.• • .., , • 7.! ~, V • apposition having been expected, be would therefore with draw the Resolution till another opportunity should arise, contenting himself with moving the other - Resolutions of Supply which he bad proposed. The Resolution was then withdrawn by leave of the Hone. The following Resolutions were then moved and agreed to, vls.;—That the usual annual duty on foreign spirits, ender the 334 and 47th of his late Majesty, be continued If the 25th of March, 1825—That 15 millions of Exche uer bills be issued towards the Supply to be raised f or Great Britain, for the year 1824.—That two millions new in the Exchequer, part of the grant of last year, he applied to the service of 1824—That the sum of 4.800,0001. remain tug in the Exchequer, paid in by the trustees for paying the naval and military pensions, be applied to the service of the year 1824.—That 60,0001. paid into the Treasury by the East India Company for the defraying the military expellees of last year in the East ladies, be applied to the service of 1824. That such sums of money as would he paid into the Exchequer before the sth of April, 1825; and such balances as would be paid in by the East India Company before that time, be applied to the service of 1824. Mr. BRIGHT observed (in reference, we believe, to the Resolution respecting the Duty on Foreign Spirits) that as some alteration was made in the Distillery Laws, it was necessary to alter or modify the duties on rum. On the bringing up of the Report of the W a y s end Means, he, hoped that Resolution would be reconsidered. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that there might be some ground for the Hon. Gentleman's ob servations, if the duty on rum constituted any great portion of those duties comprehended in the Resolution. He did not mean to say that there was no duty at all on rum, but not such as to make a discussion of that Resolution neces sary at any time. Mr. BRIGHT said that he was never in the habit of un necessarily impeding the business before the house. If it was at present inconvenient to the house, he would not give any opposition, but would let it pass by to another opportunity. Mr. HUME said that this also was an additional duty ; and if they were annual duties, the present was the fittest time to put a stop to them. The house then resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received on Monday next, when the house is again to resolve itself into the said Committee. RICIPILOCITT 011 DUTIES ACT. On the motion of Mr. HUSKISSON, the House resolved itself into a Committee to consider this Act, with a view to amend it. Mr. HUSKISSON stated that provision vas made by an Act of last year, to enable his Majesty, with the Con sent of his Council, to reciprocate any advantages that other countries trading to his Majesty's territories were disposed to give this country. Also his Majesty had power to fix a duty on all goods imported in foreign s h ip s, as if such goods were imported in national vessels. It was, however, necessary, since the United States of Amer.ca continued to levy certain duties on British vessels trading between the West India Colonies and the United States, to put countervailing dui ies on the ships of the United States trading to this country, equal to ninety-four per cents. per ton, and on ships of America trading to our color.ies, sixty cents. per ton. The object was to counter vail the foreign duties on British shipping. Other countries corresponded with the spirit shown by this country, and they did actually lessen the duties on our shipping entering their ports. The duty on the shipping of those countries was accordingly lessened here. America refused to do this. An attempt, however, wrs at present making at al negotiation on this point, and he hoped it would be suc cessful. Nhe Right Honourable Gentleman, after a few more observations, which were not distinctly heard in the gi.llery, moved Resolutions to the effect—that it was the opinion of the Committee, that his Majesty be autho rized, with the consent of his Privy Council, to lay cer tain countervailing duties on the ships of foreign nations entering the ports of his Majesty's dominions. That his Majesty, &c.. may authorise the entry of foreign vessels into the ports of his Majesty's dominions, on the payment of a certain duty, corresponding with the duty payable by British ships on entering the ports of such countries to which such ships belonged. That his Majesty, &c., be authorised to lay upon all American ships entering the ports of his Majesty's dominions, such duties as were levied on British vessels entering the ports of the United States of America. Mr. ROBERTSON could not suffer this subject to be dismissed without entering his protest against the princi ples upon which it was founded. He now regretted the loss of an Honourable Member who was no more—he meant the Honourable Member for Sandwich (Mr. Marryatt)-- Will/ would have brought all his talent and commercial ex perience to bear down upon this question. It was with an humble petition of perpetuating the sound principles upou which that Hononrable Member acted, that he now rose to state his concurrence in those principles upon the present occasion. In accordance with these, then, he should most decidedly reprobate the course which this house had been induced by the Right Honourable Secretary to pur sue last year, as calculated to ruin altogether the shipping interests of this country. That interest had been in a declining state for some years, and instead of the extinc tion which was now likely to be put upon it, wanted more the fostering hand of protection to uphold and support it. It was stated, and not denied, that there was now 125,000 tons of shipping, and 8,000 seamen, less employed than bad been at a former period. This was a chilling pros pect for the country; but what was the course taken to re medy it ? Why, the Right Honourable Gentleman broaght in a Bill, by which be, in effect, threw open the carrying trade to other countries. France, Prussia, and the North ern Powers, jumped at this, naturally enough, because they could build shtps at half our price, and did not pay their seamen half so much wages. But America refused to reciprocate, and it was understood that the present mea ger* was a sort of retaliation upon her for that conduct. He should only say slam more, tuat the carrying trade was the life and soul of the navy, and he hoped the house would at length be roused to a proper sense of the import ance of that important branch of our trade. Mr. HUSKISSON said he was rather taken by surprise at bearing the Honourable Member revive the debate upon the whole of the question, which bad been set to rest last year. It was unnecessary to say that the present motion did not embrace the merits of the abstract question, this proceeding being inteddea solely to protect British ships against the Americans. The Resolutions were thee agreed to; after which the house resented, and the Report was ordered to be received on Monday. COUNTY CODISTS IN SCOTLAND. Lord A. HAMILTON said that an Act of Parliament badt last Session , abolishi n g certain inferior tribunals in S cotland, and transferring their duties to the Sheriffs' Courts. By the Act it was required that certain returns, indicative of the progress the alterations had made, should be returned into the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department. He wished to know what bad been done under the said Act. Mr. Secretary PEEL replicd, thet not being informed of the particulars to which the oble Lord referred, he could only state generally that all arrangements had been made at the Home Office for carrying the Act into effect. He should state more in detalivhen he had an opportunity of making further inquiries. ARISE LANDLORDS. Lord ALTHORP moved, puniest to notice, for leave to bring is a . Bill to alter and amend so mach of an Act poised is 1816 as empowered landlords in Ireland to seise growing crops for rent, u had been the practice in this country from the time of George the Second. He did not THE STATESMAN ground himself upon the principle that landlords had not a right to seise all that they found upon the land, ioclud• ing the growing crop, in satisfaction of the rent, bat from the principle that, from motives of lenity and hums• city to the poor peasantry, such a summary mode of relief ought to he disused. Rvery Gentleman must know that the growing crops of Ireland were in their kind very diffe rent from those of this country, as they generally formed not the material by which the tenant meant to pay his rent, bat his only . means of subsistence. The hardship, there fore, of seizing theitcrops was greater than in this coun try. His object, therefore, was to restrain landlords from seising the growing crops only, for he would leave un• touched their right of seizing cattle and every thing else in satisfaction of the rent. One great evil of Irelend was also the minute subdivision of land, and as he had hopes that landlords, in their own defence, would not be fond of encouraging this subdivision in future, the Bill would be beneficial in that point of view. The Noble Lord con cluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend so much of the 56tIs George II 1., cap. 58, as extended the power of seising crops to Ireland, which had been first given by the Act of George 11. Sir J. N h,WPORT, in seconding the motion, said that nothing would tend more to the restoration of good order in Ireland than taking away from the landlords the power of abusing their rights.—(Hear.) Mr. OOULBURN did not rise to give any opposition to this Bill, for it was one of relief, and any measure tending to give relief to a coffering people merited the serious con• sidera►ioo of the house. But at the same time he would not pledge himself to give it any support, for (for reasons which he would state) be wished to let it stand upon its own merits, having neither his opposition nor support.— The Noble Lord who brought in the 11111 would do well to consider whether mach of the reasoning by which he recommended it would not also apply to this country ; and that, though at the first blush he veined to center a general benefit, he was not doing a greater evil to the parties themselves, by enahlihg tam to withdraw that which was perhaps the only means they had of satisfying the rent. Mr. GRATTAN explained that it was not the object of the Bill to take from the landlords the power of di.tressiag, but to alter the time of making the seisure. It was to avoid keepers being put upon the growing crops, which was always attended with great expense. He could not sit down without stating, that, in the pare of the country with which he was acquainted, this practice of seizing the growing crops prevailed but little. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. SOUTH AMERICA:4 STATES. Sir J. M ACINTO9I4 said he had a motion to make of en extensive and conditional nature. His object in arising at present was to give notice that, as early in March as circum stances would permit, he would bring before the horse a sub• ject of the greatest importance—namely, the relation in which this kingdom stood to those countries of South America which were formerly subject to the Crown of Span. but which for a considerable time had been independent. He was unable to state the particular nature of the motion, or to fix the particu lar day. for he wished to give Ministers an opoortunity of bringing to the house information on this subject, and he should be glad to be relieved from his motion by their making satisfactory communications to the house.—(Hear, hear.) Sir J. NEWPORT postponed his motion respecting the Po. pulation Returns in Ireland. Adjourned at half pest 5 o'clock. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PROM THE PARIS PAPERS OF WEDNESDAY. (PROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATE. CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. 10.—The events which have passed near Smyrna, have awakened attention in the Capi tal. The European Consols sent a remonstrance, on the 10th of December, to the Senate of Ipsara, to require it to desist from the attack. The Primates replied on December IS, and their Wier contains the following passage :—" We even feel ourselves obliged to add, that agreeably to the laws of war, we will never neglect any opportunity of pursuing the Turks on every part of the coasts under their dominion. If irritated against us, they then perse cute the Christian subjects of the Porte, and the Europeans, this will arise from their own barbarity, which tramples under foot all the laws of humanity and of civilised Europe, which might, if it pleased, protect by force the life and Ito- pour of every Christian, and we are persuaded that it will do so withont asking any sacrifices from us, who are the avowed enemies of the Turks." The Primates then de mand an annual tribute of the town of Smyrna, if its in habitants desire that the town and the Gulf of Smyrna shall not be molested. The peace with P..rsia is not yet ratified. The Sultan has ordered the Pacha of Bagdad to continue the war.— The Greeks have established themselves in the islands of Mitylene and Clio, and display every where great energy." Mr. Canning is severely taken to task by the Quotidieane, for what he said in his sne , ch at the opening of the Ses sion with respect to Spain and South America. The Prince of Orange arrived at the Hague on the sth from Petersburgh, which he left on January 14. He re mained 36 hours at Warsaw, four days at Berlin and Potsdam, two days at Weimar, and only two hours at Cassel.

GALWLY FISHERY.—AII the hays In Connemara swarm with the finest herrings, but the weather has been too severe for our fishermen to reap much profit by the circumstance ; up warns of one hundred boats have arrived here fully laden, but the delay was so great, owing to contrary winds, that in some instances the fish were lost for want of salt, and those that arrived, except a small quantity, and consequently were too tale for battening. We do not know what to think of this said Connemara I It would seem as if it were totally neglected, that none bad an interest is its soil or people; for, surely, any aid given to the latter, to enable them to reap the ex traordinary natural advantages it possesses, would assured ly increase the value of the former, and citable the tenan try to pay their rents without difficulty. Not a pound of salt to be had nearer than this town, to cure the thousands of millions of herrings that could now be taken there; and as the wind is adverse, and the roads for thirty to fitty miles back impassable to the sea coast for wheel carriages, none can be sent. It cannot be possible that the landlords of that country are so destitute of means as not to be able to erect some kind of stores, and lay up a few hundred tons of salt there (which they might get duty free), to supply their tenantry with, and thereby save and turn to value the im mense portion of human sustenance which is now lost for want of salt. Twenty years ago, from fifty to one hundred sail of square-rigged vessels were in the habit to take out salt to that quarter, purchase the fish as fast as they were taken, and proceed with their cargoes, of the very best quality, to different markets, the value of which amounted to more than all our other exports put together. Some thing should be done to diffuse the benefits of so great a blessing among our unemployed and starving thousands. We bear of a company being about to beformed to work the mines of Mexico and Peru!—the mine we' speak of is more valuable, nearer home, and easier worked ; but the co untry gentlemen are careless, and the mines of fish on our coasts are left unheeded.—(Galway Advertiser.)

Up to this hour we do not hear of any express having ar rived from Paris. This is probably owing to the rough weather of yesterday eveninr. Some bodies having been stolen from the church yard of e remote parish in Northumberland, the owner of the estate, to prevent such depredations in future, has directed the graves to be made rather shorter than the coffin, and to be excavated at the bottom, so as to admit the head under the solid ground. it is then impossible to raise it by the feet, and the ground must hecut away above the head, a work of more time than could be always be commanded for the operation. lu addition, a mixture of percussion powder and gunpowder, placed on a wire in the inside of the coffin, to etplode on its being opened. had been resorted to. This will retain its explosive power for a month, in which time the corpse will he generally unfit for dissection. A commercial connection with the new and independent States of South America, offers so many advantages to this country, that we are much pleased to find, that Sir James Mackintosh gave notice last night in the House of Com- mons of his intention, early in March, of introducing a motion on the subsisting relations between this Country and those States. There is so much to be gained by a speedy and friendly alliance with South America, and so little by a perseverance in our system of cold neutrality, that a tardy acknowledgment of her independence would seem to be the result of infatuation in oar Councils. What would be thought of the man, who after having spent his fortune, and reduced himself to the brink of ruin, by itl judged and unsuccessful speculations, in which he bad been made the dupe of knavery, should in such circumstances, refuse to accept the friendship of a man of honour, who possesses at once the power and the will, to indemnify him for losses, and raise him to a condition of rank and wealth, surpassing the brightest day of his prosperity ? But sup posing this infatuated man to urge as a reason for conduct inexplicable—that he had not declined such an overture of generous friendship, for lie had held himself unfettered by any prior engagement from forming such connection, when he should think the proper time bad arrived — should we not think that such a man, from the bewitching influence of old habits, Lad still a hankering after the society of his former worthless companions, who had led the way in his road to ruin ? Such, and no other, appears to us to have been the conduct of the English Government, respecting their old attachments to the members of the unholy Alliance, who have lung club ed together to prop up what is now a falling cause ; and which fond and lingering attachments they cannot easily overcome, so as to wake way for more bonourable and ad vantageous connections. This subject embraces such a variety of interests, so important to England, to America and to mankind, that we say again, we are happy to find it is to be brought forward by such a man as Sir James Mackintosh, who is so eminently qualified to du it ample justice. The Irish, who are indeed remarkable for making their own will. " a law unto themselves," have among many other singularities of character, long practised a peculiar and effectual mode of silencing party and political op ponents. The Irish papers have recently teemed with ac counts of an intended duel, between Mr. O'Grady and Mr Spring Rice, M. P. Had this originated in a private quarrel, it would have been unworthy of any other no • Lice, than an expression of pity, that Mr. Rice should be weak enough to put his life against another, so unworthy of the hazard. But it seems Mr. Rice, had in bis place in Parliament, brought some serious charges against Chief Baron O'Grady, for judicial misconduct, which produced a kind of defence, by no means sstisfaetory to the pub lic. Mr. O'Grady, not relishing, it would appear, the liberty Mr. Rice had taken with his fa►her, the Chief Baron, and not having leisure for logical dissension or lengthened contraversy. adopted the Irish pithy and more compendious mode of settling the dispute by pistols, and accordingly sent Mr. Rice a challenge. if this old Irish practice is to go on unchecked, it will be unnecessary in future, when candidates fur a Seat in Parliament offer themselves to the Electors, to boast of honeity and inde pendence; it will suit their purpose better, to produce un questionable testimonials of their being a good shot, and to make the greatest number of duels fought the only test of supreme excellence. In sober reason, we hope some Member will notice this affair in the House. DUCHY OF LANCASTER COI/RT.-10 the case of the King v. William Clemeut,appellant, the argument was yesterday postponed.

It is reported that the slaves in the British colonies are to be tranquillised by means of two mitres. The state of Ireland, no doubt, suggested this ides.
