(14 *44 . : 14 , LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1834. The French papers of Wednesday are chiefly occupied with details and observations relative to LAFAYETTE, whose funeral was to take place yesterday. His remains were to be in terred in a private churchyard at Piepus, near to those of his late wife. The Chamber of Deputies had concluded the business before it on Tuesday, when they voted the Budget of Receipts, which gives the Exe cutive power to reduce, by royal ordinance, the import duties on some descriptions of foreign manufactures and produce during the proroga tion. The dissolution will probably take place at the next meeting of the Chambers. _ _ Algiers does not seem to be yet in peaceable possession of the French, and it is doubtful if It ever will be. The Government had better give up the idea of permanent possession—it will cost more than it ever can be worth. FRENCH FUNDS.—Pains, Mar 21. Five per Cents., liff. 10c sc. 1.6 f.

The Espoir brig of war, Lieutenant RILEY, arrived on the 11th at Falmouth, with de spatches from Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN, and mails. Coimbra was evacuated on the 7th, the gar rison marching out at 10 P.M. The Duke of TERCEIRA entered it with all his forces on the Bth, and was joined by RODIL and about three thousand troops. The united forces were received with the greatest enthusiasm. Repeated cheers and vistas for Donna MARIA 11., with other ex pressions of joy, sufficiently manifested the feeling of the inhabitants in favour of the new order of things. The north is nearly free of Miguelites, and the country tranquil, and in the south they were repulsed at Faro, with the loss of nearly four hundred men. The PEACEFUL ALLIANCE, and that speedy settlement of the affairs of the Peninsula which it is designed to produce, appear to have given great umbrage to the Courts of Vienna and Berlin, and the Prussian Ambassador has re ceived orders to quit Spain. The Augsburg Gazette regrets the dismissal of M. ZEA, whose possession of the Government was con sidered a sufficient guarantee for the mainte nance of Holy Alliance influence. We believe that ZEA was a tool of the Autocrat's, and it is well for Spain and the QUEEN that he has been dismissed, never, we hope, to return to power. The Russian EMPEROR has tools enough in the East, without having them also in the West of Europe. ZEA has, we pre sume, amply repaid the services rendered to him in his misfortunes by his old protector ; and Spain can well spare him for service nearer the residence of his own master. The Madrid Gazette, of the 14th, con tains a royal order, addressed to the Captain General of New Castile, announcing that the QUEEN REGENT had decided that the Cortes should be assembled on July 24, and directing him to prepare proper buildings for the sitting of the two Chambers. It also contains a royal order, addressed by the Minister of Justice to the Bishops of PAMPELUNA and CAL TORNA, whose dioceses are still the theatres of rebellion, interdicting them from appointing any prebendaries, or other ecclesiastics having the cure of souls, unless the candidates present certificates from the Royal Commissary, attesting their attachment to the cause of Donna ISABELLA 11. thereby wishing to put an end to the cruel evils caused by the guilty opposition of several of the ministers of religion. According to reports received by the Minister of War, all traces of MERINO have been lost. He is believed to be ill, and in concealment. Some circumstances had given rise to a suspicion that he had retired to the monastery of St. Jean d'Ortegor, but the most rigid search for him there has not produced any discovery. The Register Espagnola states that regular convoys of provisions, ammunition, and stores, are sent from Ciudad Rodrigo to the Spanish troops in Portugal. The army is also abundantly supplied, and there is nothing to impede . its , operations. A detachment of the new gendarmerie has just brought into Madrid the equipages of Don CARLOS, which were captured in Por tugal. The Minister of War is occupied in preparing a system of primary instruction in the several regiments ; and it is already being tried in those which form the garrison of Madrid. The debate on Mr. Bur. wER's motion for a repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers is, on the whole, satisfactory, inasmuch as the declarations of Lord ALTHORP that he is personally in favour of such a step, and that he only hesitates on account of the revenue, are the best indications of the intentions of the government greatly to reduce the duty, if not to do away with it. entirely. There is little doubt that the duty will be reduced to at least half its present amount, and that at no distant period. We are well convinced that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER means to do what is right, and are quite willing to give him time, in the confidence that a little further consideration and information will satisfy him that the revenue would gain, and not lose, from a reduction of the duty. We rejoice to find that there remains little doubt of the success of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL at Edinburgh. Nothing has caused the triumph of the Tories in other places but the folly of the Radicals and the lukewarmness of the Dissen ters. We hope the Scots are too wise to fall into the traps of the Tories. The proposition to grant a sum of money out of the Consolidated Fund to support a par ticular publication (for that was the real object of the motion of last night), is the most bare faced attempt at imposition we ever remember. A work was undertaken by certain parties as a matter of speculation and profit, and now that it has failed of success, the proprietors, in order to remunerate themselves, come for ward on the plea of public utility, and call on the Government for support. Almost any other speculators might urge the same grounds for remuneration, and some of them, such as the speculators in rail-roads and canals, with much more propriety. The debates at present are given at a length sufficient for all useful purposes, and more than sufficient for the taste of the public. If persons having an interest in private bills, or in any business not generally interesting, wish to have a full re port of the proceedings, they, and not the public, should pay for the publication. 1 Many members, we believe, supported the mo tion last night from a belief that they would get their speeches published at full length in the newspapers, and that this beau-ideal of theirs, this record of parliamentary debates, would contain a correct and impartial report of the proceedings. They could not be more mis taken. Were the house to employ reporters, and give them the most favourable situation, with orders to report the proceedings at full length, and transmit them in slips to the dif ferent newspapers, all the long-winded speeches would be as little read by the public as at pre sent. This is on the supposition that they could find the proprietor of a newspaper so mad as to fill his columns with matter which could not interest one out of fifty of his readers. No human being, unless paid for it, would read them ; and in order to be consistent, the concocters of the plan should have moved for a grant of money, not only to pay the reporters, but also to be distributed in premiums to the most indefatigable readers of debates. Unless they accompanied the mea sure with some such provision, the public would know less than ever of the proceedings. The very length of the speeches, and particularly those be ginning with names we could mention, would frighten all ordinary readers, and in place of trying to find out the substance, as now pub lished in the newspapers, they would give up the task in despair. A full report of the de bates in Parliament would crush in three months the most influential paper in London. It is utterly absurd to imagine that such a system ever could succeed. Great stress has been laid on authentic reports, and no doubt they are of great importance, but the plan proposed would not remedy the alleged evils. Place reporters in the most favour able position, how could they give what Lord ALTHORP and some other members say, when even members within two feet of his lord ship have declared they did not hear a word he uttered ?—and what remedy is to be found for those calls of " Question," those groans and coughings, and strange noises, which invariably drown the voice of a troublesome and tedious speaker? The plans appear to us altogether chimerical. We have had some opportunities of judging of the ques tion, and we venture to say that the present system is the best that can be devised for mak ing the public acquainted with the proceedings of Parliament. There is a rivalry among the papers which induces them to give every thing of importance, and if more were given it would not be read. With k very few exceptions, the grumblers arc to be found among the tenth-rate speakers. They have the remedy in their own hands : let them speak short, and to the pur pose, and they will soon have no cause of com plaint. The journeymen tailors seem now fully aware of the ruinous consequences of the late strike, and of the folly, or rather wickedness, of those who instigated them to join in such a hopeless contest with the masters and the pub lic: Great numbers of them have already re turned to work on the former conditions. We believe a principal tailor at the West end has nearly his usual complement of men, and most of the other master tailors are making arrange ments for carrying on business at the old prices. The judicious and honest part of the public press warned the men of the ruinous course they were pursuing, but, unfortunately they listened more to the suggestions of selfish and theoretical ad ♦enturers than to the sound and impartial advice of friends. And what has been the result ? They have caused a serious injury to the mas ter tailors and drapers,—they have injured to a vast extent the trade of the country, but they have inflicted a still greater injury on them selves. They have nearly exhausted their common stock of money, which they ought to have reserved for charitable and legitimate purposes—they have convinced the masters that a great part of the work can be done by fe males, and, consequently, deprived themselves of that command of the market which they pre viously possessed—they have excited a bad feeling against themselves throughout the country, and, independently of the loss to their families, many of them have acquired habits of idleness and dissipation which they may have cause to regret for life. The scheme appeared to us from the beginning not only visionary but ruinous, and we gave our candid opinion on it uninfluenced by either party. Had the men asked what was reasonable, the press would have joined with them, in place of against them. We admit they have grievances, and now is the time for the masters to redress them. If the masters take steps to render the workshops more healthy in place of putting a hundred men together in one ill-ventilated room, and remove all just causes of complaint, they will obtain another claim to the approbation of the public. Since writing the above we are glad to learn that the journeymen have resolved to return to their work on Monday next. We congratulate them on their wise determination ; and we hope the masters will use their triumph modestly by conciliatory conduct, and oblivion of the past. Mutual concession cannot hut be beneficial to both parties, and be more satisfactory to the public at large, who have a deep interest in holding the balance of justice equal, and seeing fair play between master and man. Our attention has been called to the Artists' General Benevolent Institution, the nineteenth anniversary of which is appointed to be held to-morrow, at Freemasons' Hall. Of all the charitable institutions for which this country is, and ever has been, remarkable, we know of none more deserving of public encouragement than this, for the relief of decayed artists, their widows and orphans. Artists, like actors, are a class of men peculiarly dependant on the ca prices of fashion ; and being usually endowed with keen sensibilities—too keen perhaps to enable them to brave the " slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," or to " take arms against a ma of troubles,"—are apt to sink under diffi culties which more sturdy natures would over come.

The election of twelve vestrymen for this parish, in the place of the same number who retire, concluded at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, but being by ballot, the time occupied in ascertaining the result prevented any announce ment being made until this morning. The election took place under Sir John Hobhouse's Bill, which requires that one-third of the vestrymen of longest standing shall retire each year. This being the third year of the adoption of the provisions of that bill by the parish, it follows, that the twelve who now retired formed the last remnant of the old select. Great exertions were made by the aristocracy of the parish to regain their influence, but the subjoined list will show they were completely discomfited by the Parochial Association. Mr. Fisher 1358 Mr. Stark Mr. Arm itt Mr. Bidgood 1339 Mr. Drake Mr. Staunton Mr. Chappell... Mr. Perkins Bl5 Mr. Comley The above twelve being the highest on the ballot were declared to be duly returned. All of them belonged to the " blue," or parochial association list, but the first five had also the advantage of aristocratic support, which is the cause of their standing thus high. The total number of parishioners who voted was 1,445, out of a constituency of about 2,000, being 300 more than voted last year. The following are the rejected candidates : Lord King J. H. Powell, Esq. ... 645 Hon. Wm. Ponsonby 630 Mr. Gibbs Mr. Nicholl 631 . 804 , The excitement in the pan and since the result has bee, ish, both during the election :ome known, is astonishingly great. DUBLIN, MAY 21. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. ). Colonel Bernard, who for a long time represented the King's County, died yesterday in Sackville-street_it i s supposed from ossification of the heart. He contested the county with Lord Oxmantown at the last election. He was a man of large property, and much beloved. It ap pears there is not a doubt that O'Connell was offered the Roll's, which he refused. He will take nothing unless certain things are done for Ireland, and which it is thought will be effected. emers rt" S , OCICS THIS DAY AT ONE O ' CLUCK. Bank Stock 3 pm Cent.

THE COMMITTEE of MASTER TAILORS beg to inform the Trade that they have this day received reports from all quarters of the metropolis of the most gratifying description. They feel it «o be an imperative duty which they owe to themselves, the trade, and the public, to strongly impress on the mind of every Master Tailor the absolute ne cessity of requiring every person now in their respective employment, and every one who may be hereafter re ceived into their employment, to sign the following declara tion, which has this day been UNANIMOUSLY AGREED TO by this Committee:— " Me, the undersigned Foremen, Journeymen Tailors, and others, in the employment of do declare that we are not Members of the Trades' Union, that it is not our intention to become members of any such association, nor do we now, or will we in any way, directly or indi rectly, contribute towards the support of any such asso ciations ; in attestation of which, we hereunto subscribe our names this day of —, 1834." And this Committee unanimously recommend to the Trade to afford the utmost protection, kindness, and con sideration to those men who have been in their employ ment during the strike.

Our arrivals this morning are few in number, of which the Lisbon mail is the most important, brought by the Espoir brig of war, which sailed on the 11th inst., and from Oporto the 14th inst., bringing despatches from Lord Howard de Walden, our ambassador at Lisbon; also the confirmation of the evacuation of Coimbra and Fi gueiras : the former was taken possession of on the Bth inst. by the Duke of Terceira, and the latter by Admiral Napier. It also appears that the Spanish General Rodil, with his troops, had joined the Duke of Terceira in the south of Portugal. Bernardo da Sa was attacked by five thousand of Don Miguel's forces on the sth inst. at Faro, and, after a severe contest, the Miguelitesavere repulsed with the loss of 3 to 4,000 men. From Santarem we hear of no movement, which gives us suspicion that Don Miguel is assembling all his forces there ; and we shall soon hear of some desperate attempt of his to gain Elvas, as he is certainly superior in cavalry, by which means his infantry can make a good retreat to that fortress, where they can hold out for some months ; but, as he finds all his hopes lost of ever regaining the throne of Portugal, by the late treaty of France, England, and Spain, he will manceuvre to get the best terms for himself and officers, and give up the contest. The express from Paris is of minor importance, with the exception of an article in the Augsburg Gazette, stating that Russia and Austria disapprove of the late invasion of Portugal by the Spaniards. The various reports circulated at Paris respecting the health of our King, were for stockjobbing purposes. Consols opened at the price they left off at yesterday, 92 1 / 2 % for the Account, and for next time 93 to )4, with little doing as yet. Owing to the favourable accounts from Portugal, Por tuguese Stock reached 80; at present it is 79 %% ; Spa nish, 36% 3 / 4 . The County of Pembroke was lying in the Tagus, waiting to bring over the despatches and the treaty. HALF-PAST ONE. All the private letters received this morning from Lis bon confirm the intelligence already published in the morn ing journals; therefore we have nothing further to commu nicate at present. In consequence of the favourable accounts from the above quarter, some large purchases have been made in the Portuguese Stock. The private accounts from Spain has caused the He brew party also to purchase in Spanish Stock. Consols may be quoted at present 92% buyers. Spanish, 36% 3 / 4 ; Portuguese, 79 3 / 4 . It is just reported that the Bank is going to lend to the public half a million more on the security of consols. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols, 92%. To those who purpose assenting to the go vernment plan for the reduction of the four per cents. a positive advantage is to be gained by the following operation : £ s. d. 1001. 4 per cents, if assented, will pay in Oct. 2 0 0 in Jan. 0 17 6 2 17 6 1001. new 3% per cents. will pay in July ...

The change must be made by the 27th instant, as the 28th is the last day for dissenting. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Mr. MAC READY, we understand, takes his benefit at this theatre to-night, on which occasion he will perform the ar duous character of King Lear. Miss PHILLIPS will p l a y Cordelia ; and as the tragedy is throughout strongly cast, we have no doubt it will attract a full house. They write from Vienna that M. de Tatis cheff, the Russian Ambassador, is to go for three months to St. Petcrsburgh, and that the Poles must leave Switzerland. _ M. Ancillon, Minister for Foreign Affairs, has arrived at Berlin from Vienna. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) A MARRIAGE, A gentleman behind the bar begged permission to be heard upon a very pressing application, and which would only take a very few moments. He held the petition of a lady, who was waiting to be married. The LORD CHANcEr.Loa—Waiting—what ? The BA RRISTER--Waiting to be married, my lord. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Oh, then, of course, her pe tition can adroit of no delay. (Laughter. ) The BARRISTER observed, that the petition stated the lady was entitled, under the will of a gentleman, to 1,3931. Bank Three per Cent. Annuities, upon her attaining the age of 21 years, and a sum of cash in the Bank ; that she had become of age, and, to be married, was only waiting 'or his lordship's order directing the money to be paid to her, agreeable to the prayer of the petition. The facts were supported by affidavit ; and The COURT directed the order to go. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. %VAISH. The defendant, who was the part owner and master of a ship, had been convicted before a justice of the peace for having refused to deliver .up to an officer of the customs the ship's registry, when required to do so for the pu r p oses of the vessel. On a former occasion an application had been made to this Court, on the part of the defendant, to quash the conviction on the ground of informality. Mr. Hoootrrs this morning showed cause against the rule, and contended upon various authorities that the con viction was good. Mr. HOLT, in support of the rule, contended that the conviction was informal in several material points. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the conviction could not be sustained, for it ought to appear on the face of the conviction what was the purpose for which the registry was demanded, in order that the Court should judge whether it was a lawful and necessary purpose, and also what officer made the demand. The other Judges concurring, the conviction was or dered to be quashed. Mr. Hoc cuis hoped that their lordships, on quashing the conviction, would order that no action should be brought against the magistrate, who, although he had com mitted an error, had acted in perfect good faith. The COURT declined to make any order upon that point. THE KING V. GOODMAN. Sir JAMES SCARLETT moved for a mandamus, com manding the defendant, Mr. George Goodman, who was the deacon of a baptist chapel at Henley-in-Arden, to re store Mr. Thomas Killingworth to the office of pastor to that chapel. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE asked who preached in the chapel now ? Sir JAMES SCARLETT said no one, for the chapel was at present shut up. The Court, after looking into authorities, and finding they had the jurisdiction in cases of endowed chapels (and not in mere voluntary congregations), granted the rule. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of most descriptions of Grain this week are tolerably good. The Wheat trade is not lively, and Mon day's terms are scarcely supported even for superfine.

About 2,500 hhds were disposed of, which includes two public sales of Barbadoes, which went off flat. The price of good brown Jamaica is 495, at which some business was done. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—No great alteration has taken place in Mauritius. On Friday the sales went off briskly, but during the present week less firmness has been dis played, and but a small portion of goods fetched former quotations, the other portion being withdrawn. The amount brought forward since Thursday is 10,513 bags. Low to good middling greyish yellow is firm at 49s to 535, and very low fine brown 445. to 495. Nothing has been done in foreign beyond a sale of 956 baskets of Java, about one-third of which was disposed of at a decline of 6d to ls, the remainder was bought in at higher quota tions. Low mid. greyish yellow, fetched 23s to 23s 6d. Dull mid. grey 23s 6d ; and soft fine coloury grey 24s ; the washed sorts 22s 6d to 235. FOREIGN SUGAR.—But one inconsiderable sale was done yesterday, consisting of 140 boxes white, and 260 boxes yellow Havannah, fetching good prices : low to good yellow 24s 6d to 25s 6d; mid. to good strong white 29s 6d to 30s 6d. COFFEE.—The market for British Plantation was firmer up to yesterday, which were fully supported, but with a dull sale- -a sale of 160 casks being almost entirely bought in. 595 casks Jamaica, and 144 barrels and bags of De merara were brought to market; the fine mid. Jamaica fetched 88s; fine ordinary to best coloury mid. 69s to 74s 6d ; fine ordinary unclean 60s ; and fine ordinary to low mid. Demerara 58s 6d to 60s 6d. The quotations of East Indian and Foreign Coffees are lower, through the late accounts from the continent ; of the latter sorts'fio public sales were offered, but privately business has been doing at is 6d discount. 200 bags of good ordinary c oloury to fine ordinary St. 'Domingo were sold at from 52s to u f m 52s 6d and 100 bags of good to g ood ordinar y coloury 'Brazils from 52s to 54 5.

RUM.—But little is doing i n thi s ar ti c l e. L eewar d s, growing irre lation is active in Hops of last year's growth, at prices in some instances full 255. per cwt. higher. WOOL.—There have been some arrivals of the new clip at the out-ports from our Colonies. The trade in Wool is much checked by the stop put to the mills by the move ments of the trades' unions, and the continuance of the strike among the operative tailors. SALES THIS MORNING.
