I r # . Sir C. ZAY bon testimony to the anxiety felt by his Hon. Friend (Mr. Peel) upon this subject. He understood it was the opinion of the medical men that the situation of the Penitentiary was not the cause of the disease. Mr. GORDON explained. Mr. GURNEY made some observations which were in audible. Mr. LOCKHART contended that the unhealthiness of %be Penitentiary was owing to its situation. Mr. DAWSON and Mr. LOCKHART explained. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Foreign Marriages Bill was read a third time and passed. SLAVE TRADE. ♦!R. Mr. WILBERFORCE rose to bring forward the motion, of which he had given notice upon this subject. His object was to obtain from the House some regulations by which the condition of the slaves in Honduras would be bettered. The Hon. Member then referred to documents which had been laid upon the table of the House in support of his motion. Rome of the cruelties exercised towards these wretches were characterized by the grossest spirit of inhu manity. Justice was not to be obtained on the spot, ann it was therefore incumbent on this House to take the busi ness -into their own hands. The inquiry which he pro posed would not occupy more than two or three days. The lion. Member concluded by moving "That a Select Com mittee be appointed to inquire into the condition of the Slaves and Free Indians of Honduras, and report the same to the House." Mr. W. SMITH seconded the motion, bat expressed doubts as to the power of this House interfering, lest it should clash with Colonial Laws. Mr. WILMOT HORTON observed that the condition of the al■ves in Honduras was comparatively good. Posi tive laws, however good, would be inefficient in that colony, unless 4 general feeling of indignation against alavery prevailed to give them etteci. There were peculiar circumstances connected with this colony which justified the Government in the measures they had adopted towards it. As be himself had a Bill on this subject which would corne on next Session, he would advise the Hon. Member to withdraw this motion, and let it nait the event of that motion. _ _ _ Dr. LUSHINGTON admitted that this was a case which called for the interference of the House, but be doubted whether it was in its power to afford any bene ficial relief, If Government, however, would take the matter up, they might calculate upon the most warm co op, ration on the part of the House and the country. Mr. F. BUXTON strongly urged the necessity of an irquiry into this subject. He quoted some instances of the most barbarous cruelty exercised upon the slaves, from the Report. One instance in particular, wherein ■ free woman, of the name of Duneanette Campbell, was charged with cruelly beating a female slave, was particu larly atrocious, and the plea which she urged was, that she was her private property, and that she might treat the creature es she thought proper. Mr. BUTTERWORTH read some private letters from Bondarae," speaking of the cruelties exercised upon the elates there. Mr. W. HORTON said it was neceitgary for the Hon. Member to go into details, as be (Mr. W.) had stated that there were peculiar circumstances connected with this colony, which justified the Government in the mea sures which tbey bad adopted towards it. Mr. WILBERFORCE, after having replied, consent ed to withdraw his motion, and wait the. event of the measure which was to to brought forward next Session. • Mr. W. SMITH presented a petition from the parish of St John, Hackney, praying that the rigours of slave ry In;ght be mitigated in the West Indies.—Laid on the Mr. W. SMITH moved for returns of the amount of ; the slave population of the West Indies, distinguishing the miles and females, as registered in the office for that purpose, fro© the period of its first establishment.— Ordered. Mr. WILMOT HORTON moved for returns, showing the progress made by the Commissioners for examining the Accounts of the Army, from sth January, 1821, to :eh January, 1821—Ordered. The House thei adjourned at eight o'cluk to Wednes day next. REVIEW IN HYDE PARK. (PrltTlirß PARTICULARS.) Yesterday morning four batiaiions of the Foot Guards, namely, the 3rd of the Ist, the Ist and 2al of the Cold stream, and the Ist or the 3rd regiments were reviewed by the Commander of the Forces in Hyde-park: The only remaining battalion of 'the Guards at present in town was on Guard. The morning b ing extremely line, a considerable number of epec'ators assembled to vi ness the spectacle, and were ranged in lines in front and rear of the military. Several carriages filled with ladies were drawn up along the ride. At nine o'clock the troops were on the ground, and reached from the Ser. rrtinr-a wet to the Uxbridge-road. Soon after 10, his Royal Highness entered the Park by Grosvenor-gate, at tended by a numerous staff of ti-Id-officers, and rode along the front of the brigade. Having returned by the rear, his Royal Highness tenk his station in front of the Hiding honed. He was mounted on a white charger, atadressial in the grenadier uniform, as Colonel of the at Ouar,'s. -Hrsilles his personal staff, he was accompa nied by the Prince of Selina, dressed in a blue foreign uniform; the Duke of Wellington, in the uniform of Master General of the Ordnance, the Adjutant and Quarter-Masters General, and several other officers of rank. Nor was his Royal Highness's train without a due portion of ladies, who, having got out of their carriages, followed him wherever he moved, in the midst of the horses on which the officers were mounted. Indeed, one par:y of ladies connived to surround the Duke of Wellington at an early hour, and completelit to detach hint from the rest of the field for the remainder of the day, whirl, gave to his Grace the extraordsnary eppharance, at a little distance, o f b r in, z barn-led by • female staff, and was, therefore the source of much merriment to the rest of the apecta tors. The Duchess of Wellington's carriage followed the Duke of York along the line. As soon as his Royal High ness had taken his stand in front, the line formed into open column', and marched by him in review order. The troops then took op a new position,and aftersome other movements the regiinentscommenced firing by companies from flanks to centre. This firing, which otherwise would have been excellent, was considerably marred by the irregularity oft of the light companies. They next fired volleys by regi ments; and V en, forming a close square, com menced independent firing, the front rank kneel ing. From this position, they formed into lines, anal having advanced in quick time in very fine stde, they maintained an independent fire from centre to dank. After performing some other evolutions, they commenced file firing, the light companies skirmishing in front, whose incessant firing, particularly amongst the trees, produced an extremely interesting effect. The light companies having fallen back upon their respective battalions, the line deployed into open column of companies, and advanced to the left. They then formed lines,and havingadvanced towards time Commander in Chief and presented arms, they were ,marched off the ground. The brigade was commanded by Col. Wood ford, of the Coldstream, as senior field-officer. The four battalions were commanded by Colonels Jones, Honverie, Ill• Donald, and Clitheroe. In retiring from the Park, the Dukes of York and Wellington were cheered by the po. palace. We understood that his Royal Highness ex pressed his satisfaction at the appearance of the troops, and at the admirable manner in which they actptiVed themselves of their various exercises throughout the day. 1....

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1823: STOCK-EXCHANGC, 12 o'CLoca.—The contract for the French Loan by Mr. Rothschild, has not had that effect upon the Market which was expected. This is owing to the high terms on which the contract was made. There are few persons eager to purchase in the loan, at the premium it bears et present, which is one per colic; but it is expected that on the return of the Contractor from Paris, on Mon day or Tuesday, the Market will take a different taro. Consols opened this morning at 83, lowered to 82&. owing to a sale of one hundred thousand ; but afterwards rose again to 831, at which price they remain steady, with but little doing. A private Letter by the Express last night from Paris, states there was a report there of accounts having arrived from Madrid of the 4th instant, respecting some affair ills's trona to the French arms. 'The particulars, however, are not given. FOREIGN FUNDS.—The French Loan has rather caused a stagnation in all the Foreign Securities. New Spanish opened at 32 31I—New Prussia, nothing doing.—Russia. SS—Danish, S7l—Columbia, 571—French Lotto, I to 1 preatium. Frankfort papers have arrived this morning to the 6th instant. By these we have received accounts from the Frontiers of Italy, of the state of affairs in Greece, to the end of May. At that time the Campaign had not begun ; but news had reached Missolunghi of the advance of the Turks, to carry into execution, it was supposed, their threatened attack on the Morea—to resist which the Greeks were tnalcing preparations. It was reported, that Lepanto had surrendered to the Greeks, but the account required- confirmation. An article (from the Oritiyal Spectator), dated Syra, May 4, repteents the inha bitants of that Island, as exposed to the greatest calami ties by the ravages of the pirates which infest the Archi pelago, and against which the only protection they have, is a French squadron. The following is an extract from the Gazette of Genoa, dated July Ist: BOLOGNA, JON' 10.—To the town of Capodnqua, towards Arquats, a city in the march of Ancona, there has fallen for some days together such a quantity of snow that it was 39 palms deep, and buried 48 persons, of whom 12 perished. A lady remained alive /Moms without food.and a hen 14 days. Twenty-sir houses were crushed, and 118 vineyards and fields laid waste. MILS. DUB.

The business of both houses is now reduced to mere routine ; and atatne session bids fair to hare a quiet easy termination. The arrears of business in the House of Lords, is to be brought up during an adjournment of the Commons to Wednesday ; and then, in the course of a day or two, the Noble Lords may return to their es tates, and the honourable gentlemen to their constitu ents ; satisfied with their common exertions for the good of the country ; which had, perhaps, nevertheless, fared quite as well, if the session bad not been as many weeks, as it is months old. In the management of the routine business, there is still a great deal of Ministerial discri mination. The Bill to compel the impoverished in habitants of Ireland to build churches for Protestant clergymen, although there may not be a dozen Protest ants in the parish, is likely to receive the sanction of the House of Lords : the lii,hop of Down, very wisely re marking, that the priests spent their income in the coon try, and therefore the levying of it could do no harm to anybody—a species of logic which we earnestly recom mend to the next irregular collector of other persons pro perty, who may be disturbed in his vocation, and find maters run hard with him, because he may have failed to secure friends at Court. He ran say, that he never spent a shilling of his gains out of the country, and that his taking them was rather a benefit than an injury, as " mo ney like manure does no good till it is spread ;" and that he was only anxious t..) circulate its advantages. The Scotch Jury Bill, after having cost the Lower House so much trouble has been rejected by the House of Lords. Lord Melville denied that any " practical evil" resulted from the present mode of the Judges striking the Juries, and the Earl of Aberdeen could see no " urgent necessity" for the measure. There were only nine Noble Lords anxious to introduce the ballot principle; and twenty were suffiei , l t to say it should not be introduced. When we remember what Scotland has been, and what it now is, as far as regards political spirit and independence, have we not reason to exclaim—" Stands Scotland where it did ?" The Duke of Leinster wide an attempt to exempt the Society of Freemasons in Ireland, from the operation of the Illegal Oaths Bill ; but the Noble Lords sera to he of opinion with the continental members of the Holy that all societies are dangerous, because they may become powerful by association and communication. It is the fashion of the day to wish forisolated, ignorant, and obedient slaves. As for the Orange Society; it ought to be soppress•d, not because it is a society, nor because it has oaths of secresy, and signs of fellowship, but because it is a society for the express purpose of sowing discord, and doing mischief. IN me COMMONS. the New South Wales Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Denman wi s h e d t h e retard of the jury to rest with the Sheriff. Provost. or some known and responsible officer; but Mr. Wilmot IMA N. • Hcrton thought 6. justice would be more fairly adminis. tered by the Governor's performance of that duty." We dare say Mr. W. Horton is in the wrong, and Mr. Den. man in the right; but Mr. W. Horton is in office, and Mr. Denman is not. The Milihank Penitentiary Bill was also passed, with the declaration on the part of Mr. Hobhouse, that the system it established was too severe; and, the expressed conviction of Mr. Gordon, that the Penitentiary was builtin an " irremediable unhealthy situation." Mr, Wilberforce proposed a resolution on the treatment of the slaves and free Indians, at Honduras. Wherever personal slavery exists, there will always be abundance of instances of unwarrantable cruelty. When the lash is in bad bands, it will often fall upon helpless shoal. tiers; and we are not at all surprised at the cruelties detailed by Mr. Wilberforce and Mr. Buxton. They can never be prevented, until the parties subjected td them become too wise to endure them any longer. But the progresi of events will soon spare us the trouble of any trans-atlantic legislation : and when Providence has kindly taken the Negroes and Indians into its own keeping, perhaps, Mr. Wilberforce, and his peculiar party will turn their attention to the White Slavery of Ireland and the British islands. We would give something to convince these gentlemen that there may be a degree of mental torture inflicted by the insults to which helpless poverty is exposed in this country, which is as galling to the soul, as the lash can be to the body ; and, which festers more deep ly -and is more difficult of cure than the consequence of stripes. During the vacation, if they have a leisure hour, and would think of this, humanity might here after thank them for it. SPAIN. Louis of France has begun to imagine himself a won. derful favourite with Heaven, because he has been suffered to dine at the Tuilleries, fur two or three years without any molestation. In his reply to the compliments of the Duke San Carlos, the rebel Regency Ambassador of Spain, he says, speaking of the progress of the Inva sion—" Oon has hitherto too visibly protected the most "just of causes, not to afford a hope that lie will con " tinue his support of it." Bravo Louis! But hold awhile good royal fanatic! If "Gan" has allowed the French Armies to march to Madrid and Seville, he did so once before, and allowed them to be driven - back &glib) ; or •rather to be immolated as victims to outraged justice, and Spanish indignation. If he has permitted the Duke d'Angonleme to reach Madrid, he has also permitted the Cones to carry Ferdinand to Cadiz. The result is not yet known. Louis is also become brave! He says, " I 6' am firmly resolved not to lay down our arms until " I have restored to Spain happiness, to its King liberty. and to Europe repose!" This is promising with a vengeance. But there is probably an equivoque in the expression. Mind him—he says orr arms; and perhaps he only speak of himself, in the usual style of royalty. Now, his arms, are nothing more nor less than knives sod forks; and he may merely mean that be will not leave:off eating, until these events shall happen. But he may be disappointed in that also. There are same f aint hopest hat Morillo may not be the traitor be hasbeen r epresented. The report is now, that he has returned to his duty, on hearing that the King had been restored to his authority ; that he had firmly denounced all connec tion with the rebel Regency; and that he had again sworn his soldiers to be faithful to the Constitution. This may have been dune from necessity. He may halo discovered that his soldiers would not share in his trea son, and has had recourse to this expedient to avoid tI e c onsequences which• the traitor Abisbal experienced. But whether the Chief be true, or the edifiers determin ed to be faithful in spite of his artifices to mislead them. •it augurs well for Spain. The real contest has not ye t commenced. The appeal to the people of Spain has no; been yet made by the Constitutionalists ; and on the part of the French, it has been made, and has failed ;—for none but a small party of despicable grandees has sanc- tioned the French aggression. Tlie French army al ready begins to look forward with terror to a winter campaign ;—wben bad roads, dark nights, and the energy of the never-sleeping guerilla warfare, will bar e rass them to their destruction. IRELAND. The Circuits have commenced in Ireland. They do not promise well for the Lawyers. At Carlow there was not one Record. The Chief Baron having nothing to do, did not arrive until the third day of the Assizes. The Lord Chancellor of England must surely envy the vied fortune of his Lordship. The country appears now perfectly tranquil. Lord Norbury, in his charge to the Grand Jury of the County of Carlow! said—" Never. during the last half cen tury, did he recollect more tranquillity than existed is the County at the present moment. He was quite aware that had he made this assertion in another place, he would not be believed! But to the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury the merit was due—they it was who protected the innocent, de terred the guilty, and checked the causes that disturbed se• eiety elsewhere."—His Lordship, in the course ofhls speech 'toted that the complaint that there was not a due adminis tration of justice in Ireland was an audacious falsehood, propagated by demagogues who sought to usurp the places of their superiors, by exciting discontent among the people. A Madrid Gazette of the 34 of July has arrived. It contains a decree by the rebel Regency, directing in what manner the prisoners made from the Constitutional forces are to be disposed of. Under the Jett; of the 2,1, it states that information hail been received, that their Majesties and their Royal Highnesses had experienced no change in their important health to the 26th of June last; that the opinion of the inhabitants of Cadiz in favour of the King, is every day more, and more con ' firmed ; that the General in Chief, Count de Boarilesoult, was hastening and pressing closer the blockade of that place and Isla ; 'that the Ex-Deputy and Ex-Minister Cepa: had disappeared from Ca lie ; and the same was said of Don Evaristo San Miguel, also ex-Deputy and ex-Minis ter dale revolutionists, carrying with Itimsorne millions. The ststement respecting haw ftlioueb is quite incon sistent with all former intelligence from Seville. Soon after he resigned his ministerial functions, he accepted a military command in Catalonia; and the etters from Ba ycinne have mentioned his arrival at Barcelona. This story, and the account which is given of the meeting at the London Tavern, show the little reliance which can he placed in the publications of the Madrid Regency. Perhaps some London Ultra has dressed that account. This Gazette contains, besides, several a dd resses to t h e M a d r id Regency, an d account of the ceremony of the restoration of the Spanish standards. Such are the contents of the Gazette, which are singular enough; hut it is also somewhat remarkable for what it does not contain—not a word is said about Morino and his inn clamitions! - - ~---a --- ~,. THE COUItT., ! The Grand Dinner given by the King on Thursday, took plaits in the State Boom, called the Octagon Boom The following were among the distinguished personsgt s at the evening party:—Lord and Lady Maryboroogh, the Earl of Bristol, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, the Earl of Sc tr. borough, the Earl and Contress of Uxbridge, Sir Charles and Lady Long, the Earl and Coontess Coutper,Viscount Melville, the has! and Countess Bathurst, the Marquess of Bath,. the Marquess Graham, Lord Oranthaqt, th e Marquess and Marchioness of Londonderry.

The Bishop of Chichester's c4rriaze was on Thtirstfity refusedentranee into St. James's Park, and, tnalgre the intercession of the venerable Bishop himself, th. c o 0 1 . man was compelled to wheel round and recros3 the Sta ble-yard. Within these few days it is nntlertoorol the privilege of the entre has been restricted to the following Right ifteverends:—Arclabishops of Canterbury and York, and the Bishops of London and Durham. So li- mited, indeed, has this desideratum of the great folks become, that, as we learn, the beautiful Dowager Duchess of Rutland was refused admissbn a few days since. _ _ _ _ _ _ We understand that the Duke of Kent's will was pre• pared by a respectable . professional gentleman of this city, two days only previous to the termination of his valuable life at Sichnooth. and that thereby the guardian ship of his only child the Princess Alexandrina, was eons. milted to the sole care and m mageruent of his amiable Duchess.—(Exeter Gazelle) At a late hour on Thursday night Mr. Marsh ill, the Consul at Calais, arrived at the For,ign Oilier n it 6 des patches from Sir Chas.
