I Mr. DAVENPORT said he must declare, without hvsiration, that it was a most ill-advised measure to have left the Queen's name out of the Liturgy. But when he recollected the letter she wrote to the King, and her answers to the various Addresses that had been presented to her, he did not think that her name ought to be restored to the Liturgy, as it was a privi lege which, by her conduct, she had forfeited. Mr. L (MB said, he did not think that the Act of Uniformity sttictly entitled the Queen to the privi lege in question—(Hear, hear). The object of that Act was to establish a particular form of prayer; but, in the construction of the Act, there must have been a. power to make alterations according to circum stances; and, he believed, that the words of the Act gave no such right as was contended for. It never was meant that such a right existed under all cir cumstances of improper conduct or degradation. The case of the wife of George I. must be a case in point, unless she had been divorced a' .viaralo matri monii ; fur she was, in point of law, a Queen. In deed, it would be highly improper in that House to decide on legal questions of this kind. It was said, that as the Queen now stood, and as no Bill of Pains and Penalties was passed, this point ought to be con ceded to her ; this he denied. It had been said in the course of the debate, that. her Majesty was endowed with great- sagacity and propriety of mind. These gel:dines, then, which she so eminently posiessed, ought to induce her nct to encrease the agitation which now so generally existed throughout the coun try, and even to concede something. At the same time, he thought a great deal ought to be conceded by Ministers. He would then vote for the present proposition. because the constant usage was that of having the Queen's name in the Liturgy; and because it was conformable to the opinion already enter tained by the great majority of the People. When ever the opinions of the People were mischievous, they ought to be manfully resisted; but in matters like the present, he thought it would be highly poli tic to concede to public opinion —( Hear, hear). Mr. BRIGHT contended, that the prerogative of the King was not infringed by the Act of Unifor mity; and he conceived that the clause in that Act did no more than compel the Sovereign to insert the Queen's name in the Liturgy, a . power which before had been optional. There was, however, no prece dent for such an exclusion as this. - The Act of Uni formity was only conformatory of the old law; and they ought both to co-operate with each other. He fully concurred in the motion, not only on the ground of law, but of expediency. The country had been in a state of the greatest agitation: the middle and the lower classes had been brought together to concur in the same sentiment ; and thus a great portion of those who had been endeavouring to overturn the Consti tution, came into contact with the better and more respectable orders—(Hear, hear). SirJOHN MARJORIBANKS spoke in opposition to the motion; but the cries for the question were so laid and incessant, that scarcely a word of what the Hon. Member said could be heard. Mr. Alderman BRIDGES said, he had no doubt but that the sacred veneration which the English People had for the religion of their country, would point out to them the impropriety of having the Queen's name in their Prayer Books, after the Repo sures that had already taken place respecting her conduct and character. The call for the question now proceeded from all parts of the House; and, after some time, the House was cleared of strangers. A division then took place, when there appeared— Against the ntotion 998 For it /1/.ljurity in fallow of Alinisters —l2O Several Members - were shut out at the time the House divided, among whom were Lord SarroN, Sir R. Faacusow, Sir It. WILSON, Sir J. SERRIGHT, Mr. LASIBTON, Mr. CREEVEY, and Mr. R. MARTIN. GRAMFOUND DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the House should go into a Committee on this Bill. Mr. MAXWELL took that opportunity of notify ing to the House his intention, on• some future occa sion, should the principle of that Bill be adopted for the purpose of general amelioration of the political, condition of the manufacturing districts, to propose , the investiture of Glasgow in privileges, such as had been extended to Leeds. He did not press any amend anent to that 13W, because his Noble Friend seemed to wish as little difference of opinion on it as possi ble. Ile anxiously wished the success of the excel-1 lent intentions it disclosed. Glasgow contained I 1.50,0(X) inhabitants, and was' most important from situation, knowledge, and talents. He should pro pose, on a future occasion, to suggest the propriety of having its interests personified in that House, and its important affairs entrusted to a Representative well acquainted with its concerns, and enjoying its toll confidence, not only from private worth, but from commercial knowledge. He should not further in- 1 made on the House than to solicit its consideration of his preposition ; and to recollect that it could only be considered as having an interest there once in about twenty-six years. The House then resumed, and the Report was brought up and read, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Friday se'nnight. The Report of - the Queen's Annuity Bill was brought up, the Bill read a second time, and ordered to be read a third time this day. MANCHItsTEtt OUTRAGIC.

In answer to a question from Sir ROBERT WILSON ' Lord CASTLEREAGH stated last night, in the House of Commons, that the Government are not possessed of any official information relative to the hostile in 'tendons of the Holy Alliance towards the Neapoli tans ; and Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH in consequence, postponed his Motion, relative to the Troppau Cir cular, until Thursday se'nnight. A -number of Petitions, praying for the insertion of the (longs's name in the Liturgy, were presented; after which, Mr. Jowl SMITH brought forward his Motion for an Address from the House to the Throne, for the purpose of having her MAJESTY'S name re stored to the Collects and Liturgy of the Church of England. Mr. &aim was extremely temperate and argu- 1 mentative, and pointed out with great feeling the unfortunate consequences which could not fail to result from non-compliance with the_wishes of the' People. He avoided entering on the Legal part of the question, which had been before so ably treated of by Mr. WyrnERELL.••-• The Motion was ably I seconded by Mr. TaNz(rsox. On the Ministerial side no attempt was made to answer the arguments of the mover and seconder of the motion. Member after Member bore testi mony to the powerful nature of the arguments they had adduced, but which, notwithstanding, had failed to produce conviction in their minds; and rested on asserting (the' not proving) the power of the Crown to regulate the Liturgy in the point under discussion. Even Mr. WILBERFORCE assumed the legality of the omission, but could not approve of the propriety of it ; he was, therefore, in favour of the re-insertion. As might be expected, from previous divisions, the motion was lost by a majority of 120. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon.' They are still without any confirmation of the re ported passage 4 the Po, by the Austrian Army. A private letter from Frankfort, of the 6th of February, says---" All the reports as to a declaration of war by the Court of Vienna against the Neapolitans, and the march of the Austrian Army, are positively contra dicted. It appearaolifficult to reconcile hostile mea-, sures with the conferences of the Sovereigns at La, bath, the result of which can scarcely as yet be known. There is a report here of a stkond diplo matic Note, which has been presented in the name of the Emperor ALEXANDER to the Ministers of the ,Great Powers, by Count CAiO D'ISTRIAS. The mode rate principles which it developes are much praised." Another private letter from Laybach, received by the way of Vienna, and dated the 26th of January, says, " The Congress which has taken place in our city, has not, as Yet, assumed the forms observed at the Congresses of Vienna and Aix-la-Chapelle.— There has been no regular sitting among the Ministers of the different Powers, nor has there been, properly speaking, any general meeting. As soon as the Duke de Gallo arrived here, the Marquis de Ruffo resigned to him the portfesille of Foreign Affairs. The for mer has already had several conferences with M. de Metternich, M. Capo d'lstrias, and M. de Caraman. It is said that the bases on which the Powers are agreed to treat at Laybach, are—first, the territorial integrity of ail the Italian States, such as it was sti pulated by the treaties of 1814 ; second, the admis sion, for the Italian States, of Representative Consti- , tutions. The opinion, that it would be desirable, under existing circumstances, to establish in Italy the Representative regime, is said to have been par ticularly urged by M. Capo d'lstrias. It is farther , stated, as to Naples in particUlar, that the new pro positions of the Powers bear the stamp of moderation, and that the modifications demanded in. the Consti tution of the Kingdom of Naples, to put it in har- Imony with the Monarchical principle, are not very numerous." In a discussion whick incidentally 'arose in the French Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, on a Pe tition from a Colonel Aux, recommending to the Chamber to pay respect to-the Constitutional Char ter, M. CHAUVILLIN made the following allusion to the question now pending between the Allied Powers and the Revolutionized Governments of Spain and Naples:—" I do not believe that the Spanish Nation has derogated from its heroic character in uniting with its King to obtain a Constitution, from which it anticipates the happiest effects—(Voicesfrom the right the Chamber, It has been imposed by rebels!' )—nor is it possible to speak of the heroic efforts of the Spa nish Nation without thinking of those which the Neapolitan Nation may be called on to make in a si milar cause. Surely it can be no pleasure to France to see these Constitutional Goveramenti menaced by the coalition of Absolute Governments ; it can be rio glory to us to see commanded to the bar of the Ab solute Monarchs of Europe the Constitutional Mo narch of Naples, who has made himself the Chief of the Revolution which has been effected in his eountt y. The diplomatic acts which are connected with these events may lead to very setious questions, to refection., the most painful and embarrassing for the. t p i i French Nation. The nation see there the glory • • .. of its name tarnished and) area interests emu s promised—Wrong agitation . Yes, Gentlemen, the report is current that the French Governmer.t has signed Me Act for Me occupation of Spain, and that the only purpose of its having agents at Laybach is to league itself with the powers of despotism. What a state of degradation to be thus reduced to—how humiliating to co-operate in acts which tend to the degradation of the human species." M. eIIAtIVEI4II concluded with a challenge to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to give the Chamber the necessary explanation on the share which France has taken in the proceedings adopted with respect to Spain and Naples. _ . The Minister of Foreign Affairs said, that though it was part of the English system to give such ex planations, it was no part of the French, and he, therefore, contented himself with saying generally . , "that the King of France found himself considered as be ought to be by the other Powers; that he exer cises in the political transactions of Europe the power which belongs to his crown ; and that he supports • nobly his own dignity and that of France:' The hint of M. Chativelin, respecting an Act for the occupation of Si;ain, is new, and it is singular that the Minister for Foreign Affairs did not meet it with any direct denial. French Five per Cents.

Yesterday, the Anniversary Meeting of the Port of London Society, which has for its object the pro motion of Religion among Seamen, was held in the great Hall of the Freemason s Tavern, Great Queen street, Lincoln's Inn-fields; the Right Hon. J. C. Vit.- 11.1enS, in the Chair. Mr. LAC:EY read the Report of the Proceedings of the Society. It stated, that the cost of the purchase and fitting-up of his Nlaje,ty's ship Speedy, as a Chapel for the Port of London, had been little short of £9,000, but the accommodation is complete for 800 hearers, The Society had incurred a debt of a few hundred pounds, and their first object was to pay off this debt, and then procure annual Subscrip tions, to keep up the important works which they had begun with so much benevolence and zeal. The Earl of ROCKSAVAGE recommended the So ciety to the Meeting, which had for its object to bring our brave Seamen to a knowledge of that Religion, to know which was eternal life. He proposed the first Resolution. Dr. THORPE seconded the Resolution, and in doing so, eulogised our Seamen for their bravery, and of their necessity to our Commercial greatness. We owed them not only an asylum in Greenwich Hospi-' tal in old age, but also. an everlasting asylum under • the cross of Ciiaisv.—The motion was then carried. Mr. WILBSR7ORCR lamented, that seamen in gene ral had not even the education of ordinary men. It had been said by some, that to make seamen religi ous would damp their courage. On the contrary, that mast make our seamen still more courageous, which, in the hour of death's last agony, could ren.l der even the tender heart of u omen brave. The day might soon arrive, said the Hon. Gentleman, when every one of our seamen would become in come sort 3lissionaries, to carry the important truths of the Gospel to the benighted inhabitants of the most dis tant lands. After speeches from Admiral STRANGER, Mr. STEPHEH, the Rev. GERARD Nom, the Rev. Mr. THORN, the. Rev. W.
