At two &clock the Prince Regent entered in the usual state, and tool: his seat on die !lime, and Sir T. l'stwhitt. Gentleman fisher of the Black Rod, was directed to require the attendance of the House of Commons. liv a few minutes the Speaker, attended by a great nuntser of the Members of the House of Commons, app:ared at the.

He commenced by stating, that his Nlkestv's faithful Commons Lad attended during the Session to the duties usually imposed on them, and many difEcidt subjects which remained for discus sion last Session lual been brought regularly under co.rsideration. The most beneficial measures were, however, tho,e which had grown out of the present state of the country. At an early pm iod of tlic SettSilbtl, examination was made into the exchange between Great Britain and Foreign Countriui, witn a view to a -amen to the old standard current,.

The royal ascent was ittnnediately given to the .kppmprietion Bill, the Churches' Building Amendment Bat, and several pri vale Bills. Ills Royal Iliglineas the Prince Regent then delivered the fol lowing speech %. My Lords and Gentlemen, " It is with great regret that I am again obliged to announce to you the continuance of his Nlkiesty's lamented ind•yxe.ition. •• I cannot dose this Session of Parliament without expressing the satisfaction that I have derived from the zeal art assiduity with which you have applied yourseh:es to the several important objects which have conic mile: sour consideration. •• Your patient and laborious investigation of the state of the circulation ar.d currency of the kingdom demands my wannest acknowledgments; and I entertain a confident expectation that the meastuts adopted. as the result of this inquiry, will be pro. ductive of the must beneficial consequence... •• Gentlemen of t'w. Ilousetf CWIOIIOIII. '• 1 thank you for the supplies which you hare graraed fur the service of the present year. •• I sincerely regret that the necessity should ' . ave existed of making any addition to the burdens of the people; but I antici• pate the most important permanent advantages from the effort which you hate thus mr.de fur meeting at once all the firaincial difficulties of the country ; and derive much satisfaction from the belief, that the means winch you have detised fur this purpose are calculated to press as lightly on all classes of the community es could be expected when so great ar. effort was to be made. dbi Lards cmi Gentlemen. "1 con;:nuc to receive from foreign powers the strongest assur ances of thtir fr:eadly disposition towards this country. •• I have observed shit great concern the attempts which have recently been made in some of the manufacturing districts, to take advantage of circumstances of local distress, to excite a 'pint of disaffection to the institutions and Government of the Country. No object can be nearer my heart than to pror.tote the welfare and prosperity of all classes of his Majesty's subjects; but this cannot be effected without the maintenance of public order and tran quillity. •• You may rely, ilmtlore, upon my firm determination to employ for this purpose the powers entrusted to me by law ; and I have no doubt that, on your return to your several counties, you will use your utmost endearonn, in co-opetation with the magis tracy, to defeat the machinations oh' those whose projects, if sue. CEadlll, could only aggravate the evils which it is professed to remedy; and who, under the pretence of reform, have really no ether object but the subversion of our happy constitution." Then the Lord Chancellor, by the Prince Regent's command, said, dfy Lords and Genlicsnen. " It is the will and pleasure of Itiajloyal II iglinets the Prince Itegmt, acting in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, that this Parliament be prorogued to Tuesday the 24th day of August next, to be then here holden, and this Parliament is actsudingly prorogued to Tuesday the 24th day of August HOUSE OF COMMONS.

DOUGLAS wished that the printing of the Report should be piistianied till next Session. on the understanding that early in bitch &vision the Report should be taken into. considera. duo. The CILt9CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it was very un usual to object to the. printing of a Report ; it was unnecessarily iscrediting the proceedings of the Committee; and he a:ought & would be better to withdraw the Amendment. _ . SPAN ?All OurltACE.—..Mr. M. A. TAYLOR asked vhether there was any truth in the statement in the Papers, respecting as extraordinary 'meek of a Spanish frigate on a British Lord CASTLEA EAC II SAKI. that 60112 t fitiilar sti.ternents had reached Gorernment through the Minister at Eedin ; and that representations had in consequence been made to the Court of Madrid.

LHIGRATION.—The Criascrtima of the ExultEttur.tt rose to nibve an Address for the supplying of Government with auditional ratans to etwounige those thsposed to emigrate. The object of Govetninent was to promote emignition to the CApe of Good !lope I because that place presented advantages and facili ties preferable to those of America, ut the British Colonies else where.—The climate presented such great advantages, that, in dependent of what Government would do, bidividucls vreuld in a ihort period find themselves in a comfortable coalition. With the view of trying the experiment he should new only move for 50.000/. . . . . Mr. liuye thought this experiment did not go far cncugh, and that the parishes ought to be requested to join in the scheme. The CHANCELLOR of the ExcitLituan, in explanation, ob served, thist it was a part of the scenic to invite parishes to send out portions of theirsipulation ; but that any thing iii the shape of compulsion wo uldnot be countenanced by Govenauent.— (11ear, hear!) Alderman %Venn said, the waste and uncultivated spots at home presented large means of employing the superabiumlant poor ; at one plate .0„on0 acres remained uncultivated, and at ano:her stone inigl-c he obtained for labour. Mr. HUTCHINSON observed, that the system of deposits was net so complete as it might be. Mr. WILLIAM. would be more pleased if this sum were to In devoted at home. lisiling satisfied that the greatest good would be thereby done. lle felt assured, that occupation of the waste lands would employ the poor to a great extent; and he should peer such engagement of the poor to sending them from home. Address agreed to. Mr. HUILE Enquired whether any further information had been received respecting Sir Thomai liishop's conduct ? Mr. CANNING was undenaood to answer in the negative. The debate on Sir 11. Parnell's Finance Resolutions was then re-umed. • Lord PALMERSTON said. that he felt anxious to say a few words, to explain the regulations adopted respecting half-pay officers holding civil appointments. fhe government stood pledged to make an alteration in the oath taken by half-pay officers, and the Treasury would, with the fair understanding of the House, make an arrangement to give effect to this measure. They were to give half ray °dicers, holding civil appointments, a military allowance equal to and in lieu of their haft pay. and for such allowance no oath was required respecting civil offices. At present the half pay officers swore that they laid nu office civil or military. &c.; the alteration proposal was. that they held no mi litary office, except colonial offices. which were now allowed. a Inch exceeded three times the :ate of half pay. As it had been suggested that it was a hardship to take such an oath, in cases where the other emoluments barely exceeded three tinter the ray, the following arrangement was to be adopted s—The half pay was calculated at the highest rate which it could pozsibly be. and this was to be considered 1-4th of the income which a half pay officer could have. But if his half pay were really less than this sum, he was to be allowed to exceed the 3 dries his half pry, so far as to make up this deficiency. The CHANCELLOR of the Excumaut ft moved, that the dis cussion be ad;:otirned till this day three weeks. This called forth A variety of remarks, in the coure of which ,Mr. Hutchinson remarked, alluding to the Expenditure of the Country, that the detention of Bonaparte cost the nation about 500,000/. a year. This was contradicted by the Ministers, who stated, that, far the first three years, the eapence was only between 3 or 400,0001. and that portions of that sum were paid by the East India Coin puny.. The Ainendin.nt for the Adjournment was then agreed to. Mr. HUME moved the resumption of the debate on tic Sturt ;taper-Gums:rani llepartment, said was proceeding with come extended details, whea Sir .1. MAJOIIINANRI desired that the House should be counted. . 'fhe House was accordingly counted ; and a; there were only 31 Members present, it was declared to stand adjourned till 10- morrow. _ _ TUESDAY. JULY 13 The SPEAKER entered the House soon after one o'clock. At half prat one o'clock, he was enabled to take the chair, shortly after which. the Esher of the slack Rod stomuoned the Howe to attend in the House of Peers.—[See Lord..! There is at present residing at Pinkell Cottage, near Newton • Stewart, the seat of Lieut.-Gen. the lion. Sir William Stewart, Alexander t\l•Creadie, of Sorby, whose corporeal and mental taculues seam but little impaired by the wasting hand of Time, although he is at present in the trXth year of his age. This sin gular specimen of antiquity panelists such a youthrid cheerfulness in conversation, and such a madness of relating the manners and miaow' of the people of Galloway in the early part of his life. as to make him not only an amusing, but likewise a very inrructive' companion. When he was a young inan, about on years ago, he says, •• there was net a spinnir.g wheel to be seen frac the Bri gend d'Dumfties to the braes o' Glenap, nor were the people of Galloway acquainted with dying any other colour than black. which, when mixed with white wool, was made into clothing Ilmaklen grey) for both laird and ladies, and was far afore the twittery wormwabs made now-aalays."—The broad na tiond bonnet was invariably worn by men of every station in this quarter then, except by the Earl of Galloway. and Col. Agnew of Scuchan •• they introduced the thritecs, fashion of wearing hats in this country." Saks were only worn by the lap ;Tr Wen. an' nano o' them had either r.ecksnr Inuthans."—Looking glasses were then so scarce. that •• gin a bonny lama wanted to see her-el, she had, like my Joe Janet. either to keek into the draw. well, a cog fu' o'' water, or a dub at a dykesitle." This curious eininieler was born in the parish of Kitkinner, in the be ginning of Me year 1114, and has always been a labuinktus and Mud-working man. When he was lot rats of age, du:ingthe harvest season, he bound up the grain cut by four able shearers, aid to the present flambe cooks ail his own victuals, casts his own pents, and manages all his own atEars. and can read the stnallert anima of the Psalms of David without the help of spec tarles. He was never out of Galloway except once, and then only for a few days. His present joutncy trom Sorby to Finkel]. Cottage was undertaken at the desire of Sir William Stewart, who would have autseyed him in a carriage. but the old man preferred travelling on toot, and performed rite last nine miles of his journey with great ease in about fodr lours. A boat, or rather a canoe, kO feet long, was last week found by mane workmen, digging in Pinch beek-feti, Lincolnshire, 6 feet behAv the st:rface of the earth, where it must have lain the man centuries. The Grand Jury at the Cheshire Quarter Ses• sions, on Tuesday, found true bills of indictment aeainst Sir Charles Wobiely, bait, and the Rev. Joseph Harrison, of Stockport, for the seditious speeches made by them on OA 2.6 th. ult.at Stye:4W..
