As to whether the vote should b• 1;0001. or 5,000 , 1., be thought it ems a matter of little memoir. A display of public opinion was more important thee a large aubsoription, and be should therefore vote for siege grant, se be' ltought that would be equally decisive of theoplaion of the corporation of London. and would not be so peat as to deter other corporations from following their sample. m r „ttomen now begged leave to withdraw his amend ment. wtieb was withdrawn accordingly: Mr. Jaw is said, the real question before the Coast was met whether they 'tumid give 10001, or 24001., but wise 'befit wpnld be politic to vote any sum at. 511. He was depinion that the resolutions of the Court woold evince **feelings for the Spaniards as well as any ram of ligliptey which they might be able to grant. In fact, if theeleent upon the principle of giving to Spain some efficient pecuniary assistance. they should rote as many carillon as they were now voting hundreds. The wore thy Member then went on to state, that the Spanish af fairs were not in the dourishiwr state which was repro. sorted, and that no money which the Court could vote weeld be of any material assistance. It would be as ' • w ok therefore, 'to keep their money, and to impress their leolire - s, by their resolutions. • • ‘ ' Mr:Caocesis oppoied the motion on the rronnd that. itwotild bee violation of the neutrality which this coun ., professed.

At twelve o'clock, the cbai amen (W. Wigram. Esq. M. P.) took the chair. The Minutes of the preceding Court baying been read, "The en Al swats stated that the present Court had been made special for the purpose of considering a Resolution of the Court of Directors for establishing a Supreme Court of Justice at Bombay, io the room of the Record. er's Court at that Presidency ; the Court to consist of a Chief Justice, with a salary of 6,0001. per annum, and two Puisne Judges, with a salary of 5,0001. each, the re solatiou also recommended that the pelsions upon the Judges of the three Supreme Courts on retiring from of fice should be made permanent, instead of being contin gent. The amount of the pensions recommended were— to the Chief Justice of Calcutta, after ten years service, 2,000/. per eununa ; to the Chief Justice.of Madras, 1,6001.; and to the Chief Justice of Bominly. 1,6001.—t0 the Puisne Judges of Calcutta, after tut years service, 1,5001. per annum ; and to the Puisne Judges of Madras and Bombay, 1,2001. per annum each. It also recom mended a pension to the Recorder of Prince of Wales's Island of 1,000/. per annum, upon his retiring from of fice, baring served s certain period of years. After a few explanatory remarks upon the proposed alteration in the system of paying the pensions, the Chairman moved that the Court should confirm the Resolution of the Court of Directors. Mr. Ramapo. JACKSON spoke at considerable length. lie coocurred iit the measure proposed, and he thought that 1 every Prisprtetor would accord in the wisdom of theses. sere; betook that opportunity, however. of remarking, that the 3 edreslif the • Court of Calentta did not adhere to the laws laid down by the Court of Directors, which prohibited theadetission of persons topreelise as attorneys Mere. 'g erm those who had been regularly admitted as attorneys is this soustry ;on the contrary. he wit w abet a greed weather of persons, natives of India, bad beau admitted at tfritays, who had not been brought up to the poressiesond bed sever set a foot on European ground. Sir. 0 animas spoke in favour of the motion; In the course of his address he mentioned a cireastetance of a ceriourea tore. A gentleman, who was a barrister in England, oh wined the necessary credentials of that Cease to get admit ted an attorney at Calcium, but upon his swivel there the attorneys refused to receive him, because be was a barrister, and the advocates refused to receive him @amongst them, be cause they considered him as an attorney; thus, between the two bodies, the gentleman was bufetted *1)60, without be ing able to do any good for himself in either. Mr. TRANT spoke by way of explanation. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, which was carried unanimously. ALLMFANCS TO rks 515001' OF CALCUTTA. The CHAIRMAN stated. that the Court was further made special, in order to consider of a Resolution of the Court of Directors. for allowing certain expenses of the Bishop of Calcutta. incurred upon his visitations to Madras and Bombay, as also og providing a resileoce for his Lord slip, the Res,lotiou proposed that the amount to be so expended should he in the discretion of the Court of Di rectors. The Resolution also proposed certain pensions to the Bishop of Calcutta, dint also to his Archdeacons, after having filled their respective offices for ten years.— The Chairman then moved that that Court should confirm the Resolution of the Court of Directors. Mr. R. Jscxsak, Mr. TIAN r, and Mr. Fosses. M.P. ley addressed the Court at con..iderable length in favour of the Resolution. Mr. TRANT, in the course of his speech, observed, that he felt well assured of the necessity of the proposed al lowance, for he well knew that the la*e Bishop, whom he said was a very plain living Man, without any family, did nut save a single rupee in the course of the year, owing . to the necessary expenses of supporting the dig nity, the hospitality, and the charity of his office. He (Mr. 'Fran') saw no reason why the Bishop of Calcutta should not have his Palace the same. as the Ilishopain England. particularly when it was recollected that the Bishop there was Use fourth personage in India, as in rank he.followml the Lord Chief Justice, the only per sons above whom were the Governor-tieneral, and the Commander of the Forces. !Inlets some encouragement was shown by that Court, no ergyman of rank, otcha meter, and of rood morals, would be found to forego his prospeca of preferment in this country, and sindertake a journey to—to,say the least of it.;--a very inhospitable cli mate. The Cuatiails stated that the Court of Directors Hai considered the necessity of a residence being provided fee l the Lord Bishop, as well when be was at home at Cal. cotta, as when he was at Madras and Bombay on bis vi. sitations. . , 'The CHAIRMAN tnen put the question, which was Car rind unanimously. ASIATIC SI:WHITT. Just as the Chairman was putting the question of ad- . joornment, Mr. Osnarraw rose, and begged to call the attention of the Court of Directors to the Asiatic Society. He Said he considered it to he a very useful institotton, and as It was well known that its funds were et present In a ljew state, be suggested the propriety of the Court con. tribuoing something towards it. He threw out this by way of hint to the Court of Directors. EAST INDIA. PILL. The CIIAISMAN was again putting the question of ad journment, when Formes, hf.P. • out snit stated that a Hill was r. before the House of Commons, which materially affected the trade to all parts of the world, and the trade If that Company in particular ;__ be wished, therefore , know whether the Court of Directors were aware of and whether.they bad taken any steps upon the iect. t}etramss replied, that be 'apposed .that the 1 , 001 to' by the lion.

SCOTCH LINEN MANUFACTURICS. Mr. BROODIN and others brought up from the Com mons the Bill for regulating Linea Manufactures in Scot land. On the motion of the Earl of lavanPOOL, it was order ed to be referred to a Select Committee. The Duke of Arum. presented a Petition from Perth, and the Earl of Roman Petitions from Forfar, and sr veal other places in Scotland, against the NlL—Read and laid on the table. PRISONS. On the motion of Lord SIDIIIOUTU. the Prison Laws Consolidation Hill was ordered to be printed, and to be' referred to a Cd.nmittee of the whole Hollis. IRELAND. The Martinets of LANSDOWNE wished to know whether the Bill fur renewing the Insurrection Act in Ireland would speedily come up from the other House; and whether, in the mean time, the Noble Earl opposite would have any objection to lay on the table the latest information on which the renewal of that Act was to be grounded . The Earl of 'LIVERPOOL had no objection to pro duce the information called for, With respect to the Bill itself, he was not able at that moment to answer the question of the Noble Marquess. He trusted that in a few days the papers could be laid before their Lordships. The Marquess of LANSDOWNE understanding that to be the case, gave notice that it was the intention of a Noble Friend of his (the Duke of Devonshire) to make a motion respecting the state of Irelaad s as connected with these measures, and the powers applied for b r the Irish Government, on Thursday venni/lit, for which day be moved that their Lordship; be summoned. MARMON ACT. The Order of the Day for resuming the consideration of the Report of the Committee on the blarriage Bill, having been read— The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had given the little time which he could spare from_ his other avo cations, to the consideration of the clause respecting the forfeiture of property, and the proposal to extend that forfeiture to the marriages of minors by boons, ass well as by limns's. He hid not, however, •yet been able to find his way through the difficulties of the subject, and would propose to let the clause stand as it did for the pre sent, without meaning it to be final, and on the third reading of the Bill he should probably be able tosuggest some alterations. All be should pledge himself to do, however, would be to do hie best. After a few observations from the Earls of Livtaroob, Of ILAWDIMDALIC. and of WIISTMOSLAND, the further dis cussion of the ssbject was postponed till next Thursday. —Adjourned.

TIIE COURT 0 --e"--- F COMMON COWNCIL. , The Common Council of the City of London has done itself grrat honour, and set a noble example to every other Corporation, by subscribing 100 W. in aid *CAA gallant Spaniards. The remnant of the " Pitt Partyt made a despicable muster, both in argument, kind ' hers, although Mr. S.

This may happen ; but the dilemma must ariw out of the con test at some period ; because the feelings of the propl , and the policy of the Government, are at direct variant-. A Mr. Crocker wanted the AttonserGeneral to file an information against the Court if it passed resolutions against the Bourbons.

The audacity of the Ministry, in the presentation of the account of the sixpence of the Coronation, is another, and as strong a proof as can be afforded. of the habitual profligacy of expenditure which prevails in all the higher departments of the State ; nod the scorn of public opi nion that distinguishes the parties who are supposed en bear the responsibility of such transactions. The Chancellor of the Excheoner said the whole cost of the Coronation would but little exceed die sum of 100,0001., for which he Wok a vote of the House. This was quite enough for such a purpose. Sixteen times as much as the President of the Ueited States receives for his services yearly, be - wasted in the pageantry of an hoar, was a suffi cient outrage upon the spirit of th e age ; bat, as the remnant of an old monarchical foible, it would have been toler ated without more observation than a smile. if the vote taken bad in reality covered the expense; or, indeed, if it hai come within some deeeot approximation to that 'mount. Instead of this, however, under a vote of 100,000 i. the advisers of his Majesty thought proper to' spend no less the, 233,0001. ; and, two years after this wanton insult to the distresses of the nation, they bring in the aecoun'! It is a theoretical principle of the sy,- tem, that Ministers cannot appropriate any sums of money without a parliamentary authority; but this it all a jest. In the midst of the great est distress that one part of the community had ever known ; and at the 'very period when they , must have been about to recommend . the King to give up thirty Mourned pounds of his salary, to relieve the distress of his people ; that they allowe a him to take one hundred and thirty eight thousand pounds from them, to throw away on what was little better thaa an idle show,ss far as the expensive part of the pageantry was emsetweed. Thus, instead of gaining any thing by, hie Majesty's donation of 30,000, the people were losers to the amount of 108,0001. by the extravagance of his Coronation Counsellors. We bad some donlits at the .itne, that ,the pretended bounty was a juggle; but we did not then suppose that so daring a trick , was about to be played ; and if the accounts bad been presented„ at the proper t i me, the donatio* and the egtrovagaiiiNsight have formed part of the same pa*. as a debtor and credi tor account. But the Ministry bad other funds than' those under Parliamentary contronl. They hid s stir plus, out of the sums paid by France, for the mainte nance of 'the fortifications in Flanders, and in aid of the British Army; and this surplus, instead of being brdeght to the national account, was made use of ' so ItoysPand Illiaisterial pocket money I and expended la the parade of a Coronation. It is said to have been so expended ; bat where we can .get at an item, it is .o manStf,OUS, that no one Gan believe strtli sums have been paid ! Look at the charge for the King's robes, for i ns tance. — Twenty-four thousand seven hundred pounds for robes for a'sinyle pageant ! Almost as much as.
