MOTIONS.

- -
I.
FOr a return of all the pensioners of Chelsea and Green-
wich, blind of only one eye.—('lE3l. Such persons deserve not,
pensions; any clever fellow, like myself, for instance, can see
well enough with half an eye.)
2. For a return of ditto, pensioners who have lost both eyes;
specifying those who may be stout and healthy enough to go a.
begging.
3. For a return of ditto, pensioners who have one wooden
leg; for a correct estimate of the wear and tearof wooden legs
and for an accurate estimate of the national saving that wool&
accrue as to shoes, buckles, stockings,
_garters, and soap, pro-
vided the other' leg was cut off, and wooden ones substituted.—
(M EM. Not to be disconcerted should the-Noble Marquis desig-
nate this ass plan to strengthen the OPPOSITION, by increas-
ing the number of those who have not a leg to stand upon.
4. For a return from THE VICTUALLING OrFicE‘of aIT
the cheeses that have been purchased for the use of the naval
service during the last thirty years ; specifying the number that
may have received damage, whilst in store, from rats, mice, or
mites ; with a distinct estimate of the daMage done by each;
and the number of depredations in each class:—(MEAr. If Ike
Noble ,Marquis say any thing about SAILPSON, not to mind
his jaw.)

5: F(.l- a return of all the rs and Ts used in all the official
correspondence of all the public offices, with a correct estimate
of the INK. and Time that might be saved by an Act of Par-
liament forbidding- the use of all DOTS and TOP-CROSSES, is
future.—(fllEm. Should this Inc laughed at, then to inquire
whether SOMEBODY might not be feund who would under-
tAke to conduct THAT PART of the Government offichd.du-
ties FOR HALF PRICE).
6. For a correct return of all those who may have offered
their services to Ministers during the last twenty years ; and
who, being rejected by an imbecile, improvident, and extra,-
vagant Government, have thus been forced to beeome patriots,
to the great damage and detriment of the Country, in the ex-
pences of printing papers, making returns, wearing out the
patience of Honourable Members, and burning out the oil,
gas, and candles of the public in this Chapel of St. Stephens ;
to say nothing of the damage done to the floor of the same,
by the oscilkatory, demi-rotatory pervagation of the heels of
Honourable Nernbers.,--(MEN. Should this motion pass, then
to insert a clause for an estimate of what was done before the
invention of ifon heels and since also for an accurate calcula-
tion of what has been specifically done, since I became a Mem-
ber of this Honourable House.)

STATE OF IRELAND.

An Hon. MemBER (whose name could not be learnt)
begged to inquire of the Right Hon:. Secretary of State for
the Home Department, whether it was the intention of his.
Majesty's Ministers to bring the state-of Irelandunder ate con.-
sideratiou of the frouse -with a view to discovering and re-
medying the caries of the evils with which she was afflicted,
before the Holidays.
Mr. PEKL spoke in a tone of voice not distinctly audible in
the gallery, but he was understood to answer in the affir-
mative., •

The Honourable Member before alluded to then observed,
that he was one of those who had supported the late measures
against Ireland, in the expectation that 110- ',rievanees would
be early inquired into, and certainly if his Majesty's Minis:-
ters•did not bring the question forward, he Should fed himself
called upon to do so.
PROMISSORY NOTES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, in an-
swer to a question, that,.according to his impression of the
two Ac's of the 36th and 59th George 111., relative to the re-
sumps of Cash Payments, the issue of romissory Bank-ofi.
E,ogland Notes not exceeding five pounds value must expire
on the Ist tray, 1825. fie had not., met with any one who
expressed any doubt of the correctness of this interpretation
sif the former Act, which limited the issue to two years after
the Resumption of Cash Payments.
A new Writ was ordered fur Drogheda, in place of-,
Berigough, Esq.-deceased.'

Si: T CE 11-iI3 RI DGE asked of the Chancellor of the Ex,
chequer if hs could give Lim any information as to the plan.
City of Countiy Bank paper in circulation

The CHANCELLOR 'of the EXCHEQUER said, that as
no returns of this nature were made to any-public office, he
could not gii.e an official answer to the Hon. Member's ques-
tion ;-but as far as his information on the subject went, and
from a reference to the Stamp Office, he was.akle to state that
a considerable diminution in quantity in circulation had lately
taken place.

4.10.1tT11 FRIDAY, AUG. 16.—An alte-
ratiOn haibesen-inade with respect to the funeral
since yesterday. The ceremony of interment
will not take place till Tuesday next, and the
lying ill state will be altogether dispensed with.
The body will, be removed in a private hearse, in
the night of Monday, to the house in St. James's-
square, and from thence the funeral procession will
set forward for Westminster Abbey at 8 o'clock on
1 oesday morning. Many of the Nobility have sent
It°tice of their intention of following the procession.
Several
applications have been made for permis-
:l°ll to take a cast from• the late Marquis's couti-
ieinaoce,• but they have been refused. Indeed
'ere is no occasion for such an unpleasant pro-
tiSs to obtain a likeness, as Chantry has some
• ie since executed several busts of him in mar-
bir
'e ;. and they are all esteemed admirable like-
nesses. Yesterday evening the 'Marchioness, after
°nulling herself to her bedchamber for four days,
Is• Prevailed upon to quit it and to take a little
4etzercise -in the open air: She was supported by
41d9 Suffield, and walked in the shrubberies stir-
1.
°"ding the house far nearly half an hour. This
• Itnortiing Mr. Mares, the King's Messenger, arrived
rorn•tondon with letters for Earl Clanwitliam,
statuig that the Duke of Wellington had set- out
"LS return to this • country the moment he was
T2rnied of his Lordship's death, and that -he
• sur'ght be expected at North Cray in the course
°' the afternoon ; but up to half past seven o'clock
(11 the evenina he had not arrived.—lt has been
tQnbted whether the Marchioness will continue
° reside at North Cray—many persons consider-
ig it probable that, connected as it is with the
tate :shocking event, she will abandon it for
then' but we have been given to understand
i ather Ladyship has no such intention. It
us said, indeed, that since the death of her Lord,
trlP°4 the 'possibility of her quitting being casually
t er;tioned in. her presence, she expressed herself
° the following effect :—" It is here I have spent
softie of the .Happiest hours of my life ; it is here I
Yaw Londonderry for the last time ; and it is here
beef best cherish his memory. I have net
accessary to his death, and why should I
benkiive the place we both loved so well ?"--.-The

STANZAS for the KING'S LANDING in SCOTLAND.
The eagle screams upon. Benmore,
The wild deer bound. 4 on Cheviot fell ;
Step boldly, KING, on Albyn's shore,
Son of her Lords, she greets thee well. •
The voice that bath been silehtiong,
Awakes to harbinger thy path ;
Once more she weaves the ancestral-song,
Once more 'tis " RIGH GU BRAT'S." •
•
From grey Dun Edin's castle crest,
Float, float, thou Royal Banner wide,
Gleam, gleam more radiant thari`the rest,
Dear emblem of old Albyn's pride !
Glow, ruddy lion, as of yore •
It was thy wont, on fields of wrath,
To brighten 'midst the kindling roar
Of Canmore's " RIMS GU BRAT'S."
Beam, beam, as when our hero's cry
Dissolved thy slumber of despair,
• And rais'd thee, sunlike from our sky
The cloud of slavery to scare. -
Aye—as from out the dark Torwood,
The stranger saw thy blazon shine,
When WAenacE steeped the folds in blood,
And flung them from the pine.
High sign ! as when the coming galley
Of BRUCE displayed thee o'er the prow, • -
_ And on indignant hill and valley,
Roused Carrick spear and Arran bow.
Beam now ;—or as, when calm and stem,
He fixed thee in yon sacred stone,
tteslung the mace for Bannockburn,
And bade the trump be blown. •
- No, sacred symbol, float as free—
As bright be thy majestic glance,—
. But gentle all thy splendour be.;
No terror tinge the cogtiizance !
• Beam softly, star of chivalry,
As when proud Windsor's exile came •
To bless, on Scottish tower and tree,
The welcome of thy flame.
Or beam, (but bar each worser omen,)
• As when the lillied bark drew nigh,
And courteous knights and stalwart yeomen
Knelt here—even heree'neath MaitY's eye.
The feudal rage, the zealot gloom,
That quencli'd the day of that fair morn,
Lie chained together in the tomb
Of unrelenting scorn.
Another dawn, I scarce may name,
Saw thee, for princely greeting, glow,
In evil hour a wanderer came,
For once thou wert the sign of woe ;
Yet then, even then, there was no shame
To stamp the stain of tears and blood, .
And generous memory mourns to blame
The errors of the good.
Float fairly from Dun Edin's brow,
Primeval pennon of his Fathers—
Nor tears nor blood shall stain thee now,— .
No gloom around thy blazon gathers.
From Saxon firm and fiery Gael, -
From moor and mart, from cot and hall,
One voice—one heart--goes forth', to hail - •
The KIN c.—the SIRE of All !
Though with the Scottish stream he met
The blood of Kings that were not mine,
Though D'EsTE and PLANTAUENET
Have blended with the BRUCE'S line,-
The spirit of departed time : .
Is in the song that meets thy path,
And lifts once more in Albyn's clinic
The shout of "RIGA cu BRATII."
The crown that circled BRUCE'S helm,
Once more the Douoiss'_hand shall raise;
The sword that rescued Bite CE'S realm
Be guarded by the DE LA HAYES.
The children of the heath and yew
Conic harnessed down from glen and strath,
Plant o'er their crests the White and Blue,
And swell the " RIGA Ull BRATH."

GREEK ANTIQUITIES.

A—learned and ingeßious Work has been re-
cently published. at Paris, by. M. Raoul—lto-
CIIETTE, on the interesting subject of the Greek
Antiquities of the Cimmerian Bosphorus.
Of all the countries formerly covered with free
Greek towns or rich Coloniesj'aurica Chersonesus,
the Crimea of our days, deserves the particular
notice of the historian. There, at the-confines
of the known Greek world, on the banks of those
vast basins to which the Dniester, the Bog, the
Borystlienesrthe Don; and the Kuban, bring the
tribute of their waters, stood in former times ele-
gant habitations, rich temples, and magnificent
monuments. During the tide of a long. course of
prosperity, opulent towns, such as Olbia, Theo-
dosia, Chersonesus, Panticapvea, Tanais, and
Phanagoria, witnessed the arrival into their ports
of numerous fleets from the Piraeus ; the kings
of Bosphorus dignified themselves with the title
of citizens of Athens; and we learn from a speech
of Dinarchus that at the. foot of the Acropolis,
in the public square, statues, were raised by the
Athenians in honour of these Princes. .Yet, not-
withstanding marbles, inscriptions, and medals,
in great numbers, many of them of the most
elegant workmanship, attest the antient splen-
dour of Taurica Chersonesus, it was only at a
very recent period that this country. began to
attract the notice of antiquaries.

Painful reflections arise in the mind on examin-
ing the antient monuments published by M. Raoul-

[BRITISH PRESS.]

The Paris Papers of Saturday report the conti-
nued, proceedings before the Assize Court in the
affair of the Rochelle conspiracy. Harshness to-
wards the accused of the most gross and disgusting
nature, amounting almost to injustice, distinguishes
the conduct of the President of the Court, and
perhaps accounts for the rudeness and intemperate
conduct of some of the prisoners. The advocates
too display in the conduct of this case an extraor-
dinary Want of propriety. It happened that one of
the prisoners, in explanation of a charge that was
urged against him by the President,stated that Gen.
Despinois had told him he incurred no danger in
announcing himself a Carbonaro, for that he (the
General) himself was one, and had resolved upon
,leading an insurrection at Nantes. Here certainly
was a serious accusation against General Despi-
nois, but the allegation, however improbable, was
within the range of possibility, and might at all
events have been made the subject of further in-
quiry, if it were only for the purpose of ascer-
taining the degree of credit which should
be attached to the further statements of the ac-
cused. No sooner, however, had the sentence
been uttered than the President fiercely rebuked
1 the prisoner for having dared to utter such a
slander against " a General of France." The
man repeated his assertion, and was again re-
proached for falsehood. The Counsel for the ac-
cused very naturally observed that the statement
might possibly be true, and added, that " they
had known some Generals of France faithful
to their honour, while others had betrayed it."—
The remark was at all events founded on truth,
.and seems to have been in its nature extremely
innocent,. but it had the effect of exciting all
•the indignation of the virtuous President and
of the King's Advocate-General, and even, as
we are told, of the body of Advocates present;

and they were all with one accord actually about
to apply to the offending Counsel the penalties of
the crime of slander, for having by implication
defamed General Despinois ; but they were at
length, and with some difficulty, pacified by his
submission. The apparent object of a public
trial in France upon a criminal charge, is to en-
trap the prisoner into some admissions, which, by
the ingenuity not of the Advocates alone, but
even of the Judges, may be construed into a
confession of guilt. With this view the accused
are examined in private by different persons at
different times, and every apparent inconsistency
that may be discovered in their several state-
ments is carefully marshalled against them.—
They are tampered with by various persons who
affect a power to discharge them, and under pro-
mises of favour they are tempted severally to
make statements which may tend to criminate
others, and all these statements, thus made under
threats and promises, are urged as good evidence
against the parties whom they seem to affect.

. .
[MORNING POST.]
'ln the House of Commons, last night, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer unfolded his plan
for the reduction of the Five per Cents., the de-
tills'of which have already been laid before onr
reltders.• if e stated.that the amount of the Bonus
wOuld•add seven millions to the National-Debt,
but that, notwithstanding this increase, the public
would be benefited to the extent which had been
originally announced. Mr. Ellice and Mr. Ma-
berley objected to the brevity of the time which
was allowed to the holders of Five per Cent.
Annuities to express their assent or dissent to- the
measure, and wished that it should be lengthen-
ed from the 16th to the last day of March. The
original resolutions, however, were passed with-
out any division, and in a Committee on the An-
nual Malt Duty, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
afterwards fulfilled his promise of reducing that
Tax one shilling per bushel.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FED. 25.
JONES V. WETHERELL.
This action was brought by Mi. Jones, the Marshal of the
King's Bench prison, to recover 4811. which he was obliged to
pay the creditors of a Mr. Crosby, who escaped from the Rules
of the said prison. It appeared that Mr. Crosby beizg de-
tained within the walls of the King's Bench, applied to
General Wetherell to become his security for the Rules.
The General accordingly wrote a letter to the Marshal, on
the 26th of March, and consented to sign a security bond, any
day after the following Friday. The letter was sent from Ken-
sington Palace, where the defendant was attached to the
Household of the Duke of Kent. Mr. Jones, satisfied with the
undertaking, did not send the bond to be executed, arid on the
16th of May, he received a second letter from the General, stat-
ing that he did not consider himself bound for Mr. Crosby, as
the Marshal had not called upon him to sign the bond. M:.
Jones then sent to take Mr. Crosby into close custody, but that
Gentleman had escaped. Diligence was used to retake hint,
but without success. The Jury, under all the circumstances,
fcund without hesitation a verdict for the plaintiff, damages
four hundred and eighty-one pounds.

PITT q"i tam V. ALSOP,
This was a penal action against the defendant for alleged
bribery at the last election for Camelford, which Mr. Alsop
represents in Parliament. An endeavour was made to prove
that COOOl. was lodged in the hands of a Mi. Ballet, for the
purpose of bribing the electors of Camelford, but the plaintiff
failed in proving his case : no connection whatever was proved
between Mr. Alsop and Mr. Ballet, and the Jury, without the
least hesitation, found a verdict for the defendant.

FIRE AT ST. THOMAS'S TIOSPITAL.—AbOtit
half-past one yesterday morning, a fire broke out
in this most excellent public institution, which
at one time threatened destruction to the south-
west wing, where it appeared. It commenced iiL
the upper floor, which is used as a drying-room
for the clothes of the establishment. Immedi-
ately under this room is a ward for females,
known by the name of the Queen's Ward, and
considerable apprehension was for a time enter-
tained for the safety of the patients lodged there-
in ; but we are glad to say that they were re-
moved with all the speed and safety consistent
with their situation, the hour of the night, and
the alarming cause of their removal. It is not
yet ascertained how the fire commenced. We
are happy to state that no lives were lost, al-
though considerable damage has been done to
some parts of the building.

[FROM ‘‘ THE CORY *MERCANTILE CHRONICLE,"• FEB. 5:211

ILECEIVED THIS DAY.I,

CnnoNrcLE OFPICC, SIX o'Cy.ocx.—This day the Court
was occupied'in the trill of Denis Nloynahan, John Rclehan,
Cornelius Relehan, John Mahony, and Daniel, Brien, for the
attack op the Barrack, and the murcirrofthe Police of Church-
town.

After a trial which occupied the entire day, the Jury,. retired;
and after an absence of two hours, have this moment. returned a
Verdict of Gizi!ty against Cornelius Relehan, John Mahonv..
and Daniel Brien, and acquitted the other two persons.
Their Lordships, during the absence of the Jury,pronounced
sentence of death on the TEN men convicted for theafrair st
Carriganinitni ; on the TWELVE taken at the mountain of
Deshure ; the THREZ at Newmarket; and two at, 0001g,ca ;.
the two for swearing Mr. Nl‘Carthy's serr•.anta; the man for:
the attack on the house of the Rev. Mr. Kirchhoifet ; Matthew
Connell, for the attack on. Hobbs's. house, and taking away,
arms ; Carthy, for maltreating the keeper near Einsale. No.
days were named for the execution of they 'persons.
A selection, it was stated from the Bench, was intended to be.
made from these persons. for the clemency of Government,
which was entirely to depend on the• future. disposition and con-_
duct of the peasantry of the county.
Three others who he.4l been recommended by the Jury who
tried them to. the mercy of the Court, were. promised the hu-
mane intervention of their hordshipsin their behalf.
When the Jury, who had retired on the persons for the al.;
fair of Churchtown, gave in their verdict, Mr. Justice Moore
proceeded to pronounce the awful sentence of the law upon
them, by which they were ordered for execution on MondaY,
their bodies to be given for dissection to the Co. Infirmary.
The sentencing so many individuals to death produced a vary.
sensible feeling in the minda of the numbers Who filled the,
Court, which was considerably increased by the impressive and:-
solemn manner in which their Lordships addressed the valor-.
tunate culprits.

BRIGHTON, FEB. 24.—The KING and the Prin-
cess Augusta, Royal suite and household, at-
tended Divine Service to-day in his Majesty's
private chapel. The chapel was crowded with
Nobility, Stc. admitted by tickets.—The Lord
Chancellor arrived at the Pavilion in the after-
noon of yesterday, in time to have the honour of
dining with his Majesty and suite.
THE THEATRE.—The Veteran is not likely to
be disbanded.. The new comic opera of that name
was repeated last night at Drury-Lane Theatre,
and with confirmed- success. A piece of this des-
Option, if it does not offer high pretensions in
point of dramatic excellence, should meet with
encouragement on the score of its • moral ten-
dency. The sentiments, as we before ob-
served, are calculated to excite benevolent feel-
ings, and to impress the principles of moral
duty. These are important purposes, and reach
far beyond the gratification of temporary mirth.
The dialogue has been shortened, and some of
What are styled clap-traps were omitted. The
performers all exerted themselves with effective
zeal and spirit. We should have mentioned Miss
POYEY before. She supports her 'part with af-
fecting simplicity, and sings with great sweet-
ness and taste. But no wonder, as she received
instructions from MARA, during her last visit to
this country. If she retains them, she will set
an example to her competitors which may trend
to the improvement of vocal music.
A dreadful fire broke out in the Orphan Asylum at Phi,
ladelphia, in the night of the 23d of January, when the build-
ing was entirely destroyed. It is feared that a number of the
little innocents perished in the flames, as twenty-three of
them were missing. A Sleeting of the Citizens was held on
the following day to adopt measures for the comfort and pro-
tection of the orphans deprived by this calamity of the borne
which this chartable Institution had provideo.

SPORTING PIGEON MATCH.
It has been stated that a Mr. Goff, who won the silver cup
last Wednesday, by killing 17 birds from 18, matched himself
for 200 guineas, to kill 13 birds from 20, from a trap 21 yards
front the gun, and a boundary of 100 yards for the bird to fall
within. He made the undertaking agreeable to the match
yesterday morning, on the Cobham inclosures, and the gun
was backed to. kill at 4 to 1 each shot ; and 7 to 4 that Mr.
Golf lost the match. The first bird fell at about eighty yards
'froth the gun, heavily hit, but on Mr. Golf going after it, it
made another rise, and fluttered ten yards out of bounds and
was lost. Betting was 3 and 4to 1 against the shots, but Mr.
0. killed eleven birds successively, and betting was reduced
to 2to 1. He missed the thirteenth and the sixteenth birds,
and the 19th and 20th, killing 16 birds only.

A Wand Match of Pigeon shooting took place on Thurs-
day, in a field adjoining Shirley Common.—'l here were sonic
good shots by IV. Thomas, Thomas, J. Paine, bans-
down, T. North, Coulson, and Hind the latter two shewed
off their double shots, and grassed their birds in style.—
The party retired from the field, " expanding with honour,"
to partake of a substantial dinner, provided at NI r. %V. Thomas's,
Lord Nelson, at Hill, to which they sat down with keen appe-
tites, and each,one " did the honour of the house." During
the match, a man named Roweliffe was shot in the head, but
nothing serious is apprehended.

month, No. 359, the Minister of th Interior to nlake.

FOR COLDS, COUGHS, ASTHMAS, &c.

THE PECTORAL ELIXIR. Experience
during a very long period, has,incontestildy proved
the superior ethicacy of this Medicine, in. all of Colds,
Coughs, and Asthmatic Affections, By promoting gentle
expectoration, it very shortly relieves the Patient of a slight
or recent Cold, and a few doses_are generally sufficient to
remove those Which neglect has rendered more confirmed and
obstinate, and which are accoMpanied with Cough, Spitting
of Blood, and other serious symptoms. Its peculiar balsamic
powers tend to lieM soreness, and allay the irritation of the
lungs, in cases of Cough -; and in Asthmatic Affections it as-
sits and gives freedom to the Breath.
