M delay, which the fees in the Court of Chancery held out, said that it was most ctlumnious. Mr. HUME: replied, that so far from being calumnious, he would prove all that had been asserted, if he were supplied with the necessary papers. Mr. H. T tVISS observed, that the Lord Chancellor had made great sacrifices of a pecuniary nature in the matter of the holidays,: taken by the Commissioners of Bankrupt. The ATTORNEY-GENERA 1., in reply to an inquiry from Dr. Lushington, said, that the payment of the different officers would be regulated by the duties they had to perform. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in noticing what bad been previously said by Mr. Hume, respecting fees considered as an object of revenue, observed that his view of the matter was, that the fees should not be of greater amount titan was requited to afford an adequate remuneration to the officer: . Mr. HOBH OUSE wished to know whether it was intended to vest the appointment of the officers in the Judge ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in the affirmative. The only alteration proposed to be made was, that the duties of those offices should be performed in person, and not by deputy, the salaries being fixed. Mr. J. P. GRANT thought that the only ground on which the exaction of fees could be justified, was that of inducing the officers to exert, themselves. Mr. HOBHOUSE objected to the Treasury having the power of fixing the.salary of the nominee of . the Chief Justice, as that tended to give the Treasury the partial power of appoint ing the officer also. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that the fees were not proposed to be abolished now ; they wo u ld be brought into the xchequer ; it would be a matter of subsequent consideration, as the amount from those rees, should they be retained, would be a suitable compensation for the discharge of their respective duties. • Mr. SCARLETT deprecated any further discussion on these fees at so late an hour. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the next proposition which he had to submit, when this skirmish respecting fees commenced, was that 5001. a-year be added to the retired salary of Puisne Judges, to be deducted from the pre6ent increase of salary, which would leave them in the receipt of 5.5001; a-year. He would further propose that 3,5001. be the retired salary of the Chief Baron, and the Vice-Chan cellor the same that was paid to the Master of the Rolls; and that the retired salary of. the Chief Justice be increased by 2001. —lt was et present 3,8001., and he would propose that it be in future 4,0001. Mr. SCAREETT objected to so small an increaso as 5001. ztleur. He would tnove, as an amendment; that it be in creased by Oa He was unwilling to divide the House in so thin a state, and at so late an hour; but he would nevertheless do so, if the original motion were at present pressed. The OH A NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER a postponement of the discussion on the proposition. The CnAIRCLAX reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday. . TIIE LORD CHANCELLOR'S SALARY. Mr. fIUME gave notice, that at the next sitting of the Com ',mace he should move that it was the sense of the Committee that a net annual salary of. 15,0001. a-year should be granted to the Lord Chancellor, in lieu of all fees and salaries at pre . sent attached to his office as Lord Chancellor and Speaker of the House of Lo r d s being 5,0001. a year more than his Hon. ,the (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) declared him now to in the receipt of.---(Hear, and a laugh.) The second reading of the Spting Guns' Bill was postponed to the sth of June. Lord i'ILYI..ERSTON obtained leave to bring In a Bill to amend Acts relating to the transmission of the effects of officer• and soldiers dying abroad.

BAHTLEMAN.—We sincerely regret to find that the three sisters of this Gentleman, who was so great an ornament to the Musical 'World, were severely dis appointed in the patronage which they expected at their recent Concert at the Hanover - square itoems. The Concert was un luckily fixed on one of the days when the Epsom Races took place, and of course many of the higher patrons of their brother could not b e e xpected to return in time. The very long and severe illness of Mr. BARTLEMAN precluded him from professional exertions for a considerable period, and we have reason to be lieve that his sisters were left in very limited circumstances, rendered more so by the failure of the person who was to dis pose o f hi s Uusical Library. We therefore sincerely hope that Borne e forwardand s a h n e d w by th weihrom esteem he was for of the Nobl e Patrons of the Concer t of Ancient Music, of w hich he was c P ow erfulcome asupporter, so m uch admired, wrll his memory by a lib eral contribution in f avour of his disap pointed were not ind emn ifi e d for the expencfs atte nding their ill-fated Concert. pointed relatives, who, we fear, PRICt - 0# STOCKS Tills Bamk Stock .• — 3 per Cent.

THE SUN. kOSE.II QUIS DICERE FALSUJI .111DE.er LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY is, 1828. The Gazette of this Evening will contain TnE NAVAL PROMOTIONS. At a late hour this morning we received the French Papers of Wednesday, with the Eloile dated Thursday. They bring us accounts'of the state of the Ottoman army,- - as well as of the Egyptain force under the command of Ina Alum PACIIA, both of which are repiesented to be in a very inefficient condition. If these accounts are true, little doubt can be entertained as to the final success of the Greeks. From these Papers we learnohat our countrymen, Major DEXHAM and Lieutenant CLAPPERTON, returned from an Expedition into the interior of Africa, and arrived on the 21st of March at the Lazzaretto of Leghorn. They set out in the beginning of May for Pisa and Florence. These adventurous travellers have traversed countries never before visited by any European, and have collected important information respecting the his tory of the country. We subjoin a few ex tracts : (From the Etale, dated Thursday, May 26.) ST. PETEASBURGII, MAT 7.—immense orders for wheat have been received in the ports of the Crimea. The letters from Odessa testify the general opinion enter tained there that this campaign will be as disgraceful, and per haps even more disastrous to the Porte, than the four preceding. Russian sailors, who have passed the months of February and March in the port of Constantinople, where their ships were in lading, declare, that they never saw any thing more wretched than the crews of the Captain Pacha's fleet. They were chiefly composed of vagabonds and beggars collected in the streets of the capital. CuxuArrx, MAT 18.—For these three days we have had in our road two vessels, the Minerva and the St. Bartholomew, which are going to perform quarantine on their return from Alexandria. On board the latter are two German Officers, one Hessian, the other a Prussian, whom their declining health has obliged to quit the service of the Viceroy of Egypt. They make a de plorable description of the Egyptian army, which has been re presented in such glorious colours in some European Journals. The Viceroy, who is ♦ery liberal, spares no expence to have European Officers, but he will never haVe good soldiers. More than three quarters of his regiments are com posed of Negroes, who match only under the discipline of the cudgel, and assassinate their Officers as soon as they have an opportunity. The cowardice of these wretches is equal to their perfidy ; as soon as they see the bayonets or the sabres of the Greeks shine at a distance, nothing can prevent them from taking flight. As for the Arabs, they first inquire if there are any Arabs to be got, and if it is necessary to fight, they desert in troops. According to what these two Colonels say, it is impossible that the campaign in the Morea should terminate otherwise than by some great catastrophe. [From the Journal (k Paris of May 25.] MILAN, MAY 16.—( Private Correspon(lence.)—The Em peror has frequent public audiences to which all persons are admitted without distinction. His Majesty has already received a great number of petitions, in some of which he had decided on the spot, to the great satisfaction of the petitioners. Prince Metternich seems very much engaged, and it is ob served that he has frequent private interviews with the French Ambassador, and with Sir Henry Wellesley. For some days past important changes are spoken o f, w hi ch the Emperor means to introduce in the Administrati on o f h is Italian States. It is reported, for instance, that there a re to b e Provincial Assemblies in Lombardy and Venice, as in the Ger man Provinces of the monarchy. An official notice on the sub ject is expected.

On the 6th of June, the day on which his Majesty enters , the city of Paris, the Municipal Corps will compliment his Majesty on his entrance. A splendid triumphal arch will be erected near the.barrier of St. Martin, and Te Deem will be sung at Notre Dame ; and at night there will be grand fire works, and all the public places will be illuminated. In the morning a quantity of wine will be distributed to the public. On the 28th of this month, the Ambassadors and different Envoys of the Foreign . Powers will depart for the Coronation.

[Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Padstow, . . dated 2tith Alay.i Arrived the Commerce, Vine, from Cork. Captain Vine spoke on the- 24th instant, going into Cork, a brig front St. dohn's, NeWfoundland, - having the crew of the Columbus on board, which vessel foundered on her passage out." [Extract of a Letterfromthe . Agents to Lloyd's - at Carthagena de Columbia, dated 15th Illarith.] " On the 10th instant thetie tribunals pronounced decision on the cargo of the John and Ann, Critchell, of and from Lon. don for Havanna!), brought in here last month by the Clara, Columbian schooner. The greater part has been condemned as Spanish property, and orders were issued this morning for the sale of it, for the benefit of the captors. His Majesty's Consul here has represented the case to the Government of Bogota. Captain Critchell states, that the crew' of the privateer plua= tiered the vessel of various articles and packages in the cabin. Last wet-k three schooner privateers sailed from hence for the coast of Cuba." The Message from the KING to both Houses of Legislature, requiring provision to be made for the daughter of the Duchess of KENT, and the son of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, was last night taken into consideration. The provision asked for is 6,0004 per annum, to each child. That to the Duchess of KENT was carried, nem. dis. That to the Duke of CUMBERLAND met with great opposition, although eventually it was agreed to. As these children stand in so near a relation to the Crown, and in all probability one orother of them, and ; perhaps both will be called in succession to the throne, it is proper that due care should be taken of their education, and English principles, and English feelings instilled into their minds. It must be obvious too, that there are sentiments regarding tine political connexion between the King and his subjects, and on the rights of those subjects (received as undeniable and current as such in these kingdoms), which no foreign edu cation could confer, and which, it is of the most vital importance, should be fixed on the minds of these children, that they may grow with their growth, and stengthen with their strength.— Such sentiments as these form greater barriers to the encroachments on the privileges of the people, than all the securities the law and constitution can afford, because they would pre vent the wish to arrive at arbitrary power. This view renders the Education of the young Prince GEORGE of CUMBERLAND in England, an object of great importance. The in creasr of income thus given to his Royal Fa ther, and the pledge of the Minister that his soe. shall be enTucated in England, unite to give us hope he will return to his native country, and here pursue such a line. of conduct that will banish the recollection of former grievances, and give a countenance to those who merely require such conduct to justify the favourable opinions they may hold, and wipe away that suspicion which oft repeated changes are calulated to pro duce. WI xnsoß, 31.ar 27.—Yesterday evening, at ten minutes before eight o'clock, his M&JEST y arrived at the Royal Lodge, in the Great Park, in his travelling carriage and four, from Carlton Palace, attended by outriders. The King wan escorted as far as Hounslow, and proceeded from thence to the Lodge, attended only by his own servants. His Majesty was accom panied by Sir W. Knighton. PARIS, MAY '2s.—The day before yesterday the Church of the Sorbonne took fire, and but fur the speedy assistance of the engines, this old building would have been destroyed. Some members being at work on the roof, the cloth which was fixed up to keep the wind from -the chaffing-dish, over which they melted the lead, got loose and took fire; the flames soon caught part of the scaffolding. The workmen did their utmost to stop the flames, and the iremen coming up, succeeded, after two hours' labour, in extinguishing them. Little damage has been done, and nobody hurt. A fire broke out yesterday morning at the house of a rag-merchanat, in the rue Froidmanteru : the merchant, about - 60 years ofage, was found still breathing, but half burnt, and holding his key in his hand. It is said that he possessed two houses in Paris, and that 40,000 francs were found in flower-pots and under rage ; also 300 bottles of wine and brandy. Letters from Paris, received yesterday, state, that the Marquis of HASTINGS was landed at Nice, on his way to this country. Letters dated the 6th April have been received from Sierra Leone. They announce the satisfac tory intelligence that the troops were very healthy, and that every thing was going on well.

Written for the ANNIVERSARY of MAY 28, 1825, DY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ HAIL to the Sm..- of an illustrious SIRE Both hless'd with pow'rs that all mankind admire; The Father rais'd aloft the BRITISH NAME, The Son pursu'd his Father's track to fame : But diff'rent were the times when each held sway, With Elder PITT States held a transient fray ; Then niece ambition prompted them to jar, And territorial pride prolong'd the war; But when the Younger PITT assum'd the rule, Arose dire ANARCHY'S terrific School ; That fatal School its doctrines spread around, • And madly strove all Order to confound— Bade Innovation's bloody torrent roll, And ruthless Massacre o'erwhelin the whole. At length the potent Son, with wisdom's force, Stem'd the dread fury in its mighty course, While Europe listen'd to his sage appeal, Rowed from her torpor, then, with patriot zeal,. !. • Oppos'd DEMOCRACY, and led by PITT, Compell'd th e hid eous M onster to submit. --Hence should the day that gave this Statesman birth Receive due honours from his Native Earth And thrum-, ORDER, FREEDOM, still be found, To hail that Earth as consecrated ground. WEST INDIA ISLANDS. Yesterday a General Meeting took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, of the Owners of West India Pro- Drty in the Islands su bj ec t t o th e F our an d a H a l f per Cent. Duty, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety cf presenting a Memorial to his Majesty's Government, or. the unequal operation of these Duties.—W. MANNING, Esq. M.P., in the Chair. Mr. CARRINGTON, the Agent for Barbadoes, having briefly stated the circumstances under which the 4.i per Cent. Dut es were first imposed, for the purposes of the internal administra. tion of the islands, although, they had never in fact, been so ap plied, but had been saddled with the payment of pensions and other charges, quite foreign to the original purposes for whi:h the duties were granted. He then proceeded to comment, at some length, on the great hardship and inequality of tie impost, which operated most unjustly and partially on Barbadoes and the other Islands subjected to it ; and to their injurious operation he thought the low estate to which those Islands were reduced, might with great justice be ascribed. He thought the present a favourable time for again appealing to the justice of his Majesty's Government, inasmuch as it had [ been; stated by Mr. Canning, that it was not his Majesty's in tention to grant any more p ens i ons out o f the duties, but to ap. propriate them for the payment of the Ecclesiastical establish. relent recently appointed for the West Indies. The present, therefore, was a time peculiarly proper to impress on the Govern ment the propriety of repealing the duties, or at least t o pro.. cure an acknowledgm e nt f rom t h em of the injustice of mak ing part of the West India Property support the Eccle. siastical Establishment, which is destined for th e b ene fi t o f all the Islands. Without something were done, the recent measures taken by the Right Honourable President of the Board of Trade, for the Relief of the West India Interest, would, so far as regarded Barbadoes, Antigua, and the other islands subjected •to this duty, be strictly nugatory. He con. eluded by moving certain Resolutions to be embodied in a Memorial to be addressed to his Majesty's Government. Mr. BROWN, Agent for Antigua, seconded the Resolutions; which after some trifling verbal alt era ti ons, were agree d to, and the Meeting dispersed.—Among the Gentlemen assembled we observed the Earl of Harewood, Lord Combermere, and other great Vest India proprietors. SOCIETY FOR SUPERSEDING THE NECESSITY OF CLIMBING BOYS. Yesterday, after an interval of six years, a public Meeting of the friends and supporters of this Society was held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of tak ing into consideration the best means of abolishing the prac tice of employing boys to sweep chimnies. • More than 300 of the most respectable feinalee„ amongst whom were many of the Society of Friends, attended the Meeting, and took a great in terest in the proceedings. The LonD MAYOR then took the Chair, and said, that as a Magistrate he felt bound to do all he could for the prevention of the practice. The Report stated, that amongst various mechanical contri vances that had been tried, none had succeeded so well its that of Mr. Smart, which it was now proved by evidence was calal lated to sweep about ninety-fi ve flues out of one hundred, and that the remaining five could, by the ready process of the ball and brush, or an iron door on the acute angle of the flue; be better swept than by a boy. It recommended a renewed ap plication to Parliament. - Sir PETER LAURIE moved that the Report should be print. ed and distributed. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said he was most sorry to learn that the use of the machine for sweeping chimneys had rather diminished than increased. The existence of this practice was the peculiar disgrace of this country, for he beloved it ex isted in no other, and foreigners had frequently cited the use, or rather the abuse, of young children, in obliging them to climb chimneys, as a testimony of the - cruelty:of the people. It was the duty of the public to put a stop to the prance, because it was in their power to do so. Certainly mechanical ingenuity could supply a substitute ; an effectual one had, he believed, been provided, but even if none at all were obtained, he should contend that the practice ought to be abolished. His respected friend, the Hon. Grey Bennet, would doubtless bring forward his Bill again before the House of Commons, and it would be for the public to support him by petition ; but much might be done without legislative aid.— It was well known that soot was valuable for agricultural pur poses. Now he threw it out for those who had a more compe tent knowledge, whether it would not beneficial to limit the right of taking soot out of each parish. This right would of course be given to those who made use of the mechanical means of cleansing chimneys, and thus a double advantage would be produced—the odious and cruel evil would be abolished, and the public would have their chimneys swept for nothing.-- (This suggestion was received with loud applause.)—He . called upon those around him to persist in their opposition to this disgraceful practice, which was sufficient to induce per sons to commit infanticide without remore, to prevent the possi bility of seeing their children sink into an occupation of certain misery and crime, which led to a bitter, often an ignominious death.—(Cheers.)—He was convinced that the efforts of the So ciety would he powerfully supported by his friend Mr. Bennet . in Parliament, and h e conc l u d e d by again recommending to.the' Meeting a perseverance in this cause of humanity, and _sat down amidst loud cheers, after having moved a petition to the legislature. Lord MORLEY and Lord GWYDYR also spoke in favour of the Society. Doctor BIRKBECK said he had the honour to belong to an Institution which united the collective talent of the mechanics of the metropolis, and he pledged himself to bring' their atten tion to the practicability of forming machines that in every case would be efficacious, or as to the construction of chimniesiu such a manner as to make it practicable to clean them thoroughly without the aid of climbing boys. The Resolutions were agreed to unanimously, and the Meet ing separated. A great quantity of books, &c. were removed yesterday and Thursday, from the King's Palace, at Pimlico, in consequence of the Proposed alterations to be made in that Palace, to the King's Palace, at Kensington. Mr. KEAN commences an engagement at the Dublin Theatre 03 the 20th of June, and will be followed by Miss FOOTE. The Rev. Mr. MUMMERY, who is charged with felony, being pronounced in a state of convalescence, was removed, on Thursday, to a vessel which is to convey him to North Shields, for trial.
