'some of the truest criteriems of the increased finan cial prosperity of a country. But the fact was, that Right Hon. Gentleman could not have made an appeal to the duties , on there commodities with out doing a prejudice to the case lie was anxious to make out. or without drawing the attention of the House to it subject which would have at mice ex plained the actual state of things. By referring to those duties, he had discovered, that although they had been previously augmented with a s;ew, smolt calculation of the Bight Hon. Gentleman's, to increase the revenue oil whams to 140,0001. more then it had previously been, and upon spirits to 3(10,0001.; yet. in the first. the augmentation did not exceed 9.0001., in the second it did trot exceed 17.000/.. These results were in themselves suffi cient to chew to the House that the picture of the state of Ireland, drawn by the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Excheiluer. was not by ■ssy means a faithful deliiseattun, and that h►', in esti mating the progreesive prokperity of that country, had proceeded on grounds altogether fallacious. The CH a NCEL LO a of the Excuxoust said, that although he did not see it expedient to enter into ',articular details on the subject now, he had •aa %uiue hopes the projected amendments woi;ld prove acceptable to the Howse and the Irish people. ARTILLERY DRIVERS CORPS. In reply to a question from Mr. BENNETT. as to the intentions of Government with respect to the claims of the eight `companies dr Artillery ;)rivers, reduced upon the late peace-- The CHANCRLLOR of the Excnequak stated, that he had consulted the best-informed official petsous as to the were of these chitin% if such they might be denominated, from whom he had collected that the supposition of their having strong chants vu Government for remuneration was altogether without foundation. Mr. Bannire then gave notice, he 'should on Thursday move for an Address to his Royal High 'uess the Prince Regent, relative to the subject of these claims. On the motion of the CHANCRLLOR of the EX CHNOUSI, it WOO agreed, that the House, at its rising, should adjourn to Monday. The CHANCELLOR of the Exensoultn regretted, that as there had been business of very considerable importance fixed for this day, the ill-health of his 'Colleague (Lord Castlereagh) had deprived him of that assistance which was so requisite upon the dis. cussion of a motion of such importance, and of so much difficult calculation and restonisig. lie therefore hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman oppo site would do hint the favour to postpone his too lion on the finances of the country, which stood for this day, and fix on some other day which might be agreeable to himself in the conse of next week, fur the discussion—perhaps Tuesday or Thursday would he convenient. Mr. Traims felt himself placed in an swksrard situation, as to his iutrnded motion. There w as no person more disposed than himself to yield, in rases of ill health b to the convenience of other Gentleinen-..and, in conformity with the conduct he had hitherto pursued., he ishould not resist the solicitation of the Right Ho►►. Gesitletosii, and pot off his motion, which stood fob• this earning. Ile regretted it at the same time, as the motion had already been once deferred, and the Session was stow far advanced. He could not, howeaer, comply strictly with the request of the Right lion. Gentlemen, as the day he intended to fix for the consideration of his !notion must be either this day, or a day still later than that proposed by the Bight Hon. Gentleman himself; he should there fore propose, though with great reluctance he as sented to putting it off so long, that the question should Le argued on Friday next. But even this lie should not assent to, hut upon the understand ing that the Right Hon. Gridlemon should pm off his motion, and let it follow histiet order—owl fur ther, that should the Noble Lord not be perfectly reinstated io his health by the time prescribed, the debate should nevertheless be guise ►nto ou that day. The CHANCELLOR of the Excimausi, though hr could have wished to have the question discussed on *ono! earlier day. nevertheless agreed to the pro posiiion upon the understanding intimated. Mr. TIERNEY wished it also to he understood, that as he had held no communication ton the sub- jeer with other Gentlemen, that he had only spoken, in making this concession, as for Ii i eee self exclusively, it being a que►tion which branched out into very many topics. After• few words from Mr. S. T-HORMTON and Mr. GiILNFELL. Mr. TIERNEY hoped his Honourable Friend would take a day exclusively for the consideration of the motion lie had in view respecting the trans. actions of this country in a financial point of view. Mr. Gams FELL alluded to that motion as likely to come on upon Tuesday. Mr. THORNTON said hr hoped the elation alluded to would ►rot conic on so soon as 'l'trrrtla}•, at he might, perhaps, be out of town. Even another twenty-four hours more distant might be so object or considerable importance. Mr. Bxtvigsw said that he, for one, owed oto obligation on the score of concession to the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Thornton). and he should not feel it incumbent out him to dissuade his Hon. Friend front proceeding ou 'Tuesday. The Hank Restrict . Act Continuance Bell was ordered to be read a second time ou Friday next. Mr. BABINHTON presented a Petition from the parish of St. Mary-le-boor, praying that the rates of wa ter might be rendered fixed ; which, biter au ol►- serval from Mr. WARRE, was read and ordered to be printed. BR EACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. WYNN brought up tlie Report of the Coop mirtre of Privileges, which stated, that the Co m• mittee, having examined into the arse of the al leged interference of a Peer in the elect' of Member of that House, the Committee had to re port, that the letter respecting such illicit mid cor rupt ititerference, had been established from the confession of Thomas Ferguson. ro be the writing and compo‘ition of the mid Thomas Ferguson, and had been uddremed to Wm.

The Report being read a second time, . Mr. Winn, moved, that the said Thomas Fei• guson be taken into custody by the Serjeatit at Arms. which was agreed to wem. roe. ; and the said Thomas Ferguson wits then ordesed, when ap prehended, to be lodged in Newgate, duriug the pleasure of the House. COUNTRY BANK NOTES BILL. `On the 'notion of the CHAPICELLOiCuf the Ex- THEQUIR, the second reading of the Country Baulk Notes Bill was postponed until 51onday se'unight. COMMITTEE OF SUI'PI.Y. The CHANCELLOR of the ExcncuuEa moved the postponement of the Committee of Supply Id Mondry next. Mr. BA NIKES opposed the postponement, purpose of briuging up the Report of the tee upon the proposed purchase of the the late Dr. Burney. Mr. STURGES BOURNS hoped the Ft her would not persist in his objectio►►. as the Poor's I.swo A►neuilmrot Bell before' which would not admit of further delay. Mr. Cuitieitm said, that should the Hon, he► persist in opposing the'poltponeit`tent, divide the House upon the question, as the state of di,tress in which many parts of the country . were now involved, required the immediate application Of the heading hand of the Legislature. The 'Howse then divided, when there appeared forpostponing the Committee of Supply- 7 Ayes Noes 3 Majority 44 On our re-admission int. the gallery we found Mr. GREN'rEI.I I addressing the House. He ft.* quested to know of his I-1 ruble. Friend (Mr. Booties) whether it was the iiitention of the Finance Coairnittee to gu into the consideration of the sum clargeil by the Bank to the public fur the triune tion of AS affairs? He had heard such 'had been their intention, rod could ,never have been inilticed to this& that the Finance Committee would hive passed over so great an item as that of the charge made by the Bank to the public. The immediate necessity of this investigating was obvious, and he would, therefore, again ask cf the Right (lon. Gentleman opposite, or of the t'lluirmais Of 'the Committee of Finance, if the subject was shortly to undergo discussion? fie bad heard it stated, that the Right Honourable Gentleurni had, at last, determined on the propriety of taking up this subject himself, no doubt for the porpose of pre venting its bring inquired into above stairs in the Finance Committee. He was sorry to hear it ; for though the Right Honourable Gentleman might he desirous to reduce some of the charges made by the Bank fur so ninny years against the public, still he thought the subject would he best handlyil by the Committee, as every one knew that an exam.- nation by the 31iniater ill Downing -street, anti mm before a Committee of the House, did not produce the same elects.—(A /,.ugh.)--That Right Honourable Gentleman, in fact, was not, nor eier hail been, a match 14• the Bank. This opinion had been the deduct' and result of four years attention to the subject, and be was decidedly of mansion, that if justice was now door to the public a 'tieing might be effected of 900,000/. per ottani'. a !Mil exceeding that of Y 50,000/. for ivhich the Chancellor of the Exchequer heti taken credit to himself, is arising out of the profits of the System of the ,11,ottery, against which so Many protests had been Made in that House as well as out of it. Mr. )3Amses said; that in the coitittiunieation which he had on the subject with his lion. Friend, he hid admitted the subject Was one upon which the Committee °tight to have entered. lie thought so still, though he perhaps did not think so Saa guisiely of the benefit likely to be derived (ruin that interference as the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Grenfell!. It might have been recollected by hint, that he hail stated on a former occasion, that a great public benefit might have been derived to the (mory, had the late Chancellor of the Exchequer ( ~lr. Perceval) availed himself of the advice and assist ance of the Fmance Committee, whereby a m u ch better b4rgniii might have been concluded for the public with the Baud', on a late memorable oc casion. l'he question was put, that the llouse resolve it self into a Committee of Supply on Nlinalsy mat, which waP agreed to. TRANSACTIONS OF Tiff BANK. Mr. GRENFELL gave notice. vssice lie could ob tain no satisfactory assurance as to the intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman on the Committee to interfere in r case which so eminently deinaiiileil examination and scrutiny, that lie should, on Tiles day week, move fur is Committee fur the spreific consideration of the transactions of the Batik with the public, similar to that motion which lie had submitted in the two Srssioos preceding to the consideration of the House.—Notice accordingly. A new writ was ordered fur the Borough of Var. mouth, in the Isle of Wight, fur a Burgess to serve in this present Parhanuent in the room of John Leslie Foster, Esq. who since his election had accepted the office of Counsel to the Revenue iii Ireland.

BANKES. the *beyond reading of the l'earchape of Wane Bill was post poned until Monday next, able-bodied men were not entitled to parochial relief in the manner generally supposed. Mr. STURGES BoultNn said, that another Bill war intended to give effect to that principle. Mr. N. CALVERT also thought some alteration should take place in the clause which took children from their parents, to afford them parochial assist ance. Mr. S. BOURNE replied, that it was not intended to remove children without the consent of their parents ; but to take charge of them for the pur pose of instructing them in useful work, and sup porting them so long as their parrots could not af ford them maintenance. Mr. HOLME SUMNER was very Noxious that the lion. Gentleman (Mr. S. Bourne) would throw xplanatory hints of the main objects of iout going into details. se then resolved itself into a Committee, observations from Mr. Mules, General Huskissou and Sir C. Mouck. then proceeded to read the clauses seriatim. On reading that which mimed of parochial fees, for the erection , and the procuring certain land , meat of paupers who were able to .BERT proposed, as an Amendment, that these words should be added—" and with the consent of Such majority of the inhabitants, and two-thirds in value of copyhold and leasehold pro prietors, having a certain term." Mr. S. Bockisst had no objection to the Amend abent—lie wished, however, to say, that lie had fasted the Bill according to all precedeuts. Sir C. Monett was against this mode of mort gaging the rates; it went to divert the property from its preseid use, and to make a future genera tion pay for the relief afforded to the present. Mr. S. BOURNE said, dint the lion. Baronet's argument, if admitted, would go the length of f,reventing the building nf any work-houses; for these. of course, continued for the interests of the I parish, and the parochial funds were devoted to pay ' the charge of their hnilding often for a cOusiderable reriod. Mr. floLoswoene.iipproved cf a subdivision of single lots of laud fur the employment of the poor. , Mr. S I CURoEs BOURNE approved of this plan, which had been for souse time in practical Mier. ation. kind had been let out its quarters of acres to iudustriou' people, on the condition of their not applying for parochial relief. This was found to he a very salutary regulatiau. Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS and Lord COMPTON approved of it. Sir CHAS. MONCK repeated his opinion against inortgeging the Poor's Rates. This was of all others the last tax that ought possibly to be so de voted. As to the propusitiou for providing land 10 make industrious labour productive, lie looked upon it as au assuniption of that which was iu itself contradiction to the whole tenor of this Bill ; for if the labourer he so prone to industry as this chore supposes, he will have no necessity of throwing himself for support on the parochial funds. ,The ,amended clause Was then adopted. bas the clause being read to render the owners of bailees leased fur less than is year. on a rent not exceeding 201. oar less than 4/. per year, to Imola went by au equal pound-rate, after a deduction not exceeding one-third of the same— Mr. Lrrtat.TON expressed his determination to talke the sense of the [louse on the clause. .Gen. Tnuitueou.was decidely against it. Mr. STUROES BOURNE was very much mistaken .if it was not a measure of justice and necessity. Sir C. Morsel& was of opii t i )))) , that, to extend the assessments to the Owners from the tenants, was snore)' of varialice with the great principle of the Poor Laws, iiiid contrary to the enactments of our an cestors, who, from 'cuninion seise and feeling, could have been altogether ignorant of political eco nomy; though nut than stu died as a science. and instead of effecting a reduction in the I'nor Rate's, was likely both to increase the number of the Poor and the pressure of the rink Mr. WROTTESLE4 was of opinion that the clause might be qualified. Mr. N. CALVERT thought, that, considering the great losses of the landlord, from Larioas causes, the rates of such liouies should hid exceed one half the, rent. Mr. PHILLIPS thought the Annie, under all the circumstances, entirely objectionable. After some further discussion participate) in by Mr. Comm Sir C. Monck, Loid C ptuis, Sir C. Mordainit, Mr. F.

Several verbal stnetwlnrento were made.

Mr. CuItWEN brought up a clause for enabling the overseer, of the poor to extend relief to the wirer of mariners, who may be abbess' at sea. on the merchant service.—This clause was adopted. The (louse was then reassured, the Report re ceived, and ordered to be taken into further consi derat' on Tuesday next.

(Front the Bengal Hurkarv, of N0v.22) The chief article of intelligence, which has this week reached us, is the new attitude which matters have suddenly assumed on the western side of the Peninsula. It appe•rs that acts of (motility have been committed against a division of British troops at Poonah, and that a large force, in horse, is as sembling in that quarter. In consequelice, the di vision of Colour! Lionel Smith, intentlial for an other service, had marched upon Poonah—the movements of the troops on the Nerbudda have beau influenced by these occurrences. IVe base pleasure to state, that his Excellency Sir Thomas Hislop joined the army at Gurdalt on the 10th instant. His Excellency hail directed that three troops of cavalry sod a battalion of infantry should march from Husseinabad for Nagpore, for the se curity of that capital. In consequence, tits Ist battalion 22d regiment native infantry and three troops of the 6th cavalry, with the gallopers of the regiment, would march on the 12th, under Lieut.- tolonel Gahan, for Nagpore. It was expected the reinaiuder of the Hussetuabad force would cross the Nerbuddii on the 14th, with the exception of the let battalion 10th regiment, which would remain at that station. The contingent of the Berar Rajah amounts to 3,000 horse and 2.000 foot, end was assembled in the vicinity of Nagpore preparatory to marching on service. Thia force is under the superintendence of Major Agnew. The Madras battalions are cautoned on very high ground, about three miles from the Residency, and the detach ment of the Itth regiment Bengal native cavalry, about seven miles, ma the slope of a hill. Much rain had fallen in that quarter in the beginning of this mouth. . lime right, of the army, under Major-General Dosikin, arrived at Dliolimor on the* 9th. On the opposite side of the chunibeil, a small guard of Scindia's troops were stationed. The division un der General Doniciet remained at Dhulpoor on the 12th, but it was expected that it would move on the 13th, keel.ing ,along the left bank of the Chunibul. AVltetlier it 'night afterwards proceed towards Jspore, or to the southward, appeared uncertain. The corps compusipg tips iliviwoo are very strong. His Majesty's 14th foot, 950 rank and file, 6th dragooos and Ist native cavalry, 600 each; three complete Sepoy battiii.oor, 1,400 Gard- tier's horse, and 1,200 Bliortpore. Sire have receiveal a melancholy account of the fatal tileetv of the prevailing epidemic in the cells try division of the army. It is stated that 400 natives had fallen a sacrifice to it in two days, our has it be-n there confined to the natives ; eight Europeans had fillets victims to it. Letters of the 16th mention, that alter a rather long march the preceding day, many Europeans had been attacked, and that the whole road during the march was strewed with dead and dying natives. Au officer remarks, " I cm fortunate in having lost ouhy two servants." Tlie accounts of the 17th are still more afflicting. The number of deaths reported on that day amount ed to 500 natives, and -29 Europeans. Only two officers had been attacked, and had speedily reco vered. The chief mortality was among the camp followers and the Sepoys accustomed to poor fare. Laitilimum, with brandy. was g enerally successful when administered in time, and calomel completed the cure. The following statement of mortality from this disease., ninny years ago, is said to rest on high medical authority : At one of the great Mullahs held at Ilurdwar, every twelfth year, in the month of April, a sudden blast of cold air from ►he hills, which came down the course of the Ganges, pro duced so fatal and violent a cholera morbus, that twenty thousand persons perished in the course of three or four days. Great as this number is, it will not appear incredible, ►then it is known that nearly a million of people are suppo►ed to be collected. In common years the number at the fair is estimated at 300,000.
