He how ever did not deprecate th- disminsion which had taken place upon the question, for as he was one of those who entertained strong doubts of the truth of the principle that the plague was contagious, be did not think that, inasmuch as it had very important conse. *senses oh the commerce of the country, the facts on which that principle was founded ought to be fully investigated, and a correct opinion on the subject, if possible, should be arrived at. There was therefore no impropriety in discussing the subject, and of all the places where that could be carried on. he thought the House of Commons the best. But beat the same time highly disapproved of the reports which had been circulated ; and if the declaration which bad been made to-night, disavowing It to be the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to act w those reports represented they were about to do ; if, he would repeat, such a declaration had been made at the first, then the evil consequences which had ensued at the pore; of France and Indy would not have taken place. The Right Honourabk Gentleman (Slr. C. Grant) had stated, that it was the intention of Government to send inspectors to the different ports, to see that the Quarantine Laws were properly complied with.. Now, as this was not a quertion depending on medical opi nion alone, but on facts which any individual was competent to know and observoupoa, he thought that the persons to be appointed should not be subject to any inioence from a medical n.an • for whatever opinion that individual might entertain upon the subject, he apprehended there would he an undue influence exercised by him on the minds of the other persons with whom he was acting. lie thought, indeed, there would be great danger in having any one medical man to influence the Boerd of Trade qo a subj ect so important to the commercial intonate of the country, and upon which other individuals were mueb less lfhtly to be prejodieed. Mr. HU3KISSON said, that if the Hon. Gentleman would con. elder seriously the wildcat, he (Mr. Huskisson) thought it would s appear e to him that it was the moat advleable course which the of TrICIO could take on • question of this kind, to ascertain' the opinions of those individuals Who had been into various parts of the world where the plague bad rased - and who hail had opportu. aides of witnessing these contagioar ' diseases, as they were called, operating in all their degrees of malignity, respecting Its nature, sod the bast =Me to resist its osemetudeation. It waa not en un ensemble motion op the part of *milord of Trade took this, and to consider that such persons sitolibie allowed to risk the ports of the country (Mtn tune to time, SONO dot the orders in Codocil and the regulations to be made by the Legislature respecting quaran tine were property obsetved. His tele is regard to this important question had been generally to act on the safe side. (hear, hear,) and to presume that the plague was susceptible of being communicated by =Legion, and that this contagious property was capable of being conveyed from foreign countries in eliffereat 'articles of mer chandise, after a long time had elapsed. Tne lion. Gentleman (Mr. Hume) asked why his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Canning) had not made the declaration, which he had done this night, when the question wax first introduced ? He would answer that question by saying, that his Right lion. Friend did declare the intention of his MajestS j s Government on the commencement of the discussion of the eat 'ect this House lie said that no regulation would be enforc that wino beyond what should be recommended by the Committee on Foreign Trade. It was not his Right Hon. Fnend's fault, that persons out of doors should misrepresent the re mit of the investigation of that Committee. He had himself read various loose assertions as to the intentioes of his Majesty's Minis. tws which had led to very great evils, and had seriously affected the trade of this country. Parties who were interested in defeating the object of the British merchant. had takea advantage of these louse and unfounded rumours to prevent the British merchant from entering foreign ports. Persons ought not, upon such vague and runimus. to make assertions that in foreign countries were cal culated to work very serious mischiefs to the trade of England. He bad read iiensething about a ship being placed at quarantine for an Unreasonable time at Vera Cruz, on some such rumour as these, ' when it appeared there was not a single man on board affected. He denied that the Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. C. Gram) had arty intention, by the introduction of this Bill. to less-n the security afforded to the public by the Quarantine Laws. The malo object of this Bill, after all, was to relieve commerce from the expenses attending the complying with the Laws of Quarantine, and to throw it upon the public, for whose benefit those lows were adopted. Mr. DENMAN said that hr felt himself incompetent to offer an opinion upon the prevent subject, but he wished merely to mention that he had had an otunity of perui some papers written by ppor Dr. Bailey, its which that celebrated indivi ng dual stated it would, In his judgment, be unsafe to do away with the Quarantine Laws.— (Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. C. GRANT, the Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. PEEL gave notice of a motion which he should make on Tueedey next, for leave to bring oe a Bill to regulate the law re lating to the suing out tr-.. writs in the Courts of Law. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. - - • The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. HARBOUR OF LYME REGIS. Mr. BERRIES attoed that the sum of 32,0001. should be grant ed, to enable his Majesty to repair the damage which had bees done to the Cobb at the port of Lyme Regis, by the late severe gales. This sum was proposed for a public and national work, and DIM that was essential to the safety of vessels on that coast. This grant wee intended to be in aid of 6,000/. which was partly in hand, and partly_ to be railed on the credit of th e pore tolls. Mr. BU3IE said, his objecton is this vote was, that it was not for the purpose of benefiting a national object. The harbnu rat Lyme Regis was not able to receive • ship much above 100 tons burthen, and the number vessels that put in there was so incon siderable, that it could not be considered an harbour of any great public utility. Besides, the Committee would be astorished to be inrormed that, up to the present moment, no less a sum than 106,0601. had been paid towards the repairing of this harbour. He did not mean to say that he would not vote foe the grant, but be would say that there was nothing before them to show that this vote was likely to do more good than what had been done already by the former grants; and therefore, without better information, he thought the grant should not be made. The harbour of Lyme was a petty, insignificant place, and could not give the least shelter to sbips of trade ; if it could there would then be some excuse for granting the so Land's E Bes i d es ,d o n i t , li h i i s o i l vx e rl p ie u is a n ic ly n hz c b y ou w r as fro r rn utihreed:floemcoesz not perceive why . this partiality should exist. In 832 the number of tons of shipping which entered that harbour was 22,000. There were 36 vessels only above 100 tans burthen, and all the others coo risted of small vessels and craft that might be almost run on the beach. In ordtr, however, to make it appear that a great quantity of &hipping entered the port, the returos contained an account of vessels so small as 10, 12, and 13 tons burden. Ile knew it was the opinion of severe' naval men with whom he had conversed on the sukject, t!ist it was a complete waste of money to maintain this Coble and that it was a complete job to serve private purposes. If the Committee should accede to this grant, there was no baying un der what circumstances port might not make such a claim. He was anxious that the whole question should be submitted to a Committee, and if It were regular he would propose that there simuld he an Address to his Mejtsty to appoint &Committee of In quiry, tor the purpose of ascertataing whether the harbour was of such a nature as to justify its being maintaiaed and upheld at des public expense. He thought that this proposition was both tale, an' reasonable, ar.d might to be acceded to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished to say a few words on the Subject, because it appeared to him that the lion. Gentleman laboured under a mistake. lie said that if any good public object was to be attained by the grant, he amid vote for H. lint that he thought the harbour of Lyme Regis Illefeed MD public utility. lie (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) thought She Hen. Gentleman had not considered the cireamstancee of that den. This harbout was, in fact, the only one which afforded shelter se swede whet overtaken by certain winds-peculiar to the widow tint. Vessels were often exposed to great danger in ouneeinspuseif Wee semi-eireular form of the coast, near the harbor git ta m and that was the only harbour into which they, could pi he iseher. It appeared by the returns, that no less than twenty-fivel NMI& sought refuge last year in that harbour, and that if these had not been such an harbour they would, in consequence of the peuthem wind, have gone on a lee 'here, and most probably have perished and although the vessels were small, yet they contained ninny persons connected with Lyme, and he thought the lives of individuals were as valuable at that plat. as at any other. (Hear, hear.) He thought, therefore, there were g od pounds for supporting the grant, lie would lay no stress upon thetrade of the port, for if the place ob. tined &benefit from its trade it was reasonable that it ithoeld maintain its own port ; but the vessels which took shelter there did not belong to the port, and therefore it ought to be considered a question of public utility to support the harbour. But in point of fact there was at toll paid by the vessels that went into the place which yielded SOW. a year, and as far as it went it was applicable to the mainten ance of the port, and those who superintended its application pur posed to raise 6,000/. upon the credit of these tolls, to be applied towards the expense of repairing the breath in the Cobb. The Hon. Gentleman wished i n th e first place to have a Committee ap pointed. He begged to inform the lion. Gentleman that the place tad been seen by the engineers belonging to the Ordnance, who were sufficiently competent to speak upon the subject, apd that the reparations were considered by them to be net:nary. If the breach should not be repaired the whole of the pier would be .indered useless. Much damage bad already ensued in emir '. tence of • the breach, and unless it were repaired there wall -AND to apprehend that seen the houses would be seriously in. cored by the sea breaking through. I u its way, although not putting the Cobb upon the same footing of the breakwater at Ply mouth, he thought great use might be made of this harbour, and that it was • proper thing to be maintained at the public expense. Mr. A. BARING ui d . that when the subject was mentioned in he Committee on the Western Canal Bill, the idea of spending *.ie public money on such • work was laughed at. If the Chan. lerof the Exchequer had been present to have heard the evidence ; , yen before that Committee, he was sure the Right HOC. Gentleman .euld not have voted another sixpence for this work. It was one ehiet no expense whatever would make good. There might, how sver, be made a very capital harbour at Beere, which would do may the neeessaity of one at Lyme Regis. The Right HOD. linttleman must be very much pressed by the Noble Patron of the leder plate, if he should, after learning the nature of the evidence theu well acquainted with the harbour, be induced to spend temker sixpence about it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be was not lb unaware of the plans of the ',roomed ship canal as the lion. ( *uteri= (Mr. A. Baring) seemed to think. But the BM to 'Mich the Hoe. Gentleman had alluded mitthenever pass, eel ids; it he were to do as the Hon. Gentleman suggestrel, there weiddiene 'many harbour either at Beer, or at Lyme, toe unless the eselefilie Wes were soon made that harbour would be destroyed. Al HER NALL considered the proposition of the Hots. Gentle. * man (Mr. Hume) the best that could be adopted. He also thought an harbour at Reeve soul I be of great public service. Sir ISAAC COFFIN thought neither place to be fit for an har bour. Mr. BERRIES, in reply, observed, that the whole sum which had been expended about the harbour of Lyme was 67,0001., and not 106,0001. as stated by the Hon. Member for Montrose. Mr. HUME observed, that admitting it to be 67.0001. yet that was too much to throw away, and they were now called upon to vote 13,0001. more without any reasonable evidence before them of its being necessary. An lionnurable MEMBER, whose name we could not hem observed, that an Hun. Friend of his, who was now a Maim of the House, had many yea r s ago b een over t a k e n by e s t orm of the western coast, and had b. not been able to obtain shelter in thdl, harbour, of Lyme, be would mat probably have been driven to sea and perished. Mr. COOPER YOU to confirm the statement of his Hon. Friend. Many years ago he was sailing on the western coast when a gale came on, ind had it not been for the port of Lyrae he should not have had the honour of addressing them now. He should moat , conscientiously vote for any sum proposed for the repairing of this harbour, as its existence had been the sole moans altering him and hie. Mr. HUME then proposed tolenove a Resolution, u an amend ment to the one moved by Mr. Hernia The CHANCELLOR orate EXCHEQUER thought it would be quite unprecedented and contrary to usage to move such a Reso , talon as that of the Hon. Member (Mr. Hume) in a Coniunittee of Su r l y' r. HUdIE said be did not think that there was any irteguludy in moving such a Resolution. He would endeavour to effect his object by a motion, and would for the present move as as amend ment, " That the Chairman report progress, and obtain leave to sit again." The House then divided-- For the Amendment . - 15 Against it - 66 Majority - —SI The original Resolution was then agreed to. The next Resolution was a rate of YAWN. to indemnify Ame rica for the capture of certain dues datiag the war, and to defray other charges slue, according to contract, from this country to America. Mr. STERNAL, on our retain to the gallery, requested to know from the /tight Hon. Secretary (Mr. Canning) what had become of, or what was to be done relative to, the slaves to whom this vote ererred Mr. CANNING replied that this vote was drawn up pursuant to the terms of the Treaty of Ghent. In the adjustment of the affairs after the war between this country and America, a difference arose, which difference was submitted for adjustment to a third Power ; that Power was Russia. She decided against this country and in favour of America, and the sum now proposed was to satisfy these claims. As to thequestion what had become of the slaves, that was a consideration into which Government could nut enter, nor could the captors he made accountable for them. The demand on this country was one of pecuniary compensation, and as it was a matter of contract it ought to be satisfied.. The Resolution was then agreed to. The Report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. MAURITIUS TRADE BILL. Mr. W. HORTON moved the second reeling of the Mauritins Trade Bill. , . dlr. BERNAL objected to this Bill, as it proposed to place the Isle of Mauritius on the same footing with our Wes, India Colo nies. This was a proposition to which lie was the more unwilling to accede, as, up to the year 1021, slaves were illegally imported into the Isle of France; at a lane too, it should be remembered, when our plantations in the 'West Indies were cultivated by Creole slaves. 'I here was besides a greater facility afforded for the impor: tad= of slaves into this island by a few rocky islands on the east aide of it. He alluded particularly to the Secheyelles, , where an armed feud iris continually obliged to cruise, even to this day, to prevent the illegal im l iortation of which he complained. The in. habitant's of the Isle of Mauritius first merely sought to be admit. ted to the benefits of the East India Charter; but after they had enjoyed 'the privilege of a tree port fou: or lire years, they turned round and sought to be placed on the same footing with our West India Colonies. In the Bill before the House, it appeared that sugar from China, or freniany other country, might be brought to the Mauritius, and re-exporte d thence as the produce of that island. Mr. W. HORTON intimated that the oversight suggested by the Hon. Member had been provided against. Mr. BERNAL resumed, and expressed his satisfaction that it had been so provided against, as, according to the Bill in its present . shape such a traffic might take place. ('so, no.) Ile would coo clude'by opposing the Bill, because sufficient reason had not been stated for withdrawing this island from the East India which it originally enjoyed; and secondly, because it afforded tides for the importation of slaves, from which our West India Colonies s'ere c rohibited. 4 Mr. W. fleiliToltlTtaid that the principle on which this Bill was founded was, that the Island of the Mauritius should be placed so the same fooling as the other Colonies of Great Britain. The Obstasetien of that island with this country, under the East India Clatter, west s matter of accident, and was by no means intended ho permanent. Besides, the nature of the produce of tbeiliond was better understood now than it was at that time. It =taew, that from the hurricanes that occurred these, and ee souses, sugar was the only species of produce that was *tellable and profitable in that island. As to the importation of slaves into the Mauritius, he denied that such an importation existed, or the facility for their admission to the extent stated by the Honourable Member. There need not be any great apprehen iioll on the part of the 'West Indies, as the supply from the Mau- *ns bore so small a proportion to the produce of the West India ' Islands, that the competition would be inconsiderable. He it ould sapper' the Bill, en the principle that this island was entitled, squally with any other of our Colonies importing 'sugar, to the advantages of our Colonial system of policy. Mr. C. R. ELLIS was of opinion that as no case for altering the present system adopted towards the Mauritius had been made ou t the present regulauons relative to the trade in that colony should continue as they now were. He then read extracts from a petition which he held in his hand, and whi9h had been addressed to the Prince Regent, stating the evils which had existed in the lsle of France previous to the time when his Majesty's standard had been hoisted there. He then went on to notice the support which the island of the Mauritius derived from agriculture, adding, %Muff the statements published on the subject were true, they were con,. elusive against the colcnial regulations of this country. In every one of the Reports of the African Institution, from the year 1809 to the year 1820, it appeared that the Slave Trade had been carried •on most extensively in that colony, and that a the inhabitants entered actively into the traffic. In 18011, Sally hundred slaves had been imported from 31adagastme, and the Europeans, so far from siding in its suppression, weal forward to advance it. Much had been done to put down that trade, and much of the success which had ensued was owing to du exertions of Sir Robert Farquhar. This had chiefly been effected by treaties with several c the neighbouring Princes, amongst whom were the Prince of Madagascar aid the Imaum of Muskat. He would particularly direct the attention of the House to the moral effect which the Bill before them would probably have upon the condition of the West India colonies. His strong feel ing was that they owed it to their own character, as well as to that of the West India colonies, not to peas the Bill. Mr. HUSILISSON wished the House to consider whether it would not be equitable to give the Mauritius the same commercial advantages enjoyed by the West India Colonies. There would be obvious injustice in placing those Colonies on the same footing as to duties, and yet to place the Mauritius on a mere favourable footing in other respects than the West India Colonies. On these grounds he wished to ascertain what the opinion of the people and the real feelings in the Mauritian were, at the same time that he fully reserved to himself the right of exercising his own judgment after wards ; and his opinion was, that it would be not only unwise and impolitic, but unjust, to deprive the one Colony of free trade, for the sake of establishing a principle of equality in the duties paid in both. He thought that the House ought to try to place the West Indies on the same footing, without having recourse to such an im perfect and unstatesmanlike expedient. A Bill had been reported to the !loose that evening, which wtut to put the West India Coionies on the same footing as regarded Feedom of trade that the other parts of the world stood, and they therefore would have no ground of complaint es regarded res:tictions upon their own commerce, and consequently none of any freedom which might in that respect be granted to the Mauritius. As far as the argument went of inconvenience to the West Indies, it amounted merely to saytag, that they suffered in their relative situation with the Mauritius. Then he would prefer to equalive their conditions, not by laying additional impositions on one, hot by relieving the other—rather by removing existing weight than by siiperadding additional burdens. It had been stated that the Colony, await caine into the hands of Great Britain, hid carried on an illicit trade in slaves. Ills Hon. Friend bad stated that before the year 1820, and that during that penod it could not have produced so much had it not been for that traffic. He did not deny that occasionally, in some instances, the trade might have been carried on ; but be was sure his Hon. Friend and the House would do him the ju‘r:ce to believe, that supposing it to have been so carried on. it was not with the consent or concurrence, or countenance of those who would feel it their first duty to have prevented it. (Hear.) Ile would, however, then say, that that traffic had ceased to obtain its improper supplies. The rule, he thought, should apply generally. which went to establish as an admitted principle that higher duties ought to be paid by a colony having slaves, whose inhabitants did not conform to certain rules laid down for those on whom lighter duties had been imposed. He saw no reason why such a rule should be made to apply parti cularly to the Mauritius, and not generally to all the colonies. His Honourable Friend appeared afraid of the moral effect which the Bill might have upon the people of the West India Colonies, but this lie thought altogether visionary. It should not be lost sight of that the Mauritius, like other of our Colonies, was subject to frequent hurricanes and other accidental causes, which deteriorated its produce; for these reasons nue West India Colonies would have little reason to be jealous of any supposed advantages that island might have over them in the small supply of sugar it might be able to yield. If he cnndned hiniself to his own showing—if lie did not go beyond his own little proclamation, be would see that there was no reason to dread that inundation of sugar of which lie seemed in such apprehension. In every view which he could take of the cir. cumstances, he hesitated not to express his conviction that prohi. bition would drive the inhabitants of that colony to despair, suffer ing as they did, by nature, and from other untoward circumstances. The Wand was held foe great political purposes, and why deny it the same advantages enjoyed by ether places 1 It was near a Preach stilton of much importance, and it would be unwise and unstatesmanlike to expose it so isry or bard. As to the Sit/04100 of the slaves in that Coy, he could thy, how all that he had learned, that they were much better off THE BRITISH PRESS. • than in other Colonial, whets the proprietors did not reside, and that in consequence of the residenee of the proprietors they expe rienced more indulgence thin those in the West Indies, it being of come unquestionable that those who had the care of them felt • ' trinterest in their welfare sod comfort, then could be the case ialoi whom proprietors were absontees. 'fits whole question was it be considered as one of West India interest, and thus it stood—dot whereas ten or twelve thousand linasheads of sugar would abhor rime into this comm . , ee le generally into the Flu-.

The contrast of such prosperity with the de lia of the Mauritius, must recite discontent and Merada In the minds of those colonists. The Mauritius was inch's singular slums tion. to •be thus sacrificed to E and Indian Policy's aver g iz because it was • few degrees east eft Geed He's ta si tuation • but that was only a visionary bowadary. We bad Doe only Bourbon upon one side, hut Java on the other of this settle ment, and boat were encouraged by European powers, while we continued to deny all assistance and advantages to the Alm rides. What, he would ask, would be the consequence of this 000 duct upon the affections and feelings of the colony, were any circumstances to arise of a hostile character in that part of the world ? France protected the resources of Bourbon— the Netherlands those of Java.; Were we to adopt • different policy in regard to a settlement so important as the :ilea. titian ? What would be the effect if hereafter any anti-English power were to arise in that quarter of the globe, when the feelings and affections of the inhabitants are thus altenated from us ? It was a most important colony from its situation ; this might be ex emplified by its having at one period been made the means of shaking our power in India. It had in fact captured Madras when and gr the influence of the French. Under our own influence it had mainly contributed to the success of this country in the Nepaul war, having sent 1,200 men to oar assistance on that occasion, and we knew not but • similar force would now be put in requisition towards the conquest of the Ban. mere.

All the privateer* through which the slave trade had been carried on were captured, so that it was at an end. The inhabitants of the Maurine' had been for many years led to believe the traffic in slaves as most virtuous • th of it, therefore, cone ea them like I COP WOnfitler. / Tere was every likelihood that the slave trade wasfor eta extinct is that coon. try, for at Madagascar, where the Bedtime was in power,the treaties were most religiously . observed, and when some other chief became refractory they were immediately put down. Mocambique was now the only blot on the whole east coast. There existed in the mountains the kindest feeling towards the slaves, and a }.olio was established them, which, • ith its various ramificatioas throughout th e country. was in daily correspondence with the Government, Ind com municated the most trivial acts of oppression towards the slave popu. lation. A great mistake arose fronrconfounding the alauritius with the Isle of Bourbon ; and indeed, wherever the slave trade existed it was found to be encouraged by the French. It seemed that these was ' no alteration in the population of the Mauritius since the conquest. At the conquest it contained 80,000 inhabitants; the number woe the same when the census was taken in 1815; according to the te, turns in 1819. the number was 73,000. It appeared that 7,000 had been taken off by the cholera morbu•. The returns for the year 1821 were lost in the George the Fourth ; and from the last retard it appeared that the population was exactly the same as at the conquest, making an allowance for those removed by cholera morbus, from which it was evident that the Mauritius could keep its population without the introduction of others, a circnmstanoe mainly to be attributed to the salubrity of the country. as well as to the great attention paid to the slaves. Mr. R. GORDON hoped the introduction of the present memo would be delayed until the West India Colonies were prepared for the removal of the restrictions. Ile ("egged the Right Hon. Gentleman would postponer the operation of the Bill until 18213, otherwise he (Mr. Gordon) should oppose it. Mr. PLU3ISIER opposed the Bill, and moved as an amend ment that it be read a second time that day six month,. Mr. fliratE thought the Bill ought to pass, and that at the same time ell restrictions should be taken off the West India trade. He I was an advocate for the removal of ell those shackle% imposed on Welt India produce, It was but justice and good policy that all poke anr steam be afforded to our colonies. 1 Ne. W.

Looking at the importance of these islands, the necrawity of conciliating their affection-, and the propriety of giving no cause for any . revival of those French attachments which scented now nearly extinguished, he felt himself bound to give his support to the Bill. Mr. TRAN'T would not oppose the Bi ll , bat he gave the Right Honourable Gentleman notice that be would next year expect the same indulgence for East India Sugars, a concession which he helped the Right Hon.

'LONDON, SATURDAY, JONE 4, 1893. The coronation of CHARLES X. still engrosses the at tention of the French journalists. The Paris Papers received yesterday give long accoants of the proceedings at Rheims on Tuesday. They also contain some further par ticulars of the danger to which the KING was exposed by the panic that seized the horses of his carriage. Our letters from Paris state that great preparations are making there for the procession of the Fete-Diets to-morrow, and the KING'B grand entrance on Monday. The quay from Notre Dame to the Tuileries, and all the public establishments, will be splendidly illuminated. The Quotidienne contains a letter from M. de la BEA.. GERIE, Sub-Prefect of Nerac, contradicting, in every par ticular, the statements of the Constant/o*nel of the 15th and lath of May, relative to the dispute concerning the property of a church now in possession of the Protestants, from which they were stated to hake been expelled under Icircumstances of pemliar aggravation. This letter is cor roborated by another from the President of the rrotestant Consistory at Nerac. The arrival of the Spanish General, LA SENNA, at Bor deaux, is announced in the following paragraph : .[From the Quotidkrtne of Wedlleliday.) PARIS, MAT 31.

Their cootents are of little interest. The winter appears to have been excessively rigorous in the Southern parts of the Russian empire. A great loss of sheep and cattle was expected. The mention of an Envoy from-the British Government in the letter from Alexan dria is clearly a mistake. It is intended, we believe, to form an Association for the junction of the Red Sea with the Mediterranean: it must be an agent from this Com pany to whose arrival allusion is made.

The Viceroy has sold in ashore time Mischa cotton to the amount of twelve millions of talaris. There are so many merchants from all quarters now here, that there is want of accommodation. A ro im costs front 880 to 1,000 talaris. The goods imported lose 25 per cent., the market, being overstocked, and even at that rate it is difficult to:sell them.

It is quite satisfactory, and appears to be in every respect entitled to credit. It puts an end to the doubts and apprehenslous that have been spread with each mischievous and dis graceful zeal as to the state of Greek affairs. The parties who are here ao forward to lend themselves to the service of the Turks, would probably, if they were under their dominion, meet with no better reward then the infamous renegades whose hands and ears Isr.snrw PAcHA has amused himself with cutting off, in revenge for his want of success in his invasion of the Mores.. The Greeks have behaved with consummate courage. There seems to be no symptoms of dissension amongst them; and, as far as the campaign has gone, it pre ages us glorious a result as any that has preceded it. In every engagement the Mahometans have been defeated. In every etuieavour to advance they have been repulsed. Inns nim PAcif Ais shut up in Corot), without any {Prospect of succour.

The Greek fleets are at sea, and we may hit sure that in this crisis of their country's fate, they will support their illustrious renown. /a The Unitarian Dissenters' Marriage Bill was rejected last night by the House of Lords on the second reading. It is no doubt desirable that the conscientious scruples of Dias senters should be regarded, and wherever it may be con sistent with the maintenance andoafety of the Established Church, relief should be given to those who seek it in sin cerity. But when it is proposed to confer upon the Uni tarians the privilege of celebrating marriage in their own chapels, in deference to the objections they feel to some passages In the church service • we must not forget that the same argument may be used with equal force on behalf of every other sect now in existence, or that may hereafter arise, undee the pretence of being a Christian association, • The Freethinkers, or Freetalkers, as the Bishop of CH sir E appropriately called them, would demand a lioenee for their Sunday debating room ; and fresh Societies, styling themselves Christian in order to cloak their object, would, rise every month with a new-fangled creed, or, as we have already seen, with no creed at all. This is the difficulty, ' There is no analogy between the case of the Jewa and that of the Unitarians. The former are avowedly hostile to Christianity ; they could not without manifest injustice be required to submit to a Christian ceremony. It is quite otherwise with a sect professing to be Christian. The Quakers also are a peculiar people. It is unquestionably .right that they should continue to enjoy the privileges they possess unimpaired ; but we apprehend that it is not pro. bable that any other sect will speedily be favoured to the like extent. A capital defect in the Bill was the want of sufficient precautions againq clandestine marriages. N'o general inference can be drawn from the conduct of the Quakers ; they are in fact a close and wealthy corporation, with no desire whatever to proselytise ; their faith is strictly defined, and their customs separate them wide'y from the rest of the community. But who shall discrie minste the patties properly entitled to be considers " Protestant Dissenters, commonly called Unitarians ?" No doubt can exist for a moment as to the fact whether a person belongs to the Society of Friends or Quakers. They take especial care to " disown" the unworthy. No mis chief can accrue from she power that Lis Len eranted to them. But , it is not so clear that mischief might not accrue front the extension of that power to a numerous, undefined, and very different class of persons. In the House of Commons, Mr. Baoi.o Kam gave notice of his intention on Monday to withdraw the London Col lege Bill, in order to introduce it again as at private Acts The Hon. and Learned Gentleman explained the nature • and objects of the proposed Institution.
