LONDON.
WEDNESDAY, Julia 26. 1822.

In the House of Lords last night Lord LIVill•
POOL. in reply to a question from the Marquis of
LANIDOWN, said it was not intended in the course
of the present Session to make any proposition re-
specting the renewal of the Charter of the Book of
England.

The conduct of the LORD ADVOCATS, in his
patronage of the incendiary Scotch Journals; was
brought before the House of Commons last night
by Mr. ABERCROISIT. It appears from the state.
went that the malevolence of parties is no inactive
principle of conduct among our neighbours, nor
does it seem to lag for want either of the ways
and means, or the spur of official intimation.
The LORD ADVOCATE is said to have about eighty
appointments in his patronage, which hive to be
divided occasionally among something less than 200
practitioners. Scotland does not overflow with
briefs, end there is a pfoverbial sagacity of scent
as to emolument, which
.could be trained to the
pursuits of a busy and powerful partisan, with
less cost and hazard than the LORD ADVO-
CATE has risked. It is an awkward station for

a judicial officer to hare his illicit warrant pro-
duced for writings which he is obliged to disavow
the moment be is known to be connected with
them—when he has power and consequence
enough to put ten times the machinery in mo-
tion, if hi, taste and ambition should so tend.
without committing in secret the dignity (it
would not be polite to mention the purity) of
his functions. The Learned Lo►d defended his
conduct, and insisted on it that he had done
nothing but recommend BORTHWICK'S publica-
tion, the Clydesdale Journal, which led to the
meeting of Gentlemen at Edinburgh, who there-
upon resolved to rear up the Beacon under their
own auspices. And so, as Falstaff says of rebel-
lion, the project lay in his way and he found it.
Mr. PEEL assisted the plea of the Learned Lord,
on the ground of his good intentions. Sir JAYS
MACI[III7OIIII supported the motion.
The House went to • division, when there ap-
peared for the motion 95; against it 120 ; majority
■gaiust the motion IS.

sons perished. The following are extracts:—

HAMOUIt, JUNE IS.
Hi. Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
yesterday sent one of hi. Aid-de•Camns to meet
his distinguished visitor the Count of Scsnia. A
company of the guard. was stationed at the Furs..
tenhof, where the Count alighted, who received
him on his arrival with military honours. To-day
the Count dines at Montbrillant with the Duke of
Cambridge. This evening there iv a concert in his
house at Herrenhausen, and it is hoped that we
shall see him to-morrow at the theatre.

STOCKHOLM. JUNE 11.
In the parish of Gruel', iu the.district of Hede-
mack, in Norwity,4 chirelt has been burnt, by
which many persons have come to a melancholy end.
The church was of wood, and smeared over with
tar, so that the whole edifice was in flames io a few
[Mutates. Several hundred persons who were in it
■t the time, rushed to the door, whence a press was
caused which stopped the way. The people then
ran to the windows, and though they were high,
leaped through them, out of the burning building.
The Clergyman, who was in the pulpit, chose this
shorter way, and saved his life by a hazardous leap;
but above 100 persons who could not make their
escape perished in the flames. The fire was caused
by the carelessness of the sexton, an old man who
had not used due caution with the fire kept for light-
iog the tapers on the altar.
The fire which broke out on the 23d May at
Ulcaborg. in Finland, has not only reduced the
whole town to ashes, but totally destroyed the
houses before it and the Custom-houses. Many of
the fire engines were also consumed. Several per•
sons were burnt to death in their houses, and 4,000
people are now wandering about without shelter

and food.
