ri I I should be eaforcod.--(Hear, bear.)—The Dissenters, on the contrary, objected to these conditions, and wished that nothing but reading, writing, and accounts should be taught. Now io the Bill which he bad introduced into the House, the Dissenterrhad gained their object; for in conformity to the recommendation of the Commis sioners in their Report, all these concessions were granted to them. He must once more state that the great national good to be derived from educating the poor could only be attained by both parties giving op something. Unless this were done, the Legislature could do nothing.; and all attempts at establishing a ge neral system of education would be perfectly nugatory. This led him to his last remark. It was said by souse that there was no necessity for taking any further means than those already in action, to accelerate the progress of education. Upon this question he had only to refer to the Parochial Hewes which he introduced to the House in the last Session, clearly abetting that sub necessity did exist. Now he was aware that it had been said that those Returns, so far from being correct, contained a mass of errors, and could not at all be re lied on. His answer to that was a very short one. lie would delay the measure—he would put off its further consideration ;—he would not call upon those who de nied the accuracy of the reterus to advance one step until they bad made every inquiry, so as to be able to substantiate their charge, if it eau substantial. The accuracy of their details had been impeached, and he was willing to stop on that account. All he asked was , that inquiry should be made during the pre sent summer, and lie would put them in a way bow to Obtain a test for their accuracy. They had been col lected by 12.0110 respectable Clergymen : and from the manner in which they had been collected it was almost impossible but that they must be accurate. He (lid not mean to apply this to large parishes, such as some of those contained in the metropolis; hut it was upon the returns from the country places on which he most relied; and there it was that education was most neces sary, as being least provided. These places amounted to nine thousand out of the twelve throughout England and Wales. There was a test fur the correctness of the returns if they looked to those concerning the endowed schools. The number of common day schools and their echolars fluctuated in every year, and even in every month. But if they lookid to the endowments they would find that there was the most perfect accuracy.— lt was therefore fair to presume that the returns for the other schools were accurate in a like degree. They were enabled to prove the returns of the endowments by the Digests which had been made from the Reports of the Commissioneis for the various districts. These digests were authentic as to the number of endowed schoolsand their scholars, and between them and the parochial re turns, there would be found the difference of an unit.— The Commissioners with whom he bad conversed upon ! this subject, only expressed their wonder they had found the returns so accurate as they were. Unqiuestionably some omissions might have occurred in them, and must likely those omissions would be found connected with large towns and Sunday Schools. There was one dis trict in the north which had been examined by a Com mittee entrusted with the management of a Sunday school, under the belief that the parochial returns were inaccurate. They found thirty-eight Sunday Schools in existence, whereas the returns mentioned but twenty. Now it so happened that the Committee upon enquiring further, ascertained that twenty of the existing schools' had been establi.hed subsequent to time time at which the returns were made. So, supposing that two schools bad been dropped, while the twenty were added, the two ac counts would tally to an unit. Fur all these reasons, he confidently believed in the accuracy of the parochial returns. But their accuracy bad been impeached, and be would therefore wait until another season in order that inquiry should be made. He had said that he would supply a test by which their accuracy might be tried. It could be done by making fresh eounpa risons with the Digests which bad been printed. And if ant person would send to him front any county, he would forward thous by return of post if possible, and free of postage, as they were Government papers, one or two copies of the Digest for that county. Of course it was unnecessary to say that he made this offer to per sons of all religions. No one. he should expect, would make request from mere idle motives, and without the intention of entering into an examination of the subject. It utmost be borne in mind in making the comparisons, that the returns were made in 181 S, and the variations should he noted, both of the numbers of schools fallen off, amid as he confidently trusted, of the much larger proportion which had been added since that time. This was certainly an unusual means of giving such a notice, but it was the best u hich he could employ, and would avoid a considerable expense. lie wished that all par ties should meet each other with a spirit of toleration and concession. He should be ready to concede any modifications which he should be convinced would be for the general good. Nay, if he were to be convinced that the whole measure would not be productive of be nefit, he would be ready to give it up altogether. He' was nut so wedded to it, but that he was still more wedded to religious liberty, and the free exercise of con science in this country. And he would much rather give up the measures altogether, than that those mighty causes should suffer by their introduction. From the most patient attention, however, to all that had been said, amid all Hort had been written upon the subject, he lead never entertained the least doubt of the soundness of his general principles. Mr. lialtiHT contended that the Education Bill was an attack upon religions liberty, and he hoped it would be manfully resisted by those who were interested. 'rise Dissenters were to be taxed for the support of Schools, the Teachers of which were to be chosen by the Estab lished I. l .ergy, and oho would teach in a manner which would be agreeable to that Clergy. The accuracy of the Returns in the Digest had been dispntecl, and as it ap peared, with reason, for the Sunday Schools were almost entirely overlooked. Ile should oppose the measure of the Honourable Member for Winclielsea, as its ten dency and effect would obviously be to throw the whole education of the country into the hands of the Estab lished Church, to the exclusion and injury of the Dis senting interests. Mr. BRGUGHANI said that there was no wish on the part of those who supported the measures which bail been introduced into Parliament, to injure in the slightest degree, the feelings of the Dissenters. It was necessary to state this in order to prevent the dispas sionate remarks which his Hon. Friend had uttered from producing that belief in the country. Mr. BRIGHT explained. Mr. BECHER was glad that the 'objector Irish Edu cation badfallen into such able bands. The printing of the Report, and its circulation, would be productive of the greatest good. Colonel FRENCH was ready to support any plan fur e ineating the poor in Ireland,. because it would lead to the extinction of the Catholic Religion, by the introduc tion of reason and common sense. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH spoke ts few words expressive qd his favourable opiuion towards the promotion of Edu cation. lie deprecated every thing which might tend to create ill-temper between religions Persuasions. Mr. WALLACE brought in the (foods Warehousing Bill, which was read a first time and ordered to be read a second time that day three months, and to be printed in the interim. Mr. WALLACE brought', the Report of the Foreign Trade Committee. lie was glad to say that it was highly probable a mode might be suggested for giving British blerchanto a participation in the advantages of the In dian Trade. lie trusted the Best India Company would --~r-- TH. cement .to the arrangement, and that, show that they were not forgetful of the claims of British Merchants in general. Mr. MONEY said a few words in defence of the East India Company. Mr. WALLACE explained. Mr. HUME said. the East India Company had often shown a spirit of liberality; but they generally viewed their exclusive advantages with great strictness. He thought Ministers deserved the thanks of the coantry for showing a disposition to open the trade. Mr. JOHN SMITH approved the principle of a free trade. The Report was then ordered to be printed. Sir F. OMMANEY brought op the Report of the Committee cm Highways.—Ordered to be printed. CORONATION. Sir F. 01I'MANEY moved, " That the Howie do now adjourn." Mr. HL'ME said, he had to give notice of a motion for an Address to his Majesty, for the purpose of in suring the peace of the Capital on the approaching Co ronation. After the accusation which had been brought against him— , The SPEAKER Isere begged to remind the Hon. Member, that he was merely giving notice of a motion. Mr. HUME submitted lie wits in order, as be was speaking on the question of adjournment. As he had been accused on a former occasion of a desire to risk tbc peace of the country, respecting the questions a ff ecting her Majesty, he was anxious to such steps as would Mt an end to the risk altog ethe r. He thought her ajesty's Advocates bad, on her claim before the Coun cil, made out a case, which, in ordinary tribunals, would command success: but as he could not look for a fa vourable decision on that sabject, lie wished to know whether Ministers intended to continue their system of persecution against her, by refusing her, on the ap proaching solemnization, those accommodations which were afforded to the other branches of the Royal Family. Ile was satisfied her Majesty wished to attend the so !moil. Ile therefore gave notice, that he should to morrow move an Address to his Majecry, praying that he would be graciously pleased to give directions for the adoption of such measures as were rendered neces sary, by her Majesty's rights, the wishes of a people, and a regard to the peace of the Metropolis, upon the approaching Coronation. Mr. BUTTE RWORTH regretted that notice of such a motion should be given just as the House was about to rise. Ile thought her Majesty had already had many 1 ill advisers; but he trusted, for the sake of the little credit she had left, that she would abstain on the ap -1 proaching occasion (ruin interference in any shape what ever. Mr. Ald. WOOD sail! he was sure her Majesty's con• duct would be regulated by her own spirit; and he believ ed 99 of every 100 inhabitants of the country were in her favour. It certainly was her 3lajesty's intention to at tend the Coronation. _ _ _ Sir F. ONDIANEY deprecated the agitation in so thin a House, of a question under the discussion of the Privy Council. lie thought nothing could be more ill adviird • and if the present conrersAtion were continued, he should more that the House he counted. merely wished to explain, in answer to a remark of the Hon. Member (Mr. Ltutterworth, we be lieve.) He (Mr. H.) had never been adviser of her Ma i jesty, and he believed never should be one. The House then adjourned until this day.

By letters from Rio de Janeiro, dated the 11th of May, we are informed that the King sailed for Li.bon on the 26th of April, on board a line of battle ship, ac companied by a small squadron of two frigates, with some smaller vessels of war and transports. His suite was numerous; he was also attended by 9UO families of the city, the whole consisting of 4,000 persons. The King has left the government of Brasil to his Royal Highness Don Pedro, with the Conde dos Arces as his prime Minister. A few days before his departure, we regret to learn that the tranquillity of the city was dis turbed, and serious consequences were apprehended from the troops having been called in to disperse a meet-I ing of electors held that day in the exchange, to nomi nate deputies to the Cortes. Instead of doing that for which they were convened, a deputation was sentl about midnight to the King, requiring a provisional go vernment in conformity to the principles of the Spanish constitution, which he agreed to. As, however, the meeting followed up this step by other irregular pro ceedings, the military were brought forward, when un happily they fired into the Exchange, and killed and wounded many individuals, and apprehended others. Several among the killed and those under arrest are re spectable shopkeepers and dealers.—Tranquillity be came restored, but there was no business doing when these accounts came away. Advices from Chili have come to hand to the middle of March. Up to that time Lima remained in the possession of the Royalists; but some part of the vicinity was then about to be at tacked. One of the letters observes, " Lord Cochrane has taken on board his squadron of 1000 picked men, and very excellent soldiers, from the army of the Insurgents; lint what be intends to do with them, or against what part of the kingdom of Pere he intends to proceed, we are not informed here, but it is believed that he will go against Callao. He is In regular commuoicatiou ;with San Martin." The intelligence from Greece and Turkey respecting the pending contest, is ragweed contradictory. A report is mentioned of the entire evacuation of the Mores by the Ottoman forces. The latest accounts from the loalaa Islands state. that in the Capitals( Etolia fresh disorders had broken out in coaaelseiee of lb. murder of the Patriarch.

MAT 24.) " HAVANNAH, MAT IS. " I avail myself of the departure of the Comet to In form you of the latest intelligence from Mexico, which has occasioned much uneasiness and dissatisfaction here amongst the well thinking and higher orders of inhabi tants. The intelligence from Mexico states, that a plan has been proposed by Colonel Iturbide to the Vice- Roy of Mextto, for the protection of the Iloly Catholic religion, and the independence of New Spain. The basis of this project which was formed in Feb. last, when Iturbide raised the standard of rebellion, and proposed the esta blishment of the Roman Catholic religion, without any to lerationorith the erection of a constitutional empire. Don F'ertlinsndo, the seventh King ofSpain, was to be named Etnperorof Mexico, and was there to present himself to take the oath of the Constitution to be framed by the Mexi can Cortes; or his brother Francis, or the Archduke Charles of Attstria, and in default of all these, the Member of any Royal house that should befixed upowby Congress. lite know not which we should admire most, the plan itself or the singular idea of presenting it to the Vice- Roy for his approval. The amounts from Mexico back to the 2lst of March, at which time I turbide's affairs ap peared to be on the wane, as the great desertion amongst his followers had compelled him to retire before the ad vancing Real forces." The brig Boston has arrived in 19 days from Faval. A revolution has been effected at Terceira, in which the Captain-General was killed. All, however, was quiet on the 221 April. The private letters received from on board the Congress frigate are dated the middle of March. They state the crew of the vessel to have suf fered greatly during her passage from Manilla ; died within ten or fifteen clays of the Cholera Mortars. The scurvy made its appearance near the Cape of Good Hope, and there were upwards of 90 men on the sick list at Rio Janeiro. Mr. Stomper, our former Minister to the Go vernment of Portugal, it is said, was to return to the United States. The Congress, in which he was to em bark, is probably arrived by this time in Hampton Roads. The House of Commons met again, last night, par anent to i.djoarnment. The only motion of which souks had Wei given wee that of Mr. S. NICE, relative to the printing a Report of the Commissioners of Education in Ireland. In the course of the dis cussion which ensued, Mr. BROCORAM took occasion to advert to his elaborate Bill for the establishment of Parochial Schools in England, and to the reasons which induced him to suspend its progress in the present Session. flaying noticed at some length the character and tendency of this important measure, and having the prospect of approaching leisure for occasionally return ing to those subjects of Parliamentary discussion which merit further consideration, we shall content ourselves at present with repeating our doubts whether any modi fication of the Bill can render it generally acceptable. Among the topics that were incidentally introduced in the course of the evening was one which has very extensively been the occasion of public remark, the omission of the signature of Professor Asvostoaacnt in the report of the medical persons which had been published in The Leaden Gazette. That gentleman is stated by Sir Ilunsox Lowe to have assisted at the dis section ; and the whole of the medical gentlemen pre. sent, it k added, concurred in the report of the appear ance of the parts of the body. Why, then, when the names of all the other persons of that description are annexed to the certificate, does that of the Professor not appear ? We have beard it assigned as a probable rea son,that the report being officially addressed to the British Government, it would have been inconsistent to have it signed by any other than British subjects: but this rea son did not occur to the Marquess of LoNnotsnanay. who very frankly owned that he did not know why the omission took place. This acknowledgement will not remove the suspicion which has prevailed that Pro fessor ANTOMMARCIII did not concur in some opinion with the other medical gentlemen, or that he declined attesting a statement which was made to give counte nance to the report that the deceased bad died of • hereditary cancer. We need not repeat bow the idea of that kind of disease has been treated by the faculty in general here, or for what purpose such a story had been put in circulation. Can any intelligent man believe that the place and circumstances of Bonara•Tit's con• 6aement were not sufficient to account for the disease of which he died. So long ago as the year ISIS, it appears that Mr. O'Meara, the late surgeon to Napoleon, in a letter to Mr. Owes's, stated it as his opinion that the life of BONAPARTE would be endangered by a longer residence in such a climate as that of St. Helena, especially if that residence were aggravated by a continuance of those disturbances and irritations to which lie had been previously subjected, mid of which it was the nature of his distemper to render him peculiarly imsceptible. This opinion it further appears was repeated by the same gentleman, to the Earl of BATHURST within the last month, in still stronger terms; and, indeed, it is evident to every one who has any cape dence or knowledge of the effect of mental anxiety that nothing bass more di rector active tendency to predacethat derangement of the digestive organs whkh was theocca, sios of the death.—The other incidental 'abject which was introduced last night, was the mods, a a motion , which recites in every quarter the highest interest. It was announced by Mr. Hest* that it wits his intention to seen this day " Mat sa Address be manta to his • ••••••••.• • .-011110•11.1r.•••10.1.6•111111111111111OMIMP •••••• • OmMIIM -am .~ MAIM!. praying him to take into his most serious con • sideration, ter MaJaarv's right to be crowned at the ap proaching Coronation, and to direct such measures to be taken as May secure her rights, in order to meet the wishes of the people of England. and preserve the pal . lic peace." Should the object of the motion fail, cud the decirion of his MAADITT'iI Council be repugnant to the claim of the QUEEN, it was intimated by Mr. Alderman WOOD that her MAJWITT was determined to be protein at the approaching ceremopy. QUIRK'S CLAIM TO Br CROMMIO.--ft Is confidertly asserted that the Privy :*ouncil yesterday, after an hones deliberation, resolved unanimously to report to the King against the Queen's Claim to be Crowned : those who were understood to dissent from this opi nion baring staid away. The resolution of the Coun cil, after being laid before the King, is expected to he transmitted, through the Secretary of State to the Queen. This communication, rrobably, will be made to-da y. Letters from Stockholm dated the 26th alt. state that the claim of the English merchants for the seisore of goods about two years ago, at Bodo', in Norway, have been adjusted by the payment of 2.5001. and the remission of duties to the amount of 15,0001. mare, on merchandise to be imported iuto Norway within a limited period. Letters from Constantinople of the 6th ult. mention that Danesi, the banker, has been put to death by order of the Porte, notwithstanding the pressing instances of Count Strogonoff, the Russian Ambas sador, to sate him—s result which must hate been the more painful to that minister, as it is understood that the unfortunate Danesi was solely induced to re main in Constantinople by the assurances of his pro. tection. Tug COURT.--Yesterday at half past eleven o'clock "his Majesty held a Privy Council at his Palace in Pall-Mall. The hint gave audiences to the Pearl of liarrowby, Sir Charles Long, and the Judge Advo cate, «•ho laid before his Majesty the proceedings of some courts martial. The Court broke up about one o'clock. Some time afterwards his Majesty gave au audience to Viscount Sidmouth. Parer Cotnectt..—Yestertlay the Prim• Council as sembled at Whitehall at It) o'clock. There was a smaller attendance of privy councillors than usual, and none of the opposition members of the House of Commons were present. The Attorney an•, Solicitor 6eneral were called into the Privy Coun cil soon after they assembled. Mr. Brougham s Mr. Denman, and her Majesty's Solicitor, Mr. Wizard, re mained in the room appropriated for counsel in attend ance uotil a quarter past eleven o'clock, at which time the Privy Council rose. A number of strangers were in waiting at an early hour, but none Isere. admitted; and an or ler was issued to keep the inner lobby clear near the council-room. Inett the Council broke up nothing was known except the mere adjournment. No communication whatever was made to the Queen's Counsel. It was understood that the Privy Council had decided, and that their decision would be forthwith reported to his Majesty. Thus the matter rested at half-past I 1 o'clock. Doran, JULY 9—" The Duke de Orammont, Am bassador from Paris, with a numerons retinue, is arrived this day from Calais. The Duke of Cambridge and the Prince Hatsfeldt are expected to-morrow from 1'a1.6. For some days the arrival of both English and foreign nobility has been very considerable, and many more are on the road travelling for the Coronation."—Vesterday the Duke of Gramma' reached town, accompanied by the Marquis de Perignun, and several other persons of distinction. The llononrable Artillery Company are ordered to attend in their ground to-morrow (Thursday) after noon, at 5 o'clock, when the new colours of the regi ment will be consecrated. GOVir-INCIIANOI, JULY lI.—A large proportion of Monday's supply of Wheat remained over for this morri• ing's market, but which chiefly consisted of samples of inferior quality, for which there was but little demand, and consequently it met very heavy sale at Monday' , prices; but prime samples were disposed of on full as good terms as on that day.—The arrivals of Oats thi. week have been abundant, and !saving but few buyer., the trade was exceedingly dull, at a decline of from 611 to Is. per quarter.—ln Barley, Beans and Peas, there is, no alteration. DRURr-LAXE THEATRE. The Queen last night honoured Drury-lane theatre with her presence to see Guy .31amsering. Her Majesty, with her usual punctuality and attention to public con venience, entered the stage box at the Prince's •ide few minutes before seven o'clock, the hour fur com mencing the performance. She was attended by 1,0: I and Lally flood. The moment her Majesty appeared. the audience rose, and greeted her with loud and pro longed acclamations. Immediately after her Majesty entered, "tioil save the King" was called fur, and in compliance with this call, the whole corps dramutivre appeared upon the stage. In every passage of thi• anthem, where the King is mentioned, the " Queen" was unanimously substituted by the audience, an.l this substitute appeared to us to have been adopt ed by the majority of the singers on the stage.-- Such passages in the piece as appeared to have a bear ing neon her Majesty's case, were eagerly caught arid loudly applauded. Between the acts the Queen's name was pronounced with laud cheers, which her Majestv once or twice graciously acknowledged. After the halt price, and during the renewed greetings, four or five young men, ambitious of distinction, attempted from the slips to disturb the audience by cries insulting to the king, whose name they uttered with offensive famili• arity, when the Queen's was vociferated, awl by hissing ; but all their efforts to create even a partial disturbance in the theatre failed. After the play her Majesty re tired amidst the warmest applause of a crow ded audience. SPORTING IN TR LIG RAYCE. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING, 1821. TUEiDAT, IL LY 10.
