Fe maintained that they were too ['ibises defend themselves: every colony was to be considered as part of a system necessary to the honour zed glory of the Empire. ►le then addressed himself to the objection of maintaining the Knights of Malta. These Knights were paid by the Governmeet of Malts. He meld state that no (dicer was appointed to a sheath's with out security. He saw no reason to suppose that when the resources of Canada should be brought into full operation, she would not be able to defend himself against Am-ries. Mr. AR IirTIINOT denied that his Right Honour able Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) bad stated that no further reductions would take place, be cause reductions were in contemplation, which would be developed next year. He thought the imputation of delay in bringing forward these Estimates, brought against him by the I lononrsble Demitasse. was unjust. He could say that every order night be was in expecta tion of bring able to open the Estimates,and had brought his box so often to the House with a view to vote the Estimates, that he should not be surprised if the box should have at last found its way there without him. Col. DA VIES contended that a system of jobbing to a gross degree prevailed in the Colonial appointments cadet eiseetassrat. Sir R. WILSON mold bear witness to the ineSciency of the Militia in the lonian Islands. He condemned the coednet of Colonel Roos in imprisoning Mr. Rowel for having in his p o ion a petition to be sent to the King. Mr. OOULBURX defended the administration of Sir T. Maitland, and stated his readiness to meet any charge that might be brought against that officer. Mr. BENNET said he bad no doubt that the A cans laughed at our defensive preparations, and he eta. riser] that we should follow their example with regard to that frontier, and place no watchmen there at ali. All these works %outd gn to the. Americans in the end,' and even if it were possible to prevent their obtaining possession of Canada, the place was not worth the firing (done shot to prevent it. Mr. tiOULIICIIN protested against the doctrine of the Hon. Gentleman, that hi+ Majesty's subjects, let them reside where they will, are not entitled to the protection Of the Government. Mr. Hi:3K ISSON opposed the motion. The lion. Mentber for Aberdeen could gain nothing by his motion. Freer the sum cf 70%000/. proposed to be voted, he was lot sure one farthing would he applied to defray the ex pose of Colonial Acency. If the liononrahle Member believed that the inlonies would he benefitted by the abolition of colonial agents, he was much mistaken. These offices were really useful, and could not be dis pensed with. Mr. 'l'. COURTENAY rose to make a few observa tions in answer to the statement made by the Honour. able Member for Shrewsbury, who had said that the office be held in Ceylon was an office without duty. The statement was wholly unfounded, and he might tell the lion. Member that in the whole course of his Parliament ary life be never made a greater mistake. Hie duty was performed as agent to the Government of the Cape, and certainly he was obliged to devote his time to the busi nen and interests of the Colony. . Mr. T. WILSON considered Colonial Agents °ems eery to carry on the /mimes of the Colonies in Eng land. Mr. W. SMITH conteoded that the Rorenue of Qty . let sad dehee Colombia -engirt to asinif the expense of Agency. - Mr. HUSKISSON explained. Mr. GRANT opposed the Amendment. Mr. BROUGHAM was satisfied the Right Hon. Gen tleman and others acting as Agents, were worth the mo ney they received. They were persons standing in the situation of friends at Court, who were to use their in terest with his Majesty's Government, for the advantage of the Colonies. Mr. HUME replied. The Committee then divided, For the Amendment, 55—Against it, B.l—Majority,27. The E.:Ornate was consequently agreed to. On our admission to the gallery, we found Mr. AR BUTHNOT proposing that a sum of 200,000/. be grant ed to defray the contingent expenses of the Civil List, 'but at the suggestion of Mr. G. BENNET it was post poned, as it was likely to create a discussion which it wax too late to enter upon. A sem of 19,000/. was proposed to defray the Pensions of the Toolonese and Corsican emigrants, and the Dutch Naval Officers and St. Domingo sufferers, to which they were entitled for services performed in the British service. Colonel DAVIES objected to the grant on the ground that the French Government ought to defray those ex penses, as the services rendered by those persona were for the restoration of the Bourbons. He objected to the pension of General Dumourier, as he had served In the Austrian army, and should, therefore, be pensioned by the Austeian ment. Ile also objected to the grant to the Knights of Malta, and he would, therefore, propose a reduction on the sum of 4,939/. 'llse CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the services of. those persons were performed in the British service MO., B •it Commanders, and therefore they bad-the strongest claims upon the Government. After a few words from Mr. Hume and Mr. AitnUrti- Wire, the Amendment was negatived without a division. A sent et 2,152/. was voted for defraying the defi ciency of the expense attending the printing of 1756 copies of the 53tli volume of the Journals of the House of Commons for the year IS:11. A sum of S,IMM/. was voted for defraying the expenses of the Institution called the. Refuge for the Destitute. A ststo of 2.5.000/. was proposed to be voted for the Caledonian Canal, to which - 51 r. HUM E objected, and said that, after 60,000/. had been already voted, it was too much to call on the house now for this additional aunt; and he feared, if this were granted, new demands would still he made. The CHANCF:LLOit uf the EXCHEQUER said that, from the Report of the Commissioners, this sum was likely to complete the renal. Col. PAVIES said a mireey and a specific estimate of the sum necessary should hr wade: iu which observa tion Mr. BROUGUAM concurred. Air. W. SMITH thought, as so much. money had been already laid out upon this Canal, and as great advan tages were expected from it, the house ought not to re fuse as much as would complete it. The Resolution was then agreed to. A smu of ZOOK was voted to defray the expences of sundry works in Port Patrick Hart A su.n of 12,00111. was voted for a like purpose in Holy. bead Harbour. A stun of 1,000/. was voted to make good a sum which had been laid out in purchasing houses for the improve ment of Westminster. After a few words from Mr. Hume aad the CHAN CELLOR dal- E‘CHEQUEII. tise Resolution was agreed to. sum of •2,700/. was voted to make good the sxpences of erecting new Courts fur the Commissioners of Bank rupts. Air. BROUGHAM suggested the necessity of erect ing temporary Courts adjarent to each other, for the liar, while the permanent Courts were in the progress of building, as no person could conceive the inconveni *ace both to suitors and the profession from their dis persion. :'r ~•; ': A 6 V.' • .t .

He saw several articles in the shop of Mr. Millart, which were the property of Mr. Mitchell, and not cut d in the invoices which contained an entry of all their transactions. The prisoner called on wit and begged him to• intercede with Mr. Mitchell not to prosecute; be did so, but that Oen tleman would make no engagement.

Taeaday night, or early on Wednesday morning, the house of Nehemiah Rickets, Esq. in the Hem med, was broke into, and robbed of geld, jewellery, plate, lac. to the value of about 17e01. The thieves scaled a wall thirty feet high to gain admission. Thursday afternoon a female called with a note di rected to a silversmith in Oxford -street, requesting some silver tea-pots might be sent to No. 7. Chapel place, Verrttreet, for the approbation of a lady who could not leave the house. A young man was de spatched with some I and after being admitted by the same female, was shown into the drawing-room, where three teapots were selected, and taken op stairs by her, to show the lady. After waiting a quarter of an hour, he rang the bell, and found she bad made her escape, taking with her the property. She bad repre sented herself as servant to a new married couple, who were to arrive In town tbis day from Bath; leaving a deposit of ten shillings, and giving a reference to No. 80, Loodon-wall. We understand that in consequence of the reddc tion is the price of Malt, Mr. CHAPMAN, of the Bag eigge Wells Brewery has determined to make his Ale.

When we Con sider the importance to families of po ing a beveiage free from the noxious ingredients usually employed its the composition of that necessary article, we tannin be surprised at the extensive patronage he so deserv edly enjoys. Such patronage we hope will abeam be given to meritorious individuals who prefer a small profit and fair name to the risk of destroying the health of their fellow-creatures by a wicked and unfeeling cu pidity. To satisfy the most fastidious as to the Itennine sees of his articles, Mr. CHAPMAN mikes half-yearly the following affidavit. " RICHARD CHAPMAN. of Regeigge Wells Brewery, Ale.

' a young female was convicted upon an indictment charging her with having stolen a shawl, the ptoperty of one Ann Moreton, sod seuteneed to transpottlition. Up to the 15th of last month she remained Is prison., in daily expectation of being sent off with the large batch of convicts under condemnation, to the destined abode of those whose case admitted of commutation from capital wisliment. On that day her father sad ether, and a young man who has been attached to bee for some time, waited open Mr. Weather, the He teener of Nefertiti, and assured him in the meat ear nest manner that they had undeniable evillest, : of her istoocence, and a strong proof of the crime of perjury upon the part of her accuser. After a long anal mode* investigation by the late Sheriffs, they became so m isled of the innocence of the woman, and the guilt of Doer armor, that on the 18th of Jen% they waited on Ate. Peel. with the decements to preys it. which they then presented; anti on the 19th a fall pardon was transmitted to Newgate. Bat • amongst those papers was one of a singular nature, and which hod the effect of producing a very remarkable ter mination to the case. The young magi who was attached Ito the accused, acid who seconded the efforts of the parents in their application fur justice or mercy—this person, who is a respectable market salesman, thought the best way to stet upon this occasion, was to direct to the Secretary a letter, describing the state of his heart, declaring that before the crime was at all spoken of, or thought of by any body, he bad determined to marry the girl, and that so firtbly convinced was he 4.f her innocence, he was ready to put that loteetioninto ;effect. in the presence of his Majesty's Ministers, if they would be piggied to grant her a pardon. and de liver her over to be incarcerated in his arms. Who ther this document operatesl in producing so quick as answer to the application of the parents, it is difficult to say; but it is certain that the case received an at tention, which reflects the highest credit upon Mr. Peel, as well as npos the Sheriffs, who sincerely hoped that the thing would end in matrimony. It was soon afterwards found that the salesman had hien arm terms of such intimacy with . the girl, as rendered it very probable that in the bliss of meet ing once more. all thoagitts of the ceremony ne cessary to sanction the contiOnioce of their acquaint s's.* would be dropped; and it was considered but fair lilt. as imbed become master of her person by a ma weretvve, seliesing might be done to make her even with bliii k by living her anunansweralla claim upon his protection. to accom plish this pgrgomi. the eon sequesees of the applicatioo were siaissied, but a .ntnalfrintsti assured the saltease, that the King bad given a favoutable ismer, sad that a fall pardon imight be calculated open, if tits yooog woman's same hoar 1 syfeile banged . to. i ‘ s , / ; bee loom: This i ~ teie••• ;ii," 'll- It= 1 hat an interview having takes place ego most deeply committed, the case was at ijgbedeteeleined to be referred to the Rector of St. Bo tglph. It was eleven o'clock in the forenoon when the salesman resolvett,tp purchase a license. Twenty mi. sates elapsed in teeming it at Doctors' Commons, , aid the utmost baste was necessary, as the ceremony could not be performed after twelve. Mr. Wontner, however, took care to have a coach in readiness, and Dr. Cotton, who was delighted at the prospect of a conclusion so unlike those he had been accustomed to l!booviassisee. witness, determined, if any obstacle presented itself, se perform the ceremony himself. They reached the @lurch five minutes before the awful hour ; but to the distraction of the Weeded bride, Mr. Hatt. the Rector, was from home, and the clerk of the parish positively refused to allow any one to of &late In his plate without his permission. The poor girl bitterly felt the disappointment, but the sales man bore it too stoically to give much pleasure to Dr. Cotton or the °oversee. who took back the young woman to the prison to wait fur the hour of solemnisa tion next day. The seismal' was warmly invited to remain under the same roof with her, and the affair was so well managed that they became man and wife the next morning, without knowing any thing of the pardon. On leaving the church, the happy couple de sired the coachman to drive to Newgate, where they supposed they were to wait the Secretary's answer; bat they were astonished at being told that they could no longer be admitted to tbe prison; and the salesman was mete with surprise on being presented with his wife's pardon, which had been granted two days be fore he married her. As soon as those facts were known to the prisoners in Newgate, there were above twenty petitions preseated is one day to Mr. Wuntoer, from men who offered to marry upon the same cuodi• Lions the same number of wooing sow under sentence.
