Lard HOLLAND rose to give notice to their Lordships that 1 ,, -rnorroir (this day) be should bring before the Howse a Dissent r , tcred on the Journals on the `2lst instant, on the third reading ct the Earl Alarihal's Bill: and moved that the Lot* be sum ironed accordingly.—Orderei. EAST INDIA TRADE BILL. The East India Trade Bill was read a third time and passed. EQUITABLE lA)AN BILL. The Duke of LEI NS TER moved the third reading of the Dub lin Equitable Loan Bill. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said that this Bill had the sante object as the general roexsnre. which would probably not pass their Lordship s House during the present Session ; and it was tin their Lordships to say whether they would suffer this Bill, with the lame amendments that had been introduced into it, to pass now. The LORI) CUANCELLOR thought that the Bill ought to go over to another Session. and not be passed at this late period ; hot at whatever time it might again be brought under consi sleration, it ought not, in his o;iinion, to pass without great 10! erations. The Earl of LAUDERD.tLE hoped that his Nohle and L earned Friend on the Wooiseck would intmdttee a Bill in the nt st Session to p-evert the original subscribers to these Companies from selling their siarcs, until the charters were granted. The LORD CIIANCE:I.IMR doubted whether the trausac tions of these new Companies were legal; but he should bring in a Bit! next Session on the subject. The third reading of the Bill was then negatived, without a Lord CA LTTIORPE moved the third reading of the 3lanchcs ter Equitable Loan Bill. l:pon which an amendment was proposed, that it he read a third time that day three months, which was agrees - tut without a 'Eli...ion.

Advice' from Bogota to the 519th of March arrived yes- tcrtlay, which allude, in the strongest terms, to the warm reception given to the British Commissioners on their atriral at that place, and anticipate the most beneficial results from the spirit of conciliation manifested by this country towards the rising states of South America. The Gocela de Colombia of the 14th March, contains the official details of the welcome reception which the Commksioners experienced. These gentlemen have created a strong feeling in favour of this country by their frank and liberal conduct to the Colombians; and it is indeed gratifying to reflect on the perfect establish ment of a friendly understanding between Great Bri tain and that interesting portion of the New World, which has displayed so much constancy and valour in the struggle for freedom, as well as the most temperate and dignified conduct in the exercise of that inestimable blessing. We have given in another column the interesting account of the presentation of the Brit!sli Commission, with Colonel Hamilton at its bead, to the Members of the Colombian Government, and the principal Officers of the Republic. On that occasion Colonel Hamilton expressed to the Vice-President, Santander, the anxious wish of his Government for the establishment of a firm and solid alliance between the two countries. After obeersing that the British nation were not ignorant of the sacrifices that had been made by the people of Colombia, nor of the valour And determination of her army during an arduous struggle of fourteen years' duration, the British Com missioner atkletl—" It is said, sir, that France is desirous of assisting Ispain to reconquer these countries; but let not the people of Colombia entertain any apprehension of such an itwasion ; for in Great Britain they will find a firm and constant friend." To these assurances, which are so•worthy of the enlightened and liberal policy of our :Ministers, the Vice-President replica' in warm and dignified terms. " The Republic (he observed) has never created to itself cncmies,•which, by keeping us in a state of warfare, would present obstacles to the numerous means of prospe rity which we possess. But if (pain should find France, or any other power, willing to become her allies or co-opera tors in interrupting the internal tranquillity which weliave acquired at the cost of so much blood and so many sacri-1 ficts, the resolution and constancy of the Colombians will prove themselves no less firm than during the fourteen yt ars which they have spent in combating with Spain." Colonel Hamilton, on behalf of the British Government, requested his Excellency to accept a gold snuff-box ; but this present he was prevented by the Colombian• Constit ution from receiving, until the Cong,rus had authorised his doing so. In the course of the interview, Santander ex pressed himself in the warmest terms of gratitude towards Mr. Caiming and the British-Government, for the liberal policy which pervades its councils. The private letters from Bogota mention that the Cengrea had assembled, and that the Republic was increasing daily in power and prosperity. Mr. Ilenderson, the British Consul-General, had not reached the capital at the elate of the above accounts. A letter received in town Testerday, from the Spanish Main, states that the Hyperion had sailed with instructions to the Agents in London of one of the Inde pendent Governments, for the purchase of vessels of a large clash, for the purpose of coping with the Spanish force expected in these sear. No intelligence from Peru is con tained in the Colombian papers. The Itinatiovacket has arrived at Falmouth - in twenty seven days, from Jamaica; the letters brought by her will be delivered in town this morning. Yesterday we received Jamaica journals to the 16th of last month; they confirm the account, which we previously published, of the safety of the lion. Colonel Dawson, thebrother cf Lord Port arlington, who was reported in a Guiana paper to bare been murdered at tit. Domingo. Colattel Dawson has ar rived in safety at - Kingston. A Royal ,T'reclamaticn, which has given great satisfaction to the Cdonists„ hasixen pub lished in all thellritish West India Colonies, noticing that the slaves had been cnsaneously led to believe that orders had been sent from England for their emancipation, and calling loon them to " render entire sulnnission lathe laws, ' anddutiful obedience to their masters." A letter ism re ceived . express from Falmouth yesterday, which informs us 1 that affairs were going on favourably at Colombia, and that Colonel ilamiiton,•the head of the British Conwnission, intended to have waled for England in the Rinaldo, but was -prevented by indisposition. He may, however, be expected by the next arrival. Mr. Wildman, ALP., and Colonel Campbell, riffle passengers in the Rinaldo. The state of the public Press in India, a• .1 the circum stances attending the suppression of the Calcutta Journal, and the banishment of Mr. Buckingham, were to have been discussed yestenlay at a General Court of Pro prietors, convened specially for that purpose. However, , when the Chairman was about to bring the rubject for ward, aftee some matters of vino, importance had been ispostol of, he was prevented from proceeding by Mr. Douglas Kinnaird, who rose to ask, why, among the papers laid on the table respecting the Marquis of Hastings, the I..rpose drawn up by the Noble Marquis on leaving his • Government was not included. This expose, the lion. Gentleman stated, comprised all the principal topics worthy of observation in the Noble Lord's Administration, and was therefore of peculiar importance in enabling the Court of ;'roprietors to come to a right rorclusion as to the political merits of Lord Hastings. lie adverted also to an official announcement by the late Chairman, that it was ' intended to include this paper among those to be presented to the Proprietors. The Chairman, in reply, stated, that it was not included among the other papers, because it was not coesidered by .he Court of Directors as an official do. cument. The only communications of which that Court, could take cognizance, were those proceeding from the Go-1 rernor in Council, whereas this was written by the Marquis of 'listings at Gibraltar on his return home. This explana tion was not satisfactory to Mr. F innaird, who animadvetted with great warmth on the absence of any explanation why Mr. Wigram, the late Chairman, had announced that; the paper would be forthcoming with the others furnished' by Sir W. Rumbold. Sir John l)ovlc very temperately and sensibly observed, that though the Proprietors could not claim it as an official record, there could be no objec tion to have it laid before them, and every other document that could guide and assist their judgments, from whatever quarter it might be obtained, or in whatever form pre sented. The Gallant General therefore moved that the paper should be laid before the Court, though it was not officially recorded. A long debate ensued. The motion was finally agreed to: but to counterbalance the effect of this expose of the Noble Marquis, other papers were also ordered to be presented, to explain the statements it con tains. A third motion, made by Mr. Kinnaird, for the production of other papers, was adjourned on account of the lateness of the hour, as was also the consideration of the important questions arising out of Mr. Buckingham's case. It was admitted on all sides that the fullest latitude of investigation ought to be allowed as to the merits or demerits of the Marquis of Hasting's adminis tration, while at the same time there is obviously, on the part of the Court of Directors, a disinclination to lay be fore the Proprietors all the materials on which alone a cor rect judgment ran be founded. We are sorry to be com pelled to add, that this disinclination has been manifested almcst in violation of good faith. The public have not forgotten the stormy scene that took place some months ago at the India House, when Mr. Wigram refused to say that the Marquis of Hastings had not been detected in pecu lation, because (as he stated afterwards, in explanation of his conduct) he, as the Chairman and official organ of the Court of Directors, ought to say nothing but what they directed him to snake public, whether in the way of de nial or affirmation ; nor is it forgotten that, on the 2 tth of March, Mr. Wigrato, again sitting as Chair- I man, and we presume acting on the same principles of duty, most distinctly stated in reply to a question from Mr. Kinnaird, that " the paper, or expose, drawn up by the Noble Marquis, would undoubtedly be printed, as well as the other papers to which the lion. Proprietor had alluded." Mr. 111 gram was absent from the discussion 1 1 yesterday, and the Proprietors were told by Mr. Astell, the present Chairman. that cn the .Ith of May the Court of Directors resolved, on mature deliberation, that this cr -I,ose was not an official document, and therefore could not be included in the list to be laid before the Proprietors. We know, indeed, as Mr. Kinnaird ob served, that there was I strong difference of opinion among the Directors, as to the propriety of this extraotlinary resolution, by which that was declared not to be a matter of official cognizance, which the Chairman, the official organ of the Court of Directors, saving neither aye nor no without their express leave and order, had publicly de clared " would undoubtedly be printed with the other papers." The Marquis of Hastings more than any one of his predecessors is entitled to the gratitude of the East India Company for a series of civil and military services of unparalleled magnitude and importance. Yet these pro ceedings at the India House are calcnlated to excite a suspicion Chat a disposition exists to deny him the com mon justice of being heard for himself in refutation of the charges insinuated against him, or in vindication of the claims be has a right to prefer. The emote did not, for sooth, proceed from a Governor in Council ; it is therefore, say his opponents, not an act of which the Court of Directors can take cognisance. Rs:t they forgot that the Court of Directois did promise by their organ in March, that it should appear with the other documents. Certainly no act of Government ought to be recognised ex cept done by the Governor-General in Council ; but this rule does not prevent the Court of Directors from receiving a communication from the Marquis of Hastings in his indi vidual capacity ; nor after receiving it, from submitting it with the other papers, not as an act of their own, or of the Indian Government, but as, what it is, a memoir of the history of the Marquis of Hastings's Administration, cx pressly written by him to be laid before those with whose affairs he had been intrusted. When we bear these things in mind, :we shell excuse tile vehemence of Mr. Kinetird, and we believe the public in general will agree with him in censuring the artifices hy nhich tile defence of the Noble Marquis is sought to be cramped and con fined. We regret that we have to speak harshly, hut the country is interested in the treatment of such men as the Marquis ef Hustings, And iejustiett .cannot be committed against them without impairing the foundations of the greatness and safety of the empire. How much more worthy was the conduct of the East India Company when it stwortcd Mr. Hastings against the s:rong tide of public odium, which, by the machinations of faction, was turned uPon lihn to ov..rwhelm him, than now in having recourse to quibbles and tricks to deny their latest acct 'nest eminent servant, that -well-carne] reward which he has so richly furnished them with the moaus of bestowing on hiin. do not despair, however, that in his case also, the judgment of the proprietors ss ill not fall below the standard of Ilia nicrits. Yesterday, the Ihtke and Duchessof Clatenec honoured the Panoramic Exhibition, at spring Gardens, of the Battle of IVaterloo, with their pre& we. Ytwterdwy, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Sophia, and Prince Leopold, visited the King. Yixtmtlay the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duelien of Kent, accompanied by the Princess Victoria, the Prince of Ceiningen, &rid the Princess Feodore, viaiteil the Duke and Ouches; of Clarence. Prince Leopold honoured Mr. and Mrs. Agar Ellis with his company at dinner on Tuesday, at their residence in Spring Gardens. Ilia Royal Highness honoured the Italian Opera House with his presence in the evening. We are sorry to learn that Miss Nesbitt, the young lady who created so much interest by her highly promising reprev.ntation of Jr'lirl, at Covent-garden, on Friday lest, was so much indisposed with fever as to prevent her second appearance last night. Dr. Maton, who attends the young lady, forbad her leaving her room, and expressed his apprehension of the moat fatal consequences if she at tempted any exertion. Miss Nesbitt, we believe, is a native of Spain, and has not 'mewed more than five or six times en any stage. RTIIIIINEINIM11.11.11••••IIMMNIMINNIMI111 THE fiIYG'S COURT.

In COiIiCTICTICe of the alarming illness of 3liss Nesbitt, the Manager of Covent-garden Theatre was yesterday under the necessity of issuing a notice to the public, of the impossibility of her appearing (as announced) for the second time, in the character of'.l,,ilet. The placard that communicated this intelligence, stand that " Miss F. 11. Kelly, with great good nature, immediately undertook to act a character in which she has often been received with the flattering approbation of a kind audience." file au dience of last night appeared to appreciate the generosity and amiability of her conduct, and welcomed her on her entrance with three distinct rounds of applause. Her, acting was superior to, and her reception throughout the' piece, warmer than any previous performance, and must have proved to her that she is not likely to lose the favour ,he has so decidedly gained. The other characters in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet were sustained in the most excellent style, and the performance of the evening ap peared to give the most general satisfaction. The house was by no means crowded. "1 - 11 "- G - i'LL ROOMS. Last night Mr. Pistrucci, the Italian Improvisitore poet, exhibited his astonishing powers for the second time this season. We have before noticed this gentleman, and his extraordinary performance, and we are therefore now relieved from entering into any detail on that of last night. In latter times the business of the Improvisitore was prin cipally confined to the sunny clime of Italy ; nor do we see that its becoming more extended could add any one 1 1 iota to the pleasure or the improvement of any human being, though the individual who can collect an audience to hear him, may replenish his pocket. Mr. Pistrucci, however,sears an able Moll—a man who is generally well- I read, and pcasessing an extraordinary quizakneaa in its ap plication to any subject. The exhibition of last night commenced by Mr. Pistrucci's opening some ten et. a dozen realed letters, each containing a different sub ject, which he read to the audience, for the purpose of as eertaining which of them it might be their pleasure to I j form the sulject of his particular recitative. 'flee subjects which caught our tar were—The evil effects cf love! when indulged in by old age—The end of the World—! Sio!)e and her children—The death of Socrates---The in- j !gratitude of Rome to Marius—The liberties and graatness ' of Eng:and—and The genius of Lord Byron. Mr. Pistrucei !dwelt with considerable energy and fidelity on the liberty enjoyed by Eugland, and rose into something more than mere 7.tampore poetry when lauding the mighty, though not al-' ways well-directed genius of Lord Byron. The poet was I not forgetful of the other subjects. and severally adverted I to them, with considerable effict. Their praises, however, were all sung to the same tune, and that not the most bar ' mations, though accompanied on the piano-forte hey Mr. Migliorinsci, who presided at that instrument, in conse quence of the indisposition of Rossini. This introduction taking plae, Signor Pistrucci asked the audience which of the subjects he had read over should form the Imsiness of a drama in two acts, which be intended to repeat to such a respectable company? lie observed, that whether it was to be serious or jocose, or lachrymose, or sentimental, he was equally ready to proceed with it. The auditory seemed to relish the jocose, awl the choice fell upon " The fully of indulging the ard..nt passion in old age." Preparatory, how ever, to the drama, Garcia and Retnorini sang a - duetto, which had 113 considerable merit beyond that adventitious aid which two such artists could conkr upon it. Madame Basta also executed an air, and was received with especial marks of' public favour. Mr. Pistrucci then proceeded with his I ,npreriaitorc drama, the dramatis persona of which were exactly such as might be expected front such a subject. An old fool loves a youhg sad handsome pto sunny ; a Dowager revels upon the curly locks and muscular limbs of a youth of three and twenty. They love, as all Fitch Brie; hers do, both on and off the stage, and disappointment naturally attends those repulses which they severally meet. The dialogue was ;in some p=aces happy • here and there was a good hit ; and, take it generally, it ' laves the intrreasion upon us that Mr. Pis trucci is 3.1035 of gutting, good sensa, and of no every-day education. The amusement is un-English—if amusement it can be rationally called. Its novelty is its only attrac tion ; and though Mr. Pistrueei may be said to have sue , j ceeded on this and the former occasion, we can scarcely lead hint to hope that further exbil..tiens will be attended with as benalelent results. The rooms were towards the • , 64/Se of the perfamance very respectably filled. and no , I doubt there would have been an overflow, did not the weather prove so extremely unpropitious : and this can be the only apology for the use of black stotks, boots, and stir ' tout coeds, which prevailed principally amongst the fo reigners.

The infant was 11.1 d in a splendid crimson and blue mantle of Irish Manufacture, magnificently embroiikTed in gold and silver, with the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock. This was manufactured in Mathis especially for the occasion, by order of his Excellency the 3lativs ll elleslcy, •ho presented it as a mark of his affectionate rciont ter the Grenville family.
