The following American Papers arrived this Morning to the 19th May—Boston to the 13th, and New York to the 9th May. ( From the Nen.- York Gazette, of 9th May.) Saturday night being the last night of the pre, • sent Session of Congress in which Bills could Pass the House, was a very busy day ; both Houses sat till nearly midnight.

It now `lPPears .that the President, having nominated Co lonel TowsF.N to be Colonel of the 2d Regi i'lent of Artillery, 'and Colonel ,GADSDEN to be Ad j u tant -General, the Senate refused to confirm ti. € l :l, as having been illegally and improperly Made, and the President withdrew the nornina- tion, Afterwards the President sent a Message t 0 the Senate, stating at large his views of the qurstion in dispute, and re-nominated those 0111- cer s• The Senate, after 17 days' deliberation, rlegatived both nominations, 25 to 17, and or dered all the proceedings on the subject to be Fad e public.

PITT. Such a re th e sent i ments of our countrymen, as PITT awls are incrensing throughout the YAnpire, and his Birth-day is the subject of their annual celebra tion. The Parent PITT CLUB we consider as the rallying point for all the friends of our Establish ment in Church and State, and therefore heakily do we wish that it will illustrate the motto— ESTO PEItPETUA. SALT TAX, consequence of Salt being duty free, will in six years create a balance of trade of 500,0001. a year in our favour. The wealth of a country depends on this ; for if the balances of trade be in our favour, the exchanges will be so also. The aggregate balances in the year 1791 or 1792, in our favour, of all the commerce of Great Britain, was a trifle less than 1,503,000/. a year, and the balance of trade in our favour will be a third of this sum by abolishing the Salt Tax. For the sake of this two shillings a bushel tax on Salt, which tax is only to produce the sum of 200,0001. a year, a sum of 400,0001. a year is to he paid for *pearl-ash, pot-ash, ba rilla, and saltpetre ; therefore any tax on Salt acts as a bounty to foreigners, checks our own industry, awl is the same as if 600,0001. a year had been levied on the public, instead of 200,0001., the produce of this tax. What an advantage it will be to our fisheries to abolish the Salt Tax entirely, except on exportation to foreign ports, which tax ought to be heavy, as every grain of Salt in the United Kingdom will be wanted for our own manufactories and fisheries. " An alkali can be obtained from Salt, which will render the importation of the above named articles unnecessary. CHINA.—It is, we understand, stated in some of the recent letters from China, that the only mode by which the Chinese Government was likely to be influenced was by an intimation that the Company's Officers were not warranted in giving up voluntarily the individuals claimed by them, as having obeyed the command of their Superior Officer in firing on the Natives on shore, and therefore that they must refer to the Autho rities in India and in England ; but the general feeling was that the Chinese would never be brought to a proper understanding of the reci procal rights of independent countries until a BRITISH ARMY presented itself on the Chinese Frontier, and then, and not until then, will they spew a proper respect to the subjects of those countries which are disposed to trade with them. On Sunday Mr. FINESSY, Extra Messenger, arrived in town with dispatches from Vienna. Yesterday morning,at ten o'clock, his MAJ ESTY left town in his travelling carriage for Kew, where his MAJESTY spent the day. The Bill for the admission of Roman Catholic Peers into the Upper House of Parliament, which was to have come on to-morrow evening, will, it is understood, be put off, on account of the do mestic calamity of Earl GREY, by whom it should have been moved. It is generally calculated that a majority, amounting some say to 30, others to 50, will defeat the Bill. At the head of these, it is understood, is his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK. The KING himself is said to be fa vourable to the measure.—(Morning Paper.) The British sloop of war Carnation is stated to have recently arrived at Port-au-Prince, St. Domingo, from Jamaica, with dispatches for President Bo YER, which were immediately for warded to him at the Cape, under a❑ escort of dragoons. Sir THOMAS BRISBANE and family arrived on the 7th of November at Sydney, New South • Wales. Governor MACQUARRIE had taken his passage for Europe in another vessel, which was to sail early in January. The Deputation from the London Missionary Society to the South Sea Islands, with additional missionaries, sent out in the Tuscan in May last, arrived at Otaheite on the 27th of September, after a fine voyage of four months and nine days. The letter alluded to in the Morning Chronicle from Bruges, respecting the noted Mr. FLETCHER, must have been misquoted. The name of the in dividual intended to have been referred to must have been Mr. ECUs, NOT Mr. Er.LicE ; but we agree with an Evening Paper of yesterday, that Mr. ELLICE IS not going to India with Mr. CAN NING, however well qualified and calculated Mr. ELLIS may be for that office. Allusions have often been made on this subject, as to Mr. CAN NING'S acquaintance with individuals connected with Mr. FLETCHER, but WE do NOT give any credit whatever to any of them: KING CHARLES THE SECOND. - - ' Yesterday being the anniversary of this Sovereign's Restoration, the occasion was observed with all the customary ceremonies. The military wore oak leaves in their hats ; and at one o'clock the Park and Tower guns were fired. EDWARD JERNINGHAM, Eso.—We lament to announce the death of EDWARD JEIININGHAM, Esq brother of Sir GEORGE JERNINGIIAM, Bart. many years Secretary to the English Catholic Board. He was a most excellent and amiable gentleman, beloved and esteemed by all who knew him. He attended the House of Commons on the. second reading of Mr. CANNING'S Roman Catholic Peers' Bill, on Friday fortnight. Ile was then in good health and spirits, but was taken ill on the following day, being attacked with crysi_ pelas. The melancholy event took place yesterday at an early hour, at his house in Bolton-row. • We understand that on Saturday, Mr. STUART was served with an indictment to stand trial before the High Court of Justiciary, on Monday the 10th of June, for being a principal in the duel in whichSiTALEXANDEIt BOSWELL was shot.—( Edinburgh Courant, May 27.) The diminishing the Salt Tax to two shillings a bushel is a great relief to the poor, &c., but there is no reason, because other nations have a Salt Tax, that we should have one also ; for at present barilla, pot-ash, pearl-ash, and saltpetre are imported at a great expellee; but if the Salt Tax were totally abolished, those articies would soon cease to be imparted, and the sum saved from this, together with increased exportation, in FOR THE SUN. IRISH DRESS BALI, A DISINTERESTED FRIEND to the IRISH. Millet's Hotel, May 29, 1822. LAWYERS IN PARLIAMENT. It is no uncommon thing'to hear it asserted in conversation that there are too many Lawyers in the British House of Com mons, and some of the thorough-bred croakers do not scruple to mention this circumstance as one of the indications of a bad system. That there is a superabundance of " men of the law" • in our national assembly is assumed, not proved, by these pessimists. But without entering into this question, let us see how republican America is situated in this respsct. We find from the thllowing statement that more than half the Mem bers of the House of Representatives are Lawyers : [From the National Intelligenoer.] CONGRESS.—Sorne time ago a wish was expressed by a brother editor to know in w h at proportion 'Congress was , com - . posed of the different professions of life. By the politeness of a friend in Congress, we have been furnished with the follow ing statement, which is presumed to be accurate:— In the House of Representatives of the United States, there are, it is stated_ Lawyers - - - 97 Physicians - - Farmers and Planters - :39 Manufacturers Merchants - - - 13 Clergyman fra............ ......_ G- I- ItAMPUS IosPITAL SHIP.—A few days ago Viscount ExMount - , accompanied by some other distinguished characters, went on board the Grampus Hospital SSip, lately established by voluntary subscription, for the reception of sick and diseased Seamen in the Port of London. Previous to leaving the vessel, his Lordship entered the following Memorandum in the Journal : In the course of my nautical life, I have been no where " more gratified than by my visit to this Floating Hospital, " flowing from individ ua l lib era li ty. Th e comforts afforded, " and the cleanliness of all the ship, have given nia great and " solid satisfaction." Great regret is felt by the Shipping Interest, 'or the indisposition of Mr. SYKES, M. P. for lull, which prevents his attendance at the House of Commons this evening on the debate of Mr. WALLAcc's Bills for the repeal of the Naviga tion Laws. The Ship-owners, aware of the talents of Mr. SYKES, and his correct view of this subject, relied on his opposition to this im politic measure, and lament that they are de prived of his support on this important occasion; for the more they reflect on all Mr. WALLACE'S Bills, except that part of them which simplifies and renders more simple and intelligible the law on this subject—the more they are con vinced that the practical result of these INNO VATIONS in our MAllyrimE Institutions will prove ruinous to the Country, and depress its Naval Power. THE THEAT/tE.—The profits of the perform ances at Covent-garden Theatre were last night liberally appropriated by the Proprietors for the benefit of THE WESTERN PHILANTHROPIC IN STITUTION. The play was Rob Rog, and the afterpiece Cherry and Fair Star. The house was well attended , the audience seemed to en joy pleasure animated by benevolence, and the Performers appeared to derive more gratification from their own feelings in support of so laudable a purpose, than from any applause which their talents could excite. HENRY HARitts, EsQ.—All alarm respecting this Gentleman is at an end. It appears that the very extraordinary advetisements and placards that were issued were the unfortunate result of a family difference. It is always with reg re t th a t we not i ce t h e ru mours of th e day which in any degree may affect the characters of individuals,—but so much has been said respecting an arrangement which is sup posed to have taken place between an eminent Jeweller and a recently distinguished Baronet, that we think it proper to say that we .do not believe there is any truth in it whatever. WINDSOR, MAY 30.—The feelings of benevo lence in favour of the Irish Peasantry operate as strongly in this loyal town as in any other part of the Utiited Kingdom. On Saturday next our Theatre is to be opened for their relief, with the tragedy of The Earl of Warwick, which is to he followed with Monsieur Tonson, and to con clude with the farce of High Life below Stairs. Mr. BETTY, who in his early days was celebrated for remarkable precosity of genius, and whose matured powers are well calculated to gratify an audience, comes forward on this laudable occa sion as the hero of the tragedy, and several gen tlemen amateurs, who are animated by the same benevolent spirit, are to assume the other characters in the play and the succeeding en tertainments. It is gratifying to know that amusement on this occasion will be subservient to benevolence, and the same meritorious impulse prevails over this town and neighbourhood, in somuch as to promise ,a more productive result on this classic and loyal ground than may perhaps be expected in any other place of a similar extent. The invidious allusion to " the profound an " thor of the article Jurisprudence, in the Sup " plement . to the Encyclopedia Britannica," is not very creditable to the liberal views of one of our Evening Cotemporaries. We think this at tack on that learned individual was altogether uncalled for, and that the observations in a Morn ing Paper, on the recent judgment of the New Common Serjeant, do not justify the allusion we have mentioned. On Saturday last a dividend was struck at 3s. 4d. in the pound on the estate of Messrs. STEPHEN arid JAMES ROCHE, late Bankers of Cork. The holders of the notes of WARREN and Co., late Bankers of Cork, will be paid a year and a half's interest in the present month.— ( Waterford Mirror.) MR. EDITOR—I have no doubt but that you and your readers will feel as indignant as I do at the conduct of some individuals, who, by some inadvertence or improper influence, have ob tained tickets of admission to the Ball at the King's Theatre to-morrow night, in aid of the fund for the relief of our distressed countrymen in Ireland. These tickets were this day offered for sale at a price considerably beyond twelve guineas a ticket—l hope there is not any truth in this report, but as it passes current at this end of the town, I rely on your impartiality to insert this communication in your Paper.

WORCESTERSHIRE SOCIETY.--The Seventh Anniversary of this charitable Institution was celebrated yester day at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street. Sir Thomas Win nington, Bart. M.P. was in the Chair, supported on the right by Lord Viscount Deerhurst and Sir Roger Gresley, Bart. ; on the left by the Hon. Colonel Lygon, M.P. Colonel Davies, M.P. &c. The object of the Worcestershire Society is to raise a fund, by donations and annual subscriptions, for apprenticing the children of poor Worcestershire Parents resident in London or its vicinty. Although this Charity is professedly confined in its operations, it is still meritorious and deserving of en couragement. The company were hi g hl y respecta bl e, an d , by their liberal subscriptions and hearty commendations, appear ed to enter most cordially into the interests of the Charity.— The King's health, and the usual loyal toasts, were drank with great approbation ; and the Chairman, by his zealous attention, added much to the enjoyment of the evening. This Institution appears to be highly indebted to its worthy Secre tary, Mr. Crane, who to a most liberal subscription adds his valuable exertions. The most interesting part of yesterday's proceedings was the procession round the room of the youths provided for by the Institution. Their looks spoke their grati tude ; their appearance told the benefits they had received at the hands of the Society.—We sincerely hope that it will pros. per, and have pleasure in announcing, that Sir Roger Gresley, Bart. has consented to take the chair next year, and that the list of Stewards is most respectable. The evening was spent in great conviviality, and the company did not - separate until a late hour. Yesterday the Prince and Princess of DENMARK paid a visit to the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, where they were received by Sir Barry Calvert, the Lieutenant-Governor, and con ducted through the various departments of the establishment, which, on account of its being the anniversary of the Founder, were seen to the greatest advantage. The Prince and Princess afterwards visited the Royal Military Asylum, and appeared highly gratified at the appearance of the children, who are supported and educated in that highly-meritorious Institution. t s• mk,',o- • 4:&;) „(111 seuth • P 0 E T It Y.

SPORTING EXTRAORDINAR T.-----A novel race took place on Monday afternoon. Precisely at five o'clock, an eight-oared galley, containing eight picked watermen, started from the centre arch of Vauxhall Bridge, to row to the Red House at Battersea, against a Gentleman of sporting celebrity, mounted on a fine blood hunter, who started from the Pimlico side of the bridge, crossed and took the Nine Elms road. The race was won by the horse beating the boat one minute and a half. The tide ws.a running strong up, and the wind blew in the opposite direction, otherwise it is sup posed the waterinen would have been successful. The wager was for a considerable sum. The Gentlemen of the Funny Club were out, and the River was covered with boats. Green peas were very plentiful in Plymouth market last week, and sold at Bd. per gallon. Yesterday a female, residing in Greenhill rents, Smithfield, met with an accident. As she was reaching out of the two-pair window, she overbalanced herself aad was precipitated out. She alighted upon the roof of the kitchen of Clement's eating-house, which gave way, and let the greatest part of her body through, but she suspended her self by her arms. The cook, at that moment busily engaged in takizT up the dinner, was not a little alarmed at this n.. ceremonious and singular intrusion. Finding, however, that her aerial visiter remained stationary, she called for assist ance, and the good woman was soon extricated from her awk ward situation. What is remarkable, the only injury she ex perienced was a slight contusion on the elbow; had she but fallen a few feet farther she must have been precipitated through An Irish wit, who was stinted by his physi- a sky-light into a copper of boiling water. clan to a pint of wine, being reproached with drinking four Att Egyptian mummy, forfeited for the non.. bottles of claret, and bid to stick to his allowance, replied, `• So of duties, was sold at th e C us t om -h ouse , So I do; my pint of Madeira is my salary, and the rest is • my perquisite."

MAIDSTONE, MAY 27.—Our hop plantations have assumed different appearances during the last week ; at the early part the bine upon the strong lands grew very fast, but now it has a very languid appearance ; the weak bine has grown also, but it remains yellow and unkindly. In many situations the fly are excessively thick, and in every situation the increase is considerable; they have deposited their lice, and thereby laid the foundation for the subsequent mischief. The white mould, at places, has already made its appearance, which, we much fear, will be found a fatal malady : we have remarked, that when this disease shews itself early, that it generally proves very destructive.—( Maidstone Journal. ) THE ROTUNDA AT WooLivtcit.—This is the name generally given to a new building which has been lately erected westward of the Artillery Barracks, and which at a distance has the appearance o f a l arge pav ili on, with• a conical roof. The wall is of brick ; and the covering is the same that had been formed for a similar building, intended to have been constructed about eight years ago in Saint James's Park, near Carlton Palace, when the Foreign Sovereigns were abcut to visit this country. The building is polygonal, hut nearly circular; it is about 400 feet in circumference ; the inside consists only of a single room, and the purpose to which it is applied renders it an object not only of curiosity, but of the highest national interest. In tlis 'lace is deposited an immense collection of fine models formed exactly in imitation of all the implements required for every de partment of the Naval and Military Service ; and in the pro portion of one inch to forty feet. There are exact plans of the dock-yards of Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Chatham. There is also an exact representation cut in wood of the strong and extensive fortress of Fort William in Bengal, in the erection of which no less than two millions sterling were expended. Another of the city fortifications, and tuhurbs of Quebec, including the spot wh:re General Wolfe was killed, and a grand model of the rock. town, and batteries of Gil riltar. The ships are exhibited in all their stages of building, from the laying down of the keel, to that state in which they are fit to be launched. There is even a section of the inside of a ship, re presenting the uses to which the several decks may be con verted, the places where horses are kept, with the figures of horses feeding at their stalls, and the manner of conveying them on board. Every thing required in the Ordnance service is here to be seen in an improved state ; such as guns for firing over walls, while the men who work them are protected against an enemy ; bombs, mortars, howitzers, Congreve rockets, pul leys with incre:sed powers, for lifting guns upon carriages, and newly invented cubical boxes for holding carriages, instead of the casks that have hitherto been in use. The machines by which timber, after being boile I, is bent into any firm that may be required for the building of ships, are finely and. accurately represented ; together with the pieces of wood en which they have been made to act. There are innumerable assortments of fire-arms, swords, pikes, &c. and all the models are so judiciously disposed and separated, that people can view them one after another in the most distinct and satisfactory manner. Mr. WALLACK.—An American Paper has the following paragraph : " We have before us a letter from Mr. WALLacx, dated New York, in which he mentions that he is to perform the character of Captain Bertram (a lame Officer) on Monday next. Anxious to see a Philadelphia audience again, and to take a public farewell, it is his intention to visit this city, and give a series of readings and recitations, on Monday evening the 13th. He will sail for. England ea the 16th inst."—(Phila.. delphia Gazette.)
