The CuANcELLoa of the Excl!EQtErt declared (though probably with no great fear on his mind as to the result) that the decision of that question would determine the success of the tQancial arrangement to be this day submitted for consideration in another place. As far as it depends upon the vote of the House of Com mons, that arrangement sets out prosperously, for an amendment to Lord A LTILORPE'S motion was carried by a majority of 234 to 126. Lord A urnoneE acknowledged, that to cut away the n hole surplus revenue, and thus reduce the income of the country to a bare level with Us current demands, would be an impolitic mea sure, and be therefore urged the necessity of .reducing our expenditure, as well as abandon ing the present plans for bringing down the :National Debt. ft would appear, however, that, in the opinion of the Noble Lord and his supporters, this latter scheme was to be the principal source of hope, for the reductions which they pointed Out are either comparatively unimportant, or of doubtful practicability, to say nothing of their justice or policy. Lord ALTHORPE considered that, with respect to the Army, after making allowance for the increase of pay, and increase, on the half-pay, in latter years, an " approximation" might be effected to the expenditure of 1:79; and he conceived that the .end could be in part accomplished by making the Colonies pay for their own defence. This, how-, ever, is grmmd not rashly to be ventured upon; nor do we thiuk, with the Noble Lord, that a diminution of the annual expenditure would be wisely or safely purchased by abandoning or ne glecting any of our naval arsenals. Lord Joll'i RUSSELL spoke of retrenchments that might be made in the Civil List, and in the expense of Embassies ; but, in truth, the grand and only important resource contemplated on this side of the House was, to put off the public cre ditor ! It was argued that, according to the plan of l'ilinisters, only thirty millions of the debt could be paid off in six years, an amount so trifl ing in proportion to the whole, that it was delusive to talk of such a payment as affording. any ground of security to the fundholder. Now, although thirty millions may be a mere dust in the balance, an, object 'imperceptible by the naked eye, yet we think that very important consequences may depend upon the continuance or the withdrawing of this tiny payment. When a plan has been digested and acted upon for discharging a debt by regular proportions, however small, it makes a great difference in the creditor's situation, whether those pro portions be regularly paid, or suddenly and ca priciously diverted to other purposes. The sum which he would receive in any short space of time is, perhaps, too trifling to be missed, but his chance of ultimately recovering his :whole de mand sinks almost to annihilation, when the whole arrangement by which it was to be liqui dated is wantonly given up. We say wantonly, for whatever may be the present distresses of a part of the community, we must allow great weight to the observation of the CIL of the EXCHEQUER, that while the national circum stances are in many respects so prosperous and likely to improve, it cannot with any propriety or attention to national faith and justice be contended that this is a time for a remission of taxes by tampering with the security of the public funds. We think we are per fectly justified in assuming that if the ap plication of surplus revenue to the Sinking Fund be abandoned at this period, it is not likely to be ever resumed ; fur if it is now said that the circumstances of the country do not allow a con tinuance of the measure, what aspect of affairs is likely to occur in which the people will hear with patience of its revival ? Engrossed as we are at present with the com plaints of a suffering class, and dealing compara tively at ease with the national creditors, it would be as well not to dismiss altogether from our minds the possibility of another war, and to ask our selves in what situation all classes in the coun try, landholders as well as others, would be placed, if we were called upon to commence a new contest under the difficulties attend ant on on impaired state of public credit. — It should also be fully considered how far the agricultural body is really affected by the present state of taxation, since it is very ge nerally allowed that the distress did not origi nate in that cause ; and it has been strongly ar gued, that a removal of taxation, even to the extent required, would not meet the evil at its fountain-head. In reply to a question from Mr. BERNAL, Mr. WicmoT stated last night in the House of Com. mons, that no Order in Council had been issued for opening the trade between the West India Islands and America ; and that the step could not possibly have been taken, inasmuch as the Act which authorized the issue of such Orders expired six months after the signing of the defi nitive Treaty of Peace. Mr. HumE made eight motions for returns. We received this morning the French Papers of Tuesday, of which the following are Ex tracts : " PAnrs, FEB. 19.—Yesterday the President and a Deputation of the Chamber of Deputies presented to the King the Projet of Law on the Journals, adopted by the Chamber in its Sitting of the 17th. " Workmen are now employed in preparing for the erection of the monument in honour of the virtuous Malesherbes, which is to be placed in the Great Hall of the Palace of Justice. " Private letters from Naples, of the 31st January, state, that, in consequence of the re cent disturbances in Sicily, two Austrian regi ments have been embarked for Palermo, and 1000 men from the garrison of Messina have been sent to the same destination. " Several individuals belonging to the princi pal families of Palermo have quitted Sicily, and repaired to the Continent. Many persons under arrest have also arrived at Naples, among whom is the Ex-Deputy Dragonetti. Nine individuals have been shot at Palermo : the Abbe Villa and a Notary are of the number ; and many others are threatened with the same fate. Lieutenant- General Nunzianti is invested with very eaten sive powers for the maintenance of order. " The Bavarian Chambers have assembled, and their first preparatory sitting took place on the 15th January. The King, in his opening Speech, expressed his satisfaction at the creation of the Provincial Councils, which enabled the provinces to state their desires and wants, and also with the concordat, the execution of which ought not to give the Protestants any uneasiness, inasmuch as it did not interfere with other Chris tian confessions. " We learn from Aschaffenbourg that Baron Dalberg has received the following letter from Madrid, dated the 6th of January : " The enthusiasm of the Germans for the cause of Greece has excited the warmest admiration of the Spaniards. We en treat you to Inform the Public that, at the end of the present month, an expedition of 300 warriors will assemble in one of the Mediterranean ports, who will be furnished with supplies of every description by the Cortes, notwithstanding the Treasury is so poor.

"FRANKFORT, FEB. 15.—We know from good authority, that the definitive answer of the Rus sian Cabinet to the last note of the Porte, modi fying the conditions of the ultimatum of the Emperor Alexander, has not yet been received at Vienna. " We learn from Petersburgh, that couriers are continually passing between that capital and the head quarters of the army of the Pruth. Frequently the'dispatches are sent by officers of high rank. " HAMBURGII, FEE. S.—(Extract of a Private Letter.)—The. German Company of the Indies, which is formed of the principal manufacturers in the North of Germany, and whose central establishment is at Elberfeld in Prussia, has just opened a commercial intercourse with St. Do mingo, and particularly with that part which forms the Republic of Hayti. It has sent thither a vessel laden with German manufactured goods, to be exchanged for colonial productions. This vessel is arrived safe at Port au Prince, and the Agent-General of the Company, M. Holzschue, has had an audience of the President Boyer, by whom he was well received. The Agent-General delivered to him his letters of appointment, and presented him with a piece of silk, manufactured at Elberfeld, on which the following inscription was stamped :—" Homage of German Industry to Alexander Boyer, President of Hayti."

Some more burnings and robberies have however been per petrated. It was a party of the Listowell Yeo manry who so gallantly repulsed the Insurgents in the late attack upon Listowell Barracks. On Monday th.r4 Special Commission for the County of Cork proceeded to the trial of the Whiteboys and other prisoners confined in the County Gaol. The Court was crowded, and was attended by many persons of distinction. A panel, consisting of upwards of four hundred per sons summoned as Jurors, of whom not thirty were absent. Fourteen prisoners, named Murphy, Reardon, Lehane, Brun, G oggin, Buckley, Lucy, Hurley, Hincky, Kelleher, Schriven, Swiney, Lynch, and M. Swiney, were put to the bar, charged " with having, at Carreganimmi, in the County of Cork, on the 24th of January, assem bled illegally, and fired a gun on the liege sub jects of the King ; secondly, with having fired a gun at ROBERT If. ErRE, Esq. and other persons ; —and thirdly, for being pre sent when a gun was fired by a person unknown."— (This was the affair with the King's troops after the attack on the Cork and Tralee Mail Coach.) —The ATTORNEY-GENE RAL, in stating the offence of the prisoners to the Jury, said, that the objects sought to be obtained by the deluded men who had recently committed so many outrages were very difficult to be as. certained. It was accurately known, however, that it was an association of the lowest persons, without a single man of respectability, leagued together for purposes, which they, perhaps, scarcely knew themselves. If purposes they had, they were purposes of undefined hostility to the establishments of the country, without the capa bility of substituting any thing in their place. Their oaths required obedience to unknown leaders to effect undefined purposes. " To say that a religious or political feeling had any influence in them, was idle and absurd. They were an association of ruffians, who had severed them selves from earth and heaven,-,--outcasts equally fr©m God and Religion, whose violence was di rected as well against the Prie:A at the Altar as the Monarch on his Throne. Bold, hopeless, and fearless as they were, to mention Religion in conjunction with them, was to profane its sacred name and character." After a long and patient examination of Nvitnesses on the part of the Crown, amongst whom were several gentlemen and soldiers, ten of the wretched men were found guilty ; and four, namely, the two Swineys, 6'chriven, and Lynch, were acquitted. None of the prisoners called any evidence, except as to their character. PITT CLUB.—It was recently predicted in the chief Opposition Journal, that the political cha racter and principles of our late illustrious States man, to whom all Europe is indebted for deli verance from the most formidable Despot that ever oppressed mankind, were sinking fast into contempt, and that there would be " no more PITT DINNERS "!! ! To the mortification, if not to the shame, of the factious Prophets alluded to, the PITT CLUES are daily increasing in ge neral estimation, and there are not fewer than 46 of the most respectable characters now candidates for admission to the FOUNDATION CLUB in London, who are recommended by many of the most re spectable of the present Memb , ers. To chew still further the folly, ignorance and falsehood of the Factious Seers; the ANNIVERSARY DINNER in honour of the birth-day of our great departed Statesman and disinterested Minister, is an nounced, and it has been proposed that a second Monthly Dinner should be held in April. There can be DO doubt that there is an equal zeal for admission into the numerous PITT CLUBS through out the British Dominions, and we predict that the name of PITT will descend with increasing veneration to the latest posterity.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRID3E, FEB. 21.—We understand that the Rev. Jas. Henry Monk, B.D. Regius Professor of Greek, and Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, is to succeed to the Deanery of Peter borough, vacant by the death of the Very Rev. Dr. Kipling. At a congregation on Wednesday last, a grace to the follow ing effect passed the Senate :—" 'to affix the University Seal to a petition for leave to bring a Bill into the House of Lords, c!uring the present Session of Parliament, authorizing the sale and conveyance, by bodies corporate and persons by Law disabled to sell, of ground, for the enlargement of the Public Library, for new Liccture Rooms, and for the erection of an Astronomical Observatory, and of a Museum fur the preservation of the pictures, books and other articles bequeathed to the University by Richard, late Lord Viscount Fitzwilliam." At the same Congregation Matthew Robinson, of Caius College, was admitted Bachelor of Arts. The Lord Bishop of Lincoln purposes holding an ordina tion at Easter.—Candidates are desired to send their papers to his Lordship, at ißuckden Palace, on or before the 10th of March. The Rev. Samuel King, M.A. of Queen's College, was on the Ist inst. collated to the Rectory of the free chapel of East manstead Latimer, in the county of Bue:s, on the presentation of the Right Hon. Lord George H. A. Cavendish. Mr. CANNING arrived at Gloucester Lodge on Tuesday night from We'beck., pe:•fectly reco vered. Mr. COUTTS, we are happy to state, passed a good night, and was better yesterday. IRISH PRIEST.—An Irish peasant complained to the catholic priest of his parish, that some person had stolen his best pig, and supplicated his reverence to help him to the discovery of the thief. The priest promised him his best endeavours, and his inquiries soon leading him to a pretty correct guess as to the offender, he took the following amusing method of bringing the matter home to him. Next Sunday, after the service of the day, he called out with a loud voice, fixing his eyes on the suspected individual, " who stole Pat Doolan's pig ?" There was a long pausr, and no answer ; he did not expect that there would be any, and descended from the pulpit without saying a word more. A second Sunday arriving without the pig being restored, his reverence again looking stedfastly at the stubborn purloiner, and throwing a deep note of anger into the tone of his voice, repeated the question, " who. stole Pat Doolan's pig ? I say, who stole poor Pat Doolan's pig ?" Still there was no answer, and the question was left, as before, to work its effect in secret on the conscience of the guilty individual. The hardihood of the offender, however, exceeded all the honest priest's calcu lations. A third Sunday arrived and Pat Doolan was still without his pig. Some stronger mea sure now became necessary. After service was performed, his Reverence dropping the ques tion of " Who stole I'at Doolan's pig ?" but still without direcly accusing any one of the theft, reproachfully exclaimed, " Jimmie Do ran, Jimmie Doran ! you treat me with con tempt." Jimmie Doran hung down his head, and next morning the pig was found at the door of Pat Doolan's cabin. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. The Earl and Countess Cowper, from their seat, Pansanger, Herts ; the Hon.

Gore Langton, Esq. in Grosvenor-square, Wm. Langton, Esq. (son and heir of the Hon. Member), to Miss Collins, the only child of Henry. Powell Collins, Esq. of Hatch Court, Somerset, late , lumber for Taunton.

The en tertainment, if it can be styled by so humble a name, consisted of the Oratorio of CREATION, the most sublime work of its celebrated composer HAYDN. This grand composition was divided into three parts. There was a select and res pectable band of Instrumental Performers. Messrs. KILLNER, LYON, ROBERTS, MULLINE and Mr. NEWTON, with Miss PATON, Miss WOOD, and Miss RounuTs, formed the vocal department. Miss ROBERTS is not a profes sional Performer, but possesses talents which others se would soon raise her into fiublic favour. The whole of the Oratorio was supported with correctness and powerful effect. Between the acts, refreshments were plentifully provided, and the whole concluded with an elegant cold colla tion. Mr. NEWTON'S Picture Gallery afforded much pleasure to the company during the inter vals, and that pleasure was much heightened by the assiduous attention of the liberal host and his sister. The whole-length Portrait cf His MAJI . STY, painted by Sir TitomAs LAWRENCE, for his Holi ness the POPE, has been sent to the venerabi? Pontiff, and in every point of graphic exce:lence it will stand a comparison with the most cele brated works of the old Masters. SWINDLING.—A person calling himself Capt. GRANT, the master of a ship, lately committed several frauds upon various tradesm e n i n th e fol lowing manner :--A fter ordering a certain quan tity of goods to he packed,read y to he sent on board his vessel at any time he may send his men for them, he requests the vender to meet him on the Exchange, with the difference of a MI. or 20. f. note, according to the amount of goods ordered, always taking care to have 61. or 71. to receive. On the attendance of the parties, he proceeds up stairs with them to the Captain's room, at Lloyd's, and requests them to give him the change and wait in the passage while he goes in for the note. While the poor dupe is thus waiting his return, he proceeds out at the other door, and has hither to got clear off with his ill-gotten booty. One poor tradesman who was lately so defrauded bad employed extra men to complete the " Captain's" order, and had even borrowed the change which he had requested might be brought with the receipt.
