of inquiry on the Table. Mr. Hodgkins, who had denounced the peculators, had been dismissed,and this was the punishment held in terrorem over the heads of those persons who attempted to point out any abuse. The Hon. Member, after some further observations with respect to the esta blishments at Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Guern sey, concluded by stating, that a reduction of 2.5 per cent. ought to take place upon the proposed grant ; he would therefore move that a sum not exceeding 15,1221. 7s. 6d. be granted for the above service. Mr. WARD answered the observation of Mr. Hume. With respect to Sheerness, it was the intention of the head of the Ordnance to reduce that establishment so soon as the stores could be removed to Chatham. Until the change we.y effected, the present expense must of necessity go on. The Hon. Member objected to what he called large salaries enjoyed by Gentlemen who performed services. But if Officers of distin guished talent rendered great services to the country, they were intitled to remuneration. With respect to the Storekeeper, the Hon. Gen tleman ought always to recollect that large sala ries were given, no t as a remuneration for the duties of the office, but for long services. The Storekeeper alluded to had been thirty years in the service. He did not see that it was possible to strike off the proposed reduction. The Hon. Gentleman had perhaps been misled on the sub. jest of the duties discharged by officers. Malig nant charges Were frequently made, which were generally destitute of foundation. A letter was -received a short time since, filled with statements - "lid: the Board refused to notice. They were t hen told, if it was not attended to, the letter 'would be sent to Mr. Hume. Sir W. CONGREVE observed, that he was not in th e habit of speaking of himself, but the ob. sPrvations of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen called for a few words in explanation. The lion. Aiember said, he was overpaid for his services. All he had at the Royal Arsenal did not exceed twenty-five shillings per day. lie was Inspec tor of the Repository and Inspector of Machines; for the first he had twenty shillings, and the se cond five shillings per day. The first office was held by his father for many years, and since he had been raised to the situation, it had been his _Pride to discharge the duties of it. If the Hon. Gentleman went to Woolwich, he would see that the Repository was a military school for all branches of service. The pupils were instructed in the art of passing artillery over ravines, liar% row roads, canals, and various military move ments. lie had had the happiness to complete t he Machine'Department, and if the lion. Mem ber would take the trouble to see what had been done, he would say the services of the depart ll'eot were not overpaid. In the laboratory there could be no tinecure. The nature of the duty, a Id the preparation of stores rendered a fire-mas ter of great imp or t ance , no t w ith s t an di ng t h e - "on. Member had described that office as useless. Mr. J. SMITH bore testimony to the. great ser- Vices rendered to the country by the exertions of the Hon.

SOLEM QUIS DIOERE 1%.1 Lfri UM A UDEAT LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1821. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. They inform us of the atrocious murder of the Canon VINUESA, by the populace, of Madrid. The following are the particulars of this horrible transaction : " PARIS, MAY 11. " We have received the Spanish Papers up to the sth, which have arrived by express. The Canon Vinuesa was on the 4th of the month the victim of,popular fury ; he was massacred in his prison by an infuriated mob, who broke open the doors in spite of the resistance of the National Guard then on duty.__ The Ministerial Journal gives these afflicting details - " The Canon Vinuesa was, on the evening of the 3d, sen tenced by_Arias, the Judge of the Court of premier instance, to ter.-yearti of labouion board the galleys at one of the strong forts on the coast of Africa, and his two nephews were merely repri manded, on the ground that the imprisonment which they had undergone was a sufficient punishment for their crime. On the morning of the 4th the news of this sentence began to circulate through Madrid : great agitation ensued, and groups of people were formcd, who displayed the greatest discontent at the sen tence, the populace thinking that he deserved death. , " The disturbance gradually increased till three o'clock in the afternoon : the people then went to the prison with the in tention of seizing the person of the Canon. The detachment of the national militia appointed to guard him opposed this at tempt; but these troops being obliged to give way to the force against them, shut themselves up in the prism, and commenced a brisk fire on the multitude from the windows. In the mean time the people took possession of the town magazine, which is situated near the prison, and with the implements which they procured forced the principal gate, and, notwithstanding all the resistance made by the national guards, penetrated to the pri_ soner's apartment. " The remaining circumstances of the event are related in different ways, which induces us to postpone details of them. `We merely know that from the marks on the body of the de ceased, death appears to have been inflicted by the same in struments which served to force the doors of the prison. It is said, that all the men composing the detachment of the national guard on duty at the prisOn have been put under arrest, and that an inquiry is to be instituted to ascertain whether they acted on their defence conformably to the regulation. It is said that Vinuesa was killed by the blow of a hatchet on the head, and that he expired under the bands of the assassin. " The Count of Carthagena, (General Morino) has been ap pointed Captain-General of New Castile, in place of Don Ramon Vilalba, who has been dismissed."—(GAZETTE DE FRANCE.) These Papers contain also the following inte igence " PARIS, MAY 11. " Messrs. Jauy, Member of the French Academy ? Arnault, Emaniiel Dupaty, Cauchois Lemaire and Jal, Editors of the MinaQa, accused of various infringements of the laws on the Censorship, appeared to-day before the Correctional Tribunal. " Mr. Ferriere, the King's Counsel, directed the cause against them, and concluded by praying that they might be condemned each to a month's imprisonment, and 200 francs fine. " Mr. Dupin, sen. displayed extraordinary eloquence in their defence, and never perhaps showed greater ability. Messrs. Jauy, Arnault, and Dupaty, were heard in their own defence ; and Thursday next was fixed for the passing of their sentence. " A printed Paper has been distributed in the Courts of the Peers, signed by ,Messrs. Delamotte, Des Conies, Paquet, Brices, I'egula, and Reney, Captains, Lieutenants, and Sub lieutenants in the Ex-legion of the Seine. These accused coin- plain of having been arrested at Mons, in the Netherlands, and of having been delivered up to the French authorities. They protest against the delivering up (Extradition) of their persons by a Government which they had not offended, and whose laws they had not violated ; they protest against the principles of Extradition. They do not complain of their own fate, but are on the contrary happy to appear before judges whom they would have asked for, if the choice had been left to them— (CONSTITUTIONNEL, MAY 12.) " The Royal Court of Grenoble (Chamber of Accusation) has passed judgment in the affair relative to the troubles in that city on the 20th March last. It has sent Marc Colombat, Student of Law ; Joseph Foulquier, Chas. Renauldon, Advo cate; Hyppolite Cecilion, Student; Claude Reviere, manufac turer ; Bayoud, jun. ; Antone Dussert, journeyman printer; Etienne Finet, journeyman glover ; and Auguste Dumas, an Officer out of service, to be tried by the Court of Assizes, for crimes provided against by Art. I, 3,5, and 8, of the law of 17th Slay, 1789. The Court has liberated three other per sons who were in confinement.--(JouRNAL DES DEBATS, MAY 12.) • " Several, vessels, on board of which were many Piedmon tese and Neapolitan refugees, have been obliged to put into Antibes ; and other ports on the coast of Var, ol account of the violent gales from the North West. They sailed again as soon as the weather permitted, in order to proceed to Barcelona; a few of the refugees obtained leave to go by land to that destina tion.—(JounNAL DE PARIS.) " LECH, APRIL 23. " Private letters mention a new Convention said to be con chided between Austria and the Government of Naples, accord ing to which only 30,000 men arc to remain in the latter king dom. It is stated that General Frimont was the first to propose the reduction of his army, as the great majority of the inhabit ants of all classes, without exception, have declared against the revolutionary system, and that the whole population is animated by art excellent spirit. Thus the maintenance of tranquillity can be guaranteed. It is said that in consequence of this Con vention, the eorjs of General Stutterheim returns to Lombardy, and is actually in march for that destination. Five thousand men belonging to that corps passed by the way of Rome,- and the Holy Father has been pleased to give them his apostolic , be nediction. The corps of General Lederer, it is stated, will quickly follow that of Stutterheim. " The King of Naples had not left Rome at the departure of the last courier from that city. His Majesty had had a long interview with his Holiness.--.(MoNtrE u R Of the 12th.) 44 . PETERSBURGH, Amur. 17.

" ALEXANDER.' FRENCH FUNDS. May 11, Five per Cents Bank Stock f. 60 c. 1562 f. 50 c. , . German Papers to the 3d instant arrived this morning, and contain the following articles :--- " AUGSBERG, MAY 4.—Accounts from Naples of the 20th April inform us, that the Neapolitan squadron, consisting of the Capri ship of the line, the Syren frigate, and the brigantine Calabrese, which had bee❑ on a cruize in the Adriatic, had returned into port. The disarming of the coun try proceeded rapidly after the establishment of the military tribunals. The four Juntas had commenced their inquiries into the late conduct of individuals. Some persons had been con demned.in their absence, but none of them had fallen into the hands of justice. One Paolo Ruggeiro was sentenced to death by a court martial on the 18th April, for concealment of arms, and executed. Four persons, who were taken as they were going to escape on board a Spanish ship, were to be tried on the 23d April. It was thought that only one of them, who had his certificate as a Carbonaro about him, would be shot."—( Jillgenteinc Zeitung, May 5.) " LEMI3ERG, Aram 18.—The Boyars had re ceived orders to remain in the country, and not to leave it on any pretext whatever ; in fact, many of those who have emigrated have returned. It is, however, evident, from all their proceed ings, that they obey this order solely from com pulsion, and that, far from taking any share in the troubles, they only wait for a favourable op portunity to withdraw again. How little even the Chiefs of the Revolution believe in the suc cess of their enterprise appears from the fact that they too seek •to put their valuable effects in a place of security, and even those of the Prince are brought to the frontiers. " From Galacz we learn, that the Turks in the fortresses are continually receiving reinforce ments, but that they had received orders to be passive for the present, and not to pass the fron tier till further orders. According to all appear ance, they mean to advance with a very superior force, and to put au end to these troubles at once. 4C BELGRADE, APRIL 12.—Accounts from Constantinople say, the Turkish Agent had spread a report of a great victory obtained by the Sultan's troops over Ali Paella; but it was afterwards known that Ali had surprised the camp of Paella Bey, echo narrowly escaped be ing made prisoner. Ali is said to have advanced to Previsa, and that 6000 Albanians had returned to the standard of their former master."— Frankfort Papers, illaN 8.) There seems to be an intention on the part of the opposition writers to bring THE QUEEN for ward again, in order to perplex Government, and to excite renewed disturbances in the country. The late retired conduct of THE QUEEN might induce us to hope that she hatl rescued herself from those evil counsellors who supported her cause for the purpose of raising themselves into notoriety. The report, however, that she has written to Lord LIVERPOOL, desiring to know how she is to be disposed of at the Coronation, and what ladies are appointed to attend her on that occasion, if well founded, would seem to she w that she is still in the hands of her pretended friends, but in reality her enemies and the enemies of the country. It is not yet known, though confi dently rumoured, whether the QUEEN has sent mach a letter to L or d L IVERPOOL , b u t if she has, I it must occasion embarrassment to the Noble Lord, for as the trial terminated without a sentence of guilty, her MAJESTY'S claims may be conceived to exist as if no trial had taken place. Indeed it may well be doubted whether the QUEEN has written the letter in question, for such is the officiousness or treachery of those whose advice has been injurious to her through the whole proceedings, that we think it would have found its way to the public. There is, however, another report in confident circulation, stating that her MAJESTY has avowed her positive determination to be present at the Coronation, 46 unless she should be forced out of the country ) or confined in her person." Advices were received yesterday from Wo de Janeiro, dated March 10, which is five (lays later than the packet. It appears that the KING, after a long deliberation, has abandoned his in tention of returning to Portugal. On the 9th the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had a long interview with the KING; in the course of which he submitted to him various arguments to show the impolicy of quitting Brazil ; and the same evening, at a Council of Ministers, the Royal intention of remaining was announced. Mercantile letters from New York, dated in April, afford the pleasing intelligence, that com mercial affairs in that quarter of the globe had assumed a more favourable appearance, and that the demand for British manufactures was daily increasing. Yesterday. Count MUNSTER. had an audience of his MAJESTY. Yesterday the Princess AUGUSTA dined with the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. The Duchess of Gloucester, Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia, and the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Infant Princess Vittoria, visited the Duchess of Clarence.—Prince LEO rorm's grand Party took place last night, at Marlborough House, previous to which the Duchess of Kent dined with his Royal Highness. Mr. CANNING was present during the sitting of the French Chamber of Deputies on Thurs day. The Right Hon. Gentleman had a seat in the Tribune reserved for the Corps Diploma dune.

LANE: TITEAtIE. , „ Last night her MAJESTY paid this Theatre a visit, for which, as being quite unexpected, both Mr. ELLISTON and the audience were, , of couree, unprepared. She came attended by hard ,and Lady HOOD, and ,a youth, Who was understood to be Master AUSTIN, Her MAJESTY, on en tering the house, took her seat in the box imme diately opposite to the KING'S, and'some Mo ments elapsed before she was recognized. Her MAJESTY looked in excellent health, and her dress was peculiarly elegant. She wore a I robe of figured satin, confined by a pink sash; and her head dress was a white satin hat, turned up )vith pink,and decorated with three large ostrich feathers. As soon as the audience understood she was present, a simultaneous burst of ap plause was heard from all parts of the house, and her MAJESTY came forward and acknowledged, in the-Most condescending manner, the fervent reception she experienced. Cries of " God save the Queen" were now reiterated with a vehement vociferation which it would -be impossible to describe; but it appeared that the singers were not in attendance, and the consequence was, that the two first acts of Marino Faller°, the play announced for the night, passed off in dumb show, amidst groans, howlings, hisses, and all the other impediments that indignant resentment could offer. At length Mr. ELLISTON came for ward, and, bowing to the audience, addressed them in the following terms : " Ladies and Gentlemen—l am the Proprietor of this Thea tre ; it is therefore s uff ic i en t th a t I as k an d k no it y our cOrn- mands ; in order to obey them. 'What would you desire ? (Loud cries of ' The Queen ! the Queen !) What am Ito understand by "The Queen . ?' (We want Gon save the Queen.') I speak with due respect to all who are present, and I hope for your indulgence under the arduous circumstances in which lam placed. All the singers are not present.—(A voice, ` Then let us have the tune from those who are present.') I promise yow that, before the Afterpiece commences, the na tional air shall be sung." These last words were followed by repeated shouts of " Bravo !" and the remainder of the play was suffered to proceed ivithout further in terruption. Giovanni in London was the enter- tainment, and immediately on the rising of the curtain the Doge of Venice (Mr. COOPER), on whose neck the axe of the executioner was sup- • posed to have fallen the moment before, was seen with his wife Angiolina (Mrs. WEST), joining imps and furies in singing " God save the King," or " God save the Queen," as the audience would have it. The performers, however, appeared both out of tune and out of temper; for never did any group of singers acquit themselves with less satisfaction to those who heard them. Her Majesty stood up during the time this unimpres sive tribute was paid to her, and bowed repeat edly to the audience. Having waited to see a scene or two of the afterpiece, she left the The- atre about ten o'clock, observing as she went out the same privacy with which she entered. The house was but partially filled, and the play did not appear to gain many admirers by repetition. In the afterpiece Miss CUBITT sustained the part of Don Giovanni, and though an indifferent sub stitute for Madame VEsTais, was probably the best that could be selected.—( Morning _Herald.)

On 'Monday last, at the Annual Election of Officers of the Exchange Rooms at Sunderland, the Right Ho nourable Loup STEWART was re-elected President, the num hers being for his Lordship 102—for Mr. LAMUTON 43; and Joitx DAVISON, Esq. was re-elected Vice-President. Our Readers will, perhaps, recollect that a warm contest took place last year on the same occasion, and that Lord Stewart was elected by a majority of eight only. The Lambton Gazette, of the 6th of May, 1020, alluding to the former election, says :—" The meeting was opened - without observa tion at eleven o'clock, and in ten minutes those who were present had tendered their suffrages ; some remarks on the pro bable tendency of the glaring p arty spirit, whi c h th e n began to manifest itselt, were m a d e by Addison Fenwick, Esq. theinfer ence from which Sir. Cuthbert Sharp attempted to deny ; other observations were also made by Bernard Ogden, Esq. and T. Hopper, Esq. During the time occupied by this discussion, and before the hats which contained the votes were removed for the purpose of being counted, several Gentlemen came into the room with an intention of voting for the late President, but whose votes, from some unaccountable perversity on the part of the Chairman, were refused. The numbers were then declared, when there appeared 82 votes for Lord Vane Stewart, and 74 for John George Lambton, Esq. leaving a majority of eight only in favour of the former ; a circumstance which indicates the proba bility that a different result would have been the consequence had the election bean made after the discussion it gave rise to, and not before it, as has been stated."—How unfortunate it is that this unhappy prediction should stand on record. An elec tion has taken place after the argumentative and convincing dis cussion alluded to, and Mr. Lambton, who last year mustered 74 votes, could bring no more than 43 to the.poll on the present occasion ; while his noble rival was elected by a majority of 59, or NEARLY EIGHT TIMES the amount of his former ma jority ! This is a striking proof of the change in the public mind. We have been told that Nlr. Lambton's friends were absent taking " ilEFitEsitmEsTT" during the time of the divi sion. —(From the Dun HAM COUNTY ADVERTISER, May 12.)

Deputy Coroner for Westminster and the Duchy of Lancaster,in the Statnping-room in his Majesty's Stamp Office, Somerset House,,on the body of Leonard Huntingdon, Esq. Second Clerk in the Lottery Office, and Deputy Receiver' General. The Jury consisted of respectable in. habitants of the Duchy of Lancaster, who being sworn, took a view of the deceased: The body lay by the side of his desk in the Lottery Office, and a quantity of blood had issued from two deep wounds in his throat ; an office knife lay by his side ; on the opposite side of the office was a stool, on which it appeared the deceased sat when he inflicted the wounds ; a quantity of blood lay in a heap by the side of the stool, and from thence to the place where he fell was a track of gore.- Mr. Langley, Surgeon, Newcastle-street, Strand, deposed that he had,examined the deceased, and found three wounds in his throat : one had di vided the carotid arteries, and was of a descrip:. tion to produce death. The wound on the right side was the deepest; it might have been cut with the right hand, but seemed to have been in flicted by a man left-liana.] (a spectator said that the deceased was not left-handed), as the incision commenced on the right side of the. throat, and concluded under the chino . 1 have no doubt but the deceased did the act himself. The knife produced is the instrthilent mast likely used by the dectittsed to ctillict the wounds.
