This wss a beneficial change which had liken place within the short space of fire years, but if one looked back 4 little forth*, it was quite marvellous what changes had taken place. The Catholic Bill was the presiesste cause of one Administration going out, an d yet they hod now sent up to the House of Lords a Bill which went much farther titan that measure. With respect to the effect which Shia measure would have oa the silk trimly, if it were so great es represented, he was astonished they bed not made themselves heard before; hat he was glad, n otwitintandiog, dust au opportunity would still be given to them fur that perfume.

All the private letters from the copital to the Turkish commanders here agree in this. A courier from Gallia: brings word that all the merchantmen hive sailed, some to Odessa, ammeter Constantinople, to resume their trade. Eight Boyars or the first class in this province, and five of Moldavia. have been summoned to Saturn' (there are no Greeks among them), where they receive orders so proceed to Constantinople. Then are dif ferent opinions on the object of this measure. Some think oue of them will be appointed Prince; others that the Porte desires-to investigate the causes of the insurrection, ►url the complain:a made by Theo. dote in the name of the oppressed poople;,erthere think that if the Porte appoints a Prince, he will be limited in his executive power by a council •of the nobility.

The mail from Moscow brings news that a Rus sian merchant, named Guriutnikow, one of the principal dealers in twist in that city, had failed foe about a million and a half of roubles. This affai r excites the greatest *rotation, because he was Di-• rector of the Bank of Morieow ; and it now appears . that in order to relieve himself he has forged bills •uf exchange; he has already confessed havingisau. ed to the value of 250,000 roubles.

The accounts from Smyrna up to 14th April, re.. ceived at Trieste, give • melancholy picture of the excesses that have lately been renewed in shateity: the Greeks were in a manner besieged in their houses by the Asiatic,, and often driven out by setting them on fire.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAT! IL, mi. The Roman Catholic Peers Bill was brought up to the House of Lord. last night by Mr. CANNING, and, on the motion of the Duke of PORTLAND, read a first time. The Noble Duke is married to the sister of Mrs. CANNING. The second reading of the Bill was then fixed for Thursday next.— There was a very full attendance of members at an early hour, including the Dukes of Sussex, DE VONSHIRE, and BEAUFORT; the Marquis of LANS- Dowx, Lord EIot.L•MD, &c. In moving the order of the day for the Commit tee on the Nsvigation Bill, io the House of Com mons. last night, Mr. I.V.tit.t..scit, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, stated, 'amain length, the astute of °meliorations which it was intended to pro pose in the existing Navigation Laws of this country. The generelobject of those alterations he stated to be the simplification of those lows, by relaniog some . of the enactments in force for•the regulation of the trade of foreign shipping with the ports of this kingdom, so as to place the several nations of Europe upon the same footing in that respect one with another. In the course of his observations, alluding to the present state of South America, the Right Hon. Gentlemen stated it to be his intention, without attempting to prescribe to the Executive Government what course of policy it should pursue with respect to the recognition of the independence of the South American States, to propose that the shipping of those States should be admitted into the ports of this country on the same terms as those which regulated the admission of British ships into the ports of those States re spectively. The provincial papers received at our office abound with accounts of the exertions in every. part of the kingdom . for the relief of the poor pow suffering from famine in Ireland. Many military corps have voted a day's pay is aid of tbe general fund; and the Ladies, whose influence is so powerful in all the relations of domestic life, now take an active part and lively interest in the cause. The Ladies of Plymouth, following the example of those of Camberwell, held is meeting at Goude's Hotel, on Friday, when it was agreed to open a subscription among their female friends. Thus every age, rank, and sex, are united in the pro motion of this benevolent and getiesosa purpose. An Evening Paper seems to think that the effort of liberality now making may exceed the necessity. We wish we could entertain a like opinion.

Several men lost their lives by icebergs falling on them. Extract of a letter dated Bahia, February 23 : " For four or five drys past we have been in the greatest state of alarm, and at least one-third of the inhabitants have retired into the country : the place has been completely under arm*. I have told you before of the jealousy existing between the Brazi liens and Europeans in all political affairs, and the spirit of hostility broke out on Sunday last. About three weeks since the election of new Governors took place, when, of seven elected, one only. I believe, was an European, from amongst whom they chose their General at Arms. A very short time after, however, a vessel arrived from Lisbon, bringing an appointment from the Cortes for a Colonel of one of the European regiments here to fill the post, to which the Brazilians would not accede, and on Monday last he beat to arms to enforce it. The Brazilian troops at the tune had possession of the principal fort in the place, to which they retired. The Europeans besieg ed them in it, which, after three days skirmishing, they abandoned, and the Europeans are now in possession of the city and all the forts of the place. Between 80 and 100 men have been killed and wounded in the affair. There was fighting be tween the two parties in all parts of the town. — A great part of the English, especially the Ladies, the Consul, &c. retired on board ship to wait the event, and a great Dumber shipped their cash, books, &c. a. a report was spread that the city was to be given up to twenty-four hours' pillage. The European troops having ahewn themselves so decidedly superior, in point of discipline and force, every, thing must remain quiet, for some time at least. The news from Rio de Janeiro of the Bawl zi liens having driven all the European troops thence. and insisting ou their immediately returning ter Lisbon, accelerated the hostilities here. P ersia * . bum is ou the same parts se that in a few yeses the Brazils must be an independent country. sod; more than probable. Don Paciao their King. Peace is now•restored, and with it, I hope, edit& , dence; but had the Brazilians been masters of tbH field, we might hive fared badly, iu cousasop wit h outer Europeans." PASHIOWAIkE PARTIES.

After the cloth was removed, The Nostc•CHatatuArt rare and said, as Lyal subjects, he was sure the Gentlemen preeent would drink with acclanestion " The health of the King," with three times three. The toast was drunk with greet applause. Lord STOUITON begged leave to propose the health of s Gentleman, whose exertion. hail vo yowrr folly ebotnbutetl to promote the wtlfure of the ft,- stitution. The merits of the distinguished indiei dual to whom he alluded were so well known to the meeting, he should without further preface give the health of " The Patron, the Right Rev. Dr. Forger." Dr. POT/1M: returned his eking sincere thanks for the honour conferred upon him. He felt happy in seeing so mem, respeevabte a conipany assem bled to givitheir old to charitable establishment, in whose success hr wows° much interested. With the ierrniision of the meeting he would pro pose the health of the Noblemen who had done them the honour of taking the Chair upon the pre sent occasion— ,' Lard Storrion." "Tie President, the Right Hos. Lord Clifford." The children belonging to the several schools were then introduced. Their animated counie. nancel, and the extreme neatness and cleanhtiess of their personal appearance, afforded ample proof of the attention which had been paid to their health anti morals. Amongst the apprentices were three young men, to the first of whom ibe Noble Chairman presented a purse containing Sei •peends, and to the other two smaller sums, oa rewords for their exceflent conduct. The Vice Presitlests." The Hon. EDWAILD PtilllC begged leave to re turn thanks on behalf of the Vice-President s . He wished also to sty a few words with regatd to the Institution, which, he was happy to state, from the Report which he held'in his hand, appeared to be in a prosperous condition. That Report wee solidi and satisfactory, it would be superfluous to eater into a detailed statement on the subject. It was highly gratifying to learn, that the department fur education, notwithstanding the paltry ettempte made to impede its career, was in a state of progres sive improvement ; that for apprenticing was ahi. attended wide considerable success. It might bar said, the distress ihich'et present prevailed would naturally prevent indtvduils from coming forward in so liberal a manner as they otherwise *unlit ; he felt the weight of that argument, but he called upon the meeting to look at those children, and he would ask, who are they ? They were the 50111 aid &blighters of those who had Fought and bl e d f ur then country. It was customary npon such occa sions to eulogise the liberality of the meeting, and he would do it, if he thought it would add a spark to their generosity. or a mite to their subscription ; but they had laid it noble linindation. and he felt coafideut they would not abundon the superetruc tare. " The Doke of Norfolk." His Grace returned thanks, and said the Insti tution should always have his good wishes, and all the assistance it was in his power to afford. The CHAIRMAN said he hod the satisfaction of announcing to the meeting, that the collection made that evening amoonied to 5111. He could not help repressing his belief that so successful a result woe in a considerable degree owing to the eloquent upper, of his Hon. ?mud. He begged leave io propose ." The health of the Honourable Edward Petry." Mr. BLARti said lie was sure the meeting would feel satisfaction in fraying a tribute of respect to the distinghished personage who sat on the left of their Noble Chairman. His health had beets included in a 'former toast,, bat be was of opioioo it sho o t.' he drank particularly, and substantively. He concluded with giving -' The health of the 'Earl of Surrey."
