The grounds, however, on which tie looked t the qua ion were national ones ; and as he considered that the (barge was against the country, rather than against the Govern mtnt, an an individual; and on taidering therefore that a refusal to entertain the motion might are prejudicially to the country, as re lated to its connexion with Foreign Powers, by charging it with sanctioning the trade, he was not dismaed to rake any objection to the appointment of-the Committee.

It was known that the subscription which had taken place was encouraged by his Ma. jestv's 3licissers, and the question that he wished to put, and whi:it he had last night espresso I his intention of putting, when the . proper period arrived, was, whether It was the intention of his Majesty's inistet sto submit any proposition foe a grant of public money, or whether. if it was submitted from another quarter, it would meet with their sanction and approval ?

(('ries of " Order," and "Go on.") • Mr. Secretary CANNING was sure the proceeding of the Hon • 3lemb_r would not be sanctioned by the House, and he was 'convinced that the proposition for delay would be contrary to the interests of the Hon. Gentleman himself (hers, hear). and of the landed interest t and therefore he should press the second read ing. But with tespect to the second measure, res there WAS likely to be a lengthened discussion upon it, it was not his intention to press the second reading that night. (Hear. ) Sir KNATCH BUGG said, that as he understood from the Right Honourable Gentleman that it WAS his intention to defer the debate on the other Bill, hedid hope the Honourable Gentleman would not persist in his motion. because the finuse, in areedit.g to the measure, would give an increased continence and security to the country. He therefore acceded to the pmpositinn as to the bondcd corn, with the distinct understanding that he should have an opportunity of discussing the other measure. lair J.

The SPEAKER haring read the Order 4' the fly for the second reading of the Bill to permit the Importation of Foreign Corn— Mr. Secretary CANNING said that he had ITC okiectinn to the postponement of that questiou moil Thursday ; and if the business of that evening should be too heavy fir it to come on in time, there would be no difficulty in postponing it again until Friday. Mr. CA LCRAFT thought it would be better to fit at once upon Friday, and let it be understood that no disappointment should take place. Lord MILTON said that a great deal of public business might be got through during Whitsuntide, and would theraure recom mend that there should be no adjournment during that period. Mr. Secretary CANNING said that however disposed the House might be to continue sitting doting Whitsuntide, it might not be equally convenient for the other branches of the Ll'ghtla ture to give op tiwir leieure, and adopt the suggestion of the Noble Lord. 1 be second reading of the Dill was then postponed until Thurs. thi c : he other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Douse adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve o'clock.

The jealousy and collision which have existed for some time between the Legislative Body and the Itnyal Governor Geheral„ and which appeared to he in :messing, make tic proceethings interesting to their neighbours. The Legislature claims the right, when snaking giants of money, !U. to regulate its appropriation ; and the Governor General de nies that they have such a right wh,:n the grants are for the support of the Civil Government and the administration of justice. Ad dresses were voted by decided majorities to the King, and the Governor, on the subject, couched in respectful but arm language. In the speech made by the Governor, when he prorogued the two Llouses, he says--. 6 When I met you at the opening of thts Session, I stated to you in general terms the prosperous circumstances of the province, and the evident necessity that existed for measures to encourage the disposition of the people to industry and public improvement, to secure and to increase the value of property, and to facilitate the administration of justice In this fast.increadng population. " I received the most pleasing assuranom that I should have your support and co-operation on all matters tending to those de. sirable ends ; it is therefore with the deepest regret that I now find my hopes disappointed unon the most important subject. which pressed upon your consideration." Ile informs them that he was instructel from England not to sanction the Acts objected to, and adds, that he shall adhere to those instructions until they are recalled. Ile therefore refuses his assent to several bills of appropriations, until he receives his Sovereign's pleasure thereon. The Governor mho withheld his meat to a bill to continue and amend certain acts for regulatieg intercoms. with the United States, upon a basis of greater tritons than establist.s I by the late Imperial Acts.

The Moniteur has answered the statement which we inserted from the Brussels Oracle, relative to the resigna tions of French efficers. The number of resignations, instead of increasing, has in fact diminished of late years. The Flo'le of Monday states that letters from Corfu, of the 13th ult., confirm the accounts of the attack on Misso longlii of the 6th, and add that Mt AU LI s had arrived with provisions for two months. Petala, an island not far from the town, has become, since the capture of Vassiladi, the entrepli through which provisions are sent from the lonian Islands into Missolongiti. The report of the wound of 111114%111M or REDSCIIID is not confirmed. Letters from Bucharest, of the 15th of April, mention a fresh revolt in Thessaly, under THASO De TRIKARI, a Greek captain. The correspondence in the Quotidienne seems to remove all hopes of external aid to Missolonghi at present. iBRAIIIII attacked on the sat, 6th, and 7th ult., and his loss is estimated at 1,200 killed and wounded, and 147 prisoners; 430 muskets were .also taken. On the Bth April the first division of the Greek fleet of ten vessels entered the port of Zante. The remainder (about sixty sail) had not arrived on the 11th, and lb* Turkish fleet still occupied the approaches to Missolosibt. At a very late hour lut night we received American papers of three days later date than those which nnired by the previous conveyr.nce.

By news received yesterday from Rlo, it appears that the Emperor had left that place on the 2d instant, having embarked, according to one report, with the Empress, leavinge inlaid, lattly borti, under the title of Priace Regent, and having established a regency of nobility to govern during Itls absence. Another report gays, he left the Empress with the Infant Prince. and had a coan. ail for government. This journey of the Imperialist is said to be undertaken from the strong desitv the Emperor has to visit the dif ferent provinces, uhder the certainty of cent:ming them in their loyalty, by his presence. We, however, do not hesitate in saying that we think there is another cause, and a more powerful motive, for the visit; and not. withstanding all the follies committed by the Emperor, or the Im. perisl Government, we cannot imagine, fir a moment, that he would quit his capital, while a ilowernil and tinily-increasing army of patriots are carrying everything before them in the southern pro vinces. We do not hesitate in saying, diet Don Pedro, in once quitting his capital, never returns to it. By letters in town, it appears that Rio Grande and St. Catha rine's are occupied by the Patriots. The province of St. Paul's and the mines, If not occupied by them, have cut oIF all cont. munication with Rio Janeiro; and here we have a solution of the problem as to the visit to the northern provinces. The Em peror, not yet &aims of visiting " that lbourn from whence no traveller returns," has no security in his capital. It is even said that he will not visit Bahia, land it Is well known here that that city is not in a very composed state. We will venture to predict that his stay wilt not be long in Per. namhttco, but that when he leaves it, it will be in a very impove rished state. In this province the patriot party are rapidly increas ing, and we have no hesitation in saying, that the fate of Pernam buco will decide the fate of all the provinces to the northward. A serious misunderstanding Arcady exists between the Governor at arms in this place and his troops. The German battalion o about 400 men are all that he can rely on, should any disturbance take place ; and that, it is confidently expected, will very soon happen. LATEST THOM RIO JANEIRO, RIONTE VIDEO AND BUENOS AYRES. The brig Harriet, Spear. has arrlead at Baltimore, from Rio. whence she %tiled on the 17th of Febesoury. The Emperor and Empress sailed from Rio on the 3d, in the Pedro Primers, fur Bahia, for the purpcse of conciliating at gond-will of the inha bitants. They expected to return by Melte of April, and no po litical difficulty was apprehended durieg their absence. The import of flcur into !tin antic January I, amounted to 15,000 barrels, of which about 9,oolYharl gone round Cape Horn, bat as other arrivals were louketlodlinb palmed primwere maid wee, and sales were very languid atallifiell.soll. Vends bound to Rio must be furnished' with an tweet manifest of their neves. wedded by the Brazilian Consul, besides a bill of health. Coffee of first quality acatce, sud of ready sale common quality abundant and in little request. The advice from Buenos Ayres are to the Sal of January, at which time the holders of dour were asking 20 dollars per barrel on account of the river being strictly blockaded by the Brazilian aqua (iron. At .Monte Video dour was nominal at it dollars for new, and 61 dollars fur old. The failure of the Bank of Fat as and Co., of Vienna, being to a very heavy amount, will not fail to occasion considerable embarrassment to many capitalists on the Continent. There is, we fear, but too ►much truth in the report that Mr. Davin PARISH, the principal partner, has destroyed himself. It was not from any causes arising out of the general pressure on commercial credit that his diffi culties arose. It is privately rumoured, and, we believe, upon very crediblelauthority, that they originated in very deep and extensive stock-speculations. The confidential intel igence, upon the faith of which they were entered upon, came, as we are informed, from so high a quarter as to justify the most complete reliance. The result has shown, however, ►hat the secresy of Cabinets is not al ways a security against unforeseen influence, and that even their chief Director cannot always promise himself that his predictions will be verified. Mr. Dawn Fantail is not the first who has suffered fatally from putting his I trust in Pt inces. It is now generally believed that Parliament will break up abo , tt the close of the month: all the important busi ness of the Session will before that time be disposed of, and it is not likely that any fresh circumstances will arise that can make it necessary to prolong its duration beyond that period. It is curious to observe, when any crisis of difficulty and embarrassment occurs in public affairs, that every one un dertakes to account for it according to the particular dec. trine in politics which he espouses, or the particular party to which he belongs; and that the specific which each re commends, in the way of remedy, is adapted to his own spe cial notion of the cause and seat of the disease. Thus the severe distress at present felt in the manufacturing districts is by one party ascribed to the Corn Laws. If these were abolished, they assure us, we should then have cheap bread; the labourer of every class would then be able to provide for his family—his wages would give him a command of the necessaries of life; and plenty and contentment would smile round the land. Nothing, according to them, can go on right till the Landholder is compelled to lower his rents—the improvement in the condition of the country must begin with the soil—when the produce of the earth is cheap, this blessing brings all others in its train. Do away the bread tax, say they, and dis tress will vanish like dew-drops before the sun-beams. Another class of politicians consider this reasoning as absurd in the extreme; they hold it to originate in their ignorance as to the true source of the calamity, and to be so absurd in itself that no man of common sense, or common patience, can listen to it. According to them, all the evils that we at present have to struggle with are to be ascribed to the unhallowed operations of the Fundholikr. The price or manufacturing produce, they assure us, cannot possibly bear up against the national expenditure and .the amount of annual taxa tion. The loan-system is the evil ; and if we would re move, once fur all, the tu,,,i,ii,;41,A1 difficulties we have to ' combat, we must do it en the principle of an equitable adjustment, and by bringing the nation crid the fundhulde SURRENDRR OF CALLAO CISTifE to a fair reckoning. A third class reject this latter pro position, as bottomed in the most flagrant injimiee. What! talk of an amicable settlement of accounts between the public debtor and creditor, that is, to aid in wiping out the score ! Monstrous !

It is the baneful operation of the paper money system, and nothing else, which has produced all the mischief, and will continue to produce it, as long 53 there is a rag of that system left. Would gold and silver ever have brought us into this di lemma ? No such thing. Let us once get universal cash payments, and we shall then see commerce thriving and bankruptcies at an end. Nothing, in the opinion of another set of politicians, can be more erroneous than to ascribe the distressed state of our trade and manufactures to the Corn Laws, the public debt, or the paper currency, while the fact is, that all the want and misery of the manufactur ing classes arises from the employment of machinery. If we are to believe this order of politicians, the working classes have no 'cause of complaint but the sit ant-engine, The saving - - lesion of ' powers of and no agency seems the st the present ently strive ing up the looms that furnish them with the moans of ob taining it; and struggle to procure higher wages by anni hilating the property whicb gives them maintenance t they look forward to increase the ease and comfort of their circumstances, by destroying every improvement which has hitherto facilitated their labour. If, by the foregoing observations, we may be considered as having thrown some ridicule on the various political emrirics who would prescribe in such opposite ways, for the atrophy, according to some—the plethora, in the opi nion of others—with which the State is afflicted, let us not be supposed as in the most remote degree jesting with that distress, which unhappily but too much pre vails, and which the benevolent of all classes and opi nions are so zealously endeavouring to relieve. Assistance, and immediate assistance too, is the grst impulse of every generous mind towards the distressed, even though their misfortunes and misery be of their own seeking—the result of their own improvidence—aye, or even of their own vice. Let us attend to the sacred impulses of charity Jfirst, and Ilan seek at our leisure the best means of prevent ing such calamities for the future. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

DIIITRESSKD SFITAI.FIELDS WEAVERS.—It gives US great pleasure to learn, that about the end of the present month there will be a sale, at the Hanover-square Rooms, of useful and ornamental work, for the relief of the dis tressed weavers of Spitalfields, who have borne their many and heavy privations with such exemplary patience and resignation. 'The ladies patronesses are— Their Royal Highnesses the Duchetses of Clarence and Kent, the Duchess of Beaufort, the Marchionesses of Lanstlown, Co nyngham, and Salisbury, and the Dowager Marchioness of Salis bury, the Countesses of Liverpool, Warwick, and Aberdeen, the Ladies Alaryborough, Barham, Charlotte Calthorpe, Elizabeth O'Bryen, Georgiana Granville Ryder, the Dowager Lady Croft, and the Lady Mayoress, Mrs. Canning, Mrs. Denman and Mrs. Waldo. No delay should take place in so beneficent an undertak ing ; and therefore such ladies as are disposed to furnish useful or fancy work should, as early as possible, transmit it to the Lady Mayoress Nlarision-house ; Mrs. Doxat, Finsbury-square ; the Aliases Lloyd, 22, Queen-street, Cheapside ; the Misses Clode, 138, Bishopagate-Without; or Mr. Nisbet, 21, Berner's-street, Oxford-street. The Belfast Commercial Chronicle contains an account of a meeting called by the unemployed operative weavers in that place, to consult on the best method of obtaining relief. About one hundred assembled out of a body of several thousands, all of whom have conducted themselves, amidst their privations, in the most exemplary manner. John Agnew, Esq.. sovereign cf Belfast, attended and addressed the meeting, assuring it that a strong sympathy in their distress was felt by the inhabitants of the place, and recommending them to separate, and cause some estimate to be made of the number of persons out of em ployment. This stiggt.stion was willingly adopted, and the meeting quietly dispersed. The following are extracts from the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday:—" The subject of the Corn Laws has checked the enterprise of our corn speculators here, and Wheat was this day but Is. 4d, to Is. tid. Irish, per stone for Red, anti Is. 7d. to Is. tid. per stone for White. Oats fiti. British, per stone ; Barley 11d. British, per stone. Flour stationary, at 435.

" PLANTING THE SHOOTS OF PUTATOEB.—In the Autumn of last year, Thomas Walker, Esq. of Fermoy, made a successful experiment in the cultivation of potatoes, by planting the joints of the young shoots of the root, instead of the cuttings of the root itself, proverbially called akellanies. This Gentleman has this year planted, at a public meeting invited to the exhibition, on a large scale, and will at the time of digging omit the crop give public notice thereof, that the lower class of farmers may be con vinced of the efficacy of such an improvement." The intelligence received of the fall of ("allno is con firmed.

We have not room for the wtole of them' to-day, but subjoin the principal ones. It is a curious fact that the negotiations were carried on, in the first instance, on board a British ship, and that Ge neral Rodil, on his surrender of Callao, embarked on board his Majesty's ship Briton. The first condition proposed on the part of the gerfleoo was the following:— " There shaU be granted an amnesty, or general pardon, to all and each of the irdividuala, of whatever class or condition, as welt military and ecclesiastkal as civil ; and consequently their persona snail be inviolable, whatever may be tile Services they have new. dered to the King. " Answer—Granted, with respect to their past conduct, op to the surrender of the fortress." The succeeding nine conditions demanded by the pa rism, stipulate for the removal of the officers, public funs tionaries, and others, in British transports, at the expense of the Independents, with permission to remain in America if this should be preerred. The eleventh Article proposed was rather remarkable. It ran thus— * " The Chief Officers and For et innaritx, who may he wfitinfeact enter into the service of the Republic, shall be atintitted into it, waiting their respective ranks. stipulated secuttt)r . - the disposing a to ask obligation/ • of FINE ARTS. LORD RADSTOCVS PICTURES. Among the admirable collection of picterres belonging the late Lord ganstock, which will be brought under Mr. CHRISTI e's hammer at the close of the week, is that extraordinary chef d'ruvre by TITIAN, from the Aldo branlini Palace, The Darted. r iicnonras, with Me held of ST. dolt Non a charger. Had no other production of this transcendent genius ever reached to our times, bie claim to immortality might safely rest on this pictures alone. None but a mater-mind like that of TITIAN could have throon that powerful and peculihr expression into the countenance of the principal figure, which so pro flannelly arrests the attention of the spectator, as to give him neither leisure nor inclination to reflect on the cruet and vindictive intim of her request. We see her bearing ' the Baptist's heal on the charger, but we " look in her face," and forget our commiseration for her victim. We in fact have no room for any other feeling but that of admiration of the magic skill which produced such picture. In the first day's sale (Friday; is the celebrated picture of TITIAN AN!) tits DAUGHTER, formerly in the Borgliese Palace. The subject, which is allegorical, le singularly interesting; and never was that thoughtfulness, which it is calculated to inspire, more forcibly depicted than in the expression of the daughter's face, while listen ing to the monitory lesson of her father. The mind was never more strongly portrayed on canvass ; no v erbal descrip tion can convey any adequate conception of it. We might. particularize many other fine pictures in this collection, if it were, not that by so doing we might appear to undervalue those we omitted, which would be to do them great in justice. The whole have manifestly been selected with great-judgment, as they are of rase uirrit and of undoubted originality. NEir3fARKE2' .

The Committee for the Relief of the Distressed Manu facturers have issued the following address to the working classes out of employ. TO TIIE MANUFACTURERS AT PRESENT IN DIS TRESS FOR WANT OF EMPLOYMENT. Committee-room, London, May 9, MK The Committee who have been entrusted with the distribution of the money subscribed for your relief, commence their anxious task by addressing to you a few words of advice and comfort. It is with heartfelt sympathy and concern that we have learned your present state of distress. No sooner was it known in the Metropolis, than a subscription was entered into for your relief, to which all classes have contributed, and which promises Jr to i supply the means of providing you with the support of which you stand so greatly in need. Since, therefore, you are now assured of such a portion of relief as will preserve you from extreme want, we may jastly.entn at you to wait patiently for better times. We hope they are not far dis tant; but, whether they be or no, remember that itneatlence and disorder on your part will bersure to delay the happy change, by lessening the resources to which you must look for permanent imp. port. Irsde and commerce can flourish ;only in a quiet and peace able country. A few years ago the working elassee in the spice!. tural districts were severely tried with distros ; at that tints you were in the enjoyment of plenty. You arc now called upon ta suffer for a season ; but it will be only for a season ; and the more quietly and patiently you bear it, the shorter will that seagull be. Another motive to patience is, the Christian sympathy which pervades all ranks of people on your behalf ; from your gracious Sovereign, who, by his muniticentdonations, has given fresh proofs of his being the friend of his people, down to the servant and me. clunk, who have contributed a portion of their hard-earned wages to this work of charity. all are feelingly alive to your present wants, and anxious to relieve them. We are persuaded that you are a loyal and well-disposed people ; and that you view with sorrow and disapprobation the acts of vio lence which some misguided persons have committed, as being in. jurious, in the highest degree, both to your present interests and to your prospects of future employment. The King's lilinistre present at our great 3lecting, whilst he promised that Government would do its duty, by putting down and punishing acts of violetLe and disorder, at the same time pleaded for you, as a friend whose heart felt fur your sufferings ; and testified to your general good i conduct. Beller° us, when we tell you, that both the Government of etc country, and your fellow-subjects at large, take the deepest interest in your present distress, and will do all in their power to relieve it. Be content to leave your case in the hands of those who me sea kindly ilispo , Nl towards you. Do not be led awa:, by minrepresen. tution, to believe that any remedy will be withheld. which cat with safety be applied to your present case. The measures to which some have wickedly and foolishly resorted, ate not remedies, but aggravations of the evil. The Subscription which we are appointed to distribute, will In distributed only to those who are peaceable and orderly. A different line of conduct will compel your fellow-subjects to withhold both pity and relief, and will dry up the sources of Charity. Bur wa conlidently hop better things ; and In that hope we Murat you to secure to yourselves the benevolence and respect of those who ate able and willing to alleviate your distress ; and, which is of far greater importance, to approve yourselves obedient and roots. tint savants of Dim, who both appoints this trial of ) out patience. And will in his own goal time remove it from you. (here follow the names of the Committee.)
