THE ARMY.

A detachment of the 11th Light Dragoons,
consisting of 80 men and one officer, left our
Cavalry Depot on Wednesday last for Graves-
end; and on Thursday morning embarkeA on
board the Dorsetshire East Indiaman, for 'Cal-
cutta. This morning another detachmont of the
same Regiment, consisting of 70 men and one
officer, will leave here for the same place;
and will embark on hoard the General Hewitt
East Indiarncn, for the same destination.—
Captain VitriTE superintends their embarkation.
—The depot of the lath Lancers is ordered
from Romford to Maidstone, where it is expected
to arrive this day (Tuesday).—Five of the sol-
diers belonging to our Cavalry depot have,
with a generosity which redounds to their
credit, vcluntarily subscribed the sum of sixty-
pounds towards the Fund now raising for the
distressed Irish, being their share of a sei-
zure of contraband spirits,made'by them a short
time since, at CoKheath. This sum has been
forwarded to the General Committee- by the
Commandant Ccl. Sir Jams BrtowNE. A com-
pany of the Royal Staff Corps arrived in this
town, on Friday, from llythe, and on Saturday,
marched for Deptford, where they are to em-
bark on board the Thames transport for Quebec.

CITY, TUESDAY Eyrie'Na.
Much amusement has been afforcitd to -the City by the pro-
ceedings in the House of Commons last night, on that profound
piece of human wisdom, called the new Corn Bill, or rather
• the Act whiCh can benefit no body, and will consequently deal
out equal justice to all. The clause for grinding foreign
grain has been rejected without the smallest reason, for lia-I
it ever come into operation, it would truly have tended to
• relieve the country from a part of the foreign wheat now
perishing; in the granaries, whilst the inhabitants cf Ire-
land, and the peasantry of Norfolk, Suffolk, and all the agri-
cultural counties are perishing from the want of means to pur-
chase. Its adoption would have relieved a large capital now
• locked up, and likely to become a total loss to the Empire.
Through its operations England could have supplied her own
West India Colonies, Seuth America, and the different Southern
States of Europe on cheaper terms than the United States could
do. It would have employed English capital more profitably
than it is now employed in the Foreign Funded Securities ; it
wowed have Irefitably employed English millers ; it would have
been a good channel for the sale of English 'dry barrels, wh:eli
would have been returned, flied in many instances with cug.rs,
both colonial and foreign ; it would have employe:\ many
English coopers, a class of men now suffering much, and it
would have given a small export freight to many shies
chartered for a home voyage, but which from tin! de.
pressed state of commerce are at resent generally obliged to
run out in ballast. This was a valuable clause in the Bill--
much good would have resulted from it, and that it could in the
slightest degreehave done injury to the British farmers, none
acquainted with the Corn trade will for a moment allow.
Nothing but the profound wisdom of a certain Assembly have
found out that the proprietors of fine Polish wheat would, after
converting their property into flour -under a heavy bond to ex-
port it, have exchanged this flour for that produced from in-
ferior English wheat. It required all the penetration of this
body to imagine that it could be for the advantage ofmercharits
to sell their fine flour made from Polish wheat at home, and to
send inferior flour to the West Indies, made from damaged
English wheat. Any gentleman connected with the Victual..
ling,-Office could have given them information respecting
flour made from British wheat, by referring to the daily
complaints received from the West ^lndies against the con-
tract flour sent out during the last season. No Merchant
would send to a warm climate any flour but what was
manufactured from the best and the soundest materials ; said
there was not the silightest ground on the part of the Agricul-
turists, presuming that they have a right and a monopoly to
charge the people with a higher price for the neceseeries of life
than they can obtain them for from ether quarters, to conceive
that it could be for the interest of the foreign merchant te
practise any deception in the exportation of flour to a warm cli-
mate. It is well enough known what quantity 100 quarters
of high mixt Dantzic wheat should produce in flour ; and the
excellent system now in force respecting. bonded !millings.
precludes any person, who knows any tning of the matter,
nom supposing that any part of this flour could have beee
smuggled into home-consumption. The Customheuse-offictss
would have taken care that the full quantity of flour should
be exported, end the interest of the Merchant would -have'
induced him to take equal care that the flour should be of
the best quality. By the rejection of this dense, an ex-
portation of foreign produce, manufactured by British 'sheer..
is prevented. The proprietor of foreign wheat is forced to
hold it until it probably become a total loss. Millers are de-
prived of the liberty to work for which distant states would
pay ; 100,000 hogsheads, had the clause been adopted, weuld
have produced 30,0001. to the trade of coopers immeedete-
ly, and eventually probably ten times that amount. Every ship
chartered home from the Colonies would have received an out.
ward freight; in short the permission to grind foreign wheat
is of such deep importance to the interest of the State, that tue
mercantile interest expect some influential Member will brhig
forward a distinct Bill on the subject. A plan, in profundity le
no manner inferior to the self-borrowing one f Mr. Vansittert,
was proposed by the Most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry,
his Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
and Colonel of the Derry Militia. To his Lordship's in-
ventive mind the proprietors of foreign wheat are deeply
indebted ; for even in their dreams they never could have eta.-
c.eived the idea of sending wheat to Holland at an expence of
13. ei. a quarter for shippingcherg,es, 3s. H. a quarter for freght
landing expences in Holland Is. 6d. Grinding expence svoni:a
be the same in both countries, only Dutchmen would get 1-ne
productive labour in place of Englishmen. Then the same
expences back to England, amounting in all to 13s. a Taarter.
Trsde at the present moment cannct afford such a sacrifice. it
is only legitimate Governments that can act with such az-able:a'
disregard cf all calculation.—This was a holiday at the Barre.

[THE Tunc,•:.]
The presentation of Petitions last night in the
house of Commons against the remaining, or
-what may perhaps be more properly called the I
new salt-duty, led to the discussion of the tax
generally. There were some opinions that were
novel in themselves ; others that were rendered
striking by the quarters from whence they sprang.
One Hon. Member professed boldly, and in
gallant defiance of vulgar prejudices, that he
would vote for the total repeal of the salt-duty,
if it were proposed by Ministers ; and that he
would vote against it, if proposed by an oppo-
nent of Ministers. This is good logic : Right is
right, if it comes from the men in power ; but
right is wrong, when recommended by those out
of power ; and, by the same rule, wrong is
right, if those who are under authority so
say. These are the dialectics, however, of
which the nation complains, and which, it
is asserted, have brought it into its present
state. Anciently, Parliaments used to con-
trol Ministers. Here it is averred that Par-
liament should follow Ministers, and adapt
its convictions to their prescriptions; at least
there is one member who avows his determination
to do so.—Mr. Wodehouse considered the pre-
sent as a new tax, and expressed a very just
opinion that this is no time for the imposition of
new taxes. had Hon. entlemen maintained
this same doctrine when three millions of new
taxes were imposed since the war—when ten
thousand men were added to the army—when
all the Windsor extravagances passed the House
—an establishment for the good old unconscious
•' King—an establishment for his Queen—ten
thousand a year to the Duke of York for merely
visiting his afflicted Father ;—had Hon. Gentle-
men, we say, held those same opinions some five
or six years ago, when the above cruel iniquities
were sanctioned,—had they held them from
choice, instead of necessity, the situation of the
country would not have been such as it, is. It is
only through " wilful waste that we are now
suffering woful want." " Wilful waste," says
the sensible proverb," brings woful want."

[NEW TIMES.I
We have again the painful task of calling at-
tention to the sufferings of the Irish Poor. Their
situation becomes more and more afflicting ; and
Lothitrg but the most general and earnest efforts
cf beneficence can he of any avail in affording
even such temporary relief as may in 'some mea-
sure alleviate the dreadful misery which now op-
presses so large a portion of the population. The
accounts in the Newspapers continue to be of the
same character as those we have already pre-

sented, with only this unfortunate difference,
that all the circumstances which before excited
compassion appear now in a yet more lamentable
shape ; and in addition we learn that the fever
has broken out in several places, and that this
disease threatens to sweep away those who have

resisted the enfeebling influence of want. In
order that these representations may not be
supposed to be exaggerated, we think it pro-
per to mention, that the statements of the
public prints are fully substantiated by the
reports received by the Committee at the City
..of London Tavern. Among the letters read yes-
terday, we understand there was one from a Re-
- verend Prelate, who is most active in the work of
charity, to a friend, iu which his Grace uses the
following expressions :—" The smallest sum or
aid is of use in these times of sad and frightful
visitation. Notwithstanding all that is doing, I
fear \ many thoUsands must perish from actual
_hugger. I set out to-morrow, please God, to vi-
sit the most distressed parts of the county of
Mayo. lam frightened at the appalling scenes
and sickness ; but I will live with the famishing
and diseased during the summer, and I trust that
the Lord in his mercy will put a period to this
bitter visitation."

{MORNING CHRONICLE."
We received the Paris Papers of Sunday laA
night by express. They contain extracts from
the ..41gemeine Zeitung, a paper, of which the
intelligence from the East has generally been
good,_ affording particulars of the naval victory
gained by the Greeks, which seems to be now
placed beyond doubt. They contain also the me-
lancholy details of Turkish atrocities, for many
of which we are afraid England must be held
responsible. Ten thousand women and children
were, it is said, lately sold as slaves at 10 and 15
iiiaitres a head'. What a howl would have been set
upif as many hundred negroes had been disposed
of in the same manner.—God forbid that we
should think lightly of the traffic in slaves
whether black or white ; but we cannot cer-
tainly think, because nature has been lavish- to
one race in the endowments both of body and
mind, while to the other, she has denied both
beauty and genius, 'that, therefore, the former
may be wronged, and the latter may not. The
English Government is now upholding the system
which produces the white slave trade in the East,
and • affecting great indignation that it should
be carried on by other Powers in the West.—lt
would seem that the insurrection in the North of
Spain is.nearly put down; -and the French Ultra
Pars, hold a much less confident language. We
leaink -from them,- that the. refugees in France,
wko'have refused an amnesty, are waiting for a
faVOurable opportunity to re-enter, Spain. And
yet the Cordon Sanitaire has not in view the en-
couragement of revolt 1.

[MORNING HERALD.]
. The intelligence in, Sunday's Paris Papers
from the north of Europe is pacific, but still in-
decisive. The Ultra journals represent the state
of Spain as desperate—the King refusing to
return to Madkid, the Constitutionalists gaining
advantages over the 'Royalist insurgents—btit
the latter still numerous, and rallying after
their defeat, either within the Spanish territory,
or fro.m France, within whose frontier they take
refuge:. 'The " liberal " papers, on the other
