PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, JULY C. The House met at three o'clock, when the Commissioners appointed by his Majesty for the prorogation of Parliament took their seats in front of the Throne. They consisted of the Loan CHANCELLOR, and the Earls of SHAFTESBURY, HARILOWBY, WESTMDRLAND, and LIVERPOOL. The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod was ordered to summon the Commons. ha a few minutes the SPEAKER appeared at the bar, accom panied by 50 or 60 Members. The Commission having been read, the Royal assent was given to the Surplus of Grants _Bill, the Combination Laws' Amendment Bill, the Scotch Partnerships' Bill, the Church Rates in Ireland Bill, the Apothecaries Bill, the Selsea Forest Enclbsure Bill, the Western Ship Canal Bill, the Sidmouth Harbour Bill, the Bristol Town Dues Bill, and the Marine Insurance-Company Bill. ' The Loan CHANCELLOR then delivered the Lords Corn misbioners' Speech—(for a correct copy of which, see the Su , of yesterday.) Then a Commission for proroguing the Parliament was read. After which - the LOUD CHANCELLOR said— " 111iy Lords and Gentlemen, " By virtue of his Majesty's Commission, under the. Great meal, to us and other Lords directed, and now.read, we do, in his Majesty's name, and in obedience to his Commands, pro rogue this Parliament to Thursday, the 25th day of August next, •to be then here holden ; and this Parliament is accord iugly prorogued to Thursday, the 25th day of August next." HOUSE OF COMMONS. e'dock the SPEAKER entered the House, and in a few minutes afterwards, having taken the Chair, the D eputy Usher •:f the Black Rod was admitted : he acquainted the House that that Lords, authorized by Royal Commission to give his Ma jesty's as.;ent to several Bills, and also to prorogue, in his Majesty's name, the present Parlianient, summoned the at tendance of that House in the House of Peers, to hear such Royal a,;ent read, and to witness the prorogation of Parliament, in the usual form. The SPEAK ER, accompanied by the very few Members who were present, then quitted the House • and after an absence of a short time, returned, with a copy Of his Majesty's speech in his had, which he read to the Hon. Gentlemen around the table. The Members then separated, and the SPr AKER quitted the House. PEERAGE. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6. THE STAFFORD PEERAGE. The parochial register of St. Andrew's, Worcester, was pro duced at the bar of the House on Tuesday last, in order to ascertain the marriage of those ancestors through whom Mrs. M'Carthy claimed the above title. The entry of the marriage appeared in the register, but under such circumstances as to warrant a suspicion of its not being genuine; in the mean time the Bishop of Worcester's register was sent for, in order to compare it with the parochial register, and a transcript of it was produced to-day by the Registrar of the Diocese. On examination the suspected interpolations did not appear in ; yet, in every other respect it perfectly corresponded with the parochial register. The Reverend Mr. Faulkner, Rector of Saint Andrew's, Worcester, underwent a severe examina tion by their Lordships,. in order to elicit from him how the entries were made. He said that a person, whom he did Pot know, called on him about a year ago for the register in question, and having found out the names he wanted, he request edto fie allowed to take it to another apartment, and to be left alone. With this the witness complied, and the applicant had it-a:considerable time in his possession. On•further examina tion, the witness did not recollect whether it was before or after he gave the register out of his custody that he saw the entries in question. At the conclusion of the examination, Mr. ADAM said, that Mrs. M'Carthy had made out no case. She could not show that she was descended from the Earl of St,afrortl, a.s she was nct able to prove the marriage of the an -Cestors through whom she claimed, nor was it likely that delay could throw any light on it. The descent of Sir George Jae ringliant being proved by the will of the Earl of Stafford, and Cie only other obtacle, the attainder being done away, he hoped their Lordships would ' recommend to his Majesty the establish 't et of the claim. The ATTOILNEV-GENERAL being asked if he had any ithinietO gay, replied that his predecessor, Sir Vicary Gibbs, ifi'r'iiiintfte inquiry, was satisfied of the pedigree of Sir tieqrge Jerningliain ; he, therefore, did not intend to impeach elfin: • . • ""aAltifri - eatort consultation among their Lordships, - '•-"trtie'Ear.l of Sit A FTESAITRY put the questions that the claim be allowed, and that Sir George - Jerningham be called to that f:rraee,-rlifth were agreed to nemine amtradieenfe. MC:-Stafibrd Cooke intends to prefer his claim to a peerage i.t' the same title, but of a more ancient origin, in the neat • • APPEAT.s.—GRANT V. PEDIE. the CoMptittee of Privileges had adjourned, the Loitti cBANCEr.r.on gave judgment in the above appeal, • which he said-invelved - no_ teas importance than whether a inao born in Scotland should be subject to the Scotch laws a' itb ifiOdrdit, till lie'died—in whatever part of the world ,Ilii..!lshourd live. The appellant was .a Solicitor, residing in and the Court . of Session in Scotland exercised a ,*jttirigidtction over, hint ratione origi nus ; though he had i:ialeietiller property nor representation in Scotland, nor was he e4levei served with notice of the action, and, what was more ex bttramdinary, the subject - of the action arose from a contract ~ ).- f tralliaiir England. By the laws of Scotland, if a contract was &vied, in that country pursuant to a particular form, it would ,ere,jurisdietion to:the Court of Session to proceed against a than in his absente ; bet this did not come under that head, nor did he (the Lord Chancellor) think it consistent with the spirit - of any law: he certainly could not reconcile it to reason ; sort therefore he should move that the interlocutor be reversed, which was accordingly agreed to. r. A "on;'s SOCIETY.--The Governors and friends of this Society, which has for its object the maintain leg, clothing, and supporting the legitimate children of every .eiase of poor and necessitous persons, celebrated their miniver. •s re festival yesterday, at the Old London Tavern, Bishops - gdte-street, where an excellent dinner was served up in the best style, with better wines than are usually supplied on • suche occasions.. The Duke of SUSSEX,. patron of the So amp., was to have presided ; but he sent an apology, on the , tf oon<iloc severe indisposition, and accompanied it by a done tienaoc,,lo, guineas. In the absence of his Royal high ness, the chair was filled' by Samuel Thornton, Esq., who was j suppnrted c ,hy- i n,,numerous assemblage of respectable gen- AA soon as ifinner was over and the customary loyal tnees* 6'04 - tlid Chairman proposed " Prosperity to Saint : e isfe'iScidiety,":'Whicle was received with the most energetic, ap*haa's4 by - the company. The children were then intro dta.eci,; and excited great interest by their neat and healthy appearance.' One Of - them ascended a table, and recited at appropriate poetic address, which was warmly applauded. S4veral appeals were ' then made on behalf of the charity; . from which, it appeared, that with the exception of Christ's Hos pital, the eehocils of this Society alone afford an asylum in Lon ;lee, where the'6lildren of that numerous and respectable class of persons, who are above the lowest poor, and untainted with crime, can obtain a suitable education and a home until ther be able to provide for themselves. Unfortunately; however, the ftatids of this truly praiseworthy institution have declined of late, eend it is now 1,0001. in debt. This circumstance having awa kaseal rainsiderable interest and regret in the breasts of reflect tog and generous individuals, the subscriptions and donations announced by the treasurer amounted to upwards of-4001. • BLOOMSBURY SCIIOOh SOCIETY.—A meeting was held on Tuesday evening at the School-room, Perry-street, *mem Town, when sn examination of the children of these schools took place in the presence of a numerous and respect able assembly. Owing to some neglect on the part of the car looters, the platform unfortunately gave way, and the party, nearly, fifty in number, were precipitated to the ground. No serious injury was sustained beyond some-shins scraped and coats torn % Amongst the sufferers were, —Joseph Bu s her. worth, • Esq. M.P.; W. Williams, Esq. 'M.P.; Reverend )r. Dobriowski, of Gottingen ; Reverend Professor Tholluk, tit Berlin ; Rev. Dr. Friedlander, and some•other foreigners. l'he Canadian Chiefs, in full dress, were not on the. platform *she time, but arrived sufficiently early - to gaze upon the scene of , confusion. When order was restored the examination pro ceeded. Above 400 boys went through the manual exercise . of the British School System of Education.; and then • read a few chapters of their elementary books, answered many clues , tiona, and altogether acquitted themselves very respectably._ 'There were above two hundred girls also present, and it was altogether an interesting and grateful exhibition. When the 'examination ceased, W. Williams, Esq., M.P., took the Chair, and Mr. Millar, one of the Secretaries, read the Report.— The Society had existed five years, and had expended 9001. in building two school-rooms, leaving about 7001. more to be paid. These rooms can accommodate 600 children, and the Committee ascertained that more titan 1,500 children in the perieh of St. Pancras were utterly destitute of education.— Nine-hundred girls have already received the benefits of these sitiools.. The site of the new buildings has been given at a vary low rent by the Brewer's Company, and the Society hopes to add a school for 150 infants. The Union, the Fitzroy, and the National Schools, together with the Pancras Society, afford edtsaition for 2,400 children, but double that number require eati, a provision. THE REVENUE. No. I.

SIR-I think it right to lay before you for the intbrmation of the subscribers the following communication, received from a very respectable quarter, dated Rostock, 27th June : " A very scandalous transaction has just been discovered here. A merchant of Wismar, of the name of J. E. Engel, caused to be chartered here, through Mr. M. Bendfelt, the ship Dorothea Regina, to load wool for London ; and Capt. Jur gens, of this place, was appointed to the command of her.— Eighty bales of wool accordingly arrived, and were shipped ; but the cargo not being completed therewith, other respectable Rostock houses were induced to ship their goods by her. The bills of lading for this wool were signed on the 14th inst. ; and it is said that Engel has drawn NU on account thereof. But, on stowing away the wool in the vessel, one of the bales bursted, and was found to contain nothing but the offal. of wool, hay, straw, dung, stones, and other filth. Mr. Bendfelt imme diately on this discovery issued a circular, requesting every merchant to advise his friends in Hamburgla, London, &c., of the fraud, in order to avoid further mischief. Engel has been arrested here ; and it is reported he has confessed that the su percargo, who was to go in the vessel, and whose name is Ito loll, was to have bored and sunk her. This scheme is, how ever, now completely frustrated, and the Underwriters have escaped a heavy loss. Captain Jurgens and his mate made the discovery. Roloff is likewise in custody ; and it remains to be seen what their fate will be. (Signed) " CHRISTOPHER KREIFE, " Consul and Charge d'Affaires in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg. " To J.

We think we shall fulfil the wishes of our sub scribers in hastening to offer to them, in a supplementary sheet, a detailed account of the sojourn of the Duke Of Northumber land within our walls—an event so fruitful in hopes for our town, and in which Boulogne has rendered itself the organ of France in receiving an illustrious guest. On Thursday, at five o'clock in the afternoon, his Excellency the Duke of Northum 7 berland, Envoy Extraordinary from his Britannic Majestys alighted at the Bath Hotel, _which had been prepared for his reception. When informed of his arrival, the authorities has tened to pay their respects to , him. The King's Lieutenant offered the Ambassador a guard of honour, which was declined. The fiahwomen, in their best dress (lair giand costume), pre sented to the Duchess a basket of flowers, which she received with a remarkable condescension. During the dinner of the Duke, the band of the National Guard, which was placed upon the terrace of the hotel, executed some chosen pieces of music. After dinner, the Duke, the Duchess, and suite, went to the play, where two boxes had been prepared for them. The theatre was filled with a crowd of spectators, whom the presence of the illustrious travellers had attracted, and who received them with a shout of applause. The orchestra then executed. the cherished airs of the two nationse—" Vive Henry 1V.," and " God sav e the King," during which the Duke and his suite, and all the audience, were standing. The actors gave " A Moment of Imprudence," and " The Legacy." -His Excellency appeared to take much interest in the perform ance, and he, was seen several times to give proofs of his satisfaction. On returning: to 'the hotel, the Duke found the Court-yard illuminated with coloured lamps, which enabled liirrl.io distill-. guish the statidafai of Frinee and England Waving together_e On the following morning, at ll o'clock, the port was covered with a crowd of natives and foreigners, who hastened to enjoy the presence of the Duke, for whom his packet was wait ing. It was hoped that before his embarkation his Ex cellency would visit the ~new establishment of Sea Baths, Where the great'part of the subscribera Were assembled. This hope was not disappointed. The Mayor and his first officer, accompanied by M. Versia, the proprietor of the baths, received his Excellency. 'During half an hour which the visit occupied, the Duke and Duches's shewed that affability which agrees so well with the elevation of rank. The• Duke praised the good taste of the architecture of the edifice, and the decorations of the saloons ; he appeared particularly struck with the magnifi cent coup d'ceil which presented itself from the platform, in the appearance of the sea, terminated at the horizon by the coast of Eng land, and at the moment animated by the motion of several fish ing-brats entering and leaving the port. One observation which did not escape the .Noblemen of the suite, and which was several times repeated, was, that Boulogne, by its happy position, offers a prompt and easy communication between the two countries. The Dake, before he quitted the establish ment, being informed that the party which met there con silted of subscribers, who held an honourable rank in society, in .a way of which every one will appreciate the delicacy, asked for the list of subscribers, and entered the names of Iliensell and family—a circumstance which leads us to hope that his Excellency will fulfil the promise which he was pleased toioake of again visiting our town.. His Excellency having embarked, as soon as the packet had passed the jetties, two guns, which were placed on the shore, were fired 21 times. The corvette, which was appointed to escort him, advanced, and returned the salute. - It. would be difficult to give to those who were not.presenteatt exact idea of the beauty of the 'picture which was presented. b*. the port and its environs. The crowd, which covered the jetties, the shore, the front and platform of the baths, the numerous vessels which skimmed the sea, a few-clouds -which were repeated over its 1825. PENNANT, in his account of religious customs in North Wales, says, that-" in church the hear ers usually spit at the name of the devil, and smite their breasts at the name of Judas." ANECDOTE OF CARDINAL YORK AND LORD NE Ls° N.—When Napoleon Buonaparte enteredlßome with his army, all who were not favourable to the conqueror fled from the city ; and, as nearly all Italy was under his controul, there was scarcely any resting-place for the fugitives. Cardinal York, brother to the Chevalier de Saint George, commonly called " the Pretender," was particularly obnoxious to Buo naparte, from having reflected severely upon his cruelty, in a charge he made to his clergy as Bishop of Asia. He re moved to Venice, where the French troops followed him, and he escaped in the disguise of a mendicant friar. He begged his way to a village near Cape Otranto, where he lay secreted for several weeks, subsisting on the charity of the Cure of that place. The Agamemnon, 74, was then cruising near the coast, under the orders of Capt. Nelson, and he soon learnt the deplorable situation of the unfortunate Cardinal. Nelson Instantly, determined to assist the last of the Stuarts. He ' went himself on shore, found the Illustrio us unfortunate, and invited him on board ' his ship. The Cardinal hesitated not to throw himself on his generositT. He was accommo dated with a part of the Captain's caoin, and proper appa rel, suitable to his dignity, was furnished him. He remained on board seven weeks, during which period the ship was twice engaged in action. The Cardinal walked the deck with Capt. Nelson, perfectly undismayed, amidst a ecene of carnage to which he had hitherto been a total stranger. As soon as con. venient, Capt. Nelson landed 'him in the Austrian territories, forcing upon him 1001. to defray his expences to Vienna. The old r man sheertears when he left his benefactor, and was regretted by all on board, to whom he was endeared for his mild and unassum ing manners. Nelson frequently spoke of him w ith admiration, and said, that man's example would almost make me a convert to the Catholic faith." The Cardinal had a handsome pension assigned him by the Emperor, and six months after his escape to the Agamemnon, he was on board of her again in the har bour of Genoa. Fortune then smiled upon him, and his delight at seeing his deliverer was sincere. In the ful ness of his gratitude, he embraced all the officers, and ran about the ship, shaking hands with the crew. He re. paid the pecuniary obligation to Nelson, and would have trebled the sum, which Nelson refused. He sent on board fruits, bread, wine, and meat, sufficient to keep the sailors feasting for several days, and kept open house on shore for all the officers. When, taking final leave, he presented Nelson with a sword and a cane , which the " Pretender" ' had used all his life ; they were plainly mounted in silver, and highly valued by Nelson. It is difficult to tell which to admire most, the generosity of Nelson, or the gratitude of the Cardinal ; both did honour to their distinct professions, and this anecdote is equally creditable to the memory of two great men. THE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE AIAsTER. PAPER 'WAXERS AND THEIR JOURNEEAIEN.—In the report of the debate in the House of Commons on Monday evening the 27th ult., when Mr. Wallace moved the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee on the Combination of NVorkmen Bill, Mr. Hume is stated to have said, that the master paper-makers had refused to allow their men an advance of wages, notwithstanding the increased price of provisions. Now we know from unquestionably authority that this statement is directly contrary to the fact, the masters having, immediately on the first application made by the men, consented to an ad vance ; and as soon as the sentiments of the trade could be ascer tained, their demand was readily admitted, to its full extent, for the principal workmen, and to two-thirdsof such a demand for the subordinate hands, which proportion was decidecton by the mas ters after considerable deliberation ; and it is but justice to state, that the workmen in general were content with this arrangement, and would have continued their work but from the influence of their superintending committee:;., which are generally under. the direction ,of the worst and most violent characters: Think., ing as we do that it is but reasonable, on any question of dis pute, and particularly as to wages, that the master has a right mind d to consider of the exped i e nc y of g rantin g all the men choose to b g y oi h ng lr u : flume'sc o t rit - ask, and with every wish for fair p la y to•both ma n and master , w e merely insert this paragraph , without the slightest grounds foz advocating the cause for either, i n order to do away the nn assertion effects t h at (ifmwahya p t rhoed said dd be y o nc correctly c p t lub lrep orted) ic dieted.—( Bath Gazette.)

The details into which we have entered are very proper, without doubt, to entertain and draw closer the bonds of good intelligence which here unite the two nations. The Boulonnais have seized, with marked avidity, this opportunity of doing honour to the English 'nation in the representative of its Monarch, and the Linglish, on their side, have appeared to ap preciate the reception, and its intention: MARSHAL MACDONALD. The Marshal appears to be about sixty years, thin in person, and rather above the middle size ; his hair is quite gray, his eyes dark, his countenance rather round and sedate. lie was plainly dressed in black, and, like his cele brated friend Buonaparte, takes snuff in great quantities.— He speaks very little English, and that little imperfectly. The fatigue of a soldier's life, and the anxieties of political struggles, appear to have brought premature age, for he walked feeble appearing in an infirm state of health. When on the field of Culloden, he expressed his surprise at the imbe cility which dictated the choice of that spot for the position of the Pretender's army. No spot could be worse chosen for the position of an irregular body of men acting on the defensive against regular troops : and the wonder was increased, the General observed', when the neighbouring high grounds behind the Water of Nairn afforded, so fine a position to obtain the objects and suit the circumstances of the Jacobites. Of Mar shal Macdonald's life little or nothing is known in this country. His merits must no doubt be assumed to be great, since they conducted him at an early age to a high command in the French army, and have sustained him in that rank amid all the vicissi tudes which his country and his colleagues in arms have ex perienced during thirty years. The first time, we believe, that his name became familiar in the country was in the year 1799, when the French, having been totally defeated by the Combined Armies of Russia and Austria, under the direction of the celebrated Suvaroff, Gen. Macdonald was ap pointed to command a.division of the French artily directed to act in concert with another 'division under Moreau. The rapid and enterprising manoeuvres of Macdonald on this occasion dis concerted the plans of Suvaroff, and obliged him to withdraw • from the prosecution of the designs he was engaged in, and hasten to the relief of the Austrians, then on the point of being overwhelmed. By astonishing exertions and rapid marches, Suvaroff succeeded in effecting a junction with the Austrians, and the combined armies were ready to make head against the French General. The battle which ensued on the banks of, the Trebia, a deep and rapid river in the north of Italy, was, for duration and obstinacy, wholly unequalled in that war which has been characterised as a " war of giants." • For three summer days in' succession, the contest was main tained with almost unremitting obstinacy. At length the French army was compelled ,to retire, leaving 12,000 of their number extended on the field of battle. Gen. Macdonald, who had been wounded a few weeks previously, was again wounded in this action. He managed his retreat, however, so ably, that his opponents, gallant, active, and skilful as they were, could gain no further advantage, and the shattered wrecks of the French army were conducted without any further loss through the passes of the Appenines into France. Suvaroff being congratulated on his victory, answered in the words of the'monarch of Epirus—" Another such victory and we shall be undone." So far as we have heard, Marshal Macdonald was never employed in the Peninsula , nor o pp osed to British troops. Fie had a command in the French army which invaded Russia, but he was not with that part of it whit.; ad vanced to Moscow. During the campaign which ensued after the disastrous retreat from Russia, he was actively engaged with Buenaparte, Ney, Vandamme, and other celebrated Ge nerals, in the attempt to retrieve the affairs of their country, then bending before the combined efforts of Europe.
