BANKRUPTCY LAWS AMENDMENT BILL The House resolved itself into a Committee out this Bill. Mr. J. SM ITH, iu offering the various clauses to tbe de liberation of the Committee, remarked cm the necessity that bed at t.en, from the great mass of frauds and perjuries coun rnir..ed its the affairs of trit,krupts and insolvent', for .Dine seriatim of the (Nolo upt Code. Ills own übject was ciorfin. ea at pr. sent chiefly to the filling rip of the blanks of the Jf:II. The delay which had taken place as to the progress of lite Hill was nut owing to him; but soy further delay would have the t fft ct of keeping she Bill from passing this Session, and every man of integrity and lioneety must be anxious to see some mean. adopted fur purging away that art. in of fraud and err seri,. which had gathered from the isadtsitraoy of the Bankrupt Code, and which ; was greater in its extent than those of asy other branch of thin laws. Mr. &Otani ONSLOW thanked the Hon. Member, whose puhlie apitit and indefatigable anal in the discharge of Isis merlianieutary duties could not lie sufficiently admired for the deep and sasenslalleilion which he had given to this sub. jeci. No pirt of she code wanted revision more than the Bankrupt Law..

LON DON, FRIDAY, M•Y 18, NM ,11 ru o , • The result of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S motion fur on inquiry into the circumstances attending the meeting at Manchester, on the fatal 16th of August, 1819, is such as every one who knows any thing about the constitution •1• the tionse of Corn moos must have expected ; but it is not on this ac count less to be lamented. It is • stain upon the fair fame of our national system •f justice. that an event in which upwards of five hundred persons were severely wounded and some were killed by the unnecessary employment of troops, should be permitted to pass away, notwithstanding repeated efforts made by independent Members of the Legislature, by the friends of the deceased, and by the surviving sufferers, without any satis factory inquiry having been made into the causes that led to this sanguinary occurrence. The inves tigation that was commenced tit Oldham, in the inquest holden upon the body of JOHN LEES, one of the victims of military violence, was suffi cient, though incomplete, to spew the true chit. meter and complexion of that dreadful scene. and the country can now very easily understand why the Coroner, in violation of his duty, suspended the inquest just at the moment when the evidence was on the point of particularising some of the chief actors iu the attack that was made upon the people. Of this we think there can be little doubt, that if the Ministers of the Crown thought that the inquiry proposed by Sir FRANCIS BURDIITT would terminate creditably or to the advantage of the Manchester Magistrates and yeomanry, they would not refuse so pertinaciously to accede to the prayers' of the numerous sufferers who crowded the table of the House of Commons with their petitions.— All means recognised by law have now been at tempted for the purpose of bringing to justice, or even to fair investigation, the individuals who, on the 16th of August, violated the first principles of the Constitution, and inflicted wounds and death upon so large a number of the KING'S subjects. The inflection, thererore, of the Constitution, and the violence offered to the individuals concerned, can never be made the subject of any proceedings in a Court of law, or of an inquiry in Parlia ment. Tue Ministers, and the other advocates of the Manchester Magistrates, say, " The Courts of civil process are open to the sufferers, there they may try the merits of their cases, se verally, and by suing for damages, collect the opinions of Judges and Jurymen upon the oc currences of the 16th of August." We never be fore understood that an English subject could bring an action far the killing of a father, hus band, wife, brother, sister, daughter, or son, or could hope to have the loss sustained by tile death of such near relatives estimated in the way of damages by pounds, shillings, and pence. By the old law of appeal for murder, it is certain that the judgment of death for having killed a fellow. remitted by the appellor, upon money by lay of compensation ire sl:ru ; and iii uncietit sum fixed in this, u► well 'rtes, as the price of blood, or heir, or other relatives not legally urge their connexion with the barbs- Pas repealed a short time be • Manchester, es being um of our• Government, and lanced state of society; but it . . . . would seem that we boasted ton soon of our social impiovement, and that the repeal of that part 01' the old law, which gave to the widow or heir of t'r-• deceased the appeal of murder, unconnected with the imriosiatett Adjunct of wager of kali, ws to be attributed to the desire ofihe Government, and to certa:u motions of political expcdiency,rtulter 'Wien to the corrective sense*, society, : and to the neceesery inflaeoce of - civilisatioa. if that part of the law had not been. repealed,. no nems.: wity had now existed of applying to Parliament for inquiry, nor would it have been in the power of Magistrates, of Grand Juries, or of Courts of Law, to screen the reputed u►t►rd of. the per sons slain at Manchester from autionittits* to 'he judgment of a Ju►y. The law has been ►rprule.t. but the friends of the deceased ere remittsilso the principle of that law, and are told, tau 11l i l cruse of its absurdity, that they 'nay bring dolt actions of damages, and try the. *steal :of their losses by the help of twelve sworn appraisers.— But allowing the infraction of the liberty of the subject to be of no importance, and the deaths of some of his Majesty's subjects to be undeserving of inquiry, it is very well known that even the surviving sufferers have now no power of bring ing this great question before a Court of Justice in an action for damages. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and the other advocates for the Manchester Magistrates, must be aware that the time has now gone by for bringing an action. against Mr. HAY or Mr. Hutson, or one of the corps of yeomanry. The statute 24 Geo. 11. c. 44, provides, that " no action shall be brought against any Justice of the Peace for any thing done in the execution of his office, or against any consta ble, headborough, or other officer or person acting by his order or in his rid, utiless commenced within sir calendar months after the act committed." This protection has been construed to extend to cases where the party acting virtute officii exercises authority improperly, and abuses the discretion placed in him. The Manchester Magistrates, con stables, headborough, and yeomanry, acting under the orders of the Magistrates, cou►e clearly within this provision in the statute, and therefore it is no. , vain for their advocates to say that Parliameist ought not to undertake an inquiry into their conduct, upon the ground that a Court of Law is the proper place fur pursuing the investigation. The Ministers close the doors of Parliament against u consideration of the injury inflicted upon the Constitution—the Grand Jury of Lancaster stand in the way of ob. tinning inquiry by means of a criminal procedure— the Coroner at Oldham, in violation of his duty; dissolved the inquest at the moment of deepest in terest—the Court of King's Bench refused a crimi nal information against the parties—end while all• these meardi were fruitlessly pursued, the limita tion to civil actions prescribed by the Act of Par liament expired ; so that as the matter now stands there remains ❑o way whatsoever of ha►ing the occurrences at Manchester on the 16th of August. Mg, investigated legally or constitutionally, with any prospect of satisfying the motion, or of relieving the character of the country, of our judicial sr tem, mud of Parliament, from the stain that now unhappily rests upon them. We have received Paris Papers to the 15th instant. They acknowledge that it is difficult to come at the truth in the various accounts from Turkey. These unfavourable to the insurrection appear most deserving of credit. The declared neutrality of Austria and Russia has made a great sensation in the provinces of Moldavia aad Wallachia. The Greek Patriarch. at Constantinople, has pronounced an ana thema against all the Insurgent., which leas had also a greet effect. The Five per Cent. Consols Were on Saturday 83 fr. 60 c.; Bank Adios', 1,5621 fr. The Paris Papers state, under the head of Vienna, tbst Prince EirrsoulAzir, of Galante, IS.. been appointed Am bassador Extraordinary to assist at the Coronation of the Kiut of GREAT BRITAIN, and to congratulate his Illaigtcnr un the occasion. The private letters recently received from Rio Janeiro, contradicting the accoum previously received of the deter mination of the King of PeittUSAL, to :rluru immediately to Europe with his family, are not entitled to credit. This determination was officially announced at Rio Janeiro, about the middk of March last. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY staled in the debate on Wednesday night, that the voice of Par liament would be magical in the decision of the question. Mr. ScAat.grv, in auswer, observed, it must therefore be presumed, that it was not the voice of reason, but something beyond it, and that the Noble Lord might he, for aught that he knew, the greatest Conjwror in the world. It has been signified to us from respectable au thority, that Mr. BROUGHAM will withdraw the Education Bill winch he lately introduced Into the House of Commons, for the purpose of bringing forward a new one, wore suitable to the feelings and disputations of the people iii general ; a lesit tog feature of which will be to deprive the Cle•-‘ : . of that power which it wits the object of th- ti r Bill to limit in their !lauds, and give it to a Com mittee.—(Nottiaghara Review.)

The Ministers, the Neapolitan Ambassador, the Duke de Cases, &c., yesterday paid their respects to the King. The Journal de Paris is that the Pieihnoutese and ' Neapolitans, thrown upon different points of the coast of Var, have nut only obtained fatilities to return by sea to Barcelona, but even some of these refugees are allowed to travel by laud. Intelligence from Augsburg of the Bth of May states, that the Greeks had formed • design of setting fire to Con stantinople, and . Mating the Grand Seignior. The con spiracy has been timely discovered. In order to find out its authors, the Porte has put to the must cruel torture and executed a Bishop and seveml Greeks of distinction. From twenty to thirty are beheaded every day. The vessels which leave the mat are visited by the Turks, and woe to him who would have favoured the escape of a Greek. By news from Jams', dated the 18th of April, we learn, that the Boyards have received an order prohibiting their re snuirtil ; several of those who had emigrated are already ou their return. It is cam, to see that they submit only from somprlsion, that they do not wish to take any part in the disturbances which agitate their country, and that they only wait a favourable opportunity to nuke their escape again. 'the Turks ere reinforced in their fortresses, but it appears that they will not advance until they have a considerable force to crush their enemies and terminate the war at once. They expect levies from Asia. At Bucharest, on the 14tIs of April, they had commenced raising fortifications round the city. The Boyards were engaged in raising a loan of two millions of piastres in order to supply the arms of Ypsilanti, who, on the 7th, entered the city with a part of his army. Theodore went to Cutretvesui on the Bth, rind Ypsilanti left Bucharest on the 1211 i to juin bun. It appears from thence that them two leaders are united. Theodore, it is said, is inspired by hatred to the Turks, and the other with au anleut brie fur liberty. Lett. re from Nuremberg of the 9th fully confirm the statement that the' Turks had been driven out of several Weeds in ties Archipelago, where the Greeks flatter them selves also with being able to recover their independence. The insurrection has reached the Mores, but has nut •a yet made a rapid pen tress there. Disturbancee are said also to have broken out in some parts of Mace donia : it is difficult to procure intelligence from those countries. No insurrection has broken ont on the cowls of Asia. Minor ; Letters from Smyrna, however, mention a ferment which prevails in that country. IRUN, MAY S.
