With a view to cor 4ct this cryin g evil, which in the present ession has been most seriously- felt, a Select (4)tnfaittee was appointed to consider the con- Ititution of Committees on Private Bills, and .:Port their observations to the House. Their e Port has been printed. The expence, how :vet, attendi ng P r i vate Bills has by this Report : est lef t out of the question ; and, as it is a point 'nuch less importance than the other, the ornis *lo4 ti lsi Perhaps, not of much consequence, espe 011Y as a Bill i s now in progress " to authorize of 14 xation of costs on Private 13ills in the House „ e°4 " 9 ni." The C omm i ttee has confined itself 4te r'Y to one p o i n t, v i z . t h at of endeavouring to (18. a decision on the justice and real merits of ccrtl'lilt proposed. The most serious mischief was ha " Prot racte d and expensive investigations re a ttentied so l e l y by Members, whose con luotlllen's were really interested in th e re i u lt s , s ti 14 Some cases by M em b ers w h o h ave t h eme se c an b ad an individual interest in the sub -14.1 of the Bills, while it not unfrequently tla u ll . enec l that the final decision on the .e s `tlo se "u in th e re p orts h ave, at t h e very othetV Committees, been settled by numerous been MenT hers, who, f rom t h e i r a b sence , h ave l o oratit of the information obtained during stti4 est i 4 ' e t stag es o f t h e procee di ngs. " The " opening a Committee by moving The 4vet that a l l who come shall have voices " is t „ evil u i to, as greatly tending to increase the \-Itinviti , interested parti es i n qa 14 . 1 . us ng all the e to ta k e part in the business of the (tit' p it P Q ' which necessarily terminates in (.:gibt,4:ll4hce of th e stronges t p ar ty." Th e rt , eo ttee ' lloWev er , h ave f oun d it i mposs ib le ll'ltatlnend any _permanent impr9velnent in mentioned particular, because such pro- ceedings are naturally incident to•the constitu tion of the Committees en private bills. The, Committee seemed to have considered it- impossi• isle to compel the attendance of all the Members of the different Private Committees, and indeed it is sufficiently obvious that such a measure never could be resorted to. They have therefore satis fied themselves by recommending the "abstain ing from complying with the motion, that all who come shall have voices," and the forming of a new division of the counties from the members for which the Committee is to be taken, accoin panied by permission to reduce the list. The Report then goes on— " SVith this view it is submitted to the House, that each Bill should be hereafter committed to the Member intrusted with its management, and •to the Members serving for the county or place immediately connected with the project,' and to as many of the adjoining counties as may contain, as nearly as may be, GO Members ; and that to this number should be added other counties containin g about GO more Members, taken in discriminately from other parts of Great Britain and Ire land. If voices are no longer to be allowed to all who attend Committees, it seems highly desirable that provi .sion should be made for the attendance of a fair proportion of Irish and Scotch Members on Committees on English Bills, and of English Members on Irish and Scotch Com mittees. According to the ekistin g lists of the divisions of counties,' made under the direction of the Speaker about 25 years ago, there are in some instances above 200 Members from adjoining counties at liberty to attend Committees, while in others there are not more than between 60 and 70. By pre serving the principle of committing Bills to a limited number of Members from adjoining counties, the House will retain some security for an adequate attendance of Members possess. ing local knowledge oa tho subject on its Committees ; while the admission of an equal number of Members from other parts of -Great Britain and Ireland will have a tendency to correct any prevalence of bias on the minds of Members serv ing for -counties with which any particular project may Lie connected." The Report concludes, by recommending the rliouse Co Prohibit adjouruments to , a distant day to prevent any report being made, and also the striking out of the. essential clauses of a Bill. It can hardly he expected that such a plan as this would be 'sufficient to check the -. evil entirely, but at all events it seems well calculated to prevent the .carrying of a Bill by a coup de main, as was generally the case with open Committees, and thus gi►es a greater chance that the opinions of Members who have at tended the whole of the proceedings should not be entirely overruled by those who have not heard the evidence produced in support of or against th e Bill. Unreasonable delay will also be avoided by compelling the Committee to wake a Repurt to The House. New York Papers to the 27th, Philadelphia to the 26th, and Boston to the 24th May, have arrived. The following are extracts : ( From the Philadelphia Paper of the 25th Mai.)

It is said lie had signed 200 passports in ono day fox their return to the United States. Colonel Campbell, the British Commissioner to Colombia, reached Carthagena on the Ist of April, with authority to nego ciate a treaty of commerce and navigation with that country.

FLORENCE, JUNE 11.— Prill cells P AULINE BORGHESE (sister of BUONAPARTE) died the day before yesterday of a lingering consumption, which baffled the skill of the most distinguished physicians of this city.

SWITZEMLAND, JCNE 15.—0 n Sunday the sth, at two in the morning, the city of' Zurich was illumined by a frightful column of fire which arose on the other aide of the lake ; it was found to be the great Dye-house ; one of the owners perished in the flames he left three young child ren i n the greatest distress. It i s said the fire was caused by the spon taneous combustion of some oil cloth. The Canton of Tessin() has granted a license to a Piedmontese Society for 15 years, for establishing steam vessels in the Lago Maggiore. A Letter from Staufen, in the. Grand Duchy of Baden, says--" The damage done by the dreadful hail -storms of the 29th May, in 17 parishes in this district, amount to 390,000 florins, without reckoning the loss of the fruit. The fields, present a most melancholy appearance of desolation. The corn fields look like stubble after the harvest, and the trees are as bare of leaves as in the middle of winter." The Bank for Savings established by the i\la. gistrates of Berlin .---ven years ago, prospers in a very remark able manner. According to the statement published yesterday by the Magistrates, the number of persons subscribing has in creased in that period from 565 to 14,136, and the annual depo_ sits from 14,491 to 430,405 d o ll ars : the amount of the deposits at the close of the first year wa5 . 14,032 dollars, and at that of the 7th, is 695,420 dollars. Some alarm has been excited amonz the poorer classes in Berlin, by a report that the establishment called the Addresrhoug (the greatest pawnbrokers' institution at Berlin, which was the property of the late Privy Councillor Humbert) had got into difficulty. Besides lending on pledges, it also took money for which it paid 4 per cent. interest, and the poorer classes were accustomed to deposit their savings there, espe cially before the establishment of the Savings Bank. The re port was that it had suspended the repayment of the sums de posited. It is now understood, however, that the Directors have provided means to satisfy the most urgent demand. As this insti tution was allowed by law to take 8 per cent., and could obtain as much money as it wanted at 4 per cent., such an event as any embarrassment was quite unexpected, and scarcely imaginable. It is said, however, to have had great losses by discounting bad bills, and by the depreciation of property in which it had mort gages. It is scarcely to be imagined how the value of real pro perty has been depreciated in all the Prussian States. Thus the Reichard Estates in the neighbourhood of Danzig, which at no Very distant period were valued at 164,000 dollars, and on which - the Credit Association, as it was called, had lent 90,000 dollars, were.sold by auction for 32,000 dolla rs ; t h at is at a less than a fifth part of their estimated value.

The Knights of the several Orders will wear their Collars. THE KING'S VISIT TO NORTUMBERLAD 40USE. It has been a great object of the Duke of Northumberland to procure a visit from the King to his ancient Family Mon ition at Charing.cross, and particularly so since he has expended such immense wealth upon it, under the. direction of Mr. C. Cundy, the Architect. His Grace prides himself that the whole of the new furniture and decorations are, wholly of Bri tish manufacture, and all the artisans and tradesmen are Eng lishmen. The King, in compliance with the wishes of his Grace, to view the costly improvements and alterations of his Mansion, embraced the opportunity of the absence ofthe Noble Duke of viewing the premises in the : private manner pin- . sible,' and in consequence all formal rteeption of the King was avoided. His Majesty entered Northumberland House in a pri vate carriage yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, attended by Sir C. Long. Mr. Nash, the Architect, had• arrived at the Mansion a few minutes before, to receive the King. The only person of the Noble Duke's establishment, who had the honour of attending the King, was the Duke's housekeeper, who con ducted his Majesty through the principal suites of apartments. His Majesty ascended the grand stair-case, which he considered unique, being of solid marble, and was 'conducted through the dining-rooms, drawing-rooms, the supper2room, the Duke's private rooms, &c. &c. which occupied the King about half an hour.

LAW A NECDOTE.--The petition of Timothy Oates, in 1792, public Crier of the Court in Wiltshire, repre sented to the Judges—." That your petitioner is this day 84 years of age, and was a crier in this Court before either of your Honours were born—that, small as his perquisites are, his wants are still smaller. fle, alas ! can cry no longer, but he may possibly live a little longer; and during that small period he implores to cry by proxy. His son Jonathan has a sonorous echoing voice, capable of rousing a sleeping juror or witness, to the remotest nook of the Court-house ; your petitioner begs that Jonathan may be accepted as his substitute; so that of your petitioner it may be said, when he is dead and gone, that although he cried almost all the days of his life, yet he never shed a tear."

The remedy soon succeeded. DR. JOHNSON.—Sir THOMAS LITTLETON call ing upon Dr. JOHNSON when balloons first ap peared and excited so much notice, thought it would be a good opportunity for the Doctor to go up in one upon speculation, " Psha, Sir," I said the Doctor—" Well, but, -Sir," said Sir TnomAs, 46 as you say in one of _your Ramblers, that a fool will he a fool in whatever atmosphere lie was born, this would be a good: time to take up some weak man with you by way of experi ment." " But, why give me so much trouble," replied the Doctor, 46 when you can prove the fact by going up alone." SARAH, DUCHESS OF MA LBOROUGIL—The. Duchess had a fine Portrait of the Queen, when Princess ANNE, by Sir GODFREY K.NELLER.—' thrWhen she and the Queens quarrelledfa,cteheiDs notucltessos ied f t o h i e lo f w ea in tu g re i s ns p c i r ti i t i t ) t t e io d n— bl c a , c A k iy and underneath black as my heart."

Dr. iVlEan.—This celebrated Physcian was the son of a Dissenting Clergymen, and when the Doctor, a young man, was entering his profession, he used to be frequently called out of the Meet ing-house, us if suddenly sent for by a patient. The father on these occasions favoured this ruse de Medicrn, by putting up an additional prayer for the success of his son's visit, and this devout expedient had a considerable influence in promo- , ling the Doctor's popularity. The Society of Glass Blowers this day paraded several of the streets of the Metropolis, accom panied by a band of music, and several flags. Their appearance was very respectable. -) A f • r OF 14y. $ Rt, FOR, THE SUN.

BAPTIST IRISH EDUCATION SOCIETY. The Eleventh Anniversary of the above Society was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, at six o'clock in the morning, JOSKPIf BUTTERWORTH, Esq. M.P. in the Chair. Mr. BUTTERwORTH said, that he had great doubts as to his being able us attend that Meeting, owing to his recent severe indisposition, but he w as di spose d to run any risk rather than not m ee t the Society upon that occasion. If ever any So ciety was of importance, he was sure that was which exerted itself to diffuse the light of the Gospel over a country which had been so long enveloped in darkness. They were doubtless aware of the opposition which had been excited in Ireland to the cir culation of the Scriptures; but while he lamented that opposi. tion, he thought the best course to pursue would be that of.con ciliation. 'When a Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church could deem a peasant infected, : merely because he touched the Holy Scriptures, and could approve the conduct of another who took the sacred volume with a pair of tongs and flung it into thegarn den, he thought it was high time for the Society to exert itself After such a transaction, he thought he might safely call upon that Meeting, although Dissenters, to support the King and the Protestant Church, in opposition to the mischievous and impious doctrines of Popery.—(Applause.) The Rev. Mr. In vista then read the Report for the last year, which stated the progress made by the Society in estab lishing schools for the promotion of scriptural education in Ireland ; that 5000 spelling books, 500 Bibles, and 1,900 Testaments, i n th e E ng li s h and Irishlanguage, had been cir culated, without expence to the Society, through the kind assistance of the British and Foreign Bible Society ; that 90 schools had been established, 17 of which were exclusively for females, and that the.number of scholars was 8000, about 7000 of whom 'were the children of Roman Catholic parents. With respect to the funds of the Society, it stated, that the CORl miute had received, in the past year, from a lady at Lyming ton, 200/.,.the interest to be applied towards the support of a school, to lie'called hyher name.—They have received alsO the sum of 360/. from another Lady, at Chipping Norton. The contributions from Ireland had exceeded those of any former year—they amounted to about 4001. The Rev. Mr. lIIIDDLEDITCH moved that the report be received and approved of. The ltev. Gentleman said, that if the peasantry of Ireland were to remain in a state of ignorance, it could be little matter for wonder if the crimes and the dis position to rebellion still continued to render that country wretched. He viewed the success of that Society as a pledge of the sanction of the great founder of the Christian faith. The Rev. Mr. EDWARDS seconded the Resolution. The locality of the Society alone gave this a peculiarity distin guishing it from other Missionary Associations. How Ire land came to be neglected he knew not, unless upon the principle of the Edinburgh watchman, who fell asleep upon duty, alleg. ing that fact as an excuse for not giving the alarm of fire within a few yards of him.; in addition to the notable excuse that the fire was just behind his box, and therefore he could not see it— hut had it been afore, he should have seen it, even had it been as far off as the Calton-hill.—(Laughter.) —Still Ireland was not behind the box, and the only reason that could be alleged was, that the watchman had been asleep. They had, however, awakened, and he trusted their labours would now redeem their former negligence. He thought that readers were use ful, fir if the Society, owing to the prejudices against their Clergy, could not do their best, in the words of Sir William• Curtis relative to the Corn Laws, " they should do their next best, and after that their next best, and that, after all, was the best."---( Laughter. The resolution was then carried unanimously. The Reverend Jonas( WlLsost said, that Ireland had too long been considered, to the shame of England, as a foreign country, but he could now hail with pleasure the time in which it was considered at hinne. lie rejoiced that many Societies were in existence, pursuing the same objects as-this, but he was still more pleased at observing the unanimity which prevailed amongst all. - There was an improvement in the in dustry, in the cleanliness, and in the habits of the peasantry, in the neighbourhood of the Schools ; the Sabbath was also kept in reading the Scriptures, instead of playing football, and danc ing and drinkingafter Divine Serviie, as had previously been the case. The demand for the Scriptures had increased to such an extent, that the funds of the Hibernian Society were inadequate to afford the requisite supply. The Rev. Mr. HAWKINS said, that the root of Irish evil was popular ignorance, and every Society which was calculated to remove that ignorance must be worthy of the warmest sup. port. The Rev. Gentleman then proposed a resolution, to the effect that the Scriptures were the best medium of instilling the principles of education into the children of the Irish peasantry. The Rev. Mr. CRAMP seconded the Resolution, after which several other Gentlemen addressed the Meeting.—Thanks were voted to J. Butterworth, Esq. for his conduct in the Chair, and the Meeting adjourned. Notwithstanding the early hour at which the Meeting was held, the Great Room at the City of London Tavern was com pletely filled, by a very respectable assemblage of persons, principally Ladies. • By the Juliano, ad vices were received yester day from Mexico of the 23t1 of April. They communicate the ratification of the treaty of commerce with Great Britain, which was carried in the Congress on that day by a large ma. jority. The . letters do not state what the votes were in num ber on this question. Its having been carried by a large majo rity is, however, a proof that the apprehension entertained of the opposition of the priests, and of the aristocratic class, had no solid foundation. Among these classes, on account of their old prejudices in favour of the mother country, the measure was far from being an acceptable one. They had the address, it seems, to conceal this, and therefore, in their op position to it, took the popular view of its being derogatory to , the dignity of Mexican Feder a tio n , an d a recogn i t i on for com- 1 mercial purposes only, while that of their political independence, though implied in the other, was passed over without direct notice. That the party were able to do so little even with this aid, is a proof of the insignificance into which it has fallen. The state of Mexico, and that of the Federation generally, is repre sented as perfectly tranquil. 31r. Monir n was to leave Mexi co in two or three days after the ratification, in consequence of his recal, and for the purpose of bringing the treaty with him to England. The Egeria sloop of war was lying at Vera Cruz to receive Mr. AIORIER, when the Juliana sailed from that port, which was on the Ist of May. This vessel has 'effected the voyage to Mexico and back, including the detention for the delivery of the cargo, since the 14th of February last. The ex change at Mexico had further improved, being quoted at 46 to 47. The account of the contract for the last loan had reached the capital. The Primrose sloop of war, with the mail for Jamaica and England, was lying at Vera Cruz.— (Times.) All are agreed that an independent Fortune is desirable. The only question is, the easiest and quickest mode of obtaining it ; and we defy all philosophy and science to afford so simple, quick, and pleasing a method to gain independence as that by way of Lottery; which requires neither skill, strength, nor judgment. It is only risking a very small sum now, and the mere turn of a Wheel in a few days . can convert it into Twenty Thousand Guineas; as in the present Lottery, which not only contains Four Prizes of 821,000, with many other Capitals, and no Blanks, but the fortunate holders of the Four Prizes of 1000 Guineas will have, gratis, Sixty-four Pipes of Wine, being Sixteen Pipes to each Prize ; and the Wine to be chosen by the fortunate holders themselves. The whole amount of the Prizes, Z 204,442, with the Sixty-four Pipes of Wine, wilt be decided all in One Day, 15th July,next Month.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT. OF KING'S BENCH, JUYIC 24. A TAYLOR'S BILL—BATE AND FINLAY V. BELL. The plaintiff's in this action are celebrated tailors in Du street, St. James's; the defendant is a gentleman residing in Dean-street. The action was brought to recover 1051. being the amount of their bill for clothes made for Mr. Bell. Tha only peculiarity in the case was the extraordinary dinunaioas of Mr. Bell, who WAS stated to be on the verge of seven feet in height and twenty stone in weight, a ci rcumstance w hi c h occa sioned considerable difficulty to the plaintiffs in fitting their customer, and sours rather high charges, aueh AS six and fleV4l guineas'fo a coat.

AFFLICTING CIRCUMSTANCE.—Between LIAM KELLY and HELEN HENDERSON' a tender attachment had subsisted for years. Both resided in the parish of Urt,ind, little anticipating the calamity that followed, they, with joyotis hearts, fixed their wedding-day for Friday week; the 10th inst.: • • A number of friends were invited, and the ceremony was to be performed at illeikle Dalbeattie's. On the Thursday preceding she became suddenly indisposed, and, on some one asking her to lie down a little, touchingly replied, " Yes ; but l e must be in a soft place, for oh ! 1 feel as if I would never rise again." In the course of the day she became worse, and a doctor having been sent for, he declared the come plaint to be of a serious nature, and indicated from the • first his fears as to the issue. Next morning the wedding_ party began to assemble, the worthy clergyman also ar. rived ; and then, alas ! the house of joy was unexpectedly turned into the house of mourning. The unh a pp y bride, • whose sands of lif e were well nigh run, was humanely • made aware of her situation ; the heart broken bridegroom was also warned that death was in the cup ; and, amidst the tears and sobs of all present, they were mutually in terrogated whether, under such an awful dispensation of Providence, the proposed ceremony should proceed to be delayed. A question so trying, was, perhaps, never put under similar circumstances ; and after communing with their own hearts, the bride expressed a wish to close "her ' eyes as an affectionate wife, the bridegroom to discharge ' the duty of a sorrowing widower, by laying the bead of his betrothed in the grave. This resolution added not a little to the agony of the scene; the mournful party approached the couch of the dying woman ; the divine fa. • your was most pathetically invoked amidst many Inter ruptions from hearts that seemed ready to burst From the bosoms they agitated ; the bridegroom grasped the burn- • ing hand that was languidly extended in token of went ; the . worthy Clergyman pronounced a blessing, and in faltering u. cents made those one whom in less than 12 hours death bad ea- • vered andsundered for ever. We cannot dwell on what followed. The eyes that affection had for a moment lightened, gradually • waxed glazed and dim ; the bridal lied became the couch ofdesth, and she who, but a day or two before, had been rejoicing in the prospect of conjugal felicity, was stretched a lifeless but lovely corpse, before many of the weddin g party had resoluti on t o tear themselves from a scene so distressing•--(Dumf THE CONVICTS ORDERED FOIL EXECUTION ON MONDAY.—These men, on being informed this day that there was no hope to be entertained of earthly mercy, seemed to become more sensible to their awful fate, and joined the Rev.
