It was to be ob. s i-ti e d, 'hat thotogb not more than half the items ot the e.timates were brought forward, there ev , is AU increase on them of half a million beyond list year. Lord I'ALMERSTON said, the number of volon; tuer anti yeomanry corps had been increased. The exact number he could not state, as the services of those corps were accepted, not by the War- Office, but by the Home Department. The in- crease on the Estimates was merely on the vo lunteer service, and from the charges of calling • out the pensioners. Colonel DAVIES observed, there was no diminu tion on any other branch. After the professions of economy which had been made in the last Session, he had expected to see some proofs of it. As he was now mentioning ;be subject, he should give notice, that early after the Recess he should move for a Committee. to Inquire into the Military Expenditure —to shew the people that the House was not inattentive to their interests, for be was convinced that -no branch of the public service more needed inquiry. The vote was agreed to. On the question that 300,0001. be glinted for the service of Ireland, CHRLSTMAS RECESS. Mr.'TtERNEY asked what it was the intention of the Noble Lord to propose respecting the ad journment ? Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that the state of the business before the•Hotise was such, that it would not be possible to rise till the Ist of January or 30th December. It had been usual to adjourn till the Ist or 2d of February ; but as much pub lic business would be expedited before the.ad joornment , he should propose to adjourn till the Stir or 10th of February. The vote of 300,0001. was agreed toi as was 30.0001, tar General S aft, 10 0001. for Staff in Ireland, and various other .1111 IS, on account for Surgety, the Military College, &c. MISDEMEANORS BILL. - Tbe Report of the Misdemeanors Bill was br.ioght up. Lord EBRINGTObI said, that as he had opposed all the other new measures which had been lieu posed to the H.use, he was glad to state that the clause in this Bill which limited the time for pro. iecutiog ex-officio informations, met with his warm approbation. INIr. DEN MAN said, he cousid-red the Bill as an improvement in the Law of linghtud.. Though he was not desirous of clogging its progress by the addition of clauses, he should mention, that as the law now stood, every prosecutor on a inkde- Hicanour had the power, without cause assign ed, of removing the cause by certiorari to the king's Bench, by which process it often hap pened, that if the defendant was found guilty, he had to pay much more for expences than any fine imposed on him by the Court. Now, as the defendant was to be prohibited from re moving the case without shewing . cause, the pro secutor should in like manner be restrained. He took this opportunity of stating, that unless some Gentleman of greater weight took the matter up, lie should bring it before the House. He sug gested too, that it would be an improvement on the Bill if the certiorari was not to issue without a notice to the opposite party. BettNALI. suggested that the Officers of the Crown should, in the•eas,e of ex•qfficio informa ►lo►►, be allowed to enter a nolle prosequi, without pu►ting the defendant to the trouble of au appli cation to the Court. Mr. G. LAMB said, tbat having originally put the question respecting the limiting of ex-officio informations, which had been so satisfactorily answered by the clause of the Bill before them, he ti.lt it his duty to state his satisfaction at the'al- trration which had been made. He trusted too that this would be sent out to the country as the permanent measure, and that the other Bills snoilld be considered as medicines beneficial only 19r the moment. The ATTOHNEY•GENERAL inserted as an amend ment, atter the words directing an application to the Court, the words, " free of all expeuce to the panty applying." Mr. DENMAN said, it had been doubted (though he believed it applied to Wales) whether it applied ii that country. Tile ATTORNEY-GRNEMAL said it certainly did. The Report was agreed to.—Adjourned.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday last, %villa were due this morning, have not arrived. New York Papers arrived this morning to the igth November : (From The New York Paper of the 17th.) HAVANNAti, OCT. 3 1.—The new troops suffer severely from the climate. The rains have been unfortunately violent for these last lb days, and the y is very sickly. In consequence of the 3600 soldiers recently arrived, 1 have ascertained, that 316 privates and 17 officers have been buried, and 1045 are now in the Hospital. (From The Commercial' _Vet - rarer, Nov. 15.) Captain l NGLE, of the brig Commodore Barry, arrived this morning in 16 days from the Balize, has favoured us with a Louisiana' Gazette of the 22d October. We understand that the New Or leans Gazette of the 21st mentions, that a large number of Spanish troops (about 2000) have landed at Pensacola. If this be true, the troops are doubtless those mentioned in an extract of a Letter from . Anietia Island. FROM ST. UGUSTIN e--The National Inlelli- gencer gives the following as a postscript of a letter from an Officer at Amelia Island, under date of the 30t1) ult. 4- ‘ By the arrival of the mail from Augustine; news has been received that a vessel from the Havanna() had at rived at that place, bringing in formation that 1500 troops were to sail from the latter to the former place in a few days; and that the Governor had put i close confinement the Captain of the vessel for giving publicity to the report." FIRE AT wiLMINGTON...-A Letter received in Philadelphia mentions, that 200 houses were de stroyed, and the total loss is estimated at one miJ- lion dollars. The Letter also mentions, that Mr. FARQUHAR Mqhe was killed by the falling of a brick wall. The Funds have risen this morning, and sever ral purchases to a great extent have been made: It is said in The British Press of this day that the Bill for the Prevention of Seditious Meeting. ought to be styled, " A Bill for the effectual Pre- rention of all Public Meetings."—We are always reluctant to enter into controversies with any of our Competitors, and particularly with The 'British Press, which appears to us to be the only legiti mate Opposition Journal now extant in the Me tropolis, all the rest being more or less infected with the Radical contagion. —The Writer in The British Press must know that all Public Meetings are not prevented by the measure in question, but that it is, what it professes to be, a Bill to regulate Public Meetings in such a man ner as may secure the Country from Seditious and Rebellious Assemblages, which, if not pre vented, might end in the destruction of every thing valuable and sacred in the Country.— The eyes of the Public are constantly directed to wards the conduct of all Public Functionaries, and the consciousness that such unceasing ob servation prevails will operate to prevent all abuse of power, when Requisitions are Made for Meetings not inconsistent with the safety of the Realm. Can The British Press, venture to say, that Seditious Meetings should ❑ot be effectually prevented, as likely to delude Phe ignorant, stimulate the factious, and en . dmtger the welfare of the Empire Study it will not be hardy enough to answer in the affirmative. Public Meetings, therefore, in these times, ought to be guarded by doe regulations, and no Meetings for lawful and necessary purposes ate prevented by the proposed measure, a measure that is intended only to be temporary, and to ter minate as soon as it is no longer obviously essen tial for the protection of Govertment, and the se cuti,y of the Con►titution. The Bath and West of — England Agricultural Society have struck Mr. HUNT'S name out of their list of menthe's, in consequence of a letter he ad dressed to the Secretary respecting his at rears of subscriptigu. SIR FRAIICIS BURDlirl ,AND C01;131LTI The Friends of COBBETT, a few days since, waited on Sir F. BURDETT, for the purpose of obtaining a reconciliation between these two ce lebrated Personages, and thereby to produce and consolidate a union between the high and low Radicals. The Baronet was, however, inexora, ble.—lle said, Mr. COBBETT could not forget the many falsehoods published in" the Two-penny " Register," which the writer must have known if true or false ; if true, no honest man would wish to renew an acquaintance with hint (Sir FRANCIS), and, it false, what could be thought of the individual promulgating such atrocious ca lumnies, with a knowledge of their beini; such. Here the conversation ended, and the persons etired. Shortly atter the " Legislatorial Attor ney" for Birmingham waited on Sir FRANCIS for the same purpose, and received a similar answer, with the addition of the observation contained in the memorable Letter written in answer to one received from COBBETT, wherein the notable dis covery is made of his New Way to pay Old Debts. This Letter was written on the 31st Jan., 1818, and contained the following passage above alluded to :—" Nothing can or ought to stifle the ex pression of disgust every honest mind must feel at the want - of integrity in the principles he (Cos- BETT) proclaims." Sir CHARLES 1% ILSELEY left shortly after, and so the business remains at present. A MARE'S NEST.--The Times of this day has discovered that in the Letter from Mr. BANKS, the Mayor of Leeds, to Earl FITZWILLIAM, in men tioning the Radical Meeting, he said it was " composed of the Vu. and Curious," and The Times exults in its own penetration in having corrected the passage into -" idle and curious," Now w tee no blunder in the passage as it stands in the Parliamentary Paper. The Author, no doubt, described the Radicals, and very justly, as the VILE, and as to those who are styled the Curious, they ought rather to be styled the Foolish, for having been present on such detestable occasions. TIM THF.ATRB. —TI►e ferocious Tragedy of Ber. ram was last night represented at Drury-Lane fl►eatre. The part of Imogine, originally per 'ormed by Mrs. BONN, when Miss SomeaviLLE, was on this occasion represented by Mrs. M‘Gra- BON, an Actress of considerable Provincial repute, and who, a few years ago, displayed so much merit on the London Boards, as well entitled her to a permanent station in the Metropolis. Mrs. M‘GintioN is the daughter of the late Mr. WILLIAM XVOODFALL, a Gentleman formerly uni vea•sally known for the amplitude and accuracy of his Parliamentary Reports; whose judgment, taste, acumen, and experience, rendered him a truly respectable authority in dramatic criticism, and whose character in private life was most deserv edly held in high estimation by all who had the pleasure of being acquainted with hint. A pecu liar interest, therefore, would attach to the Daughter of .a person so respected, even if she did not possess intrinsic claims to public protec tion. But she is not merely art Actress of considerable merit, as her literary talents have been exerted in several admired compositions.— Her figure is neat, her face is expressive, and is animated by what are technically styled marking eyes. Her voice is clear, and powerful. She speak; with unaffected simplicity, such as is obviously the result of judgment and sensibility, and such as is now rarely found upon the Stage. She sustained the • part of Imogine with powerful effect, and justly excited universal and repeated applause. One passage in particular, when a ter rific story was relating, she exclaimed, " You need not tell me that !" Or words to that effeet, there was so natural an expression of agony, that the audience burst inro a shout of admiration, which was repeatedly renewed. On the whole, her performance was highly creditable to. her talents, and if she should not be able to secure a footing on the London Stage, she will assuredly return to the country with redoubled -lustre. KBAN sustained the terrific hero of the piece with great energy. Indeed, it is one of his most successful exertions. In one passage he al ludes to what he styled his •< Wild Attire," but in reality, he wore a dress of great ornament, and was only wild in his dishevelled hair. BERNARD gave respectable support to the part of Aldobrand, originally performed by Pore, and Mrs. ROBIN SON, who is evidently improved, gave interest as well as beauty to that of Ciotilda. The work of retrenchment, it is said, is about to be carried i►ato further effect in several of the Offices under Government. According to report, however, it is principally to fall on the junior clerks. At the Victualling-office, 12 or 15 indi viduals of this description have received notice that their services will be dispenaed with at the end of the present year, from which it may be in ferred that a great diminution in the public busi ness has taken place. None of these unfortunate clerks are, it is reported, to have any permanent allowance for past services, although some of them are represented as having been 8 or 9 years in their situations.—(Times.) The PERSIA:: AMBASSADOR takes with him on his return to Persia, two or three sets of China, of British n►anufaciory, on which are beautifully enamelled vai ions Views and romantic scenery in differe►►t patis of the kingdom, richly orna mented. We are happy to state, that the great Meeting of Radical Retainers, from all the stn round ing towns and villages, which was expected at Glasgow on Monday, did not take place. Not a single Radical procession entered the town, or was heard of in the nvighbutn hand, SIM' NEWS.
