i - whole, he thought that some material change ought, to be made in the present system, which could not go on as it now was. Mr. Racism:a never had any other idea than that the interests of landlords should be protected as much as those of any other classes of men. An erroneous opinion had gone abroad respecting himself ; it was, that he, as a merchant, enter= tained views hostile to the interests of landed proprietors. Ile was not a merchant, nor was his property all vested in the •fmnds ; for he had as much landed as fundedproperty ; but he gave those opinions on all such subjects, which he thought sr Quid be most beneficial to the country. Ile was an rdvocate for a free trade in corn, and he thought that the 'price of our corn ought to be brought to a !eau! with the prices of other countries.; so that landed - gentlemen might meet ,foreigners in' tbe market. • If a duty was to be laid on foreign corn, it ought to be a moderate one, and not floatuatiog duty. He thought if th e p or ts were . (Toned for the • importation of corn, the people of the country would be better able to support the. Irurden of taxation ; for if_the corn fell in price,: i importations increased, and agriculture were. less attended to iu this 'country, then a great portion of the capital ow employed in agricul ure would be thrown into.other sources, which would produce rydessree•of wealth much greater than what could arise from the same capital em- a ployed in cultivating land ; the country would; Allen be -richer, and better able to bear the public . burdens. It was -very true, that we could net:, grow corn so cheap as foreign countries ; and that was the very reason why he would import it. It ,• had been asked by his Hon. and Learned Friend. (Mr. brougham) what would become of thes capital now employed in land, if the cultiva— tion of land was neglected in• consequence of im portation ? He would answer, that if such capital, was nut productive, ,it should be considered as a' nuisance, and the sooner it was got rid of the better; w bile if, as much capital as could be taken-away,: . arid an equal' degree of industry were applied to` other objects, the country would be greatly bene dited. As too what had been said by the Hon. Member for. Kent about threshing machines, he was really surprised to hear any Gentleman "at' . this time of day find fault with , any thing that ! •lessened human labour. (It hed , beeu said that:: -the opening of our, ports would destroy the 'rent; and capital of poor .lands., That was very true ;i but if the capital was uselessly employed, it - should, as he already observed, be turned into other channels, that would render it .pro-, ductive and beneficial. He did not take thosei gloomy views of the resources of the country,' which some men 'indulged 'in—he had better -hopes of the country, and really thought that all . its difficulties were nearly at an end. The de pressed 'state of agriculture, of commerce and manufactures, Was too unnatural for permanence. It resulted from (our exertions during the war, and from The peculiar trial we had undergone. 'Nothing would - more .accelerate the revival of the country, than relieving the people of -their burdens. He entertained fears of this Committee ; he thought that the sup porters of it were too much disposed to con sider that their only hope •of having their con dition ameliorated lay inahe advance of the im portation price of corn. He would prefer a fixed, and permanent duty on corn, rather than to'have it fluctuate according to the fluctuation of the market; but he should fix that price very low indeed, persuaded that this arrangement would most effectually provide for the prosperity of all lasses. Mr. WHITMORE explained. Mr. DAVENPORT was not against the appoint ment of a Committee to investigate the subject. Mr. CALCRIET would assent to the motion., in consequence of the universal representation of agricultural distress, but should at the same time use all means of opposing the advance of the im portation duty. General GASCOYNE was desirous of affording relief to the' agriculturists . ; but when a motion . was before the House, affecting to have that en d in view ; and wh en h e heard avowed-„that -the only practical measure to be proposed was the raising of the protecting duties, he should op pose it. Mr. T. WILSON supported the motion on the ground that enabling the land occupiers to pay their rents, and thereby enabling the landlords to contribute to the re - venue, he would be best consulting the general interests of the country. ne motion ss , then agreed to, and ;be Committer was appuinted.—Th, following wet e the Members Mr. Gooch .

Mr.. MARTIN suggested the propriety of includ in, sheep-stealing in.the provisions of this Bill. Rict wotild promote this proposition, if brought forward hereafter, but he did not now wish to embarrass his Bill with any doubtful paint. Leave was then given to bring in a Bill. OPTH A LNI IC INSTITUTION. Mr. BEN ET said, he had a notion on the Paper respecting the Opthalmic Institution; but as he understood the Secretary at War intended to-bring; forward this subject, he should not press his motion. The other orders were then disposed of, and at ONE o'CLocx the House adjourned. The Hon. Col. KING, brother of Edward Earl of Kingston, and uncle to the present Earl, died last week at Rockingham, in Ireland, the seat of Lotd. Lorton. Colonel King was Governor of the County of Sligo. His charitable donations in the town of Ballina alone, are said to have amounted regularly to at least 2,0001. a year. THE LONDON JOURNALS. LDAILY EXTRACCFS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS , [Morning Post.] LETTER FROM THE QUEEN.-Wisdom, it is said, never comes too late ; it may come so late, however, as to prove inefficient to repair the evils which its delays or absence may have occasioned. The following is, we fear, one of those cases. The Queen has sent a letter to the Earl of Liverpool, in which, we understand, she expresses high satisfaction at the annuity of 50,0001. per annum having been granted to her without any party spirit. She ps also glad that the King's Speech noticed her in such agree.: able terms ; and hopes that her name will yet be restored to the Liturgy, as she finds that the oniission would be very prejudicial to her abroad. [British Press.] W e understand that Mr. Canning has been .requested by the friends of the Catholic Cause to return to England, for the purpose of giving his support to Mr. Plunkett's Bill in the House of Commons, and that the arrival of the Right Jlonourable•Gentleman may be shortly expected. It is also said that Mr. Peel will come into office as soon as this question shall have been disposed of. [Mornin g Herald.] Mr..Goocu moved last night in the Rouse of Commons the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into, and report on, the agriculturA distress of the country. The motion, after much debate, was agreed to. There was nothing, however, in the tone of the discussion to give the least alarm to the working classes with respect to the scale of duties which regulates the importa tion of foreign grain.

We received this morning Paris Papers of Monday last . . A private Letter from Naples states, that -at the close of a long Sitting of the National Parliament, on the 15th ult., after hearing the Report of the Committee appointed the day before to examine the ultimatum of the Allied Sovereigns, the PRINCE REGENT Mt the Hall, followed by all the Members of Parlia ment, and read to the People assembled outside the House the substance of a Declaration of War against Austria and the other coalesced Powers. The troops received orders to march. General C.taascos.t was appointed Commander-in-Chief, and General BEGANI set out for the fortress of Gaeta. Another Letter from Naples says, that the PRINCE Vic.uz. REGENT has given the Junta of Sicily the option of choosing either the Nea politan Constitution, or any other which may be deemed better adapted to the Country. The same dispatches announce to the Sicilians the recal of the Neapolitan troops which were sta tioned iu Sicily ; and at the departure of this letter the Neapolitan squadron had sailed for that Island, in order to receive on board those troops. It appears, by subsequent accounts, that the PRINCE REGENT takes the Command in Chief of the Neapolitan army ; General CARASCOSA, at the head of three divisions, occupies San Ger mano ; General FLORESTAN PEPE is at the head of the Prince's Staff; General GuLrEcmo PEPE commands the division which occupies the Ab bruzzi, and all the militia of that Province ; Ge neral BEGANI, besides being Governor of Gaeta, commands the forces situated between Stri and Fondi; Genera/ ARCOVITO is at Terracina with another division; and General FILANGIERI commands the reserve. Previously to their de parture for the Army all the Generals met at a banquet at Naples, where the most cordial union prevailed.. The Neapolitan army and militia are said to be on the frontiers of the Papal States, and every thing leads to the presumption that hostilities will soon commence. Intelligence had reached Vienna of the recent measures taken by the Neapolitans, and of the march of the greater portion of their army to the frontiers. The knowledge of these events had caused a consi. derable sensation in the Austrian Capital. It is not known when the King of Naples will leave Laybach, but it is supposed his departure will be governed by the result of events in Lower Italy - ; the general opinion, however, is, that his MAJESTY will proceed to Sicily-. On the 17th ult. the Austrian advanced guard had not entered the Roman territory. It seems that •extraordinary couriers are conti nually passing through Bayonne to and from Spain. On the 26th ult. an Austrian Officer of high rank from Laybach, proceeding to Madrid with dispatches, only stopped there to change horses. The report of the Allied Sovereigns having demanded the presence of a Spanish Mi nister at the "Congress, is contradicted in the Madrid Journals. Private letters from the Spanish capital give us reason to believe that the present session of the Cortes will be very stormy. Several petitions have already been presented against the Ministers, and one of the. Deputies has moreover proposed their impeachment. Lists are circulating with the names of the persons who are to succeed them, and the liberal party mean to appoint CAMBRONERO Minister of Justice, GALIANO, Minister of the Interior, Rua°, Mi nister of War, PIZARRO, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and An.tniA, Minister for the Colonies. Troops are marching towards the Capital, and, the garrison is daily expected to be reinforced by two or three thousand men. Signor MORA, the Editor of the Constitutional, has at length been set at liberty, on giving security for his per sonal appearance whenever he may be called on to take his trial. It will be recollected that this distinguished Spanish advocate was arrested in December- last, when the Debating Societies at Madrid were suppressed. The last accounts from Constantinople state--- hat several inportant changes have been made in the Ottoman Ministry. It is generally supposed that the Pachalik of Egypt will be divided into two governments. Cairo is to remain under the authority of MEHEMED•ALI-PACIIA, and Alex andria will form a separate Government. The Ottoman Cabinet are aware of the opposition they are likely to meet from MEREMED•ALI- Pacnt in the execution of this measure, and have given out that they will be assisted in car rying it into effect by an European maritime Power. FIRE LT SURINAM.—The ship Sirevor, AF FLECK, from Surinam for Amsterdam, has ar rived off Dartmouth ; she sailed the Ist of Fe- Iruary. Captain ATFLtCK reports, that eight days prefious to his departure, a dreadful fire had broken out and consumed nearly the whole town, with an immense quantity of produce, which had in consequence become very scarce. The following extract of a letter from Captain Arn.t ex, of the ship Strevor, from Surinam for Holland, arrived off Dart mouth, and dated the sth March, gives further particulaTs of the fire at Paramaribo. The accounts received this morning do not mention how the accident originated :- 44 I am extremely sorry to inform you of the almost total de struction of the Town of Paramaribo by a fire, which happened on the 21st of January. Three hundred and ninety-two houses, and including stores and back buildings, amounting to a thousand, were reduced to ashes. The loss is estimated at 20 millions of guilders (Surinam currency)." Every man, we believe, who examines with accuracy the present distresses and difficulties of the Country, may easily convince himself, that it would be imposiible for any Administration, however just in its views—however pa triotic in its designs--however indefatigable in its endeavours— at once to remove the difficulties, or relieve the distresses. They depend upon such a complicated variety of causes ; they have resulted so unavoidably from the course of events ; that much must, after all, be left to time, and patience, and individual ex ertion. Do we mean then, to distrust the wisdom of Parlia ment, or to deny its influence ? Assuredly we have no such in tention : we are sensible, that it is chiefly to Parliament we must look for the real and ultimate amelioration of our circuin stances : and we trust, that by its prudence, and its firmness, affairs will at length be put into such a train, as to lead, gra dually but certainly, to the improvement of trade, to renewed activity in every department of labour, to the diminution of pecuniary privations, and, by a necessary consequence, to the secure establishment of permanent repose. But these things will not happen in a day ; nor can they happen at all, unless the various orders of the community will co-operate with honest earnestness in the' restoration of national prosperity. It is hardly too much to say, that the respective efforts of these dif. ferent classes might be of more immediate efficacy than any possible enactments of the Legislature. , We turn naturally, in the first place, to the Nobility and landed proprietors of the kingdom. They are supposed with justice to lie the guardians and ornaments, the " decus et tutamen" of the State : from them will the inferior ranks expect instruction and example : and it would be, indeed, lamentable, if they should ever be found wanting to the Country, or to themselves. For our own parts, we are far from suspecting them of any wilful dereliction of their duty : their rank and their property, their education and their habits, their connections and their early associations, are all securities for their lo've of the Constitution, and their support of the true interests of the Empire. They are too ex alted, we are sure, to be influenced by the vulgar views of am_ bition or interest ; too wise, to love confusion for its own sake ; and they have too much at stake in the Country to derive any possible advantage frOm a tumult. But is there nothing, of which we may reasonably complain ? May we not perceive some degree of thoughtless inattention, and some occasional forgetfulness, that they have particular, as well as general, duties to perform ? They harangue, and they legislate ; and when that is done, regardless of quiet and practical utility, they seem to imagine, that nothing more will be expected from them. They are contented to indulge themselves in the expen sive amusements of the metropolis; or in idle. dissipation, or intellectual trifling throughout the Cities of the Continent. But they ought to,be at their post : and their post is either in Par liament during the Session, or at their own estates in the coun try. Here is their proper and most beneficial sphere of action : and Heaven forbid, that the agricultural districts of England, like those of Ireland, should ever be deserted hy the natural proprietors of the soil ! We shall say little of the lowering of rents ; we know we are treading upon tender ground and pro bably the greatest reduction of rent, whatever good effects it might have, would not be sufficient at the present moment to remove the embarrassments of the agriculturists. But there are other means of benefit besides pecuniary relief. Let the Nobi lity, and other persons of large landed property in the kingdom live more among their tenants ; let them mingle more with their tenants in habits of daily intercourse ; and endeavour to con vince them that their privations have been necessary ; but that the Legislature is willing to take their wants into considera tion, and adopt any feasible method which may contri bute to their diminution. We would say, too, let them encourage or revive the ancient diversions and festivities of the country, nor suffer them to fall, one by one, into oblivion, until the old customs and recreations of the peo ple are irrecoverably lost. That man is only half a po- If tician who thinks that these things can be but of little service ; they have a great influence—they have an excellent influence-- they preserve, in the strongest manner, local feelings and local attachments, and they prevent the mind from brooding over the privations of the moment. The national manners, it must be almost superfluous to add, have a most intimate connection with the national character and the national strength. The pre sent, too, is a time when the kind attentions of the Land ed Proprietor are more peculiarly required ; and when any amusements which may serve to keep up old feelings, or to re store former cheerfulness, should be more peculiarly encouraged. We know that, where soldiers are brave, it is not in the day of battle that they most need the exhortations of the Commander ; it is chiefly in the fatigues of the march—in the general toils and hardships of the campaign, that his ardour can revive the drooping spirit, and even seem to invigorate the falling limbs ; that his courage can awaken alacrity and his confidence diffuse animation. In the same manner, it is not when any great ef fort is demanded, that the People of England will ever be found deficient in vigour or resolution ; but it is amid the exhaustion consequent upon these efforts, and while there are no farther re turns of glory or of triumph to repay their sacrifices, that they most particularly need the fostering care and exertions of their superiors. We are not altogether " laudatores temporis acti ;" we have not that querulous impatience of present evils ; we are not so much inclined to pay a compliment to our ancestors at our own expence, as to suppose that no political improve ments have been Ilmade in the existing generation ; that they were, on the whole, more comprehensive in their views, or more accurate in their principles ; but we fear that one radi cal defect is creeping, with secret rapidity, into the present sys tem. The science of politics is become too much a matter of cold and heartless calculation ; man is treated as a kind of moral machine, and an exclusive attention is paid to the wealth of Nations, as if wealth alone could secure the happiness of Na tions. It would require no long argument to prove the folly of the notion, and the danger of the practice. Surely, too, the People of England deserve at the hand of their superiors the greatest encouragement, the most benevolent attention. They have acted nobly and they have suffered patiently ; still sober and honest, industrious and unperverted, they must not be confounded with the populace of the Capital ; they are the strength and stamina of the Kingdom ; on them the fate of England must finally depend, and in them will the freedom of England find its firmest bulwark. The care of their natural protectors is alone wanting to repress any disposition to mur mur which is ever likely to arise. It has been said of old, that a good man struggling with adversity is a sight worthy of the Gods ; what, then, ought we to say of a great Nation, which can bear up against accumulated evils not only with courage but with cheerfulness--not only with a resolution to resist its diffi culties, but with a determination to despise them ? Let but the Nobility and Landed Proprietors exert themselves, and this glorious and exhilarating spectacle will be seen in every County and every Village of Great Britain. HAMBURG)", FEB. 27.—We have received by express, news from St. Petersburg!), of the 13th instant, containing the fol lowing extract from the new Tariff:— " IMPORT DUTY.-Rum, and all kinds of brandy, 20, 30, and 40 R. according to the strength, from 10 deg. and under to 15 deg. and above; silk goods, 4 R.S. per lb. ; wines, in hogsheads, 30 R.S. per hogshead ; ditto, in bottles, 40 copecs per bottle ; refined sugars, 4A R.S. per pood ; raw sugars, 1 R.S. per pood.'"—(llamburghßorse.n Hall List, Feb. 27.) By a Dutch Mail which has arrived, we learn that the intelligence from Italy has caused a feeling of deep interest in Spain, and that se veral Spanish officers have embarked at Barce lona to offer their services to the Neapolitan Go vernment. A ship freighted with arms and mu nitions of war has also sailed from Barcelona for the same destination. Charleston Papers to the 23d of January have been received. They contain nothing of prominent importance.• In the Charleston Gazette of the 1 sth is an Extract of a Letter " from a Senator of the United States"announcing that official intelligence had been received by the Department of State at Washington, of the ratification of the Spanish Treaty, ceding the Floridas. The much-disputed grants, it was added, were cancelled.—We find the following fact, so interesting to every mind which considers th e diff us i on of Christianity as tantamount to the diffusion of human virtue and happiness, in one of these papers :—" The South Sea islanders are so eager for the sheets of the Gospel of St. Luke, that no activity can satisfy them. They have six hundred and eighty persons who can read; and they frequently sit in circles till midnight, teaching each other." _ Yesterday morning Mr. MAstt, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, left town for Windsor, to make arrangements at St. George's Chapel, for the opening of the Royal Mausoleum for the re. ception of the remains of the late Princess Etitga- BETH, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, the interment of which is expected to take place on Saturday, in the most private manner possible, SHIP NEWS.

RlcHArrn Twiss, Est.—This Gentleman, who has long been known in the literary and musical circles, died on Monday last, at an advanced age, in Somers' Town. His first wol k was— " Travels through Portugal and Spain," written at an early period of life, and which excited much notice at the time of its publication. His next work was " A Tour through Ireland," in which he commented so freely on the manners of the natives that he excited their resentinen,t, which they displayed in a manner equally whim sical, humorous, and original. He successively published anecdotes of CHESS, a " Trip to Pa ris," during the Revolution, arid several other works. With respect to his Tour in Ire Mind, from a long knowledge of his character we may venture to say, that he never intentionally -de parted from truth, but was probably too tn-edia lons as to the information which he received; and too hasty in recording it. With many harmless and entertaining peculiarities in his character, he was kind, friendly, arid hospitable ; and even those natives of Ireland who most resented what they deemed illiberal and unjust reflections on their country, when he became personally known to them, were convinced that his mistak9s arose from negligence, and not from malice. His knowledge, though not profound, was various and extensive. He Was particularly conversant with music, and was a skilful performer on the violin. His numerous friends and acquaintances, who were diverted by his oddities, were instruct ed by his miscellaneous information, and will re gret the loss of a man whose real disposition was humane and generous, and who, in his prosperous days, was always ready to encourage talents and to relieve distress. The following paragraph appeared in an Even ing Paper of yesterday. Is it meant as a prepa ratory hint ?—" We understand that her Majesty has been lately much indisposed, and that Sir MATTHEW BAILLIE who was called in, has advis ed travelling for her recovery."
