CLERK defended his Hon. Friend Slr O. Cockburn from lbe conduct attrboted to him by the Member for Montrose. Air U. COCKBURN hoped the matter would be now dropped, after the very handsome manner in which the Hon. Member for Montrom had expressed himself. &fun a few words from Mr. HUME, the petition was brought sp. read. and ordered to be printed. Air. SYK ES presented a similar petition from a place in Yorkshire which we did not distinctly hear. Mr. HUME took occasion to observe that he would certainly king the subject before Parliament in the ensuing Session. Petitidh laid on the table. LAW OF MERCHANT AND FACTOR. Sr H. PARNELL presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Dublin, praying foe alteration in the law of merchant sod factor.,--Laid on the table. CORN LAWS. Mr. LAii'LEY presented a petition front certain persons ciDur. hats on the subject of the corn laws. Mr. COKE presented similar petitions from several places in Norfolk. They were laid on the table. DISTILLERIES BILL. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON presented a petition from certain Distillers of Ireland, praying to be heard by Counsel, against certain pasts of the Distilleries Bill. The Honourable Gentle map argued at some length, that the Bill infringed the nth Article of the Act of Union, which provides, that the duties upon Irish spirits are not to be paid until those spirits arrive in this conntry. The present Act requires, that one half the'duty should be paid in lrelsnd, and bonds given for the remainder, leaving the merchants the chance of a dead lomfroill shipwreck or leakage. He hoped the Right lionoueableGeotleman (the Chancellor of the Exche quer) would take their MSC into consideration. Mr. S. RICE pressed the subject on the Right Honourable Gentleman's attention. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would not enter into a discussion upon the bringing up of a petition, be muse he thought the subject might be much better examined on the second reading of the Bill. He did not, however, think the peti ttoners were entitled to be heard by counsel; and he was indeed very much surprised to hear that they had any complaint at all, be. cause they had been consulted by him upon the subject, and he had adopted several amendments at their suggestion. He was quite ready to state in the Committee why he thought the Bill did nett violate the Act of Union ; and he could only say that it was a mat ter of great indi ff erence to him whether the Bill passed this Session evertor, although he thought it would be a public Was. After a few words from Mr. WM. Swine and Mr. HUTCHIN -10)1, the Petition was ordered to be printed. COMBINATION LAWS. Mr. MAXWELL said he rose to give notice of his intention to resent on Tueaday-week a petition from 10,000 weavers in the West of Scotland, on the subject of the Combination Laws, lie gave notice thus early, because, from the manner in which reports were given in the paper+. (A Laugh. Tice Speaker here called the Hon. Gentleman to order.) If the House would give him leave he would read a letter he had received. (Cries of no, no.) The lion. Gentleman then sat down, announcing his intention to present the petition on that day. Mr. HUME presented two petitions against, the re-enactment of the Combination Laws--one from the Journeymen Victuallers of Dublin, (victuallers in Ireland are somewhat like our slaughterers) and th e other from the Block Makers of the river Thames.—Laid on the table. EAST INDIA JUDGES' RILL. After a khort conversation between Mr. C. Wooer, Mr. Tex. wrsoce, and Mr. S. Vfono LET, the Howse went into a considera tion of the Report on the Eliot India Judges' Bill. Mr. HUM E said he had some clauses to propose on the subject of :Juries: Great inconvenience and serious injory had been suffered by our East India subjects from natives not bring allowed to serve or: juries. At Calcutta and Madras they were prohibitei, while at Ceylon they were constantly admitted to that duty with the best effects. On Courts Martial too, at Bamckpore, where he had seen them himself, and at various other places, natives had been admit. ted to pass judgment on natives, and given great satisfaction to the commanding officers. Nothing could be more unjust and impolitic nom the present method, of employing people who knew nothing of the affairs of the natives, and always judged by an interpre ter; and he hoped the House would ndopt his clauses.— lie wished that one of the clauses of the Bill should be to leave it as a matter of option to the Chief Justice to Ammon the natives on Juries, if he should think proper to do so. He wished to confine the power of appointment to those plates in which the King's Courts were esiabliahed. It was his intention to submit three amendments s—first, that the Sheriff's of Madras. Calcutta, and 'Bombay, be empowered to summon half-castes, who are subjects of his Majesty, and who are duly qualified by taking the oath of allegiance to serve on Juries, whether they be born under his Ma jesty's 1114, or conquered, or ceded to this country. The other clause which it was his intention to move, was that those persons 'who were duly qualified to serve on Juries should have a right of 'appeal, in the event of being omitted to be summoned. This was •stmilar to the appointment of Juries in this country under Mr. Peel's Bill. It was his intention to move other clauses, as to the power of challenge, &c. in civil cases. He would, however, for the preset, confine himself to the moving of the first clause. Mr. WYNN was cot adverse to the objects of the amendments 'suggested by the Hon. Mover, but he was unwilling that the adoption of such an amendment should be connected with a Bill with which it had no natural relation. Although he was most de. aims of giving India the utmost advantages that could be derived (mei her enjoying similar institutions to this country, he was not at this moment prepared to suggest any alteration 113 the law of Jury In India. No such alteration should be introduced, without fuller and more satisfactory information, as to the necessity, than thrvernment at present possessed. Sir C. FORBES supported the amendment. . Mr. W. SMITH considered this subject of great importance. "The proposition of his Hon. 'Friend, if agreed to, would prove a useful link between the Europeans and the native millions of India. The mote those links were multiplied, the more secure would the power of England be in India. lie heard with great plearure the intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Wynn) to interfere, and front this interference he anticipated the beet results. Mr. TRANT understood that much disapprobation was ex cited by the manner in which justice was administered at Madras. In support of his observations the lion. Member quoted the fol lowing extract front an unrecorded Memoir of Mr. I. ullerton, given in Tucker's Review of the Financial State of the East India Company:—" To convey to the mind of an English reader even a slight impression of the nature, operation, and results of the ryot nor system of revenue, connected with the judicial arrangements -of ISM, must be a matter of some difficulty. Let him, in the first plate, imagine the whole landed interest, that is, all the landlords of Great Britain, and even the capital farmers, at once swept away 'from off the face of the earth ; let hint imagine a ens or rent fixed on every field in the kingdom, seldom under, generally above, its means of payment ; let hint imagine the land so assessed lotted out to the villagers, according to the number of their cattle and ploughs, to the extent of forty or fifty acres each ! Let him ima gine the revenue, rated as Above, levyable through the agency of a hundred theusand•revenue officers, collected or remitted at their discretion, according to their idea of the occupant's means of pay. Mg, whether from the produce of his land or his separate property., And in order to encourage every man to act as a spy on his neigh. Lour, and report his means of paying, that he may eventually save himself from extra demand, let hint imagine all the cultivators of a Village liable at all times to a separate demand, in order to make up for the failure of one or more individuals of their parish. Let him imagine collectors to every county acting under the orders of a board, on the avowed principle of destroying all competition for labour by a general equalization of assessment; seizing and send ing back runaways to each other. And lastly, let him imagine the collector the sole magistrate or justice of the peace of the county, through the medium End instrumentality of whom alone any cri minal complaint of personal grievance, suffered by the subject, can reach the superior courts. Let him imagine at the same time every subordinate officer, employed in the collection of the land revenue, to be a police officer, vested with power to fine, confine, put In the stocks, and flog, any inhabitant within his range, on any charge, 41thout oath of the accuser, or sworn recorded evi dence on the case. If the reader can bring his mind to contemplate such a course, he may then form some judgment of the civil ad ministration in progress of re-introduetion into the territories under oile Presidency of Madre, containing 125,009 square miles, and a ulation of twelve millions." In conclusion, he expressed his determination to bring the subject next Session before the House ' if it was not undertaken by the Right lion. President of the Board of Controul. After a few*exphinatary observations, Mr. HUME withdrew his amendments. The Bill and its amendments were then ordered to be engrossed, sod to bend a third time on IFednesday ee'nnight. • DISTILLERY *ANVIL The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moted the Ortin of the Day foe the re-committal of the Distillery Laws Bill. Mr. CURTEIti opposed the motion (loon the grounds of injury to the Corn Trade, as molasses (by a recent regulation) is permitted to be used in the distillation of spirits. He also considered it too bite a period in the Session for the discussion of such an important queigion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said a few words across the table, which were not distinctly heard in the Gallery. Mr. 14'. SMITH said this Bill was pregnant with injustice to the English distillers. It was unsatisfactory to the Irish, and by I no moms agreeable to the Scotch distillers. It was intended as a boon to the Irish and Scotch dietiliem, against whom many charges I have been made at the expense of the English distiller, against whom no charge is made. The proceedinge of the English dirt. tillers have been confeemely fair and hottest. The charge of mo nopoly urged against the English distillers was too groundless and' absurd to be named. The House then resolved itself into a Committee, and several verbal agreements were agreed to in the different clauses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to a question from Mr. C. H. Hutchinson. stated that the effect of one of the clauses would be to allow Irish spirits to be imported into this country, paying in cash the duty heretofore imposed in Ireland, it bettig at the Fame time bonded for the difference between that and the amount of duty on British Spirits. Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON complained of this arrangement as materially detrimental to the interests of the Irish distiller. After some observations from Mr. W. SMITH (Norwich), the disuse thus noticed passed the Cornmittlik. Mr. WESTERN addressed the Cellnaittee at some length on she ether clauses, objecting to that which *Dewed nun to be ad- I [ l ll r I J ,+ mitted 'for the purpose of being rectified, without thee* being dye investigation and inquiry had =the subject, with a view to ethic% he was of opinion that a Commission ought to be appointed. He wished not to be understood as settling the agricultural interests of the Colonies in opposition to those of the mother country. He concluded by moving, that rum should not be included amongst the other spirits nutted in the subsequent clause. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER confessed that he had not been prepared to expect such an unfounded alarm on this subject. Last Session he had alluded to the case of ruin &a to the distress of the Colonies. and he thought it was not any thing unreasonable to place the duty upon rum and upon British spirits on a footing of equality. He trusted that it no distant period The effect of the measures then in operation would be to substitute British spirits for smuggled rum and gin. Certain documents of his had been read by persons who either had mis represented or misunderstood them, and who had laid this at his door; namely, that he considered 24e. would be a good remur.e rating price to the growers of barley, and that therefore he intended to introduce some measure; for his part he knew not what should have the effect of doing away with the Corn Laws. Now nothing was further from his intention. What he had said was this : find ing that the average price of barley for the last eight years had been 30s. a quarter, be formed his coaclusion that if there was no duty whatever on corn, he anticipated the price would be about 241. a quarter. That was all he had said about 245.; but it had never catered into his thoughts to propose the repeal of the Corn Laws, which had beets attributed to him. Upon what ground was It that Gentlemen thought the proposition made by him was calculated to produce such results is had been represented ? He apprehended that there was a very large quantity of barley grown in England that was consumed in Scotland, and he believed that if they were to reduce the duty on rum in Scotland, It would cause great benefit to the agricultural counties here. The process of converting rum into gin was not so easy as people might imagine. There was an essential oil in good rum, which had a very peculiar fiavour, and very able chemists had found it very difficult to remove that flavour; there was certainly a chemical process that would dose ; but it was by no means done so easily, as the right smack of gin could be ob tained from other raw materials. He owned, upon general prin ciples, he had from the commencement of his connection with the Colonies thought a better course ought to be pursued towards them. We had not acted like a Mother Country, but rather too like a step-mother to those Colonies. During the war it was im possible to *et upon the principles he advocated ; but when war ceased it was his anxious wish to treat all our Colonies upon the very freest principles. The more we did so the more should we be adding to the prosperity, security, and advantage of that very class of individuals who now seemed so much alarmed at the bare mention of the proposition, (Hear, hear.) He could not bring his minteho the supposition that in proposing . this measure to the House, he was doing anything that could injure the interests of those who affected to he so much alarmed ; and where he could not perceive any danger in the adoption of a measure which was calcu lated to entoree those principles of free trade that were admitted to be the basis of commercial prosperity, he felt it to be hit duty to submit it to the consideration of .Parliament for their adoption, and 'therefore opposed the amendment. Mr. W. S3IITH. said, the distillers were as much alarmed at the proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman now as they were last year. The whole weight of the measure would tall tin the English distillers. Not a gallon of the rum which was to be distilled would go either to Ireland or Scotland ; and the rum to be introduced for that purpose would displace a much greater quantity of corn spirit than the interests of the English landholder could admit of. From hint the whole was to be taken, and upon him the - whole of the ex. pence would fall. With regard to the English distiller,hisaupply was reduced to two-thirds of what it formerly was, and if the pro. position of the Right Hon. Gentleman should be carried, it would be reduced considerably more. He should certainly appose the proposition. Mr. ROSE ELLICE spoke in favour of the proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer). The produce of the West India colonies was not above one-fifth of what it was ; the price which it brought would hardly pay the expense of bringing it to this country. Mr. U WHITMORL considered the proposition to he con trary to the principles of free trade, and lie should therefore, con. trary to his usual course, oppose the Right lion. Gentleman. Pile. COKE also opposed the clause. Mr. MONCK thought the Right lion. Gentleman had made out a very good case, and he should therefore give him bin support. After a few words from Captain M ABERLLT, Mr. BENETT (Wiltshire) said it was most unfair that such insidious attacks on the landed interest as the present should be brought forward at so late a period of the Session, when those most interested were absent. Mr. H. SUMNER said the country had been in a state of great excitement and alarm for the last eight or ten weeks, in conse quence of the announcement of the President of the Board of Trade that a revision of the Corn Laws would take place next Session. -Great uncertainty prevailed as to the ultimate determination of the Government. Though the landed interest might have been a little quieted by the rejection lately brought forward for a general reel sion of the Corn laws--though they might feel that a sweeping attack was notimmediately made against them, they could not but perceive that Government adopted another, and not less destructive mode of dealing with the subject, in setting up a series of measures, such as the Canadian Corn Bill, and that for letting into the market warehoused corn. The landed proprietors saw and felt the injury which such insidious measures as these were likely to inflict on their interests, and naturally enough say, Let these be reserved until the next Session. When the entire question is to be dis cussed, and if we are to have them, let them all come together.-- (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUSKISSON said there were no grounds for charging Mi nisters with bringing forward any insidious attacks on the landed interest at a late period of the Seasioo (hear, hear.) With respect to the Canadian. Corn Bill, which had been mentioned as an in stance of such conduct, he begged to remind the House, that so early as the Ist of March he anrounced his intention of bringing that measure forward. The Bill was brought in immediately after Easter. If the Government were to be attacked for announcing a measure early in March, and subsequently intro ducing it at Easter, he hoped the lion. Member for Wiltshire (Mr. Benett) would tell him at what period Government ought to bring forward a measure so as to escape the imputation of delaying until nearly the end of the Session. (Hear, hear.) The Right lion. Gentleman went on to say that the duty on British spirits by his Right Hon. Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) with a view to put down smuggling, for every one knew that it was carried to a greater extent in spirits than in any other. ( Hear, hear.) Indeed, it proceeded to such an extent as to be extremely injurious to the corn grower of this country. After some observa tions as to the quantity of rum likely to come in ander the proposed regulation, he said that people would not be disposed to use rum In preference to British spirits, and that the quantity of rum COD. sumed would not more than cover the quantity hitherto smuggled into the country. (Hear.) Indeed he heard from the highest authority that no matter what commercial advantages this country might confer on France, she could never compensate for the death-blow liven to France ou putting down, by the reduc. tion of the spirit duties, the contraband trade which had hitherto been carried on between the two countries—(hear, hear)—a cir cumstance which, by increasing the consumption of British spirits, must materially serve the corn grower of this country; he there. fore hoped that no confederacy, such as that talked of, would be formed amongst the landed proprietors, and he was sure that the Hon. Member for Norfolk (Mr. Coke), would, notwithstanding the adoption of the present measure, see the county of Norfolf flourishing and abounding as much in the growth of barley as ever. In conclusion, the Right Hon. Gentleman said, he had thrown out nothing which ought to alarm the landed interest. (Hear, hear.) Mr - BENETI (Wiltshire) said a few words. Sir R. FERGUSON said that from all lie had heard he believed the landed proprietors were too much alarmed. Indeed, he and his Honourable Friends near him were like those interested in the linen or other trades—they admired the liberal policy of Govern. ment so long as their own particular interests were not interfered with. The landed proprietors were now, be thought, fighting their own shadow, as he was convinced that the quantity of rum im ported could not in the least effect the British corn growers. (Hear, hear.) In the same manner he looked on it as a mere chimera to apprehend any thing from the probable importation of about 100,000 quarters of wheat front Canada. For these reasons he should oppose the amendment. An Hon. MEMBER, whose name we could not ascertain, made a few observations. . . . Mr. T. WILSON thought there were no grounds for saying that any peculiar favour had been shown to the West India Colonies. A heavy duty had always been imposed on their sugar, and he was convinced that if the duty were lower, the comsumption would be muck roster. A great falling off bad taken place to the price of West India sugar; that which once produced 455. now brought but 231. After • few words from Mr. 'WESTER'S', the House divided, when there appeared, for the amendment, Ayes, - 431 Noes, - 81 Majority in favour of the original Resolution, 38 The House then resumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. COBB AT LYME REGIS. Mr. BROGDEN brought up the Report of the Committee of Supply on the question that 32,0081. be granted for the repair of the Cobb at Lyme Regis. Mr. HUME moved as an amendment, that before any addi. timid sum be granted for that purpose, an humble address be pre sented to his Majesty, praying that he issue'a Commission to in quire into the expediency of the grant, also to ascertain how far the public money hitherto expended on that harbour has been useful. This amendment was negatived without a division. Two other Resolutions of the Committee were agreed to. EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND. - . On the question that a sum not exceeding 30,0001. be granted to facilitate eutlgration from Ireland to Cauitda, Ale. HUM E opposed th'c grant. He did not think it fair that England and. Scotland should be taxed to enable the Irish poor to emigrate, particularly when the grant was applied to a few favoured districts. The Honourable Member moved, as an amend. ment, that previous to any additional grant being madefor that pur. pose, a Select Committee be appointed to see how far the grants hitherto mado'have been productive of beneficial results ; and also which wan the moat advantageous place to promote emigration. Mr. W. fIOICFON defended the grant. If the Honourable Member knew the number of applications from Ireland, he would not oppose the grant. Mr. CA LCRA FT thought the more encouragement was given to emigranta,the more candidates there would be for it. For his own part he disliked emigratiaa, inasmuch as it deprived the country of what i s., THE BRITISH PRESS. ought to be its best r;clies, namely its population. He hoped the measure would be withdrawn, as vicious in principle. The House then divided, when there appeared for the amendment, Ayes, 19—Noes. 62—Majority in favour of the Grant, 43. On our return to the Gallery we found 3lr. G. LAMB opposing the original Resolution. Mr. Secretary PEEL maintained its expediency. Sir F. BURDETT opposed the Resolution, and contended that the poverty of Ireland was mischievous in the extreme in its conse quences towards England, and that tampering with it by the mode now proposed was but holding forth to the people of that country a temporary relief, while it was, in fact, aggravating the evil. Mr. Secretary PEEL again repeated his objections to colonize. lion upon a large scale, without torming a state of society which might relieve the settlers, with any prospect of success to them or benefit to the country. Mr. W. HORTON defended the system adopted by his Ma jesty's Government. Settlers were sent out at 201. a-head ; and, although he was convinced nothing effectual could be done without the co-operation of the people, yet he thought, when the expense was so small, It might be proper to asccrtait. by a small scale how far it could be successful on a more extended one, and whether it was productive of real utility. Sir H. PARNELL was favourable to colonization to a certain extent. Mr. R. MARTIN said the project of colonization was princi pally useful, because the people of property in Ireland seeing the settlers, by the assistance of Government, comfortable and happy in Canada, might be tempted to embark their capital in the same speculation. The Resolution was then agreed to. PROTESTANT CHARTER SCHOOLS. On the Resolution that 6,0001. be granted for the Children of the Protestant Charter Schools in Ireland, Sir F. BURDETT asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland (Mr. Goulbum) if this was not the last Grant which would be required for that purpose? Mr. GOULBURN said be could not take upon himself to say it was the last Grant, &Mauch he expected it would next year be materially reduced. Theft were at present 2,000 children, and some moneys must be pll6 until they were all got rid of. The Resolution was then agreed to. SOCIETY FOR DISCOUNTENANCING VICE. On the Resolution that 2,0001. be granted to the Society for Dis countenancing Vice, Mr. DENMAN objected to any sum being granted to a Society under that name. 'There was enough of money collected for such purposes, from the pockets of individuals, without applying to Go vernment. Sir H. PARNELL considered the Society as merely calculated to make proselytes. After an observation front Sir J. SEBRIGHT the House di. , vided, when there appeared-- For the Resolnuon, 271 Against It, 14 Majority, 13. FOUNDLING HOSPIT AL. The Resolution for granting 4,000/. for the support of the Found ling Hospital, in Dublin, after a few words from 51r. Hunt, Mr. GOULBURX, Mr. HODHOUSE, and Mr. Secretary PEEL, was agreed to. SCHOOLS PARTLY SUPPORTED BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS. A sum of 4.0001. British will voted to complete the Grants for Schools partly supported by voluntary contributions in Ireland. PUBLIC WORKS EN IRELAND. A sum of 43,3001., British, was voted for the service of the Crown, for various public works in Ireland. COURT OF KING'S BENCH BILL. The Order of the Day for the third reading of the Court of King's Bench 1311 l was read. Mr. PEEL begged leave to correct a mistake which bad arisen on a fintrrer occasion. He had stated that the•retired salaries of the Lord Chancellor of England and the Lord Chancellor of Ireland were the same. He should have observed that that of the Irish Chancellor was in Irish currency; it therefore only amounted to 3,6001. and not 4,000/. Upon the suggestion of Me. HOBHOUSE the third reading of this and the other Bills relating to the Salaries of the Judges was postponed to Friday next. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Two. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THIS DAT. NOTICES OF 1110TIONS.

The Paris Papers of Saturday are exceedingly barren. They contain neither news nor speculation worth extract ing excepting that which relates to the Greeks. The correspondence of the Journal des DeLats an nounces that another important victory has been gained by the"l'atriots. lßasun ( Pacnt, it appeareby this ac count, despairing of success in his invasion of the Morea, had determined to abandon his enterprise and return to Candia. He had embarked for eight, but was becalmed; the Greek fleet under MIAULIS came upon him and the Greek hero CANARIS threw himself into the midst of the Egyptian vessels and burned them. The loss of 'the Ma hometans was immense. The whole coast was illuminated with the conflagration. Seventy shipt were destroyed or captured, and it was believed that I BRA/1161 PACTIA him self had perished in the general catastrophe. A report was current at Constantinople, that his father, the Viceroy of Egypt, had died suddenly, but it 'is probable that if this fact were true, we should have had the intelligence direct from Alexandria. [From the Etolle dated Sunday, June 121 PARIS, Jtrlfr IT. Extract ftom the proets verbal of the ceremonies of the coronation of his Majesty Charles X. On Monday, 30th May, at ten o'clock in the morning, the foreign Ambassadors and Ministers paid their respects to the King and the Royal Family. His Excellency the Apostolic Nuncio complimented the King in the name of the Diplomatic Body, in these terms : " Sire—The Diplomatic Body, deeply affected by the august ceremony which they have just witnessed, and by all the moiler. tions that it calls forth, hastens to offer to your Majesty the tribute of their felicitations. " After beg reverses followed by events so marvellous, that we should in vain endeavour to explain them by purely human causes, one of the Kings, your predecessors, received in this ancient city the holy unction which had flowed on the forehead of Clovis. " Tried, Sire, by greater misfortunes,but which neverahook your Royal Soul, Providence has conducted you in a manner no less marvellous to the foot of the same altar where Charles VII. again took possession of this glorious crown, the splendor of which is still heightened by your virtues. " In seeing religion, which alone consolidates thrones, conse crate the beginning of your reign, Europe participates in the hopes which France has conceived of It, at the same time that it joins with it in forming the most ardent wishes for the happiness of your Majesty, which is inseparable from the public felicity, which finds , Sire, the surest pledge in your wisdom, your goodness, and your noble character." The King answered— " Sir,—On an occasion so interesting to religion and the mo. narchy, I am happy to see myself surrounded by the representation of all the Sovereigns of Europe ; I am very sensible to all that yen have just said to me in the name of the Diplomatic Body. I have the firm confidence that tills august ceremony will promote the hap_ ! pines, of my people, and 1 shall use all my efforts to maintain the pears. and harmony which at present subsist between all the Powers. I hope that God will bless my efforts; we can do nothing without hint. Gentlemen, I beg you to make known to your masters the sentiments by which I am animated, and my gratitude for the in. terest they have taken in my Coronation." At the breaking up of the Diplomatic Meeting. M. de !Alive delivered in the King's name the Coronation Medal to the Foreign Ambassadors and 31inisters. [From ths Journal des Debate or Saturday.) Pants, JrNE 10. The following letter, written yesterday from Harm, has been communicated to us:— " I hasten to communicate to you a piece of newt highly interest ing to the French merchants, and which we received to-day by way of Jaeqmel. " English goods Imported Into Haiti, are to pay henceforth a duty of 12 per cent., that is, the same as all other nations. Coffee exported from the ports of the Republic, is to pay only 211 gourdes and 40 cents. instead of 39, which it paid before, the territorial duty included. 1 ; Haitians at length se* their error; they have long I that they were protected by the EnglLO', but the last application they made to that nation torecolmize their independence having been unsuccessful, they have resolved not to favour it more than others. Ally this last act, which is entirely io favour of the French Merchants, at length open the eyes of our Ministry."

The Greeks are once more victorious ; both officers and men have contributed another page to the history of the regeneration of Greece. Peter Marromichalis, Marrocordato (whom the (Mental Spectator wished to render suspected), Constantine Botzaris, Anat. ',restores, 'Andrew Metaxas, and a crowd if brave Greeks, afar having overcome the Egyptians who landed in the Peloponnessus, l had succeeded in driving them on board the squadron, near Mcdtn, and in which I brahim-Patha, reduced to despair, proposed to em. bark from so fatal a country. Ills vessels then at anchor at the Island of Sapienza, accordingly, on the 10th, drew near to land, and the whole of the 11th was occupied in taking in all the troops ; wound ed, and baggage they possibly could. On account of a N.W. wine, blowing in his teeth, Admiral Mauna was not able to impede their manceurres ; but the wind having abated, and shifting to the South, the hero of Greece, Constantine Canaris, who commanded the vanguard in a fire-ship, in the middle of the night sailed into the midst of the Egyptian fleet, and it was soon perceived that he had succeeded in grappling with a frigate of the enemy's. Two other fire.ships were equally fortunate, and the fire having spread, the conflagration illumined Cabrera, the Greek island, Sapienza, and the ptecipices of Mount Egialeus. The sight row became truly terrible; on all sides were seen vessels grappling, runhing foul, flying, and sinking, mingled with the shrieks of soldiers and sailors in the burning vessels. Several ships, however, succeeded in gaining the open sea, and it is from six de. maged transports just arrived in our port that we received the first news of the grand disaster experienced by the Mahometans, whom i dea l s estimated to amotmt to nearly seventy vessels wrecked, burnt, and sunk. The west was covered with fires, and it wan thought that Ibrahim Paella had perished in this frightful catastrophe. In another column we have the satisfaction to comes. nicate exclusively the official ratification of the last Creel loan. This important document was received yesterday. It arrives at a happy moment, accompanied or rather pre ceded by the tidings of victory. The public faith thus solemnly pledged by the legislators of Gt}ece, was all that was requisite to raise its credit to a level with that of any other just and independent state. Its resources are amply sufficient to bear the charges which its struggle for national existence has entailed upon it. The unprincipled coin bination by which the Greek Scrip has been depretsed, must now cease to have effect; and we confidently anticipate that before the remaining instalments arc called for, it will entirely overcome the opposition to which alone its decline bas been attributable. The Abstract of Returns printed by the order of the House of Commons respecting the payment of the wagts of labour out of the poor rates, is a document of consider , able importance. In another part of the paper we have given a statement of the usual rate of wages in the several counties of England. 11'•'e observe with much pleasure that the number of unemployed labourers asking for as sistance from the parish, is much diminished within the last few years. This is a gratifying proof of the improve ment of agricultare. The pernicious practice of paying the labourers a part of their wages out of the poor rates, is continued in too many districts. The condition of the labourer is almost uniformly better in point of wages where he is left to his own unaided exertions. The ap pointment of select vestries and assistant overseers has teen generally beneficial. In a few instances, the result is doubtful, but the advantages in most of the experiments have been decidedly favourable. The rate of wages, it will be observed, is much the highest in the Northern counties, in which parochial relief is administered with much more regard to its proper application, than in other parts of the country. Married labourers receive no allowance for their children except in case of illness, or where the families are extraordinarily large. The peasantry, we know, are there as comfortable and happy as their situation in life will permit them to be. Improvident marriages seldom occur; and the labourers have a just pride in preserving their characters from the degradation of pauperism. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Although the business in the British Funds was exceedingly limited ; prices were by no means heavy ; having even improved upon the advance that took place on Friday. Consols for the opening were done at 901 91, and the Reduced Annuities at 90, 89j 90. The transactions in the Foreign Market were, for the greater part, confined to Spanish Stock, which maintained itself firmly notwithstanding the official announcement of the Loan has not been made, and the efforts that are using by a ce , -taln party to hare it understood that no loan is negotiated for. However, some large purchases were made in the Bonds of 1821, at 244 1, and in those of 1823 at 194. Greek Scrip continued at Friday's quotation, 19, 114 discount, and the Bonds were 46, 8. Danish Scrip was a shade better ; the last quotation of it was 3.4 4 discount. Brazilian ditto, was discount. Colombian Bonds were at 86, and Mexican Scrip at si di,count. The Shares were generally better ; but the business was not ex. tensive. Some bargains were done in Pasco Peruvian Sham at H, 12; in the New Potosi at 64 ; in those of the General Mining Association at 12, 13 ; and in the United Mexican Shares at 24, 6. The William and Henry and the Georgiana have arrived from Grenada, but the letters and papers they bring are of old dates. The Milan Gazette of ➢lay 28th is chiefly occupied with long accounts of the visits ot the Emperor and Empress of Austria to the various public Institutions of all kinds, and a description of a splendid ball given by the city in honour of their Majesties, on the 26th, in the Theatre della Scala, which was fitted up with great magnificence for the oc casion. By accounts received yesterday from Navarre, it appears that at St. Ander there has been a very serious disturbance. The troops forming the garrison being in absolute want of the necessaries of life, assembled tumultuously and com mitted the greatest excesses, crying—" Down with the absolute King, down with the clergy, down with the Go veinment." The Authorities interfered, and succeeded, after making concessions, and promising their interference with the State to procure redress for their actual grievances, in inducing them to retire ; but in the night several officers, and some merchants, suspected of taking part in the affair, were arrested, and immediately sent to Valladolid, to await their destiny. Since the withdrawing of the dis posable French army, the Constitutionalists show them selves in several parts of Spain particularly in Valsneis, Gallacia, and the neighbourhood of Sarragossa. The limitation of the subscription at Liverpool for a piece of plate to be presented to Mr. Huskisson, having been removed, a further subscription is going on. Several individuals and associations have put down 100 guineas each, and the amount subscribed for exceeds 2870 L The anniversary festival of the Masonic Institution for clothing, educating, and apprenticing the eons of deceased.

His Modal Highness the Duke of Sussex presides, and the Mar quis of Hastings hassignified his intention of being present. The meeting is not confined solely to the Masonic breth ren, therefore any one desirous of supporting ao excellent an institution maT attend. ' The Duke of 1 arentum (Marshal Macdonald) was yes tenlay evening, during the debate, introduced into the House of Lords, near the throne, by Sir T._Tyrwhitt. lie surveyed the House with great attention, and expressed his gratibcation to Lord Beresford, who pointed out to bhp the principal Peers then in the House.
