Peace to each Swain, who rural raptureowns, As soon as past a Toll, and off the stones! Whoie joy, if Buildings solid bliss bestow, ' Cannot, for Miles, an interruption '*know;--. .Save when a gap of some half dozen feet, Just breaks the continuity of street; Where the prig Architect, with style in view, Has dole'd his houses forth, in two by two; And rear'd a Row upon the plan, no doubt, • Of old men's jaws, with every third tooth out. Or where, still greater lengths, in taste, to go, He warps his tenements into a bow; Nails a scant cauv3ss, propt on slight deal sticks, Nick-name'd Veranda, to the first-floor bricks; Before the Wliole, in one snug segment drawn, Claps half a rood of turf he calls a lawn ; • - Then, chuckling at his lath-and-plaster bubble, Dubs it the CRESCENT,—and the rents are double. *** The above whimsical lines on Pastoral Retreats, written by GEORGE COLMAN, Esq., may form a parallel with PAM'S account of TIMON'S splendid Villa.

Behind the temple, which was lately noticed, a public building has been found, built at right angles, 260 Neapolitan palms long, and 120 broad, and surrounded in the inte rior by a portico of 50 columns. It is ornament ed with bLautifill paintings, some of, which are very valuable ; as, among others, one which repre sents a warrior precipitated trom a car drawn by fiery horses, The pavement is a Mosaic, formed in part of small white and coloured stones, and in part of large slabs of marble of various colours. Several inscriptions have been traced that ascer win the use of this monument. One of them Indicates that the right luniinum ,obstruendorum (a right established by the Roman laws, pre venting, in certain cases, neighbouring pro prietors from having lights or prospects over the contiguous estates) had been purchased at the price of several thousand sesterces. This discovery has afforded new riches to sculpture— several statues have been found. A Venus- five palms high, and a Hermaphrodite may be placed among the finest specimens of the Greek chisel that have come doWn to us. Several distinguished Artists think that in this Venus they have discovered one worthy to dispute pre-eminence with the Venus de Medieis. This opinion, inspired perhaps by the pleasure of the disco Very, may be before long dis cusstd, as these precious monuments of sculpture are to be transported to the Mtn& Bourbon. In the saute place have been found two arms of bronze, adorned with bracelets., The Chevalier Ardite, who directs the search, hopes to be env , - bled in a short time to expose the whole extent of Pompeii, which will probably be a mine fruitful in objects of the Fine Arts,--( French Paper.) The Prince Regent gave a dinner to the Duke of Welling ton yesterday, at Carlton House. Among the distinguished characters invited to meet his Grace welt., Prince Esterhasy, the Austrian Ambassador, Baron Fagel, the Ambassador from the Netherlands, and several other' of the - ,Foreign Ambas sadors and, Ministers; the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Westmoreland, Viscount Sidmouth, with others of the Ca binet, &e. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OP LORDS, THURSDAY, MAY the possibility of its. being so misconstrued, for the Magistrates of London, who were supposed to be more enlightened, made such a mistake, w h a t was to be expected from country Magistrates, who were supposed to be 1-ss enlightened. It really seemed as if the effect would be to destroy all tree dom of discussion whatever. • In saying this he did not mean to pledge himself to bring forward such a measure, but he thought from wlika had been dis closed Op this subject, that Parliament must una voidably feel the necessity of passing a Bill to the effect he had described. The Petition was ordered to lie upon the table and the House adjourned till to-tuorrow (this day) HOUSE OP COMMONS. Mr. Sheriff BRYD.GES presented a Petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Coun cil of London, in Common Council assembled, praying for the Suppression of lliiorderly Houses. This Petition was read, and on the motion of Sir JAMES SHAW, was ordered CO be referred to he Committee on the Police of the Metropolis. Sir JAMES SHAW presented a Petition (rum the Inhabitants of the parish of St. Matthew, Friday, street, in the City of London, against the Lou. don Tithe increase Bill, which was Nought up, anti ordered to lie on the table till the second reading of the Bill. Similar Petitions were presented from other Parishes in the City of London, which were dis posed of in the sante way. Mr. SUCLTON presented n copy of the Petition presented by the Academical Society to the Ma gistrates. of London, assembled at the Quarter Sessions, at the Old Bailey.—Ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. On the motion of Mr. lionmsoN, it wns or dered, that to-morrow the [louse should resolve itself into a Committee on the West India Act, and on the Bermuda Trade Act. THE WOOL TRADE. Mr. Buatteo. rose to present a petition from the Wool Growers of Brighton, in Sussex, praying hat the Importation of Foreign Wool might he liscouraged, or some encouragement given to the !;xportatitm of British Wool. tie stated that the irayer of the petition involved a question of the 'Nona importance with reference to the commer cial policy (dam country, and that the reasonable ness of it was shown by the price of British Virool, which, within the last eight years, had fallen 50 per cent. through the quantity of Foreign Wool imported. He also contended, that the revenue was not increased by the importation of Foreign W oo l. The petitioners prayed that an inquiry Might be instituted on the subject, and that they might have an opportunity to substantiate by evi dence the allegations in their petition. He moved flint the petition be brought up. Mr. WESTERN could not refrain from saying a few words on this subject, as he held a similar petition in his hand. The Wool Growei s had a fair claim to the attention of the Hons 6, and he hoped that their case would be particularly considered by the House. The House had, last - year, recog. nixed the distress under which this branch of trade laboured; the countrywas absolutely inundatedwith foreign wool, every facility was given for the int portatirm of foreign wool; every facility to the fo reign wool-grower and the foreign wool- nterchant, white the British wool grower was fettered hi such a way as operated to the great discouragement of this important branch of foreign produce. He therefore thought that the House would neglect its ditty if it did not appoint a Committee to in quire into the laws relative to the importation of foreign wool. But it was more especially neces sary that this should be done, from that which took. place in the Committee appointed jest year to inquire into the causes of the distressed State of agr i cu l t ure, because in that Committee no op 'infirmity was afforded to the wool-growers to come forward to give that evidence of which he wished the House to be in posse s si on . Lord LASCRLLES wished to notice what the tion.Gentleatan who spoke - last had said with re- Sir Edward Oven's Di►orce Bill' was read a 2tl time, and committator ti..morrow.—Th e Win. dow Duty Amendment Bill, the Lite Annuities Bill, a private and a local Bill, were brought tip front the House of Commons by Kr. BannttEN, Col. LYGON, and other Me'nbers, and read x first time. The Land Revenue Bill passed through a Committee, and was reported without amend ment. ACADEMICAL SOCIETY. Earl SPENCER presented a Petition from the Gentle.nen composing the Academical Society in Chancery-lane, complaining of the inconvenience they had sustained by having recently been re fused a license under the Sedifions Meetings Act, at the Sessions in . the Ott Bailey. His Lordship said, he understood these Gentlemen were highly respectable, though be bad no personal know ledge or them. lie proposed that the Petition should be read, and he should then move that it do lie on the table. In confining himself Merely to this motion he was actuated by two reasons; first, •that he was not at present aware in what way the House could redress the grievance com plained of Jutd, secondly, because be did not wish to take the subject out of the hands of any Noble Lord who might already have taken it.— The Petitioners had done him the honour to place their Petition in his hands, and it being worded in a most respectful and proper manner, he felt it his duty to present it. The Petition was then read, describing the ob jects of the Society, and stating the refusal of a License at the City Sessions, as before detailed. Earl SPENCER again urged the respectability of the Petitioners, of which , tram some of the names signed to the Petition, lie had no doubt, observ ing that the interpretation put upon the Act by two Magistrates, was clearly a misconstruction, anti moved that the Petition do lie on the table. The Earl of DARNLEY adverted to what lie had already said upon the subject, and observed, that though be agreed with his Noble Friends as to its runt being obvious what relief the House could give, he still Omit& the question of so much im portance, that an Act ough t t o h e passe d to amend he Seditious Meetings Act, in order to prever Terence to the Committee appointed lost Session. The nut thing (lone by that Committee was to limit its inquiry into the wool trade to the gene ral question of 'agricultural - distress ; and with this view, to confine itself to the state of the wool market, so as to exclude all the qoestious about the preferenc e due to foreign re 001, or the effect produced on the machinery umployed in the woollen manufacture, 911(1 the varioos other ques tions involved in' an extensive general iliq p uiry. The Hon, Gentleman said, that the wo , l-;;rowers had not nu opportunity Of hyin g thedrd before the Committee of la,t. ye.tr ; whereas the fact WAS otherwise!, for that Committee way appoioted before the Easter recess, and when met again after the recess, an opportuoity,wa s given to the wool growers to come forward, but not one Of them appeared. It the Committee now proposed was . 'asked for on, the principle of excluding foreign wool, he should at once dis:tgree from any motion for the appointment of a Committee On any.suclt principle, at such a time. He would disagree from it on this principle —that a duty on the ittp• portation of a raw material, which was wrought up in this country, and w h ich employed the labour and capital of the country, was as much advan tage to the landed interest as could lie received by any forced encouragement of the growth of British wool. Mr. DAVIES GIL/3ERD said, that he also hedts Petition from wool growers ou the South Downs, the prayer of which was the same as that now presented. Although he very much concurred with the Noble Lord who spoke last in his ge.ne ral principles, yet he must agree with the Peti« tioners, that it would he expedient to lay a mo. Berate duty on the importation of the coarser kinds of foreign wool, which could not in any degree affect the manufacturing interest, or the foreign trade. The Petitioners wished, either a duty on the importation of foreign wool, or a bounty on the exportation of foreign wool ; but they, would prefer a tax ou the importation of the foreign produce. Mr.FRANILAND Lewis Whiled to say a few words as to the Committee of last year. He well re membered that the Noble Lord (Lasceltes) had said, that the . Committee could do little more than give a good excuse for not going into the general inquiry. All that the Committee really did, was to make such ti superficial • and general inquiry as enabled them to report to the House, that the agricultural distress was not owing to the state of the wool trade. if any Member of the Committee attempted to put a question to any of the witnesses who appeared before the Committee, which touched the general question, us to the ex pediency of permitting importation, he was ini• mediately stopped. He therefore maintained, that the House was bound to institute a complete inquiry into the state of the wool Inuit., with re ference. to the interests of the British wool grower. Lord LASCELLES explained. Mr. CURWEN thought that it was necessary that an inquiry should be instituted ; but was aware that it would lead to a' very wide investigation, and involve questions of foreign policy of great importance. Mr. SIIIFFNAL observed, that all the petitioners wished for was a fair remuneration, and that they would prefer a tax on the importation Of foreign wool. The petition was then brought up, read, or• tiered to lie on the table, and to be printed. Mr. BURRELL presented a similar petition from the wool-growers of Sussex, which was disposed of in the same / way. Mr. 0. Limantur presented a similar petition from the wont-growers of,Lewes, in Sussex, and Mr. WESTERN one from tie wool-growers of Bs sex, which were both read, ordered to lie on dm table, and to be printed. Lord PALMERSTON postponed the Army Ma.. mates from to-morrow, till Monday next. ROMAN CATHOLIC CLAIMS Mr. GRAVrAN held in his hand a petition frOln he Corporation of'Dablin, which he regretted that most respectable body had not, by availing themselves of an ancient privilege which they claimed, presented to the House by their own Officers, as,it would have r e li eve d hi m f rom what be felt to be a very unpleasant duty. It was the petition of the Corporatioo of Dublin against the Chial9 of the Catholics. As he had the honour to be one of the Representatives of the City of Dublin, he was, in that capacity, instructed to present it ; hut, at the same time, be must con fess that lie totally differed front the sentiments expressed in this petition by his worthy and ho nourable constituents---he differed from them to tally and sincerely. But, as he did not think it his duty to pass any ciriticisms or observations on the petition of the City which he had the honour to represent, he would merely beg leave to lament that the task vas imposed upon him of doing that which he would not presume to condemn. The petition was then brought up, read, Lnd ordered to lie on the table. Sir F. BURDETT MSC to present a petition, praying for Pdrliamentary Reform, from the free holders and othey inhabitants of the borough of St. Eves, in the county of Huntingdon, :and too k the opportuni t y o f say i ng a f ew words in general terms on the corrupt state of the representation, and thepaSsiveness with which , the people hart borne the violent attacks lately made Ott the Con stitution. ~" :able e petition wa reutl, anti ordered to lie On the Sir F. BURDETT said, that he would bring for. ward his motion on the subject of Reform on the first open day after Tuesday the 20th of May. FINANCE REPORT. Mr: DAVIES Oat mar moved that the Order of the Day for n Committee on the first Report of the Select Committee on Finance should be lead, for the purpose of postponing it till to-morrow, which would probably be the most convenient day For discussing it._ Mr. BROUGIIAM wished that it should he past. P a few days, as h e k new there were se veral to take a part in the :r ieh l d Mlnbers anxious dig mission who could not be present to-morrow. Mr. D. Guaiarr said, be only wished to fix the most convenient day. Lord CASTLVIttiAati said, that it Was intended to introduce Bills founded on the Report of the Committee to regulate or abolish the various
