But if the present Bill were to pass, no man could pro:ect himself against t ae burdens of the Poor-rates but by de troving all the cottages now on his farm or his esta.e. He knew that the p esent state of the Poor Laws deg raded the Poor ; and that was his grestest objection to them. Mr. COURTENAY thought it would be better to allow the Bill to go into the Committee, and to de bate the principle on a future stage. He contended that t'le Poor had a legal and moral right to exten sive HARBORD supported the Bill. Lord MILTON thought they might as well debate the principle of the Bill now as at any other stage.— To the Bill generally he was friendly, especially to that part of it which related to the law of settlement. Gem lemen complained of an increased population ; but he much doubted that fact; and if Gentlemen would look to the Census taken twenty years ago, t hey nuld find the increase in the country generally so trifling as scarcely to be perceptible. Increased popuknion, and the consequent increase of the Poor Rate, were said to be the cause of the present distress. lie denied that assertion ; it was not the Poor Rate of £8,000,000 even which weighed down the coun try, but the immense increase of Public Debt and Taxation. He was ready, nevertheless, to acknow ledge that the Poor Laws were a great evil, but that evil would be greatly lessened by the proposed regu lation of his Learned Friend on the subject of the law of settlement. With respect to the marriages of the Poor, he did not believe they bad taken place to such an extent as materially to affect the popula tion ; whilst to adopt this clause might excite the jealousy of the poorer classes, who might think the rich were legislating for themselves, regardless of the comforts of the lower classes. THE EVENINti The Marquis of LONDONDERRY did not rise to oppose the Bill, or even to discuss its merits on the present occasion. He had already expressed the obligation he felt to the Learned Gentleman for bringing forward this measure, as every discussion operated io ripen the minds of the country towards that change which must, at no very distant period, take place fir tre pur l ose of ameliorating the state of the poor. The discussion of this subject must 1 1 alww s be accompanied with difficulty. hut still every considmatian of it did t.,e country inhnite service. Mete :tad already been a Report from two COM minces on this, sub;ecr, and he believed they had done much gond; they had awakened the attention of the country to the subject ; and, since the appearance of that Report, the existing laws had been administered with much greater effect. This circumstance should encourage the Hon. and Lea. ned Gentleman to per severe. He would propose to the Hon. Gentleman to read the Bill a second time now ; to have the Bill committed, and afterwards pri ted, and to fix the debate upon it at as early a period as possible. Mr. CALCRAkT supported the course recom mended by the Noble Lord. Mr. SCARLETT had no objection to adopt the cow e suggested. He would no.. V P pose to read the Bill a second time. and commit it for Monday. He wished to take this opportunity of stating a cir cumstance which had this day come to firs know ledge; a young man, on a recent occasion, obtained a marriage licence, which cost him three guineas and a halt. was married to the object of his choice, and on the following day they applied to the pas ish for relief!—(Hear, hear.) The Bill was then read a second time, and corn-' mined tor Monday. LONDON. FRIDAY, MAY 25, 18 4 21. THE FUNDS. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONS O'CLOCK Bank S:ock 2'29 226 1 / 2 -3 per Ct.

FRANKFORT, MAY is. Numerous detachments of Greeks continually ar rive in Moldavia and Wallachia. and augment the force under the command of Prince Ypsilanti. This Chief is abundantly provided with money, and pays his soldiers largely. The privates receive monthly twenty-four francs each, and the Officers 500. At Bucharest he was joined by upwards of 1000 young Greeks, relatives of wealthy families, principally from Vienna, Buda, and Odessa. It is known that there is among the Insurgents a certain number of Euro pean Officers of different States; and even recently, many of the military belonging to the Austrian Re giments stationeJ on the borders of Transylvania, deserted from their corps, and proceeded to Walk chia, some of whom have obtained the rank of Offi cers in the Greek service. PROM THE BUCKOWINA, APRIL CS. Notwithstanding the disapprobation of the Greek Insurrection, openly expressed by the Russian Go vernment, detachments of twenty or thirty Greek recruits daily arrive at Jassy, where they are armed, and proceed to join Ypsilanti. The cause of the Insurgents would perhaps not be hopeless, if the leaders were in good understanding with each other. TNSYLVANIA, APR 19.

Her MAJESTY had a party to dinner yesterday, at Cambridge House. Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth-day of her Royal Highness the Princess ALEXANDRINA VICTORIA, only child of his late Royal Highness EItWARD Duke of KENT, the same was observed at the residence of her Royal Mother, the Duchess of KENT. in the King's Palace, Kensington. In the morning the Royal Duchess and the infant Princess received visits of congratulation from their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLA• He:ice, the Duke and Duchess of (homesTert, the Princesses AvoUSTA, SOPHIA, and SOPIIIA MATILDA, his Royal Highness Prince LiOPOLD, and several other personages of the highest distinction. The Royal and Illustrious Visitors severally presented the Roy al Infant with various elegant little articles suited to her years, with which she was highly delighted. She is a very beautiful and interesting child, and has enteted into her third year, with every promise of health, strength, and spirits. Notwithstanding the coldness of the weather for some time past, green peas have fallen in the several vegetable markets of the Metropolis, from twelve shillings to/ye shillings. per quart. The preventive system of proscription and arrest, which has sprung out of the machinations of some unhooded Priests and disappointed Placemen to over throw the constitutional order' f things in Spain, ap pears to be becoming universal throughout that un happy kingdom ; but, fortunately, it has not been attended by any new act of sanguinary atrocity. Among the persons put under confinement at Alge• siras are, Lieutenant-General D. J. O'DONNELL and the Ex-Inquisitor D. FRANCISCO CID. Of twenty-five arrested at St. Jago, twenty are Ecclesiastic , . At Cadiz, the Bishop CIENFUGES is at the head of the suspected whom it has been thought necessary to put in durance; and with him are six Canons, a Com mandant of Engineers, the Commandant of Customs, Treasurer MELOA REGO, and Auditor SANTA CRUZ. —The Minister-General of the Capuchins, better off than some of his brethren; has had a regular trial for anti-constitutional practices, and been condemned to banishment. ARIAS, the Judge of the First Instance,l who prolicninced wharwas deemed the too mild sec.' tence on VANUESA, has been dismissed from office, and replaced by M. CASTEJOS. The Government has published the details of the action between the Empecinado and MERINO. The latter had 300 men, and 100 horses. The result was, that Meets° had 30 men killed, and 70 prisoners, and that he escaped with 20 ; the rest being.dispersed. On the side of the Empecinado, 'it is said, there was only one man wounded, though he says the. enemy made a strong resistance. FATAL JeaLous-e.- -, Last night, the wife of an ar mourer in Tooley-street, finding her husband at tea l with the maid -servant, took a pistol, in a fit of jea-1 lousy, and shot him through the head. He died in stantly. She wasimmediately taken into custody, to wait a Coroner's Inquest. The unhappy woman is. only nineteen. • • CATO:STREET COKSPIRACE The statement which .we copied a few days ago, that Sways, executed at Glasgow for foryery, said he was in the hay-loft among the Cato•street C'onspira tor's on the night of their apprehension, but had escaped by a back-window, turns out to be erroneoci. The circumstances from wifich the report had pro bably originated are thus explained in a letter which appeared in the Glasgow Papers, from one of the in dividuals who attended this unfortunate criminal in his dying moments: " The real truth is simply as follows, which the whole of those Worthy persons (eight in number beside myself) who were with Mr. Swan all night can witness :—I was sitting next him, close by the grating, and exhorting him, as he had now so little !time to live, to look above all secondary causes—to forget mttn altogether, and confine his attention to Gov—to the things that belonged to his eternal peace, when I observed him become agitated, and he interrupted me, and with a svedlirg heart, and the big tears blinding his eyes, he cried—' Oh ! that man, that very man, who would shew no mercy to me—that very man's life I saved within these two years; but there is mercy *he-is ,neither the Ins nor the Outs have anything to say —I an ' swered—' You confound me, Mr. Swan ; what man do you mean?'—' I mean,' said he, Lord Sidmouth: I was, I assure you, the means of saving his life within these two years?— ' Really you astonish me, Mr. Swan : what connection had you, or could you have, with Lord Sidmouth?' He paused and said, The King--Che King, perhaps, supposed, that wherever I was sent I might stir up disaffection.' 1 wished him to answer more directly, and fully explain the nature of his connectitu with Lord Sidmouth, and tell us hew he saved his life, but se veral of those present requested the conversation mightbe dropt, as having a tendency to excites vindictive feelings, to which I ia stantly consented, and Mr. Swan also most meekly acquiesced." The writer of this letter adds : " To my certain knowlettge, be solemnly asserted his inno cence to his last breath ; and that after being by me and many others, oh 'many different occasions, encouraged to confess the truth, by the most powerful motives drawn from the Word of GOD, and also after being assailed by those ' terrors of the Lows, denounced in the sacred volume against all those who love and make a lie.'" -;cL Exch. Bills 3s pre.— , 0pg.75 % The Bill for the disfranchisement of GI impound, and the transference of it, right to elect two Mem bers to Parliament to the County o•f York, was finally passed last night in the House of Lords, by a majority of 39 to 12. It goes hack to the Commons for their assent to the alteratimis which have been made in it; :and this, it is confidently expected, will not be withheld. Even those who may regret most the substitution of Yorkshire for Leeds, must confess that it i, important to have the principle that the elective franchise may be transferred from those by whim, it bas been justly forfeited, established in such latitude as it is done by this Bill. There have been instances of extending a franchise to adjoining Hun dreds and Towns, but this is the first time we have found it so clearly laid down that the light of Repre sentation is one which the Legislature may take back and confer anywhere. The important subject of the Poor Laws was last night brought under discussion in the House of Corn mons, by the second reading of a Bill which Mr. SCARLETT has introduce 1, for remedying the ac knowledged evils with which the existing s}•stem abounds. The Bill has met with rather geiter.d concurrence; but is opposed by Sir ItonEtur WtL soN, and a few other Members, who conceive that it will be an invasion upon the rights of the Pior.— We think Sir ROBERT and his friends are in the right, and that the Poor ale much indebted to them for standing forward to protect them from the crude le gislation of a Gentleman, whose knowledge of law may be great, but whose knowledge of the great principles on which all society is founded appears to be extremely limited. The grand principle of Mr. SCARLETT'S Bill is this, that every man who is ca, able of earning his bread, must earn it ; and to enforce this principle, he proposes that such restrictions shall be put upon the power of granting parochial retie, as shall exclude all persons of that de,crivtion from the benefit of it, except in such extraordinary emergencies as famine and epidemy. Now before this principle of Mr. SCARLETT's can be admitted to have absolute opera tion, the Legislature would require to enact and pro- Vide at the same time, that every man who is able and willing to work, shall always find sufficient employ ment. at sufficient wages, to enable him to earn his ' daily bread. But until something of this sort is done, we hold that any attempt to shut out thelabouring poor from their right to parochial relief, when they cannot procure work by which to earn a livelihood, will be an act not only of injustice, but of sore oppression.— It will be an Act for the banishment at least froni their native soil, if not the starvation of all who, in the language of monopoly and wealth, form the su perabundant part of the population; though, in truth, there can be no superabundant population as long as there is a superabundance of everything to feed, and clothe, and make happy every man, woman, and child in the rand. We have always regarded the right to parochial relief as a sort of re-active right, by which the la bouring classes are protected from being worked down to the dust, by the higher orders, who have capital and laws at their command, and by these have got the power of dictating the terms on which their humbler fellow-men shall toil for the means of living; and sorry shall we be to see this great piaci- • JG~S :~ a i. -~-.w SPORTING IN7 ELLIGENCE.

PEDESTRIANISM. A young man has undertaken, for 100 guineas, to walk 100 miles is 22 hours. The pound chosen is Great Peckham. ANGLING. A few days since as a Gentleman was fishing in the river Teign, he hooked a salmon, which could not have weighed less than twenty-five pounds. After playing the fish for nearly an hour without being able to land him, another salmon about same size seized the other fly, and broke the line. They swam with great velocity down the stream, and the line got entangled in a stake. The Gentleman immediately plunged into the water, which nearly reached his chin, and, after a short ebace, came up with, and captured both the fish, though not without some resistance on the part of the latter. What is more extraor dinary, the second fish that was hooked had followed the other closely from the time it had been in jeopardy. ZOOLOGY. A few days ago, a woodcock's nest, containing four eggs, was found in a wood upon one of the Duke of Dirvousmar's estates in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The old bird was taken, and the eggs were brought home by the game-keeper, and deposited in a cupboard by the fire-side. The next morning three young woodcocks were found to have broken their shells, but are since dead. As the woodcock is considered a bird of passage, this must be a circumstance worthy the notice of Naturalists. Our travellers who have been on the Continent, remark, that there are no custorn-houses at which the examination of baggage is so unnecrswily strict as at the frontier of France near Dun. kirk, and at Ramsgate in this country. We are requested by Mr. SANts, Bookseller to his Royal Highness the Duke of Youx, to announce A Second Letter from the King to his People. The 24th Edition of the First Letter is mw ready for de livery, and may be had of all the Booksellers in the United Kingdom. We understand that the Novel just published, under.the title of Precaution; or, The Matrimonial I Balance, which promises to become so great a fa vourite among all classes of readers, is the production of a distinguished American. Whoever may be the writer, we have to congratulate the Public on the accessiotl of a new Novelist, possessing a , peculiar felicity of talent for this species of composition. t Coale Ascnsmos, Mslut-erne, MAT 25.—The Wheat trade was heavy this morning, and only that of fine qnalides could be disposed of, which obtained Monday's prices; but there was no demand for inferior samples.
