These negotiations had since been concluded, so that he saw no reason for withhold ing any portion of the correspondence which led to them. 2 A YIEWS of CALCUTTA and SYDNEY are exhi- It'ng at the PANORAMA, LEICESTER-SQUARE.

A letter from Grenada states that a private of the 12th Regiment in garrison there, had made a con fession before the sitting Justices of . having participated in a murder the county Tipperary on the 10th of June, 1827. He had been committed, and will be sent home for trial. The Earl of WICKLOW expressed his astonish ment at the statement of the Noble Viscount, who seemed to hare taken it for granted that the mea sure of last Session had totally failed in tranquillizing Ireland. Now, he had been in that country during the whole-of the-summer, and acting, too, as a Ma gistrate, and he would nate that the good which had resulted to Ireland from that measure, far, very far, exceeded what could have been expected in so short a time. After a few words from Lord Viscount LORTON and Viscount CLIFDEN, the petition was laid on the table. BOG DRAINAGE BILL. The Marquis of DOWNSHI RE having briefly pointed out the advantage which would be derived from affording employment to the poor of Ireland, by making a provision for the drainage of bogs and wet lands, moved the second reading of the above Bill. The Earl of WICKLOW opposed the Bill, on account of the objectionable nature of some of its clauses. The Bill was then read the second time. To be committed on Thursday. ABOLITION OF FEES BILL. The Earl of DARNLEY said, as he understood that the Bill for the Abolition of Fees on the De. mise of the Crown was likely to encounter more opposition than he had been aware of, as it was said that the principle of the Bill would give rise to much discussion on the part of Ministers, he cer tainly would not press the Bill further than the second reading. He was anxious that the Bill should pass through that stage sub silentio. The Noble Lord then moved—" That this Bill be read the second time." The Marquis of SALISBURY did not rise to discuss the merits of this measure, but he merely wished to guard himself from being supposed to give his assent to the Bill because it passed the se cond reading sub silentio. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not rise to do that which, for obvious reasons, none of their Lordships could wish to be done—he did not rise to advance any argument either as to the principle or the details of the Bill; but he could not allow the second reading to pass, under circumstances of which they were all well aware, without making a remark on one particular point. After what the Noble Earl had said, from which it might be in ferred that this Bill would not, perhaps, again be come the subject of discussion in that House, he did hope, if it should not, that the regard which they had for that numerous body of people whose interests were likely to be grievously affected, in consequence of the Government and the Legislature not having adverted to this subject sooner, would in duce Parliament to protect them from that injury which they must otherwise sustain. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, it seemed to be supposed that there was, on the part of the Ministers of the Crown, an objection to the prin ciple of this Bill. He did not know that such an objection was stated any where. Certainly, it was not made by him, nor by any of those who acted with him, to his knowledge. He undoubtedly felt objections to some of the details of this measure, which he would mention when the proper time ar rived, but he did not object to the principle of the Bill, and as to the part of it which related to per sons to whom the Noble Marquis had particularly adverted, he had no objections to agree to an ar rangement with respect to them, whenever it was brought forward. He, however, repeated that he had objections to other parts of the measure which he would state at the proper time. Earl GREY expressed himself pleased to hear the Noble Duke say he was favourable to the prin ciple of the Bill. He also approved of the principle, and only regretted that it had been left to this period to carry it into effect. Earl BATHURST said that he approved of the principle of the Bill. After a few words from the Earl of ELDON, in explanation, The Earl of DARNLEY said, that he would re serve to himself the privilege of moving for the committal of the Bill at a future period. The Bill was then read a second time. The House then heard evidence on the East Ret ford Bill until the usual hour of adjourrurfent. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(LAST NIGHT.) A person from the office of Woods and Forests presented the 7th report of his Majesty's Commis sioners of Woods and Forests. Mr. SYKES presented a petition from Hull, praying for the abolition of negro slavery, and com plaining of the delay which had taken place in carry ing into effect the resolutions agreed to by that House in 1823. Also a petition from the same place, praying for the repeal of the stamp duty on receipts under 101.—To be printed. Mr. CURTEIS presented a petition from Brighton, against the punishment of death for forgery. Mr. KEKEWICH presented a petition from chymists and druggists of the city of Exeter, praying for the repeal of the Medicine Stamp Act.—To be printed. Mr. G. DAWSON presented a petition from Londonderry, earnestly praying the House that. the intentions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to raising the duties on spirits in Ireland might not be carried into execution.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. G. DAWSON presented a petition from Londonderry and Donegal, complaining of the pre sent constitution of the Manor Courts of Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL knew the allegations of the petition to be true.—The petition to be printed. Sir G. HILL presented a petition from the Cham ber of Commerce of Londonderry, praying for free trade with India.—Referred to the Committee on the East India Charter. Sir G. HILL presented petitions from the same body against the duty on coals carried into Ireland, and against the increase of taxation in Ireland, espe cially in stamps on newspapers.---To be printed. Mr. C. N. PALLMER presented a petition, the nature of which we could not learn, and it was not read by the clerk. Mr. Alderman WOOD had yesterday named Thursday as the day on which he should move for Jury Courts of Scotland since the establishment thereof, distinguishing the number of cases in each of the classes he had just enumerated.—Agreed to. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the chemists and druggists of Manchester against the Medicine Stamp Act. Mr. F. BUXTON moved that an address be pre sented to the Crown, for copies of all informations received by the Government of India respecting the agnount of tax levied on pilgrims to the Temple of Juggernaut.—Agreed to. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from a parish in the county of Z ipperary, against the in crease in the taxation of Ireland.---To be printed. The HON. MEMBER also presented a petition from inhabitants of London and Westminster, members of the Metropolitan Political Union, complaining of the conduct of this country with regard to Greece, and praying that there might be no; further inter ference on our part in the affairs of that country. Mr. HUME regretted that, after we had with drawn from the Holy Alliance, we should have thought of interfering in the affairs of other nations. The late Mr. Canning had fallen into a great error with regard to Greece, and the Government had acted on that error since the death of Mr. Canning. He hoped that now, at least, though it was late, Greece would be left to choose what Government it liked best, and that we should not persist i❑ at tempts to force a King upon that people. Mr. HOBHOUSE concurred in what had fallen from his Hon. Friend the Member for Aberdeen, except, indeed, in thinking that this country was against any further interference. He agreed that it was a most fortunate thing that Prince Leopold had refti , ed to concur in our forcing him on the Greeks, and he thought the people of this country were of the same opinion. After a few words from Mr. IL GRATTAN, Mr. O'CONNELL, and Sir It. PEEL, Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that he would revert to the subject on Thursday. STAMPS ON MEDICINES. Mr. HOBIIOUSE had a petition to presen from a most respectable body, the chymists and druggists of London, Westminster, and Southwark, complaining of the vexatious operation of the Law which imposed Stamp Duties on certain kinds of Medicines. The petitioners complained that the distinction made by the Act, the 23d Geo. 111., be tween patent medicines, proprietary medicines, and medicines sold as nostrums or specifics, were not kept up ; but that, contrary to the intentions of that Act, stamps were now required on ordinary medi cines, the prescriptions for which were to be found in the Pharmacopoeias of London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. There were several Acts afterwards on the same subject, but that of the 42d Geo. 111. was the chief; and under the operation of that Act, in Ihe schedule of which were included many medicines which it could not have been the intention of the Act to have stamped, the chymists and druggists suffered great annoyances, as penalties were sought and recovered for the sale, without stamped labels, of medicines which were quite common and in every pharmacopeia. But a great cause of complaint was the uncertainty respecting these penal proceedings. In some cases, the Commissioners of the Board of Stamps remitted the penalties at their pleasure. Some of the parties against whom process was instituted remained quiet, sad the proceedings were not followed up, while others who resisted were compelled to pay the penalties; and with respect to others, the penalties were greatly mitigated or given up. Now, he thought it was never the intention of the Legislature to give to the Commissioners the power of dispens ing with the law. If the law were just, it ought to be enforced; but if it were vexatious and oppressive, it ought to be given up altogether. He did not blame the Commissioners of Stamps for what they did, or the respectable individual who acted as the solicitor to the board : he blamed the law which could be so construed as to give them this power. The Hon. Member then went on to contend that the Act of Parliament contemplated only such medicines as he had before mentioned, and could not have required a stamp for common medicines which were to be found in every dispensatory. He concluded by moving that the petition be brought up. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could assure the petitioners, that there was every disposition on the part of the Government, and of the Commissioners of Stamps, to come to any ar rangement by which annoyance to them might be avoided. Considerable alterations would, for this purpose, be made in the schedule. Mr. WARBURTON supported the prayer of the petition. There were many medicines which the , Commissioners said required stamps, but which were in the Pharmacopc2ias; but he did not see why soda water should be included. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER —Soda water was not included in the schedule to the new Bill. Mr. WARBURTON was glad to hear it; but he would suggest to do away with all the duties, and allow the parties to take out a license to make up those medicines. Mr. HUME was glad to hear the Right Hon. Gentleman had gone so far as to give up the duty on soda water, and as this amounted to 12,0001. out of the 37,0001., he thought it was hardly worth while to continue the remaining 25,0001. The petition was brought up and read. Mr. HOI3HOUSE, in moving that it be printed, was glad to hear the Right Hon. Gentleman had gone so far as to give up part of the duty, and he hoped he might be induced to give up the remainder. The petition was ordered to be printed. COMMISSIONERS OF NEW CHURCHES. Mr. HUiVIE had been requested to present a pe tition from the charchwardens, vestry, and inhabi tants of the parish of St. Luke, Middlesex; to which he would beg the attention of the Right Hon. Se cretary (Sir R. Peel), because he was sure the Right Hon. Gentleman would admit that when a power was given to Commissioners to erect new churches, it was not intended that they should be that plague and nuisance to the community which they had since proved themselves in so many in stances. It appeared that about five or six years ago a chapel was erected in this parish by the Commissioners, but so little was it wanted by t h e parish, that it remained for two or three years before it was completely fitted up. — It was now in his opinion rather hard that the parish should have three churches forced on it by Commissioners, when the two already built were never tilled; and certainly such a latitude of autho rity could never have been contemplated by Parlia ment- Throughout the whole correspondence, it was surprising to observe how little consideration for the parties concerned had been evinced by the divines. In one of the churches the pews were open free of charge to the public, yet it was uni formly very thinly attended; and in the new church Hon. Member in the expediency of appointing a Select Committee, inasmuch 'as it did not appear that a case had been made out which could warrant such a procedure, even on his own showing. He alleged that the Commissioners had declined confer ring with certain parties relative to the subjects re ferred to, but was it not very possible that they might have previously obtained all the requisite in formation from those who possessed the best means of being acquainted with the parochial aff. irs ? A rule was laid down by Parliament for their direc tions, enjoining them to inquire in what parishes room was wanting for the adequate accommodation of the parishioners when they as,embled in the exer cise of public worship, to examine in what places there existed a disproportion between the popula tion and the space allotted for divine service, and provide accommodation in proportion to the num ber of the inhabitants. In compliance with these instructions, they had selected the parish of St. Luke as legitimately coining within the meaning of the said rule, as the population in 1821 was ascer tained to amount to 40,876, while there was not ac commodation in the places of worship for more than, 1,200 persons, and they gave accommodation to 2,500 in addition to that number, making in all but 3,700, out of 40,876, who were thus given an oppor tunity of going to church. The assertion that the new church was almost empty, had no foundation whatever, if he might believe the testimony of the respectable clergyman who usually officiated. With respect to the poverty of the parish, he should ob serve, that poor parishes above all others had en tered into the contemplation of Parliament N 1 hen it made such a provision. The parish in question seemed to him to have been peculiarly well selected. Mr. J. WOOD could only judge of the Commis sioners from their scandalous encroachments on the property of the people, and from local information relative to their abuses. They were continually bringing in Bills, which exhibited a grasping and over-reaching disposition ; and their prodigality and extravagance were equally discreditable to those who passively suffered such excesses, and to them selves who had committed them. Their Secretary had 1,0001. a year ; and the Clerk, who no doubt discharged the whole duty, had 3501. In addition to this wasteful expenditure, they persisted in con tinually intl;cting churches on those who did not want more than they were in possession of already. He thought that a Select Committee should be ap pointed to inquire into the subject generally. He did not mean as a dissenter to impugn the Chris tian character of the established church. He was the best friend to religion when he sought the prevention of cant and hypocrisy—the besetting sins of the day, and recommended to the Church the adoption of greater Christian forbearance and humility. After a few words from Lord J. RUSSELL, Mr. TRANT, Mr. R. COLBORNE, and Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW, Mr. HUME, in moving the petitions be laid on the table, said there were 1,200 inhabitants of the parish of St. Luke, paying an average rate of 301. per annum, offering to prove at the bar of the House, that so far from the new churches of which they complained being wanted, those they had were not half filled. Who best should know the fact of the necessity of this new church, this or that Bishop, or this or that Member of the Commission, who knew nothing of the wants of the parish, or 1,200 respectable inhabitants necessarily best acquainted with those wants, and necessarily most interested in their removal ? There was, in fact, no parish in the metropolis better supplied with houses of worship, or more truly " church going." Not less than 5,000 persons attended several of 20 chapels which the parish contained every Sabbath day ; showing that there was no necessity for building new churches. He repeated he could not but ex press his surprise at the manner in which the Right Hon. Gentleman had met this important petition. After a few words from Mr. W. Smtni, and Mr. BARING, the petition was laid on the table, Mr. HUME giving notice that he should on Monday next move that it be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. BULLER presented two petitions from places in Yorkshire, in favour of an open trade with China and the East Indies. On the motion of the same HoN. GENTLEMAN, returns are ordered of the number of newspapers published in Great Britain and Ireland, and amount of stamp duty paid within the last two years. Dr. PHILLIMORE gave notice that he should, to-morrow, move for returns of the number of di vorces granted in the Commissary Courts of Edin burgh within the last five years. The Earl of BELFAST presented a petition from the distillers of Belfast for a reduction of duty on coals. GREECE. Sir J. GRAHAM moved for returns of copies of the instructions sent to Sir P. Malcolm by the Lords of the Admiralty, in obedience to a despatch of the Earl of Aberdeen, written in July last, rela tive to raising the blockade of the coast of Greece by the British squadron ; and also copies of the in structions and despatches sent to and from the Lord Commissioner of the lonian Isles. He wished to know from the Right Hon. Home Secretary whe ther Ministers intended to lay before the House all documents relating to the conferences at Poros, which it was most desirable that the House should be in possession of previous to the discussing the final arrangements which had been adopted by the Allies with respect to the new Greek territory? Sir R. PEEL said the fullest information respect ing the conferences at Poros and their results would be shortly laid before both Houses of Parliament. — With regard to the papers then moved for by the Hon. Baronet, he did not see what object could be attained by the production of the instructions sent to Sir P. Malcolm, as they were implied in the de spatch of Lord Aberdeen which led to them. He did not throw this out by way of objection to pro ducing the papers, but as a suggestion to spare the unnecessary multiplication of them. Sir J. GRAHAM thought that every document relating to the blockade of the Greek fleet should be produced, as the French Ambassador would ap pear to have acted under the impression that there existed some discrepancy between the declarations of Lord Stuart de Rothsay and the despatch of the Earl of Aberdeen on the subject. He particularly alluded to the interpretation of the term " violence," as used respecting the raising of the blockade. Sir R. PEEL maintained that no discrepancy other than verbal existed with respect to the inter pretation of the term "violence" alluded to by the Hon. Baronet. Sir R. VYVYAN was anxious to know whe ther it was intended to lay before Parliament copies of the correspondence between the British Govern ment and the Court of St. Petersburgh, in relation to the settlement of Greece previous to the signing of the treaty of July, 1827 ? Sir R. PEEL felt a considerable objection to produce the correspondence which had taken place before the treaty had been signed, as he thought that not only no good could arise now from its pro duction, but that the proper time for discussing the policy to which it related had passed over. Had the Sir R. PEEL was not insensible of the forbear ance evinced by Parliament at the time alluded to by the Hon. Baronet. Lord PALMERSTON begged leave to suggest to his Right Hon. Friend the great advantage of laying before that House the additional documents relative to the conferences at Poros, which had been ordered in the other House, but which he under stood were not, according to the letter of the mo tion, to be also, as a matter of course, laid before them as well as the House of Peers. He wished at the same time to remind his Right Hon. Friend of something like a promise on a former occasion, to produce copies of the correspondence which had taken place between the British Government and the Court of St. Petersburgh, in the interval be tween the two Russian campains, with a view to bring about a favourable termination of the hostili ties between Russia and the Porte. Both docu ments were highly important and necessary to a per fect understmding of our conduct in the transaction. Sir R. PEEL had only to say, that if his Noble Friend had been in the House a few minutes sooner he would have heard him declare that it was the in tention of Ministers to lay all the documents rela tive to the conferences at Pores before both Houses of Parliament.—(Hear.) Ministers had no objection to the production of every document essential to a thorough investigation of their policy in relation to the treaty of July, 1827, and its consequences. After a few words from Sir R. VYVYAN and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the motion"was agreed to. On the motion of Sir J: GRAHAM, accounts were ordered, showing the salaries and pensions under the Act of the 6th of George IV., for the Colonies during the last year. SCOTCH ENTAILS. In reply to a question from Mr. R. GRANT, Mr. KENNEDY had certainly refrained from brining forward the question of Scotch entails this Session, because he had expectations that the whole subject would have been considered in the House of Lords. In that expectation he was certainly dis appointed ; and if the matter were not introduced early next Session in the other House, he should certainly bring it forward himself, with a view to its adjustment. OBJECTION TO OATHS. Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented a petition from several persons in London, who had religious scruples against taking oaths ; the consequence was, they were ineligible to the office of executors under wills, or to prove debts under bankruptcies. He really thought that the principle of the law which excepted Quakers and Moravians from taking oaths, ought to be extended to these petitioners. In the present state of the Session, he did not mean to bring forward a special motion on the subject ; but perhaps in the next Session he would do so. Lord NUGENT gave notice, that, on Monday next, he would present a general petition, which complained of the imposition of oaths, contrary to religious scruples. Lord HOWICK gave notice, that upon bringing up the report of the Committee of Supply, he would again take the sense of the House upon the vote for special missions to South Amerioa.—(Hear.) On the motion of Lord MILTON, accounts were ordered, showing the import duties upon foreign corn, and corn imported from the British possessions, for the years 1827, 1828, and 1829. Sir H. HARDINGE brought up returns, show ing the amount necessary to put the disembodied infantry upon the same footing as the disembodied cavalry, under certain circumstances. And he gave notice, that on Monday next he would move for a supplemental grant of seven days' pay, to equalize the general amount of the disembodied infantry and cavalry pay. On the motion of Lord F. L. GOWER, the sup plemental report upon the Judges' salaries, and ex penses in courts of justice in Ireland, was ordered to be produced. THE CURRENCY. Mr. DAVENPORT observed, that as his Hon: Friend, the Member for Callington, had a motion for to-night similar to one of which he had himself given notice, he would with great pleasure yield precedence to hie Hon. Friend ; reserving to himself the right to throw out such suggestions as might subsequently occur to him on a subject of such vital importance to the people.' Mr. ATTWOOD then rose—He was prepared to propose to the House to affirm two resolutions ; the first, that it was expedient to re-establish that ancient and legitimate metallic standard which in 1797 had been suspended, and which the Act of 1819 pro fessed, but had failed to revive; and the second, that it was expedient to alter the pecuniary legality of silver, by rendering silver coin a legal tender in England for an amount above five pounds, as it already was in Ireland and Scotland. He confessed that he could see no just reason why, at the present time, there should be any great distress and difficult) , in the country. The truth was, that the existing dis tress and difficulty were resolvable into the pecuniary embarravment in which the present system of our currency had involved the industrious classes.— It was in vain to say that money had changed its value as compared with former periods. In the his tory of money there had been but one such change: it followed the discovery of the new world. Hav ing once permanently fallen, a re-action took place; and the fluctuations in the value of money as the standard of property became excessively ruinous ; becoming the cause of ruin and injustice among all classes of the community; evils which no human foresight could avert. It was obvious that manufac turing and commercial prosperity could not co-exist with a standard of value so changeable as that of the last fifteen years. He was satisfied that our own artificial measures had been the cause of the evil. He would now advert to the first of those measures —the Act of 1797. In 1797 was first established a paper currency, not exchangeable into gold ;—a pure paper currency, with no limit but the caprice of the individuals by whom it was issued, and for which no person could demand payment of any other in gold. The Act of 1797, by which this currency was introduced, suspended, or rather abolished for the time, that ancient metallic stan dard, which, for more than two centuries,-Lad, with no variation, been the measure of property in this country. At the close of 1819, that stan dard, which had been established without reflec tion, was, without enquiry, abandoned. The old money of the country, almost unknown to the ex isting generation, was brought back and substituted for the paper money; without the slightest con sideration that the tngagements which bad been made in the one standard were thus to be redeemed in the other. The effect of the change introduced in 1819 was to make a great addition to the taxes, not only which had been imposed during the imme diately preceding war, but which had accumulated during the wars of two centuries. For two-and twenty years, every contract made in this country was founded upon that standard—he meant the paper standard; and then, suddenly, the ancient standard was brought back, and engagements made in the one were rendered payable in the other. If the House would but remember the state of the landed interest at this period, they would see how terms; and caied on, as it it had been affected by the change. Every settle ment, every mortgage, was affected, by it; being, a co s m th m ey ere a e ll s ‘ h v a e r r e e d ex th p e ressed in money commerce samefate— was, by a universal system of pecuniary credit. The Bill did not come, as some Ho n. Gentlemen had supposed, upon a plea of justice ; at that tittic THE LIFE OF BISHOP HEBER.
