Prince George, Counsel were heard against the Bill for - the incorporation of that Company. Oh the questiOn whether the Counsel should be call ed in, there was 4"alvision. The numbers were, 30 for the motion, and q 0 against it. At nine . o'clock, the further hearing of Counsel was post poned tilt Monday. rn the House of Commons,the order'for the further consideration of the report on . the Irish Elective Franehise Bill was discharged , i n • , • conseqUence of the rejection of the Catholic Relief Bill in the Tipper House. A hope was expressed that the Elective Franchise Bill might be brought for ward again, as a substantive, and not an auxiliary measure. The Royal Message was afterwards considered in a Committee of the whole House. The proposed Grants were each for 6,0001. yearly. No objection was urged to the increase of the Duchess of Kent's income, which it was admitted on all hands was much too small; but some diversity of opinion was manifested with re gard to the Grant to the Duke of Cumberland. Mr. Gipps moved as an amendment, that it should be required that the Prince George should be educated in Great Britain. This amendment was negatived by a majority of 79 against 64. Mr. Secretary Canning and the Chancellor of the Exchequer both assured the House that the grant should be applied to the education of the young Prince in this country, and therefore the aritendment . could only have implied a reflection on the sincerity of his Majesty's Ministers, or the disposition of the Duke of Cumberland, to com ply with the wishes of the nation. The grant was carried by a majority of 105 against 55. THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers,)lay 28, 1825• , . [NEWTI'MTS.I In the house of LOrds last night, Lord Li verpool moved that an "Address should be pre- Sented to hi's - Majesty, to gran an annuity to the. Duchess of Kent,. of six thousand pounds per anifum, and th 6 like sum to the Duke of Cum tie.rland. Lard "DaruleY seconded the motion, and the Address 'was carried "Unanimously. A discussion arose 'upon . the Second reading'of the Equitable - Loaii - 13111, whether or not Counsel should be hearil agaiiisftlie Bill. Lord Lauder. dale ably advocated the necessity for admitting Counsel, which Was also contended for by the Lord Chancellor, who declared that otherwise he- would firmly oppose the Bill in every stage, and he expressed 'strongly his disapprobation of , the measure, which he as mischievous, and . containing many clauses altogether foolish and nugatory - . It was decided "by a majority, that Counsel should be heard. "In the House of Commons, Mr. Littleton stated his intention to abandon the ftirther'prOsecution of the Irish Elec. tive Franchise gill, in Consequence of the failure of the accompanying•meaSure.. The house went into a Committee On'thernotion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to take into consideration his :Majesty's Message. The speech delivered by Mr. Brougham in the' committee, exhibits even more than the wonted frankness of the Learned Gentleman. • • • [TUE PUBLIC LEDGER.] Last night we received Uamburgh Papers to the 21st instant. In an article.from St. Peters burgh, of the 7th, it is said that the Court will go in the Autumn to Moscow, and make a long stay in that city.. Whether this notice disguises any great political object, we know not; but every one knows that Moscow is several,hundred miles nearer than St. Petersburgh to Turkish frontiers. Whoever imagines that Russia has aban doned her favourite designs upon that Empire m en ., tertas strange idea's of that ambitious Power. By seeming to abandon them, she has shewn consum mate prudence, as she has by this means laid asleep thelears of those Powers, who : have the greatest interest, as well as the strongest inclination, to op pose their execution. But, with all her affected. forbearance, she has neysr laid aside her armour ; 'and; though she has recently renewed friendly relations With - Turkey, she has not reduced the number, nor altered the positions of the troops 'she had previously maintained in the immediate neighhoUrhood of that country. Even her re sumption Of diplomatic intercourse, though for ntally..announCed several months since, has the appearance of a farce ;- for ItibpaUpiere, whose appointment to the Embassy took place last year, has not yet set out for his destination. In the mean true, Chink after chink is displaying itself in the crazy edifice of , the Ottoman Empire ; and there is . scarce.a pr o vince on this side of the Bosphorus; in Which sYmptonis of defection are not visible, or at least signs of portentous apathy. The iisDrrettiO'n Of tite''Greeks has exposed the weakness, .and nearly exhausted the resources of the Porte. well organized revolt in the North—in SeiVia fur example, is only wanting to complete the work of example, ; and then a Russian .Amp Might occupy the capital in less lan six Iveeks. [THE TIMES.] The Royal message debated in the House of Commons last night is 'worth a serious notice. There is no objection to a provision for the - widow or daughter 0( the Duke of Kent, sup posing either of them' to be destitute : hut can such a case be conceivable ? Is there no such person as Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg exist ing, and no income drawn from the people of England paid to him ?—lavished upon him we might say—for it is no less than 50,0001. per annum: more than double the r,gular allowance assigned to any of. the late King of England's - younger sons, the Duke of York only excepted. We had heard - something offered in the way of apology for this German Prince,—of whose ties to this country, it seerns, , he ought to be remind ed (except, peiliapi, on quarter-day),--L-some thing of an 'apoSogy.that he took care to support his wid.owed sister, and educate the young Eng lish Princess, - her daughter, out of 'the enormous revenue receiv,e4 by him. Is the apology true or not true ? If not true,lhe oughtiong ago' to have given up half his 50.000 i. a-year; or at least ex pended half. of hilt -lingland. •I f true, then how comes it that the - Duchess of •Kent.ls compelled to sue in fOrnut pouperis to Parliament'?--But the Duke of Cumberland, and the young Cumber land with • Six 'Christian names !—(one good name, . hislßOYal. father ought to know, would be worth a thousand V--why should they pre tend to any =Mofe . - F e nglish money ?L-I . low - many heirs 'presumptive are we to be blessed or 'burdened with ? What are the claims of this Ikatfcli of the Royal Family, mea sured, as claims'in some cases ought to be, by merits ? The List 'is Surely rich enough. We protest against (14: . plan,' 'so ftequently re sorted to, for exciting public hatred, or worse_ than hatred, against members of his Majesty's. Royal House, bYaskinifOr them, at the hands of the nation, what the nation feels.s,ens t iPly'that it wouldAk.absurd to grant, and therefore that it is disgraceful to solicit. Nor do we think that, after the reception given to a certain branch of the Props - akin - 5,6f last night by the House of - Commons,. the parties who were more immedi ately interested in them will, if, ttley can help it, .corne amain.. [111011NI:4G HERALD.] The CathoilC Question (which, by the by, sounds in our ears like the eternal Der FICiS - chutziYseems-to us to have involved both its sup porterS and opponents in some degree of incon sistency. - Amor* the latter we may be allowed -to class the Lord Chancellor, who, in the late de bate,' is reported to have said that it was " a measure im *hid) the. Wformers and Revolu- LMORNING .CIIIIONICLE.3 We confess our loyalty is put to a severe tria by *hat . We every day see and hear. It is con teary to order to make any allusion in either Houses of Parliament to' the . sentiments of the Kl ug, on . any question under discussion ; and the reason for: : this is, that the Speakers should be free from . all external influence in deliver itig .their, sentiments. It does not follow, how ever, that, though the King's opinion must neye! be referrCd to in - Parliament, he should be inovin to the nation merely through his ser vants : —that, like the Dalai-Lama, he should never Open his' Mouth in public, or extend his functions beyond stretching himself occasionally, or putting, forth his hand,—that like the Kings of the, Franks, according to the oldest Annalist, he should merely eat, - and drink, and sleep, and remain shut up at home, except when brought out to bow on great days.—The Kin,.• of this country is not necessarily confined td this nega tive character. His Royal Highness the Duke of York, who ,now reigns by anticipation, has given a tolerably unequivocal indication of his determination to have a will of his own, should it, be. his fOrtune to till the Throne of these realms. But. here it is where our loyalty is ptit to trial. His Royal Highness Lwhatever his views may have been) ha's by the part he has taken, f i xed the eyes of the _whole nation on himself. lie has. thrown his Royal Brother quite into the shade.—What will the Duke of York do ? What his Royal HighneSs say ? T his is•the language one is doomed incessantly to hear.—it seenis.fd be taken for granted, that he may, have the King any_ day for the- whistling fOr, as the Cummon phrase is. Thus it is,_ that strength of determination and decisiiin have so Mach influence,over.mankind !—W,ith respect to hiS Royal. Highness's opinions, there exists no doubt ; the Public see : that he is not indifferent, n'o matter how Tie came" by them, and that he will never leave it questionable how he thinks on any matter. This. naturally inspires those who share his opinions, with a firm confidence in him. [I3IIITISII PRESS., Several Petitions were presented last night the House pf Lords for and against the Equitable Loan Bank., and after their Lordships had unit twee agreed to the provision recoMMended from the Throne for the Princess Alexandrian Highness's only provision hitherto had been 6,0001. a year, and that it was intended to propose an ad dition to the same amount both for her and the Duke, an unanimous and instantaneous assent was given to an Address expressing the cheerful concurrence of their Lordships in his Majesty's recommendation. In the Commons, although the only question was what reply should be returned to Royal Message, an attempt was made to enter into details and to cavil at particulars, which was ultimately frustrated by the representations of Mr. Secretary Peel, and the good sense o f the majority of the Assembly. Whatever re gulations may be considered expedient to secure the application df the new grant to education of the , young Prince of Cumberland, they are evidently matters to be introduced in a Bill, or examined in - a Committee. The House had nothing more to do last night than to admit the principle of augmentation, and to signify its , hearty recommendation from the Throne. This was ultimately done ; and there is no doubt that the country will unanimously sanc tion the vote of the Legislature. The Chancellor of the Exchequer having properly stated that the grant to the Duke of Cumberland was for the pur pose of educating his son in England, " on the score of morality, manners, Religion, and sound Constitutional plinciples, and that the addition was proposed oo the explicit understanding that the young Prince was to be brought up in this country," Mr. Hume, with his usual felicity and liberality wondered why 6,0001. a-year should be " wasted" on the education of a Prince who may possibly be one day the Sovereign of this empire " when just as good an education might be given him for 100/. a-year !1" The House laughed, and the Honourable Gentleman soon perceived that it was at his folly and nig gardliness ; for he grow positively ashamed of what he had said, and even ventured to deny his own words. But this was all in vain, for Mr. Secretary Peel kept him to his text, and subjected him most justly, and most effectually too, to the lash of his satire. " The Honourable Member had said that he could provide as good an education for one hundred pounds a year as any Prince of the House of Hanover need have. The fact was, that a College was about to be instituted in London, which he understood was chiefly for the instruction of the London me chanics, and here it was that the young Prince, according to the Hon. Member's notions, could pick up a good education, at a cheap rate." Au idea may be formed of the notions of justic enter tained by some of our law practitioners and would-be Judges, from the fact that an illus trious Individual, whose character. stands so justly high in the public estimation, who , has refrained from bringing his private embar rassments before the view of Parliament and ap plying for aid, was dragged iuto a question with which he, was .entirely unconnected, for what purpose is best known to the lion. Metnbers themselves. Well miglitllr.Secretary Canning ex press his indignation at such conduct; and cordially will the public partietpats with him in this cor 7 rect and generous feeling. The House next took 1 the Bill for en creasing the Salaries of the Judges into consideration. 'Those of the Chief Jus tices, as..originally.' proposed, were agreed to, after an Amendment moved by Mr. Scarlett, to advance the Salaries of the Chief Justice of the King's Bench, to 12,0001. instead of 10,0001. a year was rejected. The further consideration of the subject, was adjourned to Monday. Sow erropeous opinions respecting the amount of th e Lord Chanc'ellor's income met with due correc_ ion from those best acquainted with, the subject. COAL MA RKET, MAY 27. Ships at Market.

Indeed,, that the Reformers were not agreed among thernselvesabout it, is quite clear from 'the very opPosite sides which some of their most prominent Members took upon it in the House of Comm Ons. We should rather be inclined to say, .that instead of the Catholic Bill being a favourite with, the Reformers, that it is those who do not wish well to Monarchial Go :vernment who have been most opposed to. it, from the known and natural tendency of that re ligion to uphold that species of Government. In fact, history and experience have shown (and are at this. moment showing) that the Roman Catho lic Religion is, unfavourable to civil liberty, and has rarely flonrished under a free Government. And we rather suspect that Were Lord Eldon to inquire, be would not be very proud of being now politically associated with some of those very persons whose petitions he himself has presented to the notise.' What (Foes the Learned Lord, and what do Lord Liverpool and Mr. Peel think, for instance"; of the various st;:ndard-bear ers, who are at this time stationed 'about the streets, in 'the greatest thonroughfares of the metropolis, holding inflammatory placards, surmounted by -olive leaves and other tokens of triumph ? Do they think that this originateS in any good, or right, or loyal feeling ; or that the 'prompters behind 'theurtains are'of a descriptioh which any one of the King's Ministers would like to be iden tified with?

It soon entered a cloud and was no longer visible. The aero nauts experienced all the vicissitudes of rain, snow, hail, and sunshine, and at length safely descended at Mr. Allen's Farm, near Wimbledon, about ten miles from London, from whence they returned in a chaise and four to the Go lden Ea g le, at Mile end, where they arrived about 11 o'clock, amidst the cheering of the multitude. that, this specks of triumph originates in the very off-scourring of radicalism, in people (few in number, we believe) who look.upon the failure . of the Catholic Bill as a probable means of keeping alive discontent and disaffection.

They are exceedingly voluminous, occupying upwards of 300 folio pages. They are classed under different heads—namely; Jamaica, Bahames, Barbadoes, Do- minica, Grenada, Antigua, St. Christopher, St. Vincent, To bago, Trinidad, Demerara, Berbice, and St. Lucia.

I' replied, " Pohl . nonsense ! perhaps there might be two or three of 111 r. Malcolm's going down to the Magistrates., and that's all." Then she said, "Ah ! massa, won't believe thoSe things;' there are seven of Mr. Malcolm's Negroes gone up' to St. Elizabeth's, to bring the Accompong Maroons down ; for massa, have not you heard that they have been whipping one or two at Montego Bay ?" She then told me that the Dun dee people was to join them, and that on their way up they were to set the Trash Houses of Alexandria Estate on fire. At day dawn this 'morning, on looking out, I saw the fire. She also Said; that two of Mr. Hall's estates, in St. James, had promised to join them, but. that she could not tell the names of them. This morning early, when I was bustling to. get away to the lowlands, I saw one of my men, and asked him why tie was 'not at work Sooner, and that I supposed he had gone to join the Maroons. He said, " No, Sir." Then he asked me which way I was going ? I told him to Argyle, through the short cnt. He advised me not to go - that 'way, fOr there was a great force, as Mr. Malcolm** • people had brought down from St. Elizabeth's a, :great force of them, who had passed Mr.lll 4 Caill's. In my way corning along I met Mr. Malcolm's man, John Clarke, who waa_in a blue coat, with a mascheat under his arm. He .said, in a surly 'tone; " Morrow, Massa! " I said 4 4 , 'Morrow, John ! 7 His Wife was with him. When I arrived. at Knack, alva 'New Ground, I saw a sulky-looking man dretsedapSt. • clean, with a pocket-bock sticking out of his pocket, near, the , hut. I saluted him, but - he took no notice of 'me. ' Thcn : I ask.ed the freeman who was with me, who is that beau man ? Ile said, "He is one of them." " What," said 1,,. 4 .0f.t1re AccoMpongs " He said, " Yes, I !mew him." My 'women also told me that they had stript all they could their houses, and carried it to a new house they had built in the back pat of Mr. 3lalcolm's land, and what they could not carry away they buried. Some of the Ramble people came to my place yester day, to bring 'provisions, and said the Accompong Maroons had told them to make:short frocks and short - breechegOlte more easily to go through the hushes.

E It, addressed to Earl 13anff:11ST, daied King's, House, Jamaica, Ist July 1824. . Knowing how anxious your Lordship will naturally s tieto I'e ceive the earliest information of the State affairs here, I avail myself of the thande'of a private ship reaching England sooner ' than the packet, which will not, sail before the 13thinst., to ac quaint your Lordship, that' the late revolt of the negroes as • Argyle Estate, in Hanover and on Alexandria, and Golden Groxe Estates in the same ,parish, has been by, thegimposing force, which was ,with great rapidity brought against them, ;pr the present suppreseed. About 20 of the principal persons were brought in. by the troops, two of whom immediately destroii'd themselves; the remaining slaTes who had absented themselves had returned to their duty, The alarni'Which the affair at Hanover naturally excifed, has been since Medi increased by an anonymous letter, which 'was addressed to a:gentlernan of high militia rank. at Savanae la-mar, stating, that gratitude for great services rendered to the writer, induced him to disclose a projected massacre of the white inhabitants in St. Elizabeth and Westmoreland, at the knowledge of which he had arrived by having been secreted e to some secret society, and to which he acknowledged himse lf to have been bound by oath not to divulge their plot.. fle more .than insinuated that a portion of the Westmoreland' regiment was not to be depended upon, and de ' -I , nated by soine.corain Slavon the estctes in that neighbourhood, who were deeplY implicated in the plot, and ought to be apprehended. . The intelligence which this letter conveyed was.so stantial, and entered so much into detail, that it was ahourr t prudent not to disregard it, and Sir John Keane, halting with his, usual zeal made an offer of his services, he sailed eto:e morning after this intelligence was received, in the .Husssr frigate, for Savanna la Mar, taking on board with him a.. eh' vision of the 92d regiment, and a party of the Royal ArtillerY: lie found upon his arrival, that there did not appear any real, foundation for the alarm • the negroes pointed out as the ch ic ' conspirators were apprehended, and examined before, the : Mtv gistrates, who were so satisfied of their innocence, that rte. were sent back to the several estates they had been bro tt Ot from, with an assurance that the Magistrates placed perfec t confidence in their fidelity. • Sir John Keane's prompt visit to Savanna la Mai , hill been attended with the best consequences. It has cOnyinco the Negroes of the great rapidity with which a regulac force can he brought against them. For the same reason, it hag given encouragement and confidence to the militia. cannot conceal from your Lordships, that the delusitA which the Negroes throughout throughout the island have ge. nerally participated in, that they arc entitled to their freetiore' has not been removed by the publication of his illajestys,r o :, clamation. They have been heard to declare, in various par : of the island, that the Proclamation is a forget', and has b ee ' fabricated in this country by their owners. %Vl:ether this ire' pression will be. removed it is difficUlt to say, but lam er e 'tretnely apprehensive that some time will elapse before island is again restored to a state of perfect tramtuility, BIR'rIIS. • On Friday, the 27th inst., the lady of Major Rivett Card of a son.
