acted together cowbell', and their only objest seemed to be the welfare of their illustrimis patient. During thoprogreas of his Gloms his Royal Highness received the most endearing and affectionate attention from the King, sad from his brothers and sisters ; and they never failed to be adorns. edged with satisfaction and with gratitude; the Priiicess Soptiis especially, whose near residence admitted of more frequent inter course, never missed coming to him in the course of the day, mho prevented by Indisposition • and I have already stated that her Royal Highness, by Ms dedre,took the Sacrament with him code 28th December. The visits of his Royal Highness's numerous and attached friends were frequent, and they were invariably received with sa tisfaction, and with an expression of his sense of their attendee.— Upon these occasions be exerted himself to meet them theiddly. and toeuppress the expression of pain or bodily tossalammy ad they often left him with the belief that he was free from body al. though this bad by no means been the case. Nor did his Royal Highness's bodily suffering, or the contemp► don of his critical state, divan!), in any degree, the interest which he had ever taken in the stat e of public affairs, and is the ouilm and prosperity of his country. These were, at all thassonpri. meet in his mind, and I am convinced that t hey often engaged k ha a much greater degree than did ills own situation. H. TAYLOR. • The Second Day's Sale of Plate belonging to bit late Royal Highness the Duke of Yost, was net so numerously at tended as the preceding day, nevertheless the articles brought prices satisfactory, we believe to Mr. Comma, especially the modern plate. Some French plate sold somewhat lower than the Berlin. but it consisted of old-fashioned articles. The purchasers were chiely silversmiths and brokers ; some edit former on speculati, and the latter on commission. The Sail of Kamm, the Marmus -of Hassroas, sad some other MoMenem, gave commissions to a considerable extent.
