master of England, they advised the same measure with respect to the Postmaster of Ireland. Mr. HUME asked if the same advice was given with re ference to the Postmaster of Scotland? The Marquis of LONDON DERRY stated, that the same principle of economy would have extended to Scotland, but the dory of that deportment differed from that of England and Ire land. The Postmaster in Scotland was not overpaid. Mr. & RICE then said, in consequence of the explanation given by the Noble Lord, he should beg leave to withdraw his notice on the subject, which stood for to-moreow. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. MARTIN rose to move the second reading of his Bill to prevent Cruelty to Horses. The Hon. Member adverted to the Bill of last Session, and observed that every endeavour bad been made to obviate objection, and render the present Bill worthy the sanction of the House. The Magistrates in London and 'Middlesex were friendly to the Bill, and coach-masters, waggon proprietors, butchers, and many others, were desirous it Should pass. Mr. Martin concluded his observations by moving the second reading. The ATTORNEY-GE: observed, that he did not consider it right to press the second reading of the Bill so late at night. Mr. MARTIN had no wish to deny the proper opportunity for discussion, and he consented to postpone the second reading. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the second reading of the Insolvent Debtors' Act Amendment Bill. Mr. HOBHOUSE did not wish to discuss the Bill at that late hour, but understanding it would undergo full discussion iu a Committee, he consented to the second reading. The Bill was accordingly read the second time, and com mitted for this day sc'nnight. On the motion of Mr. Asstrrnmov ' a Committee was ap pointed to inquire into tht Printing and Stationery of the House of Commons. • The Marquis of LONDONDERRY brought up the Returns, with an account of the names of all British Ministers sent to the Swiss Cantons, from the year 1752 to I7SS, and from 1790 to lile2.—Ordered to be printed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Rouse adjourned at One o'Clock. EN IAG STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1522. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Subscription at the South Sea House, in the opinion of many, will not be sufficient to enable the Company to undertake the Contract. The advantages are considered to be very great to the Contractors, and the want of capital will be the only rea son of its not being undertaken by that Company.

Of all the parties which in modern times have struggled for the ascendancy in the politics of Great Britain, there is not one, perhaps, so decidedly ob noxious as what is termed the Grenville party. Not sufficiently powerful in themselves either in cha racter, talents, or connections, they have been a sort of makeweight, always thrown into the scale when an undue preponderance was sought to be given; and there is not an instance in which they have refused an opportunity of obtaining power, whatever might have been the politics of the Ministers with whom they were called upon to coalesce. We have seen them successively both in the Ministry and the Op position, and, though often giving numbers, yet they never gave respectability to either. There was a taint upon the party which deprived them of the influence of character when in power . ; and when in opposition, they were always suspected of seeking to make the best terms for themselves, equally regardless of the interests of the country or the party to whom, for the time being, they had attached themselves. Thus for particular objects, though their assistance has been often courted, yet they have always been sincerely despised. This party, which has long been tried out of doors and con demned, will this night have to pass the ordeal of the House of Commons. immediate question at issue is the appointment trsling of the Grenville party, Mr.. HENRY N WILLIAMS WYNN, as Ambassador to the ;antons, with a salary of £3,900 per annum, Secretary at £5OO per annum, and £1,500 an outfit. We will not anticipate the deci- the House of Commons ; but now, when the economy is resounded from the Lands' End Oilneys, and when Ministers have been com o reduce one Postmaster-General and two of the Admiralty, we will ask on what prin. right, necessity, policy, or consistency, can attempt to vote away £6,000 in an Embassy to wiss Cantons? Did we not see the pertinacity sisters, and believe that they may stand pledged GRENVILLES in this job, we should not even, our former experience of their conduct, suspect capable of imposing this odious and cruel op ,n upon the country. accession of the Grenville party to the Mini was said to he in order to enable them to oppose the country Gentlemen, who, is esilets themselves with the Opposition on some imporsiut questioniieveited an alarm in the place-lovibtAdmlnlsitiltiOn. If this really was the case, it sheaved how much tile Ministers calcu lated on the flexibility of the party they bad engaged in this new species of contest. Indeed, of that no one ever entertained a doubt ; but we have some hopes that, notwithstanding this new accession of strength, Ministers will not still possess the power of carrying through the House of Commons so odious a measure as the Embassy to the Swiss Cantons--a job, which every honest man out of Parliament condemns, and which no prudent Minister would attempt to force upon a liberal, patient, bbt heavily oppressed People. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have reached us. The French are busily engaged in the elections, in which the struggles of party are strongly manifested. The foreign intelligent,* is unfavourable to the continuance of peace in the East. The Porte, it is said, refused to give any other answer to the Russian ultimatum than her note of the 2ilth of February.

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 10. The departure of the Capitpn Pacha for the Archi pelago, appears to indicate that Turkey believes itself safe on the side of the Danube. The capital is tranquil at present, but since the insurrection at Scio commerce has ceased entirely. Immediately on the event being known, the Greeks, natives of Scio, were put under surveillance, and a great number of rich merchants of that island being here, they have concealed themselves in distant quar ters of the city ; six of the wealthiest have, however, been arrested and imprisoned. The Bazaar is partly closed. New excesses have been committed in the suburbs. Since the 3d instant, the Asiatic troops passing through Smyrna to proceed to Samos and Scio, have daily assassinated Christians ; the latter dare no longer appear in the streets. TRIESTE, APRIL se. A vessel arrived yesterday, which left Smyrna on the 11th of April. According to the intelligence she brings, it appears certain that the insurrection of the Greeks at Scio had given rise to new excesses at Smyrna. The Turks had assassinated a consider able number of Christians of all nations. The greater part of the Greek Islands in the Archipelago are now in open insurrection. SEMLIN, APRIL Q. There is a report of a great battle, in which the Turks were defeated near Zilverni and Neopatra, and in which the Pacha of Dramina was killed. A letter written on board the Greek vessel Archi medes, after giving some details of the naval action of the 6th of March, adds—" Patras is strictly blockaded by six Greek vessels, under the command of Captain Apostolis. Nauglia, there is every reason to believe, will be soon in our power, if the English do not assist them. As we expect the near approach of the commencement of hostilities between Russia and the Turks, we have resolved to attempt the de liverance of the Isle of Chios, and to extend as much as possible the war of deliverance." LEIPSIC, APRIL 29. All the letters from Poland and Russia, brought by the last Courier, are for war. French Funds, May 11.-5 per Cents. 88f. 15c. This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring ing Frankfort Papers to the Bth inst. Their contents are not generally of so late a date as accounts previ ously received. The force of the Turks in the two Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia is said to consist of 18,000 men ; and on the right bank of the Danube, and between that river and Mount Humus, the Asiatic troops are stated to amount to twenty thousand men. The Oriental Spectator of Smyrna says, that strict orders have been issued by the SULTAN to all the Local Authorities, to punish with instant death any person whatever who shall disturb the public tran quillity. Through the- intercession of the French Consul, seven Mahometans, who were slaves to the Greeks at Tino, have been given up. The accounts from Constantinople in these Papers are not later than the 9th of March. They state, that on the 6th of that month patrols traversed all the streets of the capital, and 240 vagabonds were ar rested, and conveyed to the prison of the Aga ; 80 have been taken out to be strangled, and 160 sent on board the fleet. From that time Constantinople has been tranquil. It is stated that the SULTAN, not having ratified the treaty concluded between the Pacha of I3AGDAD and the Prince of KERMANSCHAH, is about to send four teen thousand men against the Persians. MEHSIET PACHA is also said to have set out with twelve thou sand men, to reduce the Morea. An article from Syra, dated 7th March, says On the Ist and 2d of February, two insurgent ves sels having cast anchor in the roads of Syra, effected a landing. The Greeks forced open several houses, plundered them, and carried off all the cattle. They il i so attacked and plundered an Austrian vessel from Constantinople, which the wi n d had compelled to cast anchor near them." On the 27th of February we saw a Greek vessel from the Morea arrive, on board of which were six Turkish slaves, a woman, a boy about twelVe years of age, and four little children, who were all taken at Corinth. The possessor of these slaves, not know ing what to do with them, was going to put them to We have received a file of .

Yesterday, a force of about 200 of the enemy presented itself tithe neighbourhood of Virgivima, which was completely routed, loving many prisoners In our hands. According en the declara tion of the prisoners, this wretched corps came confiding in the friendly disposition of the country, and calculated that it would not only find no difficulty in establishing itself on the heights of Virgivima, but indulged the hope of re-uniting all the bands with which the enemy supposed these valleys to be infested ; but they have received fresh proofs of the resolution of the inhabitants to maintain their liberty, and defend themselves against, the Spaniards.

Captain Stevenson gives the following additional information Porto Cabello was declared in a state of blockade on the 20th of February : a report was prevalent that the Royalists had evacuated Coro, and were on their retreat towards Porto Cabello.— There had been a skirmish of outposts near Valencia, on the 26th of February, in which the Royalists were defeated. On the 22d of November, General Sucre, of the Royal army, agreed upon terms of an armis tice, for ninety days, through the province of Quito, from which circumstance, it is supposed, General Bolivar would not proceed to the capital of Quito.

A Meeting was held at Carlisle on Thursday, for the relief of the distress in Ireland. The subscriptions in the room amounted to 2106. ss. The Committee commenced its sittire instanter; and Messrs..l. Dixon, HEAD, and Howson (Clerk et the Peace), agreed to proceed Immediately to purchase potatoes, and freight two vessels from Annan. Trade is always discovering new channels. We are now im porting ice from Norway and exporting potatoes to Ireland. The South-west districts of Staffordshire are still in an unsa tisfactory state, the miners generally refusing to work for the reduced wages, and the masters persisting in their determination not to employ them at the old ones. Indeed the *few masters who have hitherto continued to pay the old rate of wages have lately taken the determination of reducing them, a very numer ous meeting of the trade having been held at Walsall on Tuesday last, when it was unanimously resolved not to give any other wages than those for which the men refuse to work. In conse quence of the disposition which had been manifested to offer violence to persons and property, it was deemed advisable to make more extensive arrangements for preserving the peace of stie district, and four troops of the Yeomanry Cavalry were ordered ou duty in the neighbourhood till their places could be supplied by regulars. They have since been replaced by a de tachment of the 73d Regiment of Infantry, another of the Yd, and another of the Scotch Greys.

The wretched woman was placed at the Bar : the was co-- fined by a straight jacket, and appeared to be much agitated. The following witnesses were sworn, and examined.

She then repeated the words, Send fur an officer.' I wanted to send for a doctor, but she said it was of no use. She conducted herself like frantic woman, pulling her hair and clothes in an extraordia:4 manner. She also foamed at the mouth."
