gained, which trough( upon ,ui,with greater certainty the evil we were so mainly solici tousto avoid. • Had a strict "neutrality .been maintained, he would hot have brought for ward:the present motion., This Governrpent, act ing with strict neutrality, relight, as it condemned theAevolution in the Government of Naples on the . one,hand, haVe remonstrated with the Allies against putting it down.by force. on the other.— The,conduct pursued by as tOwnids Spain, far from involving us in a war', had' perhaps gone a great way towards saving us from such an. evil. — But he reminded thellouseof the lant4liage held by ty g Emperor of Russia On the 'Occasion of the Spanish _Revolution. Ile had - then' 'declared " that till an expiatory sacritiCe had Been made —that till the soldiery who effectedthe Revolu tion bad been punished;no communication ought to . be held with that poWer." This Was the law-, guage.held by an Emperor, for speaking of whom his .Noble Friend had been called to older.' He wililed.to say nothing harsh of that Monarch, but could it be denied that he had succeeded to the Throne through the murder of 'his father ? lie . trwted he (the Emperor) had no concern with it, but might not Foreign Powers then have said, with as much propriety .as lie could say that which he recently advanced" there has been an atrocious murder committed at the - Coda of Russia, and no communication shall be held with that PoWer till an expiatory sacrifice shall have been made,_and the authors of this`crime brought to ,punishment ?" The explanations given by the NOble Earl thiSnight were to him unsatisfactory. Tlie . policy of Ministers, in his opinion, bid fair to involve the country in difficulty, which might be avoided by taking a firmer course, and a course more,consistent with the rights of Nations and the interests . of this Country. Ile could not con 'sent to Withdraw the motion; but finding the at tendance so thin, and .perceivin4 how strong the feeling was likely to be against the present mo tion, he would not put the Honse to the trouble of .divirding„ Lord ELL E NBOROFGH explained' and the ones tie was then put and negatived.

HULL. POOR BILL. Mr:'SYKES moved that the Hull Pour 13111 be read a,second time that day selinight.. 11l sKISSON was not . iware,. that according to the riactice , of Parliament', any lion. Member could pursue such a Coui-Se as had - been adopted by the Hon. Gentleman oppo sire, thns moving the second reading at so distant a period. Wit'n respect - to tlie'ineritS;of the Bill itself, although it had iiteir introduced into the- House• as a prieatc measure, he coti.hl mu. but regard:it.one of a public nature, and involving e. great qnestion. Its principle was neither noire nor less thaii this . : 2 -An attempt to• adopt a new mode of Irrying poor rates upon a new description of •property.— Ctlear,-.44,11-7-and , upon. a description of property which it was the, duty of ,diet House to' protect. But this ens not 04' only- object of the Bill. It endeavoured to introduce into , tbe_7•town of a mode of levying rates. which was to l.e.confined to-that. port only. With respect to the large amonnt of its Pii,r :Bates, could it be' imagined that Hull would tie - liable to such an increase, if there lied not been an eqdaßy great improvement in. it . s trade f They wet e not, 11),:re fore to tool;. at the actual amount of the Poor Rates as a ground for any 'measure of thiS notate, without also You ins at the increase of property width such' an increase ot tra,le had hecessurily brooght with it. - If _they did go into the measure at all, it must be' as a pulrliC one, and 11 t riS' one li v ing of a private; nature. - The ship ping' 'the port of conk] not. be reasonably sub jected to the maintenance of the poor of that town, with out applying the same principle to all other poits in the hlOgitoni. If the -House. determined tie• entertain the t Neu let them consider it as a general -question;-and as lie conceived ,it to be one of a fearful nature a ith respect to its operat•mi tiron the sfate of our Poor - Laws, be should move • as an atm-ailment, that' the words this day se'rinieht" he left out in the _motion,. awl that the words .‘.‘ this day six months" trc . stilistitnted in their place. Mr: STUART WoIITLEY said, that -fife motion of his (Mr. Sykes) related merely to the Order.ol . the Day; and• be really tlitinOt that the opposition of the Right Hon'. Gentleman would More properly come at the time fixed fo? the second reading : of_the Bill. The SPEAKER,'explaine.rl the regular course, which was .simply to more that the secoml reading. should stand for any gieen day,. and that the discussion upon the merits of the qui•sliOn shiA/d take place at that ODIC* . NIF,-1 - i Li:41010;0N had hero led to oppose the Honourable Member's motion, because it seemed; iii effect, to carry the sZ,cond reading.of the Bill. After what had been said, lie begged leave in withdraw, his Amendment. . Mr. SIKES was proceeding to reply, when • . . Mr. BARING rose' to bider. lie conceived that if they 'went into ediscussion oPthe , measure, it was impossible to aroid cutting. to a;deeision upon it. - .. Mr, CALCBAI7 thoughl that as-an attack bad been made upon the bill, ,rod ai . that would ha v e its •effect iipon the Hoi4e and upon the worid, it-was only just that the'Hon. ~Member who proposed it should have the right of replying to the ohservations which had been made: Mr. SYKES proceeded. Ile wished to call the attention of the Right Hole Gentleman and of the House to sorne localities of the particular place to which the Bill was intended to be 'applied. In 11u14111 stock in trade, of whatever description, was rateable: - and he could not see. why ship-liolders•should • be the• only parties eiempted frOtheirntributing towards the maintenanceofthe_poor. With respect,tothe objectionsorthe Right lion: Member, as, to the private nature ottlie'Bill lie could point- out t him two - - statutes now . upon the Books, ex= . actly similar to it in every respect. Two Acts ti'g'er passed in tliF last reign, by. a hich the shipping' in the port of Souther-, land was rendered liable to be rated for the reiief of the - poor.' In Scarborough and in Poole, shipping was rated at this day. Having thus stiewn that,the principle had been ,admitted, lie contended t hat t here was uo t own in the kingdom where it could be so 'fairly applied as' Hull. An immense number -of the pnot of that town had been brought upon the rates by the shipping. lii the year 1819, when 16,0001. was appropriated to the support of the poor, 70001. of that sum had been con sumed by the poOr belonging to the shipping. Under these jrCliniitanCet, it appeared . perfectly -fair to Mtn, that the shipholders.shonld contribute their share in supporting the burdens which they were instrumental in creating. Mr. F..LEWIS warned the House against the danger of ex tending any property, be it it what it may, within the reach of the Poor Laws. He was of opinion that they tended to devonr the whole property of the country, and he would always now, and upon every occasion, keep what be could out of their destructive clutches.. There was no proposition so certain, so infallible, as th a t the Poor Laws would entirely destroy every description of property upon ninth they could fix their hold. The misfortune of these laws was (and it indneed many to support • them from the best motives,) that they were apparently benevolent. He knew they were kind in appear ance, they were humane in appearance ; but they • carried with them the direst evils. He was fully convinced that they had been productive of some of the greatest distresses under which the country laboured. The Hon. Member fur Hull complained that it was inequitable' for one species of proper ' ty,to pay snore towards the poor rates than another. Much had been heard of the hardships of one parish having to support a large number of poor, while another parish in its immediate vicinity had. none. Now he Conceived that the principle upon which the Hon. Member wished to render the s hipping rateable, was equally applicable to there cases, and one parish -has as touch right to call upon the other fur a contribution, as the. inhabitants of Hull to make the present demand. - General GASCOYNE spoke shortly against the Kilt. The SPEAKER said, as there did not seer* to be a clear understanding upon the manner in which this discussion had orig:nated, he would explain the nature of the Hon. Meru bei's ( Mr. Sykes's) motion. In consequence of the-Petitions which had been presented to the Honse„ a considerable de gree of feelitghad been excited concerning the merits of the• Bill; Under these 'circumstances, it was desirable fur the Hon. Member to niake a proposition fur fixing the day on which It might be' ead. The mere fixing it on the orders far a particular day, was not determining any thing but that the question should he brought on upon that day. After a' few words in explanation f;•tort Mr. Sykes, th e second re aring was fixed fur Tuesday the 27th of this month. Mr. WARR E moved-for leave to biing:in a Bill fur amend ing the general Enclesure Act.—Leave granted. CATHOLIC QUESTION. Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice us the part of his Right Hon; Friend the Member for the University of Dublin, (Mr. Plunkett), that he should bring the question of the Catholic Claims before the House, on Wednesday the 4iith.' - Mr. WYNNE gave nmiee of a motion far Wednesday, re latire to the Standing 01 - der for the regulation of Addresses. EVIDENCE BEFORIII COMMITTEES. Mr. BENNET rose to Move for the production of the notes taken by the Short-hand Writer of the House,: before the Police Committee, on the subject of the ((unduet of certain Magistrates in licensing puhlit!.-houses, as connected with the case of an individual - named Meek, who bad since presented a Petition to the mouse;' and that the Short-band Writer be •permitted to attend the Court of King 's Bench, on the trial of a prosecution. The King v. Sir N. Cement and Others, at the instance . of .vleek, and there to produce his notes, avid give evidence. Mr. BATHURST thhuglet this was a case deepl7 invalving the privileges of the Hioui.c. He submitted, it would be pro per that the whole question should Se refared to a Committee, tur them to repart to the House, whether it was proper that the,propositiun of the lion. Member should be. adopted. Mr. MA BER wal decAledly of opinion :he }louse should immediately put a neeatire on the motion, as the witnesses who appeal eat tic arre era. of the. House were retitled to the fullest protection. Mr. C. W. W YNN was of opinion, the House could net decide, without previous inquire by a , Conrinittee, to see bow for the evidense t tie Shen t-hmid Writer was to give would affect the witnesses hefir e the original Committee. 'Mr. BENNET then expressed. a Wish to Withdraw his ruo tient ; which was agreed to. Mr. BENNET,then moved for a return of the number of convictions for forgeries in the last three ears, and the" num ber executed for that offence in that pet - Md.—Ordered. - Also for 'the ntunber of persons convicted ill the same period for uttering forged,inank of England notes; the num ber who have pleaded guiltA to he minor offence; also a lteturn of the numlier of persons transported to Botany Bay since 1816; the periods of - their sentence, whether for 7, 14, or 21 years, or for life.—Ordered: Also, for Copies of" Grants of Land to - Convicli in New South Wales,-with the names of the Grantees, Ike.—OrtiervA.

Alter a few weeds from-the Cliancellor of the Ex•chequer, the motion was agreed to. Mr. CHETWYND then moved for a Return of the Fines: imposed b. , the Court of Kin;'s .Peach, from Hilary Term, 1818, to Fillary Term, S2l ; and the appropriation of the same. He mnderstood these Ines had been given by the Crown to-the high liailiif of Westminster. -He old not know whcthar it were so or nut; •Inst he thought the House . should enquire into the sub;:ect. Seljeant. ONSLOW slid not Ilse to oppose the motion, but only to correct a mistake of his Hon. Friend. The fines did go to the High Lailiff, but not in consequence of a grant front the Crown : but in consequence of his having purc'tased the situation of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, ,for a valuable consisteration, and, in more instances than one, ed heavy expences at elections. After a sho:t conversation bet weeen Sir J. Newport, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lusingtuti, and Mr. Cbetwynd, the motion was agreed-' it. The Report of the _lrish Judges Salaries Bill was brought up and received. The Resolutions embodied in the Report were then' sepa rat ety put and agreed to. The Order of the Day was then read fo r the whole House resolving'itself into a Conimittee upon the Flax and Cotton Duties. The Speaker accordingly left the Chair, and the House being in a Committee, too duties on those laticles were continued for two years. The House then rtsnmed, and it was ordered 'hat the Report should be received to-morrow. The, House in like manner , went ihl o Committee . upon. the Clerks of Irish J.

There can ne longer be any doubts respectings the passage of the Austrians over the Po, ,and events may therefore soon be expected that will be 'decisive of the fate of Naples one way or other. Tile question between the Allied Powers anel the Neapolitan Revolutionists is highly in teresting and important; but, as we have before had occasion to observe, there has not been snit cient.information to clear the 'Opposition Orators in Parliament, or the writers in the Journals de voted to their cause; from the charge of gross inconsistency, in urging' Ministers to take an active part in the contest. If the great body of the people of Naples are anxious for a Repre sentative. Gove;um'ent, under a limited Mo narchy, every frieuel to the -rights of mankind must heartily wish 'them success ; yet even in that case, 'the British Government would not be under any_ obligation to interfere ; and, if it were to do se, Misisters nO doubt would be censured for,' such officious interposition by the very same men who now condemn them for filgid neutrality. But if a set of fac- Cons miscreants, aided by a misguided and cor rupt soldiery, should have no.oater aim but to establish a Republic, while they pretend to re- L spect the rights that ought to belong to the So-. vereign, still our Government ought not to inter fere, while other Powers, who have a direct in terest in the question., are-actually engaged in the cause, and by oppoinz their measures we should. only .involve.ourselves in the danger of a new warfare, at a time too when we are already so much • harthened by the expences of the late long-continued war, -without necessity on our part, or any prospect of national advantage.— The , Debates in , the house of Lords last night, the pertinacity of Lord GnEY, and the vehe-. mence of Lord IIoLLANo, "speak for themselves, and require no' comment; Perhaps the attacks of the latter on o':her Powers, particularly on the Emperor of ittissiA, will appear to the world at large as neither consistent with the dignity of a Legislator nor" the manners of a Gentleman. FonrrcN TuAnr.H-The witnesses examined before this Co since Friday last are Jotrx LIVINDP.I6GE, ES(I., - WILLIAM SMITH, Esq., of Liverpoo!, and Mr. Tdom.ts TookE.—We are informed, that the Committee now intend to sit daily, and to make their Report on the Timber Trade with the 'utmost dispatch..We are at a loss to conjecture the motive for this expedition ;, we know of no gailt,:that it can effect ; and- it is evident that it may) e the source of much mis chief and injustice, if the Report is immediately followed up by any legislatiVe measure, before the several important and valuable classes of the community, who are so deeply interested in• the question,laVe had an, opportunity of considering that. Report and the evidence upon which it will be founded. We can recollect, that in all the great. commercial questions which arose in the time of Mr. PITT, that Illustrious Statesman, pa tiently, and free from any bias to either pdeticular classes, or any favourite . principles of his own, endeavoured to acquire the most minute informa tion upon them, from every party, in an open and manly manner, so that if the information tendered by either party was not 'strictly correct, or was brought forward in such a manner as to give it a particular colouring, the other party was able im mediately to point out the fallacy,and thus to pre vent the Minister and the Legislature from decid. lug great national questions on garbled and erro neous statements. We regret that the same sys tem does not prevail in the present day ; for we confess that we do not see the advantage of the Lchnnge; or _any reason why a , subject of such importance as the Colonial Timber Trade should not be considered in an open Committee, and why so much anxiety- should be manifested to withhold the evidence that is daily brought for warel.—There is, at least, one advantage in pub licity on questions which s affect large bodies of individuals, as it precludes men, whose attach ment to their Country and its institutions it may be desirable to conciliate, saying'or imagining, that if they had betha present some explanation might have been'given, or some argument used, which would have set the matter in a different light, and ►nduced the Committee to come to a 'determination more favourable to them, and such ss the real merits of the case demanded.— Netwithslonding, heweveri all the disadvan tages and difficulties which the British Ship owner and the Colonist have to encounter in the mode of investigating this question, we feel a firm conviction that the impolicy of imposing any duty on Colonial Timber, unless an addi tional countervailing duty is also imposed on Baltic and Norway Timber, will be seen by the Legislature, for every man of practical experience must know that any duty levied on Colonial Timber will be paid and borne by the Ship owner, whose freight at the present moment is not more than equal to the payment of his ex peaces, leaving little or no profit, and that con sequently the Ship-owner must be driven from the Colonial Trade, without any other channel of employment being opened to him, the several , branches 'of manufacture dependant upon him ruined, and a valuable nursery for our seamen destroyed. But we have so often laid before the Public our sentiments on this subject, and we feel so convinced that their propriety and correct ness must be evident to every rational and un prejudiced mind, that we are persuaded it would be as fatiguing to our Readers as to our selves to pursue it further at the present moment.

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1 PASSAGE OF THE PO: This movement is positively announced, in Letters recixed yesterday by way of Frankfort, to he.ve taken place on the 29th of January, the day originally stated. The following is an Ex tract of a Letter, dated Frankfort, Feb. 12 : The important information which follows, is taken from ciao of our Journals : 64 LAYBACJX, Fss. t.--The Austrian Army passed the Po on the 28th and 29th of January, and is advancing upon Naples by three different routes. Forty thousand men will irst advance to the frontiers, who will announce, in case of re sistance, that they will be followed by 80,000 more Majesty the King of Naples has ad dressed,a Proclamation to the inhabitants cif the Two Sicilies, in whicli he orders the immediate dissolution of the Parliament. He also calls on them to receive the Austrians as friends, and promises, on his return, to give them a Constitu. tion.—We have not time to ascertain the effect of this intelligence on our exchange. 44 P. S.. we just learn that a Copy of the Pro clamation by the King of Naples has .been re ceived in this place, and that it accords, in sub stance, with what is above stated." The French Papees last received contain a variety of paragraphs, whose tendency is to con firm the intelligence that the Austrian Army ha'd positively marched for Naples. In a Letter received by - a respectable Mercan tile HonSe in the: City from their correspondent in Frankfort, dated the 12th inst., it is stated that the Frankfort Journal of that day' contains a Proclamation from King Ferdinand, declaring the Parliament of, Naples an unlawful Assembly, recommending to the Neapolitans to receive fhe Austrians as friends, and promising to grant them a Consittution on his return froM Laybach ; and that it also contains an account of the advance of the Austrians on Naples, in three divisions of -10,000 each. The die therefore is now cast-.- (Morning Qtronicle.) EffIGHTGN, FEB. 18.—Divine Service, in the presence' of the KING, Princess AUGUSTA, Royal Suite and Family, - vas this morning performed at tbe:Palace by the Dean of llEn.F.Funn. .The KING returns to town on - Thursday, and on Friday, as we have already stated, his MA JESTY will hold a Levee At Carlton ' TUE KING'S VISIT TO 111,ELAND.--The visit to Ireland, is now considered quite certain. It is said to be his MAJESTY'S inte4tion to disemb ar k at Cork, to proceed thence to Kiiocklofty, the seat of the Earl of DoNoucnmonE, onwards to Kilkenny Castle, and to the metropolis. An idea prevails that the first visit will be paid to the Marquess of Tnomomn, at his maimificent, seat 'on the harbour of Cork, which is too- pro bable to be doubted.— ( Freeman's Journal, Feb. 15.) The Duke of YORK attended Divine Service on Sunday, at the Chapel Royal. The following company dined with the QUEEN on Saturday :—Duke of Bedford, Earl Grey, Lord Nugent, Lord Ossulston, Mr. and M r s. Bennett, Mr. and Lady Louisa Lambton,"Sir h. Ferguson, Mr. Brougham, Mrs. Damer, Dr. Lushington, Mr. Wilde, W. A. Maddocks, Esq. and Alderman Wood. Yesterday morning Lord CLANWILLI 431 arrived in Downing-street, from Vienna. SIR J. G. CRAWFORD.—A supersedeas arrived yesterday at the House of Correction, to arrest the execution of a Judge's warrants sent to Mr. ADKINS, the Governor, to' execute upon Sir J. G. CRAWFORD, at the suit of the Duke de CAZE. The unfortunate Genileman has been removed to a private 'madhouse, and consequently no further proceedings will take place. KEAN has performed Macbeth, Reuben Glen roll,. Brutus, and other parts, with success, equal to his Othelloatichard, &c. at New York. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—The cuckoo was heard on Saturday and Sunday last , by several of the inhabitants of Cox-hill, near Carlisle, being about three months before the usual time of these birds. BOW-STREET.—Last night a young man, genteelly, dressed, was brought to the Office, and underwent an_ examination before RICHARD BIRNI, Esq., charged with climbing from the pit into one of the,. orchestra boxes, and committing an outrage, and making a disturbance, at Drury-lane Theatre. The Gentleman agreed that he had acted wrong; and that he would pay the extra 3s. 6d. to return to a box. "Mr. Elliston did not press the matter further.
