Sieve this Bill would exclude the owner ?rem a vote in ahe vestries to be called under it ' • or it would leave him in no hatter situation than occupiers who had bad notice to quit the 'wade they tenanted, or of whose lease* there were only one or two years to .run. In short, this latter clam of individuals -• might: by their votes confirm a charge within one or two eosins of their quitting the lands they had rented, which would - remain a burden on those lands for the next one-and-twenty years to come ; while the owner not in occupancy would have no power ofopposing such an arrangement beyond the vote that was allotted to the peasant, who wan to pay upon his acre. Ile thought such a prevision was canting an unfair stigma upon the Irish gentry, however unable he might be to contend that their character was a perfectly meritorious one. It was notorious that the parties to many of the compositions already made under tailbill had been taken by surprise. There was one clause that it was understood would be withdrawn—he meant that which empowered the Commissioners to call for title-deeds, papers, and records, to chew the amount of tithes formerly paid en properties. But did the Right Hon. Gentleman suppose, that by withdrawing it he escaped from the heavy responsibility that must attach to him for ever having brought it forward 1— {Hear o—He (Mr. S. Rice) would warmly support the amend ment of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Grattan.) Mr. PEEL thought that most of the arguments of the two last lion. Members would have been with greater propriety offered at another stage of the bill, namely, the third reading, er in the Committee. His Hen. Friend (Mr. Rice), if he would allow him to call him so, had said, that in many instances, the parties to compositions under the bill of last Session had bean entrapped into arrangements, or had acted inadvertently. New the number of these instances, it must be allowed, would be in a great measure determined by the number of appeals to the total Lieutenant in Council. There were 90 instances in which 'such agreements or compositions had taken place and been confirmed ; and only five in which appeals had been asserted to the I,ont Lieutenant in Council ; so that 5 per cent. -was the sum total of dissatisfaction in Ireland with the opera tion, as .far ax it had gone, of the Bill of last Session. The Right Hon. Gentleman then expressed his conviction that the subject of this Bill required the most serious consideration ; but conceiving that every alteration would be most properly suggested in the Committee—that the Bill was in principle most beneficial—and that it would be an unexampled thing to neeny the second reading of a Bill which went to amend an Act inst It was on all hands agreed -equired amendment, he should up ,port the original motion. tir. CAREW (as we understood) expressed a similar in tuition. Aftir a few words in explanation from Lord Ox awrowar and .fir. (]RATTAN, the amendment of the latter Gentleman was withdrawn; the Bill was read a second time, and corn uotLed for Friday next. CUSTOMS (COALS AND LINENS) BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUICR, the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Coals and Linens Bill. The Right Hon. Gentleman said his object was '0 correct an error in the Bill, and this had made it necessary that it should be recommitted. At present it was proposed in •!ie Rill that the reduction of the bounty on linens should com mencer on the sth of July, 18'34. The date should be the sth of January, '1825-; and he now submitted a resolution to that adhet. Mr. SPRING RICE said, he was not sanguine enough to suppose he could alter the Chancellor of the Exchequer's inters_ bons as to the reduction of bounties on Irish linens ; hut he did submit that tire extension of the period, were it only for three or four years, would be a great boon to Ireland. The appre hension only, of this reduction, had already done incalculable mischief to the linen-trade of Ireland, as regarded the poorer clesses,who were employed in it. Mr. 'DENNIS BROWNE complained of the extraordinary ignorance which Ministers had displayed on the subject Of these bounties; and expatiated on the extreme injury that their reduction must have on those who were concerned in the manufacture of coarse linens in Ireland—a commodity upon which it had been most erroneously asserted by one of his Ma jesty'. Misisters in the other House, there was little exporta tion, and no drawback. The fact was, the exportation was oonsiderable, and the drawback way drawn on every yard. The Hon.rGestleman, after expressing surprise :it the general igno reene.e which prevailed upon this side of the water in respect of 'the export trade of it country that was within a stone's throw of this island, contended that the Government had no right to in. ttrfsre with these bounties, which had been secured to Ireland by a charter when her woollen trade was surrendered to this gantry. Sir H. PARNELL asked whether the Linen Bounties had, in point of fact, extended the Coarse Linen Trade of Ireland ? in his opinion they had not, and he also thought that that trade was much more likely to he injured by other circumstances than bj the repeal of these bounties. The lush manufacturer has: in this trade to contend against the English and Scotch trades.; t.,e two last could Use foreign yarn in their manufacture, led per cent. cheaper than the Irish manufacturer, owing to 'setae absurd local regulations which the Linen Board enforced, sad which required that the yarn sold in Ireland should he made up in a manner different from that in which the tor- ign yarn was brought to market. The spinning yarn by mills, both in England and Scotland, gave another advantage over the Irish manufacturer. On the whole, he thought it would be better to remove several real obstructions which af fected the manufacturer in Ireland, than to attend so much to tfie continuance of bounties which he did not think to be of so rounh advantage. He sly-old rather see the cotton-trade ex tended more generally in Ireland than any other. . Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON was sorry to oppose the opinion of practical men to that of his lion. Friend who spoke last. His Hon. Friend asserted that the condition of the people ea gaged in Ireland in this particular branch of manufacture was nut improved by the continuance of the bounties ; but those en genet.' in the trade entertained an opinion exactly the reverse, ate 4 the manufacturers in the south and west of Ireland strong. !y opposed the repeal of such bounties. There was now ready ra,r presentation a petition from the county of Cork, signed by ii - 1,004.3 people, who asserted the advantages to he derived from the operation of the bounties now sought to be reduced. Under each circumstances, he earnestly put it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he would press hie measure, which. however right in the abstract, was deprecated in its practical oneration by the great bodies of the people who conc e iv e d tneireelvea affected by it. He r articulrly pointed out to Lis Majesty's Government the vame attached to the Coarse Linen 'Trade of Ireland in the Report of the Parliamentary Committee of last year, and how the ditihsion of that trade had introduced industry and peace in those districts which warn previously n prey to riot and insubordination.—(Cries of " hear, hear !")—He repeated his urgent request, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would, tinder the present pe culiar situation of the coarseli nen tra le of Ireland, pause before he acted upon a new principal, which, however good in the pclaCipltl, was declared to be ruinous in its practical effect, by thou who ought to be considered the best judges of their own Local condition. The Irish woollen trade was destroyed by Xing Witham : time linen trade was substituted upon the faith 04 . the Crown : • the latter ought surely to be protected with peColiar care._a He a r !) Oolonel TRENCH was strongly in favour of the continu ance of tieese bounties, and expressed his astonishment at the row taken of this subject by the Hon. Baronet opposite. .'rlr. DAWSON said, that the opinion of the principal linen manufacturer,' of Londonderry went to show that they appre hended no injury to their trade from the proposed repeal of these bounties; at the same time he knew the landed interest entertained a different opinion upon the subject. Ile really toLougilt the diminution oe the bounty could not have the effect which some anticipated, upon a trade so well established. The linon trade of Ireland was worth two millions and a half annu aily the bounties upon it amounted to !WOOL a year ; now the proposed reduction of them would not exceed 9,000/. a year (one tenths), and how could that - MUD be supposed to be so in ;utiaus when spread over a capital of two millions and a half? ---(ilearl)—He concurred in every thing which had been said about the value of this trade, and necessity of supporting it, ar,4 also deprecated the observations of his honourable friend (z;ir If. Parnell) respecting that trade, which he (Mr. Dawson) ko;se to lie productive of such great advantages to the peasan try* Irtiand. :t r. I) BROWNE and Sir H. Partternt explained. it. HUME supported the view taken of this subject by his Hon. Friend (Sir H. Parnell), and was of opinion that the opera tion of the linen bounties was much misconceived by many who were engaged in the trade. Their apprehensions from the pro pond diminution would, he believed, prove in the result unfounded. After a few words - from Mr. Ronmsoer, th© resolution was agreed to. Alderman WOOD thought, that as the duty on Welch cultn was reduced to Is. M., the Chancellor of the. Exchequer ought, ib-justice to the public, to reduce the duty on small coal from the rash of England. :dr. LiUsllE said that at present one-fifth of the labour at Newcastle WaS absolut e ly wasted; for the small coal, which was one-fifth of the whole quantity raised, could nut be sent to mar ket on acc-aunt of the duty. "111 , . CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was net ye... Tared at preterit to accede to the proposition of the lion. Alderman. He did taut deny • that the subject was worthy of coesideration, and some representations had already been made fakirri tepon it ; but he was not prepared to introduce it into this Rill. He ways fearful it might expose the revenue to a dia /a:nation ; and if lie could he. satisfied on that head, he did not ' see any other objection to the measure. Mr. IFINE suggested that the experiment should be tried for .one year. - m r , Alderman WOOD admitted that there might-be some t r ifling defalcation in the' Revenue, but it would be v e ry cosuiderable, a !t wee probable there would be/ great increase in the consumption of email coal for steetn-engines. The /louse then resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The Sheriff of London attended, and being called in, pre sented three Petitions from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of London, for leave to present Petitions for Bills (the time for presenting Petitions for Private Bills being elapsed), to enable the Corporation to borrow money at.the re. duced rate of 4 per cent-, in order to pay off bonds for money borrowed under Act of the 7th and 43d of Geo. 111., for cork. pleting Illackfriars-bridge, and for other purposes. The Petitions on the motion of Air. Alderman Wool? were read, and ordered to be referred to Committees. Mr. BERRIES brought up the Report on the Rum Duties Bill. The several amendments were real and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to he engrossed. HIDES AND SKINS. Mr. LUSH INGTON moved the second reading of the Fides and Skins Bill. .; Mr. DA VENPORT opposed it, as a measure pregnant with ruin to those concerned in the trade. lie moved as an amendment that it be read a second time this day se'nnight ; on which the House divided, when there appeared— For the second reading, 27 Againgt it, 10 Majority 17 The Bill W4l then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. • On the motion of Mr. II tTerE, it was ordere,l that it be an instruction to the Committee to insert a clause for repealing the acts of 43 and 40 Geo. 111., relative to the flaying of hides and skins in London, and within 15 miles thereof. LAW M RCHA NT. Mr. HUSKISSON brought in a bill to amend the laws for the better protection of r•.ierchant.,, as to factors and agents ; which was read the first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.

The order of the day wait the Report of the Commission upon an amendmeut referred to them in the preceding fitting. . M. Masson, the reporter, stated that tile amendment went to afford to Stockholders a choice between 3 per cents. at 7.'f., and 4 per cent. at par. with the condition of no new reimbursement previous to 1830. The commission prormeed its adoption. M. Clauzel de Coussergues said that the amendment, as mo llified by the Minister of the Finances, expressed quite a ditfe rent thing to that intended by the mover of the original amend ment. M. Leroy had proposed to employ only the Sinking Fund, whereas M. de V Hide intended to make use of financial companies. The orator then referred to the vehemence with which the Opposition of the !louse of Commons attacked France with regard to the Spanish war—(Murmurs),—the tran quilli.y which lilina and Quiroga enjoyed in England, and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire.— (Redoubled mu:- murs.)-1n conclusion, he voted for M. Leroy's amendment. 31. de St. Chanians, in supporting the amendment approved by the Commission, recapitulated tie general arguments in fa vour of the project. M. de la Bourdonnaye supported M. Lerov's original amend ment, because he considered it his duty to 'diminish the injus tice of the law project. The lion. Deputy afterwardirprapos. ed a slight alteration in the amendment ; but the proposition was rejected. M. a. St. Charnans proposed that the interest should be re. duced to 43 per cent., wi'h security :-tgainxt a new reimburse ment until January I, 11;3:5.—Itjected. The President. —I am about to put M. Leroy's amendment. M. de La Ilourdonnaye ropo se d that the amendment should be divided, and the sense of the Chamber taken upon the sepa rate articles. The Minister of Finance opposed this method of putting the amendment. The amendments moved in precedi.7g Sit tings had not been thus divided. Any lion. Deputy would afterwards be at liberty Zi propose additions' Articles. Gen. Foy said that the measure was of too mach importance to be carried by assault. The law projects originated with Mi. ousters, but the power of deliberating and deciding upon amend ments still remained to the Chamber, which ought not to suf fer itself to' be fraudulently deprived of a prerogative, which would render all discussion useless. If there was any embar rassment in the deliberation, it was occasioned by the Mini ster's not having presented the project in separate articles. The law project was embodied in the amendment, but ought so be separated from it. The Minister of Finance said, that an effort was made to divide the amendment because it accorded with the project pre sented by the Government. The vote upon the entire amend ment would not prevent l lon . Deputies discussing amendments not opposed to that adopted. M. Bonnet maintained that a vote upon M. Leroy's amend. ment would not hinder Hon. Deputies voting upon the project. He, however, would oppos e every measure tending w com promise the interests of the Stockholders. Upon putting the question, it was decided that the division should be adopted. M. de Villele (from his placeo—in case the Chamber should adopt the former part of the amendment, and not the other, I cotesider it my duty to declare that the Government does not pledge itself to adopt it thus divided. The amendment was then put as it had been divided, and was rejected. M. Fouquier proposed an amendment ; but the Deputies gradually departing. the number in the Chamber became too few to deliberate, and the Sitting was adjourned. PREtiBYTERY OF EDINBURGH. EDIXBURGII, MAY I.—Ycsterdey the Presbytery met pur suant to adjournment. Dr. I ewe is, as ConYener of the Committee appointed at last meeting, read a petition to the House of Commons against Mr. Kennedy's Bill now in progress, for relief of the poor in Seet land. After a conversation at some length, the petition was agreed to and ordered to be transmitted to the Lord-Advocate, to be by hint presented to the House. The petition of the managers of the Leith-wynd chapel, re specing the election of the Reverend William Simpeon to be Minister of that chapel, which was then taken into consider:l:i in. A counter petition was presented by a number of members of that congregation, stating, that on the 2d March last the Rey. John Syuie was chosen Minister of the Chapel by a majority of three ; but a scrutiny being demanded, the votes were scaled up, and had not since been opened. Nothing farther occur' cl until the 17th of April, when, at another meeting of the Congreeation, Mr. Simpson was elected by a majority of 20. The case of the Managers was stated by their agent, and Mr. Hamilton Pyper, advocate, argued with great ability for the election in favour of 31r. Synie, insisting it was fairly carried. After some discussion by the 31embers of the Presby tery, it was mov e d t h at the Presbytery should proceed to scrutinise the election of the 2d of March. Another motion was made to declare both elections void, and to proceed to a new election. The motions were put to the Vote, when the first was carried by a majority. In our report of the proceedings of the Presbytery on Wed nesday, Dr. Thomson was made to say that the Lord's Supper had not been celebrated in Cakiata for seven years, it should have been that the non-performanee of that ordinance for so lons a period occurred in the Presidency of Madras. 'I he following are the terms of the motion respecting Dr. Bryce, as submitted to the Presbytery on Wednesday last, by Dr. Andrew Thomson : " That whereas the Ecclesiastical Presbyterian Establish ment in the three Presidencies of India, originated in the General Assemby of the national Church of Scotland ; and when it was adopted by the Hon. Court of Directors of the East India Com pany, was placed by the General Assembly under the immediate jurisdiction and superintendence of the Presbytery of Edin burgh, as an integral part of the Ecclesiastical Constitution of Scotland ; and whereas this Presbytery has been informed, that the Rev. Dr. James Bryce, one of the Ministers of that Establishment, in the Presbyterian Church at Calcutta, has lately bees+ appointed by the Government of India, to the civil siteation of Clerk to the Committee of Stationary in that Pre sidency, and being decidedly of opinion. that, from the nature and extent of the employments involved in such an office, it is both derogatory to the character of a Minister of the Gospel, and peculiarly unbecoming and mischievous in the responsible sta tion which Dr. Bryce holds under the authority of the national church of Scotland, did, and hereby do, resolve t o c ommu nicate with the Hon. Court of Dii e,ctt)rs of the East India Company on this very important subject, and respectfully to inquire whether Dr. B's appointment as clerk to the Committee, of Stationery at Calcutta has been confirmed by them, or, if it is yet uncon firmed, wheth e r t h e y i n t en d t o confirm it ; and generally to request infornsetion v:ith regard to any proceedings which they may have thought it expedient to institute respecting a mea sure which, in the opinion of this l'resbytery, is injurious to the character of the Established Church of Scotland, and to the beet interests of religion among the members of her commu niou in the east."-.4 leeitibeeeeh Everting Courant, "Way 1.) 4)115 9 CLARA FISLIER has obtained a prize of ittthirteen.,oey._ r hu ( ni r c: , e it d ea puw,d er.) r sterling in the present • ~• 4 • private l e tt er , Li verpoo l , M i a t y r.l . n )_ st i r ib F o l u n t }: h — al ( f E -p x a t s r t al ; o o l "c7ock last night, the ship Dorset was discovered to be on fire in the Prince's Dock.

The flames burst out again about half_ past four this morning, and were not extinguished without much injury to the vessel. She is now full of water, and the cargo will receive considerable injury. This accident might have !Ken attended with the most ruinous effects, had it not happened at so early an hour, and property to an immense amount would, no doubt, have fallen a sacrifice.

Notwithstanding the intervention of Sunday, and the non-occurreuce of any new political event of importance, N‘e have this day received an Express from Park, with papers and private intelligence. The motive for sending the Ex press is the deep importance of the accounts from Rio cieHeir°, and of the rumourii and gre culationc to which they have givoti rise. Our private iwfortuation to-day, which, per haps, is from tho best informed political quart in Paris, is still rzirn-e, positive and decided in discountenancing and denying every hostile eon" qtruction that can he put upon the tippearance 0 ( the French ships at Brazils. Our Correspotideat. .ven govs so far as to assure us, as from hilt own knowledge, that the French Ministry at pressnt perfectly iincere in its pacific profvs,ious, anti thlt it is much more dis• pose even to make some sacrifices for the main tenance of peace, than to hazard the great finan cial and other advantages which it i% endeavouring to obtain, by cormnittinz itself to any measure that would li e likely to lead to war. We confess, th:.t, knowing as we do the, means of giving correct information possessed by our Cor respou dent, and having unlimited reliatiosi on vPra city and honour, our own opinions, as eapress - in an article below-, written before oar fix' press arrived, are considerably shaken, and now feel inclined to think that the gloom produced by . the news from the Brazil' will be satisfactorily clispelle•d. Our Corres pondent states that he ►gill he able, 1,10143 a day or two, to furnish tis even with a list of the dift.erent French ships at the Brazils, with their respective destinations, which he says will a lone prove that they are not there with hostile inten tions. In addition to the above important corsigee nication from Paris, we are just enabled to state that Mr. CANNING will, w ithin a few dap, be furnished with the means of putting au end to the public uneasiness on this deeply interesting subject, —means of which the Right Hon. Secretary will, doubtless, with his customary frankness, and regard for the interests and feeling); of the public, avail himself at the earliest opportunity. The Papers received by our Express are the Etoile (dated yesterday), and the Journal do Comnurce of Sunday. Th• Eloile again ad v erts. to the naval force at the Brazils. The follow - are extracts : ( From Me Etoile of yesterday.) We yesterday gave au unqualified contradiction to the news of the augmentation of the French naval force in the Brazils. Thu English Journals of the 30th re-produce thu report, which apears to he much credited at London. 'The Courier, in stating that the rurnottr has neither been confirmed nor denied, tries to explain it by saying that the ships which have arrived at the Brazils, are intended to replace seven or eight ships of war which arrived from that quartet some months since ut Brest. This explanation is entirely without founda.. tiou. Instead of seven or eight vessels having arrived at Brest, there were only two frigates and one corvette, which came from the Paci6G• The Jean Bart, of 84 guns, is the only first rate actually at the Brazils, for the Eylau is now on her return. Lieut-C;elieral BourmoLit arrived yesterday morning at Park. French Rentes left off at 1051. 10c. It was only the first paragraph of the pro , - ject of Law for the reduction of the Renter that was carried in the Chamber of Depu ties on Saturday. The decision on the second paragraph, which, however, is of minor importance, was postponed till Monday, (yes terday.) Letters are is town from Lima of a late date, stating, that BOLIVAR was expected there every day. The letters contain no particular news of consequence, Last night, as we anticipated, Mr. CA.iimlxo, in answer to a question put by Sir JAXIA bfAc twrosri, made a communication to Parliament on the subject of the alarming reports from Rio de Janeiro. W e regret to lay, howev er , that the Right Hon. Secretary's statement not q uite so satisfactory as the positive tone of our private information from Paris, as well as of Sunday' , Etude, had led us to expect. Mr. CA.xximo hopes that in a few days it will be in Lis p o wer to be more explicit on the subject :--but then it it evident that the additional information expect ed by him is to be obtained from Paris! B e fore its arrival, we venture to predict that the as surances of the French Government will be of the most solemn and pacific character: Nothipg is over further from the contemplation of that Government than any idea of committing an act of a. , ,:,rreslion, until the very morneot when every thing is completely prepared for striking that blow, the intention to inflict which k had previously denied! The French Ministers, we well know, have already given aisurancmto so, lit, bl
