FETE in HONOUR of tit PEACE. The magnificent- preparations making 'to cele brate the Peace, at Carlton House, engross the attention of all the parties concerned. The Board of Works have received instructions to erect an immense body of frame-work, eighty feet in height, in front of the Palace, occupying nearly the whole of the Court-yard. In addition to transparencies, there will be devices in variegated lamps of a most extraordinary description. It was proposed to .0:),Ioncl CONGREVE, that he Ahould exhibit his celcoratedrocl:cts, and that they shonfd appear to issue out of imitative martelh)-towers, surmounting t k cry other exhibition. The idea was at first entertained, hut subsequently aban ioned, in consequence of the probability of acci lents happening, by particles of the fire falling on houses, and among the assembled multitudes, at tracted thither by this concatenation of glorious objects. After mature deliberation, we bear, that Colonel CONGREVE'has it in contemplation to es.- hibit those terrible engincitf destruction in the Green Park, on the first night of the illumination. To give full effect to the scene, a bridge. will be erected on the canal, and.from thence the' rockets are to ascend. To gratifY-JoifN BULL, there will be snch an effulgence produced: as to set the ele ments on fire ; uo less than 10,000 rockets • will .ascend at one time.

On two several applications for delay from the parties to certain Irish Appeals, the LORD CEIA'NCBLLOR took'occa sion to express his indignation . at the neglect of the . Orders of the House which was so frequently_ manifested by varties to Appeals from Ireland ; and, at the instance of tho Noble and Learned Lord, it was ordered that the cases in question should come on in their proper order.

Mr. I-lARvEy ;aid that , on the third reading he would- object to the clause relative to the rates. The Bill was ordered to h e read a th i rd, time to morrow. EMIT' . CANAL BILL. The Erith Canal Bill was moved to be read a Second time. Mr. R., WATID oppored the second reading. Mr. PETER MOORE spoke in favour of the Bill. Sir Joscpu YOIIKE, in ansvrer to an . observation that this Canal was approved of by the Admiralty, said, that the approbation consisted merel'y in this, that they would pay toll on their Vessels going through the Canal, in the same manlier as other ships tivritld do. The reach which it 'was, pro -posed to Cut of was extremely had. In a paper which had been cireulatcd, it was said that f.'00,000/. was subscribed to this undertaking, bat on inquiry at the Bill Office, he found-thiit the spb seriptions only amounted to 1.0,0001.3 1 in this case the %vork could not on. Mr. CALCRAFT said, a number of beneficial effects were held out as likely to result, from this u ndertaking. It had been said that 400,0001. would be laid out on labour, 'and this would he of the utmost consequerie at a tune when so many disbanded soldiers and sailors would be unem ployed. But tlne whole cmiency ashheld ot4he.n to subscribers as only 310,0001. t could 409,0001. be laid out in labour .done ? But he apprehended that the Making the Canal would be attendekwith considerable danger to the river navigation; for it was likely to lower the depth of wttter in the river, it was impossible to dispense Altogether with the rivet navigation; fOry in frost, the Canal would not be naii-ahte; and in that case the supplies of this g reat Metro p olis might be endangered. lie - should move; by. way Of .

He moved that it be read on this day six months. Mv. Alderman SmlTu opposed the Bill, and sup ported the Amendment. Mr. DOUGLAS, id a low tone of voice, replied to some ()Nile arguments employed against the Bill, particularly to those of ,destroying the influence of the aristocratic body, and that it would injure a large class of the community by. depriving them I of their rights. lie was the last persim whq • prOpose anylneasur w ju e that thild 'be generally in rious. • *Lord -MILTON contended that the Bill, as now amended by the introduction of the word " Coun,- ty," disfranchised nine-tenths-of the 'Electors of the kingdom.

Mr. PlosE.,• in support of the Bill, contended, that if the. money given to the Freeholder were only just sufficient to entry him to the place of 'election, yet, by accepting it, lie was not an inde pendent man. Mr. LtSCELLES objected \to,tbe introduction of the word " County" into the Bill hut confessed, that eVen •vithottt that word. he should have voted against it.
