keeryn tali /Ir, Pennant, for the opening slate quarries on "*.nlechyd-rountion." Mr. lIIJTCHINSON said, the contrast of a discussion re shaecting Kings and Emperors and one relating to a barren mountain, was rather odd—yet the worthy Alderman had called the House to inireitigate a subject which hadbeen discussed be :tele frequently ; and also to prove that slates were to be in laded among minerals ; and whether those mines were pro yeely worked. He had frequently sent down surveyors, but the worthy Alderman had not been contented with their report; hawever, if the worthy Alderman would pay the ,expence of ;r• ether surveyor, he had no objection to send a surveyor to the Tlace agent. • Mr. PI:NNANT said, that the Hon. Alderman knew no te.e; of a quarry, or of its working, since he required that a qearry of two years work should produce as much as one work ed for more than 100 years. iILIME supported the motion. He contended that this vianing of the quarry at Llanlechyd would cause a rivalry egainst the Hon. 3/ember's quarry now at work. Unless that quarry was worked, how could its value be known ? Mr. PENNANT explained. After tome observations from Mr. CREEVEY, who 'support ' td :he motion, ;air. Alderman WOOD replied. If the Right Hon. Gentle. .hearen would agree to send a fair surveyor, he would have no ob. aection to pay his expences. . • The House divided— . ; For the Motion - ' - - - Against it . - - - Majority - - ILCIIESTER CIAOte Mr. DTCNENSON,enoved 'to diathafge an order , made on the motion of Aldetmaii-Airood, for laying before the• House a evport of the % eating Magistrates respecting the conductof the • Keeper ef llchester Gaol. The Hon. Member stated, that the ••Report moved for Was ex-parte, and, as a Corimiission had been sppointsd to inquire into the state dfihe Gaol, it: would he more eiitapaytial to wait for the Report of the said Commission. Alderman WOOD adverted to attacks which he said .were - raide against him at the time he Mewed for the-report. It was 'zeta. among other things ; that he was not in the prison. That statement was however incorrect; he was there, with other Itiernbers of the Corporation of Louden. The Magistrates had ainee inquired into theconduct of the gaoler, who had requested three weeks to make his defence ; they gave inni one week, and Le made - no defence. He wished to have the evidence taken on -the spot, and the report made to the Sessions. Having moved ;that the evidence should be returned to the House, he expressed a hope that the order made in consequence of that motion might. 'het be reecinded. • ' Mr. CREEVEY opposed the motionof the lion. Member. • e. - Mr. HOBHOIJSE also opposed it. ,- The Honourable Alder tran, in his opinion, had not received the courtesy usual in that /rouse. • 3lr. ELLICE' said, he was desirous that truth should be, fairlybrought before the House, and therefore he would sup port the motion of his Hon. Friend. Mr.B.BATHURST observed, that the motion of the lion. Alderman had surprised the wisdom of the House. It appeared tarurii that the House. was called on to proceed upon a partial inquiry, made by the Magistrates. The Commissioners who . - 'Were sent to make inquiry would give an impartial RePort, and the House would do well to wait for that Report. Ile sup pcated the Motion. Mr.. GORDON was for the Motion. . Mr:DICKENSON admitted-he stated on a former day that the Worthy Alderman did not go into the JaiL He was wrong in that statement; but he knew the Worthy Alderman had made his Report of the state of the Jail from Neale's Book, which was published two years before.' Mr. BENNET'r wished for the Report of the Magistrates -rather than the Report of the Commission of Parliament, and • tie really felt that the House would not do its duty if it neglected 41 call for the whole inquiry'from first to last. • After some further observations from Mr. Wane, Mr. Hume, Mr. Bathurst, Mr. Willi a m Smith, Mr. Dickenson, Mr. Breragbam, and Mr. Maberley, the House divided— For the Motion - - 63 . Against it . . 20 - 19 - 90 -71 Majority - The order was consequently discharged. FORGERY. - On our re-admission to the Gallery we found. Mr. R. MA RTlNproposing his Bill to mitigate the punish. .tent for the crime of forgery, and all crimes connected. there witia. He said it w a s not hi s intention altogether to take away the: . punishment of death in cases of forgery ; but to give a dis- Cretionary power" to the judge to sentence to transportation for Ife instead of death, in cases where the prosecutor, jury, and judge, should 'concur in the propriety of such a mitigation : and tie only wished the Bill to have an experimental operation until nal:. Session. He concluded by moving for leave to bring in his Bill ; but he afterwards withdrew it, at the suggestion of Mr. BANXES. CREEVEY wished to know on what day it was intended to - move the Ist reading of the Duke of Clarence's Grant Bill. ;Ihe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said early in tbo.ansuing Week, perhaps Tuesday or Thursday. • PREPARATIONS FOR nu: CORONATION. Sir RONALD FERGUSSON wished to ask whether in the preparations for the Coronation, it was intended to stop up the paviage to the two - Houses of Parliament. He had nearly fallen over the boards which narrowed the way, as he came down to the House. He was as anxious as any man that the Sovereign should stand as high as possible in the estiination of the people; but be did, not think so foolish a pageant as this was calculated to add to his dignity. It could not advance him in the good opi nion of his people in the present state of the times ; it could not add a feather to his cap, nor a gem to his crown. He saw no thing to be gained by so absurd and expensive a pageant.— (Hear, hear !) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he be lizv&.l that this was the first time the Coronation of a Sovereign had been spoken of in that Ilduse in the manner in which it had now been by tbe Hon. and Gallant General—(Hear !) Every man conversant with the history and antiquity of this country must know that the Coronation was not an rule pageant, but a ceremony essentially' connected with the exercise of the kzngly functions.—(Hear !)—That preparations for such an event were necessary must be obvious, and none were made which he did not believe to be indispensable.—(Hear.) Mr. HOBHOUSE wished to know how long tbe avenues of both Houses of Parliament were to remain blocked up by SOl - From time immemorial the Hall had been free from sich a spectacle, until within the last twelvemonths. Sir. RONALD FERGUSSONexplai . ned, - tha he had as lull a regard for the kingly dignity as the Right Hon. Gentle man ; but he still thought the preparations for this pageant ou.#4 not to be suffered to block up the avenue to both Houes of Parliament.—(Hear.)---The House then passed to the Qrders of the Day. Tie Foctra Post Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Wednesday. TOBACCO DUTIES. . _ On the motion for committing the Tobacco Duties Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he si.ould he ready to abandon the moulding clause, if any great iaconvenience were found to arise from it to the trade. Mr. CALVERT said, that unless the clause were altogether abandoned, he should move an adjournment. After a short conversation, the House divided on the question adjournrr.ent, when the numbers were— ' For it - - - - - - 11 Against it - - - - 30 • f - - Majority . against the adjournment - —l2 On our re-admission, we found Mr. HonnousE again mov ir.ohe question of adjournment, and the CHANCEILOR of the Excnt auun then consented to postpone the Committee until -otirrow.

The intelligence from Spain and Turkey is so various and contradictory, that it is hardly pos sible to form any reasonable conjectures as to the course of events, or on what is likely to be the final issue. As to Spain, little can be hoped of a tranquil restoration of au established Govern ment. A democratic ascendancy seems obvious in that Country, nor should we be at all sur prised at finding the Regal Authority at an end. With respect to the Greeks, the latest accounts are of a promising -nature, and all mankind will of course rejoice in the triumph of a gallant People over the most ferocious and oppressive Government on the face of the earth. We are too well acquainted with the danger of incurring a Breach of Privilege to make any comments on what Sir RONALD FERGUSON is stated LD have uttered last night in the House of Commons, in reference to the approaching co- RONATION, Viz. that it was " a most foolish, ab surd, and ridiculous Pageant." . Our Ancestors deemed this 4 ‘ Pageant" the most AWFUL CON STITUTIONAL CEREMONY that could take place, comprising, as it does, the SOLEMN COMPACT be tween the SOVEREIGN and THE PEOPLE, guarding the Prerogative of TIIE CROWN, and securing the Liberties of THE SUBJECT; and We are per suaded that Republican Principles have not spread to such an extent in this Country but that the loyal feelings of the Nation at large will revolt against the epithets applied to this august, inte resting, and awful solemnity, by the Honour able Member. But, if it can afford any gratifi cation to him, he had the honour of being .de fended .by Mr. HonnousE!!! We leave the people in general to make their own reflections, and to form their own opinions on sentiments that we •believe were never uttered in Parliament since the cavalier treatment which the House of Commons received from that great Reformer CROMWELL. [Extract of a Letter from Vienna, dated June 6, 1821.]—The infant son• of their Excellencies Lord and, Lady VANE STEWART was baptized at the Ambassador's Palace, on Monday evening, the 4th June, at 10 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. WILLIAM BRADFORD, Chaplain to the Embassy. His Highness Prince METTERNICH, Chancellor of State, represented his BRITANNIC MAJESTY on this occasion; who had signified his gracious intention of standing Sponsor for the young infant. Prince ESTERDAZY, who was to have represented the Marquis of LON DONDERRY, the 'other Sponsor, was prevented by illness from attending. His Highness's place was therefore filled by Lord STEWART.—Her Excellency the Ambassadress stood for her Mo ther the Countess of ANTRIM, and was attired, as well as the infant, in superb dresses of Brussels lace. The jewels, and especially the pearls, worn by Lady STEWART, were of the largest and most magnificent description.—We never saw her Excellency in higher beauty, and her lovely infant was the admiration of the whole company. lie was baptized by the names of GEORGE II ENRY ROBERT CHARLES. All the rank and fashion in Vienna were present in gala dress, and, with the Ministers and Officers of State in their orders and decorations, presented-a most brilliant spectacle. Prince METTERNICH wore the superb - Order and Ribband of the grand Cross of the Guelph. The Ambassadors 'of France, Russia, Prussia,. the Netherlands, &c. and the whole of the Corps Diplomatic, assisted at the ceremony. These distinguished Guests sat down at eleven o'clock to a sumptuous enter tainment, consisting of the choicest wines and every delicacy which the season afforded. The devices and decorations of the tables were unique, and the most elegant and appropriate we ever witnessed. The company separated at a late hour, highly gratified with the affability and at tention of their Noble Host and Hostess. Answer of Lieut. Governor Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND, K. C.B. to the joint Address of the Legislative Council and Assembly of Upper Canada, praying him to transmit their Address respecting losses to the KING :-- " Honourable Gentlemen and Gentlemen, " The sale of confiscated estates„ commanded for the graci ous purpose to which your joint Address alludes, was an earnest of his Majesty's benevolent intentions towards the suff . erers by the late war. The delay which succeeded, has been contrary to the wishes of your Sovereign.—llis Majesty's Government, in terested for t,lie sufferers, had recourse a second time to. the Par liament of this Province for the preliminary enactment which was necessary, but had been denied in a former, Session.—No representation, therefore, in addition to those already made, could be necessary to induce the attention of the. King to this subject, whenever an official statement of the proceeds of the confiscated property could be transmit ted from this country ; yet as the extreme distress of the sufferers under that pressure which we feel in common with other parts of the world, is the immediate cause of your ad dress, and the official statement of the proceeds cannot be immediately procured, I shall with great pleasure comply with yosr wishes; and I shall have the most sincere gratifica tion, if it should be found in the power, as I know it to be in the inclination of my Royal Master; to afford the sufferers, for whom I warmly feel, a compensation justly proportioned to the losses they mey have sustained." COURTS OF LAW.—This being the first day of Trinity Term, the LORD CHANCELLOR came to Lincoln's Inn Hall at an early hour, and having heard Counsel in his private room in the case of VINCENT v. Curt Tors, he gave audience to the Vice Chancellor, the Learned Judges, the Mas ter of the Rolls, the Attorney and Solicitor Ge nerals, together with the most eminent Counsel of the different Courts, who partook of br,eakfast with his Lordship ; after which they proceeded in state to Westminster, when the several Courts were opened with the accustomed formality. LIBEL ON LADY JERSEY.—At the Sitting of the Court of King's Bench this mo rn i ng , Mr. SCARLETT moved for a Rule to show cause why a Criminal Information should not be filed against Messrs. WEAVER, ARROWSMITH, and SHACKLE, for a libel on Lady SERSLY, contained in the John Bull Sunday Paper, of which they are Proprietors. The libel complained of, was imputing criminality to the Countess, in consequence of her visiting the Queen, stating, that she had thereby been abandoned by society, and was about to leave the country. An affidavit from Lord Jersey denied this statement, and the Court granted the Rule. The following paragraph appears in the Morn ing Chronicle of this day. We, conceive that the whisper which it alludes to is only heard in the Chronicle office, and it seems to be inserted with an insidious intention to excite expectation, to imbitter disappointment, and to occasion dis turbance : " It is whiSpered that a Bill is to be introduced into Parlia ment before its rising, to modify the Coronation Oath ; so that it may at no time hereafter be alleged as an obstacle to the placing all sects of Christians on an equal footing with regard to constitutional rights. Such an Act would be hailed by the pcopleof Ireland as auspicious to the just claim?..9f the Roman Cathohcs, and would prepare the way for his Majesty's joyous reception in the sister kingdom." Lord GNVICIER, who has the arrangement of tickets for the Coronation, has made the most• li beral provision for the admission of the Re porters from the several Public Journals, - so that the people throughout the Empire will be grati fied with the most ample accounts of this mcignifi cent spectacle, in all its forms and ceremonies.— Nothing can exceed the kind condescension and courtesy of the Noble Lord on, this, occasion, and it should be mentioned, to the honour of his libe ral spirit, that for tickets of admission in former instances payment was demanded, but that his Lordship has disdained to avail himself of any pecuniary advantage. Private letters from St. Helena, of the 25th of April, have reached town. The Ex-EmrEnon had not entirely recovered from the serious indisposition under which he had laboured, for some time past, and scarcely ever left his new house. Yesterday, about ten o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied by the Princess AUGUSTA, left town for Kew. Their Royal Highnesses called at Kensington, and took the Duchess of 'CENT with them. The Royal party returned to London to dinner in the evening. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE will reside at the KING'S Palace, in St. James's Park, during his stay in England. Apartments are preparing. fcr the reception of his Royal Highness. A Society is just formed in Limerick for the relief of distressed North Britons. Mr. J. EWART is elected President, Me. Stevenson, Vice Presi dent, and the Rey. John Pinkerton, Secretary.— (Cork Chronicle.) The Post-Masters-General of England have granted 10001. to the Commander of the Milford and Waterford Packets, and 100/. additional salary, for the loss sustained by them, occasioned by the Steam Vessels between Holyhead and Dublin.—(lbid.) Mr. JOHN WGREGOR of Waterford, the editor of The History qfthe French Revolution, which has attracted so much notice as a most valuable pub lication, has just put to Press An History of the City of Dublin.—(ibid.) PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE PARIS, JUNE 18.—T he discussions on the Budget have been very violent. The government has shewn great liberality in providing amply for the progress of education, which the Ultras do not like ; they want society to be in that state, when, to be able to write was _as great a disgrace to a Nobleman as if he had married a plebeian—but the Ministry seconded by the liberals carried the point. On voting the funds for the police the " Calumniator" CLAUSF.I. de COUSSERGUES re newed his attacks on M. DE CAZES j he attempted to show that from 1789 to the present hour, the French Police followed the same system, and that to it was owing all the horrors of a revolu tion, the 20th March, the Ordnance dissolving the Chamber of 1815, the Law of Elections, the massacres in the South of France, the murder of the Duke DE BERRY, the revOlutions of Spain, Portugal, Naples, Piedmont, and Greece!!! And of all these since 1815 M. DE CAZES was the author, whether in office or not. We can hardly suppose that a man in whom knave and ideot so perfectly unite, could be per mitted such rhodomontade. As he 'fad served BONAPARTE, he made a distinction between the services rendered. " There are, says he, two classes of services, one in which serving the Usurper was serving France ; in that class I stood ; the other was the reverse, and in that were all my enemies." I, says he, " have written a book to prove all I advance, and if any one does not think I have proved it, I consent to be called a calumniator"—a hundred voices instantly ex claimed—" edo not think you have, draw the coniequence."—M. ST. AULAIRE rose, and defended his son-in-law with a zeal and talent' only inferior to that displayed on the occasion by the Minister of Justice, Foreign Affairs, and Interior, who paid a just tribute to the adminis tration of the Duke DE CAZES, Count ANGLES ' and Baron Mousten, whom CLAUSE!. DE COUS sEnGuEs wished to prove responsible for all the crimes committed.—TioNNADlEu rose, as being the only one worthy of supporting his friend's motion. This man had the impudence to assert that the Ministry was the cause of the blood he had shed at Grenoble. Every one shud dered at the idea of this monster daring •to name an event which covers him with eternal disgrace, and for which his life ought to have paid the forfeit. I gave you at the time copies of his despatches, in which he informed the Minister, that the city was attacked by 7000 persons, and that their dead bodies covered a league round Grenoble. M. Dr CAZES obtained exact information of the fact, and found it was 300 persons out of work, unarmed for the most part, who were instigated by DONNADIEU'S agents to commit disturbances, and who fled with such precipitation, that though the troops were posted to receive them, and that they were totally una ware of it, only six were killed, and all by musket shot. DONNADIEU, in his despatch, states the killed at 700 ! !!—The affairs of Turkey are in a critical state ; the hour appears to be come when that monstrous anomaly will cease to exist in Christian Europe. THE IC ING'SVISIT TO THE CONTINENT.—Great preparations continue to be made at Hamburg!) for the reception of the KING of ENGLAND, whose arrival is announced for the month of August. As far as we yet know, his Majesty will probably meet the Royal Family of the Ne therlands at Spa, whether the Grand Duke Ni cholas may perhaps come from Ems, where he will stay some time on account of the health of his Consort. With respect to visits said to be intended to be made to the Courts of Berlin and Vienna, they are founded, for the present, on unanthenticated reports. So far as the plan of his Majesty's 'journey (which may how ever, be altered according to circumstances,) he will take the road directly from here by way of Giesseo, Marburg, and Cassel, to Minlen, the Hanoverian frontier town, where he will be re ceived with great ceremony ; he will then con tinue his journey to Gottingen, where a house is already prepared for his -reception in the village Of Wehude, and then go on the. Harz to Hanover. —(German Paper.) ENGLISH OPERA Houst.—This compact, con venient, and elegant Theatre was opened for the season last night, and was attended by a very numerous audience. The dramatic pieces were Free and Easy, The Romp, and The Vampire. BARTLEY, WRENCH, WILKINSON, Mrs. CHAT^ TERLEY, and. Miss KELLY, the standard per formers of the company, and some respectable additions, male and female, contributed highly to the gratification of the audience;' and the Pastoral Saloon constituted a very pleaiing and refreshing scene. POPERY.—On the 26th of October, 1630, Lord RUSSEL moved, that the Commons might, in the first place, take into consideration how to suppress the ascendancy of Popery and prevent a Popish successor. The Bill was brought in for excluding the then . Duke of YORK from the Crown, which passed the Commons,- but was thrown out by the Lords, to whom it was carried by Lord RUSSET, and almost the whole House of Commons. In 1821 a Bill was brought in by Mr. PLUNKETT and seconded by Mr. COURTENEY, for the reintroduction and establishment of Popery, which passed the House of Commons by a certain majority of thirteen only ! On being presented to the Lords, it was carried by a few members, and on the motion that it might be read a second time, it was thrown out by a ma jority of fifty four. , It only required a clause to prevent a Protestant successor to the Throne of England, to have formed a complete contrast with the other Bill. Since the above period, until this year, the Lords have never been put to the test : probably Lord GEORGE GORDON'S mob once saved them the trial. Thus then a ma jority of thirteen individuals seemed disposed to make that inroad upon the Constitution, in the present generation;which it had been the effected object of so many generations to prevent; that the civil liberty of the subject, as well as the re ligious, might be protected from the intolerance that would ensue upon Roman Catholic ascen dancy.

Previous to the appointed time the banks of the River presented a most. animated scene; and the water was covered with a vast number of pleasure boats, cutters. The first heat commenced a few minutes before four &Clock, from Westminster-bridge; the three first boats in this heat being entitled to row' for the grand prize, which was declared in favour of Purple, Orange, and Pink, they having distanced- their oppon- • cuts. About six o'clock the successful candidates in the last heat proceeded from Vauxhall-bridge, through Batcrsea, and to return down the Surrey.shore to the Prize Wherry, stationed opposite the Swan Tavern, at Battersea. Froth the well-known and tried abilities of the competitors, a very smart contest en. sued, each party . being confident of success, when Pink taking the lead, maintained it, and on the r o wers arriving a t th e P r ize leaped in amidst the acclamations of the surrounding multitude. A few days ago two large stone coffins were discovered in the Nine Altars' Yard, at the Durham Cathedral, by some workmen, who were digging there. On • inspection they were' found to , contain the skeletons of two.human bodies of gigantic size. EXPERIMENTS ON M I LIC.-MOriling'S Milk cons .
