Hon. Member (Mr. Litdeton)butthat promise formed no part uf Oise Bill, which was calculated to disfranchise two hundred thousand of our Irish fellow subjects; and even its proposed eimentleciform, was to prevent one class of the people from the ex cise of their rights for ever.—(Hear !)—Dangerous alterations were about to be made, and, in the first instance, it was but right to reject them. 14 however, this bill were carried by a majo rity, he would not vexatiously oppose it, as Il on. Gents. might say he had opposed other measures, although he did not think the present lees dangerous or less mischievous than those which he had formerly opposed. Every one admitted the value of the elective franchise, and he asked was it right to alter or abridge it without any evidence of its necessity ? All they had yet heard was opinion and speculation from a few indivi duals, without a particle of that specific and minute evidence which could alone justify so great an infraction of the rights of the people. If frauds existed in the registry of votes let them he remedied • if abuses prevailed, let them be rem e di ed ; but let not useful and necessary popular rights be altogether abolished. —He begged to ask the Hon. Member for Stafford, the relative number of 51., 101., and 201., freeholders who were to have the right of voting in the diferent counties, for it appeared that each of these classes would be as much opposed to each other as they were all opposed to the forty shilling freeholders.— _Now, when the fortress of bigotry had been carried, anti the -picked men of the garrison were ready to throw down their arms, there was no occasion for any measure to carry the day. Ile felt satisfied that the Hon. Members who had been con vcrted to the cause of Emancipation would not be affected by any thing which occurred in another place, however exalted the station of the individual ; and whether it appeared in the shape a a promise or an obligation. Mr. ABERCROMBIE rose amid loud cries of question. Ile wished to state, that the vote which he gave was founded on his own - observations on the state of Ireland, having long thought that a measure like the present would be one of the greatest boons to that country. He had not stated his opinion before, because to entertain the question before the Emancipa tion was carried, would have been an act of jxtreme injustice. As long as those who opposed the Emancipation kept the curse in Ireland; lie would not deprive the Catholics of an of power they possessed, however pernicious its influence might be on the real interests of the country. By supporting the 'ilea-, sure, the Irish landlords would be deprived of the means of jobbing, which was hurtful to the public welfare and discreditable to themselves. The system was ruinous to the in dependence of election, and as Mug as it continued, the middling classes of society would be suppressed and ex chided from all share in elections. The middling class was etrtainly small in number, but it was not less deserving of encouragement ; and it was the duty of a wise and provident Legiglature to give it their support. Every man who had been in 'lreland knew that the elective franchise was the raw material out of which all jobs were manufactured. The free holders exercised no free will ; they had no existence but what they derived from the landlord. In the South of Ire land, the fact was notorious; for if the tenant was deprived of his acre of land, he had no other means of subsistence. The re4triction of the elective franchise would benefit flee election, and be equally advantageous to the people and the Gentry. Mr. LA.MBTON said, that notwithstanding the denuncia tions which the Hon. Member for Westminster had pronounced against all who differed from him in opinion, he did not hesitate to give a conscientious vote against the bill.--c Hear !)—He did not believe that the forty shilling freeholders were the class of beings which they had been reported to be. They were in pos session of a certain privilege, and although by the amended Bill they were not disfranchised, still as their children lost the elec tive right, he would not vote for the diminution of a franchise, which it had been the business of 'his life to extend. He did not conceive that the Hon. Member for Staffordshire (Mr. *Lit tleton) had proposed the Bill ; it came from a different quarter —a quarter in which he placed no confidence— " Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes." Mr. LITTLETON assurred the House, upon his honour, that he was entirely a volunteer in the question. He requested permission to introduce the Bill without the solicitation of any one ; and although he asked the advice of other Gentle men on several of the points to which the Bill related, he alone was responsible for it. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the Second Reading 233 Against it - - - 185 Majorir -—4 B ' The Bill was then ordered to be committed on Friday next.

CIUPI DICER], l'ALcUll _I(.7I,EAT LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1925. Last night Mr. I4YTTLETON curried his Dis francl►isin,g Bill to a second reading by a majority of 4S. We so lately gave our sentiments oa this measure that it is unnecessary now to do so again, but we cannot help observing, that it appears to us the strangest contradiction in the world to see the same men supported tl►e Catholic 1 Relief Bill giving their aid to a measure, the avowed object of which is to take away the right of voting from a very large body of persons• be cause the Relief Bill cannot with safety be car ried without it. We do not know bow these opposite measures will be received in Ireland,l but we know, that if the 40s. freeholders ofl England were to be told, that because it iy neces sary that a certain law should be made, having the advancement of a small portion of their body for its object, that they, the larger body, must yield up the right of voting, they would not be very well satisfied with the conduct of those who should propose it, and so far from either measure effecting conciliation and giving tranquillity, we should be surprised if it did not breed tumults and riots, and cause all the dreadful consequences of popular commotions. It may, perhaps, be true, that the 40s. freeholders of Ireland will not oppose the Bill., but are willing to sell their birth-right for tin' sake of the advantage Of the leaders of the Catholic faction ; but the proposi tion is not so evidently correct that any blame can be imputed to those who, like us, doubt its verity. It rests at present on simple assertion only, or, if not assertion, on, what is much worse, very interested testimony—the testimony of those who are most likely to receive the advantage of the concessions made to the Catholics. We con fess this kind of'comduit detracts in no small de- gree from our confidence in the first measure., be cause we see in its advocates the same glaring incon sistencies, the same 'disregard of the rights of those whose friends they style themselves, that always mark the conduct of popular leaders when they find that the rights of the people stan-ti in ate way of their own advancement. Let it not be supposed we say that the fact is so; we state it only as one reason, amongst others, for the stre nuous opposition we feel bound to make to this infringement on one of the leading principles of the British Constitaion. We repeat again, the measure at this time is unwise and unseasonable. The Paris Papers of Sunday are filled with the debates in - the Chamber of DeputieS on the amendments made by the Peers on the Law of Indemnity. After a w arm discussion, the whole Law, as amended by the Chamber of Peers, wa s carried by a majority of 9.9.1 votes against 130. Th ese Papers contain no other intelligence of interest, except a report in the Quolidienne, that the Congress at Milan is to take into considera tion the affairs of Greece and those of South America, and of Portugal, and the following ex tract from the Etoile MADRID, Arm 14. We learn by authentic dispatches from Manilla, that on the 13th November last there appeared before that port a corvette of 28 guns, coming from Guayaquil to surrender to the govern ment of the legitimate King. There was not a single Spaniard on board of this vessel, which was part of the revolutionary nary of Peru. The Government of the Philippines had given orders for the corvette to sail for Cadiz in the month of January, under the command of Don Benito Ortiz, au officer of the Royal • Navy. A article from St. Petersburgh, in the Alige meine Zeitung of the 2,oth instant, states that an Ukase was promulgated by the Senate on the Bth February, which directs that, with the exception of the two U►►iversities at St. Petersburgh and Moscow, all tl►e public establishments shall wear no clothes, and make use of -no woollen articles, but such► as are of Russian manufacture. As a further encouragement to the wool trade, the Russian Government has ordered wool fairs to be held in nine provincial towns, most of which are to last two or three weeks. The principal ones will be held at Orel, Woronesch, Kiew, Char kow, and Pullawa. Hobart Town Papers to : the 22d October have been received at the New England Coffee-house. The following is the only article worth extract- ing : Another expedition has recently sailed for Moreton Bay in the Government colonial brig Amity, to establish a new settle ment somewhere in its vicinity. The vessel takes prisoners and stores under a guard of a detachment of the 40th regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Butler. The Commandant of the settlement is Lieutenant Miller; a number of volunteers com pose the expedition. In a few years, if we go on as we have done, British Colonies will be planted all along the eastern and round to the north-west side of this island. His MAJESTY having appointed this day for holding his second Levee this season, th(usual preparations were made for the preservation of order, and parties of the Police, under the direc tion of Townsend, Sayer, and others, were sta tioned at the different avenues to Carlton Palace. In the fore Court were ranged a small detach ment of Foot Guards, with two Bands, by whom the different national airs were performed in the course of the morning. 'flte Grand Entrance and Hall were lined by a party of the Yeomen of the Guard, and a party of the King's Household, the latter being in State liveries. At one o'clock the State apartments were thrown open, and company commenced and continued arriving, in one unbroken chain of carriages, up to the time when our Reporter left. The utmost order pre veiled. Private advices Lave been received from Mexico, brought by his MAJESTY'S yacht, Herald, which arrived at Portsmouth last Friday, stating that a coal-mine has been discoved in the imme diate vicinity of the great Valeticiana mine. His MAJESTY has signified his intention to visit Drary•laite Theatre on Monday next. Mr. Secretary CANNING WiLS attended yester day by Dr. HOLLAND and Mr. SUUTER. The Cal thagena (Colombia) Gazette of the 19th February announces the arrival there of the Marquis de MAGNAN, hearing dispatches of im portance from the French Government to that of Colombia, with which he immediately proceeded to Bogota. This mission, on account of the known character of the French for intrigue, is regarded with some suspicion by the merchants connected with Colombia ; but it may be observed, on the other hand, that it is the policy of the French . Governmeut to steer clear at present of diffi culties of every kind, •in order to carry in-' to effect the great measure for the reduction. of the interest ; and besides that the r 6. marks of the ministerial journals on the ad dress of the French Merchants, claiming .pro tection for their transactions in South America, implied that this subject already occupied the attention of the French Government, and might even be construed to refer to this mission of the Marquis de illaaNAN, as one of the measures which had been resorted to for that purpose. It is remarkable that Colonel CAMP/SELL, who is the bearer of the English commercial treaty, will be preceded a few days by the French mis sion to Bogota. Dispatches, dated the 26th February, have been received from Major-General TURNER, at Sierra Leone. he transports that hack arrived there with troops from England had 'proceeded to Cape Coast Castle. The td West India Re giment had embarked from Cape Coast for the West Indies. _ The French frigate Cybile, lately brought from from the Dey of Tuxes as a preaeat to the King of FRANCE six beautiful horse, two mares, two lions, four ostriches, two Guinea sheep, six camels, besides two dozen of rich woollen ves t s , sashes, lion and tyger-skins, a magnificent rose and jastnin oil, and a superb Moorish dress for her Royal Highness the Duchess of Angouleme. depressed state of the Shipping in scaodv It is mentioned in a late Copenhagen Paper, al jar p k r , o t o h f a o t f s t e h v g eral American vessels have arrived ports, chartered to carry Corn to Lisbon. melancholy h tel Castellane, in the street des Ar which a few years ago was purchased for 370,000 aist'a et- I ,:ad ea n thei e si cs it s (abou t 14 / 000/) was sold lately for the sum of 1,700.000 francs (68,000/4 being an advance of nearly 500. per cent.

The Officers of the Tyne Hussars gave a grand military dinner at Dodsworth's Hotel, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in honour of his Majesty's Birth-day, on Saturday last, Lieut.-Colonel Sir THOMAS BURDON, in the Chair. Lieutenant-Colonel Teesdale of the Ist Dragoon Guards, and other Officers belong. ing to that regiment were present, as well as several Gentlemen (non-military) belonging to the town, forming in all a.most agreeable party of about 40. The dinner arid wines were in Mr. Dodsworth's usual excellent style. When the cloth was drawn the Chairman rose, and said, the toast he was about to give was the health of our Most Gracious Sovereign: long may the nation enjoy the happiness of his Majesty's paternal sway. Drank with the most enthusiastic applause and four dines four, the Band playing the National Anthem in fine style. The next toasts were, " The Duke of York and the Army."-- " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy." Appropriate music following. The Chairman then rose to propose the health of his excellent friend on the right—he moult Lieut.-Colonel Teesdale ; and he would add, the officers of the regiment. As a Yeomanry Officer, it did not become him (Sir 'l'. B.), to re:. view a distinguished regiment of the line; but this he would say, so gallant a corps was well deserving of his Mostiespectful notice, and a fiall-flowing bumper.—Drank with great applause, and three times three.—Lieut.-Colonel T. rose and returned thanks in very handsome terms. He concluded by proPe's ln f the health of Lieut.-Colonel-Sir Thomas Burdon,' and the Of ficers of the Tyne Hussars.—The Worthy CMAJRMAN acknow ledged the compliment in a very neat and appropriate speech' , which was greatly applauded.—On the health of the Bishop of Durham, and the Clergy of the Diocese being given, the Rev. Tatomis ALLASON (Vicar of Heddon-m-the-Wall) , rose and returned thanks.—The Lord-Lieutenant of the County of Durham., the Earl of Darlington, was drank with great ap— plasse.—The Viee-Chair (Major Ca wraer.t.), was propose& in a very handsome manner, by Mr. GIBSON (bankerl.—M ajor CAMPBELL made a suitable ae;;nowleclgment.—Lieutenant — Colonel TEASDALE begged to give a toast, which, sitting where-! he was, he was sure would be received with peculiar bade faction—he would give the Lord Chancellor of England, and for three very sufficient reasons ; because that distinguished Nobleman was a most excellent Judge and Minister—because he was a Newcastle man—and because he was a relation to their very worthy President. The toast was drank with very great applause, and three times three. The Chairman rose to make his acknowledgments for the honour that Lad been done the Chancellor, by drinking his Lordship's health in so flattering a manner. It would afford his Lordship great pleasure, lie was sure, when he learnt in how , complimentary a manner that company had noticed him.---,lllr. Ai:HST.IIOIw rose, and.in brief, but very handsome terms, proposed the health of the Judge of the Court of Admiralty (Lord Stowell), whose tran scendent merits, as a Civilian and a Statesman, would hand him down to posterity, like his distinguished brother, as OF_ of the great ornaments of the age in which he lived.—(Dren e • with astounding applause, and three times time.)—The Chair- - man again returned thanks—Capt. DUTTON rose, and in hand some terms proposed the health of their Secretary (Mr. Grieve son), whose kind services.were at all times so satisfactory 1 0 . the corps.- Mr. G. rose, and made his acknowledgments fo r: the high honour, which had been so obligingly conferred upon' him. He felt proud in being where he was that day to cele brate with loyalty and respect, the birth-day of their most ex cellent Sovereign, one of the best-intentioned Princes that had ever sat upon the British Throne, and to whose truly paternal sway, hi fact, ought to be ascribed the general happiness of the nation. He would say, in the words of a most accom plished scholar : " Long may our Sovereign live, by Heaven's decree, To rule a nation loyal, brave, and free ! • , His people's love, his great, his best reward; He our protector—We his faithful guard." (Great applause).—Several excellent and appropriate toasts fol lowed, intermingled with some fine specimens of vocal talent , which, with the brisk circulation of the "rosy wine," very materially contributed to the pleasure and hilarity of the even" ing. A few minutes before twelve the President quitted the Chair, and the party broke up.
