PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY. acne LORD3.—No'hing to call for particular notice, eTrept that it is no more than doe to the Lord Chancel lor to say, that he carried himself very temperately in his triumph over the niarriage act people. Lnrd EuAN POROUtsH having atured something about the new new marriage ant, the Lord Chancellor observed, " that it " would be better to in' roduce a feu words into this Bill, "just for the purpose of its being understood, that the " clauses of the old marriage act, which were repealed by the let of list Session, were by the present Bill " again bioubt into operation." THE UOMMONq.—The only subject worthy of atten tion was a notice, given by Mr. BaowsLow, of a motion Or 15th of May) on the subject of the ex officio iafor ;maiioas in Irelan I. The reason for this long delay was, as stated by Mr. BILOWNLOW, in order that the discussion should take place with the whole of the Irish nietubers in the Mouse. We Phoild make no remark up- on this, had the iVurning Chronicle been silent ; but that paper persists in tubing an open part in favour of Mr. pi. l4 h e tt ; or, rather, it continues to endeavour to justify the puliry of laird Wellesley, which policy we think not to 1; j.istitied, however good the intentions of the \oble Lori may have been. We shall insect the remarks of the ilfuraing Ch ronicle to which we allude, in order to rantiso sr readers against being iutluencrtl by any observations of the Fame sort. " It is impossible for auy reflecting mind to be indifferent "lOSbe critical situation of Ireland. The question is mot . - ",4ether Catholics or Protestants shall be most favoured " by the State, hut whether the existing laws of the country " shall be the rule of its Govcrnmeat, - or that Government " abandon its fanetions and its power to a desperate and "flogitivus.raction, who acknowledge no guide but Virir ccoust3lontholon s name has been so interwoven with all tbie tissue of complaint against Sir Hudson Lowe, and his authority is to of t... 71 referred to, that it is necessary to atate - O'Meara's confidential opinion of this person. We shall leave I ant Montholon to settle with Mr. O'Meara the complimentary part of this information; but we must notice, th,•.:, notwithwatading O'M ear' expiained, and alontholon thankfolly aeknowleged that Major blor ertmer was cotnhioi lig heaven and earth to lodge him s pa his lady," w find in the Journal, under the date of September, 1816. the following grievous statement of -their habitation : ss Count Illont!.ol& n called Captain Blakeney and my self this day to look at the state of his apartments ; the rooms, especially the Countess's bed-room the children's room, and the h room, were in a shocking state, from the extreme homiaity of the place; the walls were co vered with green fur and mould, damp and cold to the touch, notwithstanding the fires that were continually kept in them. 1 never saw a human habitation in a more mouldy or humid state; in which opinion the or derly ollicer agreed."—Vol. ii. p. 213. It is observed, that this " stamp, cold, mouldy" hovel bast been the residence of the Lit utenant-Governor of the island, who, with his lady, left it at two day's notice, for the reception of Bonnaparte and his suite; and since that period no trouble, no expense had been spared to ex tend and improve the accommodation ; but although in lii: book it suits Mr. O'Meara to give such a melancholy description, we find in another of his private notes that Monti:ohm's apartments were so splendid as to be an ob ject of jeslouse to the French. " Cipriani " (the fellow who dropped his real name of .Franceschi)" told Buomptrte, that Montholon's house was mole like a counT—(underlined by O'Meara himself), —then a private house; that it corrained a magazine ofl furniture; and that when he could not find any thing else. so tl. sirous was he nfgrabbingf something, that lie re en t out and laid hold of the wool for fuel, and carried it %tit!, him it to his store. Buonaparte sent from Mons tholnn intinediatelv after, and they have been since clo so thogether abuse three hours."—Note of 71/i Sep , tembrr, IMI6. • We are very far from being inclined to judge of Count tlutitholon from the reports of such persons as O'Meara and Cdpriani; hut in weighing the accuracy and authen ticity of ll'Meare's publication, it is impossible not to observe open such assertions as the foregoing, that the liar, and coward, and plunderer, of the private notes, is a disiitterested hero in the public work; and, what is the most iidicolons rapproachement of all, it is to this proverNal hi tn, as he designates Count de alontholon, that the writer refers in his preface, for his own veracity. It is painful to be obliged to repeat these personalties, lint the exposure of O'Meara requires it ; and truth and justice require the exposure of 0' Mean. We trust that a similar apology will be accepted. for the statenteets we are about to make. It is odious to us to bring the names of ladies before the public in any . way that may be unplessart to their feelings; but justice to the anthoriti• ti at St. Helena, and to the British nation itself, obliges us to state that this man, who accuses Sir Ilnilson Lowe of making "common-plaee observations on the delicacy of French ladies" (vol. it. p. 338), and who makes a still grot;ser charge of indelicacy on the part of Sir 'rhos. Read (i. 219), is, as in the former case, the person really guilty of what he imputes to others; and that he not only makes in detail the identical obser vations which he charges in general terms upon Sir Thos. Read ; hu: betrays, in the most delicate points, the secrets, even the medical secrets, of his female patients, autl defames, with the grossest imputations, the personal button of at least one of them. Our respect for remits fecal gs and pub is deceticy forbid us to enter into these lactating details; hut the letters which our pen refuses to copy are lying before us, and shall be communicated Co Coosa.. florin od and alontholon, if they ever sonde . s. end to take any notice of such unmanly calumnies. Here we p lose to asks it readers, whether we have not retlecutod the pledge oe gave at the beginning of this . article ?—whother any man alive can now give the ti~htr:a reedit to thi; work ?—whether its author ought not to be overwhelmed with shame ; whether his parti e..nt are not covered with ridicule ; whether there ever has le en so complete, so ignominious anexpoture as that • which we hate inflicted on the htekle:s O'hleare.

ID.. _ THE S'iIATEB4, " inflamed prejudices and rancorous bigotry. Ills Majes " ty's cordial acceptance of the cordial loyalty of the whole " Irish people, - was gall and bitterness to those who con " ceived themselves as much entitled to a monopoly of the " Royal regard and kindness as to that of all power and " emolument. A new excitement throughout the vast rami " fications of the Orange system succeeded. The conces " %ion to the Catholics in 1782 produced the outrages, which. " in 178.', and the following years, desolated the country " The great Legislative relief of 1793 was marked by renew " ed enormities, and a more regular organization of the " Orange system. and ultimately, as a consequence, by the " rebellion 01 1798. At each of these epochs it was sought " to render nugatory the determination of the Legislature. "To borrow the Parliamentary language of Mr. 01.1 RATTAN, " They (the Orangemen) had repealed by their own autho " rity all the laws lately made. In favour of the Catholics,and " had established in place of Law, the Inquisition of a Mob. " • • • " Other insurgents had been put to death in the " field and on the scaffold; but with regard to Orangemen " they had met with impunity, and success, and triumph.— " They were permitted to triumph over the Law, over the " Magistrates, over the People."—Such was the picture " drawn be this Statesman and Patriot in 179 d, and the fea " tures and the colouring are true to the life in 1823." First we would observe that orangcman, means pro testant ; and that orange-system means protestant system—Next, we would observe, that the Chronicle could not have fallen upon a snore unlucky authority than Mr. GasvTAN.—Mr: Urattan was given to draw pictures ; and.he helped to draw the picture, which sent us in to the last war against Buonaparte, which war gave us the inestimable benefit of the Bourbons, of which benefit we arc now taxiing.—Apropon, of the Bourbons ; and the Chronicle has not been so furious for war against the said Bourbons, since it has been taught, that war would cause the jews and jobbers to be paid off honest& in good hard paper owney.—But, to return to Mr. GRATTAN, that gentleman could draw something else besides pictures. lie could draw Bills: and not much of accommodation Bills neither. No small bills : but a good, bona fide bill, for the shutting up of Irish• men in their houses front sun set to sun rise; and fur transporting them in case of breach of this Bill, with out trial by jury! There have been several editions or revivals of this Bill ; but it was drawn by the late Mr. GRATTAN while he was in office, and left as a legacy to his successor.—We have always been on the side of the Catholics ; that is to say, we have always wished to see their religion not only perfectly tolerated ; but to see them really put upon a level with the protestants. But, we have always said, that this never could be done by what has been called Cutholic Imancipation ; and have always insisted, that any thing - short of doing away with the protestant church establishment, could have no tendency to produce any thing but irritation and nits chief.—And what are the proofs that the Chronicle pro duces ? IVhy, it says, that his Majesty's conduct while in Ireland, his attempts to conciliate the parties, only pro duced an additional quantity of bitterness between them. It says, that the concession to the eatholics iu 1752 pro duced outrages which desolated the country. It says, that the concessions to the catholies of 1793, finally pro duced the rebellion of 1798 After this, what are the rhetorical flourishes of Mr. Grattan? And is it ria ridiculous to talk of quieting [raised by little nibbling: at the protestant power. We would put the catholics, as we said befdre, upon a level with the protestants. We view the thing in its true light. We would act as States men ought to act. We would have peace in Ireland. And if we could not have it one way, we would have it in another. If we could not have it by putting the catholic% on a level with the protestants, we would have it by firmly maintaining the predominance of the prutestants. Any middle course is only giviatr, fuel to the tire of ani mosity and desolation. Here is a fine country actually torn to pieces by little miserable attempts to reconcile parties, as much opposed to each other as tire and water. The great curiosity is, too, that the Chronicle abuses the Roman Catholic religion pretty liberally; calls it all manner of lames ; accuses it of favouring despotism ; accuses it as essentially connected with starkness and tyranny : does all this ; and, in an article the other day, recommends that itinerant .W Ihodists should be sent about Ireland to root it out; is guilty of all this injustice towards a religion whirls is yet the religion of the far greater part of the Christian world : does all this ; wants to put down the religion, while, at the very same moment, and in the same breath, it denominates the opponents of it in Ireland a flagitious faction, and seems enraged that any one should disapprove of some of them being pro ceeded against by ex-officio information, after a grand jury had thrown out the bill of indictment againt them. Upon the conduct of the Marquis IVellesley we wish to make no comment. We give him credit for perfectly good motives. We think that those who attempted to assault I • were very brutal villains ; hut, we repeat again and again, that his policy has b.sen, in our opinion, erroneous in the extreme. DUE I STOCK EXCHANGE, HALF-PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK.-- This day being settling day in the Stock Exchange, the chief business doing is the adjustment of Accounts. In the earlier part of the morning there were, even then, four defaulters, and more are expected. Consols opened at 73U, and were done at 74 ; hut went down arain to 731!, at which price they are at present, with rather a heavy 1 1 market. The Expresses from Paris this morning, bring the French fonds somewhat improved, SO. 10. cents., and Spanish 3*.1. We understand by the French papers', brought by the expresses, that the expected expose of Chateaubriand has not taken place as yet,—and it appears that the warlike prepArations still continue. Foams/ FUNDS.—There is not much doing this morning in the above market. Spanish bonds are at 33., 331., 331., 33i 1., with a slack market. Chili, G9l—New Spanish, 331—01 d. 39—New Prussia, 75—01 d, 79—Russia, 73—Danish, 7S—Colombinu, Neapolitan IV—Spanish Scrip, 331.. Paris papers to the filth have arrived. The Journal des Debuts has resumed its pacific aspect, and gives a formal contradiction to the 'Minoan of an opposite cha racter that had been circulated in Paris. It denies that there bad been any difference of opinion in the French Cabinet, or any Manifesto drawn up against Spain, or any contract made to supply the French armies with pro visions. All this, accompanied with the usual inferences a nd reports, tend to favour the idea that some accommo dation is still eactel, though it is certain that military preparations still continue as active as before, and that [. ;• naval armaments have sailed. The army of Faith is re organizing under the protection of France, am! a hand of it, to the amount of 600th men, is said to be collecting to form the Vanguard of the invasion. On the other hand the Constitutionsliste of Spain are not idle. The accounts from Perpignan and Bayonne are to the 16th, and from them it appears that the Spaniards are rein forcing the garrisons, and fortifying some points towards the frontier. It is said that 9 ,500 men entered St. Se bastian on the 10th, and that more were expected in a few slays. Some troops hail arrived at Irun, with four pieces of light artille►y ; and several posts had been es tablished along the liblassoa.—An article in the Bra peau Blanc having given offence to the Chamber of Peers, the editor of that journal, and the writer of the article, were brought to the bar of that assembly. They were beard by themselves and counsel, after which the Chamber acquitted the editor, and sentenced the writer of the article to be imprisoned one month, and to pap a I fine of 100 (lanes. The proceedings were with closed doors. FUNDS ON SATURDAV.--Five per cents. opened at 79f. 90c.; rose to sof. loc. ; cn I closed at 79f. 4111 c. Neapo litan Stock, 66k. Bark Shares, 1435. Exchange on London, one mouth, 9.5 f. sth.: three months, 251. 35c. Bayonne papers to the 13th inst. which have been received this morning, state that the military pre parations there are going on with the greatest activity. and that it was the general opinion that the entrance into Spain would take place the latter end of next month. An outline of the -plan of the campaign, as laid down by the agents of the army of the Faith, re prccents the first object of attack to be Saragossa, while an army in Catalonia will march direct to Bar celona. There are no fresh accounts of importance front Spain. The statement given yesterday of the removal of t b ' Royal Family of Spain to Corunna, is said by one pa,:er of this morning to be of oli.cure orittin,antl by another to have been circulated in Paris a ne-k before. Be that as it may, there has been nothing yet advanced to im peach its credit. Among the many odd rumours in vireo' ition, to ac count for the existing state of suspence in the contest between France and Spain, and the reserve of Lord Li verpool and Mr C..uninit on the subject, is the following statement in a paper of this morning :—That the British Ministers have been requested to avoid taking any mea sures, or making any staktement in Parham mt. till they should have received 00,Axposition, which 111. de Cita trauhriand was to Itildialks on Monday last, of the views of France towards hipidu; and which Expwition, it was hoped, might prove satisfactory to this country. The Army Estimates for the current year have been laid before the [louse of Commons. The total number of the army, includinz ofikers, is t+9,426, besides the Veteran battalion., which amount, including ogicets, to 2,691. From this number is to be deducted 19,977 men serving . in India, who are paid by the East India Company: the charge for the remaining expellees of the army is 6.05-1061. 2s. 10d., ineheting the half-p ty and pensions.

Vander Loefp, is ar rived in the Downs from the Nlediterninean, last from the Tagus, from whence she sailed on the 15th inst. Eleven transports and a frigate, with troops for the Brazils, sailed at the saute time. The French ship of war earnelina MRS lost near Cape Itoxas on the Ist. Nearly 100 persons drowned; she was bound front France for Martinique, with a Governor on board. The Diana is hound for Flushing. For the last wick, and again yesterday, not less than 170 tons of mosqiiet gun barrels, 3111 musquets complete, with stocks and bayonets, have been brought into the basin of the Regent's Canal, Cily-road, and immen:e quantities are hourly arriving, and a daily succession is coining, supposed all fur Foreign service. Trip LATE REV. Un. Ronntrrs.—On Monday a long train of distinguished characters, followed the remains of the late venerable High-Master of St. Paul's school to the new church of St. Mary-la-bonne, where they were deposit ed in a vault beneath the chancel. Dr. Roberts had retired from public life in the year 1811., after having fulfilled the arduous duties of his office for a period of five and forty years; and, with his mental faculties unimpaired to the last, departed this life on Saturday the lath inst. at the advanced age of 94 years. ALARMING FIRE THIS MORNINE.—A fire took place this morning at a hat manufactory in Draper's-buildings, London-wall. It broke nit about half-past nine o'clock, and in a short period the whole of the manufactory wits burnt down. The flames raged with great fary towards the bark of Great Bell-sllev, and at noon were not sub dued, having communieated to several small houses. FIRE AT THE FOUR COURTS, DUBLIN.—An accidental fire broke on', on Saturday night, in one of the offices of the Common Pleas, situate in the eastern qiiadranele of the Four Courts ; the result of an investigation before Councellor Cole, at Monntrath-street Police Office, held yesterday, has been the pleasing discovery, that tLe da mage is trifling, and that none of the records or papers have berm in the least degree injured.—(Dublin Altan• kg Pest, &k 24.) MATCH TO NEWDURY.—Mr. West, the amateur, who started from Hyde Park at ten o'clock on Monday, to perform the distance of a hundred and twelve wiles in 26 hours, for one hnndrel, reached Slough, as was stated yesterday (20 miles) in four hours. He went through Maideallead (21i miles), incog. before seven, having halted half an hour. lie was at Reading at !I o'clock and continued his journey the other 17 mil s, which he accomplished after a short stoppage, in halt' an hour less than half the time, after going to ble d. Ile pared thr mgh R.adinir on his return shout five , o'clock, and he stoned and halted again at a friend's house at Hare Hatch, where he first felt fatigued. He started front thence to do the remaining 32 miles in eight. hours. Ile lost time in every hoar, and front the badness of the road:, he gave in fifteen tniles from home, ati I having less than three hours to do them in. The match has been attempted by others, but never yet accomplished. '1 he last three boars spoilt the business. CORN-Exceraisca, FEB. 23.—The fresh arrivals of this day are only moderate..

This morning, Mark ;Iced, "Villain Wailfr, Jame* Bruton, and Thomas redier,eonyii ke‘i in Het ember Sc!-- slow+ of Burglary, John 'Janis convicted in the smsee Session, o f stealing- in a dwelling-house, and John Wait convicted also in the same Sess.ous for forgery, under went the awful sentence of the law at the usual place of execution in the Old It siley. As early as six o'clock, the space in front of the Prison wa • crowded to excess, and as the f vat hoar drew nigh. tl:e erowds of pers •ns that were hastening throne!' eve ry avenue which led to the scaffold were greater than we ever remember to have witnessed on a similar on asinn. The tops of the honsea and every window commanding a view of the fatal platform WAS crowded b yond meacere. Great con ni sera•ion preva L d thr teg out the iirmer.-e multitude for the fate of the unfortunate Wait. h great natty persons who had known him at Bristol obtained admission to the Press-ro on, an I appea-ed much grieved at witm ssing hint, who had once may.al in re•pectadie society, about to terminate his existence in ignet&hy Mons of the worst desc:iption. Reid ha.l been long known to thepolice as a mos:desire rice burg tar. an had frequenly sworn that he never would be talc m alive. The officers apprehended him when in bed, or prob ibly he would have added murder to his p•evious too lon ca talogue of crime. He was once before convicted of a capital offence an .l sentenced to be executed, butt ofitaired a respite, and ultimately a pardon. This experience. however, did not operate on him as a warning, for shortly after he joined his old associates, and was the well known leader of the rescue gang which attaelred Marsden the gaoler, and nearly deprived him of life.— Watts, weave Montle I, was the son of a person of that n sme who held a mechanical sittia.ion in the Observa tory at Richmond, which we may suppose was tolerable lucrative, as it enob'ed him to leave at his decease MM. to each of his children, consisting of the twirl ta nate young man who was executed today and 2 daughter% This money lie soon squandered io the company of his depraved associates; aunt the property of his sisters aka who contracted the unfortunate marriages became a sacrifice to dissipation, and they are we are informed, tithe intootea lof Richmond Poorhouse.—Watts was a profassell Burgin. and considered one of the most experienced "Cracksmen" of the day. Huai& bad been a soldier in the 60th regiment of foot and was for some time stationed at Windsor, when a fire broke out at that pleae and had nearly reached the Magazine. The intrepedity of Kiwis en that occasion which saved the Magazine and probably the whole town from destruction, obtained for him the friendship of Col. de Burgh, who shortly after procured his discharge from the mgt., and took hint into his service ; when he availed himself of the first opportunity to lob him to a very considerabld amount. Fuller and Brown, were also well known to the police a exterienced thieve. When toe warrant arrived which announced to the unfortunate men the period fixed fir their execution, the mournful intelligence was received, by Wait, with pions resignation, and lie exclaimed. God's.will be done The others assumed an air of careless indifference, and endeavoured to keep up each others spirits by an appear ance of cheerfulness. Tide, however, soon forso..k th-nt and was suecee led by a depression of spirits which led them to reflect on their awful situation, ad i ultimately produced feelings of proper submission to their fate, and relianoe on divine mercy for their past enormities. At eight o'clock they entered the pre.s room with a firm step and great composure, and assisted the officer in relieving themselves of the irons.Wait,whea the officer was tying hie hands, turned his eyes towarla Heaven, and with a deep sigh exclaimed, " Lord! Lord! receive my anal." The procession then moved towards the scaffold. and on reaching the third station of the pa wn the solemn tolling of the bell announced t • the as sembled multitude the approach of the wretched men. Wait was attended to the scaffold by a Dissenting Minis ter, to whom he pill great attention. The Reverend Ordinary, and Mr. Baker, were unremitting in their at tentions to the other prisoners, who behaved with gre-4 propriety, and expressed themselves grateful for the hind ness which had been shewn to them by the Reve•etai Gentlemen. At a tra , ter p tat eight the fatal signal was given, the drop d 11, and the anforunate Melt were launched into eternity. AFFLICTING SCICIDE.—A short time since Mr. Smit"., an eminent grocer in the High•street, Ilorouih, mmt young watt named Lee, a near relation to the bankinr h•ume of Sir John Pinhorn, to depo.it there the sum of 501. bat the youth absconded with the money, awl ;it though every effort Witg made by his friends amt who. employed the police, and disseminated hand-bilk off. ring a large reward for his recovery, no tiding.; cold be had of him till la.t week, when Sir John PinMra ve ceived a letter with the btuker's book, which he t iin his possession, stating that the young gentleman who hail that book, and who went by the name of Smith, shot himself that morning at the Woolpack Inn, Iskate stone. Since the deceased arrived at the Inn, he ducted himself in a very Penurious manner, excent apes be went to eert.On sporting plaice, when he hired a chaise ; he wa..: particularly sober, and of a most amiaLll disposition. It is said, that on the day be cournitteal the rash act, he begged of his busiess to permit a forta so teller who was passing by to go with hint into his row to this she objected, but afterwards consented to his see ing her in the back-parlour. She was tieard he must either cross the ti ater or tile.' When she ileoartiA its sbook hands with the hostess, gave her a ;luta pre--' sinst, requesting her to keep in tenientbratice him, and gave other small presents to other members of tie -family.
