The situation is dose to the sea, and most romantic, as msy be seen on reference to Daniell's Sea Views, and every necessary will be furnished from the farm at market prices. For particulars apply to Mr. P. Maetwan, N.B. ST. BRIDE'S CHURCH. Some meetings have within the last few days taken place in the vestry of St. Bride's Church, upon the subject of causing an entrance to be made to the church, corresponding, in some degree, with the magnificent appearance of the building from Feet-street. Scientific men have, it seems, made great objection to the dead wall upon which the eye, upon descending from the beautiful structure, falls, and the respectable parishioners have deemed it an act of meaniftss not to attempt to do justice to the liberality of Mr. Blades, by adding to the beauty of the building which - he made permanently open to the nubile view. St. Bride'a avenue, it is well known, cost that gentleman upwards of 7,000!., and it was supposed that the parish might themselves, after such a sacrifice of property for their benefit, expend a few hundreds in an improvement which struck every one as necessary. Mr. TICKNER (the Common Councilman) pro posed that an entrance-porch should he made against the wall in front of the avenue. He thought the beauty of the building would be considerably height ened by such an addition, and the expence would amount to a mere bagatelle. Mr. HANSARD proposed, as an amendment, that a handsome archway shquld be erected fronting the avenue, resembling that of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, which was greatly admired. He also proposed that the avenue, instead of being called St. Bride's Avenue, should be called Blade's Avenue, in com memoration of the very great services rendered by that worthy gentleman's A very decided opposition was given to each of those propositions by a numerous body of the pari shioners, who represented that there was too much distress in the parish to justify them in going to any expellee in adding to the beauty of a church which had already the reputation of being one of the finest specimens of architecture in the kingdom. Some of the opposers of the proposed improvements consi dered that it would be very great presumption in the parish to meddle with what Sir Christopher Wren had taken so much pains to render the tie plus ultra of parish-church building, and said that it would be rely bad taste to press such a matter at a time when there were so many paupers. The opposers succeeded in their object, and orders were issued, in conformity with a resolution which was passed, to repair the old entrance. A faculty has been applied for to empower the officers of the pari4l to lay all the tombstones flat, as is the practice at the cathedral church of Salisbury and St. Giles's•in-the-Fields. Plans of the gateways to St. Bride's church from the avenues, projected by Mr. Elmer, the port' of London surveyor, were exhibited to the meeting. That gentleman offered to guarantee that the ex pence of the improvement, which would be one of the most striking kind, should not exceed 3501. MILFORD, MAY 3.—On Friday morning last, at day break, the Liberty, from Bristol, fell in with a schooner, apparently in distress, about three leagues to the west of Lundy ; her main-mast gone below the cross tiers, and sails overboard; they hailed her, but received no answer; the mate and two of the crew in the cabin, lying on the floor asleep. The mate put several questions to them, hut received no answer. The vessel was lying to, drifting, with all sails set on the foremast. The name on her stern the Assiduous of Brixham. An event has lately excited some attention on the Continent. The parish of Gall-neukirchen, in Austria, went over to the Protestant faith.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, M Y 7, 1830. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE . OF LORDS—(LAST NIGHT). The Earl of DERBY presented a peition from Lan caster against the renewal of the East India Company's Charter. The Earl of ELDON presented a petition from Rich mond, in Surrey, praying a revisal of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. Lord • TEYNHAIf presented a petition from the corn inspectors of Dublin, praying for a better intercourse be tween the inspectors of the two countries, iu order to im prove the method of taking the averages. The Earl of ORFORD presented a petition from King's Lynn, Norfolk, praying the abolition of the punishment of death for forgery. Lord CLIFFORD presented pe'itions from various places in Devon, and from Chertsey, complaining of the duties on coals. Mr. Crafer brought up an account of the quantity of Wheat imported for Horne Consumption. Earl STANHOPE presented a petition from die paper makers of Kent, praying the imposition of a duty on ma chinery. The NOBLE LORD also presented a similar petition from the paper makers of Surrey. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from Norfolk against the Matt Duties. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY gave notice of Lis intention to move, on Monday next, for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate compositions for tithes in England and Wales. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from the seamen of the River Tyne, complaining of dues exacted from them for the support of Greenwich Hospital. The Earl of DARNLEY presented a petition from Tullamore, in the King',, County, praying for the exten sion of Poor Laws to Ireland. The Earl of LIMERICK denied that the petition ex pressed the tense of any of the gentry of the place, and expressed an opinion that poor laws would be the ruin of Ireland. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented a petition from some individuals in Foxford, in the county of Mayo, praying an amendment in the law relating to ecclesiastical offences, so that there might be less difficulty in punishing debauchery when committed by a person in orders. The petitioners prayed this amendment in consequence of the bad conduct of a Protestant clergythan, whosa name we could not each, but there bring an informality in the prayer of the petition, it was rejected at the suggestion of the Duke of Rutland. The - NOBLE EARL then presented another petition on the same subject. On the question that the petition du lie on the table, The Earl of ELDON said it seemed to him to be a sort of Irish petition. It prayed their Lordships, as he un derstood it, to compel the clergy of Ireland voluntarily to enter into a composition for tithes. The question was negatived, and the petition accord ingly rejected. NATIONAL DEBT AND REVENUE. Viscount GODERICH said, after the time of their Lordships had been so long occupied with five petitions, one of which had been withdrawn and another• rejected, he was afraid that he could not expect that their Lord ships would pardon him, if, upon a . subject so -uninviting as that of public credit, he prefaced the motion with which he meant to conclude, by making some observations on the subject to which that motion referred. He hoped he should find an apology, and even a justification, in the fact that the subject, which was of great importance at all times, at present was by particular circumstances rendered so additionally important, as to compel and command public consideration. That the national debt was a sub ject of great importance no man could doubt, and at pre • sent it must be considered that its amount was so great that no less than half of all the money levied by taxation went to pay the charges for it. Owing to the great pressure occasioned by those charge•, our present system of taxation was very grievous, for it consisted principally of taxes raised at the moment under the influence of ne cessity, being intended to supply the immediate demand of the day, and little or no consideration having been paid to the ultimate consequences of taxes no imposed. The subject required additional importance at the present mo ment, by the circumstance that a large part of the corn :nullity was in great difficulties and distress, and looking with dissatisfaction and disfavour at what was supposed to aggravate the pressure of the public burdens. Ac cordingly it was found that many opinions were now pre. valent respecting the public debt, representing that the public suffered from the operation—that it was an into lerable grievance, and it was considered that the pressure was so great that no relief could be obtained, unless by laying ►iolent hands on the debt, and committing a gross act of injustice and spoliation on the public creditor, by forcibly diminishing the charge, and forcibly reducing the rate of interest. That he considered would he a most fatal event, leading to the greatest possible mischief, and there was no part of his Majesty's Speech delivered at the opening of the Session, in which be more heartily concur red, than in the last part, where his Majesty recommended Parliament, " whatever view it might take of the public difficulties, sot to lose sight of the importance of main taining unimpaired the public faith and the public credit." To that he entirely and cordially subscribed, and deeply should he lament it, if ever that advice were rejected by Parliament, and it should adopt the opinion that it was necessary to act in what he thought an unjustitiAle man ner towards the public creditor. It appeared that the view many persons were disposed to take of the National Debt, arose, in a great measure, front the actual pressure of the debt; but in fact, it arose ,from the wrong view those persons entertained of the possibility of diminishing or getting rid of the debt. In the first place, it was sup posed, that since the termination of the war, little or no progress had been made in diminishing, the burden of the debt, and it was represented as an act of insanity, as well as injustice, to attempt to pay off in a rectified metallic currency, a debt contracted in a depreciated currency. It was represented that all classes in the country had been for many years suffering under difficulties and distress, which were now at its acme: that the only class which had been free from these difficulties was the class of public creditors, who, it was represented, grew wealthy and profited at the expence of the other classes of the com munity. It was also said, that it had become nearly impossible for the country to go on under such a grievous burden, and that it was both unreasonable and unjust t► attempt to preserve faith with the public cre ditor in the midst of increasing difficulties and a continu ally failing revenue. The opinions were widely diffused— he had read them in many publications—he had seen them in resolutions adopted at public meetings, and he had heard them read in petitions at the table of that House. It was because he conceived that these opinions were founded in great errors of fact, and were supported by many fallacies in reasoning, and because he thought it might be shown that there were errors in fact and falla cies of reasoning concerning the National Debt, that he bad taken the liberty to call their Lordships' attention to the subject, thinking it of public importance to show that some current opinions wore extremely erroneous. First, as to the amount of the Nation d Debt, and the efforts that had been made since the war to reduce the charge. It was generally stated that there had been little or nothing done, and that the whole capital of the debt had not in fifteen years been reduced more than the sum of forty millions. If that were true, very little indeed had been done ; but it was inaccurate as to the fact. Even in looking at the question as to the amount of capital reduced, it appears from the figures that it amounted to sixty millions. But the great fallacy in this matter was to argue—and this was an aasumption continually made—as if there existed any such thing as a capital of the National Debt ; there was no such thing as a capital of this debt. He denied that there was any capital corresponding to the debt due to the public creditor. An ordinary debt was composed of ca pital lent to the debtor ; it was competent to the borrower to repay what he borrowed at his own convenience, and it was competent to the lender to demand back his principal. Of these two conditions only one was applicable to the National Debt. By the contract the State had entered into with its debtors, it had the right to pay them off whenever it was convenient or advisable for the State to do so; but, by the terms of the contract, the public cre ditor could never claim from the State a single shilling of what ha had advanced. The utmost which he was en titled to claim—and to that alone had the State pledged itself—was the payment of an annuity— (Hear, hear, from the Duke of Wellington.)—That was all the public debt consisted of, and the evil and pressure it caused all arose from the necessity of paying certain annuities, which were either permanent or temporary. That was what the contract specified. It was a great error to argue this important question on the supposed immense capital of the debt. The only question for the public was, in what degree the pressure occasioned by the charge for this debt was felt. He would compare, not the nominal amount of the debt, but the charge at different periods ; and he would compare it when the charge was . highest. There would be one ac count among those he meant to take the liberty to call for, which would put the facts on this part of the case before their Lordships, but he had been able to make out from documents laid before the other House of Parliament, some facts which would explain to their Lordships what that information would be when produced. According to the view he took of the debt, it appeared to him that the amount of the debt had been reduced very consider ably beyond the amount of what was ordinarily supposed to be the case. The year when the charge was the highest —the funded and unfunded debt being estimated together as they generally were in practice, and had been frequently 'connected in laws—the year when the charge for both funded and unfunded debt was the highest, was 1816. The total charge for permanent and terminable annuities, and for the expence of management for the public debt in 1816, was 30,618,055/. The total charge for unfunded debt for the same year was 2,290,6961. The total charges therefore, for the funded and unfunded debt at that period, was 32,938,7511., or very nearly 33 mil lions. At that period the charge was the highest ; and be would compare that sum with the charge now incurred for the payment of the debt. In 1829, the total charge for the permanent anti terminable annuities, and for the management of the debt, was 28,277,1171., being a di- ' minution, as compared to the same head of expence in 1816, of 2,370,938/. The interest on Exchequer Bills in 1829 was 878,4941., being less than the interest on Ex chequer Bills in 1816 by 1,112,202/. The total diminu tion of charge for the National Debt, as compared to 1816, being 3,783,140/. That was, he thought, a pretty considerable sum. Compared with the reduction which was usually assumed to have taken place, it must be found a great advantage. It was little or nothing to have re duced the nominal capital of the debt forty millions at three per cent., which would only be an annual saving of 1,200,0001. ; but by what he had stated, it would appear to their Lordships, that the actual saving was two millions and a half more. It was unfair, then—it was in fact an error, to describe the reduction of the debt in the common way, by the nominal amount of the capital reduced. But it would be taking an imperfect view of the subject were he not to refer to an operation which was then in progress, and which, when completed, as it would be in 1831, would make the diminution more considerable than he had men tioned. He alluded to the plan for reducing the Four per Cents. He had never entertained a doubt that this mea sure was practicable, nor had he ever entertained a doubt that it wss just.—(Hear.) A great clamour had been raised, and a great deal of nonsense had been both written and said, and several steps had been taken with a view to enhance the difficulties of the undertaking. or to defeat it altogether. Those efforts had been unavailing, and indeed it was absurd to suppose they could have been successful. That the measure was not unjust, the conditions of the contract would distinetly prove. The stock now re duced was originally the Five per Cent. Stock, and it was the same stock as was reduced in 1822, and then it was distinctly stated that it would be liable after a certain period to be reduced still further, if cir cumstances made it convenient. When his Noble Friend (Lord Bexley) carried that reduction into effect, with what he might call marvellous success—for it was as great a financial operation as ever was undertaken—the terms of the new contract were, that the holders of the Four per Cent. stock then created should be liable to have it reduced at the expiration of seven years.:That period ex pired in October, 1829, and that stock was now liable to be reduced whenever the Government might find the re duction convenient. If the Government had used any means to force up the stocks it might have been unjust, but it was impossible to believe that it had ever contem plated any such thing. If it could conveniently reduce this interest, the Government would have committed a great blunder, it would not have done its duty, if it had not carried the measure into execution. When that mea sure was completed, the saving on the interest of the debt would not be less than 778,0001. next year. Another saving made during the present year would be on the in terest of Exchequer Bills, which would not exceed 750,0001., being 128,0001. less than the charge for 1829. If their Lordships were to add the saving on the interest of Exchequer Bills to the saving by the reduction of the Four per Cents., their Lordships would find that the actual saving— The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that by a reduc tion of the interest on Exchequer Bills there would also be a saving. N iscount GODERICIL in contionation—That made the argument he was stating so much the stronger: but without including that, the reduction of the charge on the National Debt for tie next year, as compared with 1816, would not be less than 4,680,0001. It might be supposed that this was overrated, that something might be demanded for the dissentients, and therefore he would state it at 4,500,000/. This was, he contended, a very considerable reduction. The sum of 4,500,0001. interest Was equiva lent to a reduction of 150 millions of capital at three per cent. If in 1816 it had been stated that in the year 1830 the National Debt would be reduced 150 millions— if his Noble Friend near him, Lord Bexley, had then made such a statement, he would no doubt have been regarded as a visionary—he would have been charged with exciting false hopes, and of giving flattering accounts to delude Parliament and the country. It was, however, a fact, that in fifteen years the annual charge had been reduced 4,500,000/., which was equivalent to a capital of 150 millions—(Hear, hear.)—That statement would show their Lordships that it was a great mistake to assert that no progress had been made in reducing the charge for the public debt since the war. There were some parts of the Noble Earl's (Stanhope's) opinions in which he could not agree. The Noble Earl, with many other persons, saw it would be impossible, and was unjust to ccntinue to pay ' the interest of a debt in metallic currency, which hid been contracted in a depreciated et indard. If the statement on which this statement was founded was correct, he might admit the deduction ; but it was a great error to assume, as his Noble Friend did, that the whole amount of the debt was contracted in a de preciated currency—(Hear, hear, from Lord Bexley.)— Nothing so extravagant, though some people nourished all sorts of extravagant opinions, could be rationally entertained. Admitting a certain depreciation, as there was no real capital of the debt, its only effect would be to enhance tire charge for the debt. If he were to extend the depreciation over as long a period as possible, it would not amount to 20 per cent. on the debt, anti only amount to 20 per cent. on the whole charge. That would be the whole effect of the depreciation on the debt. His Lord ship here entered into a lengthened argument, to show that whatever the effects of the depreciation might have been on the debt, they bad been fully balanced by the re duction of the charge which had taken place sine the peace. He contended also that, in opposition to the ef fects of the depreciation, their Lordships should weigh the advantages of a low rate of interest, which had ena bled the Government to reduce the interest of the debt and save so much to the public. Low prices, of which some persons complained, he described as a benefit to-the community. With respect to the third point—that the revenue was continually falling—h e denied that this was the case; on the contrary, he showed, though several millions of taxes had been taken off, that the amount of Customs and Excise was greater in 1829 than in any former year. There being neither a falling revenue nor an increasing debt, he looked on the sources of the country as yet unimpaired—as able to meet all the burdens imposed on her, and to preserve her credit and honour unimpaired. He now begged to call their Lordships' attention to the last four years : from which he thought that they would perceive, that there was little foundation for the assertion that the revenue was falling off, and that there was no hope of getting through their difficulties but by making an inroad upon the public credit. With respect to the Customs, the average receipt for the years 1826, 1827. and 1828, had been 17,470,000/. ; while the receipt last year was 17,211,0001. From this it would certainly ap pear that there was a falling off of 250,000/. .But when that only occurred in a❑ account that embraced mil lions, he did not think that there was any thing in the circumstance to frighten one out of one's senses. If they would look to . the Excise, that presented a different result. The average for the years he had already mentioned was 19,456,000/., while the receipts last year had been 19,540,0001. For Stamps, the average PRICE 7D. on the three years was 6,83,6001:; while, for the last year, it amounted to 7,101.000/. The average bf the Asses , ed and Land Taxes dur:ng those three years was 4,773,0001., while last year it was 4,896,000/. The average on the Postage of Letters for the three years was 1,510,0001.. and lest year the receipts were 1,181,000/. —a small falling oft, but attributable, he believed, to some diminution in the charges on bills of extlhange, sae. rather than any fair falling off. But if they took the whole of these together, how did the case stand ? The whole of the average for the three years already stated amounted to 50,087,0001., while the receipts for the last year were 50,200,000/.—(llear, hear.)—But perhaps he might be tAI, in answer to this, that the revenue was now falling off.—(Hear, hear.)—He would adroit that it was so; hut he thought it was the height of timidity to he prophesying the most disastrous conae l uences because one quarter was falling in itc due amount. It was otily by the average of years, as be had done, that they had any chance of arriving at the real truth ; and though he admitted that every thing that could be done to diminish the expenditure of the country ought to be done, he did not think that it was by fear and trembling that they were to arrive at a happy result. If that were to be the course I:ensued by this great country, we should soon lid havitrg every puny whip stet. taking the sword from our side, and we should not long be able to bold up our beads in the Commonwealth of Europe. It might he contended against him, that although reductions had been made, it would not be in the power of Government to effect any more fur some years to come. That possibly might be correct ; but the deduction which he drew front that position was, that it was the imperative duty of the Parliament, and Still mere of the Government, to look with increased vigilance to the whole system of taxation, to see how far the revenue was diminished in consequence of the mode in which the tax ation was distributed, and to inquire to what extent productive industry was unnecessarily fettered. They were also bound to attend particularly to the question of how far any diminution in the ex penditure could he effected. In saying this he did not at all mean to charge the present Government with having neglected that consideration. In the situation which he had formerly held, it had been his lot to be fue . quently charged with profusion, and he had always pro tested against the justice of that accusation. So far from bringing the same charge against the present Govern ment, it appeared to him that the Noble Duke lad gone to work with considerable vigour, and the only doubt that he had on his mind on the subject was, whether the re ... . . ductions were not too extensive to leave the establishment sufficiently effective ; hut, of course, on this topic, the Noble Duke was a much better judge than he could pre tend to be. There was another topic to which he wished to allude, although it was not so strictly connected with the subject. He referred to the Exchequer Bills. Ile understood that the amount now outstanding in Exche quer Bills was twency.five millions ; of this amount he had understood that six millions had been held by the Bank of England ; but on inquiry he found that the amount the Bank held in connection with the Govern ment was only sixteen or seventeen hundred thousand, and that the rest had been purchased in the ordinary way in the money market. But even though this was the case, he thought that so large a sum as six millions, however procured, ought not to remain in the hands of the Bank, as, when the Charter of that Company came to be re newed, such a circumstance would be calculated vet y na turally to embarrass the Government in the consideration of that question. The remaining amount of Exchequer Bills ought also to be looked to, for in the event of any movement in the market, they might be found a very dangerous sort of security, as they were, to use a vulgar expression, a very ticklish article to have to deal with ; though at present, no doubt, they were a very eligible in vestment for money, and bore a high rate of interest. The Government was now empowered in employing all surplus revenue for the purpose of reducing the funded or the un funded debt ; and he, therefore, thought that it would act wisely in reducing the amount of the Exchequer Bills as rapidly as possible. He had now stated all he had to say; and in making the observations that had fallen from him, It's only wish was to have removed what appeared to him to be erroneous impressions. For his own part he could not see any thing to be alarmed at, and, with the excep tion of the pressure occasioned by the debt, there was no thing to excite gloomy apprehensions in the minds of any person. The reason why he felt most concerned at such views being taken by any person, was from the effect which the expression of them might have on other nations. If desponding language were to be held by this country, nothing but danger could surround her, and the alarm once given, he would not give many years' purchase for the peace of Europe. The consequence of this would he that England would be driven from her high station she bad hitherto held—an object at which all other nations thought that it was their interest to aim. The influence of England on the Continent was of course to a great ex tent founded on the confidence that foreign nations had in the honour, integrity, and good faith of this country; but all this dependence was essentially built on a conviction of our strength ; and it was because he felt that that strength was not yet assailed, that he thought those would find themselves in a mistake who should try to drive her from her position. England still, in his opinion, hail all her wonted resources within herself; and if the time should ever come when she was to be attacked, lie did not doubt that— ., Our castle's strength would laugh the siege to scorn." The Duke of WELLINGTON—He considered that the Government and the people were under the greatest obligation to his Noble Friend for the subject which he had introduced to their notice, and the manner in which he had treated it.—(Hear:) He should not mention the effect of the admirable speech of his Noble Friend, either by commenting upon its matter, or by repeating over again any thing that he had said. In general he agreed with all that had fallen from his Noble Friend, and he con gratulated the House in having laid before them so ad mirable a statement of the true state of the National Debt, and of the interest paid by the nation on that debt. There was only one part of the statement of his Noble Friend to which he must confess he could not give his entire con currence. The part to which he alluded was that in which his Noble Friend had, with his customary candour, commented upon that topic which usually went by the name of the equitable adjustment. His Noble Friend . had admitted that the increase of the debt was occasioned by the depreciation of the currency, and had stated the. amount of that at 20 per cent. It was certainly true that there was a large increase in the price of commodities during the depreciation of the currency ; but the allowance that his Noble Friend had made appeared to him to be a very large allowance indeed ; but, at all events, by the measures that had taken place, there had been an actual saving of one hundred and fifty millions to the country—a circumstance which ought to give them hopes that every thing that was required by the country might be done with good faith and honour, instead of resorting to the national bankruptcy that was recommended by some—be begged to say that he was not in this alluding to his Noble Friend, Earl Stanhope.—( A laugh.)—His Noble Friend had concluded by some observations on the Unfunded Debt. It was true that the amount of Exchequer Bills was 25 millions ; but of that four millions were involved in the public works, and there likely to be permanent, be side the six millions that were held by the Bank of Eng-. land ; so tl,at instead of 25 millions there were only 15 millions actually in circulation ; and it did not appear to hin► that that amount was too large, considering the pre sent state of the credit of the eountry. All these matters, however, would of course obtain the anxious consideration of the Government; and he was sure that the advice of his Noble Friend would have weight with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as with himself, when the sul.- ject came to be taken under consideration. He could not allow the excellent observations of his Noble Friend to pass without these few remarks, and hoped that it would be found that the speech which he had made would have its due effect both with the Parliament and the Government. Eatl STANHOPE said that he must contend, in spite of the flattering picture which the Noble Viscount had drawn of the strength of the country, that it would be impossible for it.in its present state to go to war. Nor could there be any hopes of its again returning to that con dition, unless a Bank Restriction was adopted. With re sptct to an equitable adjustment, he was a decided friend to that measure, and he must deny that he had ever said that such an adjustment would be inequitable, though he knew that such expressions had been attributed to him : on the contrary, he thought, that it would be an equitable ad.. justment to all intents and purposes, and it was for that reason that lie contended in favour of it. Of this he felt perfectly assured, that they must either proceed to an equitable adjustment, or n-” , 4 sent tl as aTteveti‘ess of the currency. - Lord BEXLEY observed, that the Nolii,! Lord near hitt, contended that the country could not go :a war without Bank restriction, so long a' the war might lo.t. Nsw thought that nothing, could b• more impolitic than sw.ch a measure: i* would be the most tifectull means of pre venting their going to Traro Lord CARNARVON said, that that ere:lit which the just confidence of mercantile men ertabled them to give each other in this country, was the cured ravens of keep ing the capital of the country in a state of activity, and gave ifs an advantage over the nations of the continent, which we ought not to forego by recurring to a paper cur rency.—The motion was then agreed to. Mr. Sheppard, from the India Board, presented papers by order of the House..—Their Lordships then adjourned. must OF COMMONS--(LAST NIGHT). Lord PALMERSTON reported from the Rye Election Committee, that the committee met this morning at the usual hour, but that in consequence of the absence of one of the Members of the Committee, (General Kin:, who was prevented from attending by indisposition), the Com mittee hod adjourned until eleven o'clock to-morrow, (this day.) A mediml witness having been examined as to the in disposition of General King, the Gallant Member was, upon the motion of Lord Palmeteton, excused for his non-at tendance in the Committee. Mr. H. DRUtIMOND brought up the Report on the Glasgow Royalty Extension Bill. After a few words front Mr. MAXWELL, the Report ‘ea agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be engrossed, and read a third tire. MEXICO. Mr, HtSKISSON had given notice far eveninz, of his intention to ptetent a "petition from Liverpool, with reference to the trade of this country with Mexico, hot he now rose to postpone it, in consequence of the unavaidabie absence of the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary for the Home Department. The question was one which in volved considerations of great importance ; and, as it rfit4 extremely desirable that the Right Hon. Gentleman's at tention should be called to it, he (Mr. Haskisson) leave to postpone it till this day se'linight, when that Right Hon. Gentleman would probably be in his place. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from the wool manuticturers and other inhabitants of a place in York shire, against the employment of machinery. Sir R. PHILLIPS presented petitions from Harerfecd• west, against the Welsh Judicature Bill. Mr. 11PKINNON presented a petition from Ipswicl • : against the Be!n. Bill. Mr. E. D. DAVENPORT presented a petition from Shaftesbury, praying for the abolition of the punishment of death in can s of forgery. The same Hon. Member presented petitions from t::e retail brewers of Manchester and of Rochdale, praying relief from certain penalties to which they were exposed under the existing law. Mr. P. THOMSON presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce, Manchester, in favour of a repeal of the usury laws, IRISH NEWSPAPERS. General HART presented a petition from the letter-press printers of Londonderry, against the proposed intvease of. the stamp duties on lush Newspaper.. The Gallant Member supported the prayer of the petition. Sir J. BRYDGES also supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. G. MOORE gave his cordial support to the prayer of the petition. Mr. S. RICE said so fir from an increase, a dir!►inn• tion of revenue would follow the imposition of additional duties upon the newspaper press of Ireland. Under the existing scale of duties, the revenge arising from the duty upon advertisements in Ireland had diminished latterly from 26,0001. to 14,0001. a year ; and if this measure were carded, the press of Ireland would be altogether annihilated. There was but one unanimous opinion amongst all the Irish Member, on the subject ; and though the press was the most powerful engine in controlling their actions, they were determined to resist any measure which went to impose any additional shackles upon. it. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the prayer of the peffities. The measure in question would annihilate the Irish preal. Mr. C. FERGUSSON, though he had not the honour to belong to the county from which this petition had come, felt warmly interested in the question, and he should certainly protest against the imposition of any ad ditional tax upon Ireland. The petition was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Colonel WI LSON presented a petition from the brewers and public-house keepers of York against the Beer Bill. Mr. R. DUNDAS presented a petition from the Lord Provost and Magistrates of Edinburgh against the tis upon surgeons' diplomas. Mr. C. FERGUSSON supported the prayer of the petition, which was ordered to be printed. Mr. DAVENPORT presented two petitions from places in Wales, against the alteration in the Welsh judicature. The same Hon. Member presented a petition from Nant w,ch against the Beer Bill. PROPOSED ROAD from WATERLOO-BRIDGE to the NORTH SIDE of the METROPOLIS. Lord BELGRAVE hal a petition to present on this subject which was entitled to the attention of the House. It was from the parish of St. Paul, Cureut-garden. The petitioners complained of thepresent very inadequate com munication between the northern and southern parts of the metropolis, which was only affirded by Chancery-lane, which was not at all fit for a thoroughfare ; and they sug gested that the opportunity which the thstruction of the English Opera-house presented should be seized to open a street opposite Waterloo-bridge for the purpose of affording the necessary public accommodation. He trusted that the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Lowther) would attend to the suggestion of the petitioners. Mr. HOBHOUSE said, that the improvement recom mended by the petitioners would be productive of great public advantage, and he trusted it would be carried into effect. He (Mr. Hohhouse) understood that applications hail been made to the Noble Lord opposite and to the Go • vernment on the subject, and that no difficulties had been raised by them to the proposition, provided Parliament should give a proper and ad.qu .te sanction to it. There was a very natural objection in the first instance to appro priating the public money to measures of the kind, as such heavy expences had been already incurred for other im provements ; but lie was sure that if Parliament voted a sum for this purpose, the new buildings iu the projected street would scion return enough to repay it. Lord LOWTHER was not disposed to deny that great public advantage and convenience would arise from making the proposed street, and the only difficulty seemed to be as to the party who should bear the expence of the projected improvement. He believed that the days of prejudice had gone by, and that there was one general opinion in favour of improvements such as were now in progress at Charing-cross. But it was to be recollected that the improvements in Regent-street, and in progress at Charing-cross, were upon Crown property, and that the proposed line of street in this instance would not be upon property belonging to the Crown. The Crown property in Regent-street actually returned at present 2i per cent., and he was sure the improvements at Charing cross would be equally profitable to the Crown. The property here, however, did not belong to the Crown ; it was not, therefore, for his (Lord Lowther's) department, more than any other, to interfere with regard to the pro posed improvement. There was a small portion of Crown property just contiguous to it, anti he believed that some of the houses in the line of the improvement' could be exchanged for it at a cost of about 2,0001. Indeed, he thought that for 20,0001. the intended improvement could be carried as far as the Dake of Bedford's pro perty. It lay with Parliament to decide as to the sug gested improvement, and whence the funds for it were to be derived. Sir J. YORKE had given notice of his intention to present a petition on this subject tonight; but as the subject was now before the House, lie thought he might as well take that opportunity to state the opinion of the pro priuturs of Waterloo-bridge with respect to it. The House was aware that upwards of 1,000,0001. had been expended on Waterloo-bridge, for which a very trifling re tin n indeed was now made by that prOperty. The money toads undoubtedly returned 5 per cent., but the shares did not return 1r per cent. The original shareholders, besides, had been completely cleaned out,—to speak ip the modern phraseology, they had been totally " cliane."--(A laugh.)—lf the Noble Lord, therefOre; expected that the proprietors of Waterloo-bridge would do any thing to wards effectirg this improvement, he had a very good chance of been disappointed. If gentlemen would but enter the door of the theatre, they would see a large space which had been occupied by buildings burnt down, as if done by a great operation of nature for the purpose. If he wished to make gentlemen perceive still more fully the necessity of making this gr- - nue to the north of Lou don, lie would take the tiOo-britlie, and make that structure I,ii'adeticate .irpose. The build ing,. of that bridge had created - rise in all the pro perty adjacent to it. It hadincreak?„, yr., value of the Crown property, and also that of the a.

It had also lieen of great to the Excise ; for the stone-masons, who during ita , astruaion had mind 255. a week, expended, to his personal know.
