Lord FITZWILLIAM presented a petition from the Merchants and Manufacturers of Leeds, praying that their Lordships might take into their consideration the state of the trade now carried on between this country and India. Ordered to be laid on the table. The House adjourned at a quarter-past four during pleasure, and resumed at five o'clock. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. The Bishop of CHESTER presented a petition from Chester against any further concessions to the Catholics. The Right Rev. Prelate assured their Lordships that he had not, as was imputed to him, interfered in getting up the meeting with which the petition originated. After a few words from Earl GROSVENOR, the pe tition was laid on the table. The Duke of SUSSEX, in presenting a Petition from the Roman Catholics of Connaught praying for Emanci pation, said ;hat his opinions on that subject were perfectly unaltered. It was a question of the deepest importance, and it was but wise, that in endeavouring to get justice for the Catholics, theirf riends should go with the feeling of the country, and not to at with violence or attempt to influence the public mind. The question required time and consi deration, and as it had never been so, it ought not now he made a question of party, it had hitherto been left open to every man to vote for it as he pleased—as such continued his Royal Highness, I have voted for it, and as such I will vote for it; but if it is to be made the standard of a party, I most certainly will not leud my hand to it. The petition was ordered to be laid on the table. NEW ADMINISTRATION. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in moving for a return of the exact state of his Majesty's present Ad mini.t! aion, said, I want to know in 'what position the present Government of his Majesty stands. Will the Noble Lord on the opposite side rise and state to the House that it is not a Provisionary C , ;vernment ? Are we to understand that there are shadows in- the great Offices of State? My Lords, I have read very lately a his tory about the Shadowless man, but in my opinion on the present occasion there is a First Lord of the Trea sury with many shadows. But I want to know in what state the Foreign Department is as contrasted with the state of the late Government. I understand there has been a very considerable expendeiture incurred lately I be lieve further that the First Lord of his Majesty's Treasury, if I am informed rightly has within a very short time— I won't say received, hut that he has made his ground sure whether he remains in office or not, that he has actually received, or is to receive a pension of three thousand pounds per annum for his services. Now, I want to know exactly in what condition that office is, and it is, therefore, with a view of having that knowledge, that I shall humbly propose to your Lordships for the return I am now going to move for. My Lords, if the Noble Lord on the other side will state distinctly that it is not a provisionary Government, I do declare that I will then on no account press' my motion; but I am determined, continually and repeatedly to call upon him and this House from this night to the end of the Session, if necessary, to state that point. lam sure, my Lord, the Noble Secretary of State, who holds that office temporarily, would be very much obligedito me to have the return I now call for, because it would give him an opportunity of seeing the very large of patronage that is to be disposed of. It is said there is a very great great desFre existing to have the office of First Lord of the Treasury, on account of thepatronage that is attached to the office. Certainly I have always allowed that there are frequently reasons for giving great favours, and those favours I believe have been given on the present occasion to Noble Lords who have passed over from this to the other side of the House ; but it would be very satisfactory for us to learn what return the First Lord of the Treasury has to make. lam told, that in a very short time we shall see him the Secretary of War—that he will take the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that we shall have a First Lord of the Treasury in Ireland. Now when no man will tell me that the present arrangement is not provisional, I wish to examine into the grounds on which this great love for office is established. God Gop ! when we see the changes that have taken place in the Government, whiCh has been, by the wisdom of our ancestors, or by the most wise and greatest men in the state, established upon a regular system when we see they overset—l speak with great hanaility, 'for I know no thing of the present Ministry ;'lint I will speak as an of ficer with respect to the army, and I will say, that looking at this arrangement, I cannot for the life of me understand how it is to be conducted, unless it is meant to throw the whole management of the army into the hands of a Minis ter, and that I most strenuously' oppose. Let us always have an individual to take this department, who would be able to select good officers—who would be competent to give officers their merits and promotion, and who would serve with them in the field ; but if our army is to be directed by a Secretary at War, why that is quite a different thing. And it is not only in this department, but I will say, in all the departments of office, there is a complete and entire deficiency, and for this reason, that nobody knows whether those now in office are to retain their offices or not. I say, and when 1 state that I see my Noble Friend opposite me, let it be understood that no one has more ' private friendship for him than I have, but when I see him on the other side of the House, haying, in his ranks the champions of Reform, and who have passed over from this side of the House, I declare I think there is a revolution in the opinions and feelings and sentiments of this country that is enough to paralyse every rational man.—(Laugh ter. )----My Lords, I will not trouble your Lordships further though I declare to my Noble Friend, that I shall on every occasion bring the thing forward, humble as I am and in adequate as I may be to the task, but forward I will bring it until the information is produced, I now call for, be cause I would not press for it if I did not see by the state of the country, one of the most contemptible arrangements that ever was proposed to the British nation. I beg leave to guard myself against saying or using a word that has regard to any local circumstances, but at present there is the most degrading the most mean arrangement to arrest and stop the fair declaration and opinion of the country that could possibly have existed. Good God ! When the Noble Lord who used to head the House on this side, can go over to the other side and lay himself down among others, is he to delay till that period arrives when all the great business of the House is over, bringing forward the information now called for, and that then we are to be turned to the right about,—(Great laughter)—are to re main here having our hands tied behind us from this moment to the end of the Session, without gnowing the Govern ment? I cannot hut look ilea to the names of Pitt and Fox; and looking at those names, I would ask, would they ever have entered into such a Government as this, under a declation that it stands as a Provisional Government ? Now, if the Noble Lord will stand up and state in the face of the House, that that is not the case, then I will waive the calling for those papers, which I shall now propose to have brought forward ; but, if not, I will day after day, and time after time, do my duty to my country with - respect to what I conceive to be con temptible and an imposition on every honest man that my firm and honest opinion (Much laughter)—(a long pause)—l will go a little further before I sit down— (Loud and , long contin ue d laughter. )—lf t h e state of things continues," I shill certainly feel it my duty, although I do not profess to be able to prove before this House what I have `heard, yet Kival feel it my duty to submit to this House, the reports that are- in circulation.—Bursts of laughter.i—Now, in respect to thoie reports nothing is so easy as a simple and distinct contradiction; and if I hear that contradiction given, I will not only apologise to your Lordships for having unnecessarily occupied your time, but acknowledge that I have been guilty of a most unpardonable indiscretion— (Hear !) ; if not, I 'will state to this House, and to the country, all the details that have come to my ears, with re spect to this provisional Government. And though I may be arrested in tbis House—though I may be attempted to be written down by the vile and venal press of this country— though that press may ridicule me, and endeavour to place me in a situation which, I will venture to say, would be very painful to any man before the public.—(Laughter.) whether I am arrested in this House, or put down by a venal press I say.—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition, and great laughter.)—l will tell them both that all their satire passes by me as the idle wind, which I regard not —(continued laughter)—and I will stand up here and distinctly state those reports which I have heard, and which may, perhaps, induce Noble Lords in this place and persons in another place to deny distinctly what is alleged in public.—(Loud cries of hear. )—This is said that a certain great and eminent Barrister did make certain overtures, not only with respect to himself and his party, but with respect to a Noble Marquis and his party to the first Lord of the Treasury. I state what I now say from mere rumour—(hoar hear, from the Opposition benches) —but if it be not true, nothing can be easy as to deny it. But it is stated, that those overtures were received and put up into his pocket. It is stated that no communication of those overtures was made to his colleagues, subsequently the First Lord of the Treasury went to Windsor, and while there, as I am informed, certain use was made of thoSe communications; .but without entering into what passed at WiuJ .or, I will say that the ren.:4 hns proved what took . On a future occasion I may perhaps go into details, but at present we see the Learned Advocate to whom I have alluded, but the Noble Marquis too, ar ranged on the other side of the House.—(Hear, hear. )—Prom what I can understand too, the colleagnes of the First Lord of the Treasury were ignorant of all this till a fortnight afterwards, and entirely igno rant of any use having been made of the overtures being made at Windsor. Now you may talk of a Cabal, but if those reports are proved, there is another word to be made use of . . which I must call something like intrigue. If those reports be true, that the Noble Lord should have received those over- tures, and that subsequently the negotiation should have proved their effect ; I do think the country will record something like what occurred in our annals in the year 1800. When the Secretary of State for the Home Department heard of this communication, he expressed his surprise that it should have been in the possession of the Right Hon. Gentleman for ten or fourteen days, and yet be kept secret by him. I have no information on these points.-- (Cheers and laughter. )---I admit that I have no information I declare to my God that I have none.—(Continued laugh ter.)—l speak entirelp from report, and until that be un contradicted, lam bound to believe it. If what I charge these Noble Lords with be untrue, I will throw myself on their indulgence, and most heartily beg their pardon ; but if the provisional C. wernment exist, I will sift all the circumstances, and trust that in the end we will see ranged against us an intelligent Administration. As to the Noble Marquis who has lately left this side of the House, he is like a fish in the water, propelled by his tail, for I understand that he has been urged on by the tail of hisparty. The Noble Marquis then proceeded to express his regret that a Noble Marquis, who lately held the House in admiration of his talent, should have de stroyed that high opinion which they had entertained of him, by consenting to act as second at the op posite side of the House. It was a matter of surprise that the Marquis of Lansdown—(Loud cries of Order) *that the Noble Marquis of Lansdown, who was leader or t:;•: OppOsition should be now stationed as he is, on the Ministerial Benches. The Noble Marquis con cludeded by moving for several returns, of which the following is the substance. A return of the appointments in the Foreign Department at home and abroad, including the name,rstation, and emoluments of the persons appointed, together with the total expenditure of the Foreign Depart ment. Several Returns connected with the expenditure of the Foreign Depirtment. A return of the names, rank, and station of persons allowed to retire upon pensions, specifying the circumstances under which they have received their pensions. A Return of the persons appointed to situations in the Foreign Department at home and abroad, specifying the cause of the appointments. Lord DUDLEY, after defending his conduct in accept ing office, which he did when the services of every subject was more than usually necessary to his Sovereign, express ed a hope that the Noble Marquis would withdraw his motion for the present, and give notice for a future day. He pledged himself to their Lordships that every exertion should be made meanwhile to furnish the required infor mation if possible. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that as the papers were made out quarterly, no great delay could arise in furnishing them. He had, however, no disposposition to press the matter, but he was deter mined in getting at all necessary information. The The Noble Marquis heard that great alterations were con templated at the Foreign Offiee, amongst other things he learned that it was intended to build a magnificent house for the Foreign Secretary.—(Hear, hear.) After some further conversation the Noble Marquis with drew his motions, with notice that he would renew them on Thursday next. The Rail: of WINCIIELSEA informed their Lordships that he had not made up his mind as to the day when he should • submit his motion his motion respecting the state of the nation. He would be prepared, however, to inform their Lordships, very shortly, whut time he should fix. CORN BILL. . _ After a long conversation, in which several Noble Lords took part, it was arrranged that the Corn Bill should be read a second time next Friday week. (Left Sitting. ) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Speaker took the Chair this evening at the hour, and upon the door being opened, the gallery was immedi ately Med. Several new Members were then sworn at the table, amongst others the Hon. Wm. Lamb, who had vacated hiiieat by accepting the office of Secretary for Ireland. Mr. - MAURICE FITZGERALD withdrew his motion on the State of Ireland, which stood for to-morrow evening. The Marquis of CHANDOS said, that the Hon. Gen tleman having changed his seat since he had given notice of the motion in question, sufficiently accounted for the withdrawal of that motion, The Hon. Gentleman and those who, like him, had changed their seats, did not feel it convenient, nor were not at liberty now to express the opinions which they held when at the Opposition side_ (Hear, hear.)—But he (the Marquis of Chandos) would inforin t ~, s e Honourable Gentlemen, that if they failed to express the opinions they so lately held, the country would know to what the change of sentiment ought to be ascribed—(Hear, hear,)—and the character of an English Whig would n 3 longer be an object of admiration. Mr. M. FITZGERALD said, he did not feel himself at all accountable for acting according to his own discretion in withdrawing any motion, less of all was he accountable to those who opposed every proposal for the improvement of that country which his motion was intended to affect.— (Hear, hear.) Sir T LETHBRIDGB rose tc order. He submitted that there was no question before the House. The SPEAKER said, that the Hon. Member un questionably was out of order, but he wished Hon. Members who were watching the regularity of the pro ceedings, would have the impartiality to interfere before an Hon. Member had spoken on one side of the question. —(Hear, and laughter). Upon the presentation of a petition from Chester, by Lord BELCRAVE, against any further concession to the Roman Catholics, Sir H. HABDINGE rose to express his surprise at the extraordinary manner in which Hon. Members at the Mi nisterial sides attempted to smother the Catholic question. It was not a sine qua non as the Hon. Member (Sir F. Burdett) termed it, but a sine die question. He (Sir H. Hardinge) always had and always would vote in favour of Emancipation ; but lie could not forget thafthe Hon. Mem bers who now wished to postpone the question of Emancipa tion, had a short time ago asserted that the frequent dis cussion of that question was the only way to promote it— (Hear, hear.)—An Hon. Gentleman, (Mr. Brougham) talked of the persecution and oppression of the Catholics, and yet that Hon. and Learned Gentleman, now consented to abandon those claims, and to support the present Ad ministration upon principles which God only knew. He was justified in this observation, because the Honourable Gentleman. and his party, only agreed with the pre sent Frilly! Minister in one question, differing with him in all t , liers.—(Hear, bear, hear.)—He could not forget that the Hon. and Learned Gent. to whom he be fore alluded had charged the Right Hon. Gent. at the head of affairs, with truckling for office, and surely other Hon. Members might now retort, for the Hon. and Learned Gent. had taken his place at that side of the House with out any satisfactory reasons for such a change. In his (Sir H. Harding's opinion, in consistency, honesty, and good faith, every Member who postponed a question was bound to state the reasons which occurred between March and May, to induce him to take such a course.—(Cheers.) Mr. MAURICE FITZGERALD had no hesitation in stating that he had withdrawn his illation, because he feared that by persevering in bringing it on, he should inflict an injury on the Catholic cause, and his opinion on this point was borne out by the unanimous opinion of the Catholics themselves. He was not accountable to any person for choosing his own side of the House, but he had no hesita tion in declaring that he stood at the side he now did to advocate and support the same opinions he held when at the opposite side of the House, and also to sup port an Administration which, however embarrassed by faction, he was convinced intended well to the Empire, and particularly to that Country, the inte rests of which he (Mr. Fitzgerald) had most at heart. For those reasons he stood where he now did, and he had an additional reason, to the desire to oppose that cabal to which the Noble Lord and the Gallant Gentleman had leagued themselves. Lord ALTHORP said he certainly differed with Minis ters on some questions, but that was no reason why he should give his support to those with whom he differed on every question.—(Hear, hear.)—Besides, if he and those who agreed with him took tho course which Honourable Gentlemen opposite recommended, it would tend to raise a Tory Administration in its most hideous form. THE REVENUE. Mr. MABERLY rose to withdraw his motion on Finance of the Country, and at the same time took occa sion to observe that he reserved his right to oppose an of the Financial Arrangements which might be proposey ii the course of the Session, notwithstanding his declaration of his present intention to withdraw the motions of whnd he had given notice. His opposition, however, he proh mired should be very different from that of the factionc which had lately appeared to oppose the Ministry. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that. though it had been the intention of his Right Honourable predecessor (Mr. Robins'n) to propose, during the present Session a Committee of Finance, he (Mr. Canning) had resolved to postpone that proposition until the next year, when he should move for such a Committee as had been formed about three years ago. By that means, the wisdom of the whole House wauld be applied to our financial af fairs, and we should be able to look our difficulties fairly in the face. (Cheers.) He was the more determined in the adoption of this cousse, because he had the satisfaction of being able to state that there was a gradual improvemen taking place in the Revenue —(Great cheers.) The Right Hon. Gentleman conel,ded by giving notice, that on Fr t day night next he would move that the House should rei solve itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr. AIABERLY congratulated the House and the coun try on the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman, which he was confident would be received with the greatest satis faction out of docrs.—(Hear, hear!) (Left sitting.) LOVAT CLAIM OF PEERAGE. This claim is now in progress of prosecution before the House of Lords. Owing to the state of health of some of the witnesses they have been examined in Scotland; and their evidence is just returned to the House. The following are extracts : Alexander Fraser asked (7th question)—Have you, or not, ever heard from any member of the family, and if so, from which in particular, who was reputed to be the father of Simon Lord Lovat, who was beheaded in the year 1747; if yea, set forth what you have so heard from them, or any of them, relative to the matters inquired after by this question, according to the best of your remembrance and belief? After replying to the 6th question, that he was well acquainted with different members of the family of Fraser of Lovat, who are now deceased : that he was gamekeeper to General Simon Fraser of Lovat, from the time that the estate of Lovat was restored to him till his death; that he was born in this place, which is situated within half a mile of Beaufort Castle, and has resided here all his lifetime. De pones, that the deponent's father was a servant to Simon Lord Lovat, and also lived at this place all his lifetime. Depones, that the deponent recollects Simon Lord Lovat, and remembers his Lordship being at a christening near this place, when, after the ceremony was over, he took the deponent into his coach, and that this was about three years before the battle of Culloden. Depones, that he was also well acquainted with Alexander Fraser, second son of Simon Lord Lovat, commonly called the Briga dier, who resided many y ears i n t h e d eponent ' s near neighbourhood, and that the deponent knew the said Brigadier from the period of the battle of Cullo den till the time of his death. Depones, that he was also very well acquainted with the late Col. Archi bald Campbell Fraser of Lovat, youngest son of Simon Lord Lovat, for a great many years, and for at least upwards of 30 years ; and that he also knew the children of the said Colonel Archibald Campbell Fraser, viz., Simon, Archibald, and William, and there was one who died in London, whose name he does not know. He answered to the 7th question —That he has heard that the father of Simon Lord Lovat, who was beheaded in the year 1747, was called Thomas Fraser of Beaufort, and that the deponent received this information from his own father; and that the said Thomas Fraser of Beau fort lived at Tomich in the parish of Urray. To the Bth question, he answered that Alexander Simon Lord Lovat and John Fraser were all the sons or children of Thomas Fraser of Beaufort; that Alexander killed a fiddler for playing the Highlai'd air of " Ha Pitag er Mac Thomash,' which the said Alexander conceived to be in derision of him, and he never heard that the said Alexander was married; that Simon sur.3eded to the property and title of Lovat, and that John, the youngest son of Thomas of Beau fort, was killed at the battle of Glenahiel, a young man unmarried ; that he learned these particulars about the family of Lovat from his own father and the neighbours. He adds, that he never heard from any member of the Lovat family, nor from any other person, that Simon Lord Lovat was reputed in the family to have had any uncle or uncles by the father's side. That he cannot sign his name; owing to a great tremor in his hand. All which is truth, as he shall answer to God. Hugh Maclean depones, that he was eighty-one years of age on the 30th of October last. That he took a farm on the forfeited estate of Lovat, and possessed th same for fifty-one years, during which long period he was intimate with the successive pro prietors of the estate of Lovat, &c. That in 1757, he got acquainted with the said General Simon FL:ser, the eldest son and heir of Simon Lord Lovat, who was . beheaded in the year 1747; and the deponent's relations wished the deponent to accept of a commission in a Highland regiment, which the said General Simon Fraser was then raising, &c. That he was well acquainted with Alexander Fraser, called the Brigadier (the only brother-german of General Simon Fraser aforesaid), who often visited the deponent's father, and upon some of those occasions the said Brigadier Alexander Fraser passed the night in the deponent's father's house, and upon such occasions the deponent, then a boy, used to leave a bottle of whiskey at the Briga dier's bedside, to be drunk by him during the night, and which he generally finished before morning. De pones, that the said Alex. Fraser died unmarried in the year 1762, and the deponent accompanied his funeral to Kirkhill, in the county of Inverness, and saw his coffin deposited in the family tomb in the church of Kirkhill. Debones that the deponent also knew, intimately, the late Colonel Archibald Campbell Fraser, of Lovat, who was the only brother of the said General Fraser, having been the only son of the said Simon Lord Lovat's second marriage ; and the deponent knows very well that the said Colonel Archibald Campbell Fraser survived all his five sons, who all died unmarried, and without lawful issue, and he was particularly well acquainted with Simon the eldest of the said five sons. That in his early years he was told by the late General Simon Fraser, of Lovat, or the said Brigadier Alexander Fraser, his brother, that Th omas F raser , o f Beau fort, commonly called the Lord Lovat's son, was the father of Simon Lord Lovat, who was beheaded in the year 1747, and that he was their grandfather. that he was also told, either by the said General Simon Fraser, or by the said Brigadier Alexander Fraser, and the tradition is still current in the High lands, that the Gaelic song "Ha Pittag, er Mac Thomash" was composed in derision of the said Alexander Thomas of Beaufort's eldest son. Miss M. Fraser depones that she was very well acquainted with several members of the family of the Frasers of Lovat, who are now deceased ; that the deponent has a perfect recollection of having, when a child, seen Simon Lord Lovat, who was beheaded in 1747; that she was particularly well acquainted, and of habits of intimacy, with Alex. Fraser, commonly called the Brigadier, second son of the said Simon Lord Lovat ; that the deponent was also acquainted with General Simon Fraser, late of Lovat, the eldest son of the said Simon Lord Lovat, &c. That the deponent always understood from the family of Lovat,and the different members thereof, as well as from the members of her own family (and particularly from her father, John Fraser of Farraline) which she always considered a branch of the Lovat family, that Thomas Fraser of Beau fort, a younger son of Hugh the ninth Lord Lovat, was the father of Simon Lord Lovat, who was beheaded in the year 1747, &c.

THE LATE LIEUT. W. J. SNOW, R.N. [We recommend the following case to the sympathy o f our benevolent readers—it well merits the kindnesaof a humane and generous public, always ready to befriend the family of a brave man, who has prematurely lost his life in the service of his country. It will he seen by an Ad vertisement in oar front page, that a public subscription is now open on their behalf.—En.] It having been determined to solicit the aid of a generous public for the widow and four young chil dren of the late Lieutenant William John Snow, of the Royal Navy, under their present very peculiar circumstances of misfortune and distress, it is though t right to make known some little history of that brave officer, and of those services and wounds to which his life has now become a sacrifice. Lieut. William John Snow was educated at Christ's Hospital, which he left at the age of four teen, to enter as a Midshipman on board the San Nicholas prison ship, then commanded by his father, a very old officer, and Captain in the Royal Navy. His star in the San Nicholas was but short, as, in is few months, he went on more active duty, and was employed successively during the most eventful periods of the naval war, in the L' Achilk, Egeria, Forward, Ruby, Guerriere, Poietiers, Frolic, Dol phin, and Manly. In the L' Achille, when in the 15th year of his age, he was engaged in the battle of Trafalgar, and received a bad compound fracture of the left arm, and a slight wound on the right knee, for which wounds he received a smart ticket and gratuity. In the Egeria, still a young man, in some boat work with a privateer, he received a cutlass wound, leaving a large scar. In an attempt to save a Danish vessel, in which he was prize -master, from recapture, he received two other wounds; and, afterwards, when a prisoner in an enemy's ship, on his way from one prison depot to another, in the Baltic, he !ed on successfully a rescue, under a most extraordi aary disproportion of numbers and physical strength, and brought the whole party to England. On this occasion, be received a wound on the back of his hand, leaving a large scar. The ship, under all the circumstances, was given up by Government, but lie recovered his liberty, and fully established by the transaction a character for the most determined bravery—an event fully proving the words of an old English Bard, that " Courage from hearts, and not from numbers, springs." In the other ships of war enumerated he saw much service. In six months alone, on board the Guar. , rierc, as appears by a particular register of names and dates, he bore his part in capturing, recap turing, or destroying sixteen vessels; among them Lhe American sloop of war the .Nautilus; and be tween October, 1812, and February, 1813, while Serving on board the Poictiert, he also bore his part in capturing, recapturing, or destroying twenty-three vessels, among them the American sloop of war the Wasp. On board the Guerriere, in the action with the American frigate the Constitution, he r ece i ve d his fatal wound, which, by depressing the breast bone obliquely on the right side, together with the ends of four of his ribs, preternaturally contracted the cavity of the chest ? and rendered him liable, on any increased determination of blood to the lungs, from :old or other causes of exciteme n t a ft erwar d s , to a recurrence of inflammation, and thus brought hi:n at the age of 37 to his grave. Captain Dacres, in his public dispatch to the Lords of the Admiralty after the action, speaking •4 this officer, says—" I must recommend Mr. Snow, Master's -mate, who commanded the foremost wil.-deck guns, in the absence o f Li eut . F u l nam, and tie whol e f them after the fall of Lieut. Ready, to yo.T protection, he having received a severe con. :usion from a splinter" —a recommendation _appre ciated by their Lordships, in his eventual promotion o his late rank. Without any long interval of health, this unfortu late Officer had been living with his family for se veral years at Pusey, in Wiltshire, on his half-pay, when the Lords of the Admiralty, in consideration of his wounds and services, most kindly bestowed upon him an appointment, from which he vainly an- Licipated increased comforts, instead of embarrass manta, for his wife and children, and happiness for himself;_ but, emaciated and worn down by the fre quent returns of hemorrhage, pain, and suppuration in the injured part, it was but too evident, on his 'irrival at Putney Heath, that his days were already all but told. The fatigues, expences, and anxieties attendant on a remov a l, f or w hi c h , he was so ill p re - Qared, only led t o renewe d di s ease; and, on t h e eleventh night aft e r hi s arr ival, he died, le av i ng hi s w L i nn clo y w les a s an n, children,dd without altogetherany relative among competent toatrangers, give that aid which some noble and other kind neigh bours were prompt in affording. On an examination of his body after his death, as , o the particular state of his chest, there were found scars of seven distinct wounds, fully confirming Ills own modest recital of his various services, a few ilays before he died. It is but - an act of justice to nim to say, that among his papers he leaves highly creditable testimonials from many Officers under .vhom he bad served. It cannot be doubted that the family of a brave officer, who for many successive years, and •princi- Jelly in the smaller vesaele ef war, has had so much hard work—who has fovght so much, and bled so much, and suffered so much, in the protection of. the ~ommeri.c of his country, will (when their distressed situation is known ) be considered worthy sharers of commercial benevolence.

Do - vau, MAY 6, 1827.—The ship William Manning, Captain Hugh Smith, from St. Kitts, tin. London, laden with Sugar and Rum, came on shore this morning, about six o'clock, in a very thick fog. just to the Eastward of Shakspear Cliff, whilst under the charge of a Deal boatman, whose boat had been dispatched from Dungeness for a River Pilot. It was about high water when the ship grounded. Anchors were immediately got out, and every exertion made to get the ship cif but without success. During the day the deck lumber has been removed, another anchor end cable got out, and s evera l smac k s are now tide t t alongside taking in th e cargo ; so t h at i t i s pro a e bmay be sufficiently lighten e d b y a:kltee to be hove o ff, an d we see a steam Is ship already in attendance to assist her. The passengers have been safely landed at this Port. Seven P.M.----The ship is afloat, and has proceed ed with loss of rudder for the river, in charge of the Royal George steam-packet, and two Dovcr boats.
