j..ITERATtIRE. The L 0 o,lllated the LUG GER. A TALE. •Miss Martineau's seventeenth illustration of Political Economy bears the above title. Its object .is to show that a high duty on foreign manufactures, instead of protecting the home manufacturer, is in many ways hurtful to him, occasions him -to fall behind in the march of improvement, anti throws the import trade into the hands .of smugglers. The story in which these principles are developed is of very slight texture, but, nevertheless, is exceedingly pleasing. The following examination by a visiter of a school on the Sussex Downs is full of character : " The ladies are come ! the ladies ! and nobody at bonze but I and the dame,' cried Rebecca; and her news seemed to be received with nearly as much vexation by her father as it was related with agony by herself. " They will dodge the brats, and put them nut,' he growled in his deepest tone ; ' after all the pains I meant to take to-day, the little things will be out in their Bib',es, es, though they can 6 . y i t all with me.

GRIFFITHS, . longer on our table This little Work has been ve ec tr o u m st me t n h d at it th to e than we like to confess ; bu t cordiality with which we beg to ke up for our the notice of our readers , will ma. tardiness. The author's' desi g n is to inatruet the possessors of inco mes, var y in g frt. 'm 30 0 L to 3,0001. per annum, in what mann, lr they may lay out their money to the best advantage. The first heads are devoted to the necessaries of life ; the next to its comforts, and the last to its luxuries. We shall make a few extracts from each head. After speaking of the purchase of coals, the author thus discourseth on their con- Jumption With respect to the consumption of coals, a kitchen grace will require two bushels and a half per weak, but ab e ts ought only to be allowed one and a half or two on an average of the year. The cook should be instructed that when water is once made to boil, it requires the smallest possible addition of fuel to keep it boilng. t bas been proved that one hundred pounds of beef A myi be kept boiling hot for three hours by means of two and a half pounds of real in a confined place, so prepared as to prevent the radiating of the heat except in the required ,direction. U you cook by steam, the saving will be very great." The following account of the doings of silver smiths, will be new tottie greater part of our readers : " With respect to plate , one w ould be inclined. : o think, from its intrinsic value being uniform and fixed by jaw, that its price, especially in plain articles, in which faAey can have little concern, would also be nearly equal at dif ferent goldsmiths and silversmiths. Such, however, is now very far from being the case. Formerly, on account of the limited number of buyers of this article, the profits upon it were enormous, and were kept up at nearly the same level all over London. Lately, however, several gold smiths in the city have had the sagacity to see that We'er , iing the price of their commodity would pay them better than keeping it up, and have accordingly considerably reduced it. The intrinsic value of silver is something less than ss. per ounce. When manufactured, a duty of ls.6d. per ounce is imposed upon it, making the actual cost to the goldsmith somewhere about 6s. 6d. ; all above that charged in the price of a silver article is put upon the make, or fashion as it is called in the trade. If you go to buy plate at Rundell and Bridge's, or any other house, which keeps up the old prices, the addition to the price on this account, even on the plainest articles, will nut be less than ls. 6d. per ounce. Worn I say the plainest articles, I mean spoons and forks of the fiddle pattern, w h ich wwild not be charged to you at less than Bs. per ounce, awl et some places would be run up to 9,. and los. The other city silversmiths, of whom I have before spoken, will give you the very same article of any weight you' please at 1 7s. 2.1. per ounce. This difference is considerable; but when you come to articles of more elaborate worktvanship it is even more so, the charge on account of fashion made by the old silversmiths being commonly double the intrinsic value of the silver. If you have articles highly wrought or chased, there are no bounds to the charge for fashion, any more than there is to the price of a picture. Should you, however, confine yourself to the ordinary patterns, you will effect a saving of 50 or 100 per cent., and on some articles more, by not going to a house with a fashion.. able name."

Lord GRANVILLE and family arrived in rani., from London, on Monday laat. iMPERIALPARLIAMENT THIS DAY, FRIDAY, JUNE 21. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKZR took the chair at the usual hour. On entering the gallery we , found about fifty Members in the House, and Mr. DOMINICK RONAYNE addressing the House on the second reading of the Carlow, Kilkenny, and Clon mell Roads Bill, which we understood had been moved by Mr. Callaghan. Mr. Ronayne concluded his address by moving, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. An How. Alsmisica said he rose to second the amend ment, when The SPEAKER rose and said, before the Hon. Morn ber seconded the amendment proposed by the Hon. Member for Clonmel, it was necessary that the House should be informed of the state of the Bill. The Bill had passed through the House, originally, in the regular course, and was th en sent up to the House of Lords ; and if it had returned from the House of Lords without any amendment, as it bad passed through this House, there would then have been no opportunity for the Hon. Member to offer any further opposition to it. But in the House of Lards, as he (the Speaker) had been informed, an objection was made that the Bill imposed tolls on all par ties without any exceptions. A Noble Duke in that House, holding the office of Postmaster General, had ex officio objected to the passing of the Bill in that state, and proposed the insertion of a clause by which his Majesty's mails would be exempted from the payment of tolls. With this amendment the Bill had been returned from the House of Lords. Now one of two courses was presented to the choice of the House—either to adopt the amendment of the Lords, if it were reason able ; or, if the House considered that its privileges were assailed by the alteration of the Bill, then it was important to throw out the Bill, and bring i❑ another with the amendment of the House of Lords as an additional clause.—(Hear, Lear.) But in either case the discussions of that House would have to be confined to the new clause, and no Honourable Member could properly claim to he heard in opposition to that part of the Bill which had been previously adopted.—(l-I,ar.) Mr. RONAYNE said he had moved the recommitment of the Bill before it went up to the Lords. The SPEAKER felt he should not be doing his duty, unless he warned Members when a Bill was brought ino the House u, der such circumstances as the present, that they should consider whether they could, consistently with public convenience and public interest, preserve the principles of the House inviolate. Mr. D. RONAYNE then withdrew his amendment. KIRKINTILLOCH RAILWAY. Mr. DUNLOP moved the third reading of this Bill. Mr. COLQUHOUN moved as an amendment, that the clause which had been expunged on the second reading should he inserted. He was sure the House would not sanction a measure which would limit parties who were to use this railway to one line, and to prevent them the fair and equal use of the railway, which was desirable to all parties. Mr. DUNLOP said the expunging of the clause could do the public no harm whatever, and that in his opinion they would reap the same benefit front the measure in its present state, as if the clause had been left in. After some observations from 11r. Maxwell, General Sharpe, Mr. Stewart, and Mr. Macleod, Mr. Colquhon withdrew his amendment, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. SHAW presented petitions from Laxton and several other parishes in the county of Suffolk complaining of agri cultural distress, and praying for the repeal of the malt tax. Mr. COLQUHOUN presented a petition from the Committee appointed by the Presbytery of Scotland, against the Bill for the regulation of the stipends of Scotch ministers. The Hon. Member trusted that the Lord Ad. vocate wi.uld remove the objectionable clauses from the Bill. Mr. SULLIVAN presented a petition from Kilkenny, complaining of the conduct of the corporation of that town, and praying for an inquiry into the existing abuses. Mr. FINN supported the prayer of the petition. Sir E. CODRINGTON presented a petition, signed by 1,121 inhabitants of the borough of Devonport, pray ing that the beer houses might be placed upon the same footing as licensed victuallers. Mr. LENNARD presented a petition from the parish of Epping, complaining of that part of the Labour Rate Bill which restricted it to parishes where the poor rates were above ss. in the pound. Also a petition, signed by 679 members of the society called Friends, assembled in London from all parts of the country at their yearly meet ing, against the present tithe system. The Honourable Member said that he need not obs,rve to the House that that class of persons objected to the payment of tithes altogether, and consequently that they could not in any way recognise the propriety of the Tithe Com mutation Bill. There were parts of that Bill which he should feel bound to oppose, although the principle of the Bill was in itself excellent. Sir F. BURDETT said, considering the subject of the petition, he only wondered the petitioners were not more numerous, and that they did not get a great number of proselytes, for they were relieved from serving in the militia, from filling parish offices, and front other inconveniences to which all other persons were subjected, and which were in fact duties thrown upon society at large.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it was not fair or just to excuse one class of persons, however respectable, from those burdens that were cast upon others.—(Hear, hear.) He was of opinion that there ought to be some legislative ti ,iiictiatent by which all classes of society might he placed on the same equitable and just footing.--( Hear, hear.) Sir R: CHARD NAGLE presented two petitions from two parishes .n the county of Westmeath against the com tithes in support of the ecclesiastica pulsory payment Of establishment. Mr. HOPE JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the inhabitants of Westerkirk, Dumfriesshire, against the system of church patronage in Scotland. Mr. R. GRANT presented a petition from the Mayor, ,civic authorities, and other inhabitants of Cambridge and its; vicinity, members of tilt Association of Ra vocal Humanity against cruelty to animals. The beak h, comfort, and respect for the decency of so ciety, apart from any other motives, were sufficient to authoris,e some legislation on the subject.—(Hear.) He went furt,'ter, however—be held that all religion enjoined it as an irnoerative duty upon all to spare from unneces saty and seve re suffering that which was called the brute portion of creation, and that duty could not be withheld without a breach of mor-11 justice. Lord G. SOMIcIRSET acquiesced generally in the principles laid down by the H ,n. Member, but the state ments made by the society in question should be received with some degree of caution. Sir F. BURDETT thought the subject was nevertheless well worthy of consideration. Mr. PLUMPTRE supported the petition. Mr. LENNARD was one of a Committee with the Noble Lord opposite, and was satisfied that much of the evidence adduced proved the existence of much revolting treatment. After a few further observations from Mr. ROBERT GRANT, the petition was laid on the table. The Hon. Diember then presented a petition against colonial slavery from Montrose. Bit W, X , CQILBY gave notice that next session he should move for tlke total repeal of the malt tax. The Hon. Baronet also gars notice that he should, next ma i on , propose a resolution for the adoption of the House, that it was expedient, for the sates of the morality of the conutry, that the Bishops should be retaored from the House uf Peers. After Ike presentation of some other petitions, the Speaker left the Chair, ANSWER TO A CHALl'.El , ..IGE.—Through some mistake a gentleman in the south of Ireland led off the dglee at a country hall out of his turn. The person appointed .0 the post of honour challenged the intruder, and received the fc,l,lowing reply :—" I cannot understand why, because I opened a hill at night, a ball should open me in the morning." When the Duke of RUTLAND Sa.4B Viceroy of Ireland, Sir Jourt HAMILTON attended one PI hie Grace's levees, " This is timely rain," said the Duke ; "it will bring everything above ground." I hope not, my Lord," replied Sir JOHN, 0 for I have three wives there."

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. (Successor to Henry Co!burn.) *tin. ;44 ,‘ LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1833. We heard a report last night, traced to a communication from one of the Right Reverend Parties, and therefore entitled to some credit, which we sincerely hope is true, and which, if the fact should turn out to be as it has reached us, will both be gratifying to the public as proving the honest and manly feelings of the SOVEREIGN towards his people, and the entire confidence which they may place in his determination to support a Reforming Govern ment. It is said that his MAJESTY, as the Head of the Church, has addressed a strong letter of remonstrance, through the Archbishop of CAN TERBURY, to the bench of Bishops, and especially to the six or seven who distinguished themselves by their vote on the Portuguese Question, relative to their conduct under the present critical circumstances of the nation, ex pressing his surprise that t hey should expose them selves to the imputation of acting from factious and worldly motives,—thus sacrificing all claim to the respect of the religious community, and exposing the Church to the danger of losing its influence, by their being ultimately driven by the power of public opinion from their seats in Parliament, if their votes, as Spiritual Peers, were not regulated by more discretion, and at. tention to the signs of the times We repeat that we firmly believe some such letter has been written, from the tone of peevish ness and complaint in which the narrator made his confidential communication in the quarter from which the information most accidentally reached us. If the report be true, no friend of the KING would desire that so manly and feeling a proof of his anxiety for the welfare of his people, and of attachment to his Administration, should be concealed from the public. We rejoice to be able to state that there is every prospect that the differences on the Irish Church Reform Bill, between the Government and the Tory Peers, are likely to be accommo dated ; and though the principle of arrangement smacks of the nature of compromise, yet all sensible Reformers must concede that, in the present critical state of many important political and commercial questions, it is extremely desirable to avoid any unnecessary col lision between the two branches of the Legislature. So far we think the Ca binet are justified when the sacrifice is not too great—when the discount does not exceed means for which so re cently p r r ;s e e n r, t t . — o ct o tl e y n;l rt ea t v h o e ur dan b g y er all threatened the whole framf... of the Consti tution. We understand that the principal diffe rence between the Liberals and Illiberal on the Irish Bill, was the pr inci p le of the appropria tion of tae surplusproperty resulting from the contemplated refpop, 8 21(.1 eventu a l re d uc tion, ent : The origi iol a t i the a p p lrish a C t i h o u n r cl c. such purposes as P ar lia, la E tv, s e ta o b t hs tt Bill directs the surplus revenues to ment shall direct." The agreed alteration, which will satisfy the Conservatives, is reported to be the substitute of the words , " to such reli gious and pious purposes as Paritarnenz Omit di ts nati ona l asse t s —a original clause esta7 r b e l c is t he ." s Wa moste e o n i f t e n s i t hatta principl e , an d conce d e s the People. At the t ch u a s t t the Churchnepfirotpoerftythe sa me time it must be admitted th a t the pro posed purposes s more vernal th an rea l. All e utility i are " reli g i o us " and alteration o a f tio; ta i t pious'? purposes ; and f it pleases the emi• nently pious and religious Conservatives to preserve their prejudices and bottle up their consistency, by this substitution, the country will care very little about the " con cession " to Toryism. Moreover, the great gain of the Irish Church Bill is that it re cognises the principle of ecclesiastical reform and alteration ; in fact, it is good for little else, and its benefits are prospective. What becomes of the " surplus," if any, is of comparatively trifling consequence. The CARLTON CLUB cannot legislate for posterity, and very likely the said surplus, by some future Act of Parliament (in a House of Lords, where there will be no Bishops), will be appropriated to reduce the national debt. We, however, unhesitatingly admit that it is the duty and policy of Ministers to make any reasonable arrangement which can stave off a collision pregnant with extreme danger. The enlightened speech of the Bishop of LONDON last night on oaths proves that there is yet some hope in Israel. We promised yesterday to notice the manner in which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S Bank Charter plan affects private bankers, and announced that they had appointed Mr. MUN DELL, favourably known by his statistical and free trade publications, as their agent. We understand that their deputies have, besides, prepared a memorial to the Lords of the Trea sury, and have been so active in canvassing what Members of Parliament are in town as to have received assurances from many that they will op pose Lord A LTHO RP'S propositions. One of the main hardships of which the private bankers have to complain, is his Lordship's interference in the management of their private business. It may be necessary in the infancy of a sound system of banking, to create public security and confidence, for a bank to be compelled to advertise the amount of its paid-up capital ; but to say to a banking company that it shall be obliged to invest a portion of its capital in a particular manlier, is one of those absurdities, which, however natural in the reign of ELIZABETH, will astonish posterity as a pro position of the nineteenth century. The farce of the thing is, that, like most, we are tempted to say all, restrictions upon trade, it tends to de feat the very object it has in view. The object in view is to secure the customers of a bank. Of course their security is best attained by the prosperity of the bank ; and, by way of making it prosper, Lord ALTHORP proposes to divest it of the management of half its funds ! If a bank can make more of its capital by employing it in the concerns of its district, it is clear that a compulsory ap plication of it in another direction by the Government not only injures the trade of the district—not only lessens the security of its customers, but is an actual spoliatio❑ of the proprietors of that Bank—a spoliation for which they are more entitled to compensation than the slave-owners of the West Indies. If the interest of the Government securities in which it is proposed to compel them to invest their funds, were sufficient return for their capital, they would so invest it without compulsion. Besides, then, being a gross departure from principle—as gross as if we attempted to secure the creditors of a butcher or a baker from loss, by compelling him to invest a part of his capital in the funds— it is, we say again, a pure spoliation of the pro perty of those who have embarked in Joint Stock or other Banks. We understand that some country bankers, by way of compensa tion for the injury they will thus sustain, as also by the encouragement (THAT IS, UNFAIR ADVANTAGE) which is to be given to the circulation of the Bank of England, suggest that the capital of the Bank should be increased to a certain extent, and the new stock appropriated to the country bankers at par. That is to say, that, supposing the capital of the Bank to be increa , ,ed by 5,000,0001., the country bankers shall have it at that price, although worth upwards of 10,000,0001. This is all very well for the private bankers, but it only amounts to saying on their part that they will give up their opposition on condition of being allowed to share the public plunder with the Bank. But as we do not want the public to be plundered at all, we must beg to deprecate the adoption of this plan. We want to do away with, not to consolidate, the monopoly of the Bank. The joint stock banks have great cause to complain of Lord A LTHORP'S intention to make them find security for the amount of their issues, and not all other banks. On what principle of justice or reason re strictions should be imposed upon one class of banks, or o n on e p ar t of the country, which is not imposed on all in every part of the country, we cannot divine. Certain we are that Parliament will never consent to swallow, as a reason for the commission of so gross an in justice, the aggrandisement of the Bank of Eng land. If the opponents, upon principle, of the monopoly of the Bank of England, and the country bankers join in their opposition to the Government plan to-night, something may be done to avert the calamity which hangs over the trade and commerce of the country ; but we much fear that there is no disposition between the parties to concert a regular plan of operations. We have already hinted at one mode contemplated by the country bankers of getting themselves out of the scrape and leaving the public in it, and if we may take Mr. HUGH WATT, the Manager and Secretary of the Huddersfield Banking Com pany, as affording a true index of the state of feeling among country bankers, they would be happy, so that they could secure them selves, to throw London overboard altogether. In a pamphlet lately published by him on the " Practice of Banking in Scotland and England," he says with great naivete, " Although the exten sion of the Bank of England influence, and busi ness throughout the country, is to be deprecated, it does appear desirable that the Charter should be renewed, so far as regards the money trans the manage lane e t. i n o t n s of r t t h h e e n p i ti e h t r l ti t c p o I fiord , as d of the king dom." We, who live in London, think it just as desirable to have safe banks for its tradesmen to deposit their money in, as for the peo ple of lind4rsfield, Mr. WATT thinks it quite enough to provide a pountry ()Mee in the Bank of England for the security of country bankers ; but we want a Bank of Deposit with more than six partners, where London tradesm6n may, if they choose, lodge their money. We trust, however, that all selfish feelings will give way, and that the representa tives of the people will declare that the trade in credit khan be as free as the trade in bread or beer. Perhaps the best way of meeting Lord AL THORP would be, to agree to a motion which Mr. Pour.ETT SCROPE, Member for Stroud, has upon the paper to put the question off till next Session, and then appoint a Select Com mittee upon the subject. Sir RONALD FERGUSON, an old and upright reformer, has given notice of a motion in the House of Commons to-night, for the appointment of a Select Committee " to consider the Report of the Committee on the Warwick Election Petition." The Gallant General was the Chairman of the Committee, the Special Report of which un seated Sir CHARLES GREVILLE, and reported his agents for gross bribery. The evidence has been subsequently printed by order of the House, end a more flagrant case of Aristocratic influence and corruption was never exposed in Parliament. It was distinctly proved, and admitted by the agents of Sir CHARLES GREVILLE, that a large sum of money had been passed by checks from the Bank account of Lord WARWICK (brother of the Ex-Member, Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Warwick, and Recorder of the borough) to the Town Clerk, Mr. JAMES TIBBITTS ; and the needful was appropriated to these corrupt and scandalous practices. If such a shameful corruption, thus detected and exposed, is not thoroughly sifted and signally punished, the Reformed House of Commons will utterly for feit its character with the country. Not only punishment for the past, but security for the future, is demanded, at the hands of Parliament, and doubtless every independent Member will support the motion of the Gallant Chairman of the Warwick Committee. On the completion of the inquiry we shall give an abstract of the evidence; and from what has already appeared, this singular exposure will excite much attention and public observation. In no other instance has a great Leviathan been harpooned and brought on shore. Up to this time there are no official accounts from Oporto of the commencement of the em barkation of troops for the expedition against Lisbon. We understand, however, that the agents of Don PEDRO have received an account from Liverpool of the arrival of a vessel at that port which touched at Oporto on the 11th instant, and the captain of which reports that, at the time of his departure, the em barkation had really commenced. With out considering the information authentic, we may fairly regard it as extremely probable, as we know that the most experienced officers in the Constitutional service had pronounced their opinion in favour of an expedition by sea, and against any attempt being made by land. With a small force now disposable, the only circumstance which could justify a land in preference to a sea expedition is the known constitutional feeling at Coimbra. Should Don PEDRO, however, succeed in his dashing attempt upon the capital, Coimbra, and the whole of the country between Lisbon and Oporto, would soon rise in his favour. It is certain that many thousands will join him if he effects a landing at Lisbon, and as it is one part of the plan of the Constitutionalists to open as speedily as possible the doors of the prisons in which Don IVIIGuEr. has immured persons for political offences, he will, in that way alone, secure powerful co-operation, many of the prisoners being men of considerable influence in Lisbon, whose presence would immediately rouse others to action. General ROMARINO, who left England a few days ago with three hundred and fifty soldiers, chiefly Frenchmen, would, it was supposed, arrive in time to take part in the expedition : he is a first-rate officer, and well calculated to assist in a coup de nzain. Should the news we have received prove to be true, the expedition must have reached Lisbon by this time, and in a few days the fate of Portugal will be known to us. We need not say that we are most anxious for the success of the Constitutionalists ; at the same time, however, we cannot refrain from expressing our disapprobation at the encouragement which the EMPEROR is said to have given to a parcel of Intrigants, who care little for the interest of their country, so that they can realize their own ambitious projects. It is -a fact worthy of notice, that some of the persons now enjoying places of trust near his person, were most active in promoting the designs of NAPOLEON upon Portugal. The French Papers of Wednesday contain no news of importance, further than con firming the report, that in consequence of the retreat of IBRAHIM, the Russians will speedily evacuate Constantinople.
