Erogden and others, from the Commons, brought up Flee Market Hemoval gill, the Bankrupt !Awe Amendment Bill, the Combinariim haws Repeal Bill, the East India Ptomaine's Bill, and several Private Dille • all of which were rend a lint time. LANCASTER' COUNTY COURTS BILL. Lord El VFORD moved the emend reading of the lAneaster County Coons Bill. Li ve BEXLEY supported the measure, and hoped that it would receive their Lordships' sanction, as the great county of bancarter would, he was convinced, be materially beneti.ced by it. The !AMID CHANCELLOR thought the county of Lancaster might just as well wait till the next Scission of Parliament, as sure all the other mantles In England. Next y ear the general mea would be coneidered, and he was of opinion that there was nu ne amity for lowing this Dill now. Lord MALEY claimed fur the eminty of Lancaster a revision and extension of the operation of the old Court. Lord ELLENBOHOUGH did not ace why the meßerman. was was to be premed upon their Lordshi, ranee fur tbe ke fps county of Lancaster than any other county in England. There was a total difference between this Hill and the general nieasure on the subject which came up front the other House of Parliament some days once, and which their Lordships rejected, exceptmg in i)c e mom o bjectionable particular, 1 , 11. permitting persons to give cvotcrire in their own cause. The present being perfectly distil rui!ar, excepting in the point to which he had alluired, from the general measure, *hewed that the Enure of Commons had a dif ferent opinion, when they patent this BM, to w hat they had when they sent the former one for their Lordships' approbation. Unitaeneral prin s t heir lAnlallips were prepared to legislate upon the g., epic of allowing persona to be sworn in their own cause, and upon all ocm anions to give evidence for themselves, he did not me how they could pass this Bill. He thought it was worth their Lordi slam ronsidsrition to reflect, whether the principle upon which there Egli were founded was a good one, and if it were good one tlirn tune ought to be taken to digest a general con the et.lpject. After a few word's from bowie_ Bel LET and HOLLAND, The LORI) ell / postponed moved that the furiher considera tion of thin Bill be till the next S ession. Agreed to. FAItL MARSHAL OF ENGLAND. Lord fIOLIAN!, moved the Order of the Day for the second needing of the Bill to relieve the Earl ;Marshal from taking certain trolls, previously to his executing the functions of his office. The IANAD CIIANCEIibIiK said, that the consideration of the measure ought to be postponed until the next Session of Par liament.

The U /RD CHANCELLOR, in reply, alai& if that were the fart, le , was ourprised a greater number of Noble Lords had nut comae down to soppoet their opinions. Lord 1101.1..1 observed, that some Noble Lords had ex. pressed an objection to the subject of this Bill forming part of another, which had been the case on a tennis occlusion in the AlleillUTC introduced by his noble relative. The question now came beton. their Lordships in the particular form that had been recom enentl,4ll as a separate Bill ; and he therefore trusted that Noble ords would support it. He was the last loan who would take ad vantage of the Ilvuse, and he hoped their Lordships had known hosts lung enough to be assured of that. But the lino conviction of his mind was, that a fair majority of tl . st H o use was anxious to grant the boo to the Earl Mawahal ; ssol at this time it could be rahted with the most effect, the beat grace, r.nd, as tar as regarded Noble lords who hall any apprehetision on the point, with the least possible danger. lie for one should feel the highest gratification at soothing the family afflictions of the noble person who was the object of hut present motion, and be must happy to relieve him front the performance of a painful task at all times; but more particu. Early so now when lie would have to appoint a micresmor to a near and dear relative. Ile wished that it wield appear to that noble person that Parliament sympathimd with I , and hail done all in it. power to pour the balm of consolation into his wounded spirit. Ruder these circumstances he trusted their Lordships would give this Bill a second reading. Their Lordships then divided on the amendment, when them ppeued— For the Second Rending Against it Majority in favour of the Bill - 14 The Bill was then read a second tune, and orthred to be read a third tints on Monday.

ASSESS3IENTS FOR 'CITE POOR— OBELA NB). Lord KING ',resented a atunter petition to one that had been rammed a few days since by the Bishop of Itaphoe, from the landholder of KiIITIOIC, io the County of Ann igh, praying that the House would sanctitm a measure which they thought would be' of the greatest benefit; and which was to enable them, if they wished it, to assess themselves fur the relief of the poor of their parish. The Noble lewd stated t hat the petition which he held in his hand was nunicrously, and, he believed, respectably slimed, and prayed that no such manna as that proposed by the brute? petitioners might be sanctioned by the House.

Accounts from Madrid, which we received yesterday via Bayonne, speak of a plot still existing for raining the Infant Don Carlos to the Spanish throne. In the mean time, the Government of Ferdinand has stmmoned resolution enough to strike &decisive blow r the Apostolic Junta; Tr of these iniscite+ous lectionaries have been banished. Among the exiles are the late Monk Minister Victor Baez, the thrice turned traitor de l'lnfantado, and the furious bigot Patine Crillo. All Spain is in a state of consterna tion ai dine proceedings. Some dreadful result must toi lets+. The regulations respecting the new levies for the army and the safety of the prisons, speak Solpmes as to the condition of that wretched country. A report is given, which we shall belled to have confirmed, ate. that the King of Portugal has convoked the ancient Cortes of that kingdom. It is to be expected from those by whom that well-intentioned monarch is now surrounded, that that necessary measure will be recommended to him, Its the duly course indeed for him to avoid the future perils he will be exposed to, from the base and treacherous faction by whom his life has been already menaced. John VI. is his own master. lie is not reduced to the degrading necessity of having his kingdom garrisoned by foreign troops; and we fervently hope that he will insure the stability of his throne, and the peace of his kingdom, by having recourse to the wise and tempera's measure of calling about his person the deputies of the estates of the realm. MATlttri, JUNE 4. The plot which has just been defeated at Lisbon was so in timattly connected with that which has long been meditated in Spain, that even those persons who troubled themselves the least about politics, know of it and openly speak of it. The name of Charles V. becomes more popular ; the few Royalist troops who have retained their arms, have declared in favour of that Prince, who, according to them, has always felt a great interest in the army. General Copan'', who, in 1814, presented the Constitution to the King, inviting him to take the oath to it, has just been arrested at Cadiz, and will be brought to Madrid. The struggle between the Government of the King and the Apostolic J unta, would terminate, there is rmson to believe, in favour of the former, if two or three blows, like that which we are g oin g to relate, proved to thc factious that supported by the French, it is atrongenough, not only to check, them, but to crush them. Twenty of the must distinguished mem bers of the Apostolic Junta have been banished ; among them Is the celebrated Don Victor Saes. It is affirmed also, that the Duke de l'lnfsntado, is one of them. This act of authority has caused the greatest sensation, and we are impatient to hear the effect it will produce in the provinces. Jew: 6. The Gazette of Aranjes contains a notice from the Supreme Council of War, that the drawing by lot of 36,000 men having been published by the Royal orders of the 15th and 19th of April last, the Council, to prevent the excesses which have often been committid on such occasions, commands the Royal Orders of 9th Feb. 1796, and 9th June, 1819, to be circulated, which relate to those who, to avoid arming, voluntarily maim themselves : punishment of these persons is the galleys. Among the exiled members of the Aposuilic Junta are Colonel Canter° and Tathu Cyrillo. It is reported that (liners! Capape, who had camped, has been retaken and shot by the French. The partisans of the Apostolic Junta have given themselves the name of Amarillo. (the Y Wows.) JuwE 6. The Diario contains the following official paper:—" Long cape view has shown that one of the causes which has the most contri -I•uted to impunity of crime is seduction. By it the escape of the greatest criminals has been facilitated. In order to prevent the repetition of an abuse which has been so long tolerated, and the consequences of which are so fatal, his 3lajesty has just ordered 1. That in the prison or place in which there are individuals sc. eased of conspiracy. or others, who not being included in the am neluy are placed under the authority of the law; there shall be a guard comnumded by an officer. 2. That it persons who are under prosecution are in a place where there are no regular troops or Royal volunteers, they shall be re moved for greater security to a place where there are troops. 3. Not only the Commanders of those guards, but the gaolers of ' the prisons, are personally responsible for the persons confided to their care, whose flight will be considered with respect to the former as participation in the crime, and they shall be immediately ar rested, and tried and punished in the same manner as the criminals themselves. The number of the Corregidor' of Madrid is to be raised to 26. They are to be chosen from such as have taken no part In the revolutions, and known fee their attachment to the King and to the ancient institutions. • Juno 7. It is mentioned as certain that the King of Portugal has given a Constitution to his people, and ordered the re-establishment of the ancient tortes of the kingdom. To-morrow, at noon, all the Employes of the army who shall not have quitted Madrid will be arrested. The number of the etiled members of the Apostolic Junta, I amounts to thiaty-two. The proscription of Don Victor Sara. and Vaspa who is Genera of a religious ceder, has made an ' impression which it is difficult to describe ; meat people think it is throwing oil into the fire. An ancient officer of the Spanish guard, has just arrived front Corunna, from which town he has escaped ; numerous arrests take place there. Brussels Papers to the 17th instant, and Dutch to the 19th, came to hand last night. Their contents are unin teresting. M. Von llorn, ,the author of the pamphlet which bus created so much sensation at Ilesse Cassel, has keen arrested at his residence near Minden, in the kingdom 'of Hanover. This arrest was made by order of the •Ilanovcrian Government, on an application from the Court of Deese. It is affirmed that the writer of the famous anonymous lett.' to the Elector lima been discovered ; but his name has not yet been given in the German Papers. Von Morn, in his pamphlet, stated, that the author of the conspiracy was to be found near the throve; this declara tion excited great alarm through the Dutchy ; hut well-in funned persons say, that the dangers of the plot are to be found•chiefly in the feats of the Elector aml his Govern melt. Accounts from Vicuna notice a considerable fall iu the Austrian funds. FIIINCTOST, Jrxt 11. Beside* the arrest of M. Manor (whose papers are veiled), and of several other persons belonging to the Police, we have sines' learned that the same measure has been adopted towards M. Voo Horn.

The proposes] amendment of Mr. Peers Bill is, that the 4k Jurzrs, nominated in the first instancy, shall not, as at present, be svlectell by the Master of the Crown Office, but drawn by lot from a boy containing the names of all those who arc qualified to serve upon Special Juries. The num ber will then be reduced to 21, in the ordinary manner. The lists, of course, will infuture beformedmore correctly. The Bill will stand over till next Session, in order that so material an alteration of the law may not be adopted with out the gravest consideration. We congratulate every friend to good Government on the introduction of this Bill, by which every suspicion of unfair play must now be' finally, and for ever removed. it is a practical and decisive refutation of all that has been said and written in abuse of Special Juries, from the days of the late Horne Tooke down to those of the now politically defunct Thomas Jonathan iVooler. His Majesty's Government have, we think, done wisely in making this concession, and in particular Mr. Peel is entitled to the thanks of the country, for this additional proof of the zeal and diligence with which he is carrying into effect every practicable improvement in the laws ap pertaining to the administration of justice. Blots, even in appearance, ought to be removed where the remedy can be safely applied, and we have, in this instance, the best evidence of the sincerity of his Majesty's Ministers, in the pursuance of the liberal principles by which their policy is characterised. Hamburgh Yesterday we received intelligence by the Mail to a late date. Ity a letter from the Russian capital, we learn that important changes Lave lately been made in the Department of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Public In struction. Prince Golyzin has (it is said, at his own request) retired from the Presidency of the Department, and made way for Admiral Schischlow as his successor. The new Nlinkter has also had confided to him the supreme direction of those religious communities, which dissent from 'the Greek Church. Prince Golyzin, by an Ukase of the 29th ult., addressed to the Synod, has likewise been removed from the direction of the Ecclesiastical Schools ; and a further change has been effected in the Department of Public Instruction, by an order of the Emperor, that the Synod shall in future conduct its own affairs, without being controlled by the Minister. Several other officers have shared the fate of Prince Golyzin, in being discharged front their posts in the Department. Theis? changes created considerable interest in St. Peters burgh, but no reason is assigned for them in our advice,. It is affirmed in several German Papers, that the Emperor of Russia will not leave his dominions this year, and that there is no truth in the report of a conference being ap pointed to take place between his Majesty and the Emperor of Austria.

The Earl and Countess of Ilarewood, Lady Thynne, and various others of the Nobility were present. l'he amount of the collection for this excellent Institution, which has been established since the year 1749, and is now patronized by the Duchess of Clarence, amounted to about 1121.

It appears, from an official circular of our Government, that a Catholic Clergyman, holding a high situation, lately entered into a corespondence with a Papal Nuncio, contrary to the law ; i 'but his death taking place soon after, he was not punished, for this violation of his duty as a subject. Another eccle. 'leak, however, who received the answer to the above cation, and published it without communicating with the CioH vernment and obtaining permission, has been punished as he' merits. At the same time, it has been signified to all the Catholic Clergy in the Duchy, that any similar transgression of a Catholic Clergyman holding a public situation, will, in future, be considered as equivalent to a resignation of it, and the °overtime' will discharge him accordingly.

The Bill brought in by Mr. Peel for the better impan nelling of Juries, is one of the most important measures, as affecting the administration of justice, that has been for many years under the consideration of Parliament. Its principal object is to consolidate all the various enactments relative to the impannelling of Juries, which are now widely spread in every direction over the statute book, and in several instances, ludicrously mixed up with subjects of the most opposite and discordant nature. To the mode of impaunelling common Juries we believe no objection has at any time been raised by the perverse ingenuity of the most captious complainant. As far as human precaution can provide against partiality and corruption, the existing law is complete. If any others pass upon the Jury than such u are perfectly disinterested, it must be the fault of the suitors themselves. It was with great satisfaction, therefore, that we heard Mr. Peel state that be had, where ever it was possible, merely transcribed ►he very words of the existing statutes, for the purpose of incorporating their provisions in the present Bill. The only amendment of the law proposed is with respect to Special Juries, and considering all that has been said as to the practice of the Crown Office in this respect, we have no doubt that the amendment will be warmly and universally approved. A more houourable man than the present Master of the Crown Office, confessedly, on all sides, does not exist. The praises bestowed upon him by Mr. Scarl:•tt are only the echo of the opinions of all who know him. Mr. Ilutne, too, bore his testimony to the readiness with which Mr Lushington had furnished all the information in his power to facilitate the inquiries into the practice of his office When the objections were most vehemently urged, a few years since, against the mode in Ulrich Special Jurus are nominated, it was not pretended that there was any reason for suspecting that Mr. Lushington wets capable of abusing the power he possessed. The idle quibble, that because he was the King's Coroner, he ought not therefore to nominate the Juries in tames in which the Crown was a party, might as well hate been used against the trial taking place before the King's Justices. The Master of the Crown Office holds his post by patent, and is therefore as inde pendent of the pleasure of the Crown as the Judges. If any further security had been necessary, the public had it in the fact, that Mr. Lushington was well known to be pro fessedly of Whig principles in I►is political opinions. But still there remained an objection sufficiently plausible to give some latitude to those who acre desirous of taking their revenge on the administration of justice, by aspersing the tribunal before which they were arraigned. " Why are not Special Juries drawn out by lot as other Juries arta Why is there a nomination by an Officer of the Crown at all, unless some sinister purpose is answered by this unusual course ?" Certainly it is of the utmost importance that justice should be administered, not only without par tiality, but without suspicion of partiality ; and it is there fore one of the objects of Mr. Peel's Bill to put an end to a practice which has been made the pretext of so much groundless calumny. Formed imperfectly as the lists too to Great Britain. New SOUTH IVALES.—Sydney and Hobart Town Gazettes to the end of January were received 7esterday at the New England Coffee-house. They give interesting details of the progress of improvement in those distant ,settlements. In the vicinity of Hobart Town eight distil leries have been established, and also soap and salt manu lfactories on Brune Island. Two chiefs from the Sandwich Islands hail landed at Port Jackson ; they were much de lighted with all that they saw, particularly the windmills at Sydney, which they took for spirits. On the whole, they are said to be intelligent men.

Hon. M. Stopford, with the mortar-vessels Falmouth, Lieutenant Laws ; and Goodwill, Lieutenant Thorne, sailed on Tuesday, for Algiers Bay: the Infernal bomb, Capt. Barclay (which ship arrived here (Portsmouth) on Tuesday from Chatham) the Ilamoaze mortar-vessel, Lieut. Mac ('ausland, and the Industry transport, with Ordnance stores, will probably sail to-morrow, for the same destination. —Hampshire Tvieqraph. Tile ASHANTEES.—The Borodino transport arrived on Tuesday from Cape Coast Castle, whence she sailed on the 211 of March. When the Borodino left Cape Coast the Fantee Chief, Appal, was in the interior with his army. Major Chisholm, who led the Accra militia, and the Anamboo militia (the men presented the novel spectacle of being all naked iii the field) was nearly recovered. The, former Dutch Governor of }Amine, Uaniells, was believed to be the secret instigator of the Ashantess, to resist our authority. The present Governor, Von Niess, is a better disposed man. The Owen Glendower and Swinger were left at Cape Coast ; the Bann had sailed for Sierra Leone. The Tenor arrived at Gibraltar on the ?klub. from Spit head, and sailed again for Algiers. The ship Doris, Penny, I master, arrived this afternoon from Sierra Leone, with timber for this dock-yard. She sailed on the 10th of April, when the colony was healthy. There had been no arrival at Sierra Leone from Cape Coast Castle during the two preceding months, consequently Sir Charles Mac Carthys l , defeat was not known when the lkwis sailed ; ships gene rally make a long passage from the Leeward Coast, the wind and currents being constantly opposed to them ; the distance between the ;deceit is 1,100 miles.—Purtaniouth At per. We have been highly pleased with the Second Series of the Aferkrama, just published. It consists of twenty four cards, on which are painted fragments of landscapes, so contrived, that on two or more sections being placed to gether, a pleasing view is produced. The variations of scenery (which is chiefly Italian, and of great beauty), are almost endless ; and the invention may be safely recom mended as one aflbrding admirable subjects for drawing, and supplying a fund of rational amusement. On Saturday, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, upward' of 150 distinguished fashionables v:c,ited the exhibition of the Merman, amongst whom were, his Royal highness the Duke of Gloucester, their Graces the Dukes of Rutland and St. Albans and parties, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Stafford. the Marquis of Huntley I and party, the Marquis Cholmontleley and party, the Coun tess Dowager of Cork and party, Lady Pulteney and party, Earl end Countess Howe and party, Earl Falmouth and party, Lord L. Gower and party, Lord A. Hamilton and party, &c. &c. &c. The English Opera House commences its season on the! Ist of next month. We learn that Mr. Braham, and Miss Stephens, ate at the head of the voca l p erformers. Miss Kelly, and Mr. Rayner, are also en gagedto give the aid of their acknowledged talents to this delightful Summer theatre. F.4SMOYABLE 11VTPLLIC:rxcr. ARRANGEMENTS VOR THE WEEK. TNIII EVENING.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRF. - The attendance at this theatre, on Saturday, was very thin : indeed, the performances did not deserve a full as semblage. Charles the Second, or the Merry Manareh, led the entertainments of the evening: it was received coldly, and a still colder reception a waited the ver y silly farce of My sws Man. It is a piece fit only to be seen by the lovers of bad puns, shameful plagiaries, and improbable incident. An emphatic censure was pro nounced upon it by the retirement of a majority of the au dience before the first act was concluded. Altogether, ocr opinion is, the piece should never have been produced, and if the managers are not desirous of creating a distaste for novelties it should be withdrawn, unless they suppose the public will approve of any performance, however dull or indifferent, that they in then . wisdom may think proper to produce. APOLLONICON CONCERTS. The weather on Saturday was most unpropitious, and doubtless, prevented many from attending these perfor mances, yet the company was more numerous than could be expected, and we were reminded of art anecdote of Handel , who, when his concerts were not fully attended, used to console himself by saying, " the music sounded the better." The concert began with Handers "Dettengden 're Dcum," which was a bold and masterly performance. This was followed by the air—" In native worth" — Haydn, very sweetly executed ; and Pergolesi*s " Gloria in excelcis,' a piece in all respects worthy of the subj e ct for which it is composed, and evincing considerable at tention to the varieties of saer,ll cotnposition. The air " Peace"—Dr. Carnaby, executed with some taste, pre ceded " Bochsa's grand military concerto, dedicated to the Duke of Wellington," which closed the first part. Mr. Bochsa has displayed in this piece much of that light and ' fanciful description of music, which pleases at the ino ment, and leaves no impression ; and he continually re minds us of other composers. There is a want of decision and character, which renders it occasionally tedious: but 'receiving as it did all the advantages of powerful corals ' nation and accurate performance, it was considerably ap planded. A Fantasia, which commenced the second part gave great scope to the talent of Mr. Curtis, whose eters were most successful. The delightful air " Aurora ebe Sorgerai" from the Opera of La Donna dd Lav, b/ Rossini, and Bishop's " When the wind blows," from the Miller and his Men, were considerably applauded; but. the air, " Where the Bee sucks , " — Dr . Arne , lost much et its spirit and effect, by being played rather too slow. Tb Concert terminated with Handel's " Coronation Anthem It is said, that Mr. Kean shortly intends to pet-from some of his most popular characters at the Theatre Fran cais, Paris. MossiaGE or CAPTAIN Fox AND Miss MART FitP CLARENCE.—Saturdav morning Captain Fox, son of Lod Holland, led to the "hymeneal alter Miss Mary Firrelr• Fence. The marriage was solemnized by the Rev. )I,T Shuttleworth, of Oxford, at the Church of S t. George' Hanover-square.
