tot aotaiost C crap!oyment of cliusbing boys.—liwtt and Lid on the
tab_

Mr. Serjeant Owstow moved the order of the day to the further
consideration of the report on the Usury laws Repeal Bill.
Mr. CALC AFT cont.:n(lrd that sufficient time had nut been given
for the consideration of this important question.
Si: 11. I'ARN ELL supported the Bill.
General MITCLIELt. said the object of the Usury Laws was to pre-
vent every knave preying upon fools, and he should therefore nicv!t
that the firtlicr proceedings on the Bill should take place that day
three months.
Lerd CASTLEREACILI thought it would be advisable to postpone
this nic7sure till next Session.
Mr. Serjeaut Owstow expressed his willingness to concur in fLis
suggestion.
Atr. LIARINO said that a Bill on the principles which had been sn
forth by the lion. and Learned Gentleman ttisely regulated ir.
details, be a great advantage to all classes of tradespeople. Ti.,
measure. however, was an important ouc, anti lie aas glad to hour
rh:,t it was to be postponed for the prtse:A.
The Amendment was then put and at,,rce.l to.
General GASCOIONE presented a petition from Liverpool aga:nst
sups ions

the Excise Licences Bill, now before the &tome.
Mr. 11....n0tav contended, that the proposed r,•gulatiuns would
impose an addi:onal burthen on pubhcm:s, contrary to the pledge
pen by the G-..ivernment, that no ucw burthens should be laid upon
any class of subjects.
Mr. CAL v EltT and Mr. PIIOTIIE no E spoke against thc Bill. •
The CHANC-LLOROI the EXCllEgutat wished the publicans to
have a fn.! opportunity of laying their case beore the house; but
whether all their objections could be obviated in the present Session
was, in some degree, doubtful. Ile had had frequent communications
with persons interested, before the resolutions were passed en which
the Bill was founded, and he was led to believe that there could be
no difficulty in the way of the measure.
Mr. SHAW admitted that it was quite fair that the tax en pall-
cans should be regulated by the amount of their business ; but •;) is
was a tax on the poor and not on the rich, for thesesegulation et
they were called, were in fact a tax, which the fhb, whemight chLain
their supplies from the wholesale dealer, would elude, while the po•r
would hare to pay a higher price for be ,r and spit:L., in cut. equt:..c
of the additioml burthen laid on the retailer.
The petition was then laid on the table and onkred to be print, il.
Mr. D. DAVIS presented a similar petition front the publicans
and brewers of Bristol.
Mr. CALYxtur could not help saying, that the Bight lion. Gen-
tleman (the CiraneAtor of the E\cuequer) had not acted with his
usual canuour on the Subject of this utx.—lterul, and laid on tic
table.

General !WWII presented presented a similar petition froze Casa-
btid,;,e.—Laid on the u.ble.
Mr. AUERCROMME has put on' his motion on the Droits of the
Admiralty, till next 5.5...0n.

'1 he report of the Irish Grand Juries Piesentruent lliii was th,n
taken hit° further consiueration.

Ste F. FLoou objected .o tie. Bill, because many of its enactments
were inip.oper, anti they pioposed to mate new offices to the amount
of 16,nuoL a yc. z, at a time wow one half of the popui.twn was
star: ink
Mr. V. FITZGERALD said, he should propose several dames on
the third reading, which would oMiate some objections that had
been urged it.
.Nlr. ABERCROMBIE defended the Bill.
Sir G. limb said the old system had done roach good. though
them were undoubtedly some impertections in it. lle moved an
amendment, that instead of now, the report be taken into ebasidtra-
tion on treat day three mooed!;.
Several Metubers spoke lot and against the Bill; the motion for its
recommitment, slid toe amendment, were withdrawn; and the .Bill
ordered to be reemuntitt.d on Wednesday.

complained of ale conclua of the Treasurer e.f the Navy ; when ti;,
inan hod called on Min -cspecting some prize-money due to hint a, a
sailor, lie (Mr. Rose) went to the agent, and caused the prize-moncy
due to him to be paid. lie then compbilica that the sum of :a. CAL
was kept back. On inquiry it appeared that this seen had been de-
ducted for fees, postage &c. At the sante time Sullivan said lie WAI
defrauded of 4s. and lie wanted to have the agltita Medi:laze. ;
indeed they were pretty well overhaid.d. for he (Mr. Rose) had two
of them now in prison for det'uniciing tailors. In this case, however,
there was no foundation fur any complaint.
The iesolution was agreed to.
The following skims were then voted: —7,t 4-2:. for improving Ito-

ILLNESS OF MR. PONSONBY.

While the gallery of the Homo of Conruons was
cleared, on Monday night, fir a division, (which did
not take place) Mr. Ponsonhy became sndienly ill; but,
us the sci:tare was accom;tanied by a loss of the powers
or siieeelt, his situation was, fir some minutes, unper-
ceived bj the House. When the gallery was re-
opened, General Thornton was en his legs to give
n' 'ice ofa motion. At this moment, several Nlemben,
who were near Mr. l'oosonby, were standing up around
him, and Mr. Abathnot, who probably perceised his
condi:iou, immediately moved un adjournment, which
was carded unanimously. The attention of all the
Members in the House was then directed to Mr.. Pen,.
who was carried, still speechkss, behind the
fiiie;;ker's Chair. lie was there let blood- by. White,
and bled J.:sc.:ly. After this relief, Mr. I'onsonby re-
gained the faculty of utterance, and desired that Dr.
Warren might be sent for. Messengers were diTatched
for the Doctor and for Mr. Tegart, but happily Mr. Pon-
sonby was sawn after able to proceed to one of the
rooms in the lobbe, and finally to leave the House in
the carriage of Earl Grey, who came in great haste
upon the first intelligence of his friend's danger, and
stewed a degree- of interest amounting to cgitation.
All the daubers indeed evinced great anxiety. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer did not go, till he heard,
Mr. Ponsonby had been declared cut of danger by Mr.
White. The Speaker remained in the House, not-
.;:itlistaniing the adjournment. It was impossible fins
pect to have been more fully sl:ewn than it was to
excellent man. _ _

Do :tor liaillie being obliged to leave town for Wind-
sor, at six oc'.ock, to attend the monthly Council on
Cie state cif 11;s Majesty's health, a 3ccontl consulta:ion
was held at five o'clock, when the following report
was made:—

" Mr. Prollisv iv rath:r battu ta-day than he was yestcrday.—
+.

- - -
The attack having been paralytic, his state of health
fluctuated considxrably i?nring the early part of the
week, and on Friday, the physicia., after a costil-
tation, made the fldloiving report :
Mr. Polsonby remAins withrst any alteration fro-n the morn-
ing, but rather better than yesterday."
At eleven o'clock on Friday night Dr. Warren at-
tended, and pronounced him better since his last visit
at five. In the course of the evening Mr. Ponsonby used
his left hand for the first time since his illness, which
is a decided prcof of amendment. Of tile interest
which this excellent man's illne:o.bas excited, some idea
may be Camel from the number of cards left at his
Lome within the last fine days, anwanting to upwards
of one thousand.
. _

SATURIMY.--WC are sorry to fin,: tlftt the Bulle-
tin thi. :norning is less I:won:able than the vu_ :Asuat
7estcrilay. It was as follows:—•' Mr. Ponsonby has
passel a reßtiCiS night, ands r.ut well to day as he
was yesterday..”
A pparan:es yesterday unfavourthle, Dr.
nalIli:: was sent fur. Ile came to town Last night, and
at eleven o'clock lie and Dr. Warren held a consaltutien,
and reported Mr. Ponsonby tbo better than on Satuz•Llay.
We greatly fear that no hopes remain of his recovery.
The distnss of his fa:uiiy may ba easily conceive:l.-
lEs son is hourly expected from Ireland. Earl Grey,
who has been coastant in his attendance, was contined
to his house on Saturday Li illness, occasioned by
anxiety and fatigne, but his Lordship was able to go
cut yesterday, ant remained at Mr. Pousonby's at eleven
'o'clock last night.

CoNsrmary pr Lisa-lx.—A Lisboa ntlil has jest
arrived with communications to the 27th ult. The
examination of the conspirators continued. Some thr-
ther armts had taken place ; and some pe?sorJ, who
had been apprehended by the police were disehar,ml,
after a suitAblo reprimand, for words and conduct that
were considered as tending to sedition, The tribunal
for the trial of the conspirators consists of a chief judge,
four assistants, and a secretur7. About 50 persons are
in custody. It appears tint the desi;,nis of the conspi-
rators ..vere skilfully planned. Four Committees l.ad
been firmed in Lisbon. The princitxdone was in pos-
session of the whole machinery of the plot ; the others
co-operated only with the principal Committee, and
the president of the one immodiutely above and be-
low their ow, in numerical order. \Viten a metnb.m
cf f.oalmitte hall gained three proselytes, he immedi-
ately. became the chief of a new Comteittee, and thus
provision was made far an indefinite extension of the
syttem ant oelegates had been dispatched into the
country. The object of this conspiracy was the de-
tlronement of the reigning fitraily in Portugal. A

pnwissional government was to have been formed; and, !
ultimately, a republican tern of gavernment. For
some time pest maevrares leave been taken to prepare
tie public mind fel- a change in the government The
King, the governors of the kingdom, &e. have been re-
peatedly pasquinaded, particol:'rly on public anniversa-
ries, &c. it was apprehended that on the day of ('or-
pus Christi these revolutionary enterprises would have
been attempted, and many &milks lett Lisbon on that
day ; and the Ratio, instead of being thronged, as usual,
with spectators of the procession, was, comparatively
speaking, abandoned. It was reported that Gomez
Freire D'Andradc was only implicated to the extent of
a misprision of treason. A young officer of the 16th
regiment, who was recently arrested in the country,
shot himself through the body in the chaise in
which he was being conducted to Lisbon : he is not
likely to recover. No confiesiens have been 'made by
him ; but a number of papers, which he had confided
to a young woman to whom he was untie.: an enguge-
meat of marriage, have been secured, and it is said,
their contents furnish much important informations if
the designs of the conspirators.
A Dutch Mail has jest arrived with. Papers to the

Ey the brig Grenada, Capt. Appleton, arrived at
Portsmouth from St. Datningoe we learn, that appre-
hensions are entertained of an attempt to recover the
Colony by France ; 'and I'etion is making-great exer-
tions to resist any such attempt on that part of the
Island under his command. The fesargent privateers
cnntieue their depredations throughout the West In-
without much respect to any lag ; and u report
very prevalent there, that the crew of one or more
British vessels had to n man been masereel by them.

discontent will only vary its direction. On the oth..r

contentment than a reduction in the price of bread, and,
if possible, a; increase of the reity of beer!

On Tuesday evening, alter the amusing drarinee
sketch called ill,, Uncle, the part of Mane/one in Arne's
celebrated Opera cf .1,-karrzcs was sustained by Miss
M. H. noggins, the young Lady who lately•made a
flattering debut h Polly. The whole perfininance was
in a style which reflected the highest credit npon her-
self and instructor (Mr. Horn). She evidently pos-
ses:,es ft:cling, and her voice is both sweet and powerfu::
these, wish the advantage of an excellent ear, must
render Miss B. an acquisition to the noisical world.

The ballet pantomime of Do:: Juan has been revived
for the purpose of re-producing Mr. H. Johnstna in 1

sonilication of the Libertine was extremely good ;
every action and gesture spoke the daring and luxurious
infidel ; though he frequently reminded us of the lat..!
John Palmer. This remark, however, is not in .
Johnson's dispraise.

Montrose, Lord Essex, Lord Harewood, Lady ,Asgil:,

hated to elicit the applause of the audience. On
Friday, Mr. Arnold s highly popular Farce; Free awl
Rasy, was performed, e7!:1 ourselves, .in common with
the public, must acknowledge that this is one of the
most amusing productions ever witnessed at this
Theatre. Last night, Miss M. H: Bugging repeated
3fandane with encreasca success and applause ; and wa.
perceive an enlarged developement of talent from hr.r
great confidence in the business of the•stage.
