So that, 1 think, you had much greater reason to be "ashamed" of that vote, then of the vote, whieb I bad the Moose to propose to you for the reduction of the interest of the debt, romnsonly called patio's,. and with which debt Lord Carom:es si was, at you will presesq see, by so mesas unconnected. •Where did the mosey mass from to pay Lord Car sox's sinecure ?

No thing can be plainer than this: and yet those who modems you for calling tor a redaction of the interest of this debt, are (some of them) the very persons who advised you, and who really deluded you into this vote Of thesis to Lord CAMDEN. Oenilemen, I congratulate you on the ejbet, that your petitlea of the I Ith of June has had. You see, that even the Olen of the system are sow talking of a redaction of theinterest of the debt.

POSTSMOUTII, JULY 6.—His Majesty's yacht, the Royal George, has been ordered to be ready for his Ma jesty's reception on the 25th instant. We understand she can go oat of harbour on Tuesday next, if necessary. The Hon. Sir Charles Paget, and Olfirers of the Apollo yacht (which is in the Basin, in an ordinary enure* of equipment), will mood his Majesty is the Royal George yacht, for this season. It is said that Sir Benjamin Hallowell, K.C.8., will proceed on a cruise at the commencement of the Equi noctial gales, in the new line of-battle ship, Remelt, fir the purpose of ascertaining the qualities of a round stern vessel of that elms, os all points of sailing, is try ing weather. Superior efficiency. as a contending foes. and streng;b, in the stern part of the ship, are establish. ed points, la these above square-sterned ships.

BOTTS* raiIIiSSZT.—IS is curious that at the moment when the "Collective Widens" was considering how to give relief to agriculture; and the Dairymen importun ing the "Repremetatioes of the Pe2ple," to obtain fur them an additionel dozy on Foreign Butter,—the "great principle. Vesture" should come late operatioo in their r , and do more than all the Acts of Parliament that ever tremor ever mild be passed for the purpose. The extreme mildness of the spring, brought in such an un osaal quantity of Dutch Butter. as caused that article to fall much below its value, as compared with other arti cles; and the natural consequences followed ; importa tiqn ceased, and the enormous consumption of this • Wativx" soon cleared off, without its being perceived. ;heredundant stocks. The ceasing of the importations was followed by the unusually early and hot spring and summer, which are always believed (contrary to expe• dente, however,) to cause a short make of hotter and cheese. And the merchants and tradesmen of the " Wow," always anxious to be doing, are giving very extensive orders, which we have very little doubt will, if persevered in, end in the same disastrous way as the speculations of ISIS. But these speculations answer the purpose of the moment ; they canoe an advance in prices ; the Ministers persuade themselves and their adherents that this advance is an indication of returning " pros• pertly;" the "great principle. of nature" are setting all to rights; and the landlords return to their estates hugging themselves with the hope, vain hope, of getting their RaNTs. WATBSIOAD, JULY 4.—The receipts of butter at the Crane have been progressively increasing this week— Monday's supply (551 firkins) exceeded any former day of this season—Tuesday's was 332—yesterday's still larger, 569 firkiae. Tha demand, however, continues brisk, cad the price keeps up. On Tuesday it was for a time as high as 635. for firsts, bat afterwards receded to 83s. and 82s. I yesterday it opened at 82s. to 82s. 6d. —bat speedily got op to 635. generally, and 6d. over was paid in some instances. Rutile RZVCIAT.—Last week, three days enter- tainment on an extensive and splendid scale were Riven at the Mansion and Park of Mrs. Aldridge, near Horsham, on occasion of her only so'n coming of age.— On the wood day the number of persons that dined was estimated at between 7011 sod 809, and the people present at 7,000. The provisions not constiosed at din ner were afterwards distributed at different parts of the Park, amongst the spectators, and on that day, the Bright** flersld says, upwards of 21 hogshead*, or 1263 gallows of stroog were drank by the populate.— Among the persons present were four persons whose united ages amounted to ffJ5 years, via.:—Widow Ed• wards,lllo; Reaben Baker, 95t John Lainper.9o; John Hunter, 90, the first of whom had a daughter, (aged above 7G,) her grand daughter, and great grand daugh ter also present. From the quantity c` ale drank the cousequeaces may be easily conjectured. It would, certainly, continues the Brighton Herald. hare caused the-muscles of the gravest maelny to inebrll7 to 'simper, to bare walked round the Park, about ten o clock in the evening; fur, theagh perfectly sober himself, be would bare found it almost an impossibility to have proceeded ten paces whitest stumbling over the apparently inani mate bodies of some who had too libeAlly partaken of bumpers to the health and happiness of the " Founder of the Feast."

The young gentleman whose birth was thus celebrated, is the grandson of the late John Aldridge, foe many years Storekeeper of the Ordnance.

The rain poured down In totrents, aid the swell ing waters swept along the streets, bearing away almost every thingthat opposed them. At the toped Wheeler-gale, where a new culvert is forming, the waters collected in great force, Irmo the marker-place, and Friar-lane, rais ing a vast whirlpool, which for a thee was tell by the banks of earth on each side, but at length it forced its way with a tremendous roar, and carried several tow , of earth, a ladder, some tools, used by the bricklayers, and a number of fowls along with it. The tellers on the oast side were filled with water, and great immure nitric, resulted therefrom. In Linter-gate, Oreyfriars% gate, Broad-marsh, and WOO other streets, the water forced its way into the houses, and in Feast-sttsel. Platt , street, tnanv of limb beds and other articles of fornitsre were Gera in the low dwellings. A house, now boild• ing by Mr. Petifur, in Oedling-street,'was so stanch in jure,' by the washing away of the foundation, that the , front has been obliged to be pulled down, and rebuilt. A tree in the park was struck by the lightning, anti a large branch broken of, but we have sot beard of any other damage from the electric fluid. The story raged several miles round, and a vast quantity of rain fell, but we are not aware of any itaterial injury being sustained, except in Nottingham. Sloes this visitation, we hard bad a succession of showers, which have bees of incal culable benefit to the growing crops in the neighbour hood. • The town of Brighton was visited by a heave storm of thunder and lightning on Thursday eight sad . Friday morning, accompanied with torrents of rain. During the morns, a boat-officer, while looking oat for smog glees on the West Cliff, was struck to the rotted by a fla•li of lightning, bat recovered without injury, though hilt fall was violent. PORTSMOUTH. JULY 6.-0 o Friday morning . between one and two o'clock, we were visited by thunder, light ning, aid rain—the latter after two month's drought., We would not denominate it a storm, as there was no wind, and the rain fell is gentle, though copious streams. Just before two o'clock no apparent explosion took place in the atmosphere, and we observed a &c -hoir, or elongated ball, descend near to us, in the West ern Horizon; which, providentially did no injury, as it, proved to have fallen into our harbour. Corroscations of light, resembling pointed arrows, attended its dc.- scent, with a tremendous peal of thunder, which shook the window frames of the near houses equal to thocon cussion when the air is agitated by firing a 36-pouodcr gnu ; a line of bite-veined-red atmosphere crowed i:e path, and a very strong salphureoes smell was emitted. The water spouted up ten or twelve feet, when the bolt fell in. About tbi; time the lightning struck tbi main topmast of his Majesty's gaard-ship Albino, lying in the harbour, which splintered it, and, It is expected to prove, the mainmast also. - The electric Bald 'struck the flag-staff between the topmast-cap and cross-trees, and descended to the quarter-deck, but where it escaped thence no one knows, owing to the very great glare ceased bp the sudden flash of lightning. The main-top mast is rendered unserviceable. The effects on the mainmast cacaos be ascertained until it is taken to pieces; but from a slight fracture on the opposite side, when the nails which contised somelead round the partners.were forced out, it appears to have passed through the heart of the mast. The officers compare the stroke to several of the guns being discharged at the same moment. The ship most be hauled alongside the sheer-bnik, to ascer tain all the injury done. The rain continued several hours, and has again fallen in a steady fructifying coarse, nearly the whole of this day, which most prove of great benefit to the crops. On Friday morning, during the tremendous storm, the inhabitants of bansb's.passage, Chiswell-street„, were alarmed, by a tire ball falling, which passed about a foot from the window of a back room, on the second floor, of 31r. I y's house, N 0.6. Mr. Tretvey was sitting at work in the room, which was apparently in a blase of tire at the moment, and accompanied with a sulphureceas Mr. T. describes it to be about the size of a cricket-ball, and about ten feet from the earth it ex ploded. The whole of Saturday crowds of persons were assembled round Mr. Treevey's boost, it having been reported that he was killed by the electric fluid. Ori Saturday morning, about six o'clock, at Tring, near Dorking, four men, who were going to work, were knotlied down by the electric hid, and for a short time were quite senseless; happily they received no other in jury that being slightly scorched io the face. In the forenoon of last, Godstooe was visited by a sharp tempest, when a lad in the service of a' (fair-dresser, was unfortunately killed by lightning,— The electric dull was attracted by a chimney, nitwit conducted it so a room irberein the ill-fated lad was em ployed ; it passed on to the door, and in its escape shi 'eared it to pieces. A mare and a foal belonging to Sir George Cayley,at Brompton, near Scarborough, were struck dead by light ning on Monday last.
