PUBLIC MONUMENTS. - Upon the Resolution for a Grant of 2,700/. to defray the expellees of the repairs in King Henry the Seventh's Chapel, Mr. G. BENNET took occasion to. animadvert upon the lamentable condition in which the Public Monuments were allowed to be in this Chapel, as well as throughout Westminster Abbey. He did not know in whose care those monuments were placed, but if in that of the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral, lie did •not know in what terms appropriately to express the cen- sure which they incurred by permitting our great public monuments to be in • such a disgraceful and dilapidated state. But what a remarkable contrast did the general state of this Cathedral present to that of many cathedrals throughout the country, to that of Gloucester and Worcester for instance ; yet in neither of those cathedrals was any of- that low, mean, disgraceful, lucre-loving spirit to be found by which money was exacted for the exhibition of public monuments.--(Hear!) But how scandalous in those who made consider able profit by such exhibitions in Westminster Abbey, that they took no care whatever to pro tect those monuments from injury or even from filth.—(llear, hear!)- 2 The practice itself, in deed, of extorting money from every one who sought a view of the great productions of our artists in St. Paul's Cathedral as well as in West minster Abbey-, was such as was not to be found in any other country. With all our national pride, .power, and liberality, what were foreioers to think of such a sordid practice ? For the sake of the character of his country, he was indeed ashamed of such a habit.—(Universal cheeriog.) Sir C. LONG fully concurred., with what md fallen from the Honourable Gentleman who lad just sat down ; for it had long been his own ft el ing that the public monuments referred to were very shamefully neglected.—(Hear, hear, hear !) —He had been -generally connected with the Commission appointed to superintend the erection of Public Monuments, and it was always their study to employ the first British Artists for the execution of such designs, and of course he and his Colleagues must be much mortified to find that adequate care was not afterwards taken of those monuments. He could say, that Government was not at all responsible for the care of these monu ments. No; that responsibility belonged to the Dean and Chapter; and as they derived great profit from the exhibition of these monuments, it was not surely too much to say, that it. was in cumbent upon them to protect the valuable ob.; jects committed to theirreare from being defaced or injured. The observations of the Hon. Mem ber for Shrewsbury, which were evidently the general feeling of the House, would, he hoped, make a due impression, and urge those whose duty it was to take better care hereafter of our public monuments.—(Hear, hear ! from all sides of the House.) , Mr. W. Smurn doubted whether the Dean and Chapter ! of Westminster Abbey sh ou ld not b e required to pay the proposed sum for the repair of Henry the Seventh's,- Chapel out of their own funds, which were at present about to be consi derably increased by the - sale of seats in the Air bey, for the gratification. of public curiosity. lie entirely agreed with the remarks of his Hon. Friend, as to the state of Westminster Abbey.— But the state of St. Paul's might be said to be even worse. lie had lately seen that. Cathedral, and he declared, that it looked more like kre ceptacle for dirt and cobwebs, than for the noble monuments of our statesmen and warriors, yet the revenue of the Dean and Chapter was very considerable, especially from the exhibition of the public monuments. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the expence of Henry the Seventh's Chapel was never defrayed by the Dean and Chapter.of Westminster Abbey, but by the public, as this Chapel was the cemetery of our Kings. He knew nothing of the conduct of St. Paul's Cathe dral, but the Dean and Chapter of Westminster had within a few years - expended no less than 10,0001. in the repairs of the Abbey.—The Re solution was agreed to. Upon the motion for a grant for the Establish ment of Sierra Leone, - •Mr. Wit:LIAM SMITH took occasion to say, that the individual-appointed as'Chief Commissioner for Sierra Leone was a man who had received no regular education, and who was wholly incom petent to discharge the duties. Sir George Col lier, the Commanding Officer on that station, had declared that Mr. Gregory's imbecility had con tributed in a great measure to defeat the objects of the Commission. The M t arquis of LONDONDERRY said that he had transferred the appointment of the -commis sioners into the hands of the distinguished indi vidual at the hI of the Admiralty, and of Sir C. Robinson, We Advocate-General, who were best able to select persons of professional ability. With regard to Sierra Leone no individual could be found, who wasi4willing to accept of the ap pointment at 1,5041.'a year, and the salary was consequently increased to 3,0001. a year, with a retiring pension of SOU Such was the dread of the climate, that even then no ,professional Gen tleman could be found to accept the appointment, and Sir W. Scott accordingly recommended it to be given 'to some intelligent commercial indivi dual. The idea of a residence in Sierra Leone was so universally supposed to carry along with it the id e a o f d ea th, th a t lie had never had a more terrific picce of patronage at his disposal. —(A laugh D—lfe could not but deprecate the course which the Honourable Gentleman had taken, in deciding upon the merits of Mr. Gregory on the mere dictum of a Naval Officer. Mr. IV,. SMITH disclaimed having imputed any partiality to the Noble Lord in making the ap pointment. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that with all deference to the statements of Sir W. Scott and Sir C. Ro binson, it was scarcely credible that there could be any difficulty in finding a Gentleman of re.. • ' gular education in the profession of the law, to fill an appointment of 30001. a year, with a re tiring penslbn of 800/. a year. The profession of the law was by no means in so flourishing a state, that among the junior branches of it such an ap pointment would not be most readily accepted. tie had no doubt that when the statement made V the NONe Lord went forth to the public, it would excite considerable astonfAmene; and pro ' duce this good effect at least, that when the Noble Lord should look out hereafter among the profession, some tenders would be made to him, which would enable him to get a better Judge, or the same Judge, at a lower salary. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, he cer tainly had not advertised the appointmentS, but they had remained a long time at the disposal of Sir William Scott, and if there were so .abundant a crop of aspiring young lawyers, as thellon. and Learzted Gent. supposed, it was certain that they did not bite very fast.—(A laugh.)—He , perfectly remembered, that he (Lord L.) had been twice called over the coals in that House for making the appointments ; and, as far as two discussions could operate as advertisements, sufficient publi city had been given to them.—The Resolution was then,put and agreed to. On the vote of 100,0001. for the new street from Mary-le-bone to Charing-cross, Mr. HUME asked two questions with respect to a charge of 11,0001. for law expence, . architects and surveyors, and a sum of 12,001. for new salaries, when it had been un d ers t oo d t h at t h e whole servic e was t o b e discharged by the CommisSioners for Woods and Forests. Mr. II USKISSON said he had no objection to lay the par ticulars of the law expellees before the House, and with regard to the new salaries, they had been rendered'necessary by the great extent of the labours which had devolved upon the Com missioners. After a few words from Mr. W. SMITH, the Resolution was agreed to. On the vote for the Cape of Good Hope, Mr. G. BENNET asked whether any further encouragement had been given to the New Settlers in the Cape of Good Hope ? Mr. °MILBURN replied in the negative. Mr. IV. S ITH, observed; that it was of the utmost import ance that every means should be resorted to to prevent the ex tension of slavery in the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. GOULBURN said, he entirely concurred with the Ho nourable Gentleman", and that no precautions had been omitted to accomplish that desirable object. Sir It. WILSON thought it worth the consideration of Go vernment, whether it would not he worth while to purchase the few remaining slaves in the ettlony. The Resolution was then agreed to. On the vote for b u ildi ng Churches and Glebe Houses, Mr. HUME expressed a hope that no more money would be required front Parliament for that purpose, until they had ac certained what was done with the first fruits and tenths. Mr. BENNET would not agree to the grant of a single shil ling until the whole Church Establishment of the country was brought under the consideration of the House. After a few words front Lord MILTON, the Resolution was agreed to. On the Vote for discharging the Expence of publishing Pro claniations, Mr. BENNET noticed the system of preference adopted by Government towards certain papers as injurious to the public interest, by operating as a bribe to the press of the country, and in other respects defeating the purposes for which it was granted. Those papers should be selected which were most likely to give publicity to the document. Mr; GRANT said he had reduced the grant from 9 to 7,0001. this year, with a view to some advantageous arrangement in the next. Lord MILTON said a few words in opposition to the grant, and Mr. GOULBURN a-few in favour of it. Mr. HUME adverted to some partiality which he noticed on a former day with respect to the publication of Government Ad vertisements in " The Times." He was told on that occasion by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that no order had been given to withhold from the Papeialluded to those advertise ments. Ile had since heard that Government last year came to a determination that no advertises nos should be sent to "-The Times." This was done with a view of punishing that Paper, and he was really astonished that any exception could be made in such a case. After some further observations from Mr. Dawson, Mr. Grattan, Mr. Denman, and Mr. Hobhouse, the Resolution was agreed to. — Several other items were agreed to, and the House was pro seeding with the +others, -when Sir ROBERT WILSON, on account of the lateness of the hour, and the probability of some of the items exciting discus sion • moved that the Repo r t b e t a k en i n t o f ur th er consi de rat i on this hay, which after some conversation was agreed to. The other Ord ers o f D a y were th en disposed of, and the House adjourned at ONE O'CLOCK. FOR TIIE SUN. A PROPOSAL TO RELIEVE THE DISTRESSES OF THE COUNTRY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) 1. Let a 'fax of one per cent. be laid on the Funds, with the exception of the property of foreigners not resident in Great Britain. This Tax will produce nearly eight millions, as the National Debt is 800 millions. 2. Let a Tax of one per cent. be laid on the rent of houses and landed property. This may be estimated at four millions, which added to d millions (the tax on the funds) will be 12 lions : 3. Let 10 millions of taxes be taken off; viz. : The Tax on Agricultural Horses, now abolished £500,000 The Tax on Salt* whose produce is - 1,500,000 The Tax on Tea (to prevent smuggling) - 1,500,000 The Shop Tax - 1,000,000 The Tax on Coalst - - - 1,500,000 Three fourths of the Tax on Foreign Wines - 250,000 X 6,750,000 And any other Taxes, which can relieve the country, so as to make up the sum of 10 millions. Four months may be allowed before the taxes are taken off (if requisite) to allow time to those who have a stock on hand to dispose of it. ,If the Duties on Foreign Wines are equalised, - beneficial effects will ensue from it ; for the prices of wines will fall in the Wine Countries : so that port, Sherry and Lisbon, would not be £lO a pipe. The Foreign Wine-merchants raised the prices of their wines in consequence of the high duties ; for they as_ serted that as the English could pay such an heavy tax for wines, they could afford to pay more for their wines. The tax on wines at present produces a million sterling. Those who drink wine may be said to spit sixpences, owing to the heavy duties ; and it holds out encouragement to adulterate foreign wines, and thereby greatly injures the Revenue. As in the arithmetic of taxation 2 and 2 do not always make . 4, but sometimes less than one, as Dean SWIFT has most justly observ ed, therefore reducing the tax . on wines will not injure the Revenue, as many who have left off drinking wine will again use it, and the Revenue arising from wines will still be one million, though in the account of taxes taken off the sum of £758,000 is allowed for the deficiency, and which deficiency will not perhaps exist, though the duties on wines should not be equalised. So trifling a tax as 1 per cent. on property will not be felt by any person, especially as ten millions of taxes are taken off, which will benefit every individual in the kingdom, and more than indemnify those who pay this property tax. • A Tax on Exportation to be laid on 20 times its cost, ex cept to the King's garrisons. 1- A Tax to be levied on Coals exported, with exceptions. To make or adulterate Foreiga Wines, Tea, Porter, Ale, Beer, Coffee, &c. &e.- is now punished by a fine, and which does not prevent its recurrence ; but if made felony without be heat of cicr g y, will effectually check it, POREIGN INTELLIGENCg. PARIS I JUNE 26.—Yesterday his Majesty transacted business with the Duke de Richelieu. The Court is ordered to wear mourning for twelve days on account of the death of the Dowager Duchess of Orleans... 0 1 . VIENNA, JUNE 15.—The last accounts from 'Wallachia, for the authenticity of which we, how ever, do not vouch, state that Theodore Sludzier had fallen into the hands of the Turks, and was beheaded. The Greeks who left Jassy, and were refused admission into the Russian territory, retired into the Convent of Galatz, resolving, to defend it to the last extremity. JUNE 16.—8 y official accounts from Bucharest of the 3d of June, the head-quarters of the Turk- ish army, which has entered Wallachia, under the command of lladschi Ahmet Pacha, were in Calentina without the city, where -. there was a camp of 22,000 . men, the half of which consists . of cavalry. This corps was to proceed against the rebels in a few days. It seems that it Was intended „to wait for Jussuf Paella, of Tbrailow, who is engaged in clearing Moldavia of the In-, surgents, and 'is stated to have immediately cupied Jassy, in order to act with their united' forces against Ypsilanti, 'who is still in his posi tion at Tergowist, and seems disposed to occupy . himself with his corps of Insurgents, which is stated to consist of 10,000 men. Bucharest itself was occupied by 500 Turkish troops under.the command of Basehbeschil Aga. Tehir, an Albanian ; they were stationed in the two strong forts of the city, the Metropolitan Residence, and the Monastery of Radulawda . Perfect order prevailed in the whole city, an..l• the public peace had not been a moment ihter• rupted. All the inhabitants,. both natives an I foreigners, are, however, disarmed ; thD-first are obliged to deliver up their arms to a Coanitt?e appointed for that purpose ; the latter deliver them to their respective Consuls. On the other hand, the Turkish Commander has had several Turks hanged and beheaded who had been guilty , of excesses. All persons, even those individuals who.are ac cused of having been connected with the rebels, are treated with the greatest lenity, provided they have not been taken with arms in their hands. Such persons are left at liberty, .upog. bail, and pursue their occupations without moles tation. But the greatest rigour is sbewn to the armed lletarists. Thus, on the '2 dof June, ten of 'Ypsilanti's band were taken in a village and executed in their black uniforms, at the end of• the bridge that leads to the Turkish camp. TWO Greeks of Bucharest, who had taken part in the rebellion, experienced the seine fate. The Caimacans of the newly appointed Prince Callimachi had not arrived at EAueharest., Crajowa is already occupied by time troops of' the Pacha of,Widdin, which push their advanced posts along the River Alata, to the neighbour hood of Rimnick. According to the testimony of an eye witness, Theodore Wladimiresko, soon after his ar rival at Pitercht, was surprised by Captain Jordali, arrested, and conducted in chains, with a strong escort, to Ypsilanti, at Tergowist. JUNE 18.--The executions of the Christians at continue. There is no chance of escape, for all the vessels are visited before they leave the port, and every Christian subject of the Porte found on board is put to death. The Greeks in that capital are dreading above all things to receive news of the successes' of their countrymen, as a general massacre of them would most probably be the consequence. As the vessels with corn for Constantinople, from Egypt and the Mediterranean, have been in tercepted by the Greek fleet, it is feared a scar city will be the consequence, and may lead to the greatest excesses on the part 'of the populace. The insurrection in Bulgaria seems to have made little progress, for the last express from Constantinople travelled through that province without molestation. On 'the other hand, we learn from Semlin, under date of the Gth of June, that the Pacha of %%ridden had sent a reinforce- - ment of 600 men to Belgrade, and that the Ser vians refused them a passage,: and replised the Turks by force, with the loSs of more than a hundred m e n. W e h ave no authentic accounts of this event.
