.:. Mr. CALCRAFT opposed the Resolution, on the ground of the additional expense it would inflict upon the poor. A complainant probably might not have 5001. and if .he had, he would want a great ptoprtion of it to bring his cause advantageously before the Committee. The complaints of Committees had been greatly overcharged. The limited accommodation provided for them, Awn -or three .CoMmittees frequently sitting in the same mem, Counsel 'attending several Committees at the same time, and constantly moving from one .to another—all this created g4st a l parent tumult and confusion, but, as far as his experience went, substantial justice was generally done. He re commended the lionrurahle Gera. to give up the five hundred pounds deposit altogether, and try the ketchitions without it. But if they where to insist upon parties who have already gone through a tedious and expensive process making this deposit, all but the rich would be shut out from this new tribunal. 'fhe expense to the party himself would alone be sufficient to deter from frivo lous complaints. His Honourable Friend allowed, he believed, only one Counsel, but one Counsel was a pretty expensive toy for a man to play with for two or three days. He concurred in the principle of the Amendment, but thought it better to reject the Resolution altogether. .4, . , After a few words from Mr. Getting Fasts, Mr. LITTLETON said, th..t he had revived sug gestions from more than one Hon. Member, of the legal profession, that something in the nature of an arbitra• iron bond might be adopted in lieu of the proposed depo.it. He should, therefore, wish, in order to afford opportunity to take the proposal into consideration, that the debate should be adjourned till after the holidays. After a few remarks from Mr. Asaacaoster, it was accordingly resolved that the debate upon this subject be adjourned until the 15th of February next. Sir It. BRANSBY COOPER gave notice of a motion to pre vent Members interested in any Private Bill Irons having voices in the Committee, after the holidays.. The SPEAKER begged to inform the House, that he had lost no time in preparing the lists for Committees according to the spirit of the Resolutions. Those lists were now complete, but he suggested the expediency of not putting the regulation in force until after the holidays. Mr. WODEHOUSE moved for the production of various u counts respecting the Importation and Exportation of Corn, the former Resolution respecting which had been discharged, on the ground of informality. A Petition was presented, complaining of an undue section for the Borough of Fowey, and ordered to be taken into consi deration on the 17th of February ; and a similar Petition from the County of Cavan, was ordered to be taken into consideration on the Bth of January. The House then adjourned until to-morrow (mut say). HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tuts Dar. Gansu or THE asr.—Ezebequer Bills Bill, and Grants in Aid 11111—severally to be read a second time.

Although there was a grant last night, in tke Heise, of ten mil lions of Bachequar Bills, with the state of affaks between Spain and Portugal, the Consol market remains Arm and steady. Con sols, which left off yestetday at 841 sellers for the Account, opened this morning at 841 sellers, and 831 I for Money, with little business doing at present, as the great spednlators are waiting for the opening of the French Sessions, which, it is supposed, will take place on the 12th instant.

The Coosol market is not so good u in the earlier part of the mousing, which is owing to the heavy slotting of Consols this day, as well as the French Rentes coming lower, and the scarcity of money in the market. Consols in the earlier part of the morning were at 1141 to j for the Account, and at present may ,be quoted at ll4j to 3, and for money 83j I. Within this hour a good deal of b *sinew has been doing. In the Foreign Market the most doing is in the Potosi Rig, which was yesterday at 90, and to-day they have been at 601thi1. lingo In other Foreign Securides little doing. PRICK OF STOCKS AT TWO O'CLOCK; I *. tante pending before that Tribunal against the authors and accomplices of the insurrection *bids took - place at Bergen, on the 25th and 26th of July, 1814. The ac cused have been divided into five classes, and forty. seven of them are condemned in a fortress or to hard labour for various terms f but in no case exceeding two years. The Steward of a Fief has been dismissed from his office. Two hundred and thirty-nine individuals have been sentenced to fines from five to ten &liars specie (a specie dollar is five shillings sterling), forty. three to pay - part of the costs, the whole amount of which is 2,000 dolla:s specie. Sixty-three others were acquitted. An assessor of the Cnurt of Justice was condemned on this occasion by the Ttibunal to a fine of 100 ounces of silver for some negligenceof which he was guilty. TURIN, Novsmses 23. • We receive from Naples notice of a discovery lately made in Pompeei, which will be highly agreeable to all our readers who regard the memory of the Romans; this discovery is absolutely new. In the recent excava tion of a house near the Fullossies, there were found five glass jars perfectly closed and placed in a small wooden box : these jars being conveyed to the Royal Museum were carefully cleared of the earth which so vered the outside, and it was found that two of them contained a thick liquid substance in good preservation, which, on accurate examination, proved to be a conserve of olives, prepared for the table of some Pompeian Gas- tronome, eighteen centuries ago; they are still entire, which would appear marvellous, if not fabulous, were it not confirmed by an authentic report. In another jar there was a thick buteraceens sauce made of the roe of fish. His Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies being immediately informed of this unparalleled discovery, desired to see it, and ordered an accurate analysis to be, made of it, of which we shall speak iu our next number. 25th.—The following is the account given of the ex amination of the buteraceous substance found in one of the jars at Pompeei. We think it useless to report the ex amination of the olives, farther than to say that they are of the species still cultivated in the kingdom by the name of gpanish 64 This substance is much softer than the olives ; it is of a greenish yellow colour, it has a strong rancid smell, and in the mass are small globules, resembling the roe of fiila, but which a strong magnifying glass cannot well determine. This substance is on the whole entirely ana logous to that found with the olives, it is composed of the same elements of oleaginous acid, and of that inde terminate substance in some degree analogous to the sweet principle of fixed oils. It should seem that ori ginally it was no other than olive oil, containing some sauce (salsa), rather vegetable than animal, since the distillation of it has not furnished any compounds of azote4 46 NICOLA COVELLL 44 Of the Royal Bourbon Museum, charged with t►e analysis of the substances found at Pompeei." s Naples, November 3, 111t11." Halifax Papers, just received at the North and South American Coffeehouse, to the 16th November, state, that the Chabucto was detained a short time at Canso, owing to some disturbances having broken out amongst the fishermen, but quiet is again restored. French Papers to the 3d inst. and the Eteile of Sun day, have reached tis. The latter is filled with indig nation at an article which appeared in the Journal des Debate, in which the superiority is given to England over France, in policy, wisdom, and power. This ar ticle, according to the Etoik, was proposed to another Paper, the Editor or which refused it, on the ground that nothing, under present circumstances, would justify him in publishing so violent an attack against France." The Journal des Debate, adds the Minsterial Print, 4 6 was less scrupulous." We have read the article itself, and see nothing in it so very offensive to the dig nity of France, though the argument maintained is certainly an unfounded and mischievous one, as it tends I to show that a general war, though suspended for the present, is ere long unavoidable--a position which is totally false and untenable. The Etoile also, in reply to the other Paris opposi tion Papers, solemnly declares, that if when the Duke of ANCIOULRME was in Spain, at the head of the French army, and in the very midst of a war then far from its termination, France refused the offers of the Portuguese Royalists, and sent back the very Marquis of CHAIM (then Count of AMARANTE), wbo had come to join the; French with a whole division, she will, at a moment of siniversal peace like the present, be still more scrupu lous in taking any part against Portugal. To this satisfactory illustration, the Etolie adds . the equally l gratifying intelligence, " that the Spanish Government has declared its intention of remaining neutral during the struggles of the varioui parties which exist in Por tugal, and that the King of SPAIN has written the de claration of neutrality with his own hand." In the House of Commons last night, Mr. M. A. TAYLOR gave notice, that on the 27th of February he should submit a Motion for separating from the Great Seal atl cases of Bankruptcy. This would certainly be g great relief to the LORD CHANCELLOR, who has, in addition to his labours in the Court of Chancery, to' preside also in the House of Lords. Mr. LITTLETow brought forward his postponed Re solution relative to Private Bills, which he now proposed to amend as follows:—" That any party or parties com plaining of the decision of a Committee, or his or their agent or agents, shall deposit with the Clerk of the Fees the sum of 5001. previous to the ballot for the Com mittee of Appeal ; and that he or they shall also sign a note, agreeing that the whole or part of that sum shall be paid as the said Committee shall direct." Mr.BANKIIS, jUll. moved that the words 41 unless the House shall otherwise determine," be added to the Resolution. This ' amendment was received with general approbation; and n the end Mr. LITTLETON, in the expectation that something in the nature of an arbitration bond might be adopted in lieu of the proposed deposit, consented to the postponement of the further consideration of the subject till after the 'Holidays. Mr. Secretary Pen, gave notice last night of an inv. portant Motion, via. that he would, immediately after the Holidays, move for a Committee to Inquire into the State of the Police in the Districts adjoining the Me. troplis, and would bring in Bills to consolidate the Laws respecting the Laws of Theft, and the Laws be. tureen Journeymen and Masters. The Right Hon. Gentleman did not enter into any particulars further , than his giving notice of Motion. The Orders of the' Day having been disposed of, the House adjourned. From the periods fixed yesterday for theconsideration of some Petitions, it should seem as if the ensuing , adjournment is at present intended to be only to the middle of January, instead of the end of next month. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER left the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Ctramsca, at Bushy Park, on Saturday, for her seat at Bagshot Park. Tke Royal Duchess was visited on Saturday by her Royal Sister the Princess AUGUSTA, who came from Frogrnore on a visit to her Royal Highness. The Duke of YORK transacted business yesterday with his Military Secretary ; also with the Adjutant General and the Quartermaster General. The Earl of LIVERPOOL is slightly indisposed with a cold. Mr. Secretary Net. and the Earl of WESTMORLAND transacted business yesterday with Mr. Secretary Camomo, at his office in Downing street. Lord CHARLES SomEßsar transacted business yes terday at the Secretary of State's Office for the Colonial Department. Mr. Under Secretary HAY arrived in town yesterday from the seat of Mr. MACDONALD, near Godalming. Mr. DYKES. the King's Messenger, arrived in town on Friday, with dispa:cbes from Lord Gaauvu.s.z, our Ambassa dor at Paris, to Mr. Secretary CANNING. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial Office from General Sir G. L. Cow', at the Mauritius. His Grace the Duke of DEVONSHIRE paid a morning visit to the Duke of You on Sunday, at the Duke of RUTLAND'S residence in Arlington-street.

MASSURRADIr-...SiT RICHARD PLAN= gave a Grand Masked Bail at the Cape of Good Hope about the inkidk of September last, at which all the beauty and fashion of the Colony Isere prompt. The intelligence from Constantinople in the French Papers, confirms the extent of the late executions, or rather massacres, which took place in that capital and on the Asiatic coast. On the 20th of October, floating bodies covered the sea, and vessels filled with exiles were sailing in every direction. The Janissaries who had taken refuge in Natolia, threatened the most des perate revenge, but as they had no point d'appai, their menaces excited no alarm. News had been received from Georgia, by which it appealed that the Russians were pursuing their triumphs over the Persians with great activity, and that the armies of the SCRAM were falling back on every side. If this continue, history will never have recorded a more unprovoked and less successful invasion. Mr. Pendrell, a shoemaker, late of Newgate-street, was buried on Sunday, at Creeil Church, Leadenhall street, with masonic honours. He was descended from the family of the Pendrells, in Nottinghamshire; one of whom, Mr. Pendrell, of Beskell House, in that county, secreted Charles 11. and saved him, by making him as sume the character of his servant. In this disguise he was conveyed beyond the reach of his enemies. For the services then performed, the family of Pendrell received a pension at this day from Government. In tegrity seems to have descended from father to son as an inheritance, for at a time when a reward of 1,0001. was offered for the apprehension of young Watson, Mr. Pendrell secreted him in his house in Newgate- street s dressed as a female, watched over him to prevent the approach of every intruder, accompanied him to America, and never left him till be skw him in a place of safety. NATIONAL GALLIRY.—The projected National Gal lery on the site of the old Mews at Charing-cross, is a building five hundred feet in length, composed of two orders of architecture in height, namely, the Doric and lonic. The front consists of four pavilions, connected by colonnades ; the pavilions surmounted by enriched polygonal domes, terminating in balls and spears, bearing resemblance to that pile in the Regent's Park, called Sussex-place. Over the centre division t 'of the structure, which, on the ground story, is a co. loonade in limit of five arched entrances, rises a large cii cular dome, u hich terminates in a temple some. thing after the manner of the Choragic Monument, but triangular on the plan, having a colossal statue oa every side. This dome is supported by a tier of Pestum Doric columns, rising from a square tower-like base, at each angle of which there is a lion couthanr.— Through the iatercolumniations the centre of the build- 1 ing will derive its light. Above the two outward , colonnades, the façade is embellished w i t h one t i er o f windows, dressed with pediments, &c. aver which runs' .a long pannel, filled with basso-relievos, not unlike the Haymarket front of the Opera House. There will also' , be a very considerable display of sculpture in statues and vases. At Gloucester Fair, last week, there was not so large a supply of stock as at former periods, and except in one or two particular branches, the business was very flat and discouraging to the agriculturist. Prime fat beasts, however, were in request, and sold readily, at about 6id. per lb. and some as high as 7d. Fresh and meaty beasts were also in demand, but inferior cattle and small lean stock were quite a drug, is consequence of the scarcity of winter keep. In the sheep fair, which was fully supplied, little or no business was doing ; fat ewes were worth about sd. and wethers 6d. per pound, and a few very fine sorted ones still higher, but no call at all for stores. The number of pigs was small. • BRIGHTON, Du. 3. The weather to-day has been mild, but cloudy and damp, In Rot without intervals of sunshine. The Steyne during the ah m noon eihihited divers groups of Thrash promenaders; the band the Stb Hussars played some of their beat melodies, in front of ti lt residence of Lady ANN. MURRAY.

It is said to have been ascertained from authentic documents, that the Captains of slave ships Arose into the sea every year not less than 3,000 iiegroes, men, women, and children ; of whom more than half ate thus sacrificed, while yet alive, either to escape from the visits of cruisers, or because, worn down by their oil feting:, they would not be sold to advantage. The amount of Bank of England notes under 51. in circulation in June, 1826, was 1,008,3761.; in July, it was, 1,358,8661.; in August, 1,223,3941.; in S:ptember, it was 1,129,7811. ; in October, 1,005,9661.; in the nil) , part of November last, 916,4891. LOSS OF THE BRIG SUN.—The Sun of Calcutta, was totally lost on her passage from Sydney, and is a further proot of the dangers attending the route by Tones Straits. She struck upon a sunken reef of coral, while steering for the entrance of the passage, and went to pieces almost immediately. The crew having succeeded 'in getting the long boat and jolly boat afbar,embarked in them, and endearourad to reach Murray's Island, which was the nearest land, and where Captain Gil!ec expected that some of the vessels from New South Wales might touch. After two days exposure to the weather, without food or water, they got sight of the island, but the long boat was unfortunately dr'ven -and second her, d o a and, O z rt c ea e w r ° t e s , wairthe locks and m c d ar ' e s t , w w Th i e th r e e a o fi n r w s b t a o t a o r r d of grave. The jolly-boat reached Murray's Island in safety, and her crew, consisting of Captain Gillet, a passenger, and ten men,were brought on in the JohuMunro, which vessel touched at the bland two or three days atter their arrival. The inhabitants of, Murray's Island are de scribed as little better thad savages, many of them going about perfectly naked. They however treated the shipwrecked men on this occasion with perfect kindness —a proof that hospitality is a virtue natural to man. We really believe that few of the acts of treachery and cruelty which:are recorded of many of these Islanders, are committed without provocation, or the apprehension of intended injury, and that Europeans are in general themselves to blame when they are ill treated. There are four great cyphers in the world : he that is lame among dancers, dumb among lawyers, dull arnqng scholars, and rude amongst courtiers. GENTLENESS AND AFFABILITY.—Those softening qualities and manners peculiarly constitute the moral beauty of virtue; others are snore sublime and distinguishing; but the kind pnd courteous voice, the benign amenity, the benevolent feelop, and the unassuming conduct, never fail to awake our sweete , t and most endearing sympathies—to connect heart with heart, aid soul with soul, in bands of mutual:gratification and mutual regard, t.d to attest that interior loveliness of character which•aursas the esteem of intellect and sensibility with a social magnetism du: WV age and rank esteem, welcome, applaud, and submit to: \
