The Earl MTHUII:ST presented a 13i11 for amend ing the Law respecting the Ordination of Sniri mai Persons for the Cure of Souls in the Colo nies. At present, his Lordship stated; such or dination rested with the Bishop of LondoO, but . there Was no security that persons so ordained- would actually go Out trii the Colonies, nor were any of the Colonies Within the Diocese of the Bishirp„• The object of the Bill was, to vest the power of ordination for the inure of souls in the Colonies iu the Archbishop of "Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, and the BiShop of Lon don, and any other Bishop whom they might p point flit - that purpose, awl to enact (in order to insure the,going out to the Colonies of the per sons ordained), that before any persons were so ordained, they should produce a paper, shewing that they were culled to the cure of souls in the Colonies, and that they'should not be eligible to any ecclesiastical preferment in, England or Ile land, without the consent of the Bishop of the Diocese in which such preferment should be si tuated, the consent of the Archbishops, and a certificate of good conduct from the Governor or Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony where such person had done duty, or from the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department. There were other provisions to 'prevent intrusion into the Church of England of persons ordained out of its immediate Pale.

The Bill was read a first time, and ordered to he printed. IRISII FUNDS. The Marquess of LANSDOWNE stated; that the effect of the two late Acts for allowing Holders of English Stock . to transfer it to Ireiantl, had been to increase the relative amount of the Irish Debt, as compared with tie .power of the Sink• log rinid in Ireland,' which was scarcely fair to• wards the Irish holders of Stock. XVi , it a view to ascertain how the tact stood, he moved for an Account of the Capital Stock tranfterred from England to Ireland, under the said Acts.—Or dered.—Adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

Ile stated, that though the House had rejected his motion for trsn4erring . t he franchise from Barnstaple to large towns, be should nut relinquish that subject ; nor, till sortie such measure wits taken to introduce a more equal representation of the people in that I - louse, should he consent ito the imposition of one shilling in additional taxes. The West Middlesex' Water Works Bill was read a third time and passed. The Conveyancer's Qualification Bill, second reading, was postponed till to-morrow.

Bank. Sir J. NEWPORT wished to ask a question with respect to a Lottery Office Keeper of the City of Dnblin, who had been convicted of granting frandulent,policies,of insurance. He wished to know whether his license was continued to him ? He asked this question, because the same individual loud been elected Alderman by the City of Dublin, and might be, called ups to serve the office of Lord Mayor. It was worthy of the attention of the House in what manner that Corpora tion in this instance had executed its trust. " • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had no knowledge as to the fact in question. , Mr. SHAW said,: that Mr. Wheeler, the Gentleman in question, had been elected Alderman in the ordinary course, having. previously served the voice of Sheriff; in that office no mati had conducted himself better, of was more esteemed by his fellow-ciriiens. , Sir .1. NEWPORT said, be knew nothing of Mr.'WheelQ4, but the fact of his having besot so convicted, whi - ch rendered him, in his opinion 0.111 unfit person to till that office. The votes were - agreed to; the House resumed, and the Report was ordered to he teceitend to-morrow. The Irish Attorities', Bill was read a third time and passed. B:~~ili.

CHICLIEsTht: moved for leave- to bring in a Bill to prow-hie fot ss itiore equal asesststent of bionics levied I , y Pie. ,lltinenis in' Irelafal. In support of his motion, the Hon. lii.litleitatt stated scone instances of great ini,qoality in dit jet-sit Counties with' respect to the asss..ssment by the her,. Mr. C. GRANT sa4l a few words in sntkport of the Sir JOHN NEWPORT concurred its the propriety of.in it ()fluting a Bill to regulate the levy of SLUM o motley it; Icc- e =nun' on. c!ar ti that nothing cordd be more unequal and oppressive flint the mode by which the assessments here at present. made out; and the subject was well deserving of Parliamentary investi gation. Mr. LESLIE FOSTER said, that. he did not wish to oppose the Bill in the present stage; bur he thought it proper to apprize the House, that to carry a Bill for tine end proposed into effect, it would be necessary. to hare a new sort ey of all the acres in Ireland, which, at the rate of only qd. per acre, would cost the nation 300,00.01. He allowed that suet, a sur vey might be Made at a cheaper rate, by employing the Pail. cent of the prdnance Department ; but at the lowest vahliaz. thou, he contended that it could not l;e accomplished for less than 100.0001_ . Mr. CitOli..Efl observed that the public money could not be more properly or usefully expended than in employing Our Naval and Military Officers to make charts of the . coasts of Ireland and Scotlimd, .particularly the western coasts, the maps of-which were all deficient. The Hon. Member declared that such a maritime survey must, at all events,. 1:e under taken; and as the present Bill, as. well as other objects, made an aectirate,land survey, of Ireland equally necessary, built might be accoinplished together by the Ordnance Department at half the expense Which his Hon. Friend (Mr. Foster) had Stated. . • . After a few words from Mr. Vesyy Fitzgerald to the same purport, and an explanation by Mr. Chichester, who declai vd that he was willing to avail himself of rhe advice of the Hoo. Gentlemen who had delivered their opinions( on his motion; and that he was anxious that a subject so important should have the advantages of the roost Mature deliberation, leave was given to bring in the Bill. ADJOURNMENT. Lord CASTLEREAGLI gave notice, that he shon!d to- Morrow move, that the house on its rising do adjourn to Wed nesday next.., . Sir G. NOEL withdrew the notice he had given,for pro posing Resolutions respecting-the Roman Catholic Petitions, not, he said, because his mind was changed, hut because the public mind was not prepared to receive them. BANK tHARG ES, Mr. GRENFELL wished to ask the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, whether it was his intention to submit to the ' mince Committee the charge of the Bank of England for ma naging the public debt ?. If - it was not his intention to du so, he (Mr.G.) should move for a • Comniittee to inquire into the subject. The of the ExciuQuEn said. he bait obtained the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown on the subject, which he intended to submit to the considera tion of the Finance Committee. Mr. GRENFELL said he should call the attention'of the House to the subject after the recess. Lord A. HAMILTON olitineil leave for the Collimate« , on Scots Burghs to sit, notwithstanding adjournments of the House. CESSION OF PARGA. Sir C. MoNcx, in rising to make the motion. of which he had given notice, said, that except the deny which a care for the safety of his own coun try imposed on him, there was none which he more willingly undertook, than that which he had to discharge that evening. He had to call on the House in behalf of a people who were to be de prived of ali that made civil society valuable, pro tection for person and property, and the free ex.. eteise of religion. The people of Perga were now in possession of these privileges--be could not say in the enjoyment of them, for by the im prudence of the Noble Lord at the Congress, they were soon in danger of being slaughtered ignomi• nionsly by their cruel enemies the Turks ;, or leav ing their country, receiving a compulsory and in adequate compensation-for the goods they left be. hint! 'leaving their land to he shared amon, their, foes, and their Christian churches to he polluted with Mahometan ceremonies. If he - bad not strength of mind to impress,on the House all the circumstances which weigtiedie favour of the in labit ants of Parga , he hoped he should be able to stale enough to persuade the llouse, that they were called ie an especial manner by the ge nerosity and jes:lce which should - actuate tiient towards other states, and ,- : ,, oecrally - towards small states, which at their haz,,,Tfri, 6.141 been. OW friends in .War, to in:ertere to protert them from- the errors'iat our Ministers. That House could never, he thought, refuse its sympa7by of corhpassion to a people s tioggling for freedom, and therefore he was encouraged to calculate that the object of his motion' wog ld be graciously received, especially as military possession was taken of'Parga in the year 1314, by a lit it ish force sent by General ,Camp bell, upon a specific engacemeut with the people of that town that it 'was to foliose the fate at the Tonian Islands,'whatever that fate might he. The people of Parga thus confidently committed them selves to the prOtectiou of England, and was it possible that it was intended, as he uedeistood, to abandon this interesting people to the dominioo of the Turks? tie assured the House that in, bringine forward this motion be was not actuated by any party motives, or by any desire to incul— pate the Noble Secretary forPoreign Affairs, was not, he sincerely believed, by any means aware of the mischiefs liktly to r• suit float the transaction to which he had given his nssent. Ott -the contrary, indeed, he thought the Noblc Lord, when apprized of the consequences of the course upon which be had entered, would be ready to re ' trace his steps. -He gaveohe Noble Lord full credit .'tor a disposition to shrink from any Treaty that. threateped to produde such misery as must result • front the rim-render of the people of Pangs to the I 667 - Anion of the Torte, -Such a course would in deed he so abominable that be could :mot suppose any British Minister would give it 'his —(Hear, hear!)-- - -liere the Hon.

He next adverted to the transtur of those Islands to the joint prof eetion of Russia and the Porte, Hod the ineffectual endeavouts of the Pacha of Albania to obtain military possession of the town Parga. The arnitiary character of this l'aclia. could not I. a tsnknowo to the lIou•e ; and his promise to the people of Parga %VAS, that if they surrendered to him; they should be what he call ed COnlpellSkited for their present possessions, by being transferred to other places, while, truly, their tow!' was to be occupied by Ttirks, and their Christian churches converted into mosques.
