part of the Bridge (louse Committee.
. Mr. DPLON said he was very anxious that the
Omit should not become parties to the building of

the Report which had been read, as in some manner
pledging the. Court to interfere. The paragraph
In which he; alluded was the knowing c " And the
Select Comioittee further reported that

ment for building the new
.bridge."' 'lle should at
at times oppose any motion for the erection of a
utw hridge.
Mr. Jongsatenngly urged the pLoptieby of con-
curring is the Report of the.. Committee, and
congratulated the Court that at the small ex 7
prose of 15,0001. so much would be achieved.
Aldeemen WOOD said he could see no ob-
jection to that portion of the Report which had
been cited by the worthy Menthes (Mr. Dixon).
The Report only permed the course • which had
been, taken on former °cessions: Notice, were
always given, and unless those steps were taken,
it would be in some measure a violation of their
faith with Parliament.

Mr. OLDII4II said, lie felt confident that if the
Court interfered in the balking of • new bridge, it
would be compelled to beer all the expense of the
approaches to the bridge.
The Report was then agreed to.

Mr. Lock moved that it be referred to the Corn-
no the Thames Navigation to inquire «he.
Cher the building of the new bridge will in say
manner injure cr impede the navigation of the
River.

A short discussion ensued on this question, dur-
ing which an amendment was moved, that a' the
Bridge House Committee" be substituted for a' the
Committee on the Thames Navigation," which
amendment was carried, and the motion so amended
spread to.

A Report from the Committee of General Pur-
poses, me the reload of the Bailiff of the Borough
of Sonthwath to ciliations a messing of the inhalit-
tents. upon requisition, to consider of the dismiseal
hob the stray. without trial. of Sir Robert Wilson,
owe of their Members iu Pailiameut. The Re-
pert stated. that in refusing to nit the said meet-
ing the Bailiff was actuated by no improper
motives. more especially Si he conceived that, it
would be an interference with the royal prerogative.
Mr. Jury moved that the Court do agree with
the Committee in the said Report.
Mr. Firest.s said he was ready to acquit the
RAM of .str) corrupt motives, and to admit that

with requisitions of the kind its question.- There
were many instapees 'Amin great danger might

diction of'the Corporation thought fit to let his poli-
tical opinions iWerfere between hint and the people
. within his dietriet, in the discharge of his official
duties. it ems high time for that Court to cell each
officer to acmes, for his coodoct. The Report did
not go far enough into the question, but us it would
serve to mark the jealousy of the Court upon such
subjects, awl the affair was now so long gone by,
perhaps the Court world do well to agree with the

Report.
An adrendMent was however afterwards moved,
" That the Report do lie on the table," which, sfttr

lIIAILCZLOMA, JULY 4.

The surprise envied in Lerida by the ul.luoked-
for entriuce pf the battalion of Tarragona, and
some arrests that hare taken place, hes stifled the
conspiracy in those parte,in which it iasaid mine per-
sons of the Chapter of that city are implicated. The
2d. battelitta of Ferdisan,d VII. which was coming
hither, is gone to replace that of Tarragona at Cer-
vera. The banshee of the Calories, of 700 men,
has landed, sod we daily expect the regiment
*fries, which embarked st Wags, and the 10,000
militia who one destined,for this province. Then
there will danibilem be formed a counter cordon
sintititive, sod moveable columns will be formed io
hairier at once the tranquillity of the country, and
the'destruction of the factious. The light batta.
lieu of Barcelona entered Lerida oo the Id. Our
papers commie serious accounts of actions with the
rebels, but none of much importance. .

MADRID, JULY 11.
The letters and journals from the provinces, re-
ceived to-doy. cersifirm the opinion we have always
had of the good effect which the issue of the affairs
at Madrid could not fail to have on the capital
towns of the provinces, where the force of patriotism
is inextiognishable. At Cordoba, Suborn, and St.
Sebastian, the triumph of the well•disposed in the
hascapital ' been celebrated with every demonstra.
tion of joy. At Marcia there was a geoeral illumi-
nation, and Te Deist was performed.
• MADRID, JULY 16.

Yesterday eveoing some symptoms were obseried
which made it feared that the tranquillity of this
city was going to be disturbed. We (the !agar-
cid) have not been able to discover the circum-
stances which gave- rise to these fears, but they
certainly misted, sod some precautions were taken;
but nothing happened during the night nor to.djy
up to the hoer when we write this.—(Modrid Pa-
pers, Jails le.) -
