CH ANIBE R OF DEPUTIES. SITTINGS OF THE 44TH OF MARCH. The Members this day went into discussion of the Project of Law, which is to have the effect of opening its the departments books, auxiliary to the great Book of the Public Debt. The object of this measure is to gite persons, in every part of France, an opportunity or vebtiii, ; their proper.y its rents, under cetiain local advaittaes. The Gmeramient, by this law, will obtain loans and become answerable to public creditors in a larger extent than they can be at present. The fortunes of persons will thus be advanced to the Government upon interest, and tin proprietors of stock, as in England, wilt be bound to support the Government. The stock transactions are at present confined to Paris; and it is represented by the Minister, that the negociations in tents, (stock-jobbing transactions) rAtiire a larger space.• The provinces ought to have tke .same facilities and advantages as the capital. The policy of this is evident. M. de Poittet most strenuously opposed the project, Dull contended, that although it ,night bind particular fortunes and persons to support the Government, recent events had pruned it was a fallacious system.—The Loans established by Necker and M. de Calmse, were its all hands. The finances of ancnonuous number of officers, the panituuny of usany families., were all its the cause du tresor. The Clergy themselves were public creditors, yet all disappeared in the Revolution, and the French Monarchy was not protected by the interest of the rentiers.—Millions of assignats, spread to every hand, hastened the fill of the Government.—M. de la Boor denaye alto opposed it. Ooe of his of was, that it wo.:Itl convert the Government into the Bank of France, anti reduce the Monarchy to a republican Aristocracy, of winch bankers and capitalists would be magnificent I ,ords. Time President, before the Chamber rose, announced tiliet th tlis , tiss,oil %%thi'Ll be concluded mu. morrow. • I.r.onoßs, NI A recta Englis4 line of battle ship Roch!Ort, of 84 pins, anchored last week in our Roads.

The Algerine Atnbassador arrived in :town on Slturdny. He was admiral of the fleet at the bom bardment of Algiers. The examinations before the Secret Committee of tlx House of Commons, for inquiry into the state of the Bank, terminated on Fri Jay The importance of the subject, and the extent 4 f the evidence, v ill of course, require much time and deliberation before the report can be presented. The result is ex ; -..eted with much anxiety by all classes in the city of Lon don. In the House of Lords' Committee, the exa viliations are not yet craitloded.

The supplies were not unusually heavy, but no sale could be effected without a eint-iderable 'eduction. The best qualities, however, of all sorts of Corn sold better than n;ferior samples; and the depiessinti of Wheat was less thaw than that of all the other kind, of groin. To the ret•ent com mercial vmharrir.i,ments, and not to at.y fear of a glut iu the mit het, must t ti. te.nparary fall Le &sabred. T -•-•• Y . •• - .

A Dublin paper say!.—" We understand his Royal Highness tke Duke of Susan intends to visit this country in the month of May next. We shall hail the arrival of the Royal Duke with no ordinary sa tisfactiou : the lively interest which his Royal High ness has always felt in ameliorating the condition of the poor Irish residing in London, affords a strong proof of his regard for their native coentry. With the exception of the Duke of Clarence, no Prince of • the Royal blood now living has ever been in Ireland." DREADFUL CALAMITY has seldom fallen to our lot to record :111 accident of a more appalling naure than has occurred a the village of Winterhorne Spoke, - 8 miles from Salisbury—.•llllaccalenLorigintoing in earelessness and thonglathssnes-, and causing the sudden destructim by lireof nn lesstban seven human beings! The the broke out between one and two o'clock on Thursday morning last, in a larf.e house Indongiog is Mr. G. Ka low, which was occupied as two tenements; in one end of the house a shopkeeper and his family resided; in the other t wo families, cons! sting of nine poor persons, wen of whom shocking to relate, were burnt to death. The fire was not discovered till the whole of the latter part of the budding was enveloped iu flames; and it appears that it was occasioned by Mary Aillem (one of the suf ferers) having, previously to poll to bed, placed some ashes near to a bundle of heact, in a buttery not far from the fire-place. The names 41 the unfortunate sufferers were, Christian Adlem, aged 80 years • Mary Adieu), aged 40, and - her daughterl Eliza, aged 3 . years: Jane Target, aged 63; Ann Ibvis, aged 2t, anti her infant daughter Jane, aged 10 months; ant' Elisabeth Wilkins, aged 17 years. James Das is (the husband of Ann Davis) escaped with great difficulty, saving our of his children three years. This poor man in the fright of the nth inenr;leal:ed from the window to the ground; but re collecting ate danger to which his wife and children were exposed, he re-entered the house, and ascended into the chamber ; at that time the women of both epartauefits were running about in an agony of despair: hr caught the eldest child with his left hand, and with his right dragged the mother, clasping her infant to her bosom, down the staircase; but by some means the mo• ther became disengaged front his grasp, and was lost with "er infant in the flames which surrounded them. The wher, bursting through die door which was on fire, again reached the o u tside with his child, but both were dreadfully burnt. The roof at this moment tell in, bury ing in the mass of fire, in addition to the mother and her infant, the four women and the child who remained be hind. The family of the shopkeeper, occupying the other part of the house, and consisting of seven persons, fortunately escaped unin,. The fire then communicated with a barn, stable, granary, and om-houses, the whole of which were consumed, together with about 380 fleeces of wool, and a few sacks of ietches—a loss altogether but trifling, when compared with the saeritice of the dirt s of five women and two children. The Game Laws.—We refer our readers to Mr. Coke's excellent and manly speed' in the House of COMMOhI.I mo the Game Laws. While we see men iu this country sacri ficing their own 1.-potation, their tenants property stud comic"' t, and the liberty and the morals of many of their surrounding dependants, to the pa eservation of their bares and pheasants, wait a liable contrast does the ecndaet of Mr. Coke sthod, in standing forth the champion of jte lice and humanity. It is high aims that a cont,dcte revision should take place of these sanguinary law Not only have they been proved to be completely Mei ctital to re. strain poaching, but they have contributed to engendet habits of idleness and theft, and almost eve y species of crime. Alen who would once has e shronl. fount theft, have been led on to the commission of yr t :Motion! crimes. by Mid becoming poachers. We have some &mitts whether Mr. Snakes' Bill will sufficiently reach the root of the evil, but that a perseverance in the present spirit and practice of the GalllC LAW, is pregnant with mod' evil sod no good, is a conclusion fully watrauted by hot inanity and experiener.
