It appears to have been effected with great intrepidity and resolution by Lieut. O'Neil, at the head of a very small deta-chtrent. It is satisfactory to find that this brave British Officer was ably supported by the Natives under his command : and the Commander of the Forces has judi ciously marked this circumstance by the promotion of Native Malay to the rank of Native Captain in the let Ceylon Pegiment, in the British service. Hence it is very probable, that the very patriotic anticipations of defeat and disgrace to the British arms in Ceylon, which a certain Editor indulged in at the commencement of these disturbances, will he even tually disappointed.

Stn.--I find that a paragraph appeared yesterday in ne Champion, accusing the of having bee❑ the cause of delaying the new Tragedy of The Italians, arranged for performance at a much earlier period of the season, for the selfish motive of having it acted for my benefit, which the paragraph as serts is to take place on Saturday next; to aroid,all such dis agreeable reflections," . on my entering into an engagement at Drury-Lane Theatre, I determined not to take a benefit.— This declaration, I trust, will corrrince the Editor of The Champion that he has done me an injury, and t doubt not will induce him to make me all the atonement desire, namely, that he will contradict in his next paper the unkind paragraph, and I am sure, Si,, you hare too much liberality , to refuse an immediate publication of this statement.

CONSOLIDATED FUND PRODUCE BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL now moved, 'that the Consolidated Fund Produce Bill shotild.be read a third time, when, the mo!ion being put, . The Marquess of LANSDOWNE rose, not for the' purpose of objecting to the principle of the Bill, which he allowed to be alike just to the public and the Batik, 'but what he contended was, that the pt inciple was not carried far enough, and therefore he could not allow the Bill to go to a third reading without objecting to the limited principle on which it went. He wished that prin ciple which at present applied to a beneficialiv of participation hi the balances i ot the ,Exelrequer , only, and for which the public were indebted 'to an individual in the other ! - louse (Mr. to be carried to its fullest extent." Whyolid the' principle go to affect the Customs and Excise, to the amount of 300,0001.1 Another shore; observa tion he wished to offer was upon the statement that '6,000,001. would' be saved to the public.— Now he'understood that the wholrebalance in the Excloquer did' not exceed 4,000,000., 'and •there-' tore h was quite impossible to save six million's". • He would ventore - to state, that the deficiency of th e Cou-olidieted Fund had a mounted •to no less' titan 3,300,0001., and that no saving wareeracti-' cable till the first of June, "if there were any sav ing at all. What, therefore, was the conclusion their Lordships must come to ? The benefit to be derived in this instance'was merely from the sum of 2,700;0001., or rather 'from the half of that sum. He was very far indeed frotte•Avishin.; to state these - circumstances in opposition to the' BM; but of this he was satisfied, that the Mini , - ters of the Prince Regent might render the Bank balances available to the public to the amount of 7,000,0001. It was in the confident hope that the Prince Regent's Ministers would extend the principle of the Bill that he suffered it to pro , ceed to a third reading. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said,lhat as the Noble Marquess .had not opposed the principle of the Bill, he was not called upon to trouble their Lordships 'at any great length. The origin , or the measure was to be traced so far back "as' the year 1807, when the allernative was given to the Bank either to lend without interest or to defray' the balances in their hands. The result was, :hat the Batik, without itherest, had aecommo-' dated the public', at a time of war, difficolt in the extreme, and Government left the balances' in possession of the Bank. Some of the balatices had become due in April last, when they were• tenthred by the Bank. He was sanguine enough to hope that those balances would amount to nearly tour millious„As to that extensi,pn of th e principle with regard to balances, which the No ble Marquess wished' to see, he could only say that the' measure did trot appear to be advisable ou atemint 4lie inquiry how going on respect ing the state of the Bank. The principle was in itself perfectly just, but it rested with the wisdom of• Par hornet)! to emend it, The Consolidated Fond Produce Bin w,, now rend a third thne and passed, and a Message sent to tl►e Commons. MESSAGES FROM THE COMMONS. Lord LIIwTHER, and others, nom t tite Cow mous, broutzta a;p t,arie Ytivate Colond ‘Voun, tn , lll the other Hoitse, brougl;t up she Quarter Set. , stuns' Divibioo Bill, whicli wail a:ter wards• read a first timr.—Adjourned. Sir J. GRAHAM 'moved the second reading of the London Mr. BENNET objected to so summary a Way of proceeding with a Bill of so Much importance, at so early an hour, and the present state of the House. Sir J. GRAHAM stated, that he had conversed with an Hon. Alderman of the City of London, who wished him to pot off the second reading till after Easter. This he had refused ti, do, lint had exiiressed his intention to postpone the Committee on the Bill to that. period. With that as surance the Honourable Alderman seemed to be satisfied, and he understood that the second reading would not be op posed. . Mr. F. DOUGLAS contended that it would be for the ad vantage of the Bill that it shijuld not appear to have been harried ,through the House, witlionvaffOrding every, oppor tunity to the persons affected by the measure to petition against it. Sir T. GRAHAM had gieen public notice that he should brinkun the second reading this day, as early as possible...- The opponents of the measuve might have had it made an Order f the Day, if they •hail pleased, and its discussion would .hare come .on later. Not having dune. so, he con ceived them to have given up all idea of opposing the second reading. Mr. IJENNET trusted that the Honourable Baronet would not press the second reading of a Bill which had al ready occasioned' considerable discussion, and created a great-feeling in.the House, at so early an bout as six mi nutes Past four, and when but few Members were as sembled. - . • Mr-Alderman WAITHMAN stated, that some deference was certainly'doe to the opinion of so respectable a.body as the whole of the - inhabitants of London, who were de cidedly hostile- to the Bill. They bad not yet bad time to express their Sentiments, but he knew - that as soon as they should have an opportunity, upwards of fifty petitions would he sent up by them against the measure. He trust ed that a Bill imposing a fresh tax upon them would nut be thus hurried on without affording them an ample portunity of appealing to Parliament. The Bill lota only been introduced last Thursday, and it was impossible for them to be acqUainted with its contents. All they could yet know was, that its object was to lay a new 'mallet) uioti tfirm. A desultory conversation then took place on the propriety of postponing the, second leading, in which Sir Will. Mr. Gurney, Mr. Alderman Wood;"Mr. .Wiltierlince, Mr. Gonlburo, Sir .1. Newport, Mr. Lambtou, and 'Mr. Gipps, participated. At its close, Sir WILLIAM DE CRESPIGNY moved, that the second reading he postponed to this day se'nuya. The House then divided— For t he Original Motion For the Atnembnctit . . ••• • • 34 Majority for the Sectm , l Reading The Billwa; torn read a second time. Mr. BENNET they: stated 'that he had never seen an at tempt. that had more the appearance of smuggling a Bill through the House. 'After a few words from Sir J. Graham, Mr. S.\Vortley, and Mr. Lambton, there being no question before the House, the Spraher called to order, and the conversation dropped. BOSINEY ELECTION. 'Lord .
