" Geo rge Brummell, who was always oracular in what appertained te becoming dress, was not singular in his opinion, that no part of the wardrobe more strongly indicated the gentleman than his hat. I have known a man, of the old school, who wolf(' rather have been out at elbows, than have wanted that finish to the appearance which a good hat, well put on, uniformly affords. Nor has any part of our manufactures been more decidedly improved, of late years, than the hat. What hours of misery have I net endured, merely from the tightness and weight of a hat. Being particularly subject to headache, from any pressure or constraint of the forehead and temples, I have been far from inattentive to all professed improvements of that article, but I have never yet met witk the equal of COVINTON'S SHORT NAPPED BEAVER. Its durability is without precedent, it retains its shape to the last, in spite of weather, and is waterproof; it is as light as a feather, and so elastic as to adapt itself most com fortably to the wearer's head.".—Vide Stockdale's Budget, No. 21.

MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS, lIVIThun, Glasgow, pp. 291.-1827. A very ably written and carefully digested volume, embodying most of the opinions on either side the question, as to whether Mary was privy to the murder of Darnley or not, and ren dering apparently but common justice, while it defends with energy the character of the lovely and unfortunate Queen of Scotland. The subject is too hacknied to admit of de tails ; we may state, however, in general terms, that the present historiette imparts fresh interest to a threadbare and worn-out topic. THE SCOTS' WORTHIES, APPLuo, Glasgow, pp. 597.-1827. This is a brief historical account of the most eminent Scots' Worthies, who testified or suf fered for the cause of Reformation in Scotland, from the beginning of the 16th century to the year 1688. If, however, the reader, ( judging from the title) expects any thing like " Fuller's English Worthies," he will be altogether disappointed, as the present volume does not bear the slightest resemblance to that quaint, witty, old fashioned, but highly poetic and entertaining work. It is merely a dull prosing sketch of some of those eminent Sectarians who figured in the wars of the Reformation, penned by a writer, who evi dently thought he was depicting perfection. Among the number of these " Worthies," we find John Marquis of Argyle, a name, which will, no doubt, instantly recal the recollection of Sir Walter Scott's Legend of Montrose. But there, it seems, he was maligned ; here he is be praised ; let us then strike the balance, and it will leave him a public character just two degrees removed from absolute mediocrity. The volume possesses no great powers of entertainment ; it is however, worm perusal. INFANT SCHOOL SOCIETY. A mooting of the friends of the above Charity took place yesterday, at the Freemason.' Tavern, Great Queen-street. A very limited number of persons were assembled at one o'clock, when the Earl of Clarendon took the chair. The report of the proceedings of the institution was read, by which it appeared that 200 additional schools had been founded since the last meeting. The Committee expressed their satisfaction at having met with a cordial co-operati'm in Ireland, where the formation of infant schools was likely to be attended with the most beneficial results. Lord CALTHOIMI then addressed the meeting, and in moving that the report be printed, took occasion to ex press his unmixed satisfaction at the gratifying information it conveyed. Mr. MONTACIUZ Boni:writs also addressed the meeting at some length ; after which thanks were voted to the Noble Chairman, and the company departed. THE MARKETS. SOUTHALL MARKET.—June 20.

We cannot avoid mentioning a very ludicrous blunder which was in our parer yesterday, in an article on the Bowery Theatre : namely, ' At this th ea t re, t h e d angers attract muc h atten t What the d angers are a t a th eatre so we ll manage d , n. and so liberally patronized, may no doubt have puzzled our readersr t o n find er out; however, had c been p r i n t e d instead f g (as written e in the M.S.), it would have made the word d da _a small diff erence i n d ee d !" of, s Tng NINETY-SECOND REGIMENT, OR GORDON HlGH!..twnras.—General Pack observing a solid column of 3000 infantry of the French Guard approach, and a sharp conflict ensue with part of our troops, ordered up the Highlanders—ca , lling out_ ,, Ninety-second—now is your time—charge.' The order was repeated by Major M'Donald, who took the command in consequence of the death of the brave Colonel Cameron—and was answered by his regiment with a shout. Reduced to 250, they in stantly formed—rushed to the front against a column equal in length to their whole line, which was only two men in depth, while the column was ten or twelve. The enemy stood, as if in suspense, till the Highlanders approached, when panic struck they wheeled to the rear, and fled in the utmost confusion. Gen. Ponsonby, seizing on the mo ment, darted forward at full speed with the Greys, and when galloping past the Highlanders in pursuit of the enemy, there was a mutual cry of " Scotland for ever."-- When Bonaparte saw his best troops cut dow n , an d w hen he saw o ne o f hi s c h osen c olumns fly in terror and confu sion before so small a body of Highlanders, the feelings of a gallant soldier overcame his disappointment, and he is known to have exclaimed in admiration-4 , ii. brave' Ecossais !"

HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNI il The Royal Assent was given by commission to several private Bills. The Lords Commissioners were—the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Bexley. The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Woolsack at a quarter-past five o'clock. The Earl of MALMESBURY, in presenting a petition from Essex, against the importation of Foreign Wool, asked, whether, in the event of the importation being permitted, his Majesty's Ministers would consent to allow a drawback on the exportation of alI articles manufactured from Foreign Wool. The Noble Lord believed that suoh a regulation existed in France. Lord GODERICEI said that the question had been de liberately considered by the Government. At first he had been dispetz , -,1 to look on it with a very favourable eye; but, on . further consideration, its impracticability became evident. fe was foreseen that the adoption of any such regulation must lead to great evasion and considerable fraud. Indeed, the difficulty of ascertaining the quantity of foreign wool in manufactured articles was in itself enough to deter them from making the experiment. It was usual to mix Foreign with British Wool, and it would be a very difficult 'matter to discover how much of each was used ; there did exist a regulation in France, by which a draw back was allowed, but it was clogged by so many restric tions of an excessive onerous description, as made it quite inapplicable to this country. The Earl of MALMESBURY asked whether an ex periment might not be made for two or three years. The greater part of the exported article was of a coarser de scription, and manufactured from British Wool alone. Lord GODERICIL thought that such an experiment might give rise to false hopes, and tend to defraud the Revenue. The Marquis of SALISBURY trusted that something would be done to protect the British wool grower. The Earl of MALMESBURY 'reminded the Noble Viscount that tare loss to the Revenue, arising from the drawback, might he made up from the duty on corn, which, in effect, came from the pocket of the agriculturist. The Earl of DARNLEY wished that some pledge would be given to consider th. subject next Session. Lord GODERICH thought that all pledges of such a na ture ought to he evoided. Lord REDESD ALE felt satisfied that as lung as the law remained as it was respecting the wool, the price of eorn mast be increased. Sir A. GRANT and others brought up a Bill to consoli date the Boards of Stamps in Great Britain and Ireland , a Bill for bu:lding a new Jail in the Town of Cambridge ; a Bill to amend the Regulations respecting the conduct of Trustees of Charities, and one or two private Bibs. Mr. Titterer attended, to deliver ;a papers contain ing au account of the expenses incurred in redeeming the Land-Tax. A messenger delivered in an account of the expenditure of the Doer Harbour. APOTHECARIES' LAWS. Lord MELVILLE presented a petition from a highly respectable surgeon, which complained of the law as it existed in this Country re►pecting Apothecaries, and which prayed the House to alter it. By the existing law, no surgeon was allowed to practice as an Apothecary without a licence from the Apothecaries' Company, which the Noble Lo:;si considered loudly called fel. alteration. CORN AYLIIACEN BILL. Lord GODERICH in moving the second reading of this Bill, did not know that it was necessary for him to trouble the House by stating it in detail. Though the preparation of it had occupied several days, yet the pro visions of it were a mere re-enactment of the existing law. But as there were various amendments of that law, it was thought infinitely better to repeal the old law, and to re-enact all that was to be retained of it ; thereby to make one law of it, rather than to leave the matter to be fished out of it by two laws. The proposed alterations were not numerous, and the object was to give every additional facility that appeared practicable in taking the averages with the utmost possible correct ness. It might not be possible to provide against every ease in which fraud or error may be committed ; but he believed that the law now laid upon their Lord ships' table, provided as effectual remedies as any that could be conjectured by those who had turned their atten tion to the subject. He would not now enter into a full discussion of the clauses, inasmuch, as he thought that that would be much better to be gone into by the Committee; so he simply moved the second reading of the Bill. Lord FARNHAM said it was his intention to move the introduction of certain town' in Ireland and Scotland, to be added to the Bill; neither did he think that the clause which gave so much discretionary power to the King in Council was unobjectionable. The Earl of MALMESBURY did not rise to offer any objection to the second reading of the Bill ; but as he con sidered that this Bill mint form the machinery on which any other permanent measure would be formed, he was anxious to know why the principle of the Bill limited the averages to the maritime districts. The object, he con ceived, was to ascertain what value was received by the growers in the market ; he therefore wanted to know why the averages were limited only to the maritime die tricts. He would not go into the discussion of the question of the propriety of extending the provisions . of this Bill to Scotland and Ireland ; but for his part he did not e why the p or t of London should be in c l u d e d as one a o e fthe places from which the averages should he taken, a , it was evidently not a place where the price received by the grower could be ascertained. He should say that Uxbridge was the market for the corn-growers for the c ounty of Middlesex. The averages of the counties of Hertford and Nottingham, and all inland counties were not admitted into the calculation recognised by the Bill ; yet it was well known that the price of corn in inland counties was always lower to the grower. He should be extremely glad if the Noble Lord would explain the reason why this was adopted as a general system. He apprehended this was not a money Bill, and that it was, therefore, open to their Lordships to make such alterations as would mate rially affect what he considered would be injurious to the interests of the corn growers. Lord REDESDALE hoped that when the Bill was in the Committ ee , th e preamble which lie now object e d t o would be a lt ere d. b e lieved that the original reason o f Lord GODERICH b prevailed in pa r ti cu l ar dis tricts. Thi s p r i nc iple bad never been d e p ar t e d f rom, conferring th e p r i nc i p l e to the maritime districts was because the importati on was no t universally the same, but var i e d accordin g t o t h e pr i ces that nor was th e N o bl a Lord at this moment prepared to give any specific reason for departing from it. As to introducing the names of large towns, if thi. were in tended, with a view to lower the general average, he thought it would have quite the contrary effect. Lord MALMESBURY said his object was not to get the averages lower, but as near as possible the average of the pt ices that were obtained over the whole country. Lord ELLENBOROUGH considered the introduction of the Corn Bill more for the benefit of the consumer than the protection of the grower; and, therefore, be thought it of much more importance to ascertain the prices the consumer paid than what the grower got. I Lord BEXLEY had got the prices of some of the largest market inland towns, and could assure the House, that the average of those price' varied but little indeed from the prices of the maritime districts. The Earl of LAUDERDALE suggested that the average should still be taken at the maritime districts, so that the results might serve as a comparison with the general averages throughout the country. The Bill was then read a second time, without opposi tion, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Lord GODERICH moved that an bumble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he would be pleased to order that the Bth snd 9th report of the Comvnissionen appointed by his Majesty for inquiring into the state o' Education in Ireland, be laid before their Lordships. DISSENTERS' MARRIAGE DILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWN gave notice that would, to-morrow, move the second reading of the Di,- senters' Marriage Bill. The Earl of ELDON wished it to be distinctly under stood that, in assenting to the second reading of the Bill, h, did not thereby preclude himself from opposing it at any fu ture stage. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said that the Noble Earl would have a full opportunity of opposing the Bill on going into the Committee, in the course of next week.—Tilt House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TAURSDAY, JtiNr 21. At the sitting of the House this day, the Usher of the Black Rod entered, and announced that the attendance oi the Commons was required in the House of Lords. The Speaker and several of the Members present, ther adjourned to the Lords, and returned in a few minutes. when the Speaker announced that his Majesty'. assent bed been given by Royel Commission to the Bill for raising money for the current service of the year, and *evert.] private Bills. TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS. Amongst the petitions for the repeal of the above Acts, were two from Berwick-upon-Tweed, by Sir F. Blake from Bradford, by Mr. Marshall; and from Hatfield, Surrey, by Mr. Duncoru'm. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. Mr. W. MARSHALL presented a petition from the Sur geons of Leeds, complaining cf the practices of the Royal College of Surgeons. Mr. PENDARVES presented a petition from the Hun dred of Redwith, praying that the elective franchise might be transferred from Penryn to the neighbouring Hun. dreds. Mr. C. PALLMER presented a petition from the In habitants of the Parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, praying tha. Cat Parish might be included in the inquiry into the Me tropolitan Water Works. DUTY . ON INSURANCES. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from 500 Mercantile Houses in London, praying for a reduction , of the Duty on Ineuraucee. The Hon. Gentleman stated, that the amount of the duty was equal to 50 per cent. on the whole premium,.and that in consequence of this higl rate of duty, the amount of duty received yearly was di minishing. In the next Session of Parliament, it was his intention to bring the subject before the House in the for:r of a specific motion. After a few words from Mr. MARRIOTT in support of the petition, Mr. BRIGHT rose and expressed his hope that the sub ject would be taken up by his Majesty's Ministers during al. VP Mr. WARBURTON said that the evil would curs itself if the Government aid not look to it speedily ; for the end would be, that persons who possessed property would give up insuring in preference to.paying a premium, which ex ceeded double the risk. DISTRESS OF THE WORKING CLASSES. Mr. HUME presented a petition, signed by the Working Classes at a Public Meeting held in Bolton, Lancashire, complaining of distress, and attributing their grievances tr the misconduct of Government, supported by a cor rupt Parliament. The Honourable Member said, that though some expressions contained in the petition were not quite decorous, he agreed with it. general staterneats.— The petition complained of the large sums of public money, which went to the support of the aristocracy, and he (Mr. Hume) was so deeply impressed with the justice of this complaint, that he had no difficulty in asserting that the aristocracy received more from the country than they and all their connections paid towards the public revenie. The petition concluded by a prayer for reform. Upon the motion that the petition should be brought up, The SPEAKER said, he understood the Hon. Gen tleman had stated very conclusive reasons for the House rejecting the petition, which was addressed to "a eorrnpt house. Mr. HUME said that if the petitioners stated that the House was corrupt in reference to a particular measure, the Manchester massacre, be (Mr. Hume) did net hesitate t( say that on that occasion many Members acted on an fluence which was corrupt, but if it was meant that the Members were bought and sold with money, he admitted that was not the fact. No one appearing to second the petition it fell to th♦ ground without further discussion. Petitions against the Test and Corporation Acts wer( presented by Mr. S. Rtca, from a general meeting of the Unitarian Dissenters; by Sir J. WROTMLIT, from tht Protestant Dissenters of Wolverhampton ; and by Sir W. Wylis, from those of Wrexham. Mr. MABERLY presented the following petition from James Surrey, of York-house, Battersea, praying for per mission to grind foreign corn. The Hon. Member made som e observations on the subject, but they were inaudible i n the gallery, as well as the reply which Mr. Huskiason made to them ‘, To the Honourable House of Commons, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. lc The humble Petition of James Surrey, of York-house, Battersea. Your petitioner humbly prayeth, that your Honourabh House will either introduce a clause into the Corn Bill now pending in Parliament, or under the warehousing act, 03 otherwise, as the wisdom of your Honourable House may deem most expedient, to permit mills in the port of London and other places where corn is permitted to be bonded, foi the express purpose of receiving and grinding of foreigt corn, and exporting the flour, the produce of such corn, duty free ; but if taken for home consumption, then to pa) the same duty as foreign flour. " Your petitioner further stateth, that he is of opinion. that the introduction of such a clause would give additional employment to the various mechanics, millers, labourers, and shipping, which would be the means of enabling our merchants to supply flour to our West India Islands, rn: Aber of his Majesty's dominions, or any other places, on any emergency which may hereafter arise, at a cheaper rate, and of better quality, than could be supplied from any other part of Europe, or even from America ; the reasonable ex pectation of which, your petitioner hereby endeavours to show from the following statement, viz.:—. " If the average price of our markets he 581. per quar ter, the duty on the foreign wheat for home consumption, as proposed in the Bill now Finding in Parliament, would be 28s. 6d. per quarter ; therefore, the same corn without duty could be purchased in the London market at Ws. per quarter, to yield the same profit to the importer, which would enable the millers to produce flour therefrom at about 4e. 6d. per bushel, or 15s. 9d. per barrel of 1961b5., in reference to the present quality now in bond. There are now mills unemployed within the port of London, with sufficient machinery and power, equal to the grinding of 200,000 quarters of corn annually. And your petitioner will ever pray." Mr. MAXWELL presented a petition from certain I Weititie it Plying bite WIG *lki 11 4 4 flirk , • • tion of their wages. CATEOLIC CLAIMS. Mr. PEEL presented petitions agaii4 - 1 %dm' -Refen4, Catholie Claims, from a congregation of Profiaient Diarn« ters in Grove Chapel, Camberwell, froth the Archdsacontuiti-. Clergy of Huntingdon, from the Clergy of Lited2fulld, an& from the Archbishop and Clergy of Tuam. Mr. PEEL presented a petition from a Reman Catholic gentleman, named Wilson, who lives in Hanover-square. The petitioner is a Solicitor, and applied to be admitted as a master extraordinary in the Court of Chancery, but he could not pass, as the Act of 1791 did not by any means remove the restriction imposed by the Act of King William on Roman Catholics to tale the Oath of Supremacy, ant be now prayed the Haase to remove this restriction. Sir C. BURRELL presented a pe6tion from the occu piers of land in the pariah of Shipley, in Sussex, relating to the Corn Law,. LANDED PROPERTY IN INDIA. Mr. FERGUSON rose for the purpose of moving for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the law respecting landed property in the possession of British subjects in the East Indies, and ether matters within the jurisdiction of hie Majesty's Courts established within the territories subject to the East India Company. As the law at present stood, landed property in the hands of executors or trustees in India, was not liable to the simple contract debts of the party to whom it bad belonged. The law with respect to such property in India was, he believed, little understood, and therefore he begged the attention of the House while he shnrtly explained the nature of his motion. —(Cries of " Bar, Bar.")—[The noise beloW the Bar was at this time very great]—which involved a subject which was considered of the greatest importance in India. Doubt. were entertained in the Supreme Courts at Bengal, as to the law upon this subject—one of the Judges holding that such property was liable to the payment of simple contract debts ; and others maintaining the contrary opinions. The House was not, perhaps, aware that there were millions sterling in India, waiting the decision of this important question, and that there was not a house nor an acre of land in India, the title to which would not be shaken, if the decision of the Chief Justin was to be persevered in and acted upon. He now wished to call the attention of the House to another matter, which he conceived to be of great importance—he meant the jurisdiction of the Com pany from the Cape of Good Hope to the Straits of Magel lan. By the first Charter of the Indian Government, the Governor and Council were the Judges of Oyer and Ter miner at Madaae, Calcutta, Bombay, and the adjacwe parts ; but afterwards, by the Charter, the jurisdiction was extended not only to Bengal, but from the Cape of Good. Hope to the Straits of Magellan. And by that law r British subject might be found guilty and executed, at Prince of Wales's Island, for an offence which would be looked upon and punished as a misdemeanour in Calcutta. (Hear, hear.)—There was another point, to which be thought it necessary to call the attention of the House, and. which was more necessary for the consideration of the Committee, namely, what was the meaning of the words " a British subject ?" At present those appointed on Juries in India and the adjacent countries were called " subjects of Great Britain," while the parties to be tried were called " subjects of the King." A large portion of the inhabitants of British India were of mixed blood—was the privilege of the Constitution to be ex tended to them ? As the law at present stood, a Christian, the son of an Englishman, born out of wedlock of a native woman, might be tried out of the boundaries of Calcutta, and put to death under the Mahornetan Law. His object was to establish an uniformity of law, so that every British subject might know the nature of the punishment attached to crime, in whatever Indian s district he might be placed. The Hon. Member concluded, by moving for the eppoiatment of a Select Committee to in quire into, and report to the House upon the state of landed and other property belonging to British subjects in India ; and whether such property being placed in the hands of Executors or Trustees, was liable to the payment of simple contract debts ; and also what parte of the British Statute Law of England ought to extend to British India. Mr. W. WYNN said, that at a period like the present, when we were at the very close of the Session, it was impos sible to expect any beneficial results from the appointment of such a Committee as that proposed by the Hon. Member. But his objection to the motion did not rest here ; he would have equally objected to it if it had been made at the be ginning instead of the close of the Session. With respect to landed property in India in the hands of trnsteea.or exe cutors being liable to the payment of simple contract debts, it appeared from the Hon. Member's statement that the , Chief Justice was of one opinioncand the two - Pniane Judges of another. If, however, any doubt should arise, an ap peal might be made to the Privy Council. Where appeal lay to Courts of Law, it was not right that that House should interfere. It was for Courts of Justice to decide what was the law with respect to landed property, and not for the House of Commons. He was anxious that the law should be uniform in the punishment of criminal cases in India, but no Parliamentary interference was necessary for that purpose. As to an extension of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Courts of Calcutta and Bombay, it was found almost impossible, owing to the expense and difficulty of bringing witnesses from the interior of the country. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by opposing the motion. Mr. FERGUSON, in reply, said that all he wanted was uniformity of decision, end to procure that, was not, he should imagine, a matter of very great difficulty. If the laws were altered, that alteration ought to be made in a Committee, or by Commission, where every necessary in formation might be obtained. There were now several gentlemen in this country who had been connected with the administration of law in India, and who would be ready to afford every assistance in their power upon the subject. He should at present submit to the difficulty which the Right Hon. Gentleman had referred to, and should with draw his motion, but he could not do so without declaring it to be his fixed intention to press the matter forward at every convenient opportunity, unless the administration of justice in India was made as pure and as perfect as at home. The motion was then withdrawn. NAVAL PROMOTIONS. Mr. HUME, in rising to call the attention of the House to the subject of Naval Promotions, of which he had given notice, declared his opinion that it was one of the utmost importance. On two former occasions when he had discussed the subject, he had entered so fully into its details, that it was unnecessary for him to repeat them now. He bed then felt it necessary to establish, in the most conclusive manner, the fact, that the Government granted these promotions more from family interest or Par liamentary influence, than for the good of the service or the advantage of the country, and that they were made in a manner which neither the interests of the first nor the state of the second could justify. Some excuses were then offered, but they were not sufficient, and the result was, that the country was shown not to have been placed in as good a situation as her circumstances required. On the 9th June,' 1922, he had submitted a motion to the House upon the state of promotions in the navy, and since then, a larger proportion of old officers had been promoted than during the same number of years before that period. He did not mean actually to say, that that alteration took place in consequence (Ibis motion, but he wild not avoid no ticing the fact, that since that time, the evils of which l• then complained, had been in some degree mitlgaied. Ile wished it to be understood that he was not an enemy to prom otion, fairly earned by servi ce , f or h e k new t h at men engaged in the navy did look forward to it as the reward of their labours and perils ; they had a right to do so, 1-4 it was proper they should be gratified ; but what he con tended against was the system of promoting young and in experienced men over the heads of old officers, merely be cause the former possessed family influence sufficient to recommend them. The promotions made in the navy ought to be proportioned to the state of the public finances, and should be regulated by the circumstances of the coun try. From the period of the close of the late French was, petitions had been constantly laid upon the table of alai. House, calling for a reduction of the public expences, and urging the Government to put the various public esta blishments upon the footing on which they were in the year 1702. He was certain that that could he done with great advantage to the country. Acting upon the prayers w hi c h had so often been addressed to them, the House h a d, in 1822, voted an Address to his Majesty, calling on him to reduce the public establishments as much as pos sible, and to diminish the amount of debt, and of the ex pences of the people. To that Address hie Majesty had been pleased to answer, that he would effect as many re ductions as possible. That Address had related to reduc tions net only in the Navy, but in the Army, and other branches of the public expenditure. He (Mr. Hume) should be warranted, both by the Address and the Answer, in saying that the Heine had not done its duty in carrying on a strict examination of the public expenditure in ac cordance with the Address they had voted. Although he should be perfectly justified in going into every item of the public expenditure, in order to follow up the spirit of that a nfine check him up s o el n f to that branch of it whi ch esp ec i a lly re l a t e d t o t h e N avy. r eq e uired, and he did no t t hink they would Address, he should powel; u n ob o fl t chd the Hou s e expendituresHo o , u sbeu to o s p h u o at i s i 8 1 t d uhc e heo circumstancee otl that atth was ebranchi nth country e of the act wisely if they separated without doing something of the kind. He should pray the House to agree to the Address ; FOR BOMBAY. TAE RECOVERY, 600 Tons; HENRY C. CHAPMAN, Commander.
