Mr. Wannes motion for reducing the expense of the Swiss Embassy to £l5OO a year, was negatived by a majority of 106, the same Parliament that reduced two Lords of the Admiralty and one Postmaster• General—all offi ces certainly of as much importance as that of " En voy. Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary" to —the Cantons of Switzerland ! Last night, in the House of i Pommons, Mr. Gout.- BURN moved for leave-to - bring in a Bill for relieving the distresses of Ireland by voting a sum of £50,000 to be employed in putting the people is a way of earning what will support them. This is, no doubt, the best mode of relief, and we are happy to see that Tilinisters, though somewhat late, are not inattentive to suffering Ireland. In the meantime the subscrip tion for the more immediate relief of the distressed is making rapid progress. From Bath, Liverpool, Ports mouth, Sheffield, Ipswich, Hereford, and several other towns, we have accounts either of subscriptions being raised or of Meetings convened for the purpose. A Meeting of the Magistrates and principal Merchants \burgh and Leith was held on Tuesday, when / liberal subscription was commenced. At fries a subscription has also been opened very 'cloudy ; and we feel assured that there will be a town of consequence in Great Britain , will not contribute its mite to this godlike work charity.

An article from Inborn states, that the Executive Government &Greece have announced two volun tary loans, to the amount of seven millions of , piastres, which it is expected will be soon raised. The Greeks are represented as having obtained two victories, one in Eubea, where they took Karystos, and the other at Sperchios, where the Turkish Commandant ME HEIIRD PACUA was killed. It was in consequence of the last victory that the inscrrection spread in Thessaly and Macedonia. The French Papers abound with details of the de solation occasioned by the hail-storms of the 7th and 10th inst. the last ravaged 25 Communes in the vi cinity of Auser;e, destroying every hope of a fruit or corn harvest ; the former was not less destructive in its effects. These papers contain some exaggerated account's of the state of Spain. MISAS and his followers, whose total defeat and flight to Trance is officially an nounced in the Madrid papers, are represented as spreading consternation, through Catalonia.

The Austrian Observer contains an account from Constantinople of the loss of the island of Scio (Chios). It states, that the garrison to which the Turkish gar ison retired is well suppliei with ammunition and provisions, and that the Turks will defend it to the last extremity. The following circumstance lately took place at Raab, in Hungary :—A building, which was for merly a Franciscan Convent, was put up to public auction ; the purchaser produced his power of attor ney, as agent for the Jesuits; this excited great sur prise, and he wai informed that a statement of this circumstance must be sent to Court for the Govern ment to decide. The Chancery decided that the pur chase was null, because the Jesuits were not recog nized by law as a corporate body. viz:iya, may 3.-31etalligkses:71i—Bank Shares, 666.

The Antiversary Meeting of the Subscribers and Friends to the Army Medical Officers Widows' Fund, was held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's, on IVednesday last, at six o'clock in the evening.— Nearly 100 persons , sat down to an excellent dinner, most of whom reside in the metropolis or vicinity.— Such a numerous company of medical men, many of whom hold the most eminent professional rank in London, perhaps never before assembled together for a convivial purpose in any age or country.

A number of toasts and healths were drank on the occasion, to which suitable and eloquent replies were made by some of the distinguished individuals pre sent. The company did not disperse till a late hour. , NATIONAL Scooots.—The Annual Examination of the Male and Female Children educated at the National Schools, on the B,itish System of Dr. BELL, took place at the Central School, Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane, the 15th instant, his Grace the Arch-' bishop of CANTERBURY in the Chair. Before one o'clock, the hour appointed for the examination, the very spacious School-room was crowded with a bril liant assemblage of beauty and fashion, attending to witness a sight so interesting to all who regard a careful juvenile education as the source of natit , nal prosperity and honour. About one o'clock the Rev. Primate took the Chair, suppotted• on his right and left by several Bishops. The room was immediately filled to excess.

A Petition was presented on Wednesday evening to the House of Commons from cer tain Magistrates of the parish of St. James, W estminster, against the abuses of the present system of licensing public houses. It was signed by Mr. BEAUbIONT, Mr. JACK son, and Mr. Atneasox. It stated, that the present discretionary power of licensing public-houses is not only wholly ineffectual for the purpose of keeping such houses in good order, but that it renders the property of them insecure, and in giving a monopoly of beer has a tendency both to enhance its price and to dete riorate its quality. The Petitioners suggested that the refusal of licenses should not be without appeal, and that if it should be thought necessary to restrict the opening of new houses, that would be most beneficially done by the imposition of a duty.—lt Is the first in stance of a body of Licensing Justices deprecating to the Legislature the unconstitutional powers with which they are endowed—and the Petition marks the bad tendency of tliose powers in clear and strong terms.

Yesterday, Thomas Jag, a ruin man holding the etnatinn of postillion in the service of his Mouser, was brought before b:r Rscttaan BIRNIE, at the Public Office Bow-street, by Thomas Gook, a constable of St. 11111Cei Parish, and another ofizer. charged with attempting to pick the pockets of upwards cf twenty persons, p and with actually stealing a watch, a ribald, and a seal, from the person of a Gentleman a: present unknown. —Gook, and his brother officer, deposed to the following facts : While the King was at Drury-lane Theatre on Wednesday ever ing,. they were on duty outside, and eney were accosted by a man in the crowd, who said* that One of the servants wearing the royal livery was actively engaged in picking pockets. Gook at first laughed at the assertion of the man, and said it was im possible—be must be mistaken : bat his informant awls quite positive of the fact, and pointed out the prisoner, whose persea was perfectly Well known to Gook as one of the postillions to the King. He and the other officer determined to watch hint, which they did for nearly two hours; and in that time saw hint try the pockets of upwards of twenty persons in the crowd, but he did so rather clumsily, and did not succeed. in getting aey thing. Ile thrust his hand even into the waistcoat and breeches pockets of several persons, and was by some struck and pushed away. At length when the door at which the King was to come out from the theatre was thrown open. the prisoner approached the side of the portico, and placed himself immediately behind a gentleman. who at the first creaking of the door bolts had t..ken of: - ' his hat and pressed forward, apparently anxious to greet his Ma jesty with a hearty salutat%an. Six or seven minutes, however, elapsed before the appearance of some of the attendants announce:l the approach of the King, and at that moment the Gentle men huzzacd rather loudly, at which the prisoner clapped his bands, but hissed loudly in the ear .of the Gentleman at the same time. The latter, upon hearing the discordant sound so close to redoubled his cheerings and waved his bat ; and at that in stant the prisoner threw both arms round his waist, and drew out his watch. The officers seized both his arms instantly. and Gook called to the Gentleman," Sir, you hove lost your watch :" but the latter replied that he 14e1 not, for that his steel guard dal saved it, and Gook then saw: the watch hanging by the guard outside the fob. They took the prisoner away, and desired the Gentleman to follow ; but just at that juncture the King entered his carriage, and in the confusion of the moment they lost ties. Sir RicataßD &arm asked the prisoner, who appeared at tl.e ha: in undress livery, if he had anything to say to the charze ?-- Uri . soner—" Yes, your Worship, I have this to say—that a good steel of what has been stated is false." lie went on to deny haei:l attempted to pick any pockets, and said, that he pet his 's the Gentleman merely to save himself from falling.—Thc officers solemnly declared that all they had stated was true, a!!(1 related a conversation which they had heard pass between the pri soner and a lad of known bad character,with whom he had shakea hands familiarly. Ihat lad said, among other things, " If I eats lay it on to-night, it will be as good as two months' work to me." This the prisoner admitted to be true.—Sir RICHARD HUME or dered the prisoner to be remanded until Monday nest, and es pressed a hope that the Gentleman spoken of would then come forward.
