A Spanish Mail, with Madrid Papers to the 7 th of May inclusive, has arrived, but their con. tens have been in a great measure anticipated by "r previous extracts from the French Journals. At i important piece of information was commu okated in the sitting of the Cortes of the 25th of April, when a Report of the Committee °4 Public Credit was read. Ou this proceeding SL "R FERRER took occasion to allude to the pre 'alence of opinions unfavourable to public credit, which, he observed, were the more unjust,as of all t he Rations of Europe Spain presented the best Securities for its debts. This observation induced Sen or CANGA to rise, who informed the Cortes th at the Committee appointed to consider the state of the national debt, would prove that debt t° be far less than exaggerated accounts had la tely made it. Senor FERREIt spoke again in oufirmation of Senor CANGA'S statement, and said that several citizens, of whom he was one, had, 1) 7 a representation to the last Cortes, proved that the debt, which was supposed to amount to 14,000 millions, did not, at the most, exceed f3° ° o millions of reals (60 millions sterling).— T he accounts previously received through France of the defeat and dispersion of the insurgent b anditti in Biscay and Murcia are fully con firmed by the Madrid Papers.

Scotland is all cheaper country to live in than England, and Ireland again is still cheaper than Scotland! But who ever thought that the mass of the people, or any one class of the people, lived better in Scotland or Ireland than in Eng land ? --We cannot too often repeat that Ireland affords, in her present unhappy situa tion, the most salutary lessons to Statesmen, if they will but trace up her calamities to their real practical causes,—if they will but regard her as a beacon, warning them from wrecking the remaining interests of the Empire on the rocks upon which her welfare has been destroyed ! Living is cheap in Ireland, because Ireland is poor! It is also cheap in many countries of Europe, and in the wilds of Africa and America, for the same reason. How can Mr. RicAnno expect that his cheapness will improve the con dition of England, when he calculates that in order to arrive at that cheapness the value of her best lands must be deteriorated, while her inferior lands must go altogether out of cultiva tion ?--When rents shall have fallen,—when all incomes shalt be diminished.—when the condi- tion of the labourers of England shall be the con dition of the labourer's of Ireland (to which they are already rapidly declining),—when with dimi nished productio❑ there will still be excessive supply, on account of the still greater diminution of consumption,—then England will also enjoy the full blessings of the cheapness of profound poverty ; and the sun of her prosperity will have set for ever ! Since writing the above, we have received the subjoined Letter : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slit—Observing that the subject respecting " Absentees" was brought before the House of Commons yesterday by Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE, allow IBC to state to you—ln the year 1635 a Proclamation was issued to restrain the great resort of the Nobility and Gentry to the City of London, which was found to impoverish the Country, and increase the infection of the City. An information was exhibited in the Star Chamber against 7 Lords, 60 Baronets and Knights, and against nearly 100 Gentlemen, for non-observanCe of this Act of State. A similar Proclamation at this time, to restrain Emigrationa, though it might be an unpopular measure with a few, would, I think, in its consequences, be an extremely salutary one with the many. The number of Absentees from their native coun try isalmost incredible ; and the escape from all taxation ,:rhat ever by so many of these makes it of course fall the heavier on those who remain behind. Ireland never would have been in her present deplorable condition, had she not been deserted, as she has been, ever since the Union, by her natural protectors— the Nobility and Gentry. I remain, Sir, Your most obedient servant, 141, Jermyn-street, St. James's. H. D. The Petition of the Magistrates, acting in and for the Parish of St. James, Westminster, which we have inserted this day, is such a curious in stance of a disposition to surrender power, as is highly honourable to their principles and character. The conduct of certain Brewers, in• possessing themselves of Public-houses, and their influence over Magistrates in procuring Licences for those houses and refusing them to others, is a very serious evil, disgraceful to the country, and injurious to the people. —The vast fortunes which have been acquir ed by Brewers shew that they could well afford their Beer at a much lower rate than they charge it to the Public, while, at the same time, the quality of the Beer has been much de teriorated, and if report says true, ingredients have been mingled in the composition, of a very unwholesome description. As Porter is the chief beverage of the middling and lower classes, it is absolutely incumbent on the Government to adopt some measure, not only to prevent the monopoly of the Brewers, but to restrain their avarice, and secure a nutritious article of such extensive consumption, in which the general wel fare of the community is essentially involved. — The Petition is temperate and respectful, and is supported by such solid facts and weighty ar guments as, we trust, cannot fail to have their due influence upon the Legislature. The negociation with the South Sea Company for the Pension Loan having, as it appears, failed, in consequence of the deficiency of sub scriptions to make up the amount required as a deposit by Government, there are various ru mours in circulation as to the course still intend ed to be pursued, in order to carry the project into execution. In the absence of authentic in formation on the subject, we shall not at present notice any of the vague statements which are afloat. We earnestly hope, however, that the scheme will be found practicable, even if it should be effected on terms apparently disadvan tageous to the Public ; for there can be no doubt that national advantages, much greater even than the whole pecuniary amount of the transaction, would result from the reduction of taxes, without any diminution of expenditure, which the execu tion of this wise financial operation would enable Government to effect It is said that the idea of enabling Country Banks to be founded on the principle of the Scotch Banks, and of empowering them to make payments in Bank of England paper (the con currence in which, on the part of the Bank of England, was to be purchased by an extension of its charter) has been abandoned. The prin cipal object intended to be accomplished by this measure was to increase the circulating medium, to the diminution of which, from the supposed effects of Mr. PEEL'S Bill, the agricultural dis tress and the general difficulties of the people have been popularly attributed. It is now ) however, alleged that Government have ascer tained that the Country Bankers do not require any facilities for the extension of their transac tions ; but that, on the contrary, they possess ample means of affording all the pecuniary ac commodation for which satisfactory securities can be offered them. If this representation he correct, it confirms the reasonings by which we endeavoured to shew that the diminution of the currency, or rather of the medium of exchange, was pot the cause of the distress or of low prices ; but that, on the contrary, the low prices had caused the contraction of the currency. From all the re flection which we have been able to give the sub ject, we are confirmed in this opinion. In the currency we include not only the metallic money of the Government, but the paper of the Bank of England, the paper of country Bankers, and the private paper of individuals. The medium of exchange comprizes not only all these, but book credit. The Government money, therefore, forms only a part of the aggregate medium ; and any diminution of the Government money would have been instantly compensated by an increase of private paper and credit, if the country had been in a prosperous condition. NAVIGATION BILL.—It is now generally un derstood, that several material alterations are to be made made in this Bill, and that its provisions are to be confined to the European Trade only. We are glad that even this concession has been made by the Board of Trade, but it would give us and the Country greater satisfaction if the Bill was abandoned altogether—or at all events until the next session ; for we are convinced that the more time there is afforded for reflection on this speculative and hazardous measure, the stronger will be the objections to it. WEST INDIA INTERCOURSE.-This ill-timed and unnecessary measure, we hope, will also be postponed for another year. It will afford an opportunity to the British North American Co. lonists to be heard against it, and who will skew that the duties proposed to be imposed in the Sugar Colonies on American produce, will afford no protection whatever to the British Colonists— whilst Cie measure will altogether exclude from this trade the British Shipping. We have the satisfaction to state, that the Irish papers received this morning do not contai❑ any accounts of fresh outrages. Neither, how ever, do they communicate any further surrender of arms by the peasantry. The intelligence of the munificent subscription opened in London has however been received in Ireland with joy acrd gratitude, and will do more, we trust, to ward disarming the population of their virulent passions and antipathies, than the terrors of the law itself.—The further relief about to be given by Government, through the employment of a part of the peasantry in the distressed districts, will also, no doubt, have very happy effects. Government have purchased one thousand tons of potatoes at Leith for three half-pence per stone, to be sent to Glasgow, and from thence to Dublin, where they are to be put on board canal boats, and forwarded to this city, and other parts of the South ; and should an equal quantity be required in addition thereto, it will be furnished. To such as have not the means of paying for them, they will be delivered gratis. This ready supply, it is to be hoped, will have the effect of counteracting monopolists , who may have taken advantage of the present distresses to en hance the prices of provisions, and thereby acquire profit at the expence of public misery. It has been truly said, that the poor peasantry owe to the Government every thing.—( Cork Mercantile Chronicle, May 13.) CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. This may well be called the age of improvement. Vaccine inoculation, steam engines, gas lights, and many ether modern discoveries have had their admirers, but all of them have con ferred signal benefits on the human race. A new class of philo sophers have, however, within the last week arisen in the City, who are likely to eclipse, by their deeds, all the knowledge yet acquired in the 'known and unknown world. They call them selves Amateurs of Finance. Their professed object is to ex pend abundance of money, without having any visible means for repaying it, and the only difficulty they at present feel is, " how they can best induce the world to patronise their virtu ous exertions."—The Minister of the British Empire, rich in resources and in public virtue, has proposed a plan for raising money, which has given astonishment to a great portion of his Majesty's subjects, and has consequently created much anxiety in the minds of the modern Amateurs of Finance. Many of these Gentlemen have waited on the Minister, but the result of the different conferences has been equally unsatisfactory to both parties. The Minister wanted money, and the modern Finance Philosophers wanted knowledge; and both were equally disap pointed. The South Sea Company was unable to make auy offer, and thus their expected profit on agency has been frus trated by the good sense of the public. It is now reported, that the Bank of England has agreed to lend the Government two millions farther, at three per cent., and which sum must be added to the already enormous debt of England. If this system of expediency be sanctioned by the House of Commons, gloomy indeed is the prospect for England. To put off the evil hour, even for one short year, seems to be the principle of the present Administration—to frighten and to humbug the Country Gentlemen, appears at present to be their only object. In the City, however, where every man must look to himself, their quackery has little or no effect. The Fundholders trust to the well-known honour and resources of the :Zmpire, and pay little attention to the shifts which the present splendid Ad ministration is obliged to practise in raising money to support their extravagance.—Their absurd negociations for a Loan have no effect on the public securities, and the reason is very simple—" they are known."—Letters from Buenos Ayres quote wheat as high as fourteen dollars a fanega of 2001 b., and American flour has risen there from 6 to 17 dollars a barrel. The holders of foreign grain still hope that their interests will be attended to in the new Corn .

[Extract of a letter from Bombay, dated Oct. 26.1—" His Majesty's ship Liverpool has arrived here from Muscat. — We are sorry to observe that the crew have suffered severely from the excessive heats that pervade the Persian gulf at this season of the year, but which have been this year more in tense than usual. In addition to several seamen who have died, we are sorry to include no less than three of her Lieutenants, and the Surgeon ; the names as follow :—Lieutenants FEN WICK, GERRIDO, and BELL, with Mr. ALEXANDER, the Surgeon. Several officers attached to the troops at Kishmi have also died ; viz. Lieut. LE BLANC, of the Ist batt. 12th Regi ment; Lieutenants FonnEs and RrND, of the European Re giment. The weather for these some days past has been close and oppressive during the day, but the nights have af forded the usual Elephanta squalls which indicate a change of season. A considerable quantity of rain has fallen, and reports from the Uplands assure us that the grain crops have been placed in a state of security by this timely supply of rain. The cholera has made, and continues to make, most dreadful and alarming ravages at Bussorah : in fifteen days 14,000 people were carried off at Bushire, 20 per day are dying, and the number increasing; it has extended to Kozroom, and will no doubt soon make its progress' all over Persia; the consequence is, numerous families have quitted their houses; no business is done—the Bazaars remained closed and unsupplied, and a gloom the most dismal pervades throughout." DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-This morning, as two young women were walking in St. George's-fields, a cow that was passing with a calf suddenly at tacked one of them, and wounded her so severely in the side that she died in a short time after.— The same ,cow, in proceeding over Blackfriars Bridge, attacked a young woman, and wounded her severely. Surely, as the vicious temper of the animal must have been known to the driver, he deserves some punishment for his want of cau tion and humanity. DEPARTURES.-Mr. and Mrs. Stanford Carroll, from Wel beck-street, for Brighton ; Wynne Aubrey, Esq. from the Lincoln Hotel, Manchester-street, for Brighton. • FASHIONABLE PARTIES. The Duke of Sussex has issued cards of invitation for an entertainment on Sunday next at Kensington Palace. The Rev. Sir C. Jervoise, Bart. entertained a distinguished party yesterday at his house in Hanover-square.

Yesterday, the Earl of Yarmouth gave a sumptuous dinner at his house in Seymour-place, to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, his Highness Prince Esterhazy, Marquis of Anglesea, Count Lieven, Lord William Bentinck, Earl Gower, and a large party of Noblemen and Gentlemen. Yesterday, the Earl and Countess Bathurst gave a grand dinner at their house in Great Stanhope-street, Park-lane, to her Royal Highness Princess Esterhazy, the Duke of Wel lington, the Marchioness of Londonderry, Earl and Countess of Mansfield, Countess Lieven, Count and Countess Munster, Viscount and Viscountess Granville, &c. A ',MACK'S Ball on Wednesday evening was most brilliantly attended. Dancing commenced about eleven o'clock, and con tinued with great spirit till past four yesterday morning. There were present upwards of 400 persons of the first distinction and fashion. - On Wednesday afternoon their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of DENMARK, and a numerous suite in their train, arrived in four carriages, at No. 65, \Vimpole street, which house has been lately taken, and fitted up in a most magnificent style for their reception, their Royal High nesses having declined accepting the proffers of his Majesty, in order to live as private as possible during their residence in this country. P 0 E T Jt Y. THE GRAVE. I love to muse, when none are nigh, Where yew tree branches wave, And hear the winds, with softest sigh, Sweep o'er the grassy grave. • It seems a mournful music, meet To soothe a lonely hour; Sad though it be, it is more sweet Than that from Pleasure's bower. I know not why it should be sad, Or seem a mournful tone, Unless by flan the spot be clad With terrors not his own. To nature it seems just as dear As earth's most cheerful site • The dew-drops glitter there as clear, The sun-beams shine as bright. The showers descend as softly there As on the loveliest flowers ; Nor does the moonlight seem more fair On beauty's sweetest bowers. Aye! but within—within there sleeps One, o'er whose mould'ring clay The loathsome earth-worm winds and creeps, And wastes that form away.' And what of that? the frame that feeds The reptile tribe below, As little of their banquet heeds, As of the winds that blow. BERNARD BARTON. KING'S TIIEATRE.-The Farewell Benefit of Madame CAMPORESE attracted a very numerous audience last night, to the regret of the frequen ters of this Theatre, and to the higher musical circles, as she possesses great talents, both as a Singer and an Actress. She has also endeared herself to many distinguished friends by her mo dest unassuming manners, and the uniform pro priety of her private conduct. The Opera which she brought forward on this occasion has been much admired abroad : it is intitled Otello, and is of course founded upon the Tragedy of our great Dramatic Bard. It was, no doubt, impossible to compress the chief incidents, and all the charac ter of the Play, into an Opera of only two Acts; but such an abridgement has been made as still to secure a very strong interest in the story ; and in justice to the composer, Rossnii, it must be stated that his music is admirably adapted to the sentiments, and is appropriate, touching, and expressive. We have not room to detail the variations from the original fable, but we may truly observe that the whole forcibly interests the feelings. CAMPORESE was highly interesting as Desdemona ; CuaioNi was Otello ; PLACCI, logo; BEGREZ, Roderigo; CARTON!, Bra bantio,now named Minn.(); and Signora CARADORI, the Emilia. They all exerted themselves with zeal, evidently animated by friendship, and the whole was so gratifying, and so well received, that it will doubtless be repeated with great advantage to the Theatre. ARGYLL 11003,15.-The third of Madame CA.• TALANI'S series of Concerts, which had been delayed on account Of her indisposition, took place on Wednesday. There was a great struggle to procure admission on the opening of the doors, and the room was immediately filled. The ex ertions of this wonderful performer displayed .no marks of her recent indisposition. Her vocal powers are certainly much beyond any that have been witnessed in this country, and she was rap turously applauded. BEGREZ and KELLNER were the other vocal performers. YANIEWIEZ, with hisjviolin, and NICHOLSON, with his flute, agree ably diversified the general entertainments. We know not who was the architect of these rooms, but in justice to him it must be said that they are admirably calculated for music, vocal and instrumental. THE ABBE SICARD.—The funeral of this truly good man took place at Paris or) Monday last. His remains were attended by a military escort, Mcipbers of the Institute, and the Deaf and Dumb Pupils of the deceased. Two days before his death, he addressed these words to the Abbe Gou delin, the Director of the Deaf and Dumb School of Bordeaux : —" My dear Brother—Ready to die, I bequeath to you my dear children—l bequeath their souls to your religion, their bodies to your care, their intellectual faculties to your en lightened capacity. Perform this noble task, and I die tranquil." Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, the whole of the East India Company's troops, consisting of upwards of 650 men, paraded in the yard of their New-street warehouse, in full regimentals. At nine o'clock they marched off, under the corn."

AIELANCIIOLY 'SIIIPWRECK.—On Sunday, the 21st ult, was unfortunately lost, with all her crew, near the Island of Caldy, the schooner Oak, John Cudlipp, master, from Bridge water for Barnstaple, laden with elm trees. It was supposed she struck on the Wollies Rocks, and foundered. Nothing, on the following day, could be seen but her Masts, which, by the force of the storm, were separated from the hull, and, together with her sails, rigging, &c.' were .found on the west end of the island in the morning. We have seldom had the painful task of recording such a series of heart-rending pri vations as have befallen the afflicted mother of this young man. About eighteen months since, her husband was lost in the shipwreck of the sloop Aunery, off Barnstaple Bar ; only four months ago her son Thomas, belonging to the Ilebe, Captain Carder, was drowned off Dunraven ; and now this ex cellent son, on whom she principally depended for support of herself and eight children (six of whom are under twelve years of age, and one a cripple), has been taken away.

BRIGHTON, MAY 15.—A few evenings ago a person of high respectability, bound for France, had his papers overhauled on shipboard, by high authority, which detached from his other papers certain written documents, the object of the search, and left him to make the passage without them. It is likely that this matter may make some noise in the world hereafter. DARING ROBBERY.-Tuesday night, or early on Wednesday morning, the warehouse of Mr. George.:Offor, No. 5, George-street, Tower-hill, was robbed of property to,a considerable amount. The thieves entered by taking out a square of glass in the first floor front window ; the warehouse is in a public street, next door to a house occupied by the watchman of the parish. The robbers must have had a lad der planted against the front of the house for some time in or der to effect their purpose. They succeeded in carrying off the contents of a portmanteau of wearing apparel, and many valu able books. CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 17. We experience the same apathy in the Corn Trade as of late. -There was scarcely a Buyer in the Market this morning for any thing but Oats, which are rather brisk, and fully maintain Monday's prices. We must refer our readers to Monday's quo. tation for the prices of Corn generally,—the Factprs nit being disposed to reduce their demands for Grain of good conditiOn and quality, which, if acceded to, the Buyers would be difficult to be met with in the prerent state of the Market. SMITHFIELD MARKET, MAY 17. The supply of Oxen this morning was rather short, but in all other descriptions of Cattle it was good ; the prices of Va rious sorts of meat may be quoted as per last Monday's market, although there was a dull sale.
