Lord ALTHt )11 l' said. a clause which he proposed adding to the coal duties !a 0...1 bail , raspecting local duties, he found could not be proparett so so •-• as he Expected; he therefore postponed the committee cm the bill rway se'onight. Luld GRANVILLE SO3IIERSET said he hoped the noble lord would retur;. paid on stocks of coals and slates on hand. Lord A LTIIMIP said it would be impossible to return the duty on the souks on hard. which he had reason to think were not tonal. The duty bad ceased to be collected since the Ist March. ItEFORII IN SCOTLAND. Mr. HOME DRCM3IOND inquired when :he bill to amend the rrl•resentation in Scotland would be introduced. lie thought k would require considerable dircuseion. Toe LORD ADVOCATE said it was his intention to introduce it to-morrow, and certainly the most ample opportunity would be af forded for discubsior. Mr. ROBINSON said he was convinced the fact was, that the de cision had been unfavourable to the United States, and that the Go vernment had been weak enough to allow it to be referred back to the United States. He should not press his motion. The motion was then withdrawn. kF.FORM. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR presented a petition in favour of reform from Sunderland. It was signed in two days by 5000 persons. Mr. CURTEIS presented a similar petition from two parishes in Sussex. The LORD ADVOCATE presented petitions in favour of Reform from the Borough of Kihnarnock ; from the Merchants' Company of Edinburgh ; from Perth ; from the Magistrates and Town Council of Montrose ; from Cupar (2); from the Political Union of Renfrew ; from the Guild and Corporation of Weavers of Glasgow, who are 1,300 In number, and employ 100,000 persons ; from the Guild of Perth; from the Chamber of Commerce of Edinburgh ; from Dundee ; and a number of other places in Scotland. Mr. JOILNSTONE presented similar petitions from Dumfermlinc and Linlithgow. Mr. R. GRANT presented two petitions from Parishes in Norfolk, and from Cupar.

Mt 'muse resolved itself into a t;otrnittee of supply. Mr. BA NKES moved that 14,4511. be granted to his Majesty, to defray Jae expenses of the British Museum. Mr. JEPHSON proposed that the public should be admitted to the 111u-eum every day of the week except Sunday. ilr. BANKES said. as many as a t:tousand persons visited the Museum on a day, and it was evident that it could not be open every day'. Saturday was a day set apart for cleanliness. Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY said he had never been able to get into the Museum. Saturday was the only day he had to spare from the business of that house, and on that day the Museum was closed against him. He would prefer paying a sixpence or a earning for admittance, and then he was confident the public would be accom. meslated. Mr. IVARBUKTON said more persons had time for reading on a Saturday in London, than any other day, am: he tbeught, at least, the reading-room should be opened on a Saanday. Mr. HUME said the Museum should he made as useful as possible. Ile thought it might be swept and opened daily, as the House of Com. mons was. Many persons came to London who had but a single day on which they could see the Museum, and it was a great disappoint. went to them when they were denied adn:ission. Sir JOHN IVIIOI . TESLEY asked whether the hon. gentleman (31r. Danko) we-till pledge himself that the Zlureunt should be open every day, otherwise he would oppose the grant. Mr. BAKES said h was most anxious that the public should re. c: ive every possible accommodation : bur he could not pledge himself to the extent, which must he decided by the Board. The Reatkinn was a,4reed to. Mr. W YNN itioval that the sum of 3761. 7s. Gd. be granted to his Majesty, to defray the expense of recruiting, and other miscellaneous t xpenses of the army. Colonel DAVIES thought that when the Government came into office under a pledge of reduction. and added 250,0001. to the array esti mates, toey should show some cause for such an increase. The secre tary at war must excuse hint for saying that he believed him profoundly ignorant of military affair, (a laugh). Indeed, with the exception of two, he did not believe tL:to was a man in the present administration, who, if he received the wend to march, would know whether his right ; foot or his left should be forealost (a great laugh). Ile pledged himself by all that was dear to tnim—its a gentleman, and a man of cournon ' sense—to prove that a great reduction could be made without dimi itishing the efficiency of the army. (Hear, hear.) He despaired, however, of making any impression on the house, and should not take up their time. Mr. WYNN said lie had no doubt the gallant officer would fill the office he had held much better than he could ; and as it would be soon tacant he hoped the Government would not overlook his merits. H. had availed himself of the best information in his power to qualify him self for the office. (Ht ar.) He was coMident a reduction of expense might be made, particularly in the rccruitirg service, which should be mtended to. ( Hear.) Mr. HUME said it was evident that while the Government kept up such an immense army they could never make the reduction the country demanded. Jt was or little use to cavil at lions of expense while the Government kept up more than 20.04)0 men beyond what was necessary. The late Secretary of War always wished to have the army ready for another Waterloo. (Hear, hear.) That was not the interest of England. He never wished our army to leave England. He was sorry for our interference with Belgium, front which we must retire soh disgrace. Mr. IRVING was of opinion that the country ought to be prepared to go to war : he viewed with particular satisfaction the preparations which were being made in the country, to put it in a proper state of detente. If mere was one member in that house who more than ano ther did not appreciate the proper interests of the country, he should say unhesitatingly, that that member was the honourable member for Middlesex. I►lr. WARBURTON said, if the hon. Member for Middlesex ad. a system of non-interference with other States, he (Mr. War. b.trtou) should support him cordially. Mr. 111'ME, in reply, denied that he had ever underrated the re. sources of the country. Mr. IRVING explained. Mr. WYNN and Lord EUSTON said a few words in support of the motion, which was then put and carried. On the question being put, that 124,5821. be voted for defraying the charge of his Majesty's Staff', as well as the Medical Staff on foreign stations. Col. DAVIES considered the staff establishment much larger than the neeesbities (lithe couiiiry demanded. After a few wprds from Mr. WYNN, Sir H. HARDINGE, and Col. I)AvlEs, 111 r. 1-11:3IE contended, that Canada ought not to cost the country one shilling. lie was certain that the people of Canada would be much better satisfied if left entirely to themselves, and allowed to defray the expense of their own Government. The question was then put and carried. A further sum of 103 3971. was next put, for defraying the annual charge of the various military establishments in Great Britain and Ireland. Atter a few words from Mr. WYNN, Sir H. HARDINGE, and Mr. 11 YAM, the sum was agreed to. Mr. WYNN proposed that 12,4201. be granted for medicines and surgical materials for the land forces.—Agreed to. Also, 33,8351. 153. 10d. for defraying the charge of garrisons at home and abroad. Mr. HUME adverted to the mere sinecures kept up by such votes, both in Ei,gland and in the Colonies. Tha vote might be easily re. duced by the sum of :20,0iN11. Sir It H AKIMICtIE defended the vote as a means of giving due rewards for old maimed officer, Colnnel SIETHORP agreed that no reduction ought to take place. Mr. W ARBUR 1 ON asked the gallant officer (Sir H. Hardinge) what had been the great services of the governor of Dartmouth Castle, to entitle hint to a pension of 1741. a-year Sir H. 11 AR DINGI explained, that the grant of the governorship of the Castle was granted to the family of the individual in the reign of Charles 11. for services then performed. He hoped, however,that when a vacancy occcurred, if the place were not abolished, it would be tilled up by some meritorious officer who had served his country long and faithfully. Mr. R. GORDON contended, that the House ought at all events to refuse the grant, even if the King appointed the governor. Mr. HUME had no objection to his Majesty's making all the pri vates in the army generale, if he did not call upon the house to vote It oncy in proportion to pay them. Mr. WYN N objected to the principle of making officers of the army look to the House of Commons as the source of reward. After a few words from 11r. ROBINSON, 111 r. BEA UMONT said that these discussions would be quite need less as anon as the Reform Bill was passed. No such votes would then he even proposed. Alr. GUEST said, that he should divide the Committee on the vote The Committee divided accordidgly— For the Resolution . Against it Majority . —77 The Grant of 5,0001. for the Military College at Sandhurst, was agreed to, after a short discussion between Mr. Wynn, Mr. Hume, and Sir H. liardinge, on the amount of the salary of I,OOOL a year to the Governor.

Lord A ',THORP, in answer to a question from Mr. H. Gordon, who wisl.td to have this final arrangement of the sugar duties for three months, said, that he had already declared he could not consent to a di. minution of these duties during the present year ; but that with respect to the ether points, he had them under his consideration, and hoped he should be able to make some arrangement with respect to them, for the purpose of relieving the West India interests. The Report was brought up. AMELICAN 11011NDALT. Mr. ROBINSON moved for the production of the papers relative to the dispute between this country and the United States of America, with respect to the Canadian boundary, and for the production of the decision of the King of Holland on this subject, which had been re• ferred to his arbitration. Lord PALMERSTON opposed the motion, on the pound that the transaction was yet Incomplete. If the house would take his word for it, they would refuse the motion. Tit F. EV ENINI - 1 1 STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, MARCH 15. Our Readers will find in our subsequent columns, arranged according to our usual plan, a selection of interesting para graphs from the French Journals, received by the Estafette of this morning ; and a Letter from our Paris Con- RESPONDENT, giving briefly his views of the state of opinion in Paris, at the date of his letter. We recom mend our readers to peruse the acute comments in Le Temps, on the enemies to the great measure of Reform, now properly engrossing the attention and energies of Britons. The extract from La Tribune, a proscribed journal, illus trates, with those we have before given, the sentiments of the ultra-revolutionary, and, it is to be suspected, most nu merous party in France. The incident, first mentioned in yesterday's STAR, that the sons of Louis Bo x APARTE are engaged in the Italian Revolution, is again alluded to by our Correspondent, as well as in our extracts; and, we presume, may be considered as a fact. On the whole, if the Readers of the STAR do us the justice of comparison—and com parison can alone do us justice—they will iu to-day's paper observe a farther proof of the priority of our Continental Intelligence. The HOLY CAUSE of Poland is that which invites and commands universal solicitude; yet the Duchy of Warsaw is hermetically sealed by traitors to the European Cause, and we get no intelligence, except what passes through the political cullinders of Berlin and Vienna. The Press of Dresden, so near the seat of war, seems to be defunct ; and that of Belgium to be equally paralysed. Some French editors do their duty ; but at such a moment, the Paris journals are filled with nauseating speculations, about which of the various impotencies is next to nullify the powers and glory of France. Europe demands, and the French people also demand, in language too often expressed, a NEW CHAMBER, identified in soul and principle with France and liberty; and in that event, we should soon see the seals broken, which shut out the Poles from the support of al l civilization. We regard the cause of Poland as that of all the nations of Europe, and of every family in the civilized world. If Prussia is bribed by her fears about Koningsberg and Posen, she will, before this generation passes away, have greater fears for Berlin and Potsdam. If Austria is bribed by her fears about Cracow and Lublin, she will soon have greater fears for Pres burg and Vienna. In a word, the Tartars and Siberians must be driven beyond the Niemen, and never be allowed to pass it; or Europe will oscillate for ages between civilization and barbarity. Poland must not only be preserved, but so for tiled and strengthened, as to be the invulnerable security of Europe, against the inroads of hordes of countless barba rians, conducted by an Asiatic despotism. We conceive that, in repulsing the Russians—in the des peration with which they sought the cover of dwellings, instead of the woods and marshes—at such a season, was not only a great victory, but all the victory which the infe rior Lumbers of the Poles could be expected to achieve. With them it was a defensive war, and a successful defence was to them a great victory. Europe feared that 200,000 men, including the imperial guards, would, at a blow, have taken Praga and Warsaw by assault. Yet after five or six days hard fighting—attended by incalculable losses— the Russians were not only kept at a distance, but obliged to separate, and take the sorry chance of another system of operations. In a word, the Poles may now demand their Constitution ; or they may hold out till 100,000 Frenchmen have crossed Saxony and Silesia, and given the barbarians another such lesson as they received at Austerlitz and Freidland. Yet even while we were last night giving circu lation to this gratifying intelligence, we blush to state that a contemporary was re-echoing its raven notes, and proclaiming from its divan of mischief, the capture of Warsaw, on terms which too plainly expressed a sympathy with the captors. Did true Greek ever associate the word " victory" with the death of LED• N IDA S and his Spartans ? For our parts, we will put our vapor in mourning, if we ever have to record the occupation of Warsaw by the Russians; except under a convention, which assures to the Poles due respect to the Constitution of 1815. We are not less diverted by the state of ITALY, than by that of POLAND, from our own proud domestic position. In that fine and populous country, the people seem to be sud denly awakened from a long night of superstitious and 'civil thraldrom. The x n i-co Lou lit D ILAO waves in Ix- P E 111 A L Rom E ; and some members of the Bonaparte Fa mily have taken under their fortunate auspices, Me task of regenerating that lost country. In the mean time, Austria trembles for her encroachments, and, as it would appear, can no longer resist her itch for intervention ; but France, true in this case to the national honour, seems to be dis posed in earnest to protect the Italians. We may, there.: fore, expect a rupture in that quarter ; of the result of which i there can be no doabt whatever. Fifty thousand French, with the rights of man inscribed on their standards, might march from one end of the Continent to t!:e other, and effect ' far more than NAPOLEON with five hundred thousand, as sociated with his coquetry towards despots, and his known hatred of liberal institutions. We observe newspaper publishers announcing the retire ment of Lord ALTHORP from the Exchequer. If true, we should regard it as a great public misfortune. If his Lordship has not been happy in his fiscal plans—he pos sesses that integrity which wins all hearts, and at this moment a grain of honesty is worth a pound of craft and cunning. In the House of Lords last night, the Duke of DEVON SHIRE took occasion to declare his hearty concurrence in the Reform Bill ; and to his immortal honour the Mar quis of CLEVELAND repeated the approbation which he had expressed on a former evening. He cheerfully sur rendered his personal interests in a system which he con sidered injurious to the country. Lord WYN FO D objected to the increased expense of the proposed Bankrupt Administration, which would cost 40,000 instead of 21,0001. He thought five judges would do as well as ten, and moved the re-commitment of Lord BROUGHA Nes Bill. His Lordship defended his bill, and mistakenly urged the despair of the commercial interest, if it miscarried ; not being aware that it is the principle of the bankrupt law which is objected to by them, far more than the forms. A division, however, took place, 19 for Lord AV YN FORD'S amendment, and 34 against it. Subsequently the re-commitment was postponed for a week, but in the mean time Lord Bata6llAm ought to be told that a clause giving a majority of creditors a power of arranging with an in solvent, is what commerce wants, far more than any change in the forms, which will effect little or no benefit to the public. The House of Commons sat till nearly two o'clock. Sir. R. A. Ferguson's election was declared void. IA debate arose about grants to a Dublin Education So ciety, for the purpose of enabling Protestants to educate i Catholics ! Mr. SA DLER postponed his anxiously expected motion on the Poor Laws till the 19th of April, a delay which we deprecate, as it merits precedency over every other subject, after the Reform Bill, General GASCOYNE, in presenting an address from 12,000 inhabitants of Liverpool in favour of the Reform Bill, expressed his personal objection to the 101. franchise, land Sir ROBERT WILSON said something further against ballot, and talked about spoliation and revolution ! What say his constituents ? Mr. HUNT, in reply to some reflection of Sir R. PEEL, said the difference between them was this, that Sir ROBERT'S father was a trader, and that he was the first gentleman of his family ; while, though lie (Mr. HUNT) was a trader, his father was a gentleman. Sir J. NEWPORT moved for enquiry into the first-fruits of Ireland, the improper valuation of which had led to grants of 160,0001. for building and repairing Churches ; and Mr. O'CoN N ELL subsequently said it was 630,0001. in twenty five years. The inquiry is to be made. In a Committee on the Custom-house Duties, Lord AL- T HOR P moved a duty of ss. 10d. on every hundred weight of Foreign Wool imported ; and Mr. P. THOMPSON moved the Colonial Timber Duties, both of which were agreed to. Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought up the Reform Bill, which was read a FIRST TIME, and was ordered to be read a second time next Monday. He stated that BEWDLEY could have but one member—that :Sculcoates would be united to Hull—that Chatham and Stroud would be united to Rochester—Portsea to Portsmouth—and that Devonport and Stonehouse would have two members—and Halifax and suburbs two members. In • Committee of Supply £14,451 Arm g anted Museum. £357,111 for the Recruiting Service. £724,522 for Staff and Hospital Officers. £103,897 for Military Establishments. £12,420 for Medicines, &c. And £33,835 for garrisons, which, with leiew nve their sinecures was objected to by Mr. H st E, and a divni. I, took place of 95 to 18. £5,627 was then voted for Sandhurst. CITY, ONE O'L Lock, Consols which left off yesterday at 751 t foe tie opened this morning at the same price, soon at; to 764 for money, at present they are 75i, f or II : account, the improvement is attributed to the f .,„ ) Ministry, who are supposed to be peaceably ineliw.J. In the foreign market little or nothing doing as v( t.

Consols at present may be quoted 751 for the account. The public are still very anxious for the fate of Poland ; and are waiting the arrival of the Dutch steamer, by they expect to obtain further information, in reprd to N. operations of the Russian army. A Singapore paper of a late date has arrived, b %% c- (I, not hear of its being important. The prices in the Foreign Market are much the san k yesterday, with little or nothing doing.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE Mr. Maundy appeared last night as Macbeth, and a( with great energy and bpirit. He has, by his splendid peffeeniance Werner, almost thrown into the shale all his other chata , ders, not La. cepting even those in which he has been most celebrated. His Moo'se" . has always been admired for his picturesque attitudes, and it was is this respect not less admirable than on former occasions. ,lli.• Huddart was the Las' Macbeth. She dressed and looked the characts unexceptionably, and her conception of some of the scenes was good ; the performance on the whole was rendered noshing short of painful by th actress's lisp, her only means of endeavouring to conquer nhicis a most graceless mouthing, equally disagreeable. The witches wet claverly performed by FARREN, DOWTON, and HARLEY. Phillip• was Hecate ; and the vocal parts wire, fir the most part, creditably u naged. The house was bosh folly and fashionably &den led. ROYAL ACADEMY OF The first of these concerts for ills sulson was given by the pupils the academy at the Hanover-square rooms. on Saturday, to a fashintablt and clowded audience. Amongst the patrons of the academy were, th, Archbishop of Vork, the Bishop of i.cndc,i, and a long list of ladies patronesses. The performances commenced with Handel's l'ess:24. which was executed in a very satisfactory manner. A li1oossifleo1(31.8.) by Lord Btiegherah, the sole carts by Misses Turner and Peens, Messrs. Brizzi and SeAunt, noisy, perhaps, but not deficient in har mony. was given with great effect. The fine and well cultivated base voice of Mr. P. Seguin told in a superlative degree. nl4 young gentlemen possesses musical abilities of no ordinary quelty. end when a few more seasons shall have fully developed his organ, and Firm to him sufficient experience, we foretel that he will be consitieted a basso primo of sterling talent, provided his advancement be not retaricd by injudicious praise. A solo. violoncello, by Mr. Incas, was r•-r warmly applauded. In short, the whole performances reflect greet etct on the education of the young ladies and gentlemen of the Acathnty A mos: unbecoasing behaviour, which even gallantry cannot pass urns. deed, was exhibited by some of the former on Saturday. and deserves severe reprobation ; we mean the practice of giggling in the fates of if distinguished and liberal patrons of the Institution ; it is insulting, s-t' Tendered more odious by the affected manner in which concealment is attempted.
