On our re-entry into the gallery, we found the House in a dis cussion on the Law of Merchants Amendment BilL Mr. SCAV I rTT and Mr. J. SMITH opposed the Bill. Mr. ROBERTSON supported it.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the House adjourned at Itali-past Two. The entire attention of both Houses last night was al most wholly occupied by discussions relating to the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Mr. Plunkett presented in the House of Commons, early in the evening, a petition from the Irish Catholics, signed by about eighteen hundred names. This document was ably and temperately drawn up, and simply prayed for relief from the numerous disabilities that still oppress the body. Mr. Plunkett read several extracts ' from the petition, the entire of which, with the exception of one paragraph reflecting on the Established Clergy, had (the Right Honourable Gentleman stated) his full con currence. Mr. Plunkett said he was particularly anxious to be understood as presenting the petition only from those I who signed it, and as disclaiming all connection with any assembly sitting in Dublin, and assuming to re present the body at large. The Right Honourable Gentle man exprt..sseti his intention not to found any motion on the petition during the present Session. He had come to that resolution, he said, after the best consideration, and after consulting with the most influential and attached friends the Catholics possessed. Two petitions besides were presented from the same body, by Earl Grey, in the Upper House, and Mr. Brougham in the Lower. They prayed a Reform in the Church establishment of Ireland, the disfranchisement of Corporations, a change in the Magistracy and Jury system, and concluded by praying relief from their civil disabilities on the score of religion. Nothing could be more ill-judged than these petitions; they produced no effect, and passed without discussion, or any ulterior measure being founded on them. Earl Grey and Mr. Brougham both expressed their disapproval of a part of both these documents. The Catholics can gain nothing by violence, and indiscretion marked these appeals.

The Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Etoile of Sunday, embed our office yesterday evening by express. They are almost wholly occupied with the lengthened debates on the ministerial law for septennial elections in France. The law of recruiting, arid that for the reduction of the Renter, were still pending in the Upper Chamber. Prince Polignac, Ambassador to this Court, bad arrived in Paris, and the usual speculation attended his coming—the whispers of the salons immeilistely him a place in the French 111i nistry.Ferdinand's merciful amnesty had at length been published. Friday's le,s this precious document at .iengtb : it is, in every sentence, a tiecree of almost sweep ing proscription. The inis..q.Ls of famine, to crown the wretchedness cf that unhappy country, were crowding on Spain : a scarcity of corn prevailed, and the vile police were busy in the different towns, arresting alleged monopolists. The Gaulle de Madrid states, that Lopez Banos, Minister at War under the Constitutional system, had committed suicide, by swallowing lauds' doubt ; and he should always be ready to give it his warmest support, from a conviction that the con cession was equally necessary to the tranquillity of Ire land, and to the strength and security of the empire at large. Mr. Plunkett's address was decisive, and met by cheers throughout the llouse. We never heard the Right lion. Gentleman more impressive, or produce greater ef fect, than he did list night. .After some further discus sion, Mr. Canning rose, and pretested against the appeal the Right Hon. Mover of the petition had thought proper to make that night to Ministers. Ile would not (the Right, lion. Secretary said) suffer himself to be urged to any sudden declaration of opinion, by any unwarrantable call of such a description, on the mere presentation of a pass-, ing petition. It was not for hint or his Right Hon. Friends around him, hastily to pronounce an inconsiderate opinion on a question which, after all, was one of law, and on which, if necessary, neither he nor they would act, until they had consulted the Law-Off cers of the Crown. The Right lion. Secretary expressed his feelings cn the injury likely to accrue to the great question of Catholic Emancipa tion, from the unreflecting violence and indisaetion ef leading individuals among that body in Ireland. It was not for him to say whether they had violated the existing law by their proceedings; but he could not sanction the de mand for new enactments, made by the Hon. Mover. Pro scriptive laws of this sort should, he thought, only be con ceded from imperious neceasity,and with the greatest caution. The discussion on this question lasted several hours, and did not close until nine o'clock, Mr. Brownlow's petition was then laid on the table, and ordered to be printed ; and after some explauatiuu front the Speaker, the lion. Member gave notice of a motion, for this evening, to re fer it to the Committee up stairs, appointed to report on the state of the disturbed districts in Ireland. We have ourselves for some months past repeatedly regretted the indiscretions committed by the leading members of the Catholic Association of Ireland, and expressed our opinion that ill-considered violence of this sort was only calcu lated to raise up a host of powerful enemies, and defitat the best hopes of the Catholic Body. Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Vie], and othet members of that assembly, possess unquestion able talents, and we only regret that their zeal has not been tempered with more judgment and discretion. Such a course would have saved them the dangerous dis cussion of last night, which in its effects must be most injurious. The Game Bill, introduced by Mr. Stuart Wortley, was lost, for the present Session, last night, by a majority of 17, 103 voting, on a division, in favour of it, and 120 against. Such is the fate of almost every measure innovating on an cient usage, however mischievous at first. Mr. Stuart Wortley, on the result being known, declared his intention of renewing the proposition the first thing next Session. WINDSOR. May 31.—The King, accompanied by his usual suite, took an airing for a considerable length of time this morning, on account of the fineness of the wea ther, through the extensive Ades in Windsor Great Park. His Majesty, as usual, called at the Royal Lodge. Yesterday the Duke of York dined, with Mr. Green wood, at his house in Audlev-square, where there was a numerous party of distinguished characters to meet his Royal Highness. On Sunday the Duchess of Clarence dined with the Du chess of Kent, at her apartments in the King's Palace, Kensington. The Duchesses of Kent and Gloucester, Prince Leopold, Princess FONIOT, the Prince of Leiningen, and Prince Constantine Lewittein, paid visits to the Duchess of Cla rence yesterday. Yesterday the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester took several rides round the Regent's Park and its neighbourhood. The Rev. Mr. Kere will be consecrated on Sunday next, by the Archbishop of Kerr. Bishop of Winchester, at Lambeth Palace. On Saturday last, the 29th May, were interred at Erith parish church, in the county of Kent, the remains of the Honourable S. E. Eardley, only son of the Right Hon. Lord Eardley, than whom none can be snore, or more de aervedly, lamented,—for his whole life was one continue(' series of benevolence and charity towards others. ARTISTS' GENERAL BENEVOLENT INVTITUTION.---1 11 our report of the Anniversary Festival of this Institution, we mentioned thit Sir Thomas Clirke sat to the right hand of the Chairman. We find that we had misunder stood the name, and that it was Sir Robert Farquhar (son of the late Sir ralter Farquhar), and well known as many years able Governor of the island of the Mauritius, who occupied that station, and whose health was drunk in the course of the evening. We had also, in part, mistaken the object of the society, which is " the relief of distressed Artists, whose works are esteemed by the public, and their widows and orphans." On Sunday last a young man, named John Lee, read his recantation fromPopery, at the church of St. Mary Somerset, in Upper Thames-street. He read a long written address, which, he said, convinced " his feelings" on this occasion, and what was rather more important, he stated that he delivered it "by permission" of the Ecclesiastical Authorities. The appearance and manner of the indivi dual was that of the lower class of Irishmen, bis pronunci ation illiterate, and his accent the Munster Irish brogue. He concluded a coarse and vulgar anathema against the Roman Catholic religion, by a player for the deluded, and, to crown the whole, said, that he came to England with a letter of introduction to a Clergyman, from the Champion of the Protestant Church, the Rev. Sir Harcourt Lees. Letters from Constantinople of the 26th, and from Smyrna, dated 17th April, were yesterday received. The Turkish fleet, with the Pacha on board, had sailed from the Dardanelles. His Majesty's ships Euryalus, Martin, , and Rose, were in the port of Smyrna on the 17th ult. be The presenting a petition by Mr. Brownlow, the Mem ber for Armagh, against the continuance of the political body which has sate for some months under the name of the Catholic Association, in Dublin, led, last night, to a protracted and a stormy discussion. Mr. Brownlow intro duced the petition, which he drew from his pocket, with twenty names attached to it, with a speech of considerable length and great warmth. He charged the Association in question with usurping the authority of Parliament, and fettering the freedom of speech within the very walls where he then sate. They had (the lion. Member said) their i regular meetings and adjournments ; they gave notices of their motions, and hail protracted debates upon them they assessed the peasantry by their authority, and pre tended to levy money in every parish throughout the king. dom ; they published the most violent speeches, thus in flaming the feelings of the people, and keeping alive the spirit of discord and sedition. Mr. Brownlow appealed with great warmth to the first Law Officer for Ireland, and called on his Majesty's Ministers to put down the Association, whose proceedings hail become so danger. ous to the peak: of that kingdom. Ile did not know, he said, whether the existing law (the 33d of the late King) was sufficient for that purpose, or whether this body came within its provisions; but if they were enabled, by the aid of those who were its leading members, to evade it, he hoped a statute would be forth with prepared to meet the contingency, and suppress their sittings. Ile called on the Attorney-Geueral for Ireland to state whether the Catholic Association was a legal body, and if not, to act decisively against them. The Right Hon. Gentleman had (Mr. Brownlow said) been most ac tive in arraying the whole terrors of the law against the bottle-throwers in Dublin, and he hoped his career of office would be at least one of even-handed justice. In the' course of his address, the lion. Member complained of his expressions on a former occasion having been misrepre sented, when alluding to the two associations of the Orange and Ribbon parties in Ireland. He bad then condemned, he stated, the processions of either party as productive of violence and sanguinary contests ; but he was himself, lion.

The King's ap pearance is remarkably gentlemanly. 'They were attended by the Honoura'd I e Mr. Byng. The play, we think, was selected in bad taste, as it is an exceedingly dull one ; and we cannot say much for the performance of it, with the exception of Mr. Young and Miss Lacy, the latter of whom I infused more than ordinary interest into the character of Cora. We regret that the talents which this lady pos sesses should not be More frequently displayed. The house was hut thinly attended. The Royal party were the chief objects of curiosity, the play of Pizarro being the most unattractive throughout the whole range of the drama. VIENNA. MAY 15. We have just lost rut.

The two prin cipal questions to be determined relative to the Act for the Reim bursement, or the ltduction of the Interest of the Five per Cents.; were the following:— Is the Act proposed just ? . . Is the Act Profitable to the Sate? Which comprise all the points which the subject involves, and ne cessarily lead to the solution demanded. After endeavouring to prove that a Government has at all times the right of reimbursing the sum it may have borrowed from the public, when it Snds itself tin a position to do so, et to reduce the interest in proportion to the actual value of money, making an exception to the Life Annu ities, he passed to the sec.nui question— the Act in quota= profitable to the State?" • The Repose inquires, " If the dimi nution of 28 milliners per annum is the result of reducing the Five Ives.

Last night these Gardens were opened for the lesson, and the attendance, if not crowded, was numerous and re spectable. The Gardens have undergone considerable im provement, and, generally speaking, we have to offer our approbation to the spirited proprietors for the great and sparing exertions which they have made since the last season. We know not where to begin in our selection of objects, for every thing seemed new and attractive, and worthy of commendation. Perhaps the most attractive part of the entertainment was the Ballet, which reflects credit on Mr. Mullin. The story was not without interest, land the costume was classically correct. On some future occasion we shall give an outline of the story, fit we must say, that Vauxhall on this occasion has decidedly • surpassed I I both the Italian Opera-house and the larger Theatr4 The scenery is splendid, and the dancing not unworthy the best school of the present day. The Mechanical Theatre is worth seeing, and the Fantoceini cannot fail of calling for a notice. The Cosmoramie Views are executed with' great power and fidelity, particularly those of Captain Parry's Voyages to the North ]role; but we • think the effect in some degree weakened by being placed so near each other. We prefer their being placed in different situations, and coming on you, as they used to do in other seasons, by surprise. Method and order are often useful — I in the sciences they are absolutely necessary ; but in these things, which merely ministcr to men's pleasures, perhaps, those excited by surprise tell with the best effect. With respect to the Concert, it was well received, and several of the songs were encored. We have a general objection to I encores, as fatiguing to the singers, and unnecessarily lengthening the performance ; and last night their being called for was, to say the least, unnecessary. " God save the King" and " Rule Britannia" were very fairly sung, and received with that honest, open, and loud approba lion which a King, the father of all his people, deserves ; land which perhsps none but a free and enlightened people would pay to so exalted a superior. " Rule Britannia"' closed the Concert, and we have only to say, that it was received with all that applause which the navy of England deserve from the inhabitants of this proud and se4-'girt isle,. whose glory and whc,;ce honour have so much depended on the bravery of our naval heroes. 'A new gallery has beat erected opposite the Theatre (for ballets) ! which is calcu lated to afford facilities to those who are disposed to witness an hour's dancing, without the inconvenience of peeping through the Ladies' bonnets and feathers and the Gentle men's broad-brimmed hats. This nuisance, by the way, ought to be abated ; but the proprietors, of course, tan only mcominend it to be so. The Fire-works commenced, as usual, at twelve o'clock, and were truly brilliant ; they assumed every possible appearance, both earthly and heavenly—the figures of the stars were in obedience to the Chevalier Southby, and in the midst of the most brilliant past Air. 11.1aciemore made his ascent on the rope. IBS re ception was most flattering. Altogether the Gardens ex hibited a delightful spectacle; there was that undulation here and there--there was a variation of light and shade, which are, as desci ibed by Burke; the particular elements of beauty. Those who have not seen :Vauxhall can form I no notion of its fascinations. It is a little fairy-land, where beauty and harmony combine with their great agent, light (and no light more romantic than moon-light), to give creation the sweetest and most endearing appearance. - • Accoeding to letters from Augsburg, of the 21st 31er. at t!'e moment of the departure of the Ottoman fleet, under the eon , - mend of the Capitan Paths, some light, Greek vessvic were e @cried, which immediately sat sail, to carry the intelligence rim !Imam, as the Greeks had adopted meanares to collect a consider , able fleet.
