NATIONAL SILK WEAVERS' SOCIETY, Estabiishedfer the sole purpose of giving constant Em ployment to the poor Weavers and their Families of Spitalfields. THEIR PATRONS, and the NOBILITY and Public, are most respectfully informed, that they have commenced Selling at their Warehouse, No. 15, De vonshire-square, Bishopsgate-street, opposite the Church, previous to opening their Retail House, at No. 59, Oxford street. They cut at their Warehouse any quantity of Silk from the piece, at one penny per yard on the cost price, where they always keep ready manufactured rich Ducape, plain and figured Gros de Naples, stout Lustting and Sarsnet, Black and coloured Levantines, and Satins of every de scription and quality, and a most extensive assortment of rich Silk Damasks, including, among a variety of others, Thirty new Patterns of elegant Taberets, the designs of which are perfectly Original, and executed exclusively for the Society, consequently will be found the greatest no velty ever submitted to public inspection. Ladies are most respectfully informed that it is not profit they seek, but only sufficient to cover expences, and keep the men in constant employment. Those Ladies and Gentlemen who will honour the Society by becoming yearly Subscribers of Ten Shillings, will be waited upon at their respective dwellings by one of the members of the Com mittee, with every new Pattern of Silk previous to their being submitted to public sale. The Subscriptions will go to the Fund of the Society, to provide for the benevolent purposes for which it has been established, viz.—at each member's death, 121. A member's wife's death, 61. If any member sick, 12s. per week, and if out of employment, 10s. The purchasers, if they wish, may see rich Silks in the progress of being manufactured. Due notice will be given to the Patrons and Nobility, and Public, the day on which they open in Oxford-street. The rumour is again revived that his Majesty intends visiting this port during the ensuing sum mer, and that Saltram House is fitting for the King's reception.—Exeter Alfred. Our ancestors were not always such rigid ob servers of strict justice as we generally give them credit for having been, for in one of the Cot tonian MSS. in the British Museum, is an ac count of some proceedings in a Parliament held at Leicester, in the reign of Henry V., concern ing reversing the attainder of the Earl of Salis bury, who, by an oversight of the Commons, was not tried till after his execution. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at half-past four o'clock to-day. Several private Bills were read a third time, and passed. The Fraudulent Bankrupts (Scotland) Bill, was read a first time. The Earl of INIALAIESBURY presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of land in two parishes in the County of Kent against any alteration of the Corn Laws. Lord SPENCER presented a similar petition from an individual engaged in the Flour Trade. The Bishop of CHESTER presented a Petition from the town of Warrington, against any further concession to the Catholics. The Earl of DARNLEY phi k entOd several petitions from the County of Kent against ta proposed alteration in the Corn Laws. The petitions were laid' on the table. - Lord ALTHORP and other Members of the House of Commons brought up several Private Bills. Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented a petition from the city of York in favour of Catholic Emancipation. The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from the Marchioness of Downshire, complaining that a Mr. Humphry had assumed the title of Earl of Stirling, and had, as such, voted at the last Election of Scotch Representatives, and praying that he might be prevented, by order of their Lordships, from voting at any future Election until he had fully proved his right to that title. The Isjoble Earl in moving that the petition be laid on the table, said, that as it was understood that the individual in question had sent a per son to America to collect evidence in support of his claim, the Noble Petitioner did not intend to press the complaint any further until the messenger should have time to return to this country. _ _ Lord LAUDERDALE said there was no precedent for such a petition as the present. Their Lordships had never prevented any individual from voting at the election of Scotch Peers, unless when his claim to the titles was ac tually pending before the House.—The petition was laid on the table. The Earl of STANHOPE presented a petition from the eastern part of Kent, against the proposed alteration in the Corn Laws. The Noble Lord presented a similar Petition from the County and Town of Bedford. The petitions were laid on the table. SIMONY RELIEF BILL. On the motion of the Archbishop of CANTERBTJRY, the Simony Relief Bill was read a third time and pissed. Lord GAGE presented a petition from the Hundred of Kingston in Sussex, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Lord LAUDERDALE complained of the absence of the Noble Secretary, under whose superintendence the present Corn Bill was in progress through the House, as he in tended to ask for some explanation with respect to a measure affecting very materially the operation of the present Bill. Notice had been given in the other House .that the measure would be introduced for the purpose of ,regulating the manner in which the Corn average shou,ld be taken.— Now, in the Noble Lord's opinion, it would be impossible to ascertain the effects of the new Bill, unless their Lord ships had before them all the details of the other measure. The averages might be taken -in fifty different. ways, e ach calctilated to pAluce a different result: In this state of uncertainty, he trusted that the second leading of the Bill would not be pressed on Friday, as it was very likely that their Lordships might change their opinion when they had an opportunity of examining the proposed measure for regulating the Averages. The Earl of HARROWBY said, that if his Noble Friend (Lord Goderich) had the slightest intimation of the Noble Baron's intention to ask the question, he would be in his place to answer it. Notice of motion had been given in the other House of such a measure as the Noble Lord had alluded ta, but still he diet not see why their Lord ships should not take the separate Bill now before them into their consideration, in the same manner as the other House had done. His Noble Friend would be in his place either to-morrow or on Friday, and would give every information on the subject. The Earl of MALMESBURY was also of opinion that the mode of taking the averages would have a most material effect in determining the probable consequences of the new Bill. It would be impossible to come to a deci sion on Friday, unless they were in full possession of the details of the other measure. The Marquis of SALISBURY said that an alteration had been slyly introduced into the Bill, as it now stood, and one which was very likely to have escaped ob servation. As the Bill first stood, the duty was to be paid on the corn, when taken out of bond for home consumption. It was now proposed to have it paid on the importation. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that the prin ciple of the measure might be discussed on Friday, and the details might be subsequently taken into consideration. The petition was ordered to be laid on the table, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16. The House met this evening at the usual hour. Admiral SOTHERON presented a report from the Committee appointed to inquire into the merits of the County of Limerick Election Petition. The Committee declared the sitting members (Messrs. Lloyd and Fitzgib bon) duly elected, and that the Petition was not frivolous nor vexatious. Mr. KENNEDY presented a petition from 8,000 in habitants of Edinburgh, on the subject of the Edinburgh Gaol Bill. They complained, that the system pursued in the Bridewell of that city, rendered it a nursery for crime rather than a House of Correction, and prayed that they might have some controul over the management of the establishment, or else be exempted from the burthens imposed by the bill. The petition was referred to the Committee on the bill. The SOLICITOR GENERAL gave notice, that on Wednesday next, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill, to prevent mesue process for debts under 201. Sir W. IIEATHCOTE presented a petition from Old ham, praying for the repeal of the Teat and Corporation Acts. Sir R. FERGUSSON presented a petition from Dun dee, praying the House to keep in view the protection of the Salmon Fisheries. Lord ALTHORP brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the County Election Poll Bill, and gave notice, that on Wednesday next lie would move for leave to bring in a Bill founded on the Report. Mr. SPRING RICE brought up the Report on the Irish Church Rates' Bill. Mr. PORTMAN presented a petition from Poole, in Dorset, praying for the repeal of the Test Art. Lord CLIFTON presented a petition from Gravesend, praying to be heard by Counsel against certain parts of the Alehouse Licensing Bill. Mr. J. WOOD presented a petition from the Weavers of Preston, praying for the total repeal of the Corn Laws. PRIVATE BILLS. Mr. LYTTLETON rose, according to notice, to move for a Committee to inquire into the costs, charges, and fees, of introducing. Bills for Turnpike Trusts, &c. . The Hon. Gentleman contended that the question was one of great importance—that the grievance was one of a very serious character—and that some steps ought to be taken by the House for applying a remedy. After a few observations from Sir C. BURRELL, Lord Lownnta, and other Members, the motion was agreed to. THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. Mr. BEAUMONT said, that as a general feeling pre vailed out of doors that some new Ministerial arrangements had been made, or were in contemplation, he should post pone the motion of which he had given notice for to-mor row (Thursday) to Tuesday next.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BROUGHAM said, that an Hon. Friend of his (Mr. Davenport) had consented to postpone a very im portant motion, which stood for to-morrow night, for the purpose of giving precedence to the motion of the Hon. Member for Stafford, and beput it to the Hon. Gen tleman. whether it was fair or manly to those who were Members of the Administration, or who were about - to accede to it, thus to postpone his motion. Mr. BEAUMONT thought he had sufficiently explained the motives which induced him to change his intention, and nothing that had fallen from the Hon. and Learned Gent. (Mr. Brougham) had altered his views on the subject. GAME LAWS. I . Mr. R. WOOD moved for leave to bring in a Bill to suspt4 the Law for prohibiting the sale of-Game for two years. Sir J. SHELLEY thought of all the bad laws which had ever been proposed on the subject of the Game Laws, that now introduced was the worst. Lord MILTON thought the only objection to the pro posed measure, was its being only of temporary duration. After a few observations from Mr. LYTTLETON and Mr. PORTMAN, leave was given to bring in the. Bill. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, and 3,0001. was voted to the Judges of the Prero gative Court in Ireland. The House then resumed and the Committee asked leave to sit again on Friday next. The House then adjourned at a quarter before Six. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. PIGEON SHOOTING. GRAND MATCHES AT HOUNSLOW HEATH.-Captain Welch, of the Hussars, and Captain Ross, of the Red House Club, at double shots at 20 yards, for 100 sovs., was won in a masterly stile by Captain Welch, killing fre quently in the course of the shooting both birds with his first barrel—a circumstance rather attributable to the ur banic disposition of the pigeons, though Capt. W.'s de cided quickness in shootino; appeared to claim this novel slaughter. . SECOND MATcu..—Capt. Ross and Capt. Welch, single birds, at 25 yards, was won by Captain Ross, though we must still admire Captain W.'s stile of shooting, he using his double game gun against a large single gun of Capt. R.'s, celebrated by that " Nimrod of the Trigger," G. Os baldeston, Esq., whose previous feats with this destructive implement had raised its fame to a "ne phis ultra." Two other matches at double shots, at twenty yards, between G. Osbaldeston, Esq. and Captain Welch ; both terminated in favour of Mr. Osbaldeston, killing all his birds but one. _ We cannot conclude our remarks without giving that due merit to Capt. Welch's sportsman-like quick style of )3hooting,'and we make no doubt he will prove a very for midable antagonist. We had only to regret during the S port an interruption, as we understood, at the instance of 'Sir Willoughby Gordon, the Quartermaster-General. The shooting having commenced on the Heath, in consequence of some previous rural sports having taken place there, the keeper of the ground had instructions not to allow any other than " Martial performances," which terminated in the adivprent of the sport to a neighbouring inclocure. THi RED HOUSE CLUB.—Several Sweepstakes were shot on Tuesday:—let, At six birds each, in six traps, at 21 yards, Messrs. Ross, Osbaldeston, and Shoubridge, was won .by Mr. Osbaldeston killing four birds out of six. 2d, At six birds each, in six traps, at 21 yards, Hon. Twisselton Finnes, Messrs. Dowbiggen and Chinnery, was won by Mr. Dowbiggen killing four birds out of five.— Messrs. Ross, Osbaldeston, and Shoubridge, shot two other swe epstakes, which were wcsa by Captain Ross. Mr. Chinnery also won a sweepstakes. DREADFUL DISTRESS IN TRADE.-Ours is a nation 'of barter and benevolence—in cheating and charity we surpass all other people of the earth. It is ad mirable. to) obseive the union of philanthropy and profit among us. We can break our hearts at a bankrupt's fall, and make excellent bargains at the sale. An advertise ment fabeicated for the English market appears in the newspapersA which moves the mind to benevolence, and bargains with irresistible power. How skilfully we are at first shocked at the appalling' distress, then soothed and consoled by the idea of Irish linens, for shirts, at Is. 94. per yard ; and silk handkerchiefs, with which to wipe our tears of sympathy, at is. 6d. each. Imagine Mrs. Bantem returning with muff and pockets stuffed from this sale, and communicating her joy at the cheapness of her purchases, mingled with her horror at the cause. " Oh ! my (Tear Tattle, dreadful doings—nineteen whole sale linen-drapers bankrupts, and seven absconded ! Ter rible times ! Think of their poor families ! Things went shockingly cheap. Look at this beautiful flannel for my under petticoats; would ye believe it, it stands me in only a shilling a yard! And this sarsnet, ma'am, two and sixpence! Lovely, is it not? But to think of seven bank rupts absconded ! I'm sure it breaks my heart [sheds a flood of tears]. You see this handkerchief ; if you'll take my word for it, I bought it for three and sixpence—real India." Well, as dear Mr. Squintem says, it's wonderful how things accom.nodate themselves to our necessities in this vile, sinful world. If seven bankrupt linen-drapers abscond, and we weep for the Dreadful Distress in Trade, advertised in the newspapers, why their handker chiefs, you see, go the cheaper, and serve to wipe our eyes. —" Providence tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," and bandanas fall with tears !—" Mind you go to the sale to mol, Mrs. Tattle. Such an opportunity, you know, may ver occur again. Nineteen bankrupts ! Horrible times indeed ; and such beautiful gros de Naples at two and sixpence a yard—the distress is dreadful to think of— it will make up into lovely spencers."—London Mag. In this situation, we sat together for upwards of two hours, until at length Witteboy made his appear ance, leading the old horse that we had left some miles be hind he preceding night, but without any game. He ini i med: dy entered into conversation with the Korannas ; but Id learn from them only the details of their own miserable situation. On account of the long continued drought, the wild game had almost entirely deserted this quarter of the country; the bulbs, also, had disappeared, and they Were reduced to famine. Jacob soon after re turning with`the horses, we saddled up about nine o'clock, and left these poor Korannas and the " Camel's Mouth," filing away in a melancholy train down the dry channel of the river. After about an hour's ride, we came to a spot marked with the recent foot paths of the natives, and, looking around us, we saw two human beings seated at a little distance under a mimosa. On approaching them, a pic ture of misery presented itself, snch as my eyes had never before witnessed. Two Koranna women were sitting on the ground entirely naked; their eyes were fixed upon the earth, and when we addressed them, one of them muttered some words in reply, but looked not up at us. Their bo dies were wasted by famine to mere skin and bone. One of them was far advanced in years; the other was rather a young woman, but a cripple. An infant lay in her naked lap, wasted like herself to a skeleton, which every now and then applied its little mouth alternately to the shrivelled breasts of its dying mother. Before them stood a wooden vessel, containing merely a few spoonfuls of muddy water. By degrees the Hottentots obtained for me an explanation of this melancholy scene. These three unfortunate beings had been thus left to perish by their relatives when famine pressed sore upon the horde, because they were helpless,, and unable to provide for themselves. A pot of water had been left with them ; and on this, and a little gum, they had been for a number of days eking out a-miserable exist ence. It seemed wonderful that they had so long escaped falling a prey to the wild beasts ; but it was evident that one or two days more of famine would be- sufficient to re lease them from all their earthly sufferings.— Thompson's South Africa. by the freemen and other inhabitants of the town of DOVER, assembled in their Common-hall, on the recent changes which have taken place.

It will be in the recollection of our readers that, amongst the first warlike steps taken by King Fer dinand, after he had known of our determinat►on to prevent him from molesting Portugal, was a mili tary expedition to the Canary Islands, where it could by no possibility be wanted, except on the supposition that Spain had predetermined to go on with.her aggression, reckless of the certain conse quence—war with England. The very first advice of the arrival of that armament, commanded by General Morales, of Colombian notoriety, is stated as follows, in letters from Teneriffe of the 15th April : " The 7th regiment, of Albuera, arrived from Ceuta at Teneriffe, revolted on the 4th of April, demanding arrears of pay, which could not be complied with, as the treasury was empty. Much consternation prevailed throughout the Island as to the result of the mutiny. Twelve hundred men with arms in their hands, and without food, was a frightful spectacle. It was thought that the local authori ties must have recourse to forced contributions." - vv It was currently reported, and believed at Tene riffe, that the Island would soon be in the occupation of French troops, instructions having been received by the French Consul from his Government pre paratory to that measure. The British merchants were under great uneasiness as to the security of their property.—Morning Chronicle.

Public Meeting was held yesterday at the City of Lon don Tavern, for the purpose of making known the present state of the Hospital ; which, in con sequence of the numerous claims upon the be nevolence of the Institution, for several years last, and the consequent increase of its expences, was under the necessity either of limiting its use fulness, or calling upon the public for assistance. The Lord Mayor took the Chair, and was sup ported by the Bishop of Chester, Lord 13exley, Dr. Birkbeck, &c. who respectively urged the consideration of the necessities of the Institution, and the claims it had for public support; and it was resolved that the London Bankers be requested to receive donations in favour of the laudable objects of the Institution.

" PERA, FEB. 8, 1827.—Gentlemen,—In the month of May, last year, you transmitted to me a dispatch, signed by the President, and one hundred and ten Members, of the Assembly, at Epidaurus, who called themselves the legitimate depositories of the powers of the-Greek nation, united with the Military Chiefs and the Clergy, in which the medi ation of my Government was asked, to put 'an end to the present war; and I was authorised in it, to ne gociate and treat, to obtain the peace that was-desired. " I was informed, at the same 'tittle, .that your Committee was ordered to correspond with me, in order to deliberate on the means of obtiining this pacification, and to draw up (taking your resolutions as the basis) the treaty which my efforts tend to conclude. " I have since bad the pleasure to inform you, that my Government has acceded to your proposal, and has desired me to present to the Divan, the fundamental points of agreement which you have communicated to me. I, at the same time, let you know the reason which obliged rue for the moment to defer the execution of these orders. I am, now able to announce to you, that the difficulties which previously existed, being reMoved, the offer of the ,nediation of my Government, founded on your de mands, and supported by other Powers in alliance with my Sovereign, will be immediately commu nicated to the Divan. " You will not expect me to guarantee the effect of this step, nor will you forget the amicable con duct which my character and the relations existing by treaty,, between my Government and the Porte, make it my duty to observe, till I am able, Gentle men, to let you know the result of my overtures. I depend on your noble sentiments, and on the fidelity with which you will fulfil your promise, and which is an essential condition of the mediation which you have desired. " I have the honour to renew the assurance of my personal esteem, " STRATFORD CANNING." The communication of this letter, the genuineness of which is not doubted, has excited here, and, as we are informed, in Greece, where it has been made known, singular sensations; and, on the whole, has !lot contributed to animate the courage of the Greeks, and their hopes of the diplomatic assistance of England. (From the Quotidienne.) [PRIVATE CORREsPoNDENcF..I MADRID, MAY 3.—Our Government has received lispatches from the Captain-General of Estrema lura, dated from Badajos. Very important events tre on the eve, says he, of occurring on the theatre of Portugal, There is talk of an insurrection which has broke out in the province of Alentejo, on the frontiers. The details which are circulated on the subject, leave no doubt on our minds of the spirit that, actuates the Portuguese. It is added that San Juan, the Captain-General of Estremadura, has re ceived a deputation, consisting of the principal inha bitants of the Province, calling on him to appear on the Portuguese territory, where the Spanish soldiers will be welcomed as deliverers • these reports have produced a lively sensation in Madrid. (From the Constitutionnel.) (EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) LISBON ' MAY 2.—lt is stated that a few hours after the landing of the Councillor Abrantes , the Deputy Mousinho da Silveira went to visit Sir Wil ham A'Court, in order to inform him of an arrival, of which he was then ignorant, and to give him some information touching the despatches of which Abrantes was the bearer. The British Diplomatist, forgetting his habitual diplomatic reserve, in the first moment of surprise, had not presence of mind suffi cient to master his feelings of uneasiness, and cried out, " Don Pedro does not rule here." It is said he afterwards attempted. to explain away the ex pression by - his discourse;. but the words were gone forth, and - served to recall an analagous accident which, in the month of January, 1825, happened to Prince_Metternich at Venice, when he received un expectedly the first intelligence of the recognition of South American independence, by Great Britain. Et is, at least, certain that the Ambassador, after the conversation, went directly to the Princess Regent, at the Palace of Ajuda, where, however, he had been anticipated by M. d'Almeida. (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) MADRID, MAY 3.—Some important diplomatic notes arrived on the 30th of April, to the Ministers of France and England. They were brought by two couriers, who arrived within four hours of each other. These notes have been communicated by M. Beaurepaire, and by Mr. Lamb, separately, to M. Salmond, who went immediately to communi cate them to the King at an early hour on the morn ing of the Ist. On the 2d a Council of Ministers took place, at which his Majesty presided. The result of these notes is, that, by virtue of a treaty concluded between Russia, Prussia, Austria, France, and England, the two latter powers are left arbiters of the Peninsula, and even should differences of opinion arise between France sad' England, the three first powers would leave them to settle them Alone, and they have also engaged to give support neither to Spain nor to Portugal, and to fortify, by their appioliation and recognition, whatever France and England may determine respecting them....

The Spanish General approached Sir William, and politely requested him not to pass the"frontier. Sir William, with equal courtesy, answered, that he did not know that he was on the Spanish territory, and that he would draw back, which he immediately did. General Monet, meanwhile, informed General Sarsfield, the Commander-in-Chief, of what had happened. The latter thought- that he ought not to be satisfied with the answer Of . 'Sir William, and sent a flag of truce to r _deraind . 'further satisfac tion. That General ;itriswered, that he !- ? , t i none to offer, but ,what lie had stated to General Monet. Gen. Sarsfield immediately ordered Gen, Monet to push forward into the Portuguese terri tory, with from 1,500 to 1,800 troops, and swift, pieces of cannon. General Monet obeyed, although reluctantly ; he was met by General Lamb, who charged him with two regiments of cavalry, killed 17 of his men, wounded 44, and made 50 prisoners, and forced the rest to retreat into Spain. The next day, after this ptty encounter, another, somewhat similar, took place in Gallicia, between Ttiy and Sal vatierra. A mass of some troops entered Gal licia, and levied some contributions, and then re treated. The inhabitants and volunteer Royalists, joined together, pursued the Portuguese, surrounded them, and took from them their plunder. Not con tent with that, they then entered Portugal, and committed as many excesses as had been committed against them, but the Portuguese having procured reinforcements, fell *on the Spaniards, beat them back; and took twenty-seven prisoners, whom they , carried off into'Portugal, and which have not yet re.. appeared.
