RICHARD HARVEY in the Chair. The Committle have the . pleasing task of announcing to the Public, that they have received from the Most Noble the Marquis of Salisbury, and the Right Hon. the Lord Bersaford, the Sum of THREE THOUSAND POUNDS, being the proceeds of the Ball which took place on Friday evening last, under the especial patronage of his Majesty and the Royal Family, togethei with an intimation that, upon a final settlement of the accounts, a further balance may probably be remitted. The Committee feel it to be their duty to tetcrn thanks, in the name of the poor l'reavers, whose patience under extreme distress has deservedly excited sucl general coMmiscretion, to those Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, under the auspices ot his Most Gracious Majesty, have benevolently exerted themselves on the present occasion, anti with such signal success. As the Distress, through want of employment, sull continua to la most lamentable degree, the Committee earnestly appeal to the benevolence of those who have in their power the means of miti. gating the Distresses ors() large a body of their fellow.creatures, as are the Silk Weavers of Spitallields, and trust that they shall not plead in vain.

A CHARGE in the PROPRIETARY of this Paper having recently taken place, it has been deemed necessary to announce this fact to the public; and to add, that in consequence of new arrange. ments, such an accession of talent has been obtained, as must, it is presumed, Insure to this Journal a very considerable in crease of that patronage which it has hitherto enjoyed. With regard to Politics, the object of the NEW PROPRIEI'OIIB is constitutionally and consistently to support those liberal prin ciples which have hitherto influenced the conduct of his Ma jesty's Government. and which have tended so essentially to in. crease the splendor of the British Empire. The venerated Ecclesiastical Establishment of these Realms will, at the same time, be firmly upheld in this Journal, and its lute. rests strenuously advocated. The NEW Pat:m.lllEl'oas also pledge themselves, that the Parliamentary, Legal, and Police Reports, shall be correct and ample; the Literary Contributions classical and select; and its Miscellaneous Intelligence early and authentic. The BRITISU PRESS commenced pubbahrag yesterday arming at rive o'clock. LONDON, THURSDAY, May 18, 18R6. The Ftoik of the lath lust. has arrived. The para graphs which we have extracted relative to the affairs of Turkey are of very great importance. It appears from them that the Porte is determined to comply neither with the demands of Russia, nor to accept the mediation of England; and there seems now no resource but the voie de Pit. It is to be hoped, however, that the mere demon stration of hostile intentions on the part of Russia, and the tone which our force in the East warrants us in taking with the Pacha of EGYPT, will be sufficient even now to force the Porte to come to some more favourable con clusion. We learn from Avignon that the late frosts in that quarter have been very prejudicial both to the mulberry and the vine. The crop of silk, in consequence of this, is expected to be very scanty this season on the banks of the Rhone; a circumstance which must prove very detri mental to the French manufacturers, in consequence of the depressed state of the market for silk goods in that country. [From the Efoik, dated May 16.] CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 20. As these was every reason to expect, the Porte has rejected all the proposals of Mr. Stratford Canning in favour of the Greeks. This powerful intervention is therefore probably reduced to no. thing, at least as far as concerns the way of negotiation. The Reis Effendi has refused to agree to any concession as to the Russian ultimo:um. We shall doubtless soon see what will be the result of this. APRIL 22. (Bs' ixrntss.) The Reis Effendi has given to SI. Minziacky, doubtless as a preliminary answer, this remarkable declaration, " That the Porte could not make any answer before it had consulted its allies, re specting the important demand of Russia." Every body asks who these allies may be, since there is not to our knowledge any atria -1 tian power bound to the Porte by an offensive and defensive Mil -1 once. This answer is considered as evasive, and merely calculated Ito gala time, and people are anxious to see how Al. Al inziacky will proceed trader these circumstances. PARIS, MAY IS.

We mentioned briefly, in our Journal of yesterday, that our neighbours in France were beginning to talk of the low price of corn. As everything connected with this subject is really of paramount interest at the present mo ment, we are induced to give the public an account of what took place on this important question in the French Cham ber of Deputie; on Friday last. The fanners of the department of the Aisne complained in a petition of the low price of corn. They required that measures should be taken to keep it at such a rate as might reconcile the interests of the grower with those of the con sumer. The reporter from the Committee, to whom peti tions are referred before they can be received by the Cham ber for discussion, profaned that this petition should be sent to the Minister of the Interior. On this proposal being made, General SEBASTIAN' said that the corn growers in the department which he represented were in a situation which deserved every attention on the part of the Government. Ile was therefore desirous that their petition should be sent, not only to the Minister of the Interior, but also to the President of the Council. In England, a similar question had become the subject of an inquiry, which had produced the happiest results. It was true, he said, that Parliamentary inquiries were rot much in use in France, but it was in the power of the Minister to order one ; and therefore he should persist in moving that tb• petition be referent both to the Minister of the Interior and to the President of the Council. M. DE PUVISAURIN thought it was impossible to increase the selling price of corn, and he accordingly voted against sending the petition ' to the President of the Council of Ministers. M. De BERBIS remarked, that the Committee on the Budget was occupied with anxious solicitude in considering the state of suffering in which their agricultural interest was at present placed.' It had at the same tint:, pointed out (added the Hon. Member) the only efficacious remedy to be adopted, by throwingout a hint that the importation-duty on foreign corn should be increased. He therefore profited by the oc casion which then presented itself, to press the Minister to present to the Chamber a project of law, which they knew was in readiness, and which might consequently be passed before the end of the present Session. M. RIC.SRD DU GARD maintained that the remedy for the evil, in his opi nion, consisted in enacting that, when the grain of the country should arrive at the same price with foreign corn, the latter should not be allowed to get out of the enlreputs, ! except in a proportion to be determined by the Govern ment. This singular proposition occasioned strong mani festations of dissent from different parts of the Cham ber, when Claire a PERRIER, with much eagerness, demanded to be heard. " Gentlemen," said the Honour able Member, " it is impossible to suffer the proposition just made to you to pass without reply. To say that, in this or the other case, those who have speculated in grain shall only deliver it out in a proportion arcm7- ing to the will of the Government, - it to advance a heresy destructive of all freedom of commerce. Where arc the consequences of such a principle to stop? Why should it not be the same with wines, oils, and all other products? And then, I ask, what would become of the freedom of trade?" M. Rica se explained, amidst the murmurs of the Chamber, and endeavoured to justify the proposition which he had uttered, and in which he persist ed. The principle which he had endeavoured to establish appeared to him much less subversive of the freedom of trade, than the generally admitted principle of prohibitory laws. After this rather curious conversation, the petition was referred, according to the motion of General SEBAS• TIANt, both to the Minister of the Interior and to the Pre sident of the Council. We are sorry that none of the Frenah Ministers spoke on this occasion, else we might have been able to have formed some judgment as to the opinion entertained by the Government of France on this important question. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The chief attraction in the Stock Markets this morning was in India Stock, which advanced to 2354 These were the first transactions reported in this security since the termination of hos tilities with die Burmese ; and the price it reached to.day shows the opinion of the purchasers of it as to the increased security of our Indian possessions, in consequence of that event. Our readers will recollect that the previous quotation of Indian Stock was 2211, 2211, making an advance of K per cent.

Among the paintings of the Dutch, Italian, and Flemish schools, to be sold by Mr. Phillips to-morrow, are many of a very superior class. The names of IlryNAts rs, DE HOOO, VANDERNEER, REMBRANDT, Teniers, Van Huy.rum, are secure of attraction ; and to these, the present collection adds many others of the first-rate celebrity. The splendid BOUQUET, in a vase, enriched by a bas-relief of Cupids, upon a marble slab, with a bird's nest near it, formerly in the Hesse Cassel collection, may be placed among the chef cfccuvres of this great artist. The Landscape, by DE Kornai°, representing a bird's eye view in the vicinity of Brussels, is a forcible and impressive delineation of nature. The small landscape by WYNANTS, with figures by A. V. Vstns, from St. Victor's collection, is a valuable specimen of this master; as is likewise the landscape, illumined by arising sun, by VA xmcaNtra. The rural scene by II oust m• has a ll that picturesque effect, and all those delightful associations of nature, which no one has given so happily or so often as himself. There are many other pictures of great excellence, to which we might advert, but they may be safely left to establish their own claims. EXHIBITION OF MR. MARSDEN*C PICTURE, IN TUE QUADRANT, REGENT-STREET. Mr. Marsden, a young artist of considerable promise, has now submitted to the public a large picture on a histo rical subject. Feeling deep interest in the development of national genius in the Fine Arts, we availed ourselves of ! an early opportunity of going to view this painting ; and, having formed our most deliberate and dispassionate judg raent upon it, we proceed to state our opinion to our readers, and to request them to verify or refute it by their own in spection. The subject selected is the faith of the Centurion, in pe titioning our Saviour to come and heal his servant (St. Matt. viii. 5). The choice of a subject is, in our opinion, perhaps the most essential preliminary step to the produc tion of a good picture, and we must say the artist has, in this respect at least, avoided the fault which, in litnine, often renders useless all the subsequent skill and labour of the painter. The subject here chosen combines an exem plification of several grand and elevated qualities, which are well embodied in the principal characters—divine dig nity, power, and condescension, on the one hand ; and humility and faith, on the other—well contrasted with the marks of worldly authority, contemplation, devotion, and earnestness, in one set of the attendant personages, and curiosity and doubt in the other. Here are the elements of a fine composition, and they are worked up in a design which is worthy of them. The grouping is excellent; and the expression, both of feature and attitude, is, in general, very correct and forcible. The figure and countenance of the Centurion is that which strikes us most ; and, next to' him, the group of disciples in the back ground, which (without intending any unmeaning compliment) we do not hesitate to say is truly Raphaelian. The failure (a point in which Raphael tailed) is in the head and face of our Lord ; the features do not convey an idea of adequate sub limity ; and the shape of the head is somewhat ungraceful, rising too much at the crown; but the tints are good and harmonious, and the draperies admirable:—the style of outline possesses a pleasing softness, and, upon the whole, the composition displays the hand fan artist who disdains to follow the outre absurdities into which so many painters of the day are prone to run, with the idea of producing novel'and striking effects, but is content to study and imi tate the models which the great fathers of the art have left us. The Duke of York transactamilitary business with the King yesterday. Mr. Secretary Canning was expected to arrive in town last night. Yesterday the Right lion. W. Huskisson entertained the Cabinet Ministers at dinner, at his house in Soulinet place. • GEItMAN PAPERS. • Aluxicrr, M AT 0.

DEBTOR AND CREDITOR ARRANGEMENT BILL The Debtor and Creditor Arrang.rme:A Bill was pad a third time and passed. e2ORN LAWS—IMPORTATION BILL The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved disorder of the day for the bringing up of the report of the Committee or to Importation of Foreign Corn Bill. On the question being put by the Speaker, Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said, that as this was the hot "yet. tunity he should have of making any observations on the mown before the House, he should avail himself of it, for the purposed saying a word or two. He felt that it was useless to oppose the measure, and he should not, therefore, interrupt It by adopt ing st.y.merely vexatious course. He was fully aware of the very large, respectable, and powerful majority, his Majesty's Mininen had commanded in that House, and he could not shut his eye, either to the equally strong support it hail received in another place. Under the circumstances lie should not press Ministers to ;drew pledge (for they had already given one), that rething which had been done in regard to this measure should hereafter prejudice the question of the Corn Laws. He should have called on them to have entered Into this pledge at this niome it, jibe did not understand all that had been said in this House and elsewhere to mean, that this measure was to answer • peculiar exigency, and was not a sampled( any measures Ministers contemplated carrying into effect next ses sion, when they stood pledged to make some alteration in the lan as they at present stood. The duty now proposed (and 1000,nm withstanding what might have been said to the contrary, betas. tended, was nt.t equal to that of 1822, when it was 175., it being now only 125.) was, he believed, to be considered as proposed to to here certain distresses; they did not mean it to prejudice the ral qoes:icm. There bad been efforts made in certain quarters so Intimidate him from pursuing the course he had; but Mesa, he must say, he despised. The opinion be had presumed, perhaps. to express, he had troubled the House with, because be thought It his duty to do so ; and nointimidations, however gross, personsl,er dangerous, could have induced him to have neglected it. The pet. sonality exhibited towards him, he would repeat, only excited his indignation and contempt. Having said this, he would tun tale up the time of the House by going into the question at its peewit stage ; he would only repeat, that he protested against soy fume proposition being grounded on that now before the House. He hoped Ministers would recollect a pledge to this effect had been given both in the face of the House and the country: and they cpuld not, at any after time, in justice to the House of thus ova characters, depart from it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no hearts. thin in saying, with respect to the mode in which the proceeding of this year bad been effected, that Ministers bad repeatedly given a pledge that it was not to be considered the foundatioo for say course to be pursued next year. To violate such a pledge would be the shabbiest possible departure from their engagements. Meets hear.) The measures they had proposed ought not, and could nee, prejudge the free discussion contemplated. With respect to the is timidatton referred to by the lion. Baronet, he (the Climatic , ' of the Exchequer) would say, that it was quite consistent with hie character to treat it as he had. Mr. H. SC 31 NER said, much as he admired the general me. duct of Ministers, he considered that, in proposing the measure be. fore the House, they had done what was neither wise as a mode of relief, nor properly conducted, if it was wise. He wished to say word, to explain why he had divided the House the other evening, th►t course basing been considered as vexatious. Hie object was to give time to his constituents to petition the House against going into a Committee on the Bills. A meeting did take place for this purpose on Saturday, but It was too late to effect what he desired. Sir R. lIERON made a few observations which were not audi ble. We understood him to say that the Bill would not do Wl* chief—it would be inoperative. He was, however, so opposed Ia it, that if he met with any encouragement, ho would now titilde the !louse. The Report was then brodght up and reed r, and the Bill eta ordered to be read a third time to-morrow, aid then engrossed. IVAREHOUSED CORN. On the question being put that the Report of the (lornmittee ea the Warehoused Corn Hill be brought up, Sir R. HERON said, he mutt object to a measure which. with out offering any advantage, would put so much into the pockets en the holders of bonded corn. It was a singular fact, that he cipal part of those benetined would be persons mating in Li verpool. Mr. HUSKISSON said, the Hon. Baronet seemed m ret r to him (Mr. Huskisson), as the Representative of Lirerps?L lie might just as reasonably charge the Hon. Baronet's opposition t° his being candidate for some great agricultural interest. Meer, hear, hear I) Mr. BEN ETT said he thought his lion. Friend sous! ustified in referring to Liverpool, when it was consititred that it held 110,0 41 0 quarters, which was the larger proportion of bonded corn. He objected to the Bill because. without offering any equivalent , 100,0001. would be lost to the country, and put into he the corn dealers. He should not object to the country lasing such sum, if it would relive the Cistre std, but lie did not think the Bill held out any such pro.pect. This Report was also brought I,p and read and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow, and then engrosse d. The Westminster Improvement Hill was then read a mood time. The Parochial Clergy Residents' Bill went through a Comenitt" The House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up to.morrow.
