DOMING .80CI En M. Sir M. %V. RIDLEY sow to state, that in conse quence of what passed last night, he did not think it sacrum to press his motion aLthe present moment. Sit at the *Ube time he ought to say that he might feel it to be his duty to bring the question before the blouse at some subsequent period, because the case tithe Academical Society was not the only one in which a construction had been put upon certain lava inimical to the rights of the subject. The City Phi hophical Society, established in 1808, lead applied far a bcense on the 14th of April, in coosyquence of the late Act against Seditious Assemblies; and, mot:0141g as it might appear to the House, the l•tense had been relusetl l --(llear, hear). The grounds, : , rare%er, %%ere not the same as those in the former cue; they were required. as the condition of having their license -granted, to give in the number and nettes of then members, with a full statement of the questions to be discussed. The House would be still. more astonished to learn, that the Recorder of Lon dos was one of the Magistrates upon this occasion 1- (I?far, hear). If such was the interpretation of the Inv by such high judicial authority, what might not be the construction put upon this Statute by infetior lil.gi.tiates- r • (Bear, hear) ? One objection against the City Philosophical oociety was, that it professed to invenigate the science o: Mineralogy, which was said to be eldculated to encourage blasphemy— (Nor, hear, and I s laugh). Now he thought that if the Nonie Secretary of State could find time to write CutalarLetters, instructing Magistrates to abridge the liberty of the subject, he might direct them as to the intention of this Act, explaining the limits to which alnne it could justly be carried—(Near, hear). The Honourable Baronet then moved liar a Copy of the Petition presented to the Quatter Sessions,- on the 18th of April, by the Society cf Academics in Chan c:ry L ane , requesting that a license might be granted to them to held a debating Society, with the order made thereon. Mr. BRAGGE BAT HU RST said he wished those who cheered the attack upon the Noble Secretary of State lur the Home Department would submit a °ikons instead of throwing out insinuations, by which his character might receive the judgment of that House. Howeier they might wish it, still it was not the business of that Minister to construe and :plain A cts of Parliament to Magistrate;--(Lord oi4 of Hear.)

On the second reading of the Salt Duties Bill, Mr. Cut.csu►rr withdrew his opposition to it, and ex pressed his conviction that next Session . would put an cud to the tax on this commodity Altogethers • A Mail from Hamburgh arrived last night. A letter in The Correspcodent, dated Algiers, 191 Fe- bruary, states, that the activity of the Dri has wholly, repaired the damages sustained by the attack of Lord EZMoUTU. The principal loss sustained Was in the pirate fleet and the batteries, for it seems that the arse nals, the magazines and workshops, the ammunition, stores and provisions, escaped almost entirely. The fortifications are noi► stronger than before, and the marine,. by purchases and newly built vessels, is in creasing abolition of Slavery is laughed at by the Algerines; sot they can go to war when, and with whom they please. and to them it is a mat. Ter of indifference whether they call their captives slows 'or prisoners of war. The Trade and Coral Fishery at Bona, which wits, rented by the English from 1806 foe 50,000 hard piastres, has been offered to the French and Neapoli tans on the same terms; bat the French, who at a former period bad the privilege fqr 18.000, have not yet accepted the offer. Though cern is abundant in the country, the Div prohibits its exportation, wishing first to see the affair of the Bona fishery settled—perhaps foolishly per suading himself that there is such a scarcity of cern in Europe, as will induce France to accede to his • high demand, for the purpose of obtaining wheat 1 Denmark adopts at a part of her policy, and it has been found highly beneficial—the principle of a free trade in corn. The balance in her favour on the corn trade is stated, on an average of some years, as 4250,000 sterling.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning, bilt ate wholly barren of intelligence. Madame D'ASGELY, %ViioSe arrest we noticed yesterday, is the wife of the celebrated RI:GNAULT DE ST.

BI ACAS may be found not to have betn journeying in vain. A Paris Paper contradicts the report of the Prin cess of WA iss's intended retnrn'to her villa, on the lake 01 Como; and affirms, on the ae'hority of pri• vate letters from Munich, that she will be in Paris before the Ist of May, and will svjonrn there for some weeks.—French Funds, 27th inst. 67 1.

Report says that it was not the indisposition cf h, DIAJttaTY ..lone that prevented the Drawing-Rdooi the 23d instant; but that the remonstrance of a t.neign Potentate in favour of an illustrisus Lady had its influence on the occasion. Nothing but the circumstance of that Lady's not having been yet pre .ented at Court has kept 11'4 from going abroad with her Royal Consort. The Princess CiLtaLorre abstains from all crowd ed assemblies, and lives entirely at Clermont, on ac count 01 her interesting situation. But she has invited a select party to pass the anniversary of her hams marriage with her on Friday next. She gives some music on the occasion, and has Madame FODOR, Mr. 'and Miss NALDI, to sing for the entertainment of her gucsis.

At bait-past eight o'clock the nuptial ceremony took place, and was performed by the Bishop of Woa- CaSTIM. The bride was dressed in a most beautiful sprig Blusstls point dress, richly :rimmed with nit Macklin lace, over a slip of ribbed white satin ; her head.dress was elegantly neat, without any profusion of brilliants. She were a diamond necklace, dia mond ear-rings, diamond bracelets, and white satin sheet. The elegance of her dress was in unison with her symmetry and beauty. Her appearance was highly interesting. At nine o'clock the happy couple and suite left Northumbes land House, in two car riages and four, for Sion House, where they will pass the honey-moon.
