"srl PORTUGAL. FALMOUTIi, FRIDAY, stnir 19. By his Majesty's steamer Flamer, which arrived here on Thursday evening from Malta, &c., we learn that on the 13th inst. she fell in with the fleet of Admiral Na pier, which had just come out of Lagos. They were too far off to have any communication, but the Admiral's flag was flying at the mast-bead of the Don John. Off Cape St. Vincent the Flamer fell in with the Donna Maria, which was steering towards the Tagus, for the purpose of commencing the blockade at Lisbon. The Captain of the Donna Maria stated that the most flattering success at tended the army, who were fast approaching towards Lisbon, and the inhabitants were rising en masse in favour of the constitutional cause. As the-Flamer passed Senna, that town was brilliantly illuminated. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, JULY 17.—The Journal le Phare says— " We learn from an authentic source that the cholera has again appeared at Utrecht and Rotterdam." BRUSSELS, JULY 18.—A person who set out on Sa turday for London with despatches from the King returned yesterday. The Conference is at present engaged with the exchange of the full powers of the Belgian and Dutch Ministers. The Moniteur publishes a statement of public revenue for the first three months of 1833, compared with that of the same period of 1832, by which it appears that there is an increase of 557,397 francs. BRUSSELS, JULY 19.—The Belgian Government has rejected the regulations agreed upon between the Dutch and Belgian Commissioners relative to the communications between Holland and Maestricht. Our Government in tends, before it permits this communication, to ascertain the fact that the navigation of the Meuse is perfectly free to its mouth. It is now &tine out a vessel for the purpose. Lord Durham, who left Brussels the day before yes terday, arrived yesterday at Ostend on board the Bruges boat l'Elrgante Messagere. On his arrival be was saluted with 25 guns from the battery No. 4, and by an equal number from his yacht the Louisa, on board which be embarked at ten o'clock. The vessel sailed at high water. Lord pinto, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary from his Britannic Alajesty to the Court of Prussia, arrived at Liege the day before yesterday on his way from Berlin to London. ANTWERP, JULY 17.—Above 100 English have visited the citadel to-day. Our hotels are crowded with stran gers ; several families are lodged in the Grand Laboureur. We know, says the Messager du Gand, that our ma nufactures passing in transit through Prussia are admitted in Holland, and we believe that it will be the same with those imported from Dunkirk, whe❑ the navigation between that port and the ports of Holland shall be re-established.—Brussels Papers, July 20. lIVIENNA, JULY 9.—A Spanish courier was despatched to-day to Madrid. The affairs of the Peninsula become more intricate, anti seem likely to lead to some collision. On this accout the exchange of couriers with Madrid is very active. The appointment of Marshal Bourmont, an experienced and enterprising General, to the command of Don Miguel's troops is universally approved here. The presence of the Marshal will contribute to bring the contest to a close. Five per Cents., 95 ; Four per Cents., 86i ; Bank Shares, I,234.—Allgemeine Zeitung, July 14. ' , • ..„.„ --. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the -Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, RT./. 20.—The Vestal, 26 guns (32- pounders), Capt. W. Jones, arrived on Thursday, from the eastward. She has tried her rate of sailing with the Serpent and Pantaloon, and the result was satisfactory to her constructor, Captain Symonds, who was on board. She is a very fine vessel for a small frigate, but how can it be otherwise when it should be known that, within a few tons, she is as large as the Macedonian, one of our first class frigates of last war ? The Serpent, 16, Commander Symonds, arrived on Thursday, from Chatham, and sailed to-day, for the West Indies. _ _ The Emulous packet passed through to the eastward to- day, to be repaired and paid off. The Neptune, 120, lately launched at this dockyard, is ordered to be brought forward for commission, and to be ready next month. The Laurel, 42, Jaseur, 18, Rose, 18, and Zebra, 10, are ordered to be brought forward for commission. The Pantaloon, 10, Lieut. Dacres, arrived on Monday from Plymouth, and proceeded on the same day to Jersey. The Wasp brig sloop of war, of 18 guns, was com missioned this morning by Commander James Burney. The Revenge, at Plymouth, has her lower deck guns out, and it is reported she is to take the 89th Regiment to Cork to relieve the '7oth, which regiment is to proceed to the Cape in the Revenge. The Imogene, 28, Captain P. Black wood, arrived at Hobart Town, from Sydney, on the 23d of February. The Rapid, 10, was paid off on Monday by Commander Swinburne, and was commissioned on the following day by Lieut. F. Patten. In Hamoaze—San Josef, Caledonia, Revenge, Endy mion, Forte, Pyramus, Romney, and Barracouta packet. In Harbour—Victory, Royal George, Excellent, Racer, Challenger, and Rapid. The Superb and Diadem freight ships have left the Cove of Cork ; the former for Canada, with detachments of the 15th, 32d, and 66th Regiments; and the Diadem for Ceylon, with detachments of the 58th, 61st, and 97th Regiments. The Marquis of Huntly, from Barbadoes, and the Arab transport, from the Mauritius, may be hourly expected at this port ; the latter having on board the crew of his Majesty's ship Badger, mooring vessel at the Cape. The John, convict ship, may shortly be expected here from the river, to embark 260 convicts for New South Wales. The Lloyds and Royal Sovereign are also fitting at Deptford to receive convicts, and the Isabella left Sheer ness for New South Wales on Saturday. APPOINTMENTS.—Commander James Burney, to the Wasp ; Lieut. J. M. C. Clive, to the Challenger ; Lieut. H. W. Parnell, Mr. A. H. Gilbert, Purser, Mr. J. Wes ley, Surgeon, and Mr. Charles Rankine, Assistant-Sur geon, to the Racer ; Mr. Robert Handyside, Assistant- Surgeon, to be supernumerary of the Victory. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) The Neva, convict ship, Surgeon Superintendent M. Price, arrived on Thursday from Sheerness, with 100 male convicts for Sydney. She will receive 70 convicts from the Captivity at this port for the same destination. Remaining in Hamoaze—Duck lighter. In the Sound--Pyramus, and Neva convict ship. On Saturday an inquest was held before Mr. STIRLING, at the Crown Tavern, Highgate, on the body of JAMES ROLES, aged 50, a florist in Upper Islington. On Sunday morning last the deceased and his son walked to London, and having returned home, they had some gin and water, which excited the deceased. A member of the Wesleyan Missionary Society called upon him, and reasoned with him on the sin of drunkenness. The deceased became very melancholy, and he retired to his bedroom, as it was supposed to reflect on what he had heard ; but shortly after, to the surprise of his family, be was found suspended by a cord from the bed post.— lierdict--" Temporary Insanity." On Saturday last an inquest was held at the residence of Mr. JOHN MURCOTT, in Warwick-square, Newgate-street, on the body of Mr. MORCOTT. The deceased, who carried on business as a newspaper agent ten years ago, and who was one of Alderman CROWDER'S executors, had lived 20 years in the neighbourhood, where be was much respected. About four months ago be had an attack of influenza, since which lie had been very low spirited, but he had frequently said to a friend that he looked upon self destruction as one of the worst of crimes. On Thursday morning he said to his surgeon, Mr. Goss, of Paternoster-row, that he bad got the blue devils, and wished to die. On Friday morning he threw himself from the second floor back window, and fell on the pave ment. His servant, MARTHA ARAIION, found him still conscious, and on being carried into the house he shook hands with her, but said nothing. He died in a short ti me . Verdict---Insanity. On Wednesday night last, as Mr. ROLE STONE, auctioneer, of Newton Bushell, was on his return from Torquay, and near Newton, he beard the cries of murder, and at the same time saw two women come out of a field and pass him on the road. He asked them what was the matter; to this they gave an indistinct gnawer. He then went into the fie!el from whence the cry proceeded, and near a hay-rick he found a man lying on his back, and his head bleeding profusely in several places, Itnd his pockets cut from his breeches, which con tained six sovereigns, some silver, and a note of hand for 1801. As soon as the man, who proved to be Mr. J. MITCHELL, Of Sidbury, was able to stand, Mr. ROLESTONE rode in pursuit of the robbers, but they had fled ; but the constables being soon on the alert, succeeded in appre hending three men and two women. Mr. ROLESTONE identified the women as the persons he had met coming from the field. They were all taken before a Magistrate on the following morning, and committed to the county gaol to take their trial at the ensuing assizes.— Western Luminary, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1833. A Morning Contemporary, in a long article on the affairs of Portugal, after several attempts to undervalue the victory of Admiral NAPIER, offers this exquisite piece of consolation to its pet, Don MIGUEL :—" In the meanwhile the Portuguese can expend the money which would otherwise have been laid out on their navy in guarding the vulnerable points of their coast, and giving more efficiency to their defence." It is clear that Don MIGUEL'S fleet was a great incumbrance to him, and his officers have done him good service by surrendering it to the enemy. Of course this refined piece of tactics not only gets rid of an expensive piece of humbug which absorbed funds that might more advantageously have been de voted to guarding the vulnerable points of the coast, and giving more efficiency to its defence, but transfers the burden to the funds of Don PEDRO, upon which it is expected to act like the present of an elephant from the Mogul to a private individual, ruin him. That we have hit upon the train of reasoning which passed through the mind of the editor of the Morning Post, when concocting the article which was to restore lustre to the brass of gentle LONDONDERRY, calm to the troubled counte nance of weeping ELDON, hope, with all its fond delusions, to the unhappy OUTS, is confirmed by the tenor of the sentence which follows the one we have quoted. Our conservative friend says, with a gravity which Sir ROBERT PEEL might envy, " It is generally thought that the capture of the ships will rouse the population and stimulate them to the most vigorous exertions." Don MIGUEL must rejoice at producing so de sirable a result at so trifling a cost, and we doubt not that Lord LONDONDERRY will, to night, in his promised motion for papers relative to the blockade of the Portuguese ports, turn the discoveries of our contemporary to good account. Whenever the report of the Committee on the East India Charter Bill shall be brought up, we perceive that it is Mr. WILBRATIANI'S inten tion to move a clause, " prohileiting the exclusive manufacture of salt by the Government of India." We hope, as a matter of principle, that the Hon. Gentleman will succeed in this motion; but al though we agree in much that is said by those Who oppose the monopoly in India, we can not deny that the practical evils which it inflicts do not appear, upon examination of the evi dence, so great as we had expected to find them. In the appendix to the Re venue Report of the House of Commons, on the affairs of India, is a report from the Board of Customs to Sir C. T. METCALFE, Bart., Vice President of the Council at Cal cutta, which argues strongly against the abolition of the monopoly. The Board of Customs contend that the price of salt is not enhanced to such a degree that the poorest parts of the population are not able to use and ac tually do use as much as if there was no monopoly, and that the Company cannot afford to lose the revenue it yields. The proofs the Board brings in support of this argu ment are certainly strong, but even if they were stronger, we should contend that the non-appa rent evils of the monopoly are greater than those which we have the means of calculating. Such has been proved to be the fact on the removal of all monopolies, and we doubt not that the same result would be manifested in the case of salt. But independently of the question of principle, which alone would be worth struggling for, there appears on the face of the evidence sufficient to justify Parliament in insisting that the revenue shall be raised in another way than by monopoly of the manufacture. The Board of Customs says " While we feel ourselves constrained to hold the opinion we have expressed, we are prepared to admit that our views would be materially modified if once we perceived any disposition to employ the article in question in large quantities for agricultural purposes and in the arts. 'We cannot but feel that, in sack a case, the impost on the article might be detrimental -to under takings in which it ought to be employed on a large scale. It is, however, sufficiently known, that we have no demand for salt in this country for the purposes contemplated ; agriculture and the arts are in too rude a state to create such a consumption." We conceive that in their present rude state they must continue as far as the use of salt is con cerned, if the present monopoly be kept up. The Board says, in so many words, " Salt is not now used in agriculture, and we will keep on a tax which will prevent its being so used." Since, however, the Board, whose reasoning seems to have prevailed on the Government to con tinue the monopoly, says that its views would be modified if they perceived a disposi tion to employ salt in large quantities, we will prove that such a disposition exists. That most unimpeachable authority, Rammohun Roy, in his answer to the fourth of the series of queries submitted to him on this very subject, says, " Salt being, as I have already observed, an absolute ne cessary of life, is now purchased even by the poorest individuals et the sacrifice of every other kind of seasoning and eatable but rice, the staff' of life. ' If salt were rendered cheaper and better it must greatly promote the common comforts of the people. Ido not know that it would immedi ately cause a very considerable increase of con sumption, but to a certain extent it would un doubtedly ; and from its cheapness its use may be again extended by the people in season. ing the food of rattle, for 'which purpose formerly large quantities tuere used." This unanswerably proves that the disposition spoken of by the Board of Customs not only exists, and has manifested itself, but was actually put down by the enhancement of price occasioned by the monopoly. But, putting aside the considerations arising out of the violation of principle and the injurious effects of the monopoly in checking agricultural and manufacturing improvements,we contend that it presses with a severity upon the poor which ought alone to compel its abolition. The witness we have already quoted, in answer to the question of the extent of the adulteration of the salt of the Bengal monopoly before it reaches the consumer, says :—" The adultera tion of the salt is carried to an enormous ex tent by mixing it with one-third, or even one half of earth, until, instead of being like salt, it more resembles the earth, of &tick it is com posed. Persons in comfortable circumstances, generally purify it by manufacturing it over again before they use it, or purchase it already refined, often at double the common price ; but the poorer classes cannot afford the expense of either." Elsewhere we learn that the price of adul terated salt, that is, of the dirt above described, at Calcutta, is about 2s. for 15 lbs., whilst that of pure salt, like the English, is about 2s. for 9lbs. Admitting that the visible evils of the monopoly are not so great as would be produced by a si milar monopoly in England, we think we have done enough to show that it is still too pernicious to be suffered to continue. There is a rumour in circulation that the Ministry have again made overtures to Mr. O'CONNELL to take office under it. We have taken some pains to ascertain how far this rumour is well founded, and can state that although it is not true that any offer has been made, a gentleman connected with the Government last week requested a Member of the House of Commons, who has great influence on the Li beral side, to ascertain how Mr. O'CONNELL felt as to taking office, provided he could be satisfied of the sincerity of the professions made by the liberal portion of the Cabinet with re gard to Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL'S answer has not transpired, but it is said by his friends that there ought not to be a doubt of his willingness to forego opposition to the Government, or even of his readiness to join it, with the view of giving it strength against the Tory faction, provided be could receive such pledges as to Ireland as would enable him to take office without exposing him self to a reproach of having betrayed the interests of his country. We understand that, at one of the Cabinet Councils, the Portuguese Question was again taken into consideration, and that shortly after wards, when the representative of the Regency in this country again applied for the recognition of Donna MARIA as Queen de facto of Por tugal, he was informed that, although nothing positive on that subject had yet been decided upon, the late accounts had materially improved the grounds on which the application was first made, and that, at no dis tant day, he might reasonably expect such steps on the part of our Government as would not only hasten the settlement of the question, but also place the co nstitutional Government in a position not to dread foreign attack or in testine commotion. As this occurred imme diately after the capture of the Miguelite fleet, but before the news of the popular demonstrations made in the Algarves and the Alentejo had reached England, it is but reasonable to sup pose that a few days will produce some decided step by our Government in favour of the Con stitutionalists. It is said, however, that the pos session of Lisbon by the liberating army, or its spontaneous declaration in favour of Donna MARIA is insisted upon by some members of the Cabinet as the justification of an act of re cognition by this country. The following are extracts from German Papers received this morning : MUNICH, Jinx 9.—Several new ordinances respect ing the University have been published ; among other things the wearing of the ancient German costume, and of German or French revolutionary colours, is prohibited. The police regulations relative to passports are very strict, not only for the students, but for all other travellers with out exception. Whoever goes a day's journey from his place of abode must have a passport. Some foreign stu dents have lately been arrested here. The domiciliary visits lately made in the lodgings of some students, have given occasion to a number of incorrect statements. The association of the students, called the " Ger mania," was dissolved in the beginning of 1831, in consequence of the disturbances in December, 1830, and the proceedings against the members and instigators of those disturbances were all concluded in August the same year. The domiciliary visits, could, therefore, have no connection with that subject. The object seems rather to have been to get possession of the papers of some students who had taken part in a society of that name, or one of the same nature, in other universities. The numerous arms of all kinds, said by the journals to have been discovered in their visits, were nothing more than some foils which the police appear to have taken away because the students were not to take their foils, &c., home, but to leave them in the fen cing school. • It may be further observed that there is no secret society here. The existing associations among the students are under the superintendence of the police. They were called on some time back to give to the Minister of the Interior a list of the members, with their statutes, and a declaration by the senior members on several points, on which they were permitted to continue. Though it has been publicly stated that many Bavarian students took part in the disturbances at Frankfort, more of those belonging to the University of Munich were con cerned in them, though it is true that several of them, by their correspondence with other universities, may, in that respect at least, have been implicated in an affair which has caused so much affliction to respectable German families. .

Up to two o'clock this afternoon, no informa tion had been received at the Portuguese Em bassy of a more recent date than that which is given in the Times of this morning, under the head of Fahnouth. Despatches are hourly ex pected, as at the date of the last accounts, the Constitutionalists, nearly 9,000 strong, including the Guerillas and armed peasants, were march ing in two divisions towards Lisbon. It is understood that the Lords will pass the whole of the Irish Church Reform Bill, quietly, except the clause relative to the Suspension of Limngs. This they are determined to oppose with all their power, and of course successfully. It is not known whether Lord GREY will give in on this one clause or not.—We sincerely hope he will be firm. French Papers of Friday and Saturday have been received, but they contain little news of foreign interest. By accounts from Lyons, dated the 17th instant, the weavers and their masters do not appear likely soon to come to an accommodation of their differences, the principal manufacturers having declared they would not consent to an increase of wages.

The tide of emigration is beginning to flow in Quiequa. At the commencement of the navigation yester day, the arrivals have brought upwards of 1,000, and up to the present date the number arrived may be estimated at 10,000, and is expected to reach 25,000 before the termination of the season. The Halifax and New Brunswick Papers are not of interest. They say from Halifax, that the proposed Government plan for the slave emancipation has created great alarm among those connected with the West India interest. THE FUNDS. At present we have no direct intelligence from the theatre of war in Portugal; but by the accounts brought by the Captain of the steamer who is arrived with the Malta mail, it appears she fell in with Admiral Napier's fleet, on the 13th, proceeding to Lisbon ; therefore, in all probability, we shall not have any decisive information respecting the fate of the Portuguese capital for a few days to come, for should it be attacked, it will be a combined operation by sea and land. Accounts also state that Marshal Bourmont hap arrived at Lisbon ; if so, we may expect some severe fighting there, as well as at Oporto. Accounts from Madrid, in the French papers, if they can be credited, state that new ministers were going to be appointed, owing to the affairs of Portugal, and the discontent of the public, which caused Zea Bermudez and Ofalia to lose their popularity with the King. It is stated that Borcelage, the Minister during 1823, is to replace Zea Bermudez, and that Argena is to succeed Ofalia. Castro Torrenno, Captain General of Castille, is to be Minister of War. Consols opened at the price they left offon Saturday, 90 X X for the Account, with little doing as yet. The Foreign market also continues in the same state as on Saturday. It was discovered this morning that the subscription room at Lloyd's has been robbed. Various drawers have been broken open. The amount of the robbery is not yet known. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we have no fresh arrival from Por tugal, but a steamer is hourly expected. There has been some fluctuation in theConsol market during the morning. Consols, which continued steady in the pre vious part of the morning at 90 X %, have receded to 90 X X We understand that Mr. Rothschild's Greek Scrip is in de mand, and bears a premium of from 6 to 7 per Cent. As a report prevailed in the House that Don Miguel had succeeded in taking Oporto, Consols at present may be quoted 90%.

It is a few weeks more than seven years since the ground was broken for the undertaking. The winning was celebrated by ringing of bells, a general display of flags, &c., and re freshments were liberally supplied to the workmen. The coal is to be called the Nottkwearmouth Walleend.—Netv , o.tlo Chronicle. INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.) John Smith, a publican at Tunbridge, Kent, came up on his petition to be discharged. According to the insolvent's state ment, his father died when he was a child, and his mother again married a person of the name of Chevring, when he was about sixteen years of age. Under his mother's will he was entitled to a house, which, however, Chevring got pos session of, and continued in it long after the insolvent came of age. In 1823, the insolvent agreed to give Chevring 400/. for the house, 200/. in money, and the rest secured on mortgage. Notice of a Chancery suit, arising out of this, having been given him, in February last he came to town to see about it, and was arrested by Charles Thompson, a publican, in the Camberwell-road. A copyhold estate worth about 2004 , was put into the schedule, as available to the creditors, the title deeds of which were stated to be in the possession of the insolvent's former attorney, who had no lien upon them, but it appearing that that attorney was acting for the party who had tiled the bill in Chancery against him, the case was adjourned, in order that inquiry might be made into the matter. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Last week the arrivals of grain in general were moderate, and the trade throughout was dull for the sale of most articles. This morning there was a considerable fresh supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and moderate quantities of other Corn. The weather has been very wet all the morning, notwithstanding which the demrnd for Wheat did not equal the: quan tity for sale, and the trade is reported Is. to ‘2s. peril quarter cheaper than this day sennight.

THE WEST INDIA COLONIES. —• This morning a very numerous meeting of West India planters, mortgagees, and others interested in Colonial property, was held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, for the purpose of hearing the report of the Committee of Deputies read, which, as far as it went, seemed to be satisfactory ; but , after a lengthened discussion, some re solutions in reference to ulterior proceedings were adopted , and the meeting adjourned. THE BOURBONS.—A fatality resembling that which pursued the unfortunate family of the house of STUART seems to be attached to the BOURBONS, and origi nating in the same cause—a mental weakness, which leads its members to yield to the baneful influence of designing favourites. The unfortunate CHARLES X. has just fur nished a new proof of this, by sacrificing Monsieur de BARANDE, the enlightened and liberal minded pre ceptor of the Due de BORDEAUX, to the intrigues of the Jesuitical triumvirate--BLAcAs, Maims, and SATIL—a trio, who have retrograded instead of having advanced with the march of intellect, and who have replaced Monsieur de Barande by the Pere Deplace, a Jesuit, and professor at St. Acheul. The whole of the royalist party in France are in despair at this measure, as the acquirements, general knowledge, and liberal princi ples of De Barande had gained the confidence and respect of all well-wishers to the family of Bourbon, who felt confident that under such tuition this promising youth could aTdoiep t s foranmo t fail ehibslignrd t a o becomennedsssonthaant educationl e all d th at Charles France that c X . must ous o t ud desire. the l forweakever policy by which he lost a kingdom, now leads him to disable him from possessing one ; as modern France will reject a pupil of the wily Jesuits, who are, and with just cause, held in abhorrence by all the sensible part of the nation. It is melancholy to see this infatuated old man, not content with having ruined himself and his son, now perpetuating the ruin of his grandson—the last hope of the royalists—by placing hint in the hands of the very party that France forced him to banish. There are not three men more justly odious to the whole notion than BLACAS, DASIAS, and SATIL, the triumvira te who g overn the weak-minded CHARLES X ; and to whose intri g ues D t E three the enlightened, clever, and liberal-min d e d DE BARANDE g h r a e s a b t e n e a n tu sa ral crifilidlitielThheasDaumc d p e ly ß p o rofied AUX b , y gi t f h te e d wi th a years' tuition he has received from his late preceptor, to whom he is cordially attached, and whose departure has plunged him in the deepest affliction.— The Town. HIS PRESENT MAJESTY AND THE TURF.— Some amusing anecdotes are on record touching the rather incongruous association of our sailor King with the Turf, one of which we will venture to repeat. Previously to the first appearance of the Royal stud in the name of WILLIAM IV., the trainer had an audience of his MAJESTY, and humbly requested to he informed what horses it was the Royal pleasure should be sent down ? 4 , Send the whole squad," said the KING ; " wine of them, I suppose, will win."... Quarterly Review. 1 ...; • '4.1 IL IMPERIALPARLIAMENI THIS DAY, MONDAY, JULY 22. HOUSE OF COMMONS. At the usual hour of opening the gallery, we found abou t forty Members in the House. Sir E. CODRINGTON presented a petition from t he , Watennen and o th er i n h a bi tants of t h e towns of Gravesena, and Milton, complaining of the injury already occasioned ° the putting up of the temporary pier, and praying for the inter' position of the House. The Hon. and Gallant Member a ported the prayer of the petition. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from the classical and theO' logical tutors and students of Stepney College, praying for the adoption of an improved registration of births, and complaining that the rites of sepulture were refu se d to the infant children' ( Baptists, by clergymen of the Church of England. Of lion. Member enumerated many grievances which (1 311 ' arose out of the present system. He also presented a pe t ' tion from the Protestant Dissenting Congregation of Chapel, Liverpool, praying for a reformation in the Chao of England. Mr. INGHAM presented a petition from Westoe, fle a ! Shields, against the Vesting of Tenements Bill ; and a pet" tion from the Churchwardens and other Inhabitants of South t Shields, praying that merchant seamen may no longer be calle 4 upon to contribute sixpence per month out of their wage' for the maintenance of Greenwich Hospital, from whenc e ' in cases of sickness or disablement, they were not entitled to receive any relief or assistance. The Honourab le Member condemned the injustice of this impost, which tool' from the most distressed class of his Majesty's subjects—(Bea r, hear)—about '25,000/. a year. With equal justice, he said , Mr. Telford, Mr. Rennie, Mr. Macneill, or any other eminen t engineer, be called upon to contribute to the half-pay of th e artillery. He hoped the Hon. Member for the city of Londo n would persevere in his intention of bringing the matter uncle the consideration of that House. Mr. LYALL expressed his determination to do so at the earliest period. Captain DUNDAS said whenever the matter came befor e the House it should have his most decided opposition, becaus e ' he knew the money would not go to the benefit of the searneit. Mr. LYALL assured the Gallant Member that he waii quit e mistaken; not a shilling of the money would go otherwise 0 0 into the pockets of the seamen. Mr. WILKS begged to inquire if it was the intention of the Hon. Member for the city of London to combine with his W e ' tion a general review of the maritime regulations of th e country ? Mr. LYALL said the matter was one of much impottanc e r and he was not prepared to say that he should go the lengt h contemplated by the Hon. Member. Mr. WILKS said it was the universal opinion of all will' whom lie had conversed, and in particular of two Gallant .0 mirals, whose information on such subjects was dull prized by the House, that it was absolutely necessary the whol e system of maritime law should undergo revision. The seame n of this country, upon whom its wealth and glory must depend' were in such a condition as to demand th e most search i ng a n immediate inquiry.—(Hear, hear.) He should be sorry if the task would not be undertaken by others ; but if no othe r . Hon. Member would make it a subject of legislation, he himsel f would bring it before the H ouse i n the next session ; and , it devolved upon him, he hoped to receive the assistance of those Hon. Members who had the welfare of the shipping terest of Great Britain at heart, and that the Admiralty woo l ' also lend its powerful aid. After a few words fromthe SPEAKER and Mr. MIEREROggi gi on a point of order, Sir M. W. RIDLEY said he could assure the Hon. Id Gallant Officer opposite (Captain Dundas) that every sixpent4 raised from the merchant seamen of the port of Newcastle W° distributed among that class of men. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. LYALL presented a petition from the merchant* shipowners, and others, in the City of London, e p :" gaged in the trade with the Brazils, complaining 7, being prevented from disposing of their sugars, which there was a large quantity in bond, in eon s ' quence of the restrictions against refining them for e % ; portation, and praying to b e a l lowed to import in bo n' refine, and export foreign sugars. The Hon. Member tit sured the House that the present restrictions were greatly i t ; jurious to trade ; and although it was objected that by grantiPs the prayer or.the petitioners, the West India interests had be ° affected, he contended that no such injury would result. Mr. N. FELLO WES presented two petitions from places 1° the Northern division of th e county o f D evon, pray i ng tbe , modification of the Tithe Commutation Bill. . Lord EBRINGTON said he had been requested to sof; port the petitions, but although he thought the Bill was so satisfactory as it might be made, he could not concur in **, the views of the petitioners. His Noble Friend (Lord AlthorP who had brought in the Bill, had consented to withdraw e, compulsory part of it, but he (Lord Ebrington) would actrw the withdrawal of the whole of the measurefor the present 5e :,; sion, with the view of appointing a Select Committee to inilut.` into the subject, so that a perfectly safe and satisfactory measn' , might be introduced next session. Mr. C. M. PHILLIPS presented a petition from Cast Dorrington, praying (as we understood) for the withdrawal troops from the West Indies. Mr. CLAY presented a petition from an individual mul l Henry Dundas Perrott, formerly a Lieutenant in the na° who complained that he had sustained great injuries. Mr. LITTLETON interrupted the Hon. Member, and _ °/1 ' served that it was usual to give notice to his Majesty's te' vernment in such cases. Mr. CLAY said he had both spoken and written to the Fi Lord of the Admiralty, stating his intention to present th, petition to-day.---(Hear.) The petitioner complained of havi e ; been struck off the list of Lieutenants of the', Navy. 1 11 , 11 circumstances were these :—ln March, 1812, Lieutenant peas was convicted at the Maidstone Assizes of a mist le, meanor in obtaining 201. for having given a protection ..`; one Bullin, a master mariner. He was convicted, as P i affirmed, in consequence of not being permitted to take a at of the indictment, so that he could no t b e p re p are d with Sit`; messes 1 's:O ,A nesses to rebut the charge. After some months' i m p r i son ' the party on whose evidence the conviction was obtain , .' , died, and consequently a bill of indictment c o uld not be Pthws ferred against him, and on Lieut. P erro tt' s apply i ng to t:A Court of King's Bench, the Judges r everse d the sentence 17, judgment that had been g i ven aga i nst him. Upon t t o strength of that judgment the petitioner applied f A the Admiralty to be restored to the navy, but was told ti t the reversal having proceeded upon technical grounds, his l e ; storation could not take place. In July, 1825, he procure"o , restoration of a pension of 2s. fid. a day, which he would In t " been entitled to under th e regu l at i ons o f t h e serv i ce had been only a Midshipman. The Hon. Member then went on state, that affidavits were in existence proving positively O d other persons, who were now d ea d, were gu ilty o f th e forge.," attributed to the petitioner, and concluded by trusting that vv House would consider he had made out a sufficient case for consideration. Mr. ABERCROMBY thought the best course for the 14 Member to pursue would be to bring up the petition, and 10 a notice of some specific motion on the subject. Mr. T. ATTWOOD thought the case of the petitioner t l e of signal hardship, and could not help stating his firm W il c o to be that the petitioner was the victim of personal malice 0 , I the part of some of the late members of the Board of Admira l:, Sir E. CODRINGTON supported the prayer of the petiti l ' The Gallant Admiral thought if the House looked at the ntlif ber of pensions that were given for doing nothing—(Heq l hear)—they would consider it a great disgrace to take fr this poor man his paltry pittance. Sir JAMES GRAHAM was sorry the case had been broti fi before the House, inasmuch as it would ren d er it iMper/t; i. upon him to make statements that would not ; be very pleal e i to the feelings of some parties. U p t o 181 2, he admitted .0 petitioner had conducted hims e lf i n th e mos t becoro4l, manner, and had done a great m a ny ga ll an t a ctions, d , : in that year he h a d been tried at the Old 80, p for obtaining money under false pretences from the wife 0 4 seafaring man named Buller, he having represented to her P i o he was able, through the instrumentality of some relatiollo the Admiralty, to relieve her husband from impressment. 4 / , was convicted of this, but some objection being taken to 'a, indictment, that point was reserved for the consideration of 12 Judges, who decided against the validity of the indicts l o and the petitioner obtained a reversal of his sen t ence oft o years' imprisonment. In consequence of his conduct, 4$ name had been removed from th e Navy tist. In 1823, .p$ petitioner presented a petition to the_ Admiralty Board too; restored, which was referred to Counsel, who od Y5 the Board not to acce d e to the request of the petitioov , The petitioner now stated that he had fresh grounds, ba t (Sir J. Graham) after having given the oubject his best G ri l l sideration, felt compelled to come to the conclusion that sp d petitioner had been guilty of the charge imputed to, hits, ; h ill he, therefore, could not consistently with his duty to the pow advise the House to accede to the prayer of the petition. of Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY and Mr. O'Dwita supported petition. -40° After the presentation of several other petitions the SP OW left the Chair.
