might fairly infer, that had his Gallant Friend been apprized of each particular case to be brought forward, he could have as clearly and minutely answered it. His Hon. and Gallant Friend had not only reiroved the imputation of abuse, but had shervn positive merit in the administration of naval affairs. The House would perceive that promotion must necessarily be regulated by seniority expressly, or must be left to - the discretion of some quarter which should be empowered to Nulate it according to merit. Such a power was, from its nature, liable to abuse ; and had his. Honourable and Gallant Friend not admitted this, had he not admitted that some uegree of influence prevailed, in this particular, he should not have for him that respect which he had. The mixed nature of the service rendered it impossible that there should not be some degree of influence, and then the question pre sented itself to the House as one of degree. Vas the influence in question too much; and was it allowed to operate in favour of unworthy objects. Th.: case made out by his Gal lant Friend completely negatived this question. Then, with regard to the encouragement given to persons of birth and rank, he would say that this circumstance, contributing, as it did, to preserve the mixed nature of the service, was one of its greatest advantages. All classes were brought together ; the lower had the means of making their way to honour and ad vancement, and any feeling of pride which might be supposed to actuate the higher was corrected by both classes being rubbed together in mutual hardship and danger.—(Hear, hear !) It should be recollected that the Admiralty had not only to ad minister the affairs of the Navy, but to maintain the Navy it self ; anti after the statement made by his Gallant Friend, he thought there could be little difference of opinion on the ques tion whether the Navy did not now stand upon principles cal culated to maintain it.—(Hear, hear!) sr F. M. OMMANNEI' said he :should like to ask the Gallant Admiral how many Masters had been promoted since the war ? They were deserving men, and ought to be pro moted. They were the most efficient men in the day of battle. --(Cries of Question, question.)—He thought the House ought not to neglect the humbler classes of the Navy. The Hon. MeMber proceeded to make some further observations, but the impatience of the House for the question was so great, that they were either inaudible or were heard too irregularly to admit of any arrangement. The Hon. Member moved as an amend ment a Resolution which we understood to be to the following effect :—" That the House is satisfied that the powers vested in the hands of the Admiralty are exercised with discretion and judgment; but that an humble Address be presented to his Majesty praying that lie will be graciously pleased to give directions, that, for the future, no Officer of the Navy be pro moted to the rank of Rear-Admiral, to be superannuated im mediately afterwagis ; and that Captains shall take rank by seniority only : " No one having seconded this amendment, it fell to the ground. Mr. HUME shortly replied. He observed, that he was ready to rest his case on Lord Frederick Thynne's promotion, for a grosser act of favouritism never occurred. In whatever manner the House might deal with this question, he knew that he had the navy and the country with him. The previous question was then put and carried on the two first resolutions. On the third Resolution the House divided— Ayes, 32—Noes, 153—Majority against the Resolution, 121. On our re-admission into the gallery, we found that the pre vious question had been put and carried on the remaining reso lutions. Mr. WESTERN moved for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the existing law relative to the qualification for jurors. Mr. PEEL, said, he did not mean to oppose the introduction of the Bill, as the subject was one of great importance, but at the same time he would not pledge himself to support it.— I, was accordingly - tnted. .4eave Bra', CORONATION EXPENCES. Mr. HUME rose to introduce a subject which he considered •f importance. Having stated the facts respecting the Corona tion on a former night, he should be brief. The lion. 31ember for Knaresborough made a motion on the subject of the French indemnity in 1818, and from that period they had received no account of the indemnity from the French Government. — TO Chancellor of the Exchequer had indeed stated that a portien of it was appropriated last year without applies tuntcto Parliament. He complained of his Majesty's Minis ters for having taken on themselves to make that appro priation. It appeared impossible the proceedings could be justified. In 1821 it was said the money was applied to the Coronation. It was astonishing how the expellee of the Coro nation could have been so great. One of the items was the diamond bauble which had been kept onhire in a useless state. He thought a Committee ought to be appointed to inquire why the expellee of the Coronation had so much exceeded the Esti mate, and concluded by moving, " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the circumstances which occasioned an expence of 13,8281., in the charge for the Coronation, more than the Estimate of 1820. Also to inquire why 113,2181. had been applied to the discharge of the Coronation expenses with. out the sanction of that House." The CI IA NCH LLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not ad mit that there had been the slightest misapplication of the money alluded to by the Hon. Member. He was sure the house would feel it was impossible to present any estimate of the real expence of the Coronation. Many offices retained at the former Coronation had been abolished by Mr. Burke's bill, and under all the circumstances, it was a guess more than any thing else. It was obvious that the expence of a Coronation now must be more titan it was 80 years ago. With respect to the Crown and the Robes, he could say, that the price fixed on at the time of the Coronation was 60,080/. Other articles of the regalia and particularly the circlet, were Wed. The expence of the Coronation of George the Third was 15,0001. The additional expence in the last Coronation was occasioned by the new crown. It was not known precisely when the Coronation would take place, consequently the Crown was kept on hire. After the Coronation took place, it became desirable that the crown should be purchased, and become part of the Public Regalia, but his Majesty's Government knowing the expellee of the crown would he 65,0001. they did not de cide upon the purchase until they ascertained what the total exPetiee of the Coronation was. His Majesty was disposed to sacrifice, with that consideration which marked his conduct, ant of the Royal Revenue, 30,11001. per annum. It was after wards ascertained that the purchase of the crown was not an ad visable measure. It was therefore sent back, and the hire paid. It was abandoned on account of the expence. The other Item, namely, the robes, constituted an expence of 24,0001. It was required that the Sovereign should have two distinct dresses. He could not say whether gold lace or embroidery was an inch broader than the dresses used at former Coronations. It was not a subject for the consideration of the liouse.—(Hear !)—There was a set of Robes which his Majesty wore at the opening of Parliament. These robes were always new at the Coronation. His late Majesty, however, did not order new Parliamentary robes. He went to Parliament in robes near a century old, 'and if any one had trod on the t rain, it must have been left in a tattered state. It was therefore not extraordi nary that his present Majesty should require new Parlia mentary robes. It was not surprising that the total expence of the Coronation should have exceeded the estimate. The lion. Gentleman supposed there had been a misapplication of ' the indemnity money from France. Parliament, in the Ways and Means, never did appropriate that find; therefore Go vernment were competent to apply the indemnity to the Coro nation, because It wits a public service. The people of the country had never treated the ceremony with the levity of the Non. Member. Government were justified in applying it to a public service. lie concluded by giving the motion his com plete negative. The House dividd— For the motion - - 77 Against it . 127 Majority - - - —5 O The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the third reading of the Scotch Commissaries Bill. Mr. GIIA NT objected to the discussion at so late an hour, and moved the House do adjourn. Laird A. HAMILTON said he had never had an opportu nity of doing his duty on this Bill. Mr. Secretary PEEL said the inquiry, into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin, had occupied ao much of their time, that he had been obliged to postpone the considerati on of five Bills affecting the subject penally. if any time could be selected for the discussion of the subject he was sure his Hon. Friend would adopt it. After a few words from Mr. KENNED" and Mr. W. S`stlTll, the LORD ADVOCATE said the Bill was of importance to the Public, as it abolished five patent places. lie should, however, consent once more to postpone it to give the Noble Lord an opportunity of making his objection. Possibly Tuesday might suit the Noble Lord. Sir G. CLERK hoped it would be brought on earl y . The Noble Lord ass ented to the arrangement ; and M r. n ''' RANT having withdrawn his amendment, the third reading was fixed for Tuesday. The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House -adjourned at ONE O'CLOCK.

The Moniteur contains the Report of Count BOURDESOULT, commanding the troops of the expedition in Andalusia, to the Duke d'AN GOULEUE, detailing the particulars of his attack on the Spanish troops under the command of General PLACENCIA ) in the vicinity of Visilo, on the Bth instant. The Spaniards are said to be completely disperted, with the loss of 600 in fantry, 50 cavalry, and 18 Officers prisoners ; a standard, two cannon, three store waggons, a quantity of baggage, and a chest, containing 17,000 francs, also fell into the hands of the victors. The Jourual des Debuts announces that the Spanish Regency, established by the Duke d'ANGOULEME at Madrid, has abolished the De cree of the Cortes which had reduced the Tithes one half, and has restored them to their full amount. 'rho same Regency have notified their intention to apply to the Pope for authority to levy upon the revenues of the Clergy a subsidy of only ten millions of reals, instead of the thirty which they have contributed to the expences of the State during the last six years. The following article from the Journal du Commerce communicates the gratifying intelli gence that the attempt to effect a counter-revolu tion at Lisbon has completely failed PARIS, JUNE 17.—Letters from Lisbon of the 2d of June, (the day posterior to the pretended abolition of the Portuguese Constitution, according to the French Ministerial reports) an nounce, that Sampayo had, completely failed in his attempt on that capital. The Militia and this Citizens armed to defend the Royal residence. The Rebels wertboaten, and it is added that their Chief has fallen into the hands of the conquerors. The letters which bring these facts, speak also of resolutions taken by the King and the Cortes in respect to the Infant (Don Michael), whose deportation had been resolved upon. The reserve, which it is our constant rule to maintain, induces us to wait for official information to communicate to our readers. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. At a late hour this forenoon we have received by express, Paris papers, from which the follow ing are extracts : ( From the Constitutionnel.) NEWS FROM SPAIN.—(MADRID, Juxx 8.) Ballasteros is at Teruel, and from thence he it going to Jativa. By some it is stated that he has from 6 to 7,000 men ; and according to other accounts, 9000. It appears that a French division of li,ooo men is advancing against him. We enjoy here the greatest tranquillity We hear from Seville that the Constitutionalists have decreed the suppression of the convents. The Archbishop of Lugo, Outmoded by Quiroga and ' Wilson, was ill. MorillO has arrived, at Lugo. SINGUES, JUNE 4.—We are continually occu pied here in forming the blockade of Pampeluna and the Citadel, without any other mode of at. tack but patience. 'Fni'.theso two months past we have been expecting the besieging artillery ; but they are not yet arrived. An event has taken place here of a most serious description. The day before yesterday, the.c2d . June, a revolt took place amongst the SpanithiPlaltroops of Navarre. They wished to restrairt . theAutiority of the Vice roy Lieut.-General COMA EsPagite.,A. deputation of all the Officers (one regitnentieieepted) pre- Count, aud signified . to sented themselves to tioldiers,. that they would him, on the part of the not any longer recognize • his .authority. They also declared that they would not obey any other authority than the ancient Junta of Navarre. Count Espagne found himself in'a critical sittny !, lion. An extraordinary Messenger was sent to Madrid with the above information, PERPIGNAN, JUNE 1 0,---(Prinate Correspond ence.)—Joseph del Estany and Romagova, who were charged to defend Relver, retired at the approach of Mina's troops, without tiring a shot, marching on Puycerda ; and it appears that our military are dissatisfied with their conduct.— If these troops had defended Belver ) Mine could not have entered Cerdagne, without having lost a great number of men. Rom gosa had with him 1,000 men of the Army of the Faith, and GOO men were sufficient to de fend Balver, and to have retarded Mina for two or three days. Mina, who marches without artil lery, after having visited all the villages of French Cardagne, defiled on th© 7th with his corps by the Col de Tosas. PA RIS, JUNE 17 .—W e have not learnt as yet any thing positive of the rcsalt of the Military Insurrection in Portugal. :The Diario of Lisbon, of the 31st May, says that the Rebels have united at Santarem. ROYAL MARINE.—The frigates Antigone, the Galathee, the illagicienne, ►each of 44 guns, and the corvettes Iris and S:ylphe, left Brest, L'Orient and ltochfort, on the 7th June, to cruize in the Gulph of Gascoigne and on the coast of Spain. The Oracle of Bruxelles contains the follow ing " According to letters from Leghorn of the 29th of May, the report was in that town that a Russian fleet would immediately sail for the Mediterranean to cruise in the sea of Malta."

Private letters from Arragon of' the 7th state, that he has entered Teruel, and had not found an enemy. He con. tinned his march on Valence. The towns of Pla centia, De Coria, and several others of the pro vince of Estremadura, have proclaimed the abolition of the reign of the Cortes, and the re-establishment of Ferdinand. A letter from Seville of the 7th speaks of some disorder having taken place there. NEWS FROM PORTUGAL. On the 29th, the Infant Don Michel had his head quarters at Santarem, where he was joined by several regiments of the line and militia, and by a great number of Officers and Generals. A report prevails, that the 17th regiment, which guarded the King in his capital, took his Majesty to Santarem, and the 18th Regiment, in Garrison at Cascaes, took away the Infantes,and at Ramallao the Queen, and conducted them to the head-quarters at Santarem.

Spanish Bonds. 39i to 40. Last night there was an important and deeply interesting Debate in the House of Lords on the State of. Ireland. The Opposition, of courbe, charged all the sufferings of that ill-fated country to the misgovernment of Ministers, and not only to their misgovernment, but to the utter apathy and indifference with which they regarded the frightful and alarming state of the Sister Island, and to the seeming resolution which they had formed of never attempting any one practical mea sure for its relief. The Duke of DevoNsittac led the attack upon Ministers, in a speech, which, though we regret to say that the Noble Duke seemed to labour under the effects of serious in disposition, was remarkable for the eloquence and force of its composition, and for the calm ness,ielegance, and dignity of its delivery.—The defence of the Ministers, however, was most triumphant. Earl BATUURST and Lord MARY.. BOKOUGH repelled the assertion that Ministers had manifested a disposition to do nothing for the amelioration and conciliation of Ireland, by the recapitulation of some of the important measures which the British Governmeat and Parliament had actually adopted, since the Union, with a view to the exclusive be nefit of that country, and of the further men• ,sures for the same purpose which are now either under consideration in the Cabinet, or are ac tually in, progress through the Legislature. This statement of Ministers, which was intended only as a defence against the allegations of the Oppo sition respecting their past conduct, and their presumed views and intentions, was somewhat ingeniously comulented on by Lord HOLLAND,I who attempted to produce an impression that Ministers had made it, not for the purpose of proving the sincerity of their wishes for the prosperity of Ireland, but for the purpose of proving that they had already done all that in their opinion could be done for that country, and that the continuance of Irish discontent was no evidence of the want of paternal solicitude ow the part of the Govern ment, but was a proof merely of the ingratitude of the Irish people ! This version, however, was too flimsy to pass the House. The retort of Minsters, that their opponents dealt only, with the excep tion of the Catholic Question, in generalities, and that they had not brought forward, and apparently could not bring forward, any distinct and practical proposition for improving the condition of Ire land, was much better founded. The Earl of favEarooL, in a speech of overwhelming elo quence, to which it is impossible for any news paper report to pretend to do justice, completed the destruction of the case prepared by their op ponents, and may be said to have terminated the discussion. The truth is, as it appears to us, that the best remedy for the calamitous condi tion of Ireland will be found in the prglitable employment of her people. Ministers are fully sensible of this ; and in the course of last night's discussion, repeatedly expressed (in allusion to a Petition from Dublin, which had been previ ously presented by the Duke of LEtNsTEn in favour of Mr. OWEN'S Plan), their readiness to support any practicable proposition for giving employment to the Irish peasantry. In our fourth page we have inserted two ac counts of a very unfortunate and fatal dis turbance which has occurred at Maghera, in the County of Derry, Ireland.—That respect able paper, the Dublin Correspondent, received this morning, contains a very different version of the affair, for which we have not room to-day, but which we shall insert to-morrow. At a late hour on Wednesday night a Spanish Courier arrived at the Foreign Office with Dis patches from the Regency at Madrid. CORN EXCHANGE, Juwx U. The arrivals of Grain this week are again rather considerable. Wheat hardly obtains Monday's prices. Barley finds vary few buyers. Beans and Peas are very heavy in sale.

ALDERMAN MAGNA Mr. WELCH said, that as he scorned to say any thing be hind a man's back, and as Alderman Magnay was not present, he would not now proceed with the business relating to that worthy Alderman ; hut he here gave notice, that at the next Court he would bring it forward. The Loan MA von asked in what manner the worthy Mem. ber meant to bring it tbrward ? 31r. Wgr.cri replied, that he would first ask the worthy Alderman if he would avow the words to be his which were re ported in The Times; and if he did, he would then move a vote of censure upon him. LONDON BRIDGE. The report presented and the resolutions proposed at the last Court having been read, The REMENIDRANCER read the different clauses or the Hill, and pointed out the alterations they bad undergone in the Committee of the House of Commons. Mr. l)sxoN inquired of Mr. Montague, the city architect, whether, if a bridge were built of the dimensions specified in the Bill, with die necessary approaches, &e. it would cost less than a million of money Mr. Mox rAtm E . said he had calculated it at fr2fi,oool. ; but considering the small difference between the two sums, perhaps it would be prudent to put it down as a million, In reply t , some questions from Mr. Jones, Mr. Montirgue said, that frout the suns he had s t ate d, tio,ooo/. was to b.! deducted, as the amount of the duty on stone, and of the sums necessary for securing the other bridges. The discussion on the resolutions was then resumed ; and after szveral Gentlemen delivered their sentiments, and 31r, Jo str.s replied, the Court divided— For the original motion, 24 For the amendment NI Ma jority, 42. - Mr. Ron Tit then proposed as a second amendment, a ►series of Resolutions, condemnatory of the Bill in its present shape, and directing measures to be taken for opposing it in all is future stsges in Parliament. This amendmens, after some di*. cussion, wus carried without a division. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.--(Sucown DAy.) TITOT TY Tit r. ALMONTLY. John Byrne, David and WilYart Upton, John I,ee, John Hamilton, Jeremiah Martin, Crne.: lius Conner, Mary Conner, Johannah Ilamilon, and :11 Etry Buckley, were indicted for assembling in Duke's -court, the Almonry, on the 19th May, and creating a riot. A number of witnesses were called to prove the riotous as= ambling, several of whom stated that they had been knocked down by David Hamilton and others without provocation : also that they used very dangerous weapons, had drawn a sword, threatening any person who came near, and forcing from a corporal in the 11nards his bayonet, brandishinz it, and swearing he would run any one through. At length Pottle, with n number of other officers and Bow-street patrole, arriving, they were soon after dispersed without doing furthe,.. mischief; the officers, however, succeeded in apprehending the ' prisoners in different parts of the houses. Mr. ALLEY addressed the Jury for the prisoners, and called several witnesses in their behalf. The CILOWMAN' (Mr. CovFT) Summed up, and the Jury found all the prisoners Not Guil'y7 Mails from Holland and Flande►rs arrived last night. The most important article of their con tents is a statement of twelve of the Algerine squadron having been captured by the (reek.. The German Observer (a paper printed at Slut+• Bard) has been suppressed by the Diet, in cotter quence of some offensive articles having lately appeared in it ; and the Editor prohibited from editing any similar publication for the next five years. The Ambassador of Wirtemberg declined voting on this occasion. Three Hanoverian, two Swedish, ono Frond, and one Danish vessel, have been taken and car ried into Algesiras, by privateers from that port, between the 15th and 27th ult. Two have been since released.
