The petition which he presented to the Magistrates was signed by upwards of four hundred persons. He was, notwithstanding, refused, and he was of opinion that the refusal was owing to per sonal motives. Whether this were so or not, he must say that he at all events concurred with the prayer of the petitioner, that when Ma gistrates refused a license they should be obliged to state their reasons for such refusal in writing. The petition was then ordered to be printed. Mr. WARBURTON moved for returns of the quantity of wood imported into Great Britain from the Colonies in the year 1827. Also returns of the quantity imported from the Colonies into Ireland during the same period. Mr. WARBURTON also moved for a return of the sums granted by Parliament to the Royal Veteri nary College since its establishment. Mr. W. HORTON presented a petition from the Inhabitants of Newcastle-under-Line against Slavery. Dr. LUSHINGTON gave notice that early in the next Session of Parliament he would move for a Committee to examine into the duties appertaining to the office of Lord Chancellor, with a view to as certain what might be taken off. Dr. LUSHINGTON presented a petition from the Borough of Tregony, in favour of the circulation of One Pound Notes. Also petitions from South Shields and Monk wearmouth against Slavery. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Mr. Honey- Wood Yates, who complained that he had been for f our years incarcerated for debt, when if he had but one-twentieth part of what he was entitled to, he would be independent. A petition from this Gentleman was presented a few days ago by Mr- D. W. Harvey, complaining of the legacy Ricard o , fifty th o u san d p oun d s left by th e l a t e M r . Aticard o , for the purpose of protecting estates lo Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, which he had purchased with a defective title, and of which tne petitioner contends that he is the rightful owner. He now said that he was too poor to enter into litigation against such a vast sum, and he there fore prayed that his petition might be referred to a commission already appointed to enquire into the Practice of the Courts of Justice, or to the standing Committee of that House for the administration of Justice.--The petition was laid on the table. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Mr. HUME begged to call the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Secretary Peel) to the state of the. law relating to imprison toent for debt, which he contended was different in this country from what it was in any other country. It was most unjust that persons should be imprisoned on memo process on the mere oath aof the plaintiff, when, perhaps, the lat ter was not entitled to a single farthing. By the returns which had been made from the County Courts, it appeared that persons owing any sum under twenty shillings, were imprisoned for twenty clays —over twenty shillings, for forty days—over forty shillings, for sixty days ; and for five pounds, one hundred days. This did no sort of service to the creditor, while it tended to the utter demoralization of the debtor. He sincerely, hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman would- take the matter into his consideration, and take some step in the next Session of Parliament to take away such a power from the creditor—a power which only operated as an inducement to the tradesman to give credit to those to whom otherwise he would not extend it. In the year 1825, there had been no less than 4,359 executions issued in the Southwark district; and for the sum amounting in the whole to 7,6001. being less than 40s. each ; and for these no less than 1,800 had served out the time in prison. He thought the subject deserving of the serious con sideration of Parliament. The Hon. Member con cluded by moving that an humble Address be pre sented to his Majesty, praying that he be graciously pleased to order that there be laid before the House a return of the number of Courts in Great Britain, Wales, and Ireland, whether under the name of Courts of. Requests or other names, having the power of imprisoning for debts of .5/. and under, stating the constitution of those Courts, under what authority they acted, the extent of their power of imprisonment—the amount of expences and fees charged in. each Court—the amount of allowances paid to prisoners confined by those Courts —and by whom such allowances were paid, during the years 1826 and 1817. Also an abstract of the number of suits in those Courts—the number of persons imprisoned by those Courts, for 51. and under —the number of executions sued out—the ex tent of the respective periods of imprisonment—and the number of prisoners discharged upon payment of their debts during the years 1826 and 1827. Agreed to. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, in the absence of h is Noble Friend the Member for Bandon (Lord J. Russell) he had to present a petition from Mr. Va lentine Blake, of Galway, complaining of the con duct of certain Magistrates of the Corporation of Gahvay, and praying that a new writ should be issued for electing a Member for the county of Galway, vacant by the alleged promotion of Mr. 'kites Daly to the Peerage. Si r JAMES GRAHAM moved for a Return of th e expellees incurred in the last Session of Parliament relative to the Penryn Disfranchisement 811, distinguishing the sums paid respectively to th e counsel, agents, and witnesses, for and against the Mr. OTWAY CAVE , i n present i ng a pet i t i on from the the inhabitants of L u t terwort h , pray i ng f or fie total abolition of Slavery, observed, that he t he next Session bring the su bj ect aga i n b efore "e Rouse. After a few words from Mr. BERNAL, Mr. Ho f SCE Twiss, and Mr. 0. CAVE, the petition was and ordered to lie on the table. The Hon. , 4 ,erriber then gave notice, that he should early in e Next Session move that all children born of slave pa rents, after 1830, should be free. m The HANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER fi a de some communication from the bar of th e Ouse, which we could not collect in the gallery, d 14.1 the extremely inaudible tone in which it was e ' k _ivered. pr. ATTWOOD rose to move for 4 copy of an for g er in council of the 3d of May, 1826, relative ,e'ettain duties payable by French shipping on en r;„ ports of this country. He regretted that th e ,-4 4 t : Y between this country, called the Recip roc i ty "L'its Treaty, was, in fact, not strictly reciprocal. ' 6,; 1 % C. GRANT expressed himself, always de. „ 1 , tis to meet a discussion of this kind even in the reirlce of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Huskisson), in "l tse he was satisfied the interests of our corn ; er ce had in no instance been compromised or bi as t h e y were ' t ure d by the Reciprocity Treaties en no. u• The object of the Reciprocity Treaty with ranee Wa s , that French vessels on enter i n g English I P: ith tis should be on equality as t o d ut i es an d c harges Inglish vessels, and vice versa.

Member for Cal lingtoa. After a few words from Mr. ATTWOOD, which were not audible in the gallery, the motion was agreed to.. AIMS ON FRANCE. Mr. ROBECLRT GRANT said, that he had felt e xtreme doubt and perplexity respecting the course I twould be proper for him to pursue with regard to t he petitions, and the motio n of which he had given 15 tice. On the one hand, he was most reluctant to n 'trude a long discussion on the attention of the ti ttse, a reluctance occasioned partly by c onsid ; h ul l for th e conven i ence of lion. M em b ers on this last effective day of the Session—partly by re ign'" for the feelings of an individual, whose feel- H D would a l ways b e d eep l y respected in the feel- Ho e how• On the other hand, remembering important these petitions were to the , I—rt'ts presenting them, how many interests they Y 9J. involved, how many anxieties were bound up' in them, he had trembled to assume the responsibility of postponing them till another Session. On the whole, he had come down to the llonse with a re luctant intention to bring the question forward. Since he had errercd the House, however, he had conversed with various Members, and the effect was that he had come—but still, he must confess, reluc tantly—to a different determination. Not that he did not still think that the feelings or the con venience (however highly to be regarded) of in dividual Members must give way to the claims of persons dem•mding of the Honse justice or redress; but if he should persist in pressing the dis cussion in the present state of the House and the Session, and where no practical result could follow, he feared that the consequence would only be to injure the interests which it was his desire and his duty to serve. He had finally resolved on taking a middle course—that of having the petitions brought up and laid on the table, opening them as briefly as possible —and of then reserving all farther discussion and proceedings till another Session. The object of three of the four petitions might be stated in little more than a single sentence. The petitioners were British subjects claiming compensation for losses, losses inflicted by the confiscatory decrees of the French Republic; but had by unavoidable accidents been too late in lodging their claims, under the trea ties with France, and could therefore only be en tered on a supplemental list. As soon, however, as it appeared that a considerable surplus remained out of the Fund granted by France,-they had (in virtue of a pledge to that effect given by Lord Castlereagh in 1819) demanded to be let in on that surplus. They were admitted accordingly, and their claims had been adjudicated by the Commissioners with various fortune; some having been rejected in lobo; others having been admitted, but for sums immensely below the amount claimed. Under these circumstances the petitioners contended that they were equitably en titled to a benefit which all the original claimants had been allowed, namely, the right of an appeal from the Commissioners to the Privy Council. Having said this, Ile would enter no farther into the cases; nor would he even move that the petitions should be printed; for the matter of them involved • complaints against the proceedings of the Commis sioners, and, though it was highly fitting that all ju dicial proceedings should be subject to the inspec tion and supervision of public opinion, yet there were manifest objections to putting on the Journ a l s printed a ccusa ti ons of such proceedings, when there was no present opportunity of bringing those accusations to the test. In the step he was taking, he might, perhaps, be allowed to prefer a request, both to the House and to his Majesty's Government. Of the House he would request that no disadvantageous impression might be entertained either as to the merits or the importance of the claim., in consequence of the delay. On the part of the Government, he presumed to hope, as an act, not of favour but of equitable justice, that they would undertake that no irrevocable step should be taken, nor any irreversible decision adopted, to the prejudice of the petitioners, until the matter could be re-agitated in Parliament. Ile concluded by moving that the petitions be'brought up. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER concurred entirely in the propriety of the course which his lion. 'Friend had adopted. He should forbear, as his Hon. Friend had done, from entering into the merits of the question, which would arise on the petitions. He would merely say that it involved many considerations besides those to which his Hon. Friend had adverted. He could assure his Hon. Friend, that the petitioners should suffer no prejudice to arty claims they might ulti mately he found to have, from the delay which his Hon. Friend proposed in the consideration of. the petitions. In the ensuing Szssion, if it should be expedient, they could be brought under the notice of the House, and the discussion would be as open as if it had been proceeded with on the present , occasion. The petitions were then brought up and read. One of the petitions was from Mr. Robert Cowie, on behalf of certain Merchants of London; another from Mrs. Frances Samuel, widow; and a third from M r . N o d es Di c ki nson , on behalf of certain British subjects, inhabitants of the Colony of St. Martin.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. ROBERT GRANT then presented a fourth petition, which was from some London Merchants, praying for the difference between Three and Five per Cent. Interest on the amount of certain Claims which had been allowed by the Commissioners. He said he would present this under the same reserva tions which he had made in respect to the former petitions.—Ordered to lie on the table. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in presenting some similar petitions, acquiesced entirely ►n the propriety of the course which his Hon. Friend (Mr. R. Grant) had adopted. lie would in the same man ner abstain from offering any observations on the petitions which he held in his hand; especially as he was perfectly satisfied with the assurance of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the parties should not be prejudiced by the postponement of the discussion. The Hon. Baronet then presented three petitions from agents for claimants residing in the Mauritius and lonian Islands, which were ordered to lie on the table. Mr. R. GRANT gave notice, that next Session he would move au Address to the Crown on these Petitions. The House then adjourned at Half-past Six o'clock to Monday next. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette dc France, dated July 21.) FRANKFORT, JULY 12.—1 t is affirmed that the Prince of Besse Romberg, who is at the head quarters of the Russian army, is entrusted with a particular negociation, the result of which may lead to great modifications in the policy which Austria has observed ever since the beginning of the war in the East. This negociation is presumed to be con nected with the resolution which the Cabinet of Vienna has taken to assemble a numerous army in the environs of Pesti], besides the forces already as sembled on the frontiers. It is said that the nego tiations between the Cabinets of Vienna, Turin, and Naples, are nearly concluded. It is still firmly be lieved that it is proposed to establish a federative system in Italy, under the protectorate of Austria. PARIS, JULY 23.—Yesterday afternoon his Ma jesty_ gave a p r i vate au di ence at St. Cl oud to Lord Stuart, Ambassador from England to the Court of France. I t is affirmed that Lord Stuart has.re ceived from Madrid a courier, with the news that a slight insurrection has broken out in a town of Catalonia, in favour of the Infant Don Carlos. We hope that the regular mail to-morrow will bring some expla nat i on of this fact. N e spok e yesterday of the probability of an expe dition to be sent by the French Government to the Morea. r e ar e now certain that it will take place, and will be composed of 17,000 men, infaNtry and cavalry, who will set out in a very short time. It is not yet known to wh om the command will be 1 given. A M orn i ng Journal (the C ourt i er . Yr anca i s) which for some time pact has b een accustomed to the confidence of the Ministry, contains the following paragraph : " It appears that for some days past an e x p e di t i on to the Morea has been u n der consideration ; it would consist, as we hear, of 9 or 10,000 of the troops that have been assembled for several months in the South, and of :3,000 men who are expected to arrive sh ort l y from Cadix. It has even been said that the Mi nistry had been considering of the General who shall command this corps, and that they hesitated between several names, among which are mentioned those of Generals liaison, Clause!, and even Loverdo." The object of this expedition would be to concur effectually in the execution of the Treaty of the Gth of July, by obliging Ibrahim Paella at length to put an end to his ravages, and to evacuate the Morea. SMYRNA, JUN E 18.—O n t h e 9 t h a Turkish cor vette and brig sailed from Mytiline, for the Darda nelles, and were attacked by the Hellas frigate, corn- manded by. Mianlis, and two Greek brigs. Aftei a short action, the two Turkish vessels retreated under the cannon of the fort of Cape Baba. The Greeks attacked them there on the 1 1 th, and sent a fire ship against them. The Turkish vessels retreat ed towards the coast, where they ran aground. We learn that Count Capo el'lstria gave a solemn audience at Poros—at which the Commanders of the three ships of the Allies, the Juno, the Azoi, awl the Dryad, were present—to the Greek Bishops sent by the Porte. The latter having desired to address the nation, the Count answered that he was the representative of the representatives of the nation, and, consequently, the person to whom they ought to address themselves. They then entered upon the object of their mission. The Count an swered that Greece could decide nothing without the consent of the Three Powers; besides, if the only object of their mission was to propose an am nesty and demand submission, there was no need of any further deliberation. The Bishops are on the point of returning to Constantinople, and this affair has terminated as might have been foreseen. They were treated by the President with all the distinc tion due to their rank. The Count has received for the Allies subsidies, the amount of which appear to be 500,000 dollars per month for each. It is not known how long they will be continued. The blockade of Alexandria, as it is called, amounts to nothing. It appears to be confined to watching the Algerine vessels in that port. The English ships cruize on the line of Candia, to pre vent the conveyance of provisions.—Agsburgh Gaz.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JULY 21. . • The Committee appointed to inquire into the propriety of acceding to the motion of M. Labbey de Pompieres, for impeaching M. de Villele and his colleagues, made their report to a most crowded House. The document, which was read by M. Girod de L'Ain, is very long, but the following con clusions give its substance. The Committee decided, Ist. That religious orders had not been secretly recalled in France by the late Ministry. 2d. That the toleration and protection granted to the Jesuits by the late Ministers, were contrary to the laws. 3d. That the re-establishment of the Censure in 1824 and 1827, had not been occasioned by the serious circum stances required according to law. 4th. That no disfavour was shown by the late Ministers towards Protestants, sth. That they were guilty of arbitrarily and blameably depriving individuals of their situations. 6th. That there was a squandering away of the national wealth in the last Spanish war. 7th. But that, with respect to the question, whether this dissipation of the public wealth could be imputed to the last Ministers, and whether the political system which they had adopted concerning Spain was contrary to the interests of France, the Commission did not possess sufficient in formation to decide. Bth. That the advice given to create seventy-six Peers in 1827, was contrary to the interests of the Crown and the Country. 9th. - That the conduct of the Administration with regard to the disturbances which took place in Paris on the 19th and 20th of November, 1827, was blameable. 10th. That several inhabitants of Martinique had been arbitrarily arrested and illegally transported to Senegal. 11th. That the transmission to the Court of Caseation of the papers of some of those individuals who had appealed against their sentence had been illegally delayed during several months. 12th. That the arrest of Colonel Caron at Battenheim was preceded, accompanied, and followed by blatneable acts. 13th. That the late Administration had conceded certain rights and privileges belonging to the State to the profit of the Chartreux of Grenoble and the Trappists of Meilleray, and that other concessions had been pre►iously made to the Chartreux of Grenoble. 14th. As to the question, whether there were treason in concussion in the terms of the charter, in the act as well as in the counsel given to dissolve the National Guard of Paris, the majority of your commission has pronounced the negative. 15th. As to the electoral frauds of 1824, the arbitrary and blameable dismissals, and acts relative to the inhabitants of Martinique ; and as to the grants of lands to the Char treux, and as to the other facts, there was a majority on the question of treason and concussion. I The rotes were divided between the negative, affirmative, and the demand for more ample information. SALE OF THE EARL OF ONSLOW'S ESTATE and BRANCHES PARK, in SUFFOLK. Thursday the long-announced sale of the extensive landed estates of the above nobleman, in Surrey, and Mr. Usborne's fine Property in Suffolk, took place at the Auc tion Mart, by direction of the Proprietors. The property was consigned to the hammer of Mr. George Robins. The large room at the Mart was crowded by all the Capitalists of the metropolis. The principal and most extensive investment consisted of the Branches Park estate, Suffolk, which, according to the printed description, consisted of the Branches Park of 200 Acres, finely timbered, with a spacious mansion, with domestic offices, &c. ; the residue of the estate is divided into 13 farms, with farm-houses, cottages, and land, con taining in all, including the park, 2,176 Acres; together with the manors of Branches•llall and Cowlinge, with the great and small tithes of the entire parish. The present rental of the farms, and the value of the park, mansion, &c. in hand, is estimated at 4,3451. 14s. per annum, the out-goings amount to 634/. 3s. 4d. a-year. The timber, coppice, and underwood, it was stipulated, should be taken 'at a valuation. After some discussion respecting the conditions, and several questions had been asked and satisfactorily an swered, the biddings commenced. Mr. Robins, having previously in a very long exordium entreated of the Monied Interest to consider the precarious state of their property in the Funds, proceeded thus : A message from any of the great Potentates tending to an angry feeling would necessarily occasion a great fall in the Funds; but if it was less equivocal, and War should ap pear probable, it need not a conjuror to discover, that a fall of 25 per cent., or a loss of one-quarter part of the principal, must be the inevitable result. Money, he stated, was now to be had, on good security, at 2 per cent. How then, he rejoined emphatically, is it to be ex plained that land, with a depressed rental and the cheering prospect arising out of the Corn Bill, should he sold to pay 31 per cent., and with this self-evident fact to guide them—that, in the event of a war, land must necessarily increase in the exact proportion as the Funds would fall. Mr. Rothschild had stated his opinion that the 3 per Cents. would arrive at 95 before Christmas—this was an addi tional reason for adopting his suggestion, inasmuch as the purchases he bad the honour to present to their attention, were net to he completed until Lady-day; and between the two periods, be said, he must be indeed a wise man who could conjecture what the extent of the fall he had alluded to would be. At all events, while land could be purchaseCl to pay as good an interest as the Funds, he could see but little of good taste or tact in those who hesitated as to which was entitled to the preference. He then (and successfully) con tended, that it was above all things essential to invest in good land. The Estates he had the honour to propose to them were of that description ; and to demonstrate this im portant fact, he had only to observe, that (as it regarded Branches Park) the meadow land this year produced tens per acre ; the wheat would average six quarters, and the oats eight and ten quarters per acre; and these refresh ing facts might be corroborated son every farm of this talented and contented tenantry. The first offer was 60,0001., and after a lengthened competition it was eventually sold for 105,000/. The other property belonging to the Noble Earl con sisted of the Wanborough Estate, between Guildford and Farnham, Sun ey. The Estate comprises two farms with in a ring fence, containing 1,797 Acres of land, with suitable farm-houses and cottages, now let at a rental of 1,478/. ss. 6d. per annum, together with the manor and manorial rights, and the tithes of so mach of the estate as lies in Wanborough ; timber to be taken at a valuation. This estate was knocked down at 49,900/. These are the largest estates that have been sold this season ; and our readers will perceive that Lord Onslow's estate produced more than 35 years' purchase. The Duke of GLOUCESTER continues at Cheltenham, deriving great benefit from the Spa waters, which he takes every morning at the Montpelier pump room. After breakfast, his Royal Highness generally rides out on the new Painswiek road, and in the evening enter tains select dinner parties at his residence on the Crescent. The Duke of CUMBERLAND honoured Mr. GREEN woon with his company to dinner on Thursday, at his villa at Brompton. There was a select party to meet his Royal Highness.

Parliament will be prorogued on Monday ; it is said to the 27th of August. Whether it will meet in November, as some arc induced to sup pose, must depend entirely on the state of public affairs. By his Majesty's cutter Bramble, which left Lisbon on the 15th, we have received some Gazettes, but their contents are deprived of in terest by the fact that later arrivals have been re ceived two days ago. The departure of the Ambassadors has annoyed the upstart King most grievously, as will be seen by the following • specimen of Ultra-Royal chagrin : LISBON, JOLT 7. The official part of the Gazette contains—let. A De cree of his Majesty, addressed to the Three Estates, declaring his acceptance of the Crown, and his pleasure that in conformity with what was done in the Cortes, held in the year 1641, the resolutions of the Three Estates shall be signed by all the Members ; and his Majesty ap points the '7th of July to take the oath as King, and to receive the Oaths of Allegiance at the Palace of Ajuda, in the manner laid down in the Alvara, agreed to by the Cortes on the 9th of September, 1647. JULY B.—The non-official part of the Gazette contains some account of the ceremony of taking the oath at the Palace of Ajuda the preceding day, and of the rejoicings and illuminations that took place in consequence. LISBON, JULY 9. Sir Frederick Lamb, who was Ambassador front his Britannic Majesty in this Court accredited to his Ma jesty as Regent, till the Government de facto of Senhor Don Pedro and the Charter ceased, left this port in the packet yesterday; neither he nor the other Ministers could continue to exercise the character "which their credentials_gave them to a Government which does not now exist. Under such circumstance:, it is not only usual for Governments to change their Representatives at Foreign Courts, but if any of them remain, they cannot be admitted without new credentieis from their Govern ments. Besides this, with respect to Sir Frederick Lamb, whose quality was that of Ambassador, his withdrawing was indispensable, because he could not with propriety descend to the rank of Envoy, which is that of the Mi- . - sister last named by our Court to that of London.— Pedantic politicians, who talk of every thing, made the departure of Sir Frederick Lamb, as they would of any other Foreign Minister, a serious subject of these discus sions and predictions ; nay, these good patriots and certain radical foreign merchants who lied bankrupt from Albion and other countries, to figure as great personages, and to enrich themselves on the Tagus, spread reports, the off spring of their ignorance, or rather of their refined knavery ; sometimes they endeavoured to persuade the credulous and ti m id persons who listened to them, that in a short time the British squadrons would came and bloiltade our ports, and a powettul army assist the heroes of Oporto ; it is a pity that such heroes should have decamped without being able to figure where they desire, but, in fine, let us leave the expiring and disarmed faction to rave ; let their confounded favourers maintain their disappointed hopes—let those gentlemen wa it patiently (if they stir let them beware), for in a short ti me we shall have to announce to them the arrival of new and worthy representatives of the Sovereigns of Europe to his Most Faithful Majesty Senhor Don Miguel, oar legiti mate King and Sovereign ; and most certainly Ministers will come who will not be favourers of rebels, and traitors to their country. Charleston Papers of the 30th ult. have been received, but their contents arc uninteresting, being chiefly confined to lengthy arguments for and against the New Tariff Bill. Extracts from the French Papers will be found in another column. It would appear that the French Government are still disposed to send an armament to the Mores, and 17,000 men arc now mentioned as destined fin- that quarter.— Their object is to drive IBRAHIM PACHA from Greece. It is said that an insurrection has broken out in Catalonia, in favour of Don CARLOS ; but, as no authentic particulars have been received, we abbtain from any remarks. Sooner or later there must be an insurrection that will convulse the Peninsula. Being rather pressed for roo m to-day for com ments of our own, we request th e attention of our hardly a dd e eri c t o s u o l f d tile ease, readers to those from the Mornin Advertiser, g insetted. under the Spirit of the Publi c J ourna l s . a .l: l l y d e t e h d i , n g d i i d t s i sc o e u r all o f o t w h , e m w and certainly none to the ability with which they are advocated. The account given by Mr. GRANT of the flourishing sonb 1 e e because of the s atuase a practical, - on s thee co policy of free could reconcile pe i t l e ra de. restrictions Ne must V ' o c o onfe trade s s we either never to justice b o e r n e e xp fit ed t in c b e e y : eoin i m ve o n o e i v ty er o co t u l h a l rg se how ee to ob i e t forced to buy inferior articles at a high price, in place of better articles at a low price. That such a transaction is much to the profit of the manufacturer and seller of the articles in ques tion is evident. The effect of those restrictive laws is indeed to tax the community for their benefit ; but it is clear that what they gain the consumer loses. Those wretched laws invert the very order and settled constitution of society ; they force the consumer to buy inferior articles because they are inferior, which is just the very reason why they should not be bought ; they foster ignorance, laziness, and unskilfulness; for it is on this very ground that the manufacture's seek protection. These are the qualities which recommend them to the protection of Parlia ment. Further, we never could conceive, if a free trade with France or America were perni cious, why we permitted a free trade between England and Scotland, or between one county of England and another. But we are told that allthis was theory ; that our trade had grown and flourished under artificial restraints; and that they could not now be removed without essen tially injuring existing interests. Now all this is completely answered by the state of the silk trade, which never was more flourishing; and that branch of it, namely, the throwing of silk, which was to be completely ruined by the repeal of the restrictions, is more flourishing than any other. This is evident from the infallible cri terion of an increasing importation of raw silk, and a diminished importation of thrown silk. In 1822, the consumption of raw silk was under two millions of pounds; in 1827, when the measures Of Mr. HUSKISSON for reducing the duties came into operation, it increased to 3,760,000 ; and in illustration of the effects of restrictive laws in encouraging laziness, ignor ance, and unskilfulness, it was stated by Mr. GRANT, that since the manufacturer was _driven out of the strong hold of monopoly, and was ex posed to a fair competition of skill, he had been obliged to exert his inventive faculties, and had already contrived an improved machine, which made 22 in place of 14 revolutions in the same time, and by which the price of throwing silk was reduced from Bs. and 10s., to 3s. and ss. per pound. Need we any further proof of the effects of free competition ? THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twatrz o' CLocr. Notwithstanding the positive contradictions which have been given to the report of an increase to the military force stationed in Ireland, the rumours on this point continue with increased confidence, and it cannot be concealed from the public that the Go vernment entertains serious apprehensions for the peace of that unhappy and distracted country. In this view, and the continued alarm which is felt for the safety of the harvest, from the heavy rains which have daily taken place, and the uncertainty of our foreign relations, it is only wonderful that the con sequent effect on the British Funds has not been more important. Consols opened, this morning, at 86 for money, and 86k for account, without much business; the few transactions that have taken place, have, however, been rather at an improvement, 861 buyers, occasioned by a small purchase of ,Money Stop: (14,0001.), for Tuesday, for the Court of . Chancery. To this Was opposed a principal broker's eontinuing again to sell Money Stock for the same period at this rate, which has caused a flat ness, and they are now 86k 1 f or money an d t i me . Exchequer Bills are 72 3 pm., being a small de cline. India Bonds remain stationary at 111 112. The ,Foreign Stocks are heavy.

Spanish after, tor a moment, taking a small rise, have gone back to 10 2 11. 4 A small improvement may be stated in Imperial Brazil - Mining Shares of I per cent. The arrivals from Lisbon, by the mail, confirm the worst fears. Don Miguel is basely employed in confiscating the property of all individuals who are now suspected to be opposed to his usurpation. The Brazilian Minister has ceased his functions, and taken down the Imperial arms at his residence, and every thing portended the utter ruin of the country. With out revenue or trade, and a Government of its pre sent character, Portu , gal is likely to exhibit an awful example of the benefits of an absolute Government. Three per Cent.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. RIGHTOrCIVILIANSTOTAKETHEIIi, SEAT WITHIN TIMBAL. When the business of the Court commenced, Mr. SUGDEN begged to interrupt it, for the purpo,p apprising the Court that the King's Advocate and Phillimore were attending in a case, and waiting to be ailed within the bar. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was not at all awake either of the custom or necessity of such formality. Mr. SUDDEN did not think it was customary for such neighbouring Learned Gentlemen to take their seats within the bar in this Court without the special invitation of his Lordship. The ATTORNEY-GENEnAL very well cecollected that tic last occasion on which Civilians attended, ibev took their seats within the bar without Lord Eldon inviting them. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that whatever was the custom upon this point, he could very easily put an end. to the discussion by observing sincerely that he should be very happy to see the Learned Gentlemen within the bar. The Learned Doctors then bowed to the Court, and took their seats, one on the right and the other on the left of Mr. Sugden. • VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His Honoux disposed of motions in the early part of the day, and at two o'clock proceeded to hear short causes. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GAR: IEN MARKET.

At the close of the Plymouth Regatta on Wednesday, after a morning of great entertainment to the inhabitants, with whom nautical amusements are deservedly popular, about sixty or seventy gentlemen, all more or less connected with the Regatta Club, sat down to dinner at the Royal Hotel. E. Lockyer, Esq., Vice President of the Club, was in the chair. The following particulars are from the Plymouth Journal:_ The Clarence Cup.—Yachts of all sizes above 25 tons. The following started :—Lulworth, Alenai, Harriet, and Hebe. This was an admirable race. The Luhvorth won in fine style, beating the Menai by six minutes and twenty two seconds. Members' Cup.—For yachts not exceeding 25 tons, — The following started :—Paul Pry, Lotus, Ariel, Maria, and Ann. • Paul Pry took the lead and maintained it, winning in gallant style, and beating the Lotos by eight tnintite,s and two seconds. Ten Sovereigns.—For Hookers. The following started Pearl, Venue, Caroline, Elizabeth, Dolphin, Brothers, Agenoria, and another, whose name we conk' not leatn. This was a very pretty race, and was closely contested by the Dolphin and Brothers; the latter won by a few seconds. The ball at the floral Hotel WAS numorously and fashion ably attended, upwards of 300 persons being present.
