I shall therefore move that the debate be adjourned.—(Cries of " Go one go no.")—lt is most vexatious, that Honourable Gentlemen who do not wish to take any part in the discussions, should prevent others from obtaining those explanations, and eliciting those details, which the nature of the question requires. I feel called upon to per severe in moving the adjournment.—(Cries of " Go on, go ou.")—The Hon. Member proceeded to state, that he was only anxious to know why this financial measure could not be carried into effect without the boom to the country 'Which he had over and over again pointed out, in 1827, f.4e then told the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Ex chequer that the course he was pursuing was a dead loss to the country. He borrowed 4,000,0001. wherewith to remova such an amount of Exchequer Bills from the mar hait, as he (Mr. Hume) advised him to do; but instead of doing so at par, the Right Hon. Gentleman adopted a course similar to the present, by which a clear loss of half a million was sustained to the country. And it appeared he was still determined to go on without any fixed prin ciple of action in financial affairs. 'Mr. BERRIES said, the Hon. Member for Aberdeen anistook the nature of the hardships which his Right Hon. Friend pointed out with reference to the holders of these Bills. How was he to say to one set of holders you shall receive 1031. for your Bills, and to another set you must be content to part with your Bills at par? Mr. 3IABERLY again protested against the doctrine laid down by the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. Mr. MARTIN said the uniet standing among merchants in the city was, that the Bills might, at a given time, be called in at par, and they expected no return of the pre mium advanced on them. Mr. ATTWOOD thought it but fair that the holders or such Bills should receive the 1031. on their being called in. Mr. HUME repeated his objection to this extravagant expenditure of the public money, and said the House would stultify itself if it agreed to any such stupid proposal. —(Hear, and a laugh.) 'the CKANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not zan to justify the present system ; but it had been uni manly acted upon, and persons who took Exchequer Bills took them under the impression that it would be conti nued. He thought that to take 103/. for an Exchequer Bill, and call it back again at 1001. would be nothing less than fraud upon the holder. Mr. HUME never before heard such an argument used by the head of a public department. Why, there was not a clerk in the Right Ilon. Gentleman's office who could not set him right on the subject. It was no longer ago than 1826 that 2,500,000/. Stock was lost to the public by this mode of funding 8,000,000/. of Exchequer Bills. By the present course there would be upon these 3,000,000/. a loss of from 150,0001. to 200,000/., which he pledged himself to prove, if the adjournment took place. Mr. P. THONIESON contended that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had no right to pay Exchequer Bills in any other way but at par. An Exchequer Bill was like any other bill, which was to be paid at a certain time with the interest due upon it. Where then, lie asked, was the fraud in the one case snore than in the other ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that tl ere might be a moral fraud as well as a legal fraud, and this moral fraud Government would be guilty of if they refused to pay to pay those Bills according to the under standing upon which they were taken. There might have been a notice that such would not be the case, but it was a question with him whether there had not been an implied notice the other way. Mr. MAIIERLY could never consent to pay the pub lic creditor a greater sum than had been stipulated for with him. When those Exchequer Bills were taken, it was with an express bargain that Government might call them in after a certain period, at 1001. He did not wish to use hard words, but he considered it as a profligate waste of the public money. He again protested against the measure, and begged to assure the Right Hon. Gentle- man he should take every opportunity of opposing a mea sure so dangerous, so expensive, and so profligate. Mr. ATTWOOD again contended that the bills were taken by individuals with an understanding that they were to be called in with the premium advanced upon them, and that it would be a fraud on the part of Govern ment to act upon any other principle. There was, to be mare, an agreement that they might be called in at par, but the holder looked upon that as a remote contingency ; it might happen tit it untoward circumstances might occur, such as the sudden breaking out of a war, but in ordinary cases the holder calculated upon the good faith of Givernment. Mr. HENRIES observed that if Government were de termined to act upon the principle of calling in Exchequer Bills at p.m, they would require to be always prepared with funds to meet them. Mr. P. THOMPSO'es; said that the contingency which was admitted by the Hon. Member for Callington was sufficient to prove all that he (Mr. Thompson) contended for, namely, that the person who took an Exchequer Bill at 103/., did so with a perfect understanding that it might be called in after a certain time at 100/. ; so that no fraud could be said to be prsctised upon him. The LORD MAYOR said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been very improperly attacked, for that the Bills had been sold in the market by a private broker, and without being acknowledged to have been sold on the part of the Govei nment ; for, if the fact had been known, the premium they would have fetched would have been very little. He mentioned this in justification of the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. HUME thought the fact alone was a proof that the Government was ashamed of the transaction. Mr. MA BERLY said that the loss on the transaction mould amount to 400,000/. The Resolution was then agreed to. Alter some other Resolutions had been passed, Mr. HUNIE wished to ask whether it was true that Mr. Rothschild had drawn bills on the Treasury at eight months' date. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not aware of the circumstance to which the Hon. Member _ _ _ Mr. H UME s•tid the Bills were drawn by Mr. Roths child on the Treasury, and bad been circulated. He wanted to have some information on this subject. The House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received on Monday. On the motion of Mr. V. FITZGERALD, the order of the day for the third reading of the Silk Trade Bill was read. Mr. E. DAVENPORT, Mr. FYLER, Mr. ROBINSON, and Mr. Alderman WAITHMA N opposed the Bill, but severally acknowledged that their opposition was useless. Mr. V. FITZGERALD could not suffer the Bill to pass without complimenting the Honourable Member for Coventry on the fair and manly opposition he had made to the 8.11. _ _ The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Two o'clock, this morn ing, till Monday. Captain WALLACE, Madras army, was pre ,ented at the levee, on his return from India, by Lieutenant Sir THOMAS BOWSER. _ - _ Captain and Lady AGNEs BYNG arrived in town yesterday morning from England.—Dublin Free maa's Journal. LADY AGNES BYNG.—The Observer states, that an action for slander has been commenced against Mr. GERALD CALLAGHAN, late M.P. for Dundalk, to whom the slanderous rumour, affecting the character of this amiable and accomplished young lady has been traced. W e understand that the letter written by Mr. CALLAGHAN to a brother Brunswicker, which contains the calumny, will be produced at the trial. The writ bas already issued. We have learned that Mr. O'CONNELL has been specially etai ned on the part of the plaintiff in this most important case, which is to be tried in the present term. —Dublin 3.10rn ing Register. Mn. O'CDNNELL.—On Tuesday it was men tioned that it was Mr. O'CoNNELL's intention to present himself on Thursday evening to take his seat. The in tention of Mr. O'CONNELL was mentioned by Mr. PEEL and others on Wednesday morning ; and, consequently, ar• rangements were made for the reception of Mr. O'CONNELL. Long before four on Thursday, the lobby was crowded, and in the House there were not fewer than 150 Members, an unusual number at so early an hour. However, Sir N. Tv Nnar.r., the Solicitor-General, was down at the offices about the House, on the subject, by two o'clock ; and he then stated that he had just understood that it was not Mr. O'CoNNELL's intention now to apply for his seat—a state ment that turned out to be true enough (notwithstanding Mr. PEEL'S ezl•ectations on Wednesday), for neither Mr. o'cos NELL. nor any of 'lda friends appeared, though the SPEAKER was in the Chair some time before four o'clock, to afford time for the application, if there were the inten tion of making it. It was confidently mentioned about the House (but with what truth I know not) that the advice sf Mr. O'CONNELL 'S legal and other friends prevented the amutemplated attempt being made on Thursday.. It was mentioned that it is to be made "next week." THE 13UDGET. The following Papers were ref erre d t o by the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night : REVENUE.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Wednesday, May 6.) PARIS, Mar s.—We borrow the following statements from a letter from Corfu, dated April 8 ; " The Greeks are at present masters of almost the whole of the country between the Gulf of Arta, near Corfu, and that of Volo, in the Archipelago. In this line, the only important points are Missolonghi, Livadia, and Athens. The Turks, who occupy them, will not he able to hold nut long, on account of the want of ammunition and pro visions, and the difficulty of receiving succour. Thus the Greeks will soon have niade the conquest of all this country, which is destined by the recent resolutions of the Allied Powers to form part of the new Greek state. The country cotnprehesided between the Isthmus of Corinth and the line from Volo to Arta, is almost equal in extent to the whole Peloponnesus, to which the free state of Greece was at first designed to be limited." (From the Gazette de France, dated Thurday.) FRONTIERS OF POLAND, APRIL 23.—Letters from St. Petersburgh say, that their Imperial Majesties will leave the capital on the 7th of May, and come to be crowned at Warsaw, where they will stay for some weeks. The Diet will be opened by the Emperor at the same time. Their Majesties will afterwards have an interview with the King of Prussia on the frontiers; after which the Empress will go to Berlin with the King, her father, while the Em peror will go to review the corps of reserve in the Princi palities. It is said that the Grand Duke Michael will also go to Warsaw, at the coronation, at which many foreigners be halging to the diplomatic body will be present. It is be lieved at St. Petershurgh, that Lord Heytesbury, the Duke de Mortemart, and Count Fiquelmont, will accom pany the Emperor. There is also a report that the Prince Royal of Sweden will be present at the solemnity. Great naval armaments aie making at Crenstadt, and a new levy of seamen is spoken of.

Mr. Villiers Stuart has taken the first formal step to wards a measure, which, if postponed for to-day, must, beyond all question, be to-morrow adopted,—namely, the establishment of some legal provision for the sick, the aged, the infirm, and the fatherless infant poor of Leland. We have no sort of hesitation in predicting that the thing must ere long be done. That the population of Ireland has been doubly stimulated,—first, by the mixed ambition and cupidity of the landlords, and next by the barbarous reckless habits of the poor themselves,—is notorious to all the world. The landlords, for the sake of multiplied freeholds, and of enormous con-acre rents, were anxious to encourage the formation of new families, and the erec tion of new cabins upon their estates, while the pea sant youth of both sexes, having no experience under the parental roof of such comforts as require an out lay of money, and therefore no feeling about the ne cessity of a timely provision for the wanis of a future family, are ready enough to unite themselves in marriage, and to accept from the landlord on any terms, however exorbitant, a spot of ground, be it ever so limited or so barren, whereon to raise that miserable sty which else where would be deemed a dreary refuge for cattle, but is Leld in Ireland an habitation meet for man. Thus the growth of numbers, which in England has been called forth by the increase of capital and the demand for manu facturing labour, and which, when capital fluctuates, and labour is suspended, finds relief, though scanty, still enough for bare subsistence, in the poor laws, has in Ire land an origin independent of capital or labour; and when suffering under excessive privation, caused by a failure of the ordinary food of Ireland, has no hope from the revival of the manufacturing market, or from any fund appro priated to his succour by the providence and humanity of the Legislature. The consequence of this condition of the Irish poor is, that they beg and pilfer in their own neigh bourhood, or, if more enter prising, and with a few shil lings in their pockets, migrate to this country in search of work, where they find indeed a market already overstocked with labourers, but open to receive them at diminished wages. The consequence is that the evil of an excessive supply of labourers is aggravated on this side of the water. The English peasant is outbid at his former employer's door—the distress of the British peasantry increased—the British poor-rates unnaturally swollen by this unceasing inroad of alien adventurers, and the vacancy resulting in Ireland itself from their emigration filled by fresh tribes of beggars occupying their deserted tenements, and perpe tuating those swarms of marauders upon the English mar ket, which have forced down the native peasant of this country to the endurance of worse &et, worse clothing, and of a state more nearly approaching to destitution than has been known at any period of the last two centuries amongst us, because his liish competitor is satisfied with such a condition, which, if he cannot tolerate, he is turned over to the parish workhouse, and is lost, with his children, as respectable or useful citizens. Now let the English gen tlemen look to it : a member for an Irish county, a man of large property and high connexion, proposes freely to the House of Commons a remedy for the above train of evils, the enormous increase of the poor rates, and the palpable dege neracy of the English agricultural population. This re medy is the institution of poor laws in Ireland,—not poor laws with all their actual appendages and abuses, so much deplored in most parts of England, and unhappily s o difficult to cure, but poor laws which shall take the bur den of supporting those who are the proper, and wer e the original objects of that branch of legislation, from off the shoulders of the poor, and lay it upon the backs of the wealthy. That Irish landlords should, under va rious pretences, fight hard against the success of !lo hu mane a measure, will surprise nobody who is ac quainted with the class out of which these landlord s are constituted. But we trust that the English noble men and gentlemen will not be slow to apprize their brethren from the sister cottony, of the expediency, both moral and political, that each parish throughout the United Kingdom should subsist its own poor; and that even if Irishmen, like Mr. Dawson, should find their incomes lowered by this necessary deduction from the gross rental, it is more fitting,--Ist, that rents should fall than the people should perish ; 2d, that the soil of Ireland should be taxed for the maintenance of Irish paupers, than that the soil of England should be overrun by them, and the peasantry of England degraded ; 3d, that the gentlemen of Ireland, who were employed for years in raising this mendicant army, should be furnished with cogent reasons for reducing it, and for examining more closely, and more effectually consulting, the domestic interests and social pro g r ess o f th a t multitude of which they ought to be protectors. Although Mr. Peel refused to pl e d ge th e G overnment upon t h e su bj e ct of poor laws for Ireland, he let enough be seen of his own sentiments to assure us that he is alive to the obligation of consider ing, with a view t o it s amen d ment , th e general condition of her poor.— Times. In the Honse of Lords last night, the Marquis of Clan ricarde informed their Lordships, " that under the Poor Laws of England at present, there were many able-bodied men, through whole districts of the country, who did not receive more than three shillings a week; and if that were sufficient for a workman in England, it would not be sufficient in Ireland ;" and, of course, his Lordship is anxious to rescue the peasantry of Ireland from such deep distress, into which they would infallibly be plunged by the poor laws. Humane and considerate, no doubt ! But if these able-bodied men in England are reduced to three shillings a week, to what is that owing but to the circumstance of there being no poor laws in Ireland? The lush pauper finds his way to England, and pays rent to such men as his Lordship, for the pigsty e in which he propagates his species, out of the labour of the Englishman. The Englishman, tyith his Ss. a week from the parish, and what he gains by thieving and poaching (for where there is property exi.osed a man in want will contrive to lay his hands on it), still makes more than the necessitous Irishman will consent to re ceive. When they talk of modifying the English system, they talk unintelligibly. The English system has been departed from since the beginning of the last war in the Southern Counties ; and we owe this departure, not to the poor laws, but to a conspiracy of the Gentry in their character of Unpaid Magistrates. The Unpaid form a confederacy too powerful for the lower orders to contend with. They have done more mischief to the English la bourers since 1795, than can be comp ensa t e d f or b y cen turies of the most meritor ious services.—Morning Chron. Count ALEXANDER MONTARA was pre sented to the KING at the levee by the Spanish Minister and the E,irl of ABERDEEN (as Foreign Secretary), to deliver a letter of appointment from the Duke of Lucc.A.

MAY 9, 1929. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought forward the Budget last night in a speech, which though not perhaps of the most promising character, was at any rate candid, and even satisfactory as far as it went. He reprobated, and we think justly, the gloomy apprehensions entertained by many indivi duals respecting the condition of the country, observing that it was adequate to meet the demands upon it; and that the depre s sion under which it at present laboured, so far from being of a permanent or deeply-settled character, was merely transient and superficial, and would shortly pass away. In addition to its candour, Mr. GOULBURN'S expose possessed the still further merit of clearness and per spicuity. There was no studied attempt at mystifi cation, no dull mindless prolixity—according to the fashion of my Lord BEXLEY and his school—the Right Hon. Speaker came to the point at once, grappled boldly with his subject, the difficulties of which he neither attempted to extenuate nor conceal, and threw himself manfully, and, we need scarcely add, successfully, on the justice, the discrimination, and the good sense of the House. We shall enter at length into the matter of his speech on Monday. The following are extracts from the German Papers. The heavy press of Parliamentary in telligence prevents us entering further into detail on the subject of their contents VIRNNA, APRIL 26.—1 n our paper we formerly men tioned in a few words some occurrences in Caudia, of which the following letter gives the particulars : " CANEA, FEB. 26.—0 n the 20th January four Egyp tian men of war, viz. a corvette. a large brig, and two schooner brigs, which had sailed from Alexandria on the 15th instant, arrived at Soda ; two other men of war, which were not ready to put to sea on the 15th, were to follow them, and we have in fact learned from a Genoese Captain, who sailed from Alexandria on the 18th, that a frigate and a corvette which were to join the above-men. tioned division, had met off Cape Sidero (on the east end of Candia) a Russian ship of the line, which gave cliace to them. The frigate being the best sailer, had taken the corvette in tow ; but as the Russian gained on the two Turkish vessels, the frigate slipped the towing line and left the corvette to its fate. " This is the corvette that was taken by the Russians and brought into Egina 20th February, on the same day with the Turkish merchantman from Rhodes to Candia, which was released by order of Admiral Heyden. .•. " The. division which arrived from Alexandria on the 20th of January, brought the news that the Viceroy of Egypt had received notice from Admiral Malcolm, that the blockade of the island of Candia, by the English and French (which had so muck contributed to favour the in surrection), had been raised, and that the Viceroy was therefore at liberty to take such measures as he should judge the most advisable for the pacification of the island. The Viceroy communicated this information to Suleiman Pacha, the Seraskier of Candia, desiring him to call on the insurgents to submit, and to promise them complete amnesty for all that had passed ; otherwise they must blame themselves for the consequences that might ensue from their protracted resistance. The Chiefs of the insur gents (most of them strangers in the island, who had been sent thither to excite the insurrection) required time toanswer to this summons, and declared in the end that they could not agree to any thing, as the messenger whom they had sent to the President at Egina for instructions, had returned without an answer. Their real object seems to have been to gain time to turn into money the oil which they seized upon last autumn. The two schooner brigs, which arrived on the 20th of January, were therefore sent back to Alexandria t.> inform the Viceroy. One of these brigs sailed on the 10th, the other on the 21st of February. According to the report of an lonian captain, who arrived at Soda a few days ago, it seems that the first of these brigs has been captured by the Russian squa dron, consisting of two ships of the line, two frigates, two corvettes, and a brig, which is cruising off the coast of Candia. " The French brig of war Alcyone has been for some days at Suda. Captain Le Blanc, who commands it, had an interview with Baron Von Reinock, who directs the operations of the insurgents in this island, in order, it is said, to leave Candi t ; as his protracted stay in the island could only bring down new misfortunes on the inhabitants. Baron Von Reineck is reported to have answered, that he had sent two of his Secretaries, one of them only ten days ago, to the President for orders, without which he could not leave the post assigned him. The Alcyone goes to-day t, Candia and thence to Egina, hoping to find Admiral de Rigny there. " Before the appearance of the Russian squadron in those seas, the insurgents, who were acquainted with the resolutions of the Allied Powers respecting this island, openly declared that they were willing to submit as soon as they should have sold their oil ; but now that they imagine they have nothipg more to tear from Egypt the Greeks, who were before the first to break the armistice that had been concluded by the intervention of the English, appear disposed to persevere in their revolt. This has already led to new misfortunes, for the Turks make almost daily sal lies from the fortresses (Candia, Bettina°, and Canea,) and generally return after sanguinary engagements with booty and prisoners." VIENNA, Amu, 27. —Metalliques, 97 k; Bank Shares, 1101. The French Journals contain nothing worthy of comment. The Gazette de France states, on the authority of letters from St. Petersburgh, that their Imperial MAJESTIES will leave the capital on the 7th of May, and come to be crowned at Warsaw, where they will stay some weeks. The Manchester and Rochdale riots have, we are glad to learn, nearly come to a termination. The misguided workmen have probably found out the highly important fact, that noise, and tumult, and bravado, so far from ameliorating their condition, or inspiring pity for their sufferings, can only have the effect of sinking them still deeper in distress ; and by steeling the hearts of the well-disposed towards them, of shutting out every prospect of future com fort. The mind of the English public is strongly susceptible of pity ; there is no existing nation on the face of the earth ; thereis none of which history makes an y mention, so alive to the wretchedness of others, so prompt, so generous, so magnificent, so unassum ing in the number and quality of their charities. The stream of British benevolence runs in a mighty channel ; but mixed up with this kindness of heart, the nation, we mean the well-disposed and reflect ing portion of it, has naturally a strong aversion to lawlessness, nor•do we know any thing so likely to chill the warmth of its sensibility as an indecent and ill-advised display of insubordination, such as that lately exhibited at Manchester and Rochdale. Let the distressed operatives then pause in time : let them return to their duties as men, and as citizens, and rest assured that the hour of compensation is at hand. Any further violence will only have the effect of injuring their cause, anti giving the character of insurgents to those who are at present sufferers. As fathers, anxious for the welfare their children—as husbands, sensitively alive to the comfort and happiness of their wives— as friends, as relations—nay, as Englishmen, we implore them to return to their duties. By turbu lence, they can gain nothing; by peaceable and or derly conduct they may hope every thing. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

Sie,—Attacks against the Westminster School, and the con. duct of the Head Master, have lately appeared in the News papers. The following is a fair statement of the circumstances which ocurred there • _ Two King's scholars, after other unprovoked ill treatment of young Harri'on, threw stones and coals at him. One of them struck him on the back of the h , ad ; the nature of the 'injury was not at the time suspected, nor indeed was his condition con sidered dangerous by the surgeon who first dressed the wound. It is true that most deplorable consequences did ensue, but not till the offenders had been punished. The offence, though wan ton and highly reprehensible, appeared to the Head Master to proceed rather from thoughtlessness of the result, than from any malicious intention of causing serious injury. He did not, there fore, think himself compelled to expose the delinquents, to the ruin of their future prospects, to the stigma of expulsion. The punishment awarded was the next in severity that could be in flicted. They were publicly degraded, and will be thereby pre— vented front obtaining their election to either University. In the mean time, they are strictly debarred from all the usual indul gences allowed to their fellows. The sufferer, whose conduct ap pears in every respect to have been unblamable, is now entirely out of danger, and making rapid progress towards complete re covery. - . By inserting this you will oblige, Sir, your Most obedient servant, AN OLD WESTMINSTER. The Duke of CUMBERLAND visited his MAJESTY yesterday, at his Palace in St. James's. The Earl of ELDON visited the Duke of CumursaLArtn yesterday, at his residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. Mr. CHARLES FREDERICK WILLIAMS was presented at the levee by the LORD CHANCELLOR, upon hie being appointed King's Counsel. Mr. O'CONNELL.—The taking of the seat is now to be attempted on Tuesday next. Mr. O'Cox- NELL has delayed it for the purpose of preparing and printing an argument, to show that under the new, or Catholic Relief Bill, he is entitled to his seat ; and for the purpose of having such pamphlet first in the hands of all the Members, he postponed the appearance to claim the seat from Thursday last till Tuesday next. Mr. O'Con- NELL ham distinctly announced these his intentions to his friends. —Morning Paper. KING'S CONCERT ROOM.--Mr.MOSCIIELES gave, yesterday morning, his annual concert in this roam. Mademoiselle SONTAG, Madame 111 A LIBILAN, and Miss CRAMILR, were among the vocalists with their attractive aid on the occasion. RIOTS AT MANCHESTER.—MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—I am glad to say that there has been no renewal of the disturbances here to-day, and that all was quiet this morning at Stockport, Ashton, Old ham, Rochdale, Bury, and Bolton, from all of which places I have had communications. 'A great number of persons were brought up before the Alag!strates at the New Bailey this morning, and six or eight of them were committed for trial. The Grand Jury is now sitting, and as bills will be immediately preferred against them, it is probable that ere the week is over they will be convicted and sentenced. About a dozen men were sentenced to three months' hard labour as vagrants, having been found going about in gangs, asking charity in a manner which made people afraid to refuse them. A number more were dis Missed, with admonitions not to be found beg ging, and to go to the overseers if they were really in want." It is melancholy to reflect that since the 11th of April only, five murders have been perpetrated, one in the precincts of our city, and four in the county. —Cork Conatittetion.
