I commented upon what passed in both Houses in such a manner, that it would seem the writer thought that Parliament ought to be under the controul of coporate bodies.

Though the advantages that must be derived from the erec tion of a Suspension Bridge over the Tyne from North to South Shields, both in a local and national point of view, are obvious, a few of the most important may be thus enu merated : The population of North Shields and Tynemouth, and the population of South Shields and Westoe, form a total of 60,000 inhabitants, exceeding any town on the great North Road between / London and Edinburgh ; but the river is a great obstacle to general intercourse. In passing, or conveying goods across the river at Shields by boats, it must be acknowledged that the risk, at all times great, has been rendered more so of late by the increase of traf fic, and the rapid movements of the numerous steam vessels, which greatly endanger the lives of persons crossing, of which there are innumerable instances. The Bridge would remedy the evil, and the large population of both towns, now divided, would derive incalculable advantages from the Union. North Shields would then be within 7 miles of Sunderland, though at present any person travelling post between those towns, will find the distance to be nearly. 20 miles ; and the line of com munication between Sunderland' and South Shields with Alor peth, the great, mart for cattle, would be considerably shortened. Sunderland is 27 milei from Morpeth by. Newcastle, at present the only rood, but by way of North Shields, where there is now an excellent turnpike, the distance would be reduced to 23 miles. The distance from South Shields to 111orpeth, through Newcastle, is 2f miles, but by North Shields it would not exceed 17 miles of good and level turnpike-road. In each' case, the hills and pavement, from the Barras Bridge at New castle to the head of Gateshead (an inconvenience much com plained of, and which does more injury to cattle than driving them 6 or 7 miles upon an ordinary turnpike) would be avoid ed, and the Otpence and delay of keeping the cattle upon the road (no trifling consideration) would be saved. The Residerii in North Shields would hare a _ conveyance from his own.door directly southward, whilst those of South Shields and Sunderland would find a similar advantage in pro ceeding northward. The increasing populous towns of Blyth and Hartley, (of great consequence from their connection with collieries which are multiplying in their neighbourhood) the former distant from North Shields ten miles, the latter six miles, both situated on the sea coast, will receive the greatest benefit from the Bridge in their communication with the south, through sea port towns with which they have considerable and important intercourse ; and they will also partake of the general improve ment of North And South Shields. The persons interested in Sunderland Bridge and in the roads from South Shields to Durham and Stockton, (tom North Shields to Newcastle, and from Shields to. Morpeth, must reap great advantage from the increase of passage which the Bridge will promote. The project will bear consideration not only as a mere matter of local importance, but in a national point of view, as regards the advantage Government will derive from the facility which will be.given to the passage of troops, ordnance, and stores from North to South Shields. Tynemouth Castle has been long used as a depot for military stores; but the want of a ready communication with the southern bank of the river, was con stantly felt during the late war, when a bridge of barges and flat bottomed boats was constructed at enormous expence to little purpose. It is understood that the distance from North Shields to Edin burgh, by a coast road, is shorter than from Newcastle to that city, by five or six miles, and by a more level road; and that a saving of six or seven miles can be made in the distance from York to South Shields. It follows, then that, by a Bridge over the Tyne at Shields, the distance is shortened, between York and Edinburgh, twelve or thirteen miles, which will deserve the attention ana support of his Lordship the Postmaster General An alteration is about to be made in the running of the mail, to pass from Sunderland to Newcastle,missing South Shields ; yet it is certain this measure, so serious an evil to the inhabitants, is only resorted to for want of the projected Bridge. It is needleis to comment on the advantages which will result to individuals whose estates are in the immediate vicinity of the Bridge, or the eastern parts of Durham and Northumber land. The establishment of a good market at Shields must necessarily follow, from the encreased demand of the large united population and the facility of supply. Though the great benefit the ancient and commercial town of Newcastle, the capital of the North, must derive from the prosperity of Shields has not been stated as one of the advan tages to be calculated upon from the Suspension Bridge, in ought not to be overlooked, especially when the great increase of trade is considered which must accrue from the proposed rail-road to Carlisle. _ _ _ _ Capt. Brown undertakes that the cost of the Bridge and erec tions shall not exceed 93,000/., which is to be provided for by a capital of 100,0001. in shares of one hundred pounds each. It only, therefore, remains to satisfy the Capitalist that he will receive a remunerating interest, of which there is every prospect. The tolls are estimated on the present existi ng intercourse between the two towns and adjacent country, at a very moderate calculation, to produce 6,000/. per annum, though an immense increase may be fairly contemplated as soon as the Bridge is opened. Indeed there can be no doubt, independent of all the intercourse of the district, that this will be a consider able thoroughfare for travellers pursuing their route along the coast, who will thus embrace the opportunity of crossing the Bridges of Sunderland and Shields, the latter promising to be one of the noblest works in the kingdom. Lastly, The advantages to he derived are not, as in most of the projects of the present day, fallacious or visionary ; there can be no deception, as the benefits, both public and private, may be contemplated and appreciated by every one possessing local knowledge. N. B. Sub'scription lists are left at the banks in Newcastle, Shields, Sunderland, Durham, and Stockton ; and with Messrs. Fry and Chapman, bankers, London. One-third of the capital is already subscribed. GENUINE PATENT MEDICINES. S 0 L D by BUTLER, Chemist and Druggist, No—i, Chraptidr, St. Paul's, London.

The following is a correct copy of the Letter from Mr. CANNING to the Secretary of the Pro visional. Government orGreece :- •' FOREIGN OFFICE, DEC, 1, 1824. " Sta=l have to acknowledge the receipt of the letter which you did me the honour to address to me on the 12th of August (but which reached my hands only the 4th of November) ex pressing the opinion of the Greek Provisional Government up on a paper, which has been published in the Gazettes of Eu rope, purporting to be a plan of pacification for Greece, drawn up by the Court of St. Petersburgh. That the publication of the paper in question is unauthorized cannot be doubted. Whe ther the paper itelf be authentic, it is not for me to admit or to deny; but it is due to the Court of St. Petersburgh to declare to you, that any plan of pecification emanating from that Court, would be dra wn u p ( as th e British Government sincere ly believes) in any thing but an unfriendly disposition towards •Greece; that no such plan has been definitively settled (as your letter appears to assume), with the intention of imposing it either upon Greece, or upon the Turkish Government, and that whatever plan the Emperor of Russia might have in contem plation, would be submitted by his Imperial Majesty, to the several Powers of Europe, his Imperial Majesty's Allies, for their consideration, before any proposition founded thereupon would be made to the contending parties. " The Emperor of Russia had, it is true, suggested to his Allies the expediency of proposing, simultaneously, to the Porte and to the Provisional Government of Greece a sus pension of hostilities, for the purpose of allowing time for a n amicable intervention between them. Nor would the British Government have refused, at a proper time, to be party to that proposal. " It is but just to add, that the paper which has excited the indignation of the Greek Provisional. Government ha's been re ceived with no less indignation by the Divan. " While the Greeks profess an insurmountable abhorrence of any settlement short of die establishment of their independence as a nation, the Divan abjures all modes of reconciliation short of an unqualified re-establishment of their sovereignty over Greece. " Between two parties so disposed, there can, indeed, be little- hope of an acceptable and successful mediation, but to have felt and expressed a desire to mediate before the ex treme vehemence of these opposite resolutions was known, and while the varying fortune of the war appeared to fur nish to both parties not unreasonable motives flir a compro mise, surely cannot be imp u t e d either to Russia, if she ori. ginated the project of such a compromise, or to those who might have been prepared to deliberate in concert with her upon it, as a crime. " The paper, purporting to be a Russian Memoir, contains the elements of a compromise, though not adjusted, perhaps, exactly in the proportions in which they might finally have been arranged for proposal to the belligerent parties. " If the sovereignty of the Turks were not to be absolutely restored, nor the independence of the Greeks to be absolutely acknowledged (to propose either of which extremes would have been not to mediate, but to take a decided part in the contest) there was necessarily no other choice than to qualify, in same mode and degree, .the sovereignty of the one and the in dependence of the other, and the mode and degree of that qua lification seemed to constitute the question fur inquiry and de liberation. " Either party, no doubt, had it in his power to defeat any plan of compromise, however rational in its principle, or im portant in its provisions ; and the previous knowledge that both parties would concur in rejecting any plan of compromise that could be devised, renders any hope of successful intervention at the present moment utterly vain. " On the remainder of your letter, which in effect calls upon the British Government to take part with the Greeks in the struggle for their independence, comparing their merits and claims with those of the Provinces of Spanish America which have separated themselves from the Mother Country, I have only to observe, that with respect to the contest between Spain and the several countries of Spanish America, Great Britain has professed and maintained a strict netrality ; anti that the like neutrality has been observed by Great Britain in the con test now raging in Greece. " The belligerent rights of the Greeks have been uniformly respected ; anti if the British Government has found itself com pelled, on a recent occasion, to repress the excess to which cer tain of those rights were attempted to be carried, th e n r i t i m i, Government is satified that such a necessity will not occur again. " The Provisional Government of Greece m ay r e l y upon the continuance of the same scrupulous neutrality. Th ey may he assured, not only that Great Britain would not be concerned in any attempt (if such an attempt were in contemplation) to force upon them a plan of pacification contrary to their wishes ; but that if they should, at any time hereafter, think it fit to solicit out mediation, we should be ready to tend er i t to tile Porte, and, if accepted by the Porte, to do our best to carry it into et'. fe conjointly with other Powers, whose co-op eration would at e o t nce give facility to any arrangetncnt, and afford the best se curity ably be asked of them.

Lord SUFFIELD knew no more respectable persons than many of those who formed the Equitable Loan Company. If the Institution answered to its object, he could not conceive one more deserving of the thanks of the country. Several members of Parliament, convinced of the benefit which the society might confer on the poorer classes, had joined it, and a respectable magistrate, Sir Richard Birnie, who from his situation could not fail to be a competent judge of what was advantageous for the poor, was among the number of the Directors. In making these observations he was far from wishing to object to the production of any papers for which the Noble Lord might choose to move. The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with the Noble Lord as to the respectability of Sir Richard Birdie; but, as we understood, questioned the propriety of a Police Magistrate be coming a Director of such a Society as the Equitable Loan Company. Lord EXMOUTH presented a petition from the Watermen of the city of London, in favour of the Equitable Loan Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented petitions against the 'Catholic Claims, from the inhabitants of Lakirigheath, Suffolk ; from a place in the county of Lincoln ; and' from But wick, near Boston. Lord KENYON presented a petition from some of the Ma gistrates and inhabitants of Ullswater, against the Catholics. Lord ICING said, this petition was not from the Chief Ma gistrate of the Borough. He had one at present signed by the principal, which was better than one signed by his deputy. fie understood that the children of the Rev. Mr. Don's school had been all turned out, and that some hundred names had been collected in that way. Lord KENYON was aware that the petition intrusted to the Noble Lord was signed by the Mayor, who had married into a Roman Catholic family.

It had been stated in several rEdin4 -burgh newspapers that he had said, that in his opinion the de. , struction of the Protestant church in Ireland would be . no peat evil. He certainly had uttered no such sentiments, nor did he entertain them.—( Hear !)—He tr u st e d th e H ouse wo uld excuse him for having endeavoured to set himself right on this point, because nothing was more likely to injure him in the opinion of his countrymen than it supposition that he felt any Juke- , warmness with respect to the Protestant church —( Hear !)

This clause he proposed should extend to counties alone. 111 r. PEEL suggested that the, most convenient course to be pursued with regard to the proposed clause would be to bring it up on the present occasion without discussion; it mi g ht th e n be printed, and taken into consideration when the bill should be again re-committed. In — repl/ to a question from Mr. ABE ncno mrlY, Mr. PEEL said that he intended to continue the exemptions at present existing, whether by statute or charter. After a few words from Mr. LOCKHART, Mr. CHRTEIS, and Mr. BENETT, the clause was bmught up, a few verbal amendments were agreed to, the House resumed, and the report was received, and ordered to be taken into further considera tion on this day se'nnight.

On the motion of Mr. IIVSKISSON that the Rouse should resolve itself into a Committee on the IMportation,of Corn Acts, Mr. CURWEN said, he would take this 'opportunity uf calling the attention of the Right Hon.. Gentleman to s:orne points which he had intended to suggest to him on a former evening when this subject was before the House. 'He wished to remind himpartitularly of the fact stated in almost all the petitions which had been presented, that there was a :suffi cient quantity of' corn now in the country for the cinisump don of the present year. He trusted that , the „Right Hon. Gentleman, in, proposing to the 'White any :measure on - ttiii subject, would ' s t ate , e i t h er f r O m .somee - infoTtnaiian on which he 'could rely, or from his min belief, or upon .some other satisfactory grounds, 'that a' want of corn was likely to he ex perienced; as that could, alone, in his2(.3lr. Curweress opi nion, justify an alteration in the present qatern. I.lnleas the Right Hon. Gentleman should he able to : do :this, ' how ever reluctantly, must be compelled' to oppose his resolutions. He had no doubt that any regulation which ssheidd havethe effect of preventing the averages from riiiingloo high, would he beneficial. to the country ; but he repeated, that in order to justify any _alteration, it ought to be made out to the sa tisfaction of the House, that the ,hOine supply Waa not, or was likely not to be, equal to the necessary consumption. Mr. CURTEIS said, it was the general' opininn here and in Ireland, that 'the. produce would be . kin* "Sulficient for all the Wants of the country in the present' YeUr. 'To propose any alteration which should have the effect o f reducing the ' present prices of com would, be 'thought,' tinder '4iiili.circum stances, be a breach of faith with the fartnets. In the' pre sent state of the Muse, he shoUld be sorry to have a topic of this importance entirely decided ; bot he,ahould be very glad to hear .what the Right Hon.' Gentleman had to pro pest, and to take it into consideratiOn on sonic Tiattre day, which * he' might name. if it were intended' now' . to carry `thoie measures, he was ready, to confess that he aPPreherided he should not be able to go along with the Right Ifoninirable Gentleman. After a few words from Mr. LO cx HART, did House resolved itself into a Committee. Mr. HUSICISSON said, that after the discussion which 'this subject had:undergone in the course of the Ilia week, it WOuld not, - he 'thought, be necessary for hiM to enter trito any :lerie; discussion upon it. He wished only to bringhefore;the corisi derition of the House the 'Liw 'relating foreign Corn alit now stood, and the facts which Were connected wiikthat'laitOn order ;that they might both be distinetlyunderstead. 'They were, then, simply these z—ln the year 1810, anlic . t,Waspasied by which all foreign corn was prohibited !IM admitted into the ports of Great Britain, wheiKecr Ifie swag ' .
