By Edward Young, LLD. 3s. ; MISCELLANEOUS. eltiT ICS AND ANNDTATIONS.—Whoever considers the re volutions of learning, and the various questions of greater or less importance, upon which wit and reason have exercised their powers, must lament the unsuccessfulness of inquiry, and the slow advances of truth, when he reflects, that great part of the labour of every writer is only the destruction of those that went before him.. The first.care of the builder of a new system is to demolish the fabrics which are standing. The chief desire of him that comments ari_author, is to shew how much other com !mutations lave corrupted and obscured him. The opinions prevalent in one age, as truths above the reach of controversy, are confuted and rejected in another, and rise again to recep tion in reinter times. Thus the human mind is kept in mo tion without progress. Thus, - sometimes truth and error, and sometimei contrarieties of error, take each other's place by re ciprocal invasion. The tide of seeming knowledge which is poured over one generation, retires, and leaves another naked and barren ; the sudden meteors of intelligence s which for a while shoot their beams into the regions of obscurity, ona.sud den withdraw their lustre, and leave mortals again to grope their way. THE ROCK OF ITOREB.—Nearly a century ago, several tra vellers of respectability, at different times, visited the tract of country over which the Iraelites passed in their- journey from the Red Sea to the Promised Land, In examining the region in the neighbourhood - of Mount Sinai they severally discovered, among other evidences of the Mosaic II i story, the Rock of Horeb, now known by the name of Meribah or Massah, from which the great Jewish Leader, in a miraculous manaer, drew water for the immense host of his countrymen. One of these travellers was Pococke, an Englishman of respectability and integrity. As his description of this monument of antiquity, so interesting for the corroboration which it affords to the Sacred Historian, and so venerable for having been the object upon which was wrought so wonderful a miracle as that above mentioned, is minute and satisfactory, it is worthy of selection and perusal._ " Here they shew the Rock, which they say Moses struck and the waters flowed out, when God told him he would stand before him upon the Rock of Horeb. It is on the foot of Mount Seric, and is.a . red granite ston e , fift een f eet long, ten wide, and about twelve high. On both s id es o f it, towards the south end and at the top of the stone, for about the breadth of eight inches, it is discoloured as by the running of water ; and all down this part on both sides, and at the top, are a sort of openings or mouths, some of which resemble the lion's mouth, that is sometimes cut in stone spouts,- but appear not to be the work of a tool. There are about twelve on each side, and within every one is a horizontal crack, and in some also a crack perpendicularly down. There is also a crack from one of the mouths next the hill, that extends two or three feet towards the north, and all around the south end. The Arabs call this stone the Stone of Moses.'' The Greeks call it the Stone of Fountains, and it is traditionary with them, that it is the same that Hosea: struck with his rod. THE HEGIRA.—The hegira in chronology is a ce;ebrited epochs used by , the Arabs and Mahometans for the computa tion of time. The word is Arabic, and denotes to fly, quit one's country, family, friends; &c. The event whrth gave rise to this epocha was Nahomet's flight from Mecca. The magic-: trates of ,thatmity, fearing that his impostures Might raise a se-. dition, resolved:to expel ; accordingly, they effected' about the period A.D. 621 Their computation of time began with the new moon of that period, which, is the reason of the great regard for crescents in the East, where every mosque is adorned with them. , ~,,1,.!;,,f,0-./4, .*- .;;;„, 4 „ ~ ~ \ . - ‘,..i.

At half past three o'clock the Royal AsSent was brought down by the Loa D Cii.iNcELLoa, the Earl of SHAFTESBUity, and Earl BATHUItsT, as his Majesty's Commissioners, to the following- Bills :—The Crown Lands Itevenue Improve ment Bill, the Irish Law C4rts Fees Regula tion Bill, the Irish Nisi Prius 3 ,Bill, the Irish Rate of interest Bill, and several frivate Bills. Mr. Iligh►Wore, from the St. Nicholas Bay. Company, presented a copy of the Annual Ac counts of that Company.—Laid on the table. The Irish Elections Expences Bill was read a third time, passed, and returned to the Commons. The East India Prize Money Bill was read a second time. SLAVE TRADE. The Marquess of LANSD OWN gave notice, that on Wednesday next he should move an Address to the Crown, on the subject of the Foreign Slave Trade. On the Noble Earl's motion, their Lordships .were ordered to be summoned on that day, and the Papers lately laid before the House respect ing the .Slave Trade were ordered to be printed. The Irish Small Debts Recovery Bill went through a Committee, and was reported. CRIMINAL LAWS. The Marquess of LANSDOIVNgave notice, that on Thursday next he should move the second reading of the Bills for mitigating the punish ment in cases of Robbery on Navigable Rivers, and Stealing in private Houses.—Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House having been in the House of Lords, the SPEAKER stated, that the Royal Assent had been given by Commission to several Public and Private Bills, for which see our Report of the Lords. Mr. F. BUXTON presented a Petition' from the Ward of Aldersgate, in favour of the Bill to prevent Cruelty to Animals. —Ordered to lie ot, the table; as was a Petition from. certain Shopkeepers and other Inhabitants of the Parish of St. Giles's in the Fields, complaining of the manner in which the Metro. polis Paving Act was carried into execution, in preventing the sale of their goods. The Hon. Member observed, that there was some justice in complaint of these Petitioners, and if they did not obtain redress, he should next Session feel it his duty to bring the subject before the House. On the motion of the same Honourable Member, a return was ordered of the number of Forged Notes which had been presented to the Bank in the years 1819, 1820, and 1821, up to the latest period at which the same could be made out, stating the amount and description of those notes, together with a Re turn of the number of persons charged, convicted and executed for forging or uttering the same, with those also who had been apprehended and convicted for having had forged notes in their possession. The Minutes of the Evidence taken before the Committee upOn the Scotch Burghs were brought up and laid on the table. The Transfer of Stock (Ireland) Bill was read a second time and committed for Monday. . VAGRANCY. Mr. CHETWYND brought up the Report of the Vagrant Laws' Amendment Bill. Mr. COMITENAY expressed a, hope that it was not pro posed by this Bill to revive any of the obnoxious old law with respect to whipping for vagrancy, adding, that it was appre hended this Bill would interfere with the 59th of the late King, with respect to the removal of. paupers to their respective pa rishes. Mr. CHETWYND replied in the negative to the first obser vation of the Von.• Member, expressing his decided disappro bation of a practice which too often subjected paupers to harsh treatment for mere destitution. The main object of this Bill . was to prevent the removal of vagrants, which was calculated to have cost the country for some time back no less than 100,0001. a year, while the practice too often presented scenes quite shmiking to humanityand•decency. To remedy these evils, it was proposed by the present Bill, that no vagrant should here after be removed as heretofore, but that where a pauper was found to be really destitute, he or she should be relieved, while, where an act of vagrancy or disOrderlY conduct was really committed, the offender should be punished upon con viction by imprisonment, and labour, - the prisoner to receive a portion of his e a rnin gs f rom suc h labour. There was also a clause in the Bill, to abolish the present system of rewards for the apprehension of vagrants, the a mo un t an d apportion ment of such reward to be hereafter at 'the discretion of the Magistracy. With regard to, the second observation, 'the Bill expressly provided not to interfere with the arrangement of the 59th of the late King as to the passing of the poor of Ireland and Scotland, who had not committed acts of vagrancy. The Report was agreed to, and. the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Loan 13111, and the Irish Treasury Bills Bill were cotri mitted.Report on Monday. - • - • - On the committal of the -Exchequer Bills Bill, - • • Sir E. KNATCHBULL took this opportunity of asking his. Hon; Friend, the Secretary of the Treasury, why no reply had yet been returned to the appeal made by a certain individual resident in the vicinity of the Metropolis, to the Lords of the Treasury, with respect to the surcharge • upon horses, as it was very material to make public, for the guidance of others, the decision which the Treasury thought proper to pronounce upon the subject. . Mr. LUSIIINGTON said, that he wished it were in his power to give his Honourable Friend a satisfactory answer ;• but the question had been communicated to him. too late tins day to afford time for collecting the necessary information. But he hoped to be able to give his Honourable Friend an answer on .Monday, and that that.answer would prove satisfactory. • The Bill went through the Committee, the House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. The committal of the• East India Private Trade Bill , the second reading of the Rum Importation Bill, and of the Appro priation Bill, were postponed until Tuesday. AGRICULTURAL 1101 SR 'TAX. Mr. CURIVEN, on rising to move the second reading of the Husbandry Horses Duty Repeal Bill, observed th a t it was un derstood there would be no oppoSition to that motion, it being the declared intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to re serve the further objection of Ministers to this measure until a future stage, when a discussion was to be looked for, and when he (Mr. C.) hoped the friendsof agriculture and economy would take care to attend—([fear, hear !)—as there could be little doubt, of as full an attendance on the other side as could be con veniently contrived—(llear, hear, hear !)—However, as it was most desirable, for the satisfaction of the country, that the deci sion of the House upon this question should be pronounced with the least possible delay, as the public Were naturally most anxious upon the subject; if, indeed, any unnecessary delay weroallowed, the country - would, he - had no doubt, feel a very serious disappointment. Therefore he should, upon the present motion being agreed to, move that the Bill should be committed on Monday. Mr. LUSHINGTON said that he did not rise to oppose the Honourable Member's Motion, but to express a wish that the committal of the Bill should be rather - ft:Cc& for Tuesday, as so much business-already ~stood for Monday, and it was t o be wished 'that the discussion' ofhis measure should be brought forward at an, early hour. Sir J. NEWPORT expressed a -wish that Monday should be rather fixed upon than Tuusday, as there was .a greater pro bability of the discussion being brought forward at an early .. . . ..- ~..,, '1 644. '.i 7 . • " P : • , * l7 . '. hoar on the former, than on the latter day, as Order's had the precedency on Monday, while, Notices of Motions had the pre cedency on Tuesday; . Sir E. KNATCHBULL trusted that the Hon. Member for Cumberland would . persevere in moving the committal of this Bill on Monday, and .expresied a hope- that Ministers would withdraw their opposition to" it; in order to second the sense of the House, and to satisfy the just- 4aiin of the Agricalturists.— The Bill was reed a second time.- LUSII6IGTON ,renewed. his sut , nStion for the.poSt ts, pOnrn-m et of the Com m ittee.until Tuesday. Mr...CALGRAFT expressed ahope and confidence that his Hon. Friend would not complv - with this suggestiop, but persist in his motion for the committal of the . Bill on Monday. The Order for the committal of the Bili was fixed for Monday. • - - The Stamps on• Deeds (Ireland) Bill was .read a third time and passed. , On the Motion of Mr. CHETWYND, 'the Summary Pro ceedings Bill was committed. Some Amendments were adopt ed, on the motion of Mr. Chetwynd, after a few remarks across the table from Mr. Calcraft, and the Report was; caerpri, to be brought up on Tuesday. - • •-• Mr. CALCRAFT moved the Printing of the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Committee upon the duties and sale, ries of the. Receivers General of Land. and Assessed Taxes in England. - • • _ . . . GRENFELL disapproved of the Printing of these Mi mites, as the Committee had not concluded its labours, and was likely to be re-appointed in the next Sessions. Mr. CALCRAFT observed, that this Committee had pre sented a Report to the House, and he wished to know the grounds upon which that Ciunmittee had come to the conclu sions stated in this Report ? - Mr. CIIETWTYND, as a Member of the Committee from which the Report proceeded, thoUght the Printing of the Evi dence inexpedient, as in some respects that evidence was rather ex-parte, but still he Would not oppose the Honourable Mem ber s motion. _ . _ The Evidence was ordered to be printed. . The Assessed Taxes Composition Bill was committed, and a conversation arose, in which Messrs. Lushington, A. Baring,T. 'Wilson, N. Calvert, D. Browne, R. Bernal, and the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, took a part. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER complained, that according to the Bill, persons who wished to reduce.their _establishment, might arrange for it upon the new composition, provided such reduction took place a month before such compo sition was proposed, and that those who desired to renew their compositions, without any inquiry as . to the. nature of their establishment, must pay five per cent. upon the rate of their present assessment. Persons who desired to compound for the first time, were to do so in the usual manner. The House resuming, the Report was ordered to be brought up on Tuesday. A person from the Commissioners of the Margate Pier pre.. sented the usual Annual Accounts.—Ordered to lie on the table. CROWN LANDS. Sir E. KNATCHBULL rose to present a Petition from se veral Parishes in the County of Kent, to which he was anxious to call the attention of the House, as it not only related to the interests of the individual Petitioners, but embraced a'question in which the public interests were involved. It appeared that some time since a considerable tract of land in these parishes had been purchased by the Crown. When this land was in the occupation of the vendors, it was of course liable to the payment of land tax and poor rates, but as soon as it came into the posses sion of the Crown, it was relieved from these burthens, and the occupiers holding other land within the limits of these parishes were consequently saddled with the. exclusive payment of the land tax and poor rates. He trusted that these Petitioners, up on their cases being made knownto theGovernment,vrould receive immediate relief, and that it would not be necessary for him to, propose any substantive measure-to Parliament on the sub ject. It however, he -sheetiti be disappointed in this expeeta tion, he should certainly feel it his duty to bring their case un der the consideration of the House in the next Session. He was aware that the Royal PrerogatiVe might be 'set up in oppo sition to the claims of the Petitioners, and it the lands were in the actual occupation of the Crciwn, he was ready to admit that their case would not be so strong as it was, but the House would recollect that it was stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman who presided over the Woods and Forests (Mr. Hnskisson), that all the revenues derived from the Crown were carried to the Consolidated Fund. It was not the Crown, therefore, which was exonerated from these burthens ' but the public, who de rived benefit at the expence of the Petitioners. The Petition was signed only by two individuals, but it had been already laid before the Government, and had it not been for some ac cidentid Circumstances, it wouldhave been presented at a much earlier period of the Session. Mr. W. DUNDAS said, that in purchases of land made by the Cniwn, the exemption from Land Tax and Poor Rates en -banded the amount of the purchase money, and in this instance the Crown had paid the market price. The •CtIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER .observed, that there was a distinction between lands purchased for the use and pleasure of the Crown, and which from time imme morial had been exempted from the burthens of 'Land Tax and Poor Rates, and purchases made in the name of the CroWn for the public service. There was every disposition on the part of 'the Treasury to do justice to the Petitioners. Mr. BARING inquired for what public service these lands had been purchased ? , - The CHANCELLQR of the EXCHEQUER said, they had been purchased for the purpose of growing timber. Mi. BARING objected to the interference of Government in buying up land for the purpose of growing timber. No country in the world had produced so much oak timber as this for naval purposes, and that circumstance was mainly to be attributed to the growth of timber being left in the hands of individuals. Sir I. COFFIN 'maintained that much more dependence was to be placed upon timber obtained from the King's forests, than upon the timber purchased from Merchants. After a few words from Ur. WAItRE and Mr. LUSII 1N G TON, . • Sir E. KNATCHBULL said, he had entire confidence in the justice of the Right Honourable. Gentleman, and in his hands he would leave the case of the Petitioners. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table and to be printed. STATE OF IRELAND. . Dlr. H. GRATTAN rose to ask the Right lion. Gentleman opposite, whether there was any ground for the reports in cir culation as 'o the disturbances in Ireland ? Mr. C. GRANT hoped the Hon. Member would allow him to decline answering his question. TRANSIT DUTIES ON LINEN. Mr. DAWSON wished to know from the Right Hon. Gen tleman, the Vice-President of the. Board of Trade, whether it was his-intention to propoSe any Measure for repealing the Transit Duties on Foreign Linen ? It was of importance that the Irish manufacturers should have an opportunity of expres sing their sentiments to the Mouse on this subject. Mr. WALLACE said, that it was certainly his intention to propose a measure before th e en d o f th e Session. for repealing the Transit Duties on Foreign' Linen,' and that every. opportu nity would be.afforded to the persons-interested in the. measure, to lay. their case before Parliament. IRISH REVENUE INQUIRY BILL. On the motion of the CHANCE:LLOR of 'the Ex- CHEQUER,, that. the House resolve itself into a Committee on the Irish Revenue' Inquiry Bill, Sir J. NEwport'i said, that the abuses in the collection of the Irish r e v e nue were o f soexten sive a nature, that they could only be reached by a Parliamentary Commission. It was a remark f; diminished inthe x t 1 at the exact proportion as the bur.: thews of the people had been increased. One of the, effects of this excessive taxation was to in crease an_ evil under which Ireland had long la boured=he alluded to the absence of its gentry. In proportion as the taxation of-- articles of luxury, which were-necessaryto - men of'a certain rank in life, was increased, the main inducement to the re sidence of the gentry in Ireland was taken away. He strongly 'recommended the skido . ption of the 13i11 now Under the con . sideraliPu" of the House, in the full confidence that . the Commis:lion would be composed of such persons as would give weight to their appointment, and appreciate the rRICE „ IN PENCE. great responsibility of the trust reposed in them. The,Cn.iNcELLOn. of the EXCHEQUER entirely agreed,withthe Honourable Baronet (Sir.J. New•L port) in the importance of the measure before the House; and in the necessity •of appointing Such individuals to fill the Commission, as would dischar. ; e their dtity With zeal; integrity, and fearless. independence. Mr, CALk.',RAFT agreed with 'his Right Hon. Friend and the Right lion. Gentleman oppo site, -in the importance of the measure, and that much depended upOn the selection of the per Sons appointed as Conirissioners. He feared that .some new burden must be imposed upon the country to provide salaries for these Commissioners, but he trusted that no Member of Parliament, unless be already treid - an-Official situation, c: rank; he tp pointed. The influence of places and sittiltions of emolument in that House was already much too extensive, and they ought to be extremely cautious in creating new offices for Members of their own body.. If it were intended to select any Member of that House who was not already .dependent upon the Crown,,he shoUld certainly object to such a course, unless a special case were made out. The House then resolved itself into a Commit tee, and the Bill was read a first time. Upon the clause for appointing the •Commis sioners, The CHANCELLOR,Of the EXCHEQUER moved that the blank be filled up with the following names :—Right Hon. T. Wallace, Mr. F.:Lewis, Mr. J. C. Beering, Mr. W. ;T. Lushington, and Colonel Herries. It was provided that the Com missioners should receive, no salary, but as it was usual for Parliament to make some compensation upon .the close•of a Commission, this would be matter for subsequent consideration. The duties of the Commissioners would be attended with considerable labour, and would probably con tinue for a considerable perio.d of time.: It was but reasonable therefore that their expeuces should be paid, but no climpensation for their services .was provided by this Bill. : Mr. HUME was not aware that live Commis sioners were necessary to discharge the duties of this Commission. Qf this fact, however, he was fully aware, that if the Right lion. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Wallace) had any business to transact at his office in London, as Vice-Presi dent of the Board of Trade, he could not per form the duties 'of a Commissioner in Ireland. Mr. lierries, he understood; held the office of Auditor of the Civil List, and if that Gentleman could be absent in Ireland, for a'period of six months or longer, he saw no reason why his sa lary might not be saved to the country. He had as great a respect as any man could entertain for an Hon. Member of that House, who had been named by the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, but he objected to the appointment of any Mem ber unless he:distinctly declared that he would receive no salary or compensation. It was, in fact, holding out a bribe to individuals to bring them' under the. influence of the Government. Hon. Gentlemen opposite• might smile,-.but that was the plain fact. If the Commissioners were to receive compensation at all, lie thought it would be much better to give them a:salary at once, and determine its amount in the present Bill. • Mr. F-LEWT:i considered that after-the re marks which had been made 'on - its bein g pro posed that his nam e s h ou ld a p pear i n .the Co mmission, it was necessary for him to say some thing. ThOugh he had.not.been in the habit of - putting himself ostentatiously forward,. he trusted the House would do hint the justice to.ailuiit that he had_ always been ready to give the country the benefit of his services When he thought they could be useful. - He was just as willing to serve for nothing on the present occasion as any person could be, but was it the object of the Hon. Gen tleman to lay it down as a general - rale, that Commissioners so appointed should have nothing for their time and labour, or was it , intended to propose that he alone should not be paid. If ..he were asked - as an individual, he would be ready to take upon himself the duty for nothing, but a rule could not be laid down in his case which would not extend to others. Was it to be as sumed that a Member of that House, who was paid on such an occasion for services, which he honestly and diligently performed, must of neces sity be thenceforward so warped in his opinions, that he could no longer be trusted? If he thought this was to be assumed, he' could wish the earth to gape and swallow hint from the disgrace that would fall on human nature, in the .case he .had supposed. For himself he would say, that pay him or pay him not, he would honestly 'perform his duty: But if it were to be assumed that peo ple could not be horiett•Whd were.paid-;for their services, he would say that it would be impoS sible to carry on the affairs of this country, or of any other country under. the sun.' The labour that would be imposed by this CommisSiotiwould not be' light.
