PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS' yesterday, the Benefices, Pluralities, and Clergy Residence Bill w as read a third time and p asse d. O n the presentation of a petition from F. Leigh, E sq ., o f C ar l ow , complaining that his appointment to the Magistracy had been withheld by Lord Mulgrave, upon the erroneous assumption that be was an Orangeman, a lengthened discussion took place. The Earl of Mu'grave maintained the propriety of the course which had been adopted in this case, and stated the fact that both the Duke of Wellington and the Marquis of Wellesley, when they saw occasion, had refused to ratify a nomination of which the Government disapproved. In the Commons' Messrs. West and Hamilton took the oaths and their seats as members for Dublin. Sir C. Knightley iterated his intention to move that Soap (!) should be substi tuted for Newspapers, when the reduction on the duty of the latter be submitted to the House. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice of his intention, on the first Tuesday after the holidays, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the removal of the Civil Disabilities affecting his Majesty's Jewish subjects. An important and very interesting debate then succeeded, on Mr. Morris's motion relative to the introduction of a stringent legal restriction to protect the public against the exorbitant charges which a monopoly might give to railroad proprietors the power of exacting. Lord Stanley suggested tiat a Bill should be brought in, and that it should have not illy a present, but also a retrospective operation, and thus in ude ill railroads whatever in the condition of being subject g the revision of Parliament at the end o f s uch t i me as might be fixed. This suggestion was generally approved, and it was understood that Mr. Morrison, who then withdrew his resolu .- ~. would bring in a Bill to the effect stated. Mr. Wallace the; brotiebt.forward his motion i for a commission to proceed to the county of Carlow.toinquire nto.the circumstances set forth in the petition of N. A.,,Vigors,'Esq., relative to the persecution and ejectment of Parname . ntary- electors by re moving them from their homes and possessionii.and ot,laccwise coercing and maltreating them, &c. After coOiderable dis cussion, the House divided, when the Noes had Ifliy a majority o f 71. Leave was given to bring in a Bill to establish Town Councils in certain burghs, &c. in Scotland. Sir W. Rae's motion relative to the Church of Scotland Endtwment Com missioners, after a short discussion, was withdrawn. SPAIN. " ADDRESS OF THANKS OF THE NATIONAL 'Gti;ARD OF ST. SEBASTIAN TO THE BRITISH LEGION. " The battalion of National Guards of St. Sebastian, and the companies of other towns taking refuge and incorporated with it, feel it a duty thus solemnly to mark their gratitude and admiration of the conduct and the sacrifices of the British Legion on the sth inst. before this place. The object of the National Guard being to offer a well-merited tribute to this Legion, they abstain from speaking of the part borne on that day by the Spanish troops forming a part of this garrison, and they themselves, acting under a similar impulse, will, we doubt not, see the propriety of our only speaking of their auxiliaries. Their illustrious General, De Lacy Evans, knows the merit evjnced by the Spaniards, and we rest with confidence on his justice. "At half-past 3in the morning the combined force left this place in three divisions, centre, right, and left, under the im mediate command of three English Brigadier-Generals, with a previous order from the General not to fire a shot until they were in possession of the enemy's first lines, which was ef fected with much courage, and with small loss on our part. The second lines were formed in three most important posi tions, nearly equidistant, covering all the front of the first, and there the en my concentrated all his force , it being easily perceived that had several pieces of artillery very well placed, making a whole plan of defence arranged with much intelligence, and well protected, and thus offering a most formidable line of defence. To these obstacles another was to be added, that of the heavy rains which had for some days preceded, and continued at the attack, rendering the ground nearly impassable. Such a combination of unfavourable cir cumstances was enough to make the bravest hesitate, but the gallant General-in-Chief, De Lacy Evans, with that valour and calmness which distinguishes the sons of the great British nation, said, It is necessary to overcome all difficulties, and possess the positions before us.' Nor could the obstinate de fence of the enemy, availing himself of his powerful position during full four hours, change this resolution ; and all the different bodies, having at their head their respective chiefs and officers, threw themselves forward, and at the point of the bayonet, and with an intrepidity impossible to describe, on the enemy, and dislodged them with great loss. " The opportune arrival in this bay of two English steamers of war, under the command of Lord John Hay, with upwards of 1,000 men of the Legion, who immediately landed and flew to the support of their brethren, and the fire of balls and gre nades made by the Plicenir, one of the steamers, on the ene my's most important position, with the precision belonging to the English naval artillery, produced great influence on the result of the action. " It has been glorious in all the extent of the term, and will everywhere find an echo. The auxiliaries have shown them selves, as they always do, a portion of that enviable nation whose sons are the most honourable and the bravest in the world. The loss of these valiant men is as afflicting as our gratitude shall be eternal. How subdue in our breasts the effusion of our gratitude at the sight, in our city, of the trophies of this victory--part of that artillery with which the rebels threatened us with destruction? " The rebels, informed of this success, and struck down by the extraordinary valour of the auxiliaries, will tremble at the idea of measuring their forces in time to come. Here we have a proof of the result which might be contemplated if this Le gion counted 10,000 men directed by a General so distin guished, and by such chiefs and officers. There can be no doubt that their efforts must powerfully contribute to decide this disastrous warfare, to consolidate the Throne of Isabel 11., and affirm our national liberty. These arc the sincere sentiments of the. National Guard of St. Sebastian, who would not feel their minds tranquillized if they neglected this manifestation in honour of their well deserving allies.

GOTHA, MAY 2.—The Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, with the ta•o Princes Ernest and Albert, his sons, is gone for some months to Brussels and London. VIENNA, MAY 7.—ln the course of a week her Majesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma, is expected at Schonbrunn, where she will remain till the autumn, and then go to Prague to be present at the coronation. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Ferdinand of Este, will certainly set out the day after to-morrow to go to Lim berg. The Archduke Maximilian of Este is expected back from Modena in a few days. The Archduke Charles has left Vienna to-day for his country seat,Woilberg, near 13aden. The Emperor and Empress will take up their residence at Schon brunn, between the 10th and 15th of this month. The Dukes Orleans and Nemours are expected here at the beginning of next month. Apartments arc already preparing for them in the Hotel of the French Legation, but it is supposed they will be invited to lodge in the Imperial Palace (the Burg.) We hear that it is intended to disband the who!e of the Landwehr in the spring of 1837. The Russian Ambassador, Baron Von Tatischcff. has been for some time indisposed. Baron Libe zeltern, Austrian Ambassador at the Court of Naples, intends to pass the season at Carlsbud, and to visit St. Petersburgh before he returns to his post at Naples. MUNICH, MAY 10.-We hear that part of the luggage of King Otho was embarked on the 16th of April, on board the Greek brig the Pet-retie for Ancona, and the King intended to follow very shortly, so as to arrive in Ger many in the last half of May. According to the most recent accounts the troubles had been happily quelled ; the banditti had gone to Thessaly, the insurgents to Albania, or were dispersed and subdued. The old warriors who fought in the war of independence, every where took up arms in com pliance with the Royal summons, and soon overcame these troublesome enemies, in their way, that is in guerilla warfare. Some of the captains of the banditti and of the insurgents came with their adherents to submit to the Royal troops, and after having taken the oath of fidelity to the Royal Standards fought immediately afterwards, with the greatest resolution, against their former comrades. Captains possessing consider able influence, such as Hadochi Petras, with their relations and all their companions in arms, have placed themselves under the Royal Commanders ; and this movement, which has restored to active service all the old combatants for indepen dence who desired it, has had such an effect, that there is little reason to apprehend the return of such scenes as those in Arcanania and on the frontiers.

It has been the misfortune of the British navy that its history has generally been written by men who, however qualified by classical education, have wanted those indispensable requisites which can only be acquired by professional habits, local know ledge, and constant attention : hence it has arisen that many important events connected with the Navy have been impro perly stated, and, consequently, have proved uninstructive to the rising generation, whose improvement should ever he re garded by the historian as the great object of his labours. Indeed, the interest and importance of a naval history to this empire are incalculable, nor is any time more favourable for reviewing the past and preparing for the future than a period of profound peace. Captain Brenton, who is about to renew his claims on the public attention, first entered the naval ser vice with the late Admiral Cornwallis, in the year 1789, and ended his career at the period of Napoleon's surrender on board the Bellerophon, in 1815. D ur i ng t hi s ent i re period he had been in the habit of taking notes of every public event which came under his observation ; and, as the vast field of naval history lay unoccupied by any professional author, he determined to exepute the task, the m agn i tu d e o f w hi c h has occupied him for many years. This important work will be comprised in ten-Monthly Parts, at 3s. 6d. each, and will be embellished with numerous finely-executed portrrits and other plates. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 18, 1836. The proceedings in the House of Lords last night, respecting the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill, are somewhat amusing. The third reading of the Bill had been fixed for this day ; but it would appear from the manceuvres of the Tory leaders, that this is too rapid a movement for their purpose. The Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord LYNDIIURST said that it would suit their convenience much better—the public convenience is of course a matter of very inferior im portanec—if the third reading were postponed to Friday. Lord ELLENBOROUGII " shook his am bros:al curls, and gave the nod" of assent to the proposition of the two other Noble Lords, and stated that one very strong reason, as it struck him, why the Bill should not be read a third time by their Lordships until Friday, was this—that as very considerable altera tions had been made in it since it carne up to them, they should have as much time as possible to re-con sider the nature of those amendments, as well as any ob jections that could be urged against them, before they passed them through their final stage, in order to arrive as far as possible at perfection in legislation. We certainly cannot but approve of the Noble Lord's object in post poning the third reading of the Bill ; but as far as we are able to judge, from the late conduct of the body of which he is so great an ornament, we must say that they are not yet within any measurable distance of the point at which they are so ambitiously aiming ; and that if they suspend their hereditary functions until they are, they will be overtaken by the crack of doom. No, no ; let their Lordships proceed with the Bill in the truly spirited and dashing manner in which they commenced. They must not now attempt to back out under the pretence of re-considering those points which they have told us, over and over again, they brought forward after the most mature considera tion. No time must be lost in getting the Bill back again into the Commons, and showing the people how much their favourite measure has been improved by lordly handywork. The third reading comes on to-day after all.: The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is pre pared to give the House of Commons the most ample opportunities of expressing its sense of the importance of his financial arrangements. Of this the House and the country have had numerous proofs. Another was afforded last night. Sir C. KNIGUTLEY, it appears, sympathises more deeply with the great unwashed than the great unread, and accordingly he requested to know when the Right Hon. Gentleman's motion for the reduction of the Newspaper Stamp Duty would be brought forward, for he intended moving as an amendment, that the reduction or duty should be made on Soap instead of on Newspapers. Mr. SPRING RICE'S answer is sufficient to show the anxiety of the Government to afford all parties fair play. To extend relief to the soap manufacturers would naturally excite the astonishment of the glass manufacturers, who are still more severely oppressed. With a view to afford the House an opportunity of dealing fairly and impar tially with the claims of every party, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, in answer to Sir C. KNIGHTLEY'S question, that his motion would include the Excise Acts along with the St amp D ut i es, as open to the revision of a Committee of the whole House. No course could be more straightforward, or, on the whole, better chosen, than this. Ilonourable Gen tlemen will thus be afforded an opportunity of testing the opinion of the House respecting the effect of those taxes, of which they liberally promised their consti tuents the repeal when on the hustings.

These d o -nothings-in-spite-of-themselves—recreants by com pulsion—are promised a golden season for testing their past sincerity and past sagacious convictions, as to the tone of the House, and the temper of the Cabinet. The fate of such an amendment as that which Sir C. KNIGIITLEY proposes to move on the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S motion, for reducing the Stamp Duty on Newspapers, is all but self-evident. In the whole House not fifty members would be so stupid as to vote for it. Our fair Contemporary, the Morning Herald, has frequently of late expressed her surprise that Lord JOHN RUSSELL should have proposed so long a Par liamentary recess as ten days, for the Whitsuntide holydays. We too shared in the good old lady's asto nishment when his Lordship brought forward his pro position ; but we have now, we think, discovered a reason that fully justifies it ; for on looking into the votes of the House of Commons, we find that the se cond reading of Sir ANDREW AGNEW'S Sabbath Observance Bill comes on to-night ; and as this " pre cious pot of ointment" will of course spin a pious, but prosy yarn, on the occasion, we feel persuaded that his Lordship has purposely lengthened the recess, with the considerate view of enabling Honourable Members to recover from their lassitude and weariness. Who indeed—especially in such hot weather as the present—could hear the Honourable Baronet, without experiencing that intense feel ing of drowsiness which follows a hearty draught of pure laudanum ? His last speech was very nearly AC death of poor Mr. O'CONNELL, whom we our selves saw—and the sight filled us with anguish — tumble into his neighbour's lap, with his eyes as close shut as the pockets of his friend RAPHAEL. Alas, how many Hon. Members will be in the same dis tressing condition to-night ! We say nothing of them, however, for they have it in their .power to eschew the visitation ; but think of the SPEAKER, compelled to sit and hear out the whole discussion, from Parson AG NEW'S opening discourse, to Clerk MOSELEY'S final Amen ! Is nothing due to the sufferings of such a man ? Why, he will be scarcely compensated for them even by a recess of ten days ; and hard indeed must be the heart that can deny him and his fellow- sufferers so trifling a relaxation. We thank GOD that there are only one or two Saint AGNEWs in the House. Were there more, the Chiltern Hundreds would he in as great request as a seat on the Treasury Bench. We have not the slightest idea that Sir ANDREW'S motion will be carried. Hon. Members know too well what they owe to themselves and their constituents, to sanction a measure which, if passed, would have the effect of revolutionising the kingdom. Besides, these are not the times for legislating on hot joints, and prescrib ing the exact hour at which a baked leg of mutton may be carried legally through the streets. We want Reform, but not in the baker's oven. We need a remedy of grie vances, but not a total stop to the Sabbath enjoyments of the poor. We are not yet prepared to excommuni cate the green fields, or put hired hacks without the pale of the law. The Hon. Baronet, however, we per ceive, intends altering the character of phis Bill, for he has given notice of a motion for an address to his MAJESTY, " praying that he will he graciously pleased to order that the carriage gates of the Royal Parks may be closed on the Lord's Day." This—absurd as it may be—looks something like fair-play, affecting the rich as well as the poor ; but how is it to be carried into effect ? His MAJESTY would no more dream of closing the Parks against his loyal people, than the Ursa Major of Carlow would dream of keeping a tenant on his estate who had voted against him. There would be a revolution among all the owners of carriages and horses in the metropolis. The smart apprentices of the West-end and the City would turn rebels to a man ; and even the fair sex would be come as complete "Destructives" in their hearts, as they have al►vays:been with their eyes. Altered or unaltered, limited or comprehensive, still Sir ANDREW'S Sab- Lambeth, within a short distance of all the bridges, touching Vauxhall Gardens, and passing close by Vauxhall Bridge, to the Southampton terminus at Nine Elms, which is also in tended to be the terminus of the proposed Brighton, Dover, and South Western Railways—it will then proceed to Bat tersea, crossing the Thames by a viiduct to Chelsea, and be continued, passing over and communicating with the Ham mersmith and Uxbridge Roads, to the junction of the Bir mingham and Great Western Railways at Harlesdon Green. The Branch to Richmond will be a continuation to Batter sea, and will pass through Wandsworth, Putney, and Mortlake. The transit the whole distance, from the City to Harlsdon green or Richmond, will be in twenty-five minutes—to Vaux hall in six minutes—to the Hammersmith road or Putney in 18 minutes. The proposed Railway is intended to be carried on arches the principal part of the line, which will be tastefully converted into shops, warehouses, and dwelling-houses, and will form leading thoroughfares through the whole line, which will very greatly improve the streets branching from each side, particu larly in Lambeth. The whole line is the most convenient for construction that can possibly be devised, considered with re gard to expedition, durability, and economy—to which may be added the important feature that the whole of the line will be executed without any deep cuttings or tunnels. The Paris Journals of Monday have all been re ceived. The following official announcement appears in the Moniteur : "EGuIA left Ernani on the 11th inst. with a great part of his troops and artillery. On the 12th, he was at Alegria. It is said that this movement has been occasioned by the advance of CORDOVA on Mondra gon. On the 12th, Don CARLOS was at Villa Real, where he was to be rejoined by EGUIA. There are only four Carlist battalions remaining at Ernani." Whatever may have been the cause of EGUIA'S withdrawal from Ernani, the event, according to all ordinary calculations, is most fortunate for the British Legion ; as it would be absurd to suppose that, after its recent fatigue, it could cope successfully with the whole army of Don CARLOS. Probably the cause as signed for EGUIA'S movement is the right one ; for if ConDovA be resolved to move at all, he cannot re main inactive after the attack made upon him in the Chamber of Procuradores, on the sth and Gth instant. Besides, if his object from the comencement really was to bring disgrace upon the Legion, he must seek to compensate for his disappointment by rivalling it in the field of battle. No doubt CORDOVA heard enough of the gallantry of General EvANs, and his brave troops, to render the possibility of EGUIA'S success questionable, and should the Carlists be a second time defeated by the Legion, with what countenance could CORDOVA lay claim to the Commandership-in- Chief of an army which only conquered in his ab sence ? We do not say that such an idea presented itself to the mind of CORDOVA, when he prepared to divert EGulA's attack upon St. Sebastian, by mov ing towards Mondragon ; but we do believe that a motive as unworthy occasioned a proceeding, which, for once, we regard as most fortunate. The Journal des Dcbatshas an able article on the pre sent state of the war in Spain. After reviewing the several positions occupied by the belligerents, it expresses its belief that nothing short of a most egregious blunder on the part of the QUEEN'S Generals can turn the scale in the Carlists' favour. Since the occupation of Lequietio the Carlists have failed in every expedition ; and they are now so closely hemmed in that they cannot move in any direction. It is the Carlists who now act on the offensive, as they literally begin to endure the privations of citizens in a state of siege. They must be destroyed for want of necessaries, unless they succeed in breaking through the lines by which they are now so closely and strongly encompassed. The first battalion of the new French Foreign Le gion is now formed at Pau ; and the Minister of War has addressed a circular letter to Generals commanding divisions, permitting them to enter it. The Legion will be made up of six battalions; and the auxiliary force under General BERNELLE, in Spain, is to be forth with increased, by command of the Government. It was rumoured in Paris on Monday that MEN DIZABAL had discovered an intrigue, carried on between CORDOVA and MIRAFLORES, for upsetting his Cabinet. Alarmed for the consequences, COR- DovA was preparing to resign the command of the army, in which he was to be replaced by the War Minister—General RODIL. We do not know whe ther this report he or be not correct ; but at all hazards the retirement of CORDOVA cannot be much longer prevented, under any pretext, by the President of the Council. CORDOVA is a dangerous opponent, but We differ from MENDIZABAL in thinking him less so at the head of the army in the Basques than in trailing his bloodless blade along the Prado, within eye-shot of the fascinating, and the erewhiies fascinated, Regent. Letters from Madrid of the Bth inst. were received in Paris, stating that thirty Members of the Chamber of Procuradores had signed a petition for presentation to the QUEEN, praying her Majesty to request a more active intervention on the part of France. It is the prevailing opinion that the Spaniards in general arc no longer opposed to the co-operation of a regular French army. 'file following are extracts : A difficulty has arisen regarding the exchange of decora tions constantly practised in the visits of Princes. At the Court of Berlin the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours are to wear the Order of the Black Eagle, and it is hoped that the King of Prussia will pay the same respect to the Legion of Honour, of which he formerly was so proud ; but the Prince Royal will not wear it, no doubt owing to the tri-coloured flags that have been substituted for the fleurs de lys. It would be a great violation of etiquette, and even something more. At Vienna negotiations are proceeding. We can affirm that the King will not proceed to the south of Prance • the only project is an excursion to Eu after the session. It is indeed said that his Majesty intends crossing the channel, and having some conference with the King of England.—Journal du Commerce. TOULON SQUADRON. " TOULON, MAY IL—The assembling of a squadron of observation in our road excites great attention. In the navy it is asked who is the Admiral that is to command this squa dron—what enemy will it have to combat ? Among the poli ticians the conjectures are endless. Reports of war continue to circulate. " As for us, who have long remarked the vacillation of the Government, we persist in believing that it means to observe every thing as idle speculations, unless some important event should command a sudden determination. We have seen a squadron called a Squadron of Observation, then a squadron of the g eaLeovattio the thet,undHeyreres Is colamnmdsa,nd of Admiral Massieu de lastly, the Suffren, of the line, detached stationaryhefro inthe o from the squradad : squadron with Admiral Massieu for the Levant, there to take the place of the Ville de Marseilles and M. de Lalande. " It will be just the same now, only as it is necessary to appear to be right to make war at sea, the Squadron of Observation will be stronger than that of M. Massieu de Cler val, and will probably be commanded by a Vice-Admiral. In fact, we hear that there will be assembled in our road one 3-decker, seven 2-deckers, three frigates, and several brigs and corvettes—in all about twenty sail."—Messager, May 16.

Cook, surgeon of the Abram, from Stromness, dated April 29, in which he states the Abram had been driven back by adverse winds into that harbour, and that the other ships had been obliged to return to port. They were all safe and well. No news of the Cove or William Torr.—Hull Advertiser. bath Bills arc a nuisance, worthy only to be broug' forward by a Praise-God-Barebones in a Parliaimnt of Puritans. Away with them then. Away with one and all. Let them be torn to atoms and scattered to the four winds of heaven. We are happy to announce that Parliament wil shortly be afforded an opportunity of doing justice to to the surviving Danish claimants. In the House of COIIIIIIOIIS last night, the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets, Mr. CLAY, presented a petition from that greatly injured body, when he gave notice that on the 31st inst., he would bring the question regularly before the House. Mr. G. F. YOUNG, who supported the petition, expressed the satisfaction which he derived from the course adopted by his Honourable Friend; adding that he himself had determined to adopt a similar course, had Mr. CLAY not given no tice of a motion on the subject. We trust that the Government will talc the claims of the petitioners into its . serious consideration, and that now, even at the eleventh hour, it will do justice to the most ill-used body of men in existence. In this particular case, England was virtually the robber of her own people ; and to withhold redress, because the Minister who counselled the wrong cannot be made responsible, is to declare that the public faith of Great Britain is not a sufficient guarantee for the cargo of a whaler. The Times of this Morning deprecates, in the strongest terms, what it pleases to call, the intended hushing up of a certain delicate affair, in which a leading Cabinet Minister is supposed to be involved. We wonder our Contemporary did not express the same virtuous horror, when the Carlton Club paid ten thousad pounds—money, down on the nail—for the hushing up of an affair of a similar character, in which a certain Tory Ex-Lord Chancellor was notoriously implicated I If the compromise be bad now---and in the present instance the whole i s a mere matter of rumour—how much more so must it have been, when the person involved was'the keeper of the KING'S conscience—the fountain-head of law-- the great dispenser of church patronage ? Perhaps some of our Tory friends will resolve this perpl e xi no question. We have received the Prospectus of a new Railroad Company, started with the double purpose of connect ing all lines of railroad terminating in the i mmediate vicinity of London, and of carrying bran c h es to Rich mond and several other populous district s , w i t h in a short distance of the capital. Friendly a s We have always been to such projects, we feel confid ent that none will attribute to us personally interested mot i ves in wishing the new Company all the success to which i ts efforts to benefit the public may entitle it. not an were the first to advocate the laying down of ra il ways as absolutely necessary to the maintenance o f our g social and commercial position in Europe ; an d we have now the pleasure of observing that there is intelligent person in the kingdom who differs fro m us on the question of their utility. As the New Com pany will allow a year to intervene before makin application to Parliament, the public will have no ground for complaining that it has been taken by sur prise. The following acco unt of the pr o p ose d line is from the Prospectus : The Route of the proposed line will commence at South wark Bridge, and will proceed bearing south-west through DUTY ON PAPER MEETING OF STATIONERS.—(THIS DAY.) A public Meeting of Stationers, and others engaged in the Paper Trade, was held this day at Stationers'-hall, to consider I the propriety of petitioning Parliament, when the proposed al teration 1, in the duty takes place, to allow a drawback on the stock then on hand.—Mr. Charles Hodgkinson in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated at great length the proceedings that had led to the present meeting. On the 26th of January, in consequence of his Majesty having appointed a Commission to investigate the present Excise laws, and the report of that Commission having recommended an alteration in the duty on paper, a meeting of the trade was convened, the stationers being naturally anxious to ascertain what were • the in tentions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and when the new duties were to take effect. At that meet ing a Committee was appointed to memorialize the Lord:, of the Treasury, and to solicit an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the subject. An interview between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Committee took place on the Ist of February, and the Committee strongly urged the injustice that would be done to the trade if when the proposed alteration in the duties took place a drawback was not allowed on the stock then on hand, the amount of which would be about 80,0001. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer promised to take their statement into consideration, and requested that it might be reduced to writing. This was done, and repeated applications were subsequently made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to know what was his determi nation, and after considerable delay the Committee received an intimation that the Chancellor was not disposed to comply with their request, in consequence of which the Committee re solved to call a public meeting of the trade upon the subject. The CHAIRMAN then read a petition to Parliament which had been drawn up by the Committee, praying that the draw back on stock in hand might be allowed. Sir JAMES WILLIAMS then proposed, and Mr. GIBBONS se conded a motion, expressing the concurrence of the Meeting in the resolutions of the Committee. Mr. PEWTRISS thought that'as no decisive answer had been officially received from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that it would be better to try the effect of another interview with him upon the subject. He however entirely approved of the proceedings of the Committee hitherto. A GENTLEMAN enquired whether it was intended to petition that the drawback should be allowed on manufactured stock, or only on unbroken reams—if confined to the latter, it would only benefit the wholesale stationers. The CHAIRMAN said that would rest with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, supposing he allowed any drawback at all. In all the interviews with him the interests of the retail trade were as much attended to as those of the wholesale. Sir JAS. WILLIAMS thought it would be impolitic at present to make such a request, while it remained doubtful whether a drawback would be allowed on any paper after it had left the mill. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and a variety of resolutions were adopted. The meeting then adjourned. COAL MONOPOLY. This day the Deputation from Holborn waited upon T. Wakley, Esq., M. P. for the borough of Finsbury, with the petition, adopted at the late Meeting, to the House of Com mons, on the subject of the Coal Monopoly, and which was most numerously signed. The Deputation consisted of the chairman of the late Meet ing (R. Ramsden, Esq.), Messrs. Bartrup, Wooler, Hannah, Hawkins, who pointed out to Mr. Wakley the unjustifiable attempts made by the Coal Monopolists and the Dean and Chapter of Durham to obstruct the introduction of a new field of Coal of superior quality to the major part-now im ported into London. The Hon. Member assured his consti tuents of his best efforts iu removing these obstructions ; and, as the subject has now created general interest, we may expect to see every Member act for the public good, and not influ enced by individual or other's interest. We understand a re quisition is in course of signature to the Sheriff of the county of Middlesex to convene a General Public Meeting of the whole county on this subject. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

Our arrivals this morning are—one French mail, and ship_ letters from New York, Van Diemen's Land Dec. 23 ; Mau ritius Jan. 18 ; and Cape of Good hope to Feb. 20. New York Papers to April 22, are received. We extract the following : " STEClE.—Application has been made within a day or two to the Marine Office in Wall-street, for insurance of a million of specie from Europe. The application comes through a Government channel, and is understood to refer to the French imdemnity. " PUBLIC RIEVENUE.—The Secretary of the Treasury sent to the Senate his answer to the call made by the resolution of Mr. Colhoun, for a statement of the amount of money in the Treasury. The Secretary states that the receipts to the Trea sury during the quarter ending the 31st day of last month, were—total 10,725,700 dollars, and thar i the amount of public money in the Treasury (that is the deposit bank), on the 31st of last month, was 31,895,155 dollars." By the steam packet arrived from Charleston, we have re ceived the Charleston papers, and the latest New Orleans, and other southern papers. They do not contain intelligence of much importance. Intelligence had been received from General Brook, commanding at Green Bay, stating that a war-belt from the Semenoles is circulating, and that there is reason to apprehend that these latter Indians may be induced to commit hostilities against the settlement. Launceston papers to the 18th of December have been this day received. A great deal of excitement existed in the co lony, in consequence of the murder of Captain Sergeantson. The particulars had not been known when the' accounts left. An action had been commenced against the Colonial Times for a libel upon the Chief Justice. The news by the telegraph from Spain this morning is looked upon in the city as of great importance. General Eguia arrived at Ernani on the 7th instant with a strong reinforce. ment. His artillery remained there four days, and did not dare to attack General Evans. On the 11th: instant he made a precipitate retreat, with his troops and artillery, as likewise did Don Carlos—owing, it is said, to General Cordova hav ing advanced with his army in the direction of Mondragon. We may therefore expect soon to hear of a desperate battle between Eguia and Cordova. It is now evident that General Evans's victory is of greater importance than was at first ima gined. TIIE FUNDS.

THEATRES. THE KING'S One of the most numerous assemblages of rank and ashlers of the season was collected last night, to witness th e repre sentation of Bellini's Puritani, and the splendid ballet el Benyowskg.. The Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Vial ria occupied their usual box. The Puritani appears undirell' nished in attraction, and was enthusiastically applauded fro beginning , to end, and the customary encores were b estow n l on the " b A to o cara," the polacca " Suoni la trombap 13 ',' r; _.„ c• Ella e tremante ;" La G r i s i, R u bini, Lablache, and 1 , burini were all in sup er b vo i ce , an d e xcited by the bribliul_ array of company, ex e rt e d th emse l ves to maintain the r e p o ; tion of being the four most consummate artistes in Eu r° Po They were all called for at the conclusion of the opera, warmly cheered. One cont remens d ur ing the perform gave rise to much merrim en t. B e t ween the second and t"tiey acts the curtain was sudd en ly d rawn up, discovering e i collection of people on the stage, many not being in costf. - s i_ and others, perhaps, only ma ki ng th e i r debut, rushed 0 11 let multaneously. After a little delay the act drop was ag ain m a down, till raised in due course. It was presumed that so ot wag had rung the managerial bell prematurely. The gr majority of the audience stopped for the ballet. arts of DRURY-LANE. There being a wide breach, at present, in the ran 3 Pa" high tragedy, constant attempts are made to carry it by " ousill-starred forlorn hopes, whose failures we have the Il i , lancholy duty to witness. The latest attempt of this histrile valour, without its better part—discretion, took night at this Theatre, when a gentleman named Paumier, fwof the Theatre Royal, Cork, made his appearance in the ear: a . Hamlet. In person Mr. Paumier is tall and slender ; h is fly, tures are too small for stage effect, and he, consequefi_ce seems to find it necessary to resort to an habitual extraver.lloi. of expression, which approaches grimace, in the m ore bole, place 021, mated parts of the character. His performance, on the liar impressed us with the idea that he had been but little far:t u tor , with the stage, either as an actor, or even as a aPe e . ta t be His exits were generally tame, and he walked the stage in un. most i . rresolute manner possible. While he hissthu aPPe l ": — ba acquainted with the common-place tricks of profebal°l'',ol deserved some merit for freshness and fervency in the genera style of his performance.
