Sir JOHN NEWPORT—As the Honourable Gentleman meant to bring in so many Bills, he sup. gested to him the introduction of another, which, in Isis opinion, was very desirable—a Bill to abolish the Board of Works in Ireland; on the inutility of which a Committee of that House had already pronounced. setzuttm AT wommten.

Sir OSWALD MOSELY presented a Petition, signed by a number of the most respectable MeV. chants, manufacturers, and warehousemen in the City of London interested in the exportation of Cotton piece goods. He said they complained of the expor tation of Cotton-yarn being permitted. They repre sented the exportation of Cotton-yarn as producing effects tux only detrimental to their own interests, but as impolitic in a national point of view, as it °illy served to teed and encourage foreign manufactures, and to. give theta an undue ad*antage over those of outs country.- ri - • , The-Petition was theninioukhewp and read. On the motion that it thluM Aetna the table, - Mr. PHILLIPS said, ,ttiarhi - the subject of this Petition was very interestirig,toAbe manufact}ie4 districts, ,he could not allow it to pass without a rew, words. He complained that the principle on *bleb. the Petitioners grounded their representation to the Haus*, was illiberal end impolitic. The returns of the amount of die imports, and exports proved that there was an excess of 6,000,000 lbs. of the cotton' woul imported, over the quantity exported, and this eacese was.nt course, absorbed and-wrought op in the British nt.inufactories of yarn. Most nations of the Coosigent had imposed very heavy duties on the im portation of British cotton yarn, audio many of these wiliest& the amount of the duty amounted to a total prohibition. If , therefore, any new duty was laid on the eeportatkr of cotton yarn from this country, it Wastkuito evident that it would put an end to the ma. salaam of cotton yarn in this country. Already it was almost impossible to effect any sale of cotton psi eicthe Continent. _ .Lord STANLEY thought restrictions on the ex: motion of cotton yarn would only excite expect:lA tiers which he was afraid might prove illusory. Sir OSWALD MOSELY Moved that the Petition. should lie on the table and be printed, which wai 'Seed accordingly. .

Broverleglslating, instead of Living lives, they will end.inger thitexistence of thou sands, by depriving them of the means of subsistence; and do incalculable mischief to numerous mine proprietors and landholders. Let the motives of those who urge such interference be thoroughly weighed, and they will be found to rest either on ig , norance; or, what is worse, on sinister views of private interest. The question of the Exportation of Cotton Yarns was alsoiast night brought before the Hand by Sir 0. Hoene presenting a Petition from the Merchants I and others interested in the exportation of Cotton Piece Goods. The Petition, after alluding to the extent to which this manufacture had been carried, and the great capital embarked in it in this country, states, that Foreigners are now in the habit of buy ing our yarns instead of piece goods, which yarns they are enabled to convert into piece goods at a lower price than ourselves, owing to the cheapness of labour and provisions, in consequence of which the sale of piece goods is daily declining—and there fori prays the Honourable House to take the matter into consideration, and adopt Kris measures as may prevent the loss of this valuable trade. We are not entirely without hope that Parliament will be induced to interpose its authority to prevent the feeding of the manufactures of our foreign rivals at the expense ofour own. Some , foreign countrie s actually levy at this mom en t m ime jn.duties 'on our yarns than our workmen receive trop the same article in the shape of wages; and %him are daily aug usenting the duties on these yarinii Aith the ultimate view of prollibitir.g them eqtirsly . when their own machinery may have come to that perfection which ' may enable them to supply themselves. In fact our rivals have commenced a commercial war, and in self defence we must meet them by a counteracting system, or submit to lose our Cotton trade entirely. The case of Meg Rim. whose husband was executed last week, and who was tried herself the same day for an attempt to aid him in his escape, was brought before the House by Sir J. bfacennwitu. A general feeling 4f commiseration was excited by the narrative of this poor woman's case. The Palaces Rumor had previously given her a tree pardon. The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday last have arrived.—Their columns are almost entirely. Ailed with the details of the public rejoicings on the Sd inst. being the anniversary of the KINO's return to. Paris. It is an epoch, the Courtly. Journalists say, which will be eternally dear to the hearts of all Frenchmen, and the annual- celebration of which will form one of their most beautiful fetes! Eternally dear indeed—though within no more than one short year of that very glo 'rious epoch, they per mitted BONAPARTE to drive their 'beloved Brno once again fronthi t s i r faithful" capital ;bpd fine" kingdom, withops . e. s gle arm being ,raised in his defence. It is a piFikl spectacle to see .the vanity of Royalty thus aportimNith the truth and 'honour of a great people. Lsrz i ,antf his Ministers, might, we think, have been a more choice in their selection of occasions for rejoicing. It would seem as if they had yet to learn how much more the stability of the Bourbon Restoration must depend on forgetting much, than commemorating any thing. While these exhibitions of real or pretended loyalty me going °kat Paris, letters of a very recent slate from Barbadoes mention that the Royalists and Bo napartist& have again broken oat into open warfare in Guadaloipe. A vessel which arrived there from France, hatikpread a report that the tri-coloured Sag nes flying . .ki Toulouse and Bostrcleanz ; the Bona- Partin' immediately mustered in force ; some fight . ing toot *ix,. and about 30 on 'both silks were killed or weeddesl. in an snick from Madrid, some notice u atiength taken of the warlike preparation .which have been recently making by the " Regency of Potrocm— ,el We have teoops," says the Spanish Gazetteer, in Andalusia, in Estremadura, and in the Kingdom of Leon.

Ayres, it is impossible for their Government to pass over such an insult."— In the meanwhile, it appears by letters from Cadiz, received yesterday in London, that the expedition which lately left that port is loond to the Spanish Main, and was dispatched ebeitvin great baste, in order to protest the Royalist nose in that gamer. not less front 'foreign interference than from internal aggression. It eonsiatal ofnbantl7oo men. Ano dise small expedition, it is milk. irpaparing to double Cape Horn, and land either in Chili or Arica. It will carry out 800 or 1000 men.

It was stated by the Secretary. that no ten: der had been made since. the last day of meeting. Upon this subject there arose a conversation, the re sult of which was a resolution, that the interval be tween the present seism and the next, should be dew. led to exertion to let the Theatre.

Navy STOCIG—The pretended ar rangement, recently published, about paying off this Stock, are mere fabrications, and probably for the purpose. of alarming the Holders of it in the Coun try.
