Nat) ICSI Loti4 THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 110110011, SUNDAY, APRIL 21. -4.- By the Paris Papers of Tuesday last, we learn that on the preceding day there was much clamour in the Chamber of Deputies in consequence of the introduction of a new Election Law by Count Si meon, Minister of the Interior, to supersede that which had been previously submitted to the Chant ber during the Administration of the Count Decazes. The new piojet authorized only such modifications in the mode of electing Deputies as were peremp tory and indispensable. Immediately after the prijet was read, the Liberals rose and vociferated against the irregularity of receiving the communi. cation, as the former projJct was still before the Chamber. The President observed, that any Mcm. ber had a right to withdraw a proposition, and that certainly they could not deny that right to the Royal Prerogative. He then read the 17th Article of the regulations, which were framed for the guidance of the Chamber under such circumstance.- -The a iberals of the left still continued their clamour, and several of them simultaneously ad dressed the President in the most vehement lan guage. The hitter. with a view of getting rid of the Babel vociferation 3. put the question on the Order of the Day. Another noisy scene ensued, when the President rose and declared the sitting suspended for an hour. A• the expiration of the hour he resumed the Chair, and the question tiir the printing and distribution of the communication was thcn put and carried a:most unanimously, after which the Chamber adjourned. Further changes have taken place in the Spanish Miaistry, but they are still favourable to the revnintino. Arguelles, one of the most distinguished speakers in the Cortes of Cadiz, has been appointed Minister of Grace and Justice, in the room of Jose Garcia de Torres, who filled that office since the 9th of March last. Juan Javat is appointed Minister of the Marine in the room of Luis de Zalazar ; and Garcia de Herreros is charged with the Ministry of the Home Depart ment, in the place of Jacob Forgo, who had held the oMee, ad interim for a few days. This intelli gence reached Paris by an extraordinary Cuurier, who left Madrid on the 10th of April, anti was directed to the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, on the supposition that the late Ambassador, the Duke de Fcrnan Nunez, was un his route from Paris for Madrid. A new and superb Ihrone has been erected in the House of Lords, which has a striking and mag nificent appearance. 'l'he canopy, sur►uounted with the crown, is supported by two large Corinthian if Mocha. ()lithium o. !par..; per Cent. Italia Bond; 295. dis. India Stuck Exchequer Bilk 5;.

The ornaments, con sisting of the rose, the thistle, and the shumroek, as well as the emblems of the Orders of Knighthood, have a beautiful effect. The old ivory chair has been removed to make room for a new one, suitable to the splendour of the Throne. It is covered with the finest crimson velvet, richly embroidered with gold lace. The House is newly fitted up in the most splendid manner. YORKSHIRE CLOTIIIE3S. We lately stated the great falling off in the Yorkshire Clothieis Trade ; since our abstract statement the re..4u lar annual returnaltas been made, of which we subjoin a copy—That great importance is attached to this return, both by the Guvertiment and by the country in general, may he well supposed; and We are informed that one of the tirst questions proposed by the Lord Lieutenant, who has this week visited Pontefract, on account of the sitting of.the Quarter Sessions, was—" flow stands the return of the woollen manufacture. ?" A very natural ' and extremely proper inquiry ; atal every well-wisher to his country O ill regret that the first report Made tO his gOVerIIIIICIII, by the ilqw Lord Lieutenant, on this 'tally tuiptir.ant subject, must he so gloomy.

But It is unnecessary tu insist upon these details ; our streets exl ; it.et sir arg aid decisive indications of the decay of trade, in the number of workpeople that are seen daily loitering about in a state of idleness, nut because they will not work, but because labour is nut to be had.

Mr. Pearson, the barrister, yesterday obtained a rule to shew cause, why a new trial should not be granted in the case of Sir Charles -$‘ olsely. Mr. Hunt: was not so fortunate in a similar motion, on the subject of his lute trial at York. The Address of Thanks to his Majesty, for having shortened the present Court and gcneral mourning, lately voted by the manufacturers and tradors of London and Westminster, was presented by the Lord Chamberlain, and received be his Majesty in the most gracious manner, and with the most deci sive marks of sipprobation; his Majesty being gra ciously pleased to declare his rea,liness, at all times, to listen to the wishes, and to do eery thing in his power, to assist and benefit the trade and manufac• tures of his Kingdom.—The Fublic are much indebted to Mr Shears, of Henrietta -street, and Messrs. Fox and WOyley, of King -street, Covent-garden. who were very active and assiduous in promoting and causing the atxwe Address to be presented to his Majesty ; indeed the idea originated entirely with those gentlemen, and by their exertions was princi pally carried into effect.
