G t l i t LONDON. - Member for Aberdeen, had not objected to a tystem of fair pro motion, but to a system of excessive promotion that was founded en a principle of favouritism. It would not be decult to shew, by a reference to particular cases, that the selection of indivi duals bad been influenced by the motives and principles ascribed by his Flon. Friend. Sir J. YORKE concurred in the view which Mr. Ellice bad taken of this subject. Mr. FI.LICE observed, that he was aware that his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume) would have experienced much g reater sa tisfaction in seeing this extreme reduction applied to the army, rather than the naval force. Mr. Ti LIME said, that the amount 'of the vote In question was X 964,000. and it would have been less by £150,000. had it not been for these late promotions.. The number of them was 428, ex c:: Jiog by 20 the entire number of Li:attnants now afloat. — W.,. not this an instance of the perversion and abuse of Mi nisterial pat ronagt• ? lie was willing to move fora return of the • persons who had been thus promoted, ...nd of their services, if there should be no objection on the other siie. Sir G. COCKBUItN stated that the promotions had been picked out for long service. The Lords of the Admiralty took the First Lieutenants, and consequently promoted the. Lest ll:amen. :Mr. BF:NNET explained. The item was then voted. The following items were also voted : For Superannuation Pensions and Allowances for Naval (Lacers F.r Widows of Officers on the Compassionate List To make god peficisncies in the Fund for the Main. tcnat:cc of the Children of Commissioned and War. 21,200 7,000 105,000 rant o!ficers - For the Superannuation of Clerks and Persons em ployed in the Naval Department - 126,772 For building Ships in Nlercliam.'

FIVE rElt CENT. STOCKHOLDERS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER begged leave, before the Chairman reported progress, to vote the sum of X 2,760,000. to pay off and discharge such holders of Navy 'Five per Cent. Stock as had signified their dissent upon the question of receiving Four per Cent. Stuck. The Right Hon. Gentle man accordingly propo,,ed a grant of that sum. Mr. HUM E wished to know from what fund the amount was to be taken ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it would be taken out of the general revenue of the country, and provided for when th.• .piestion came again before the House. The Reso lution was then agr.cd tn. Mr. BROO DEN having reported progress, the House re sunied, the Pt port was received, and the Committee ordered to sit ac.ain on Wednesday..

Pt/multi,: I.OAN or £5,000,000, CONTRACTED ST MR. N. N. ROTIIiCIIILD LX LONDGN.The Half-yearly Dividend of this Loan falling due on Monday, the Ist of April next, will be paid as i:sti4l on that and every succeeding day, between the hours of ;on and Two, at the Counting-house of the aforesaid, in New el:at, St. Switlin's-lane. We are sure the Public will rejoice to hear that some alterations are meditated by Ministers in regard to Public-house licensing. The system of favouritism and oppression which at present exists has been so ut . zen and so clearly exposed, not only in the recent conviction of three Magistrates, but in the evidence adduced before a Committee of the House of Com mons, that the most sceptical cannot doubt of the tact, or deny the necessity of reform. Last night, in the House of Commons, when the Report on the Malt Duty Repeal Bill was brought up, Mr. Hus- KISSON said it was worthy of consideration whether some steps ought not to be taken to amend the present licensing system, as there was scarcely such a thing to be found as a free public-house.— He thought that a fair competition ought to be al lowed, but instead of this, there ss as a combination among the public brewers ; he thought that every effort ought to be made by the Magistrates to en courage free public-houses, even at the expense of re fusing licenses to those in the hands of brewers. Now agreeing, as we do, with .Mr. Husxissorr, as to the evil of the licensing system and the necessity of its reform, yet that reform must not be left en-, tic:ly to Magistrates with their present authority wiiich, in this case, is absolute and without appeal ; especially as several of the brewers are in the com mission of the peace, and a good understanding is known to exist between the public brewers and the Magistrates in general. On another point we were equally pleased with a declaration of Mr. Husxissorr. It has been stated that the repeal of the Malt Duty will not benefit the Public as the price of beer will not be reduced to the consumer. Mr. Il usxissom deprecated the idea that a relief of £BOO,OOO, intended for the Agricultural Interest and the Public, should form a bonus to the brewer§; and declared, that if they did not reduce the price of beer, then he should certainly recommend that an additional duty equivalent to the reduction c i 1:800,000 a year should be levied upon the brewers; this declaration, however, though good as a threat, not ensure the relief to the Public ; and al , w e du not wish to have either the assize of hat of bread renewed, yet we wish that vacua could be adopted of ensuring both to the consumer, good in quality and at that low price at which, in the present depressed state of agricultural produce, they might be afforded. • The great evil is, that every new tax, or every ad vance in grain or any other article of produce, falls with augmented weight on the Public, while eve'' , reduction is pocketed by factors, middle-men, and monopolists. Some reform in this respect might be made, were the existing laws against forestalling and monopolizing put in force, instead of suffering them to remain a dead letter upon the Statute nook. . The Paris Papers of Saturdly bring no intelligence of importance. The public tranquillity has expe• rienced no further inter! uption. In the Chamber of Deputies the first and second articles on the law of the Finances were passed in Fi iday's sitting ; when, it may be remarked, that the eagerness imputed to one side of the Chamber for closing every debate after the least possible quantity of deliberation, was not less conspicuous than in many recent instances. The rendering discussion impracticable, may, perhaps, be a necessary step towards proving representation useless. French Funds, Friday, Five per Cents. 891 r. Letters from Vienna, of the Bth instant, mention the arrival there of M. TATISCHEFF, a member, it is said, of the Russian Cabinet, on his way to Constan tinople; but whether his mission is pacific or hostile, is doubtful : one of the Paris Journals deduces from it that war must cettainlv follow. The accounts from Constantinople, to the 11th of ,February, state, that an energetic remonstrance has been addressed to the Turkish Government by the Austrian Ambassador, calling on the Divan to accede to the just demands of Russia, by withdrawing their troops from Walla. chia and Moldavia, and by reinstating the Hospodars in the government of those provinces. Lord STRANG FORD had adopted a similar course; and theie re presentations are said to have made the impression on the counsels of the Divan to which they were en tided. The regular communication between Odessa "and Constantinople is said to be restored. We have received the Nuremberg Correspondent to the 10th inst. and the Austrian Observer to the 6th, from which v. e make the following extracts : VIENNA, MARCH 4. The following are the latest accounts received from Constantinople, by the last Mail of 11th February : On the Ist of the month several Tartars arrive..l in the capital from Chourschid Pacha, with accounts which leave no doubt of the fate of Ali Pacha. Immediately after the arrival of the news from .1 0 . annina, a resolution was taken to send Mehmed Pa cha, late Governor of the Dardanelles, as Seraskier, .1,1,1 first in command after Chourschid Pacha, to the Morea, with a corps of troops, said to be very well disciplined ; and on the sth of February, the Captain Pacha received official information of the actual sail ing of the expedition from the Dardanelles. It con sists of 60 sail, under the command of a Pepeghi Halil Bey, and has on board 12,000 land troops, commanded by Mehmed Pacha. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, MARCH 5.

Sierra Leone Gazettes to the middle of January bring the following intelligence : Governor Grant had opened an intercourse with the King of the Toulahas, by which the British will pro bably derive lucrative trade and African discovery. This kingd om is only a few days' journey from the Niger. The following deaths have taken place on the Gold Coast :—Elmina, the Dutch Governor ; Accra, Governor-General of the Danish Settlements ; and Governor Gordon, of the English Settlement.— A Deputation had arrived at Sierra Leone, from Al mamy Abdal Kader, King of the Toulahas, at the head of which was a Prince, and a Mahometan Priest and his wife : this singular man came all the way from Egypt to the Mandingoo nation, with important information of the geography of Oriental Africa ; he had passed through Timbucto, and was of an opi nion that the Niger and the Nile were the same river. —The French and Portuguese vessels carry on an active Slave Trade. Extract of a letter from Havanna!), dated Jan. 28 : —" At present the communication between this port and Matanzas is suspended, in consequence of the number of Patriot cruizers on the coast. Last even ing two brigs of that description were not more than two gun-shots off the Moro. This has caused the delay of the sailing.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Last night Mr. Kratkr appeared for the first time in the character of Sir Pert inax Macsyccrphant, in Macicti a's satirical Comedy of The Man of the World. The high reputation of Mr. KEAN, and the novelty of the Play, which has been so long and so often on the shelf, for want of a proper representative for the principal character, and the curiosity to see KEAN quit Melpomene for Tbalid, created much ex pectation in the Public, and attracted a crowded audience. This Comedy, written by MACKLIN with much acerbity against the Scotch, possesses little merit, but that of exhibiting the means by which an ultra man of the world (for, to the honour of human nature, there are not many who would resort to such means as Sir Pertinaz) makes his way to wealth and honours, and for the severity with which the author de claims against pretended patriots and politicians in ge neral. When it was first produced, Macassar assumed the hero, because, we presume, he could not find any other actor possessing that " discrimination" which, he told our old friend Cuantes NlATtrews, was so indispensable to an actor. On his death, The. Man of the World was laid as:de, until GEORGE FR EDE RICK COOKE stamped the part of Sir Pertigaz will) a popularity as imperishable as it is disadvantageous to his successors. KEAN, " ho dares what man dare," has ventured upon it; and if he is not all that could be wished, he is, perhaps, the only person that could in the present day render it even tolerable. But KEAN did much more; he not only gave sudden ef fect to some passages from which nothing had been expected, but there were sometimes nearly whale scenes in which he manifested perceptions of striking originality, and a flexible and easy enunciation of the text, unusual in a person accustomed almost exclu sively to declamation. Even where the tone of the per former bordered somewhat upon the declamatory, it rendered the character more piquant, and more true. His first interview with his son, when he feproaches him with his unfilial wish ; and his chuckling with delight over the prospect of a title and three boroughs —for only sending down: " six broomsticks," was given with satirical force and discrimination. The history of his life, and the means by IA bids he had risen in the world, through the " instinct o interest," —his searches for a wife in all the kirks and conven tides, until he succeeded, were admirably told ; but his " booing" was somewhat faulty : it had more the grace of a polished courtier than the sub-ervience of one who " could never stand straight in the presence of a great man !" The quarrel with his son ibr not drinking to excess with Lord Lumbercourt—the sur• prize and rage on receiving his son's refusal to marry Lady Rodolpha—and the joy with which he gloated over the supposed exposure of Constantia in the letter, were all in the finest style of acting; but the concluding' scene, in which exposure, morti fied ambition, and disappointment, all combined to render him desperate, baffles description, and can only be conceived by,those who have witnessed the last scene of Sir Giles Overreach, as exhibited by this powerful actor. KEAN is not very perfect in the Scottish dialect, and it was easy to see how great a restraint it imposed on him in many instances. Miss BOOTH, who played Lady liedulpha Lumbercourt with admirable spirit, had, on the contrary, studied the dialect too closely, and was sometimes scarcely intelligible to those who have not 11::.1 the advantage of being born" beyond the "Tweet." COOPER'S Egerton was a manly, correct; and gentlemanly piece of acting. The Comedy was received throughout with.. the loudest applause, and given out for repetition this evening, amid the cheers of the most crowded and elegant audience we have seen this season. . A few nights ago some daring ruffians boarded a West* brig lying in the River Thames, oil Pickle Herring Stairs, afd (unper ceived by the crew, who were asleep) they succeeded in rubbing the vessel of fifteen chests of tea, and two bales of goods. Saturday night the neighbourhood of Whiney. Suffolk, was in alarm from a destructive fire at Whitley Ilall, about l o'clock, the seat of STEPIIIO4 HOWARD LOFT, Esq. The flames were first discovered in the eastern wing by a Luton postboy, who gave the alarm; before the necessary ussitAance could be procured the house was ou fire In every part, and in less than two hour., it was a heap of ruins. A female domestic broke Ler Li; in c4capii:;; from the Arum. CORONER'S INQUES4 • • Yesterday an Inittdsidna was taken before Mr. flutistsw, en rover for the district, at the General Abercmnshy, friar-street, litackfriars-road, on the body of John Morgan, a labouring re. 'inter, who met his death Is consequence of the bursting of a u immense tank, containing 75i tons of water, at seeend,sta tion of the South London Gas Company, in Wellington -street. On the Juniteheing sworn, they proceeded to vie* the precaiss,, which bore lamentable proofs of the injury d•ne. Several walla and sheds were washed away, and many of the low houses ad. jseent were flooded with water. On the return of the Jury, Thomas Men was calk•d:—He stated himself to he a snri:h, residing in rear-tree-line, near Dudley, and in the employ of Messrs. Glazebruok, iron-masters there, who are the corn. - actors to the Gas Company. He was sent up to London in the begi n _ sting of June, and was employed to pnt up the taeks: two of them were put up L..fore Christmas, and that which burst sines A month since a crack appeared in one of the plates of the tattle, which enlarged, and broke out above, where a new patch ":s po:f. Witness and the deceased were employed to re air it, aen caused another plate to be made to cover the fissure. On this being done, they found that the. first catch must be taken of., have holes drilled for. the screws; a piece of pasteboard and then the new plates were placed aver the crack, and suopornal by a piece of wood which rested on the adjoining wall and made everything water-tight. While they were putting in the se ew-, the iron hoop which was the main support of the tank, bent, and dropped off. Witness then said to the deceased. " tank is sure to burst." anti they both ran down some distarie from it ; but as it held together, elviv agreed to entleavaur to mend the hoop. and returned for that purpose, when the de ce tied proceeded to climb up the side nf the tank to throw down some dust to stop the cracks, as the water was ruaning out fast. Witness again called ont—" Come away. it's sure to burst," and stooped down to pick up the &len hoop, when the tack gave way, and the water carried vrattass away about 18 yard... On recovering himself Is: found the deceased in a timber-yard, about thirty yards distant, where he had been washed over a abed by the impetuosity of the water ; hr grained when witness picked him up, and the blood fl nved freely front his earA ; he continued groaning and bleeding ti l he was token to a public-lesuse,where he died in a few minutes. The deceased came from .0 alley. The tank was forty-three feet egitt in diameter, ei ;hteen feet deep ;it was nearly full of water. Witness could n o t tell what caused the fissure; he did not think there was any Haw in the iron plates; he never oaserved the foundation give way. T at remaining tanks were fourteen inches only less than the win which had burst.—Several of the Jory commented on the dan gerous situat:on of the prents:.: , , and said they ought not to be placed so near the habitations of the sunrunnding neialtlvatrine e a Mr. Perceval (a Juror) said but few of the plate- exceeded half an inch in thicknes in the centre, and coutendea .hay w e r e not sufficiently strong ;he spoke (tons his own knowledae, f he knew the plates fat vats were generally an inch and a half in thickness.—Another Juror said, that if it was onl y nn,de of tin. and the hoops wete sufficiently strop;;, it would not breek. Mr. Perceval resumed, and said, tie haop was nut stranger than that which be had round a vat that contained only two tons of water.—Ronert Monre, Es a. a Director of the Gas Company, was next called.—The mid; contained 752 tons of water. 'lle plates were three-quarters of an inch in thickness; stene were stouter. Tie works were furnished by contract; the It unmas ten engaging to make them water tight. The coatra.nots had put up eleven tanks in London, which were all standing. Tat whole loss (the tank cost between 700 t. and Sea) would fali on the contractors. It was one toot longer than the others, bat b e did not know whether the iron was made proportionally stt , mger. Of course the building wateleft to the contractors, and it w_:s their interest to make the tanks of sufficient streng.h.—Mr. Ed ward Evans, surgeon, deposed that the deceanal me t his d, in consequence of a rupture on the brain caused by the atctshn.. This was the evidence adduced ; and, after several tenervaneas from the Jury, a verdict of ile::idental Dect4 was returned. Lady &mama was near meetirg with a serious accidtr.t on Sunday. Her Ladyship took an airs: in her earria;e, and went to Battetsea-House, Surrey, to pay a visit to Lady S. Cana (r,Ord &Vila IT'S tastes.) Af,er alighting froat at r earrasse, and goina up the steps to the hall, her Ladyship slipped, and rut har nose mid lip, and was so much frightened that she fainted away. Great apprehensions were . entertaiued for her safety, her Ladysaia bang very near her aecouchemzet. We are happy to add thet Ler Ladyship was as well as could be expected yesterday, ansi h attat received any other injury than wh t nes been s ated. in ea -e s was immediately sent off to his Lordship at tee Pavilion, , and he arrived in town yesterday morning at half-past six. Yesterday ailertioon, a young woman engaged in cleaning the windows of No. Bedford-square, slipped her hold, and w. s precipitated into the area, aed killed on the spar. This is ar ther melancholy instanee of the impropriety of permitting fen:, a. servants to perform such hazardous duty, instead .if employiea wee, whom habit has rendered familial to the task. BOW-STaECT.—Saturday evening a man, who said his mete was John alackarel, and that he was a f. llowship pater and waterman, was bfougta to this Office in a coach, and ptearrel a complaint against a soldier of the Guards on duty at the Britisa Museum, for stabbing him in the thigh wish his bayonet. The statement of the wounded man, who appeared at a very weak state, was, that passing the British Museum, ha atapp.d at the wall, and in a momeat afterwards htt secrived a blow en I the back. Ile turned round, and saw it was a soldier, who Ltd struck hint with the butt-end of his musket. He sail " Yam I need not have struck use—why didn't you speak if I W. 15 dole: wrong?" The soldier made no reply, but stuck his b..yon:t into the thick part of his thigh. He bled profusely, sad was asecn :3 a surgeon, who dressed the wound. The susaeon who dressed the wound said it was a save:: ore, and there had been a very profuse bleeding, but it was no. in the least degree dangeronc. Mr. al INSIICLL ordered the wounded man to be car veyel home in a Coach, and sent a note to the Commanding Officer to r quest that the soldier might be given up to the Civil Power. T re quest was readily acceded to, and yesterday the mar was brought up by Godfrey, a constable. Ills name is John Slater, a private in the 2d battalion of the 3d regiment of Yost Gaaras. Captain Drummond, the Adjutant, attended on behalf of the regiment. John Sutton said he was in company with alackarel, and saw the sentinel strike him with the butt-cad of his musket, and then turn it round, and make a thrust at him with the bayonet. lie did not know :Mackerel was wounded, until be saw the hood coining out of the top of his shoe, and dripping from his trow era, and he then turned to the soldier, and said " You have used this man in a manner you have no right to do." To this the soldier replied, " Take yourself off, or I shall serve you the same"— When ',Mackerel bed been taken to a Surgeon's, witness and an other inquired for the Serjeant of the Guard, who took the de fendant oil his post, and readily gave hi; name, observing t he had been a soltiitr long enough to know Letter than to aa such a thing.—Sutton ceded, that no abusive lan g uage was used to the soldier by any of the party. It was not a push sides - . , ; s, but a tot eight forward thrust with the bayonet. Two men named Dawson and Slade, who were of the Fairy, corroborated the foregoing statements. Sutton produced a certificate from a Surgeon who attenael alackarel after he got home, which stated that he was unable to leave his room. John Stowe, a man who was passing by accident, corraaci rated in pert the statement of the others. The soLJer, in his defence, said he had orders to preen: nal sances at the Museum; and seeing alackarel there, (.I:••tiet him to go, and pushed him with the butt-end of his musket. Ile refused to go, and be (defendant) then turned his piece round and pushed hint with the fiat part of his bayonet, withuut asp hoen. don of wounding hint. They all abused blot, lie was aura it was a planned thing among the party, to got a soldier into trouble. All the witness, a declared solemnly, that not a siogle mina ut abuse was uttered by any of them. Mr. Goude, the Surgeon of :he Regiment, said he bad been ta see the wouuded man, and he found the skin penetrated very slightly ; it was not a scratch, but a strait punctura; he thought it was possible that it night have been gistn by the aide acne' which the soldier bad described. The sentinel who was et the other side of the gates at the time, said he heard some one sl—n his comrade once. Mr. altasisett. cad, no man ought to commit a nuisance in the place described, and it was the duty cf the 4ola:, r placed nu guard there to prevent it ; but at the same tune, be must sae. that it was by nu means au o ff ence which called tot, or mould justify the use of the bayonet, nor was the saltier right in t i-k -ins the isilßetion of a wound by turtling his musket as lie had de scribed. lie called on the defendant to give bail, himseli ea.o, and two , eeeties in a ets each, fur his appearance at the 5t ,,, e , "• TW4) talicers of the Regiment became hum sweats, and he s as liberated.
