It is well known that the popular tragedy of , Venice Preserved, by OTWAY, is founded on the history of the Conspiracy of the Spanish Ambas sador Don Alphonso de la Cueva, Marquis of Bedmar, and which attempt to subvert the Re public of Venice was sanctioned by the Govern ment of Spain. His history by St. Real has al ways been admired for its accuracy, and the ele gance and conciseness of the style. We are happy to say that the recent translation of the work is accurate, and the diction remarkably pure and elegant. Since Kemble, and Kean, and Young, and O'Neil have shone in the tragedy of Venice Preserved, we flatter ourselves that the historical characters of the leading persons will be acceptable to our readers ; we therefore transcribe them from the work before us. The character of Bedmar is thus powerfully and .con cisely d raw n— " This minister was Don Alphonse de la Cueva, Marquis of Bedmar, the accreditedAmbassadoratyenice, and once( the most powerful and dangerous geniuses Spain has ever produced. We see by the writingshe has left that he was acquainted with every thing in modern histories that can form an extraordinary man. He compared' the circumstances related in them with those that happened in his own time. He observed with precision the re. semblances and differences of political affairs, and how much the points in which they differ change those in which they bear the resemblances. He generally pronounced his opinion on the success or failure of an enterprise when he knew the plan and the foundations. If he found by the result that he had been Mistaken, he traced back his error to its source, and endea voured to discover what had deceived him. By this study he had learnt what were the certain methods, and the true means, and the principal circumstances which in great undertakings presage success. This practice of continually reading, medi tating, and observing the things that passed in the world, had given him so much sagacity that his conjectures were regarded almost as prophecies by the Spanish Council. With this profound knowledge of the nature of important affairs, he possessed a singular talent in managing them ; a facility in speaking and writing infinitely agreeable ; a wonder ful, quick, and penetrating knowledge of men ; a frank and gay air, with more of animation than hrravity, and so far re moved from the appearance of dissimuliition that it approached almost to naivete; he was of a free and complaisant temper, more impenetrable because every one thought he could see through it, he had tender and flattering manners which invited confidence from the most reserved ; and every appearance of perfect easiness of mind under the greatest agitation." This accomplished Nobleman after his detection and passing a few years as Ambassador in the Netherlands was presented with a Cardinal's hat !—The work of St. Real has been compared to the Cataline of Sallust. It is not so splendid as the Roman's History, but more profound in the developement of the different characters of the conpirators, and more satisfactory in its details. The speech of Cataline has always been justly admired, but we think that in sophistry it yields to. the speech of Renault, and certainly the rea sons advanced by Cataline are selfish and mean compared with those given by the subtle Re nault ; the latter portion of his speech is thus splendidly translated. " Then do not let us fear to take the sword in one band and the torch in the other, to exterminate these wretches. Anti when we see these palaces, which are the thrones of impiety, burning rather with the fire of heaven than with ours ! the s e tribunals so often sullied with the tears of innocence consumed by devouring flames ! when we see the furious soldier with drawing his reeking hands from the bosom of the guilty; death on all sides ; and all that night and military license can pro. duce to render the scene more horrible ! let us then, my friends, remember that there is nothing pure in man ; that the most praiseworthy actions are subj ect to the greatest inco ns i s t enc y ; and finally, that the disor ders of the approaching night, are the only means of making . peace innocence, and liberty pre vail, instead of the various and dreadful excesses which deso late this unhappy state." Jallier, who is made by Otway the chi e f per son of his drama, who revealed the conspiracy, and was afterwards 'strangled, is thus depicted _afterhis last interview with Pierre, to whom he had spoken with fidelity and zeal ;—but " It was the last effort of his waning resolution, which en. tirely disappeared with the countenance of his friend ; and hay., i9g no longer before his eyes the only man who could restrain him, he abandoned himself to his uncertainty. The description which Renault had made of the night of the execution produced such an impression on him, that he could not moderate his pity. His imagination increased the force of this representa tion ; he pictured to himself in the liveliest colours, all the' cruelties and injustice which are inevitable on such occasions. From that moment he heard nothing but the cries of children trampled under foot, the groans of old men being murdered, the shrieks of women being dishonoured; he saw nothing but falling palaces, temples in- flames, holy places covered with blood. Venice, miserable and desolate, no longer appeared before him as formerly, triumphing over the Ottoman power and the pride of Spain but in cinders or in irons, and more bathed i n the blood of its inhabitants than in the waters which surrounded it." We should of course have proceeded to the character of Belvidera; but to Otway belongs the praise of creating that lovely and high minded heroine. The extracts we have given are in so polished and powerful a style, and form so great a con• trast, to the flimsy, and badly collocated manner of composing of the present day, that we hope the writer will, ere long, produce some original work. Some cursory remarks on theuse made by' Otway of the history in the composition of Venice Pre. served, are added to the narrative, but our limits will not permit us to do more than to extract the opinion given therein of tim talents of Otway. Ills greatest poStence appears to consist in exciting the tenderest sympathiS 'of our nature, for beings borne down by cruelty, oppression, and want. He makes them speak the language of' nature from the fulness of the heart, and to be so entirely engrossed by one feeling as not to allow • their minds to be*ttracted from it by incidental occurrences. His works do tuffimpress us with the opinion that his mind was either sufficiently' capacious, or possessed enough vigour, to have wrought out a great and intricate plot. His knowledge Or human nature seems to have been too circum scribed and too imperfectly. defined to have laid open with a master's hand the workings of a soul agitated by contending passions, eagef for the fulfilment of great projects , and possess ing an uncommon combination of principles. His neglecting to avail himself of description of the 'Marquis of Bedamer. in whom originated ...the dreadful conspiracy against the Re, public of Venice, may be considered as a proof that he knew the range of his abilities, and 'wisely declined attempting to render prominent a character, to have accomplished which would have strained even the, genius of Shakspeare." volume little volue will' drove interesting to every:lover of the Drama, since it contains in a pleasing form the history of one of our popular and frequently represented tragedies. It Juts been neatly published by Messrs. Carpenter in Bond-street. Q. - PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 10. The Duke of MONTROSE reported that his Majesty had been waited upon with the Address of their Lordships, in an swer to the Royal Message, which his Majesty received most graciously. Lord RE DESDALE presented A petition from Macclesfield, praying for a Bill for recoviiry of small debts. Mr. %VALLE R presented the Fourth Report of the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests. - Mr. Tommws from the Treasury, presented an Account of the payments made into the Treasury, on account of the Su perannuation List. Mr. FE RON presented Annual Accounts respecting the re ceipts and disbursements of the East India Dock Company. The above Returns were laid on the table. The Scotch Creditors' Bill passed through a Committee, and was agreed to without amendment. TITHES IN IRELAND. The Earl of DARN'LEY said, he observed by the votes on their Lordships' table, that a Bill was to be brought into the House of Commons by the Setreaty for Ireland, with a view to tbrward the COMmutation of Tythes in that part of the United Kingdom. He considered the subject so important, that he could not avoid expressing a hope that the Noble Lord. would have the goodness to state what the object of the intend ed measure was to be. He could not see why the subject had not been mentioned in that House. The Earl of LIVERPOOL.—" I wish to know how it is possible to meet the wishes of the Noble Earl. There are cer tain provisions in this Measure of a nature which makes it in convenient that the Bill should originate any where but in the other branch of the Legislature. When the measure is in a state to he laid before this House, the most regular course will be to move for Papers and print them. At the present time I am not aware there is any exiunple upon which information can be expected by this llouse. I have no objection to the discussion of this plan, but Ido not know how, consistently with the forms of the House, it is possible for the to bring on the consideration. Every, measure of this sort ought to have the most serious consideration ; and so far from wishing to throw any obstruction in the way, his Majesty's Government will be ready to receive any suggestion Noble Lords may offer, with a view to promote the welfare of Ireland. They will be glad to receive the assistance of any person acquaint ed with that country, in order to render perfect the details of the measure, but I do not see how, consistent with Par liamentary practice, it is possible for mo to di scuss t h e mea sure now. Isord KING called the recollection of the Noble Earl to a Bill brought in last year. The House did not consider the sub. jest sufficiently intelligible, and the Noble Lotd found a way of bringing information before the House, previous to the Bill being brought from the Commons. . The Earl of DAR NLE'Y in reply, observed that the Noble Earl appeared to call upon him to state some practical mode of bringtng the subject before the House. He could only say, he really thought the Noble Earl might inf orm hi mse lf of every thing that was passing on the subject. It was generally ad.. matted that Ireland could not long remain without material alteration in the laws and government, and he felt that the Noble Earl would have acted more consistently if there hail been a iiimultaneous opening of the intended measure to that House and the other. It was necessary their Lordships should know more of the matter than they were abl e t o o b tain from reports of proceedings in the other House. The LORD CHANCELLOR was persuaded that their Lordships should proceed with caution when documents were required which Mimed the conduct of the other House. It was possible, in the case alluded to by the Noble Earl, a Bill might be so modified as to nullify the incipient reasoning of either House, or the Bill might be thrown out. In either case it would be wise not to prejudge the question. The Bishop of ELY presented a petition from the City of Ely from certain Merchants and Traders, aainit the Insol vent Debtors' Act.— Laid on the table. The House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

LETHBRIDGE presented a petition. from several Gentry and Yeomanry of Somerset against the New Turnpike Act.—Ordered to lie on the table, and be printed. Mr. LENNARD presented a petition from Ipswich against the Insolvent Act. The Hon. Member spoke generally in fa. your of the petition, and alluded particularly to certain de. tails of the Insolvent Act which he considered as particularly injurious to the commercial classes of the community.

Mr. Secretary PEEL, seeing a Noble Lord in his place who had given notice of a motion on the subject of Scotch Ilepre. sentation for to-morrow, wished to know whether the Noble Lord would consent to postpone tho motion, in consideration of the absence, from illness, of his Right }lon. Friend the Se cretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Lord A. HAMILTON said he could not refuse the post ponement which was requested on account of the illness of that Hight lion.

Baronet said, he had altered his opinion on this subject; and thought, from expe rience, that the Act in question had been most mischievous in its effects. If his Majesty's Government did net see the ne. cessity of taking up the subject, he should himself do so in the course of the present Session. Sir M. W. RIDLEY presented a petition from the same place against the House Duty. Both petitions were ordered to lie on - the table and be printed. Mr. RICARDO moved that there be laid before the House an account of the number of persons who had 'received di vidends on the 3 per Cent. Stock due in January last, dis tinguishing the number of those whose dividends were under 101., M., 1001., 3001., 500/., 1,0001., and 2,0001. And a like account respecting the dividends last due upon the 33 and 4 per cent. stocks. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not rise to oppose the motion, to which he saw not the least objection; but as the accounts in question would take a considerable time in the making out, he thought the Hon. Gentleman would haveno objection to ive the house some idea of the purpose for which he wanted the information. Mr. RICARDO said he was aware the niakingUp the ac counts would take a considerable time, but he did not wish to press for them in any hurry, so as to inconvenience the Bank. Mr. DARIN°. proposed that the motion should be amended, so as to distinguish dividends under N. This was acceded to by Mr. RICARDO; and the motion, as amended, was put and agreed to. Lord A. HAMILTON presented *petition from the Royal Burgh of Perth, complaining that the corporate allitirs of the Burgh were mismanaged, and that the election was, in effect, made by the Magistrates.—Ordered to lie on the Table. DUTY ON COALS. Lord A. HAMILTON presented another Petition from the Coal Proprietors of Ayr, complaining of the Export Duty on Scotch Coal. The duty to which the Petitioners referred, and of which they complained, was, that which was imposed on the exportation of Coal from Scotland to Ireland. lie wishod to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite whether he in tended to propose any alteration of the Duty on Coals which might benefit the Petitioners. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not his intention to propose any alteration in the duty upon Coals. _ - Mr. GIIENFELL said, that as this Petition was connected with a question which had lately been much discussed in pub lie, he would take the present opportunity of stating his sen timentt on that question. He was not inclined to press this Session for any remission of the duty on coals. Many persons however were of opinion that the coastwise duty upon coals • was extremely oppressive ; and he trusted, therefore, that any further remission of taxes were decided upon, this particu lar tax would be well considered, with a view to its remission if possible. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON said the tax upon coals was gene rally felt by all classes of the community. Air. RENNET thought the two millions which had been i reserved for the support of public credit, as t was called, would go a t, , reat way towards relieving the public from the tax in question. That sum had, however; been applied to the Sink ing Fund ; and he had no doubt that Many months would not elapse before the house would see las Majesty's Government in possession of that very Sinking Fund. Mr. Alderman WOOL) thought the City of London had more reason than any other Place to complain of the duty on coals, as the duty was but Gs. itd. per chiddron on the crisis un laden on the other side of Gravesend, while it was nine shil lings on those unladen on the city side. The Country Gentle. men, he rather thought, were not aware of the importance of this tax, as it affected the agricultural interest; for the duty on coal operated as a tax of eight shillings an acre upon ground manured with lime. Sir M. W. RII)LEY concurred in opinion with the Hon. Alderman. He begged to observe, that the coal-owners of Tyne had nothing whatever to do with the high price of coals. They often received but six shillings a clutldron for the coal which was sold in London at 60s. ; and the highest price they ever obtained for the best Coal was fifteen shillings per chal. dron ; and this at a time when Coal was sold in London at be. tween seventy and eighty shillings. The profit derived by the Coal Owners was as small as it posssibly could be, taking into consideration the large capital which they were compelled to employ. Mr. LYTTLETON felt it to be his duty . to speak on be. half of some of his Constituents who were proprietors engaged in the Inland Coal Trade. As to the general question of the re mission of the Duty, he hail no doubt that its remission would prove of very little advantage to the public; for ha amount would find its way into the lockets of the retail Coal-dealers. At all events the remission of the Coast Duty would be a se. rims injury to the Inland Coal-dealers, unless the Inland Duty were also taken off: These duties had been established nearly a century, and the House would, undoubtedly, not take them off suddenly. lie was satisfied the doing so would be attended with the most ruinous consequences to those whobad embarked large capital in the Inland Coal Trade. Sir THOIVIAS LETHBRIDGE trusted the House would pause before they pressed the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take off' this duty. He was not, however, at all apprehensive that they were likely to do so. The question as to this remise sion of duty had caused a great sensation in the City; bathe trusted the House would never consent to injure the vested In. terestsof those who were engaged in the trade. Mr. MA RRYAT said, that considerations respecting the Inland Coal Trade would render his opinion unfavourable to the remission of this duty, though he thought, in its present operation, it was a great hardship. Ile had the means of knowing that, on account of this duty, the sugar refiners of the Hans Towns obtained English coal at a cheaper rate than' the London consumers. Lord A. HAMILTON, in answer to the observation of the Chancellor of the Exchquer, explained that the present peti tion did not complain of the general Duty on Coal, but on the duty which was imposed on the exportation of coal from Scot land to Ireland. Mr. GRATTAN said a few words in favour of the encourage ment of importation of coal to Ireland ; and the petition was then ordered to lie on the table, and be printed. WAREHOUSING BILL. On the motion of Mr. WALLACE, the House went into a Committe on the 'Warehousing Bill. The Chairman was di rected to move for leave to bring in a Bill to encourage the ware housing of goods, by exempting them from the paym e nt o f duty"on their first entry, The,House having resumed, the Chairman moved for, and obtained leave to bring in the Bill.

ARllll' BST!MATES. Lord PALMERSTON moved the Order of the Day for bringing up the Report of the Committee of Supply. Mr. HUAIE said, that before this Report was brought up, he was anxious to submit a Resolution to the House. In the speech which had been delivered by his :Majesty's Commis sioners at the beginning of the Session, it was stated that the Estimates which would be kid before the House had been framed with every attention to economy, lie b4d t h en ex . pressed a doubt whether the hopes held out by the speech would not be nearly destroyed ; and, looking at the estimates which had been laid before the. House, he could not forbear from saying that the expectation raised by that Speech had been altogether nullified. He should not, therefore, allow the Report to be bre up without endeavouring to p rove hi s assertion. The difference of amount between the It:stimates now on the table, and those of last year s was about 114,000/. This was the whole difference ; and this was the result of ail that had been promised: :O f this sum about 1,5001. only be longed to the Army Estimates ; anti yet thiti was upon an ex. penditure of upwards of Six, millions. The amount of those Estimates last year was 0,103,0001. and those of the 'present year amounted to 6,087,0001. He appealed, then to the Houst and to the country, whether Ministers were justified in putting into his Majesty's speech, the expressions which it contained on its delivery at the commencement of the Sessions. It could not be said that the army, either in amount or expence, bad been increased in consequence of the state of the country, with regard to its foreign relations; for the situation.of the coon. try was well known to Ministers, in the first instance. He did not now propose to go into the question whether more or less men were necessary in consequence of the state of the country, blit he complained that expectations had been held out which were not realised. He wished therefore to put upon record a feet, 'showing that those expectations were a delusion. He should move a resolution, stating, that upon an expenditure of six millions there had been only a reduction of 14,00 0 1. upon theComparbitin of similar expenditure last year, and adding, . PRICE SEVEN I'ENCI4 that this reduction had not realized the expectations held out by the speech delivered from the thMkje, which stated that the estiniates to be laid before the House, Would by found to be re duced, on a comparison with those of last year, and lobe framed with a due attention to economy. There were many Hag. Members who thought the army ought to be reduced, and that the reduction ought to be added to the nary. ,This also was a question which he should not enter i n t o at present, because he considered the Report about fo be brought up as altogether prt• visional, acid li a bl e to a l terat i on , should the situation of :the country call for it. He should not divide the. lionse'upon his motion, as he intended to divide it upon matters of detail, as they should be disclosed by the Report 3 but he merely Wi s hed at present 'to put th e sent im en t s he had expressed upon re cord. Re moved therefore an amendment to the question for bringing up the Report, a Statement of the conipiwative amounts of the Army Estimates for last year - and this year, and'" that so small a 'reduction as 16,0001. upon an expen diture of upwards of Six millions, does not realize the expec4 tation held' out by the Speech from the Throne, that the Esti mates would appear to have been prepared with a due regard to economy.". Colonel DAVIES said that he concurred in the opinions ex, pressed by his Hop. Friend, but he should not •oppose the vote for the numerical amount of the Army, as he feared that wet. was inevitable, . not. only between France and Spain, but be tween France and England. Sir W. DE CRESPRINY said, he hoped and had reason to believe that the tear expressed by his Hon. Friend .pmceesiod entirely from his own imagination. Lord PALMERSTON said, the motion of the Hon. Mem ber, called upon the Mouse to contradict the expressions con tained in the speech from the throne merely because he thought that the first of the various estimates to be laid before the House, did not show a sufficient reduction in the public expen diture. The House could . better form, and more consistently, express an opinion on the subject, when all the estimates have been gone through. With regard to the Army Estimates, it would be in the recollection of the House that lie had last year stated, there Would probably be an increase in their amount this year of .50,000/. They were, however, presented to the House, reduced by 18,0001. It was, in fact, 18,0001. as the Honour.' able Member would himself see it' he caked them up ; for there was a misprint of 3,000/. Be was therefore entitled to say, that the Army Estimates were presented to the Muse, substantially reduced by sixty-eight thousand pounds His Right Honour able Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had made his statement to.the House, on the public affafrs in a general way, including of course the Ordnance and Miscellaneous Estimates which arc not yet under the consideration of the House. .The reduction he (Lord P.) had just shewn,lonned only apart of the statement of his Right lion. Friend. The Amendment was then put and negatived ; and. the Re port was brought alp and read. • On the first Resolution, stating the amount of the Army, • Mr. BENNET said that he consented to this vote expressly on account of the peculiar situation of the country. Were h .not for that peculiar situation, he Should consider the number of men as considerably too large. - The Resolution was then agreed to. The second Resolution, for the amount of th e c h arge f or t h e Land Forces, was agr ee d to. On the Resolution respecting the charges for the Recruiting Department,' Colonel DAVIES said the amount of. this Vote was increas ed every year, and appeared to increase with the reduction of our army. He was satisfied that if a differeht mode of carry. ing on the recruiting departthent were adopted, it would be rendered much more efficient and less expensive. Since he had had the honour of a seat in that 'House, he had always con donned the present mode, and he Merely mentioned it new, lest his taciturnity might be understood as an alteretion of his opinion. In the present vote, there was a considerable charge for remounting two regiments of cavalry. Ile • wished the Noble Lord to state what had become 'Of the old horses belong ing to those regiments. Lord PALMERSTON expressed conviction that the pre. sent mode of conducting the recruiting department, was the most efficient and least expensive. His conviction had beell produced by experience. The charges for the present year appeared to be increased, but in that they were not so, as the apparent increase arose from the remounting of the two nients alluded to by the question of the lion. Member. Those regiments had recently arrived from India, and the expence of remounting them could, th ere fo re , not f a i rly b e called a part of the expence of the present year. Tile old horses had been sold; and - the difference of expence between the amount for which they sold and the amount of the purchase afresh horse's was all that had been - charged in the'Estirmites. - • Mr. BI NNET suggested tri* the Noble Lord. the propriety of removing the most intolerable nuisance of the Life and Horse Ouards being allowed to exercise in the Parkft, to the • great disturbance of persons riding there, and of• those who lived within sound of their fire arms. The Resolution was then agreed to. On the Resolution for a Vote of Supply for Public Depart ments, Mr. HUME said, he thought the whole Establishment the Audit of Old Ac coun t s oug h t to be put an end to, the only efibet of it being to give vexation to the persons on whom it operated. If °averment had. been negligent in passing - public accounts, i t was not f a i r to individuals to bring them in debtors after a lapse of upwards of twenty years. Mr. T. WILSON concurred in the view taken by the Member for Aberdeen as to the unfair and vexatious operation of thii mode of doing public business. Lord PALMERSTON could only assure the House that great progress had been made in examining the Accounta arrears. lie admitted the hardship pointed out by the Mit. Member who had spoken, and it was in consideration of that that he had abstained from that rigour which marked the, exa mination of accounts of the present day. Thus, where an accountant was found to admit that he hail a huhu* in hand, there could be no reason for not informing the claimant. - - Where also a charge was made, obviously with a view to fraud, the means of recovering it were not relaxed. But in other cases the same severity was not observed. As to the expence of the department, it cost last year 00001., and had recoveref public money to the . aMourit of 60,000/.—(llear !) The defa l i, cations discovered in the accounts of agents were dednctid from the issues due to diem for the year in which the Wan ces against them were struck. In this way 4500/. had beer, re covered. and 15,0001. in addition had actually been r,aitt'into the Bunk of England. Ile anticipat e d a n e a r ly tern hation to the labours of this office, but •in the mean time the Weise would see that the public had no cause of compl lt im against it..-.(}lsar On the Resolution for a Vote for die Irish Volunteer Corps, Mr. HUME; renewed his objections to the ccuitinuance of the yeomanry system in Ireland. It was adniitted that the Loki°. city of these corps were Orangernen, and surely the GOVW:. ment would not encourage the maintenance of a body who were bound by oaths to a cause inconsistent with the present polivy of the adruinistration of affairs in that country. Manytot these corps, comprising in all, he believed, upwards of thirty drew. sand men, would not allow a Cathohe Cu enter them, and- thus it was, that instead of maintaining the peace, they were thetirst disturbers of it.--(Hear, hear !)—He heard the cheers' of Hem. _Members, but he asked some of them who cried "Um'," whe.. then they did not know what he said to be true—whether they diet not know instances in which the yeomanry eorps had been regarded as the instigators of disorder. IThe Honourable Member here made some allusion to the Lontiontlerrr.cotpa of yeomanry, the terms of which we did not diatinctlr.h444.l —lle asked the Attorney-General for Ireland, 'whether these men had not treated him, in effigy, with every indignity , on account of his acting in a manner which marked his hose lily towards Orange principles.; Be believed they were more opposed to the Government than not,—and tee asked, whe. ther this was a fit state of things In which these men ought to be allowed to have arms in their hands? He knew the utility of these corps of yeomanry when they were first embodied, but the time was passed for that, and they ought nu lonost to be encouraged. Ife took that opportunity of saying, OW he had been mistaken relative to a motion he bed givennotiee'of for the 30th April. It had been supposed from that notice that he wished to remove the Marquis Wellesley from Ireland. His intention, however, was quite the reverse, and he hopfd would long remain there. His object was, to hare certain re. golations made relative to the' Noble, Marquiss l / 2 successor, whomsoever he might be. • Now with - regard to these yeo. manry cops, he hoped his Majesty's Government:would let the Bill with respect to theft ewe., and for that purpose he should propose an Amendinent, which would H o to cut oirthci , fromun Je next, at which period the Bill naturally ex pired, Ilr was sorry-the l a te Secretary for Itels , ol was not in the llouse, ter he was sure they would have heard from. , hint that he woe adverse . o 0010 corps et ) Plln'std " thangtor***
