)1J• r of ,ns. tcd. aks enc. the ause "Cape, Gibraltar, and the lonian Islands, until he b l ew their revenues, and that no sons of needy No- Mlit . ere sent out as Governors. The House of Comrt.' .s had selected a bad time for placing confi koce in Ministers, when the table was broken down 4 4 Petitions for a reduction of Taxes. M r . It. WARD defended the conduct of the Ord nance Office. It was hard to slander others who could l ot &tend themselves. Mr. it G. BENNE rr explained; as did Mr. WARD. Mr. J. SMITH thought it unfair to make any allu sions to Gentlemen who had not an opportunity of blending themselves. Mr. HUME denied that he had ever made vague an d personal assertions ; but always such charges as he could gibstantiate. Ile repeated his charges as to t h e pilfering of wood, coals, and shavings at Queen- . boroug h. He complained that the Hon. Gentleman vas holding out an encouragement to plunder, and, in e ff ec t, saying to every servant of the Ordnance— Do what you will, commit what peculations you , and I will defend you"—( Hear, hear). Mr. R WARD again defended the conduct of the Ork;naace Office; and also the Ordnance Storekeeper at Feversham, as to the taking wood, &c.—After sam e further conversation; the Committee divided— Far the Resolution - - 86 Against it Majority - - - -—3 l Mr. R. WARD moved a sum of £36,000 for de fraying t: e esj eases of Ordnance and Garrisons in Guerwey arid Jersey. Mr. GIPPS wished to know why this sum was £15,000 more than on any former year ? Mr. R. SVARD said, there was no absolute addi tion, though there was on this article. The sum was placed on the Ordinaries, instead of heii:g on the un provided Estimates to. the Ordnance. There was last year an urivr.)vided sum of £60,000 This alarmed t hem ; and they determined to charge it on the Ordinaries. Mr. GIPPS thought this still an immense sum for such a charge, after so long a period of profound I,eace. Mr. It. WARD repeated his former observations. The number of troops to be supplied was greater at Dome stations than during war. Mr. GIPPS did not understand how there came to be son , uch charged for beds, bedding, and barrack utensil., for the gal risons at borne. Mr. %WARD repeated that this sum was brought from ti:e nnprovided Esjiiiates to ,be Ordinaries. Mi. HUME thought there had been stores enough voted during the war to supply beds and bedditii; for twenty years. Mr. GIPPS proposed to reduce this vote to £33,000. Mr. HUME thought they ought to postpone this vote until they got farther information on the subject. It was impossible that 1:20,000 could be wanted for beds, bedding, and barr .ck contingencies lot 7000 men. He was glad to hear that an account was to be furnished of this su.n ; but, at the same time, he thought the Amendment very proper. Mr. MA BERLEY said the House ought to limit the Government to money, so that, if they would not economize, they must resign. Mr. BERNAL objected to the charge for a maga sine at Gravesend, as unnecessary. The ships might take in their powder at Woolwich. Mr. HUME understood there was no magazine at Gravesend at all. He wished the Honourable Mem ber would say whereabouts at Gravesend the maga zine was situated ? Mr.WARD said, if the Hon. Member chose to , go to Gravesen., any one would shew him the magazine. There were 15,000 barrels of powder kept there and at Tilbury Fort. Mr. HUNIE objected to having such a number of magazines at different places; which only served to increase expense. Mr. WARD said, it was impossible to please Gen tlemen. A magazine had been erected at Purfleet, capable of containing 60,000 barrels of powder, with a view of doing away the lesser magazines ; but they immediately had all Essex up in arms against them ; and amongst them, the late Member for Bedford re monstrated against so large a mass of powder being deposited in one place ; they were immediately accused of being the most dangerous set of men alive !—(Laeghter). After a few words from Mr. J. SMITH, Mr. T. WILsoN, and others, the House divided — For the Amendment - - - - 64 For the original Motion - - - 99 Majority for the original Motion - —35 ORDNA NCI. The next Resolution was for £217,543, for balance of pay to the Ordnance Corps in Great Britain and elsewhere, after al lowing for a Vote of Credit of £150,000 taken on the 19th of April last, and making in all a sum of £367,453. • Mr. HUME objected to one item in this account, of £4,268 to gunners, since the guns having all been removed there were no guns to take care of. Mr. WARD said, it was true the guns had been removed at some stations, but was this any reason why the Gunners' Esta blishment should no longer be kept up? The lion. Gentleman should be aware that Master Gunners were, in general, gild veteran Officers, who had served their country faithfully for years, and were provided for by this appointment at an expen s e of only £B4 a-year to the Public. If this was done away, the greatest object of ambition and excitement to Non-commissioned Officers, to exertions and good conduct would be done away. In this point of view he considered this as one of the most important and useful branches of the establishment, as far at least as the good of the service and public interest were concerned. Mr. BEN NETT wished the vote divided into lesser sums. This suggestion was adopted by Mr. WARD, and the first item, that for the Master-Gunners,was then put, and agreed to. The next Resolution was or £40,030 for the pay of the Royal Corps of Engineers, containing 203 Officers, not including 12 officers serving in Ireland. Mr. HUME wished to know where the Staff of this Corps were provided for? 124 of these were Staff Officers, and bad per kes. This was a must extraordinary proportion. The Staff, he thought, might be so reduced as to save £20,000 to the Pub lie understood the present item was for the regular pay, Ind therefore he should not oppose it. Colonel FRANKLIN contended, that the pay toast Officer of Engineers, when employed, was not too much. He, as Co lonel, received 16s. a-day, and when employed, the pay was in creased one-half. But this by no means covered his additional expenses. Mr. HUME did not complain of the amount of pay, but of seamy Officers being set down as employed, who, in fact, were not employed. He would only instance the case of Fever sham. Y VW necessity was there fur &Staff Officer at Feversiaam, where no works were going on at present? Mr. WARD said a few words in defence of the Staff; after which the Resolution was agreed to. Mr. P. NIOOItE then moved that the Chairman should re port progress, it being past twelve o'clock. The motion was adopted, the House resumed, the Chairman irpom d progress, and the Report was ordered to be received (143 onday.—The other Orders were disposed of, and the House aajoulied, at Usdf-past o'Clock, to blonday.

A letter from Bayonne, of the 10th May, is given in the Journal des Debats, which says—" The sinister reports which were in circulation during the whole of yesterday, are happily contradicted by a traveller who arrived this morning from Madrid. Nothing less was talked of than attempts against the Royal Family, and even the person of the King. What is true is, that after the assassination of the Canon Vanuesa, on the sth inst. the populace went in a body to the King's Palace, and sent forth the most horrible vociferations against his Majesty, and against his brother, the Infant, Don Carlos. The Authorities, with the aid of the troops and the militia, succeeded in re-establishing order. It is added, Ltit the fact appears to want confirmation, that all the Members of the Cortes, after a public deliberation, repaired to the King's Palace, to make a rampart of their per sons round the Royal Family. At the departure of the traveller who brings these accounts, Madrid ap peared tranquil. The Empecinado, at the head of from seven to eight thousand men, has attacked the Curate Merino, and dispel sed his band, the greatest part of which have been made prisoners. Merino escaped as by a miracle, with twenty of his followers; he flattered himself, up to tlie last moment, that the Empecinado would join h►m. It ►s announced that all the Monks and Canons of Burgos have seen arrested. " Military Commissions have been formed at Sal vatierra and at Vittoria, to try the Chiefs of the In- surrection of Alava." It is stated in an article from Nice, of the Ist inst. that the ex-King of Sardinia, VICTOR EMP4ANUEL, IS to repair to Modena. His refusal to resume the Throne was, it appears, very mach against the in clinations of his spouse, who has been talking of-going to Vienna on the subject. Prince NIETTERNICII, in a letter respecting the affairs of Piedmont, has been pleased to say We now see how very easy it is to put down Revolutions ; it is only necessary for one King to have the courage to refuse to say. yes, and another to say no." Measures of severity continue to be pursued in Piedmont. The Military Commission is inexorable. General GIFFLENGA, who accompanied Prince CA RIGNAN° to Novara, and had at first only received orders to retire to his estates, has been arrested.— There was found in the carriage of ST. MARSAN and LEVI (who were-taken, after the affair at Novara, with 10,000 francs and some papers) a correspondence be tween GIFFLENGA and ST. MARSAN. the son, which compromises the former deeply. Some of the parties arrested, and, among others, Colonel PALMA, are said to have gone mad. The whole Revolution of Piedmont, it is added, was nothing but a conspiracy of Officers ; the sol diers, it seems, took so little part in it, that it was found necessary to distribute to some corps 36 francs each man, to induce them to march. The latest accounts relating to Naples state that the Austrian army of occupation is to be reduced to 12,000 men, who will be distributed among the for tresses. Two flying columns of Austrians had been scouring the country if the bands of brigands who in fested it. One De NEGRIS, who had been appointed Captain of Legionaries, had assembled some fugitives at San Bartholomeo in the Capitinate, and bad there hoisted the standard of the Carbonari ; but at the approach of the Austrian troops this band dispersed. Two of them were made prisoners, and immediately delivered over to the Military Commission. The following is the only additional, intelligence respecting the. Greek insurrection: The Russian Con sul at Jassy had published two Proclamations. In the first, he summons YPSILANTI and his Russian partizans to repair instantly to Russia, and to wait there the pleasure of his Imperial MAJESTY; and in case of disobedience, he declares that they will be re garded as disturbers of the public peace and treated as such. In the second, he calls upon such Mulda vians as have taken part with the rebels, to return to their duty, and to obey the legitimate Authorities, as the only means of avoiding the punishment due to those who persist in rebellion. The effect of these Proclamations had been to produce that re-action among the Boyars of Moldavia which we mentioned a few days ago. It does appear, in short, that we may say with a French paper ; "Encore une revolu tion terminie." French Five per Cents. Tuesday, 83f. 50c. Mails from Flanders and Holland have brought us Papers to the 15th and 16th instant. The following are the only articles which we have met with of any interest: NAPLES, APRIL 20. Accounts from Palermo of the sth, say, " Tom merelli de Lucca and some other Ez-Deputies to the I'arliament, having arrived here, were immediately placed in the Castle as well by a way of precaution as to protect them against the insults of the people. Some indications of disorder among the Militia and the populace were suppressed in their very origin." FRANKFORT, MAY 9. The Saxon Government has just established a very iigourous Censorship of all Works printed in that Kingdom. BRUSSELS,`MAY 19. If we may believe private correspondence from Prussia, that country will not be long without a Con stitution. It will be laid before a Committee, com posed of persons among all classes of society. A strong opposition is expected from the Nobility in what relate , to the abolition of feudal rights. His Majesty our Sovereign, has signed the Decree or dering. the Palace of the States-General to be rebuilt on the same plants before die Lao fire. • THE ARMY. It it stated that there is no intention whatever of consolidating the Commissariat and Barrack Depart ments in Ireland. These Establishments, in which the utmost regularity and economy are observed, are so extensive and distinct from each other, that it would almost be impracticable to unite them ; and, were it possible, the expense would not be reduced, as the Superannuation List would be augmented much beyond what might be expected to be saved. On the embarkation of the troops now underdor ders for foreign service, the military force in Ireland will not exceed 16,000 men. The 49th Regiment, quartered at Ballinasloe, have marched to Waterford. The 88th Regiment (Connaught Rangers) now in garrison in Chester Castle, are about to ch ange q uarters. The East and West Kent Regiments of - Militia as sembled on Tuesday Ida, for the purpose of being trained and exercised, the former at Canterbury, and the latter at Maidstone. In consequence of the many desertions on their last assembling, a heavy ballot has just concluded throughout the County, to fill up the vacancies; and, from the caution observed in the se lection of men as substitutes, the Regiments have mustered much stronger than last year. Thursday se'rinight, the sth Royal Veteran Batta lion marched from Plymouth, on their route for Shrewsbury. The order and discipline of this Batta lion has on all occasions been highly to the satisfac tion of the Commanding Officer of that district ; and the quiet and gentlemanlike conduct of the Officers, and the sober and steady behaviour of the men, dur ing the whole of the long period they remained at Plymouth, has secured them the good wishes and the esteem of all ranks in that and the neighbouring towns. The following accident took place on their mute : On Saturday last, several carts left Ashburton for Exeter, with women and baggage of the sth Royal Veteran Battalion. In the course of the morning, the Officer who accompanied them reprimanded George Layman, one of the carters, for driving so vio lently, but in vain. About six miles from Exeter this man furiously drove his cart forward, in order to get before another cart : which he accomplished, but in so doing his own cart was upset, and the women and children were thrown into the road. The horses of the heavy loaded cart that had been passed instantly took fright, and the wheels ran over several persons. A child is materially injured, and two women are sent to the Devon and Exeter Hospital in a very dan gerous state ; one of them with such an alarming ap oearance, that there is very little hope of her recovery. The driver being taken before S. F. MILFORD, Esq. has been committed by him to jail, to await the doubt ful event of the woman's recovery. Tuesday.: the 11th Regiment of Foot marched from Plymouth Dock, to replace the Veterans in the Citadel. There are at this time serving in the Veteran Bat talions four Officers, whose united services amount to one hundred and ninety-two years! The whole of them have risen from the ranks, and have served with great credit. A Hamburgh Mail arrived at a late hour this fore noon, with Papers to the Bth of May. Accounts from Hanover, of the 4th of May, state, that his MAJESTY'S Birth-day was celebrated on the day preceding, both at Court and its many private circles, with every mark of respect and affectionate loyalty. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAM BRIDGE received the congratulations of a numerous and brilliant Court. In the evening there was a splendid Ball and Supper at Montbrillant. His MAtzsTy is to honour the Duke of Davos• mime with his company at dinner to-morrow. Yesterday morning the Duke and Duchess of CLA. aztice and the Princess AUGUSTA left town for I Bushy Park. In the evening their Royal Highnesses returned to town. Thursday, the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, the Duchess of KENT, Prince ERNEST HOHENLOHE LANGENBOURG, and a select party, dined with Prince LEOPOLD, at Marlborough House. His MAJESTY, it is said, has announcsil his inten tion to make Buckingham House his town residence in future. The defective state of the foundation of Carlton House, and the superior advantages of more open air and extensive grounds possessed by the for ma., are the causes of the change. The persons, male and female attached to the Court, who occupy St. James's Palace, have, in consequence, received notice to quit, in order that the fine suit of rooms which it contains may be fitted up for the holding of Levees, Drawing rooms, &c. now held at Buckingham House. Thursday, an Inquest was taken at the Radcliffe Infirmary, near Oxford, by Mr. Cecn., Coroner , on view of the body of John Lardner a lad, twelve years ot ? age. It appeared in evi dence that L ardner was ploughboy to Mr. John Pratt, a respectable farmer, at Leafield, near Witney, and was go ing, on Monday last, with a waggon and four horses of his master's a ccompanie d by the carter, from Cassington wharf to Leafield ; that, about a mile from Ensham, on the road to Witney, a carriage, in which were two Ladies, with a pair of horses, passed by, with a little pug dog on the box of the coach; that the dog barked, which frightened the horses in the waggon, and they ran away ; that Ladner was knocked down by the fore horse, and was trampled upon by him and the three other horses, and the fore off wheel of the wag gon went over his le ft leg; that the driver of the car riage picked up the lad and delivered him to the carter, and then drove on to Witney, where the Ladies mentioned that l an accident had occurred, and then left the place, without sta ting who they were. The lad waaafterwards most humanely attended by Mr. Ansell, surgeon and apothecary, of Witney, who accompanied him ins post-chair to the Radcliffe Infir mary, where be died on the Wednesday Morning following.- -The Jury were satisfied that the carter was not in the knit to blame, but •considered the conduct of the Ladies very unfeeling.

" My dear--, lam jest saved from impending death. We* left Calais yesterday with a strong gale, and arrived in the Roads It -six. Our passage was horrible, and we were exhausted by continual vomiting. A boat put off to us at about a mile from the shore, with a heavy swell, the tide running furiously, and the wind increasing. We embarked. In ten minutes, a packet going out bore down upon us uLder a tremendous press of sail ; we all shrieked out—it was ln vain—in a moment she was upon as, and in another moment our bark gave a great groat, patted and sunk ! We were now all under the bows of the vessel, in the raging sea ; none uttered a word but D. each endeavoured to look out for a plank—not an atom of the wreck remained; sad the packet's loose ropes were the only frail iroplements by which eight or ten human beings could possibly be saved. One of these my boy got, and by instinctive feeling, climbeel up, and suspended himself under the bowsprit of the vessel which had wrecked us, and which continued its course at an enormous rate. Many fret below him, and completely immersed in the sea, I got hold of a small rope, not thicker than a skipping rope, and clung to it by both hands till my clothes, embued with water, made the weight too great to• be supportable, and one of my hands gave way and fell dead by my side. The small hold afforded by the other was now my only chance. I felt that one minute would settle this ; and my persuasion of being drowned instantly Was so unmixed with a particle of hope, that I said to my boy, " Gou bless you, my dear boy, 1 Altai go doom !" In another moment myother hand gave way, and the Mate and Captau of the vessel which had brought us (who had been endeavouring to jet out a boat) agreed that I was gone, and that exertion was no longer available. Just before this, a fine young man, who had just taken leave of his sisters on board, as they did not like to trust the boat, dropped lake a stone from D.'s side, and sunk to rise no more. We bear this morning, that there is a second sufferer, and that one or two of the men are maimed, and - have broken limbs. I can tell you little of my sensations. lam no longer a stranger to the expectation of immediate death. I wondered within myself whether I should have much to suffer, and recollect a kind of triumph at D.'s having comparatively saved himself—but he could not have lasted five minutes longer. As he hung, he kept calling out, 0 save my father ! save that Gentleman! he is my father !' all in vain. There were many boats near; not one would place it self in the awful peril which had just crushed and swamped one of their companions. The persons on board the packet which had occasioned the accident were paralyzed, and looked on with out making the least exertion. _At last, one intrepid fellow, hearing D.'s cries (and no voice was heard but his), called out, that he would try to save him. At the moment when I was sinking he caught me by my great coat, having most courageously ventured his boat and his life under the tremendous sea, and in a few minutes I found myself breathing in air, and D. by my side. Ali my valuable luggage is, of course, lust." COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 18. THE KING V. DOLBY.
