`Tivrr Or THE PUBLIC SOURNALS. (THE 'TIMES.) The Chancellor a the Exchequer's Budget is betore the country. We will not now speak more of the imputed demerits of the old sinking fund. We really think, that leaving those totally out of the question, its abolition was desirable on the mere principle of simplifying the public accounts; and these accounts being once rendered simple and intel. ligible, we trust that one step will be gained ,wards the reduction of cxpences, as men are less likely to err by extravagance who know clearly and under stand their circumstances. Much, however, remains to be done in this sense. That monument of financial puzzlepatedness, the dead weight s Must be first worn out ; and the system of issuing deficiency bills abolished, and the unfunded debt reduced. Respecting the unfunded debt, it was inquired whe ther the 3,000.0004, now the acknowledged ( 7.triSS Of income, and the only sinking fund, wc.s:re to be ap plied to its redemption. To this it was answered, that the Bill to be brought in would allow of the applica tion of the 3,000,000/. either to the redemption of the funded or unfunded debt; but Mr, Her ties had previously said, that though the state ments of the Chancellor of thu Exchequer on a former occcasion " ought to hare expelkyl from all men's minds any apprehension of the approaching withdrawal of the I/. bank-notes, yet, as there was still a certain degree of feverish feeling on the sub ject, it would be unwise at the present moment to press any measure that was liked to produce any immediate effect on the circulation.' With so much ease is the extinction of small notes now spoken of, which we were told that all the power of Gods and raett could not effect In the first instance, there fore, the 3,000,000/. will, we suppose, be applied to the redemption of unfunded debt ; and it is now to be understood that the fund is always to be kept up to 3,000,000/. of absolute excess of income over ex penditure : to this there can be no objection, if the principle which is proceeded on be, that expenditure shall always be ris . .dly kept 3,000,000/. below in come; but tic imposition of taxes to cover an ex travagant p xpenditure by the proposed excess of ."-, 00 ::),000/. would be scandalous indeed. (MORNIN(4 I(ERALD.) The Master of the Rolls, it would seem, is giving, as he has before done, mortal offence to some of the Gentlemen of the Long Robe, by a rule which he has propounded in this Court, Hunting the number of Counsel to be heard on a motion for a new trial. If we except Sir William Grant, Lord Eldon was, perhaps, the most patient listener to Counsel that the Courts ever produced. At the same time it was amusing to observe, that while a Learned Gentleman was engaged in splitting a hair, or spinning out the merest nothing into an argument of some hour's duration, Lord Eldon would he sedulously employed in poring over the papers in the cause—considering, as no doubt he did, one page of facts worth a whole volume of argument. In saying this, we are far from meaning to undervalue the real services of an en lightened, zealous, and fearless advocate. The press itself owes too much to such men to incur the ingratitude which would attach to any , thing like a slur upon the services which they have rendered to public liberty, and to private property and character. It is against the extreme and overloaded use of Counsel that we complain ; and it is against that alone we apprehend that Sir John Leach's efforts are directed. It would be well if the reform which the Duke of Wellington is introducing into Parlia mentary speaking could find its way into our Courts. His Cirase's eloquence consists of facts, briefly stated, and closely applied ; and, as compared to the three and four hour harangues of his wordy prede cessor, is likely to be quite as useful to the country,' though not to the literati who had the editing and altering of them. (MORNING CHRONICLE.) .Nlost of the Speakers on Friday night compli- mented Mr. Goulbuin on the honesty ana fairitc.s's of his itatenient. Mr. Maberly said he " was willing to allow that the Right Hon. Gentleman had dealt Avith the whole subject fully and fairly, and that the whole circumstances of the country had been ho nestly and impartially brought before the House. This was the first time, after so many years of dis cussion, that the Sinking Fund was acknowledged by a Minister not to be what it pretended to be— the first time that a Chancellor of the Exchequer had acknowledged the Sinking Fund to be created by borrowing, and to be a delusion. He was glad they had come at last to common sense and plain dealing on the subject." Mr. Hume said what, when the dryness natural to a Scotchtnan is con sidered, amounts to an equally high compliment. " He would begin by admitting that the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated pretty correctly, in figures, how the country was financially situated." Sir Henry Parnell " commenced by praising the lair and candid statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer." Mr. P. Thompson " con cluded by complimenting the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the manner in which he made his statement in the early part of the even ing, and declaring it not to be his wish to refer to any memorials of very different proceedings, and the very different language of former periods." We re member once hearing a compliment paid to a lady by a Frenchman which embarrassed her very much. • Honnete, in French, as many of our readers must know, amongst its other significations, means " kind" and " polite ;" and the Frenchman, to whom the lady had done a kind act, translating the word into what be deemed its English synonim, observed, " Madame, you are very honest." " I hope I am," answered the lady, puzzled to account for the French man's laying such a stress on a virtue, the want of which would have been disgraceful enough, but the possession► of which she could hardly look on as a merit. It does seem strange that in an assembly of English Gentlemen it should be attributed as a merit to any man that he is fair and honest, that, in short, he does not lie. We praise only what is rare—what there is merit in achieving. Truth to men and chastity to women have usually been supposed to be indispensible, and in any other place than Parliament a gentleman would not feel very much at his ease on being com plimented on the truth of what had fallen from him. Neither, we presume, would a husband feel over grateful for any one who should, by way of compli menting his wife, observe to him, " I do not believe she has ever gone astray with any one." It is true you will occasionally hear, in passiu 74n old clothes shop, five or six Hebrews around a eJantrytnan, as suring him that their friend Moses is telling God's truth—that be never slicats, and would not tell a lie for the world. But, if common fame be to be be lieved, it is not without reason that truth is held in high admiration among the Hebrews. But the House of Commons' How happens it that in that abode of purity it should be deemed such a wonder if a Chancellor of the Exchequer should not practice delusion—should be fair and candid ? How comes it that such a number of gentlemen one after another should attach such merit to the telling of the truth ? We will do the gentlemen who bore testimony to Mr. Goulburn's veracity the justice to believe that their admiration was not what the Logicians would call subjective, but was caused by the novelty of the phenomenon in a Chancellor of the Exchequer. A Chancellor of the Exchequer has hitherto considered himself something like a Priest with the blood of St. Januarius. He considered himself bound to cheat and delude the public, for the supposed good of that public. Mr. Goulburn having ascertained that the credulity of the public would no longer swallow his St. Januarius, has had the good sense to throw away his Saint, and to tell the people fairly, " Well, I know that my predecessors have hoaxed you at a sad rate, but I will deal honestly with you, as you now see through the trick." Truth, it has some times been said, is at the bottom of a well. In some cases it is difficult, no doubt, to get at it. But when truth is arrived at with difficulty, we give the men who find it credit for very different merits from those of fairness,honesty, and candour. This praise of Mr. Goulim) c , :idently not that he had any particular dilticitity iii arriving at the truth ; but that hit: predecessors took some pains to get ont of the way of it. SUNDAY PAPERS. (Flto3l Tx..E:be.) 'CUE CASE 01 DANIEL 'OCONNELL AND THE CONFUSION OF THE LAW. " Chaos is come again !" We have arrived at the lle plus ultra of legal ab surdity; and have gone on piling one Law on an other; repealing in part, or in the whole ; or enact ing in the same degree; at one time for England only; then for Ireland only ; now in the character of one State—separate and independent; then in the name of en other, in the like manner ; and follow ing them in the united name of both or of two-thirds of the State ; and these in the name of the whole three, until the dependency and relation qf Statute on Sta tute have rather been presumed than digested and studied with each fresh addition to the multifarious code. The cunning of Law sometimes overshoots its purposes; the craft of one intolerant is amended by the superior and more intense bigotry of another, and the game is followed up until, as in a patched garment, you can neither trace the original form or colour. The .sth of Elizabeth calls for the oaths of supremacy, &c., to be taken by Members of Par liament, under penalties stoutly set forth ; and making the non-performance of them as a vacation of the seat obtained. The Pope-denouncing Charles IL:added the Declaration against Transubstantiation. But these Acts do not relate to Ireland, except so far as they are referred to in the Act of Union. '1 he 3d of William and Mary, to the same general intent, relates exclusively to Ireland, and to the Irish Parlia ment. The 6th of George I. was repealed. The Re peal recognised the independence of Ireland; and hence the act ofGeo.l. was considered as null and void. Next in succession are the 21st and 22d of George of the Irish Parliament, called Yelverton's Act; the 33d of George 111., and the 39th and 40th of George 111. (the Act of Union), and on the con struction of which the question of Mr. O'Connell's power to sit in the House will, as it is said, depend. The Act of Union of England and Scotland directs that persons not taking the oaths thereby prescribed, shall be subject to the same penalties and disabilities as are imposed by the Statute prescribing them ; but there is no such provision in the Act for the Union of England and Ireland. There is the llst of George 111., which recapitulates former disabilities in a summary sort of way ; but not distinctively.— It is assumed, in relation to these scattered materials of law, that (the independence of Ireland being re cognized in 1782), at the time of passing Yelver ton's Act in 1781, 1782, there was no Act in force which disqualified an Irish Catholic from being elected, sitting, and voting in the Irish Parliament. The provisions of Yelverton's Act relate to Ireland. There are no Acts of the English Parliament taking cognizance of the same objects as Yelverton's Act; and therefore the said Act cannot give validity to any English Act of Parliament which disabled the Ca tholics. There are references to " the oaths and disabilities" in question; but they have a limited range of application given by the terms used, which does not admit, of an enlarged operation. The act passed for the relief of the Irish Roman Catholics states, that nothing therein shall enable persons to sit in Parliament without taking the oaths, &c. ; but this is a mere negative, which leaves the law on that point as it stood before. The Act of the 39th and 40th George 111. enjoined the oaths, &c., but attached no penalties on non-compliance ; and it is conceived that in an extreme and severe Act, penalties cannot be enacted by implication. The result of this legal research seems to he that Mr. O'Connell's refusal to take the oaths can only be made a subject of indictment, on the resolution of the Rouse; and here a thousand obstructions may be formed, and the matter fenced off ad bnitunz. The last Act applying to the subject is the 41st George 111. but it disables a Catholic from sitting for any place in Great Britain. It likewise says that per sons disabled from sitting in the Irish Parliament shall be disabled from sitting in the United Parlia ment. There is another clause which would attach at once, if there were any Act of the English, Irish, or United Parliament that prevented Mr. O'Connell from sitting for any place in Ireland; but this is not the case. In reference to the Indemnity Act, it appears that in 1819 Mr. Croker, in a speech of great length, held that if any member should in/en /jaw/hi do that which was sometimes done uninten tionally (viz. sit and Tote without taking the oaths), and actions relating to the same were not prosecuted to a final judgment before the passing of the Indem nity Bill,—that such persons would be fully re capacitated ; making all their illegal actions le g al, --according to the intent and words of the Act; ), ' From all that we learn from this chaotic jumble of the Statutes,—the affair of Mr. O'Connell is in the hands of the same nuzjority that voted (substantially) for Emancipation. In addition to the array of Law set forth by Mr. Butler ; and that too before Mr. O'Connell's election was dreamt of—a writer in an evening paper has lugged forth a clause in the 30th of Charles 11. which gives a discretionary power to the House, as often as it shall " see occasion" to call up to the table any or all of its members; and administer the oaths, &c. This leaves the matter, however, in the same state : viz. at the worst, in the will of the House of Commons. The great terror of this new stumbling block in the way of the Ultra Tories is, that Mr. O'Connell will in all human pro bability, enter the House of commons and take his seat; and that it must rest with the majorities of that House to place a construction on the Statutes which affect his presence there; and supply the light which the denseness and complexity of Law have shut out from common eyes. " There is more terror in this fact, than in a thousand swords ;" because if it come to a mere disputed point, on which men will judge differently,—all the Tories in Christendom will never be aisle to carry a new law, that shall re place the arbitrary power of the Church in a mo nopoly of Christian qualifications for the post of an honest man. Supposing the post to be thus gained ; and that a proscribed race of our fellow-citizens shall advance edgeways as it were, into the exercise of their rights and privileges as men ;—it could no longer be contended—supposing the old barrier to remain good against the Catholic Peerage, or that the majority of the upper House were able to wield a different power--that a Catholic commoner should enjoy a privilege which was denied to a Catholic Peer. In this view of the case, the Catholics are already - emancipated. It will he a happy thing if this, sudden turn in Catholic fortunes, should spare the Duke (2f Wellington the invidious trouble of sonic fractional measure for putting the question at rest ; or—the million of armed men that Ireland would send into the field to receive L' )e aneipation, either—from the sword of justice, without the exercise of power; or the word of power, without the exercise of justice, might be deadly to his repose. The Tories ought really to be congra tulating one another; if the thing he Azle without their fame and character being stained in the pro gress. They were fairly brought to a non plus ; the Duke himself admitting that the question could not stand still, nor go back. The Irish Priesthood have been accused, time out of mind, of politically exer cising their power over their flocks ; and hence all the discontent of Ireland ; and the obstructions thrown in the way of Government. But we have now an open and avowed interference of the Priests; and we see what their power is ;—a sufficient proof that the presence of that power cannot be traced in minor bye-gone events. By this power (as may be seen in the events of the week), all the ordinary re lations of society can be changed; why then should ' A few years ago Earl Gower's seat was vacated : on account of his taking his seat and voting before he took the oathe. it be walitouly provoked ? If Ireland should rise in rebellion, the Priests will find the level of their influence ; and so will the Government of the Lord Lieutenancy. Ministers have had warnings suffi cient ; it is perhaps well for them, that an accidental diversion of the national mind from its bent course, has changed the aspect of the future. The Duke of Wellington—who must be a bit of a Liberal,—if enly in working Liberalism up as an alloy to the minor metal of the Tories,—had better have left that Emancipationist, Mr. V. Fitzgerald, alone and un employed. The very object for which he was re tained, has not only been suddenly subverted, but his appearance in Ireland, as the ally of the Wellington Cabinet, has raised a storm about his ears which may spread and expand itself until it threatens the Throne of the United Empire. We cannot help noticing without some slight degree of ridicule and contempt, the advice which has always been given to the Catholics by the adherents of the Minister of the day. No matter who he . ther Mr. Pitt or Lord Liverpool—Mr. Canning or the Duke of Wellington—whether one speaking for Emancipation or one voting against it—the gist of the advice is ever—" Good manners and delay"— " Wait patiently and behave y ours elves " You Catholic Association disperse yours el ves;quiet " and let me hear no more of you ; O'Connell, go you to your briefs; and Shed, to the cold bath.—Priests, let politics alone; mind the sick and infirm ; and compose sermons, recommending - small beer and si lence to your flocks. Peers, and Orators all, rein in your energies, and tu rn your hands to something else," &c. &c. This is the sagacious mode ever re commended to the Irish Catholics as a trial, that could do no harm ; time, and the disuse of all agita tion, were to work them out of their political purga tory; and when " experience" shall have proved how worthy they are, and that their sincerity can be no longer doubted—the Noble Duke will " reconsi der Me subject." Now if this course were adopted, and the parties were, after the ordeal of some years, to once more bring forward the subject of their grievances—the Noble Duke would no doubt an swer them as others have been answered before— " What ! you surely can have no complaint* or grievances; this must all be the plea of some sinister agitators; we have heard(!lno wrongs where there are any that are felt, there are applications for re dress ; where there is any tangible evil, there are the anxiety and wish for its removal. Return to the peace and tranquility which bad men are endeavour ing to destroy ; and who only seek to make you the tools of their ambition," &c. The condensed state of the argument is this : " Catholics; become base and degraded ; and patient under insult and oppro brium ; and we will treat you us virtuous awl wisc people; become weak from degeneracy and contempt, and we will respect you as strong : become hypo crita7, and we will esteem you as pure Christians : become dolts and cowards, and we will treat you as men and heroes. Become enamoured of slavery, and we will meet your sincere desire to be free. § The effect which such sapient counsel would have en the minds of reflecting men might have been foreseen. 'We much question whether the Duke himself can now sleep on it. A state of things has developed itself in the sister country which is no longer reme diable by the old quack applications. Something of an alterative must now he administered—whe ther in the shape of conciliation or coercion, will soon be learnt. (THE SUNDAY lIERAI.D.) Our readers, we arc sure, and, indeed, every friend of charity and education, must feel the highest gratification on perusing the account of the Quar terly Meeting of the Friendly Society of Licensed Victuallers on Monday last. From that report it will be seen that the success which has attended the enlargement of the Morning Advertiser and Sunday Herald is great beyond all antic►pation. The former now circulates nearly one hundred thousand more copies per annum than it did previously to its enlarge ►nent ; while the latter exceeds twenty-six thousand. Were these papers conducted on a purely com mercial basis, we should not perhaps deem it ne cessary to say one word on this subject ; but while the greater portion of the large profits arising from the publication of the Morning Advertiser are de voted to the relief of the old and the helpless, those accruing from the Sunday Herald are exclusively de voted to the maintenance and education of orphans and others, who but for the spirit, the entecprize, and the benevolent liberality of the Licensed Vic tuallers, might otherwise be left to endure all the miseries of want, and be deprived of that best of all blessings—a moral and religious education. To the friends who have aided us in the promotion of this good cause, and especially to the gentlemen who have enriched our columns w►tl► so many valu able literary and antiquarian articles—for we have re ceived much valuable assistance—we owe our best thanks ; and to those who have been pleased to patronize our labours, it must be a source of great gratification to be informed that they have, at the same time, been adding to the comfort and dimi nishing the miseries of no inconsiderable portion of their fellow-creatures. "As the bread which is cast upon the waters, is, sometimes found after many days," so may their encouragement of the work of charity and education be returned unto them an hun dred-fold We agree with many of our contemporaries, that the power exhibited by the Catholic Priesthood in the late con test for Clare, is terrific and dangerous to the Government. But who or what is it that has (unintentionally we admit) conferred that degree of power upon them ?_—thc m i srule qf England. Were it not for the impolicy of our Govern.. ment, as it respects Ireland, the Catholic Priest would have no more influence over his flock in secular matters than has the same description of person in Holland, Prussia, or in the several parts of Germany. It is only in Ireland, where an exclusive system prevails, that the Priest possesses a power exceeding that of the Popes of ancient times. t This was the plea of Mr. Peel against the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts ; there had not, for a num ber of years, being only so ninny petitions! § An intelligent correspondent in The Morning Herald of Friday, in reference to this subject, says—" Will you allow me, through the medium of your columns, to ask your correspondent Britannicus (who, in his letter, so wramly deprecates the " agitation" of the Irish), what the English Catholics have gained by quiet, peaceable, and loyal conduct ? Has the absence of " agitation" in the body of the Catholics of England been productive of any benefit to them ? 'Has the unvaried tone of loyalty and mo deration that pervades the meetings of that body, and the writings and speeches of the individuals composing it, done so very much for it? I can tell Britannicus, Sir, what all this tranquillity has done for the Catholics of England. When they petitioned for the elective franchise an" the other privileges enjoyed by the Catholics of Ireland, from which they are debarred by law, their petition was hardly listened to, it was summarily dismissed from the consi deration of both Houses of Parliament. Sir, this fact speaks volumes."

SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The Bankruptcy Laws Amendment Bill and the Charing Cross Improvement Bill went through a Committee. The Militia Bill and the Insolvent Debtor's Bill, (India) were read a second time. Lord GODERICH gave notice that on Thursday next he would move the second reading of the Cor- Funds Bill. STATE OF PORTUGAL. Lord HOLLAND, seeing the Noble Duke at the head of the Goveinment in his piece, rose to ask whether it was in the intention of his Majesty's Government, in the conrse of this Session, to ask for any vote of credit, or to take any other Parliamentary measure, through which to convey to this House and the country at large, what the rela tions were of this country with respect to the two other great contracting Powers, Russia and France, and also what the relations of this country were with re spect to its ancient ally, Portugal. In asking this he was not actuated by any vain desire or any improper motive of prying unnecessarily into the councils of his Ma jesty, but he put the question for his personal con venience as well as the convenience of the House ; because if he found that his Majesty's Ministers had no such intention, he should feel it his duty to re quire from his Majesty's Government, in a more specific shape, Parliamentary information on these points. The Duke of WELLINGTON considered his only reply was, that there WAS no intention on the part of his Majesty's Ministers to ask for a vote of credit on the part of the country ; nor was it his intention to adopt, nor did he contemplate, any other Parliamentary course calculated to give him an opportunity of entering snore fully into the of foreign policy of the country to which the Noble Lord had alluded. Lord HOLLAND, not a little disappointed at this answer, should propose to move on a very early day for information on these subjects, and should consider it a great favour to be permitted to give notice of his motion for Wednesday next. The louse was accordingly ordered to be summoned for Wednesday next. The Mar►luis of LANSDOWNE said it was his intention to lay before the Mouse to-morrow, a copy of the lease granted under the Cown, of the Manor of Eltham, with a view of drawing their Lordships' attention to the loss they were about to sustain. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a peti tion from Carlisle against Slavery. Lord CALTIIOItPE postponed his notice of motion for to-morrow, on the subject of Slavery till Friday next. The Noble Lord presented petitions for the abo lition of Slavery from Sudbury, Loughborough, and various other parts. The House adjourned at Half-past Five. HOUSE OF COMMONS. A person presented the Annual Report of the Commissioners of Ramsgate Harbour. Mr. PALLMER presented a petition from Lam beth against the Additional Churches Bill. Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a petition from the burgesses of East Retford against the Disfranchise ment of that borough. He hoped the Bili would be withdrawn, as the House was tired of the discussion, which did not appear to be likely to be terminated at present in a manner favourable to the freedom of election. Mr. HOBHOUSE pesented a petition from the parish of Presborough, Cheshire, against the exor bitance of the Tithes levied by the present incumbat. Lord CLIVE presented a petition from the Silk Manufacturers, of Ludhury, praying for protection. Sir R. WILSON presented a petition from South wark, against having the Surrey Assizes held at Guildford. Mr. H. GRATTAN moved for copy of the order given to the police of a part of the county of Wicklow to attend the funeral of a person who had died. The police had attended the funeral in a body, and caused a riot. Sir G. MURRAY requested that the Honour able Gentleman to postpone his motion, in order to give the Government time to consider whether they ouglu to agree to the returns moved for. At the suggestion of the Right Hon. Gentleman, Mr. GRATTAN then gave notice that on Thursday he would move for these returns. Mr. OTWAY CAVE gave notice, that to-mor row he would move that the Mayor and other Mem bers of the Corporation of the Borough of Leicester should be called to the bar of the house, to explain why they had not made some returns ordered by that House. Sir H. PARNELL presented a petition from the Builders of Dublin, against the duty on Glass. Mr. ATWOOD moved for returns connected with the repair of the Dover and Calais Roads.— Agreed to. Mr. O'NEILL presented a petition from the shipwrights of Hull, against the reciprocity system. Also, a petition from the fisheries of the north-east coast of Lincolnshire, in favour of bounties. Mr. P. THOMSON presented a petition from East India merchants, praying that the duty on silk imported from India might not exceed thirty per cent. On the motion of Dr. PHILLIMORE the Wax den of the Cinque Ports Bill was read a third time, and passed. On the motion of Mr. SUG-DEN the Property of Infants' Bill went into a Committee, and the report was ordered to be received this day three months. Sir. J. GRAHAM brought up the report on the General Turnpike Act. The amendments were agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. On the motion of Mr. SUGDEN, the Lunatics' Estate Bill went through Committe, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. .Mr. WYNN brought up the report of the Elec tion Petitions Committee, and the resolutions were agreed to, and added to the standing orders. On the motion of Mr. COURTENAY, the Pilotage Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. LABOUCFIERE presented a petition from three inhabitants of Canada,complai ye n sya,, i i t i l f g dor of sud L pisp o inr rd eiss D ssiii a iii l gg - C me M t i t st h h a Le t oCrdosl dissolu tiontpy:ft 01 o l t t li pie:cc:eat rrtstcipublication i Governor koatfedhlicielaeit,bt 2,a o L, if:: Canadal ilil:tall; relative etp l ti o iea t sbr : , ti e (Mr. L.) took that opportunity, before the close of the Session, to implore his Majesty's Govern ment to take into their most serious consideration t h e condition of that colony, with a view to conci liation and amendment. Sir GEORGE MURRAY expressed himself very anxious to take every step to allay the irri tation which at present existed in Canada, and he re gretred that the seeds of that irritation were sown long before tale arrival of Lord Dalhousie in that Colony. A Committee had been appointed to enquire into availt h h e i u s ) s t e a ltfe of of everythatC s o u l g o g n e y s , t a i o n he w h p i l e e h d ged might appearto in their report for the improvement of the system of Government in that country. Mr. HUSKISSON thought the appointment of the Committee to inquire into the state of the Colony would be productive of the greatest benefits to the colony. He defended the conduct of the Governor in dismissing the Militia Officers, as they, according to Lord Dalhousie, were guilty of mi litary insubordination, but be (Mr. H.) at the same time considered it a hardship that persons hold ing military rank in that Colony, should be re strained from exercising their civil rights, and he thought that the statements in the petition deserved 1 the consideration of Parliament and of his Majesty's I Government, with a view to the amelioration of the condition of that Colony. Sir J. MACKINTOSH said that the alienation of the feelings of the people of Canada from this country was owing rather to recent events than to any defects in the system adopted at the time of the annexation of that Colony to Great Britain. During the last years the temper of the Colonies was changed, and he could not but think that there must have been something in the conduct of the Governor, or of those by whom he was advised, to cause that estrangement. Mr. J. E. DENISON enison thought that the grievances arose less from the system than from the manner in was administered.

The Bishop, we hear, is " as well as can be expected,", and his friends are backing Lint at a shade above sto 4. The attendance was but thin to-day, aid consequently the takings but limited. Lew Latham and Sam Foote opened the pleadings, and were followed by Sheen and Smith. The latter received two such ticklers, that being a tailor he could not come again, but was carried off nearly sense less by Jem Burn. Ned Stockman and the Woolwich Baker shook hands, and made play ; the Baker was pretty nearly overdone although underdone in a trial for the throw:; Ned challenged him 50/. to 401. ; Doughey wanted to fight for a purse to-morrow. Ned then chal lenged any man of 9% stone. Bitton and Harry Lancas ter then mounted for a s cene, and produced lots of laughter and grimace. Bitton is still dropsical, though so fre quently topped. Clements and Young Ward (no relation to Jan), then took possession of the mufflers. This bent produced more laughter than can be easily conceiv ed. Both were novices and moved like the beam of a steam engine. Clements was a giant, and was evidently a good mower. He Nvi 1 1 never shine or strike as a pugilist, and had better rest contented with the coppers which he bagged. Seroggins and Hagerty—A rattling bout, and both best alternately. Seroggins drew plenty of applause, but looked in vain for the coppers, which showered but slowly, till Jack became an orator and left with half a hat full. Harry Jones challenged Tom Reidie for 231., having forfeited 101. to him a short time since from illness. Reidie accepted the challenge, and will stake on Thursday, at the Queen's Head, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Tom Spring then took up the argument with Jem Burn. They make a tine display, and had considerable difficulty to make a hit, and tapping ensued for some minutes. Jem however began to bustle, and Spring caught him a queer one on the proboscis, which drew the liquor of life in abundance. Tom Spring certainly deserves support at the Castle as he never refuses it to his brothers at the Court. Charley Jones and Mahoney then furnished a little amuse ment, and were loudly applauded, as they both sparred and stopped well. Alec Reid returned thanks and complained that they (the other party) had not let him know when the fight was to take place ; the place, however, was well known to his friends. The fancy deprted pretty well pleased with the sports. THE RUSSIAN ARMY. FROM THE CAMP, KARASSOL, JUNE 21.---Thc Imperial camp was removed this morning, with the Corps d'Armtie of General Roudzewitch, to Karas sou, where the Emperor will remain till those move ments of concentration arc completed, which were announced in our last bulletin. We have just taken possession of the fortifications of Brailoff. In conformity with the terms of the capitulation of that fortress, the troops to whom its defence was confided, have abandoned all the artil lery which they possessed, as Ivell as all the stores which belonged to the Turkish Government, and are themselves to be sent back towards Silistria.— Already 1,200 men are on their march towards that city, escorted by the regiment de Perme. We do not exactly know the Number of guns and standards, nor the quantity of provisions of all sorts, which have fallen into our hands, throug the conquest of Brailoff, the courier who brings those details not having as yet acrived at the head-quarters of the Emperor. At Matschin, 87 pieces of cannon, which defended the ramparts, a considerable quantity of dowder, regiment two o'clock in th e Kustendgi afternoon . bullets, and arms, large magazines of wheat and bar ley, and four standards, as well as all the ships of the Turkish flotilla which had escaped from the battle of the 28th, are in our power. We have learned on this occasion, that Achmed Bey, who commanded the flotilla, has been killed in the same battle, while attempting to reach Brailoff in a small boat. 3 6 1N i p a i r eT s c h he a se l otgfhaecrarD: cannon o k on e s;: o iari f AtrTlieedioe.d ed This morning Lieutenant-General Ruddiger sent which he i. t it‘etl‘oiaa, thecondi tion olto,fhi gfelonbrfieeorri Insci Emperor tsghlatysioietcnema t tn h net e nti eloor it keys tpa:dild:eae (Atli,. of fortress, et,se, Kustendgi,2a 20th. t Wellington on which o%,Are,7l.iofeoyhmoci came ed, from Odessa, laden with provisions. The possession of this fortress is of great importance to the future pro visioning of the army. The Seraskier, Husseim Pacha, who was at Schunda, at the head, as they say, of an army of 30,000 men, had sent to the troops which funned the garrison of Kustendgi, and of which one detachment had been put to flight at the passage of the Danube, an order to defend the place to the last extremity. Thanks to the vigilance of our parties of Cossacks, the courier by whom this order was sent fell into our hands. Two hours after the news had been received of the fall of Kustendgi, the Emperor received that of the taking of Hirsova. That fortress surrendered to Lieut.-General Prince Madatoff. It contained 1,200 regular troops, but the inhabitants who ought to have a s u n p d p t o h rd e t h tahveeme,vlei n declared, iiecl‘iavr e s to defend in y themselves, an capitulating, t v th e i s tt , they would not enter Silistria, whether they were to be transported with the rest of the garrison, because they considered it useless to fight. At Hirsova we captured 14 standards, 50,000 bullets, 3,500 pounds of powder, and a considerable supply of barley and corn.

James Clark, which had arrived the preceding day, from Calcutta, with a cargo of rice, &c., and for want of a bill of health, was riding a three days quarantine at Bell Bay. At noon, she was observed seading down top gallant masts, and appeared to ride well at an anchor, until eight o'clock, p.m., at which time the hurricane was .at its height, when the 'Captain being desirous to avail himself of the wind, being ofC shore to proceed to sea, ordered the chain-cable to be slipped, and the fore-topmast stay-sail to be hoisted. Unfortunately, at this moment, she was caught in a squall, or sudden shift of wind, which laid her head on shore, and before she could w ear or be brought under any command, she ran on shore with great violence on the western entrance of the Grand River, and shortly after broke in half; her stern is now lying nearly two miles from the fore castle. All who were in the after part of the vessel have lost their lives. The Captain, Chief Mater Surgeon,some eof the rel ‘v ,Ih passengers,i with those and m their o r e fortunate a o in the fore-part of the vessel remained stationary, owing to the force she took the ground, were preserved until the morning, they succeeded in land ing on a raft, viz, the secoad mate, and 15 or 16 men ; not a vestige of her cargo will be saved. The accounts from the country differ as to the injury done to the sugar canes ; but the whole of the provision grounds are destroyed without exception. Government Bills, 25 per cent. premium.
