Mr. GR EWELL complained of what he consi dered a delusion on the part of the Bank, which had Fu t)lished its intention of paying in cash all the notes .hat had been issued prior to a certain date, when the Ct wAS, that no notes of that description existed.— (Pear, hear.)—He had applied for such notes at three ..1 the principal banking-houses in London, and was r.ld that they had had none within the prescribed Este for a long time. The assertions, then, of the p ; g in Him. Gentleman, (the Chancellor of the Ex cllequer,) that the Bank had resumed its cash pay ments WAy perfectly nugatory, and he should like to hear what the Right Hon. Gentleman meant by cash payments. Mr. P. MOORE thought it necessary that an an -Aver to this statement should be given by the Right :ion. Gentleman, because as long as any notes under AlO were refused payment in cash, there could not beany resumption of cash payments. lie hoped an answer would be given as to what was meant by cash payments. Mr. PONSONBY thought it was extremely unfair of his two Honourable Friends to urge this question, because they well knew what the answer was which the Right Hon. Gentleman would be able to give. It could be only for the purpose of a bit of a flourish that they put such a question, the answer to which might be anticipated by every man who was in the slightest degree acquainted with the subject. The Report was then agreed to 6 Mr. PONSONBY said he should put a ()nation to the Right Honourable Gentleman, which he knew he could answer, and had no doubt, from the amica ble temper which distinguished him, would not be met in silence. He then proceeded to put his ques tion, which was similar to that put by Mr. Tierney ire the early part of the evening. The CHANCELtOR. of the EXCHEQUER skid, the reason why be had not answered the two Honourable Gentlemen was, because be had an sacred tie same question three times at least already —(Hear, and a laugh).—The last question put by the Right Honourable Gentleman he had only answered once that evening, and therefore he should have no objection to go thrtiugh the ceremony again—(d heigli)—He then repeated the answer be had given to Mr. Tiesney. Mr. PONSONBY replied, that he had not pot the question before, nor heard the answer, till that..mo- Event. It appeared then from the statement of the Right Honourable Gentleman, that fifty-two millions some odd hundreds still existed in an unfunded .debt, and that provided for" meant unprovided fos-- Wear, hear). Mr. BARING did not think the answer sufficiently clear and explicit. He wished to know whether, at the end of the year, the amount unprovided for be fifty-two millions, when the sixteen millions said to be provided for was paid off? and further, whether the nine millinus voted for the *merit year would make the whole sixty-one millions, or would it be that amount minus the sixteen millions said to be provided for ? He wished to know the total - amount of the unfunded debt under these circumstance:. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the sixteen Millions would be provided for ►y fresh issues, according to the Acts which had passed on the subject, and that the total amount at the end of the year could not be much less than what appeared in the return laid upon the table. • ACCOMMODATION TOR THE DIVINE WORSHIP 01 THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. The House having gone into a Committee to eon sider the best means of affording further accommo dation for Divine Worship, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated his object to be, the giving authority to private persons, so disposed, to erect churches and chapels ; and secondly, to allow the majority of a parish to impose a rate for that purpose, in parishes where an adequite number of churches or chapels is not pro vided-rwithoot obtaining, as in the case of other rates, the sanction of Parliament. The Clergyman was to be paid from the sale of pews, but provision was to be made for the accommodation of those who could not purchase them, and there might also be an accommodation of Eachequer Bills to facilitate the carrying the object into effect. Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought that a proportion of at least three-fourths of the parishioners should be rendered necessary. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that would be matter for future consideration. Mr. LOCKHART hoped it would be provided that such parts as belonged exclusively to the Rector, such as the Chancel, should be repailed at the Rec tor's-sole expense. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER' said, there'could be no question about repairs, as the Churches were to be all new. Mr. GORDON wished to know whether it was intended to apply the whole or any part of the money voted for -National Monuments to the building of Churches,-as had been suggested ? • Mr., BANKES said, the sum of 41,000,000, or A 3.000,000 would go but a little way in building two Churches suited to the grandeur of the achievements they were to commemorate. Aker a few words from Sir T. ACLAND, General HORNTOS, and Mr. HUSKISSON, - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Proposed his Resolution, " That leave be given to bring in a Bill to authorise the erection ot . Churches mad Chapels, in Parishes where there is not adequate accommodation for Divine Worship according to the kites of the Church of England, upon an application from the majority of each Parish desiring to resort thereto." The Resolution was agreed to, and (the 1 - louse having resumed) Wave was given. The other Orders were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. • The Leeds listeiligencer, in a third Edition of Mon day last, states that John Smaller, of . Horbury, and James Mann, of Leeds, were fully committed for trial by the Magistrates of Wakefield. This is agross mss -statement; they were discharged by the Magi'. tracy, but Were immediately taken into custody by a king's Messenger, under a warrant of the Secretary of State, granted on the infotmation of Oliver..., (Leeds Mercsay.)

The Suspension Bill was read a second time last 'night. On the division the numbers were, for the second reading SO, against it W. On this occasion Lord Deunnul4 w ho had voted for the first Bill, 4 . declared his conviction that sow the . safety of the country required nothing but the usual course of the laws, and therefore he felt it to be his duty to vote against the present Bill. The Town of Dewsbury having of late been re-, peatedly alluded to in the Public Papers in such a manner as to bring the conduct of its inhabitants into a seeming discredit in the present situation of political affairs, the, Clergy, Ministers, Churchwardens, Con stable, other Parochial Officers and principal Inha bitants have signed and published a Declaration, f , That, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there does not exist, nor ever has existed, any Society of People in that Township, who are or ever - hre been in the habit of meeting or assembling toge&r for any political purpose whatever, save such as the Con stitution and Laws of the Country warrant; nor have they any grounds to believe or suspect that there exists any conspiracyof any kind whatsoever in that populous Township inimical to, or subversive of, its peace and good order, and the general tranquillity of the coun try at large ; and, moreover, that there have not been found in that Township any individuals who have suffered themselves to be seduced to attend the Meet ings which have been promoted by those political missionaries or spies who have been recently detected, and who, with intentions the most criminal and dia bolical, haveendeavoured to inflame the minds of the lower 'classes to acts of treason and open rebellion, for the purpose alone of betraying them ; and, fur ther, that the suffering inhabitants of that place bear, and have borne, their privations with patience and fortitude, under the pleasing hope, that ere long com merce would revive and flourish, and that they would thus be enabled to earn, by the sweat of their brows, that maintenance for themselves and families to which they are justly entitled." - The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning. The price of Corn continues still on the , declirie.—. Already we have annonnced a fall of 14 francs per sack at Paris; and we learn that on Saturday there was a farther reduction of 10 francs. At Lyons, Auionne, Colmar, Strasburgh, and other places, a corresponding decline has also taken place. The crops present eiety 'where the promise of a most luxuriant harvest; and it is not doubted that plenty with its almost invariablaconcomitant, popular trio.. mill be soon re-established throughout the kingdirin. The French Funds have also experienced a re markable decline, but for reasons which are not quite so obvious. On Saturday the 5 per cents. had fallen to 63 fr. 40 c. being 3 fr. 40 c: lower than the, were some few weeks ago. The necessity which the Government mill be under of retorting to a New Loan, is.reported, and we think with some probabi. l lity, to be the cause of this depression. At the recent' meeting of the French Ministers and Ambassadors of the Allied Powers, at the house of the Duke of War.- 1 LINGTON, the most important part of the discussion is understood to have referred to the inability of the French Government, at the present moment, to eon tinne the payment of the Contributions to the Allied Powers; and an uncertainty as to the result, may naturally have had a depreciating effect on the Money Market. A private Letter from Vienna states, that the news of the late insurrection at Pernambuco having at last transpired in that capital, had produced a great sensation. The &emote immediately dispatched couriers after the Princess his daughter, and no doubt is entertained that she will now repair provi sionally to Lisbon. The Regency of Portugal have issued a Procla mation on the subject of the late Conspiracy, so disgraceful, they say, to the hereditary loyalty of the Portuguese, iu•which they direct, that the individuals accused shall be immediately prosecuted. sold, if guilty, punished with all the rigour of the law. In Spain, it is generally rumnured, that the polity cal persecutions, by which the Government has made itself so opprobrious in the eyes of the world, are at last about to be put an end to by an Act of Amnesty. By the Leeward Island Mail that arrived this morn ing we have received the following Letter : " ST. THOMAS'S.

Friday se'nnight, Mr. BAKER, a spirit merchant of Hythe, accompanied by two brothers, John and Edwards Pryce, Lucas, Mercer, Collins, and —Philpot, embarked in a 'man galley (techni cally termed a Death), on a trip to France s shortly after their departure a gale sprung up, and there is not the least doubt but they have found a watery grave ; the stern of the galley having been picked up at anchor of Virnereux, and brought to Hythe on Thursday lag. None of the bodies have been found. Mr. BAKFI has left a widow and eight children, and four others of the party were married men, having families. On the Ilth instant it blew a dreadful gale, veer ing from S. S. E. to S.S. W. which in the evening shifted to the N. W. Two Mackerel boats were lost in Mount's Bay, and 'their crews, consisting of four teen persons, perished ; leaving 11 widows and SO children to lament their loss. On Sunday and Mon day the nets belonging to 'these boats were taken up near the Lizard, by a pilot boat belonging to St. Mime's. On the corks of the former the body of one of the sufferers, named John Lee, was found. The poor fellow, being an excellent swimmer, got the net together, and lashed himself to the corks. The sur geons who have examined the body, think that he had not been' dead 24 hours, and had expired from fatigue and want of nourishment. E. Nash, 14 years of age, was on Monday knocked down by the pole of Lot d Pomfret's carriage, in Park lane, when the wheel went over his head, by which his jaw-bone was fractured, and he was carried home in an apparently dying state. GOTTENBURUU, JUNE 13.—From some cause, with which we are at present unacquainted, a most liniotis fire broke out yesterday morning it about one o'clock, in the warehouses of the tar-wharf, situated at Tli singen, opposite the old Arniralitit's waitron (Admi ralty wharf). These warehouses, together with about 4000 barrels of pitch and tar (which were housed there), were in a few hours devoured by the flames. Our worthy Governor, together with several Civil Officers, came to the spot with all possible dispatch ; and their presence greatly stimulated the inhabitants to use their utmost exertions, but all labour was of no avail. The flames, which at first were confined to the western side of the building, were shortly (in consequence of &strong westerly wind) driven with such violence over to the eastern, as to render the preservation of any part of the buildings impossible. We stated snme days ago that Myer had been at Liverpool in the course of his tour. On this subject the following letter appears in one of the Journals (4 this day : TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. " Liverpool, June 21, 1817. Sta—As I consider every fact of importance which can rend Ito develops the proceedings of Oliver, I beg to state to you, Slut l about four or five weeks since he made his appearance here.

Pendrille bras the man who accreted the younger Watson, and Clarke was the Chairman of the Spableis Meeting. They waited for him some time, and received letters from him, dated London ; a day or two alter his arrival here, be stated that his luggage was lost, and that hes must go and seek - it.

Among whom were Earl PERCY, Lord WILLIAM GORD)N, Sir THOMAS LAW. BENCE, M. TALMA, &c. and we must add, that we never saw him perform the character of Coriolania with more animation, strength, and spirit, than on this occasion, as if he was determined u) leave a full impression of his-merits on the public mind, and a model of his art for his successors. To gratify the wishes of the Performers, he distributed srveral of the articles which he had used among them —to one the wreath which he had worn, to another hi 3 gloves, to another his handkerchief.
