WEYMOUTH, JULY most painful du t y devolves upon us to announce the melancholy death of W3I. FLOYER, Esq. about 19 years of age, eldest son of the late Rev. Mr. FLOYEIt, the worthy Rector of Stinsford, near Dor chester, a Midshipman belonging to his Majesty's ship Revo lntionaire, who - was drowned yesterday to the westward of Portland.—The Revolutionaire lately returned to Plymouth from the Mediterranean station to be paid off; this young Gen tleman was coming to this port in an open pleasure boat with one seaman, in order to proceed to his mother and family, and being shortly to come into the possession of an estate of con siderable value, to have resided on it. His great partiality for the watery element induced him to prefer the voyage by sea to a journey by land. The wind blowing fresh, and a strong tide, the boat drifted into the dangerous Race of Port land, shipped a sea, and in consequence sunk. The seaman and himself took to the oars and spars, and were observed by the Portlanders. A considerable time elapsed before a boat could be launched to go to their assistance. They used every possible exertion to rescue them from their dreadful peril, and succeeded in preserving the seaman's life, but, distressing to re. late, this brave and promising youth sunk to rise no more, after floating on the water more than two hours.—We understand that this Gentleman had also formerly served in his Ma jesty's ship Myrmidon, under the command of Captain GaluniEn, now inspecting Commander of the Preventive service on this station. He was an Officer of highly ac complished and gentlemanly manners, beloved by his brother Officers, and highly popular among the common seamen ; and had Providence been pleased to prolong his life, there was every prospect that he would have proved a bright ornament to the naval service of his King and country.— Thus has been snatched away in the bloom of youth, and in the fairest of worldly prospects, a young man who was the hope of a most respectable family, and has left an aged and affec tionate mother in the most severe and inconsolable grief for 'his premature and unfortunate death.—We do earnestly hope that this most lamented event will operate as a caution to many Gentlemen who but too frequently venture to come in open boats up the Channel from Plymouth and other ports along the coast to this place.

PRIG SytNP7,NCt. PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, JULY 16. To-day their Lordships did not meet till twenty minutes to five o'clock when the Bishop of EXETER read prayers. Lord ERSKINE presented a Petition from certain of the In habitants of the cities of London and Westminster, praying their Lordships to further the 111-Treatment of Cattle Preven tion Bill.—Ordered to lie upon the table. The Fees of Courts Bill was read a third time, passed, and a message sent to the other Muse ; and the London Bridge Waterworks, and Scotch Spirits Drawbacks Bills, were read a second time. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Mr. WEbTERN and others, brought up the Marriage Act Amendment Bill, and added, that the amendments made by their Lordships were agreed to by the other House. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. The Order of the Day having been read for the second read ing of the Bill respecting the-111-treatment of Cattle, Lord ERSKINE rose to support the Bill. He began by re ferring to the preamble of a former Bill, which had unfortu nately not experienced the concurrence of the House, but was objected to generally on account of its reciting, that whereas God Almighty had subdued the animal creation to the use and enjoyment of mankind, the latter were bound, in consequence, not to oppress but protect the animals so subjugated 'to their use. Whatever some persons might be persuaded to think and do, he had no hesitation in assuring their Lordships that his sentiments on this subject were unaltered and unal terable. He felt indeed the difficulties which were started in the way of the preamble of the fonner Bill, but it con tained an important truth, and, at any rate, its language was agreeable not only to the humanity, but also to the religion of an enlightened age. Granting this, he felt no difficulty on another score; all their LordshipA knew the principle of the present Bill, and, what was more important, he believed that all the world agreed in it. Difficulties, if there existed any, might be removed by permitting the measure to go into a Com mittee. He held the protection of animals to be an essential part of the chity of civilised man ; it was by every good man esteemed to be so ; but it was better, in the present state of so ciety, to pin this opinion, though undisputed in moral theory, on the records of Parliament, which, in effect, was the great ob ject of the present Bill. It involved no such preamble as had been opposed in the former Bill ; it contained nothing like it ; and their Lordships were not, by the present Bill, included in the protection of the whole animal world.._ (A laugh.;—There was already a precedent for the Bill; another Bill had passed . for regulating the parish of St. Marylebone, which prohibited the pastimes (such pastimes I) both of bulfbaiting and cock fighting, and this very Bill was supported in the House of .Commons by the desire of all persons of property and respecta bility in that parish. It was an abject of the Bill to prevent the infliction of wanton cruelty on the animal 'creation, as sub . tried to man ; and if he were asked for a definition of that epithet,, his interpretation would be--cruelty inflicted on =l imas for cruelty sake; not aceiiental hardship, not even a cruelty per necessitate, but that very intemperate or malignant cruelty, which, imitating the old enemy of mankind, went about with a ferocious thurst for revenge, and in that appetite was prepared to devour or immolate the most unoffending of the Creator's works. Never had he himself found a case wherein the owner of an animal was guilty of cruelty to that animal ; it was always the person or persons who were employed by the owner. some years ago, when it happened that, he was generally known, he thought it necessary to interfere with a man dis covered in kicking a horse ; when the defence set up was, that he (the offender) might do what he pleased with his own pro perty. He was answered, that he might legally do so, but that morally he was entitled to no such right. His observation was, that he had done the laWyer. But it was shortly found that this monster was not the owner of the horse; and he (Lord E.) had afterwards the satisfaction of receiving the thanks of the owner of the horse. He trusted that their Lordships would suffer the Bill to go into a Conainittee. • The LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the principle of the Bill, which he did not-consider a proper principle to legis late upon, but he should not object to the second reading, meaning to oppose the Bill on the commitment. The Earl of LAUDERDALE also intimated his intention Of opposing the Bill on the commitment, being of opinion that it was not fitting foi Parliament to legislate for the purpose of teaching men their moral duties. After a few words from Lord ERSKINE, the Bill was read &second time, and committed for to-morrow. SMALL NOTE BILL. The Earl of CARNARVON, on the Order of the Day for the third reading of this Bill, rose to give the measure his sup port, If the passing of this Act tended to throw an increased quantity of money into circulation, if it caused the amount to approximate more nearly tn that which 'circulated when agri:- culture was more prosperous, in so far its effects would be be neficial. As, however, the notes of the country bankers were to be payable in gold, the bill could have this effect only in a very slight degree. The bankers 'would not venture to issue more notes than they would be able to find specie for on any sudden emergency. Ile did not think; therefore, that the pre sent measure would have any material effect in counteracting Mr. Peel's As, however, he could anticipate no evil 'from it, and as, in as far as it would operate at all; it was likely to do good, he should give it his support. Ile could not, however, refrain from reminding their Lordships that this was the only measure which had been brought forward for the re. liefof agriculture. He should be told that that distress was caused by superabundance of produce, but he could prove that there was no superabundance. He could 'show that the dis tress followed the alterations in the currency, in the strict rela tion of cause and effect. It was, indeed, curious, that the country should be supposed to become more productive pre cisely in the inverse ratio of the issues of the Bank of Eng land. A large issue of Bank-notes and Exchequer Bills de stroyed, it would seem, the genial character of the climate of England ; but as soon as they were withdrawn, then there was everywhere a superabundance. As men grew older they were said to grow wiser, but it was very odd that the belief of all ages that seasons of abundance were blessings to a country should now be discovered to be erroneous. In the other House of Parliament he had concurred in passing many laws which had for' their object to encourage agriculture ; but now it appeared he ought to regret his labours, for he was told that abundance of produce was a great evil. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, he believed, was no conjuror ; yet his operations in concert with the Bank had such a magical effect on the country, that agricultural distress, like a vegetable/Irani pire, spread its terrors in every direction. The Noble Lord then proceeded to quote from tables of prices current, the re turns of cattle sold in Smithfield, the wheat in Mark-lane, and other documents, statements to show that the state of the cur rency had alone influenced the rise and fall of produce. When the circulation diminished, the prices were low ; when it in creased, they were high ; and agricultural prosperity had fluc tuated with the currency. The Noble Lord next quoted the prices of the contracts of provisions for the supply of Greenwich Hospital from the year 1744 to the present time, to show that transitions from war to peace had never before had any extra ordima effect, and that there was no such thing as high war prides and low peace prices. In fact, his quotations shewed that the prices, in so far as there was a difference ; were lower in. , war than in peace. He then adverted to the increase in the price of wheat, which was . principally governed by the quan tity of circulating medium in the country. This was clear from a reference to the prices of 1814, and down to 1819, since which they had been declining, owing entirely, as he contended, to the financial operations of the country, particularly to those of the Bank during that period. Early in the year 1816, the Go vernment, owing to the then alarming depression of agriculture, and the failure of several of the country banks, increased the circulating medium of the country by a large issue of many millions of Exchequer-hills, which at once relieved agriculture. Unfortunately, however, in1819,-came Mr. Peel's Bill, which, ,by the immediate contraction of the circulating medium, at once affected and depressed the agricultural interests. If they examined the question, they would find that this successive al teration and fluctuation of the currency not only operated on the agriculture of this country, but on the general transactions of other countries, by the effect which the purchase of the gold for the-Bank had upon their particular commercial arrange ments, and so far altered their ordinary standard of value as generally to affect commercial operations. He then turned his attention to the state of Ireland, which before the famine affected that country was exposed to a state of calami tous insubordination—hence came the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, and the Insurrection Act. With small farmers spread over that country, it was impossible for such people to withstand a bad season ; but there were other evils, and not the least of them arose from the want of adequate circulation of currency to give effect to the industry of the country; and the people of 'lreland were unable to pay either tithes or taxes:— He thought these causes fairly produced the consequences which he now deplored ; if there were other causes, Ministers were bound to state them. Unless they could bring them - selves to admit.the cause of the evil to be an undue contraction of the currency, in vain would they hope to obtain relief. If by re turning, as they ;lad done, to the old standard, and confining it to gold alone, they had produced the evil, why not retrace their •, steps, and remove that cause of all their difficulties ? Let them make one more change--let them divide she loss and the gain, and substitute another standard better suited to the capacity of the country as it now existed, not as it did 25 years ago. There were two points _to consider :—lst, Could the Bank resume cash-payments? anti then could the people bear that sudden change ? The Committee of 'lBl5 ought to haVe ascertained that the people could bear the weight of taxation under the pressure of the projected change, as well as how the Bank coffers stood. Unfortunately they confined themselves to the latter one, and from thence flowed all the evils Which bore down the agricultural interests at the presentinoment. Landed Gel tlemen, of thousands a year, a few years ago, were now, with out any imprudence of their own, unable to obtain as many hun- dreds : the yeomen under them became in a proportionate de , . gree affected by the.sad change. This measure, if carried, then, to its full length, would go . to the confiscation of the whole landed interests of the country. As to the supposed in justice of a revision of the standard to the public' cre ditors, he denied that any such result could follow.— It was perfectly clear that upon one great branch of the community, encouraged by the legislature to invest—great pro perty in hind, ruin had been inflicted ; it was, however, any thing but clear, that thasame ill consequences would befal any other class by a revision of the standard of the currency. At all events, be would deny that any part had a higher claim upon the state than one estimated upon the value of the cur rency at the time he had advanced his money to the state ; those who certainly lent their money before the Bank restriction act passed, might indeed draw a distinction between their cases and those of later public creditors. True, the Government gave them a pledge that their stock should be held liable to3a large Sinking Fund, which no longer existed.' He then entered into several calculations showing the comparative amount of taxes during the last years of the'var, and said, that step by step the Government had disqualified the country_ from either retaining an adequate Sinking Fund, or meeting the new circumstances of the standard of Mr. Peel's Bill, winch, instead of being an act of justice, or a boon, was one of injustice and oppresilen.— With what grace, then, could they talk of the inviolability of faith which they were ready to maintain with the public credi tor, when they had already, by their 'arrangement respecting the Sinking Fund, taken from him the redeeming security which they had pledged themselves to uphold ? He would im press the 'House (the Noble Lord continued) most strongly with the necessity of a thorough inquiry into the state of the country. If Parliament separated without devising some mea sure of relief, the people would be left almost in a situation of despair. It needed but one or two seasons more under The present system, and every thing valuable possessed by the land owners and by the agriculturists would pass into the hands of other persons. The Noble Lord sat down by declaring that he saw no remedy for the existing grievance short of Parliament retracing its steps, and giving an increased 'measure of currency to the country. - The Earl of LIVERPOOL had never looked at the Till before the House as likely to give any extensive relief in the present state of the country but as far as it went, its operation, 'he thought, would be useful. It was too much the fashion with thpie who speculated upon the condition of the landed interest .to attribute all it's distress to some one peculiar cause. Some traced the evil to an over production ; others ascribed it to the resumption of. cash payments : but he (Lord Liverpool) denied that the distress had arisen out of any one cause. flit cash payment acthad, perhaps, assisted to produce it; but not even assisted, in any very material degree. The fact was, that the distress arose out of no one cause alone, but olit of a great variety of causes operating combination--causes which themselves arose out, of a change in the course of circumstances and events, surpassing any transition which had happened. within the me mory of man. It was impossible to compare the change which had necessarily followed the termination of the late war, with that whichhad ensued upon any former contest in which Eng land had been engaged. Such a crisis, he. verily believed, could not be Paralleled,. unless it were in that irruption of the barba rians- which had led to the overthrow of the . RomanEmpire. The Noble Lord went on to deny having treated the question of over-production in the way in which the Noble Earl (Car narvOn) had described him as treating it. All he had ever meant or said was this-that the high - prides of the war had forced lands into. cultivation from which crops could not be raised, but at an expence exceeding their value. Had the - Noble Earl never heard of the rise of rents during the war ?. he know that from papers upon the table of the House it appeared that the rents of England during the late War had doubled themselves—nay, according to the best au thorities,. had nearly trebled themselves ? Had such been the case during the contest with Amenca ? Ott the contrary, rents had remained stationary, or in some instances had. fallen. 'When land Was forced into Cultivation at rents or . 20s. an acre, which in ordinary circumstances was not worth 55., what was it thatanust naturally follow upon a reduction of the then un naturally high market prices ? That was the realsover , produc- . tion—the production at a cost far greater than the value of the thing produced. Every man knew, who attended to cultiva tion, that some land would produce four quarters of wheat per acre at a less charge than other land would produce two. But it was not the over-production of this country which produced any thing like the present amount of agricultural depression. Let the House look at the importations from Ireland. From the year 1119 to the present moment; excepting a small supply of oats, no foreign grain had come into this country. Since England had been an importing nation, such a thing perhaps had not occurred before. But the fact was, that the importa tions from Ireland had more than filled up the gap. It had been one of his (Lord Liverpool's) inducements to the passing of the Corn Bill, that it would cause England to be supplied from - Ireland, instead of from foreign Europe. And when. Gentleinen looked at the state of the provision markets in England, let' them make allowance for the absence or Go vernment as a purchaser. Why, .the expenditure of Go vernment in those markets during the war had exceeded the sum of 2,000,0001. a year. What must naturally be the effect of such a call being withdrawn ? It was a remedy which he (Lord Liverpool) was far from wishing to see in operation ; but he knew, and he declared it plainly, that the only imme diate remedy for agricultural distress would be found in a large increase of the public expenditure. If Government should be so absurd as to involve itself in some contest which would cost 10,000,0001., the effect would be instantaneous upon the state of the markets, and agricultural distress would be heard of no more. Far was it from him to desire to see such a remedy in action, for he knew very well how the operation must end. The evil day would come at last, and it only grew the more terrible the longer it was put off. The apparent intent of the Noble' Earl (Carnarvon) was to make an alteration in the stand ard of the country. But why not state the wish opefily? 'Why, under an assumed name, veil the thing which was really to be done ? The wish was to make a partial national bankruptcy. Whether the point was accomplished bylowering the interest of the national debt, or by changing the value of the currency in which that interest was paid, came to the same thing—there was the breaking of the national faith. Now he (Lord Liver pool) disliked the plan of altering the currency—it looked' like an evasion ; and if the failure were necessary, he would really prefer to avow it, and to meet it openly. Adam Smith treated the insolvency of a nation as the same thing with that of a .pri vate individual ; the best thing, .he said, in either case, is to avow the fact too, and deal with the creditors without subter fuge or concealment. Let the House remember that the loans had been contracted for under an engagement to re store the ancient Standard of the country at the termination of the war. To lower it was to deprive the fundholder of his due, and to do it in a less honest way than by at once reducing the interest of the debt. But he saw no reason in the world for resorting to either of those measures. It was generally the for tune of (every interest to suffer in its turn. The commercial and funded interest had' suffered at one time ; the landed in terest was suffering now. It was the duty of`Parliainent to preserve the balance as far as possible ; and he admitted, that if *ere was a difference existing, that hair ought to be thrown into the scale of the agricultural interest. But Government must look at the state of the country altogether. :Was there any diminution apparent in the wealth of, the country ? There was a change, and a very inconvenient one, in the situation of 'pro perty,. but was there of wealth any actual diminution ? He said that there was,not. The state of the revenue, the increase in the consumption of all the common ,articles of life, proved the fact. Coffee, sugar, all the necessaries of life, were increasing in consumption from day to day. Then, if upon the whole the country had not lost; the difficulties .arising' out of changed situation would set themselVes to rights. Inconvenience would occur in the interim---inconvenience,which unfortunately could not be avoided; but that would, eventually, be the case. The Noble Lord concluded, by appologizing for not hating been prepared more fully to meet the 'arguments of the Noble Earl (Carnarvon) he had not expected that Noble Earl to'go so deeply.into the subject. . Lord CALTHORPE thought that nothing could preserve the agricultural interest but the interference of Parliament with the machinery of Mr. Peel's Bill. The Earl of CARNARVON, in' reply, urged such an ex tension of paper as had been given in the years 1818 and 1817. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed ; and the House adjourned at HALF-PAST EIGHT O'CLOCK. HOUSE OF COMMONS. At four o'clock only 38 Members had assembled; the SPEAxEn, therefore, declared the House adjourned till to= nidrroif. CITY, TuEsThAT VVENING. Mails arrived this morning from France and Holland, bui they do not contain any political information later than whit has already been received. The letters from' Paris are of Sun. day last. The Jiamburgh mail received yesterday anticipated the communication received froth the North by the Dutch mail this morning. From Madrid it was reported that an express had brought advices dated the 9th July. These rumours cir. , culated that farther encounters had taken place betwixt the Spanish people and the Royalist Guards on that day. They could not be ttaced to any authentic source, and consequently they gained very little credit. Spain is, however, in a very disorganiied state. Priestcraft and fanaticism have been making great efforts to retain their pre-eminence over in tellectual improvement, and in the neighbourhood of Bar , celona their efforts have been too successful. Letters from this City, dated the 3d of July; mention that the disturb= ances were daily increasing, and that - the rebels were be coming also more formidable.. Communication had been ren , dered very uncertain by the frequent interruptions of the mails by the royalist party; and fiery great alarm existed amongst the peaceably disposed inhabitants. A knowledge of the im , portant transactions at Madrid, on the 7th July, will, however, probatly extinguish every hope of success which these fanatics may at one time have indulged in, and will certainly restore confidence in; and add power to; the present liberal Constitution Of Spain. Consols for the settlement on Thursday next opened at 80i 3, and scarcely offered the slighted variation during the day. They finally closed at the opening price. There is great abundante of Money, and no employment for it either in-land or goods, by which common interest can be obtained. Nearly all the Banks in Scotland have giVen notice that they will in future lend money at 4 per cent. and consequently they cannot afford to allow more than 2,i to 3 per cent. fpr money deposited in 'their hands. This course must soon be followed by the English Country Bankers, and the de. cline in the value of money ought necessarily to enhance the price of the public securities of, the kingdom ; neither land, houses, nor merchandise offering any indutement to the capi talist. The superior interest attending the foreign funds is, no doubt, a great bait to him, and they consume a good deal of money which otherwise would have been invested in the English National:Debt. The want of confidenee, however, not in the means, but in the application of the resources of the Empire, appears to be at present an invincible bar to improvement, not only in the value of the public funds, but also in that of every article ; which otherwise would'be capable of producing some= thing for the comfort and prosperity of humanity. The French Rentes continue steady at 91, 50, 75. Prussian Old Fives at 88, and the New at 86. Columbian Old Bonds re main at 102; the Sixes at 84; Scrip. 841. Spanish Old Bonds are 01a ad the last Loan 61A 3. The late events in Spain depress these funds, but still great confidence is placed in the success of the Constitutional party, for a contrary result must inevitably annihilate the Spanish Securities. The Danish Fives are 86i, and the Neapolitan, 703 a. Russian Metallic Fives, 77i 78. AI. Rothschild's last loan, 82k, and very dull. Chili, 70a 3a 3. -Not much business has been done in any Of them. There is a slight improvement in the value of West India produce; 600 casks of coffee were sold this day.; Jamaica fine middling brought 135 to 140—Middling to good middling, 122- to 130—Good and fine ordinary, 108 - to 11B—Demerara and . Dominica middling to good middling, . 125 to 133.-1500 hogsheads of sugar have been sold at fully as good prices. For rums of low strengths there is more inquiry, and they have un.. dergone a trifling advance in their-prices. Mir. BROUGHAat's Beer, Bill has been freely ilicussed this day in the City, and there does not appear to be the slightest reason for opposing its passing into a law, excepting that it will interfere with the vested right which it appears the public brewers at present possess of exclusively serving the . poor and needy with beer, of such a quality as they choose to givel..em, and of charging for this beer 'whatever they please to ask.—' A better argument could not be used in favour of - this Bill than the only one which the proprietors of licensed houses have in their power to use against is. They say that if the grocer, or baker, or any respectable tradesman, were allowed to retail beer, no ,head of a family would permit either his wife or daughter to call at a licensed house for beer. This is a conclu sive proof, that in the estimation of the heads of families there is less morality at licensed houses than any where else, and a strong and imperative argument for the alteration of the sys tem. There many industrious men who have fallen from fortune and comfort in the city of London, who could render themselves useful, as well to their families as to their numerous friends, if they were permitted to sell beer. There is a good exemplification of this fact at present in Fenchurch-street.— A license, however, cannot be obtained, and an honest and in= dustrious man labours consequently under the greatest dis ; .. advantages, though he has numerous friends wishing to sup port him. He is, however, not the dependant of a public breiver. Licensed houses, besides bringing a high rent, often command a premium of from 20001. to 5(1001. for a 12 years lease. The consequence is, that the landlord is obliged to overcharge every article in order that he may be able to pay at this exhorbitant rate for his licensed house. Any other house,at a moderate rent would be equally serviceable, but he must not be allowed to accommodate his friends until he pays 5,0001. towards these vested rights for the commission generally of vested wrongs. Half-pay officers and men of limited income are severely injured by them. Accustomed to associate with gentlemen, and having no establishment at the place of their residence, they are compelled to live at coffee-houses, and to pay twice-more for every thing than otherwise would be necessary, and this for the benefit of overgrown monopolists. All, except brewers and some Magistrates, have a deep interest in correct ing such great abuses, and the conduct of the Representatives of the people towards this most salutary measure will, it is hoped, be in unison with the universal voice of the people.— ( Maiming Chronicle. ) BURNING OF A HINDOO WIDOW. [Flom the Madras Courier of Feb. 2.1 Early in January a warrior died, and was burnt in a well, about six feet deep. The same day his wife, prior to his death, told him she would go with him, and the same night dreamt her husband came 'to her, when asleep, and hit her upon the shoulder, saying, " Are you asleep—are you not coming ?" Upon this she immediately rose, and gave her child to the family, saying—take it, I shall have nothing more to do with it, and desired things miahi be prepared, as she was de termined to burn herself at 4 o'clock in the afterno n. All the offers of money, and persuasio is of her broth( r and , were of no avail ; the Rajah and Tassalder did all in their . power to dissuade her from committing the rash act, but in vain. A little after four o'clock she left her dwelling, in company with her family, and proceeded to a tank, near the village where her husband had bce burnt, and after performing the usual ceremonies, walked three times round the well, her brother and other relations holding her hand. _She then quitted their hold, plunged into the well, end sat down, when, dreadful to relate, wood, oil, and ghee, were thrown upon her by a few people. She was quite composed, and requested the people not to throw any more upon her, as she. was with her husband, and in the course of a few minutes she was consumed to ashes, without a groan or shriek. Not a torn torn was beat, nor did the natives shout, as generally is the. case ; all seemed horror struck at what they had witnessed. On the forenoon of they day she was to burn herself, she bathed, put on clean linen, eat beetle, and held in her hand a small looking-glass, upon which she continually kept looking. od od il " Il l° i ° 1 fps 7 1 ~''.. ~ of of 09 is ll ' call ail hg e4 S l ‘ r t i b il ; ,c of
