blishments from their original purposes, by makingi ; hem exclusively Catholic. Mr. GRATTAN wished the Right Honourable Gentleman had the direction of these Schools. He was convinced it would be for the advantage of Ire land that Catholics and Protestants should be edu cated together; and he thought they might also sa fely, and with advantage to the country, sit in Parliament together. Colonel BARRY denied that Catholics were by this regulation excluded. There was a Catholic Bible now published, without note or comment, which Bible was approved by the Catholic Priesthood. Mr. BEECHER said, he knew several instances in which Catholic children had been removed from these Schools. Alter a few words from Mr.G RATTAN, COI. BA Ray, Mr. S. Rice, Mr. W. Suim, and others, the vote w as agreed to. The Resolution for £7OOO for the Dublin Society was adopted. • .£9230 for building Churches and Glebe-houses for the year was then proposed. Sir J. NEWPORT thought the First Fruits Fund should be appropriated to this purpose. This fund ' , would exceed 00,000, without pressure on any one. Mr. HUME thought inquiry into this fund should be instituted. He had no wish to meddle with the Church p r operty, except to see it more equally di vide,' than at present. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER de fended the grant and, after a few observations from MONCK, Mr. Hum; and others, the grant was agreed to.

Ministers have yielded to the declared sense of the majority of the House of Common., and withdrawn their opposition to the repeal of the Agricultural Borst Tax. On Mr. CURWEN% moving, last night, that the Bill for the repeal should be committed, the CHANCELLOR.. of the EXCHEQUER stated, that his Majesty's Government had resolved not to resist what they had ascertained to be the public opinion, how ever inconvenient it might be, in the present state of our finances, to relinquish a branch of revenue pm duang about half a million annually. Mr. BIRCH inquired whether Ministers proposed to substitute any new Tax? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that no such equivalent was intended. Mr. GRENFELL then wished to know how the defi ciency which the repeal of this Tax would occasion in the estimated revenue, was to be made up—whe ther by deducting an equivalent sum from the three millions and upwards, payable to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, or by an adequate retrench ment in the expenditure? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answered, that the repeal might be, per haps, felt at the end of the year, in the amount of the Exchequer Bills outstanding—that is, that Go verninent, in lieu of half a million, in money, which the repealed Elorse Tax would have ena bled them to pay, will probably be obliged to issue Exchequer Bills to that amount, or, in plainer terms, that the Government will take on credit what tley cannot pay for in cash. And this is what the 1- re r. Marquis of LONDONDIRRY is pleased so call a boots conferred oa the country! Mr. BROUGHAM pointed out the only way in which the repeal of this tax might be rendered of real benefit to the country ; but we confess we do not share in that Hon. Gentleman's expectations, that such will really be the result of the measure. He recollected, he said, that " on a former occasion, after the Estimates had been calculated on what his MA JESTY'S Ministers called the most economical prin ciples, that many millions of taxes were repealed. The consequence was, that new Estimates were after wards framed to meet this reduction of Income.— Such, he had no doubt, would be the result in the pre sent instance." If it be, we shall rank Mr. BROUGHAM among the Prophets. But, for the present, we put more faith is Mr. VANSITTART'S soothsaying. The Revenue will be less by half a million, and the float ing Debt will be just so much the more at the end of the year. Parliament has allowed the opportunity to go past for making up for the repeal of this Tax, by an equivalent reduction in the Expenditure. The Estimates for the year have been voted, and motions on motions for reducing them have been negatived. There has scarcely been an item, indeed, which ad mitted by possibility of reduction, on which Parlia- ent—thanks to Mr. Huste, and a vigilant few by whom he was supported—have not had an opportu nity of deciding whether they would reduce or not. Almost uniformly they have, after the most mature deliberation, decided, that what was voted was the least that could be voted ; and it is idle now to ex pect that Ministers will', of their own free choice, find a way to do with half a million less than what was granted to them as indispensably necessary. As we said, when first speaking of the repeal of this tax, there is an actual excess in the Revenue of the year above the Expenditure of nearly four mil lions, which, as matters are now regulated, are to be paid over to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, in liquidation of the old debt of the country; and it is in.this sum that the diminution caused by the re peal of the Agricultural Horse Tax ought to take place. Can anything, to persons who take only a common-sense view of matters, be more absurd than to pay off one half million of old debt, when, by doing so, we must incur, not merely an equal amount of new debt, but all the addition caused by the neces sary expenses of negotiating the two transactions? This may be called supporting credit; but it is sup porting it in a way which, if long pursued, must soon eat up every inch of the real capital. A mercantile house in the City has received a letter from Odessa, dated the 22d May, 1821. The intelligence which it contains is not only the most recent that has been received respecting Turkey, but since the last advices which arrived direct from Con stantinople, and which were of the 12th, is the most authentic of which we are in possession. The fol lowing extract presents all that is of a public nature: " I wrote you with extracts from your partner's letter, dated Constantinople, the 12th of May, by the last MaiL I have again a few lives from hint of the 14th instant, wherein be men tions that the Turkish fleet had sailed fur the Arches, nu doubt to scour those seas of the Idriotes and Ipsariots, who have armed their ships. Matters there were going on much more tranquilly. and I hope this sad business will be soon completely terminated. Galata, on the Danube, has been taken by the Turks, and all the inhabitants massacred. " The army of Prince Ypsilanti (if it deserves the name) is said to be only 8000 strong, ill-equipped, and worse disciplined / the Moldavian and Wallachians have risen against them, as they lived upon free quarters, and plundered the Churches. They retired on the frontiers of Austria, and tried, without suc cess, to excite the Servians to revolt. Some people, returned from thence, say, that everybody wishes to command, and none are willing to obey. _ ,0 The body of the Greek Patriarch is in the quarantine of this place; so careful is this Government of giving offence to the Turks, that our Governor has sent to St. Petersburgh for in structions whether or not a solemn funeral is to take place." We have received to-day a supply of German Papers of recent dates. They contain an extract from the Circular, addressed by the Prussian Mi nister of Foreign Affairs, in the name of his Sove reign, to the different European Courts, on the sub ject of the conferences at Laybach. It is in spirit precisely the same as the Circular conjointly issued by the Courts of Austria and Russia. It disavows, with equal solemnity, all intentions hostile to what' the Allied :Monarchs may be pleased to consider as real improvements—an assurance which is in its na ture abundantly superfluous. It proclaims the greatest respect for the independence and freedom of States. But against freedom, which goes the length of re bellion, it expresses implacable hostility, and declares it to be the determination of the Allies to oppose and combat it wherever they can reach it. The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this forenoon. A letter from Augsburgh, of the 11th of June, is quoted, which states, that an Extraordinary Council of State had been held at Vienna, under the Presi dency of Prince Myrreanicu, Minister of Foreign Affairs, shortly after the arrival of a Courier with dispatches from the Austrian Legation at Constanti nople. It is added, that at the breaking up of this Council, an extraordinary courier was dispatched for Warsaw and Petersburgh. There is no other news in these Papers of the least importance.

The Royal South Gloucester Regiment of Militia, commanded by Colonel Be , are to assemble at Gloucester on Saturday, the 7th July, for twenty-one days training and exercise. The 91st Regiment, at Belfast, is now under orders to em bark for Scotland. Jamaica is said to be its destination. The party of the 79th, under Ensign C , at Nenagh, was on Monday se'nnight relieved by a detachment of the 40th, from Templemore. The 35th Regiment has moved from Athlone, to occupy the station of the 91st. The 37th Regiment for three years stationed in Lower Canada, is about to leave that Colony for Eng land. On the 7th instant, the Airdrie Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, in Lanarkshire, and the corps of Volunteer Infantry, marched in military order to Airdrie-hill, about a mile east or the town, where a mock engagement took place. Both Cavalry and In fantry exhibited considerable knowledge in attack and defence ; and their different evolutions, executed with the nicest precision, were witnessed with delight by almost almost all the inhabitants I of the town and neighbourhood. The Linlithgowshire Yeomanry Cavalry go upon permanent duty on Monday next. Wednesday, the wife of one of the Guards, now quartered in Carlisle, in making a fire, sprinkled some powder upon the grate, thinking it would cause the fire to kindle sooner, when it exploded, and literally burnt the shift from bet back, without dangerously injuring her, and blew the window of the room out with great violence!

Eztract of a private letter from Cape Hayden, dated the 6th May : " Data FITIIIVI,4 have not received any letters from you since the arrival of Mr. since which we have constantly lived IA a state of uncertainty and trouble. Two conspiracies against the Government have been discovered, and several per sons shot, amongst whom the old Governor of this town, who was the first to take up arms against Christophe. In one week twenty persons were shot: at the present moment two regi ments are in the prisons. About a week ago the cannon were drawn out, and every preparation made for a battle in the town ; but at length the rebels, to the number of 1,200, laid down their arms—and we never know if we are safe or not. Business goes on as bad as possible. The town of Gonaives has been entirely plundered, and we expect the same will happen here.—l have had my trunks twice on board. Blue light signals are made every night, in case of need to make our escape on board. A great number of persons go on board the vessels every night, fearing to be taken by surprise during the night. At one period an attempt was made to blow up the powder magazine, which was fortunately prevented, otherwise half the town would have been destroyed. Affairs are by no means settled here. Provi sions are the only articles that can be sold : the repeated com motions have so alarmed the merchants, that they only buy small quantities. Connected with that are the political proceed ings of the President In drawing every dollar from the Treasury. On the 27th the President left the Cape, with rOCO men, for Port Dauphin, to check some disturbances there." FUNERAL OP THE COUNTESS OP LTVERPOOL.,-.—The remains of the Countess of Lwattroot. were, at nine o'clock this morning, removed from Fife House, Whitehall, for interment in the family vault, at Hawkesbury, in Gloucestershire. The funereal ca valcade consisted of the hearse and three mourning coaches, followed, as far as Knightsbridge, by seventy two Noblemen's carriages. SLAVE TRADE—Seven hundred and seventy.two Negroes arrived at Bahia on the 6th April, in three Portuguese schooners, from Ambris, Anjola, and Cabinda 1 Advices have arrived from Pernambuco and Bahia; from the former to the 50th of March, and from the latter a fortnight later. Letters have also been re ceived from Rio Janeiro, by way of France, eight days later than by previous arrivals. The preparations for the departure of the King of Portugal continued ; but, up to the end of March, his Majesty had not left Rio Janeiro. The understanding was, however, that his departure would not be delayed much longer; but that, in consequence of his suite being consi derably more numerous than was first contemplated, the preparations were necessarily snore extensive.— It is mentioned, that a number of the richest Portu guese families were to be accommodated on board the fleet coming to Europe, who apprehended that fresh disturbances would break out as soon as the King should leave Rio de Janeiro, where a rumour prevailed that the Duties on foreign manufactures would be augmented. At Pernambuco and Bahia, the King had gained universal popularity by his speedy accession to the new Constitution, although it was only a short time back that the ringleaders, in a for mer attempt at revolution in Pernambuco, were exe cuted, and their heads stuck on the tops of poles, and exhibited in the most public situations.

King HENRY the Sixth, on being rebuked for the meanness of his attire by the Earl of WARWICK, is said to have replied, It becomes a King to excel his subjects in virtue, not in vesture." It is an old saying that « The KING'S cheese is lost in the parings." The observation strictly applies to the collection of the revenue in Ireland. Mr. MASH has left town for Dublin, to give the necessary directions for his MAJESTY'S reception. A Dublin Paper says, 44 It may appe.o !:ordering on the ludicrous to advert seriously to the old saying, g When the King comes to Mullingar e but u e have been assured, that many old leases, now bec. me very valuable, exist in that neighbourhood, the tenure of which is, until the King comes to Mullingar,' and that in consequence of the great probability now of such an event, which was then in all likelihood con sidered as a lease for ever, several persons are in great apprehensions respecting the royal visit. Per haps our readers of black letter learning, could throw some light on a matter, which, if founded in fact, we may certenly expect to cause petitions to his MAJESTY, not to approach Mullingar r Tuesday, a merchant's clerk, in Ldinburgh, ab sconded with a sum of money, upwards of £lOO, with which he had been sent to one of the banks.

A salesman, hitherto of great respectability, in Covent-Garden Market, was charged at Bow-street, on Saturday, as a common utterer of base coin— nine new counterfeit shillings were found on his per son, carefully wrapped up in tissue paper. W. Allen, a drover, was fined 20s. ou Saturday, at Guildhall, for cruelly treating some sheep, in the vi cinity of Newgate Marker. This was on a laudable prosecution of Mr. MARTIN, KR fo r Galway. Tuesday a fire broke out in the stables of the baths .at Helensburgh, on the banks of th e Clyde, which, in fifteen minutes, completely destroyed the whole of the outhouses. The horses were all got out, but some carriages and a great quantity of harness were destroyed, as were also some pigs, which could nut be got out of the flames. A storm of hail, thunder, lightning, and rain, oc curred at Carlby, Lincolnshire, on Sunday se'nnigbt, so severe that afternoon service was delayed by Order of the Minister: this was most fortunate, for an im mense ball of electric fire, accompanied with a tre mendous explosion, fell into the steeple of the Church, set the rafters in flames, melted the lead, drove down part of a wall, and did other serious damage.
