e v, t he poniehmest was specific, without any mention mul ti b e nefit of clergy. When offences against the person, and J u t of forgery were disposed of, they should then have gone t tuough the whole lathe Criminal Law. 1k proposed to introduce ow clause that shook! apply equally to all those Bins. The clause was drawn up by Sir J. Richardson. and the object of it was to r esent that cumbrous and unnecessary repetition which occurred ' in indictments, with a view to designate more accurately the person, whether male or female, whether an individual or a body corporate. This end would be as effectualh/ attained by the clause he proposed I io c gg.--(The Right Hon. Gentleman read the proposed clause.)- Itl those bills were introduced in the course of last Session, and sore then were submitted to the judgment of men most eminent for their Wats and experience io law, .and they contained no one o , Ac cenent or alteration that did not come recommended by themes (liar, be..r). lie should not trespass longer on the time of the h s w, but move for leave to bring in a Bill for further Improving dowlininistration of justice in criminal caws. ic e . WYNN suggested that however proper it might be to pro ceed to trial when a person was mute from obstinacy, some provi de should be made for those cases, in which persons, in the interval between trial and the commission of the alleged crime, might have bleu visited by frenzy or idiotcy. Under such circumstances, as the law now stood, the trial could not be proceeded in. He be hewed it would be better to introduce no alteration in eases of this • kind. Jr. 4 PEEL said that the Court was left a discretion in such eases. BRIAUGHA ttl thought that would be leaving rather too much distortion to the Judge. The Right lion. Gentleman had censured Blackstone, but it should be recollected that he approved the law as altered, compared with its former barbarity. As ti anciently stood a prisoner ► eing obstinately mute was pressed o death under a stone; under which he was to be placed without meat or drink—as if he could enjoy meat or drink in that uncom fortable situation—C.4 laugh.) . Mr. Secretary BOURNE said, the Right Hon. Gentleman op- posite was entitled to the gratitude of the country, for his improve ment of the Criminal Code. The ATTORNEY GENERAL had not been able to read the BIN hut would take then. on trust, confiding in the talents of those tinder whose auspices they had been perfected. He, howeier, must be allowed to protest againit being thought to support them in detail, should it be hereafter found that they were defective. Mr. FERGUSSON though: that, instead of stealing to the amount of sus. being subject to capital punishment, it ought to be s'. He objected also to corruption of blood and forfeiture of estates, hint the consequences of capital conviction. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. LA RC.IN T LAW.. • Mt. PEEL moved the Order of the Day for the House going into s Committee upon the Larceny Laws . Amendment Bill. The Bill went through a Committee, when several verbal amead- Meats were made. The House then resumed, and the Report was ordered to be taken into consideration on Wednesday next. Mr. PEEL then brought in a Bill for the better administration of Criminal Justice, by the removal of Technicalities en the sub• ret of better administration of Justice, which was read a first .Ind second time, and ordered to be committed on Wednesday rest.—The other Otders a< the.

In the I louse of Lords, last night, the Earl of HARZ.. ROOD put an important question to the Bishop of LONDON, upon the idlest of a declaration recently made by that Right-Rev. Prelate, •a amour place, respecting certain alleged opinions entertained and erpreasta by an illustrious Personage, on the Catholic Question. — The reply of the Right Rev. Prelate, though necessarily obscure, froin the obvious delicacy of the subject, was sufficiently explicit, as tithe main fact, that such opinions were entertained, and had been to expressed, by bis ISIrkatSTY, on the occasion referred to. On a Petition having been presented last night in the House of Commons from Chepstow, for the repeal of the Corpora tion and Test Acts,Sir Tomas Lernaainnt said, he wished to put a peition or two to the CHANCILLOR of the Excuttquaa. lie wished ts know when he received any offer of service from the Leader or Leaders of Opposition, previously to the forming the Administra tion—whether it was communicated to his MA31171, and when? sod whether It was communicated to his Colleavies, and when? Sir THOIIA, concluded by saying be did not wish to provoke discussion. Xr.Csionso said, there had been a negotiation—there had beets letters making offers of support, and letters were coming in daily tithe wpm. As to from whom they came, or as to the questions. he should not say one word. Hiyileclared that be should not an- Ayer any other question respect►nthe late transactions, except a distinct and regular motion was brought forward on the subject. By the Duke of Kent packet,artited at Falmouth from Lisbon, we have received Lisbon Gazettes to the 11th inst. By the same conveyance we have received the following letter, of one day later date, which con ns some curious facts relative to the revolt at Elvas PRIVATE LETTER.—LISBON, Mar 12. There is little news to send you from hence—all is at p esent quiet—the infanta Regent is better, but still ' l l ill. Of course you have heard of the revolt at liras ; the circumstances, as near as I can collect, were e't r—On the morning of the 27th ult. some of the tidiers of the Bth Regiment shewed signs of discontent :`.cut their pay ; aAd the Cblonel, on hearingjt, applied t" the Governor t some money was scraped together, and the men paid on the 28th ; but on the following 4bout 120 men of the same Regiment, the whole Ware artillery (about 300), joined to a number of the i habitants, and a la' ge portion of the peasantry, making altogether a. out I,LOO men, revolted and entrenched themselves on one side of the town. With the inefficient nissns which General Caula had by him, and the rent having planted their guns advantageoubly, k was not deemed prildent to attack them.—The Monks of St. Paulo were, it is supposed, chief instigators of n the . re bellio, and had tampered with the common soldiers, not one Officer joining the rebels. General Caula, however, lost no time in sending to Villa Vicoca for support, and on its arrival took his measures accordingly. Observing the very active part taken by the Monks of St. Paulo, he-directed (on the 30th) the artillery who were in Fort La Lippe (a very strong regular little work, on a height completely commanding the town) to throw some shells into the Convent. The Padres, not relishing such a salutation, rushed forth in a body with the soldiers and peasantry into a square in front, and General Caola at the same moment charged them on the flanks, while a party of horse dashed on in front,' and in a few minutes the rebellion was at an end. It is said (and 1 hope it is true) that half a dozen of the Monks were killed, and 13 wounded: it will be a most salutary lesson to these idle scoundrels not to interfere in military or political matters. What mends the maser is, that the Bishop, hearing the part that the Monks took in the affair, excommunicated the whole Convent! Had the plan of the rebels been supported, or bad they suc ceeded, there is no knowing how far it might have tempted the Spanish Army to cross the frontier; but although the Spanish troops are so near the frontiers, 1 have not beard of any actual aggression, and all will probably end peaceably. We received this morning by Express the Etoik of yesterday's date, but its contents are wholly destitute of interest. The dates from Lisbon are not later than the 9th, and from Madrid there is no intelligence worth noticing. The account we gave yesterday from a German Paper, that the Emperor of RUSSIA is going to seview 60,000 of his cavalry in the neighbourhood of Smolensk, appears in the Bode. The Paris Papers which arrived last night, are chiefly filled with the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies. It would appear from a letter in one of them from Smyrna; of the 23d March, that two French Frigates had tailed two days before, having on board 500 Turkish soldiers for Candia. A Turkish Governor also sailed in one of the frigates for the same destination. The Prince Regent is arrived from Bengal ; left on the 27th Jan.—No Papers or letters are arrived. A Leeward Island Mail arrived this morning, bring ing accounts from St. Thomas's to the 26th April. The advice, by this conveyance from Laguira are dated the 2d April, being only three days later than OUT last ac counts from the same quarter. At that date everything was very quiet, and BOLIVAR was employed in lower ing the duties, and in making other regulations favour able to trade. It would thus seem that his resigna tion of the Presidency did not prevent him from dis charging its most important functions ; and it may be truly said that his conduct altogether Is an absolute riddle. In taking the former step, if it did not conceal some deep intrigue, he was certainly guilty of political cowardice, as it does not become a brave man to quit his post at a moment of public danger. Also Granada Papers were received this morning at the North and South American Coffee House. The following is an extract from a Paper of the 11th April: If On Tuesday evening, arrived his Majesty's ship Aurora, from Barbadoes, on board of which was Mr. Cocrosuarr, the British Ambassador to Colombia, and suite. The vessel sailed this evening for Laguira." We received this morning the Diario di Roma to the 6th May. It merely announces the arrival of the King of BAVARIA in the " Eternal City," unier the title of Count of AUGSBURG. His Majesty, who travels in the strictest incognito, put up at the Leony Hutel, Piazza de Ipagna, where Cardinal HAEIVELIN. the Bavarian Plenipotentiary to the Holy See, was in waiting to re ceive him. The sole object of the journey was a visit to the HOLY FATHER ; and the Bavarian Monarch is of course highly extolled for this mark of his filial affection. We also received the Algendeine &dung to the 15th instant. It appears by an article, copied horn a Trieste Paper, that the English, French, and Au.trian ships of war in the Levant have agreed to act in concert for the future, with the View of putting down the piratical proceedings which have so long rendered trade and navigation in that quarter insecure. Cruizers apper taining to the three Powers ate to be so stationed as to form a chain of communication from the mouth of the Dardanelles to the neighbourhood of the lonian Islands. Certain limits are assigned to them, from_ which they are not to depart till relieved by others. The channels about Rodi Scarpanto are to be guarded by Austrian vessels, and a ship under the same fiAg is to cruize be tween Capo d'Oro and Porto Meandria, whilst another is to keep watch between the former place and Andros. The following are the stations allotted , o the English branch of this service: one man of war to truizebetween Zea to St. Georgio d'Albora; another from Cerigo to Cape Matapsan; and a third fiom the Cape to the Islands Sapienza. Two French men of war are to sai• between Milo and Cerigo, and Milo and Cape Spado The arrangement is, on the whole, eicellent, and will soon putt down this egiolbuisaate. Quebec Papets to the 18th bit; have been received. We are happy to say no further excesses have been committed in Upper Canada, but patty spirit runs high. Mr. CANNING had an audience yesterday of his MA awry, at his Palace In St.Jameis. - The Nlatilnis of LaNsnowx had an interview yester day with Mr. CANNING, at his residence in Downing-street.

His Excellency Lord GRANVILLE, his Majesty's Am• bassador to the Court of France, with his Lady and suite, arrived at Wright and Mattison's Hotel Ire last night, and embarked this morning, at half•past six o'clock, on board ihe new steam packet the Crusader, on their return to Paris. His Excellency was waited on by Colonel MUNRO,' of the Artillery, Major Fox, of the 85th Regiment, and the Crillectof of Customs ; and on stepping on board the Crusader, was cciinplimented with a salute from the garrison guns on the Heights, The weather being ex= ceedingly temperate ind tide favourable, it was ex pected the packet would effect her passage to Calais in two hours and a few minutes. Embarked, same time, on board the Medusa steamer, for Boulogne, Count BALMAIN, First Aide•de=Camp to the Emperor of RusstA, on his return to St. Petersburgh. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

The Ttsgedy which has been for some time announced at this Theatre, from the pen of Mr. GRATTAN, was produced last night. It had been rumoured that Mr. KLAN was imperfect in his part, and the Tragedy had once been postponed on that account. He hid not proceeded to the end of his first speech before the truth of what had been so rumoured became apparent, and as the Play drew to its close, his memory seemed to have betrayed him altogether. With the principal part, in such a state, it would not only,be unjust, but absurd, to offer criticism upon the effect of the whole.— ' After the fall of the curtain, Mr. WALLACE came for. ward and addressed the audience on behalf of Mr. KLAN, who candidly admitted that extreme mental anxiety, and bodily indisposition, had so far impaired his powers of memory as to prevent his doing justice to the author ; and that he had only attempted the part to avoid creating disappointment to the public. As far as we were enabled to judge of the meths of the Tragedy from the mutilated manner of its representation, the dialogue is nervous and poetical, and the story possesses considerable interest. We have no doubt but that it will afford pleasure in the closet, and that its author will do himself the justice to publish it. The Duchess of GLocerraft, the Princess AUGUSTA, and the Princess Soma, visited the KING yesterday. The Princess AUGUSTA entertained the Princess SOTDIA MATILDA and a select party to dimmer on Friday, at her re sidence In the King's Palace, &. James's. The Duke of BIDIORD entertained a distinguished party to dinner yesterday, at his house in Sc. Jame'e.square. The change of public opinion in France, with re spect to M. Vitu.aut, is singular. He is now, we be lieve, in general unpopular ; though it is not long since that the Parisians worshipped him. The intelligence received yesterday from several manufacturing districts is extremely satisfactory. There has been a considerable rise of wages; and the manufac tories ate no longer overstocked. The Earl of BRICADALIANZ, last week, gave 1,0001. to the Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge in Scotland. Mr. William Wakefield has now taken up his resi dence in Lancaster Castle. Mr. GRANTLILY, brother of Lord GRANTLIT, and M.P. for Guildford, has been appointed a Commissioner of BAnkrupts, vacant by the death of Mr. HICKEY. Exercise is directed for the purpose of strengthening the tone of the extreme vessels, as well as to guard against a ple thoric state; but it ought to be observed, it should never be exces sive, for if so, it cannot be long continued, and, in proportion to the violence of it, will be the danger of bringing on an stony ; for, indeed, in the more advanced states of the disorder, walking much will not unfrequently bring on a paroxysm, either as it weakens the tone, or induces an inflammatory disposition in the lower extremi ties, and thus it seems to be, that sprains or contusions frequently bring on a fit of the gout. a I crossed the Mersey," says T.

ELOYEMIINT.—An elopement has taken place at Ashbourne, which is the subject of general talk in that neighbour-. hood.

STATUE °, HIS MAJESTY HY CHANTRY.-.—Thii great Artist has juskcompleted a statue of our Most Gracious Sovereign. It is intended to be erected at his MAJZSTY'S favourite watering place, Brighton. Since the period of its completion their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CLA• na tic a, Sussex, and GaouaresTaa, the Princess AUGUSTA, Princess Faonorta, and the Duchess of KENT,. with the young Princess Vicronin, and numbers of the Nobility and Gentry, have called to see it at the Artist's residence, in Belgrave-place, Pimlico. It will, in the course of the ensuing week, be conveyed to Brighton, and erected under the personal superintendence of the Artist. A very curious discovery was made in the Cathedral here, yesterday, which has occasioned a great sensation in the town. In carrying into effect certain alterations and improvements at the eastern end of the church, and in that part known as the Chapel of the Nine Altars,' an old oaken coffin was fount containing the remains of some distinguished personage—believed to be no other ' than the Patron Saint, St. Cuthbert, " whose_ restless body, in the thsee hundred and ninth yeare after Lis first buriall, was with all funetal pompe enshrin'd" in the " White Church" at Milian), in the year 995, or 832 years ago! The skeleton was found to be re markably perfect, and enclosed In the remains of robes, tidily won ked with gold, a large and bright gold ring, having a crucifix, apparently of silver, appended, was found lying on the breast, and below it the re mains of a book 1 a large comb was also found, in the coffin.

The general rule in respect to Promisiory Bills is, that a lioldet, Who has gWen real value, shall, in all cases, to the amount Of the value, have re. course en the drawer, acceptors, and indorsers. The exception to this rule, laid down by the Chief justice, which is an important me s h, that wherever a bill shall be melted from one who has, to the knowledge of the receiver, been guilty, on a (brayer occasion, of paying away bills without the authority of the owner, although the receiver has paid value, he should lose his own remedy. Tun MANES TUNNZI.-At low water yesterday morning, Mr. Bauxtrad,, sen. Mr. BRUNILL, jun. and Mr. ORAVAIT, again descended in the diving•bell to the bed of the river, in order to ascertain the efficacy of the measures which have been adopted to remedy the difficulty which has arisen in the prosecution of this Important undertaking. In addition to large quantities of strong clay; bags, filled with the same composition, have, with the help of long spikes, been lowered into the river, and laid in such a position as would best answer the purpose intended. Messrs, 13nonscr. yesterday morn ing descended principally to ascertain whether these bags had been properly placed. On the bell being hoisted up, the engineer declared that everything had been done in the most proper manner, and ordered adtli• tional quantities of clay in bags to be lowered on the place where the aperture previously was. So sanguine it Mr. BRUN= now that the•evil will be remedied, that he has given orders that 'the steam-engine should be got ready, in order•that'at low water the pun►pie out of the water contained in the tunnel and shaft might be commenced: Yesterday afternoon, at about low *ater the diving bell was agaltrkwered.
