PR IV ATE BUSINESS—Motion made. and Question proposed,
and Debate thereupon adjourned till Monday next :
" That the present distribution of Counties for the purpose
.of forming Committees on Private Bills, propared under the
tlirection of the Speaker some years ago, has, front the great
inequality of the numbers of Members contained in each List,
and from other causes, been found ill suited to the object for
• which it was framed.

That, with a view more nearly to equalize numbers, and
to correct too strong a prevalence of local interests on Commit-
tees on Private Bills, it is expedient that a new distribution of
Counties should be made, containing in each List, as nearly as
fliay be, 120 Members; one half only, or thereabouts, to be
taken from the County immediately connected with the object
of the Bill, and the adjoining Counties, and the other half
front other Counties of Great Britain and Ireland ; and that
the Members serving for such Counties should constitute the
Committee on each Bill.

" That Mr. Speaker be requested to direct a new distribu-
tion of Counties to be prepared, in such manner as shall be
approved of by him, conformably to the principle of the fore-
going Resolution.
"That, where any party interested in a Private Bill shall,
previous to notice being given of the sitting of the Committee,
petition that such Committee may be still further limited, and
the House shall grant the prayer, by referring such Petition
.10 the Committee on the Bill, the Clerk of the Private Bill
Office shall make an entry of the same in his Register, and
shall forthwith notify the same to the Member who may have
been ordered to prepare and bring in the Bill, who shall there-
upon lodge a Notice in the Private Bill Office that he will at-
tend in the Committee Clerks' Office at some hour not later
than three or the clock on the day preceeding the day ap-
pointed for the sitting of the Committee; and the parties in-
terested being then anti there assembled shall be considered as
two parties only, the promoters of the Bill being one, anti all
opponents of the Bill who may have petitioned against the
same being another; and they shall in the presence of the
Member entrusted with the management of the Bill select one
Alember on each side, who shall be at liberty on their behalf
to reduce the List, by alternately striking out the names of
Members, not exceeding fifteen Members on each side; such
list, so reduced, to be signed by the Mernber who may have
been ordered to prepare and bring in the Bill, and to be kept
by the Committee Clerk, and to constitute the Committee on
tie Bill.

That nu Member serving tier any County, City, or Place,
immediately connected with the object of a bill, shall be liable
to exclusion from the Committee on such Bill.
" That every Committee on a Private Bill be required to re-
port to the House the Bill referred to it, with such alterations
as insy have been made therein."

brings utch %%hich arrived this morning
Or Na ►etters from 'rutin, confirming the taking
varino by the Turks. The Greeks defended

themselves heroically, and destroyed a part of
the Egyptian fleet. The taking of Navarino by
the Turks is attended with -very serious appre-
hensions for the success of the Greeks, as that
place is considered as one of the keys of the
Morea. The Greeks, however, have had several
trifling advantages at sea, but they cannot be
considered as in any way compensating for the
loss of that important fortress. The accounts
given by the Austrian Observer, it seems, may
be relied on. An Ukase allows all foreign Mer-
chants who become Russian subjects and enter into
the first Guild, and to enjoy thereby exemption
from certain imposts in the towns of Odessa and
Theodosia, to have Merchant Ships of their own,
and to use the Russian flag. The Postmasters
in Courland have received orders to send horses
to meet the -EMPEROR on the road to Lithuania.
His MAJEsTy arrived at Riga on the 19th.

There are other letters from Zante this day,
which state that Navarino was obliged to sur-
render on account of a want of provisions, hut
without a contest. They also give but a melan-
choly prospect of Greek affairs. The Chiefs are
divided, and the troops refuse to fight, owing, it is
said, to the following circumstance.:--A person,
who was formerly Ambassador from Turkey to
this country, having joined the Greek cause, and
being a man of great abilities, he was required to
head the troops, but the Greek Chiefs refused to
act under his authority.

The Juliana sloop, one of M r—Gor.nsmiDT's
vessels, is arrived from Vera Cruz, left the Ist May; she brings
favourable accounts from that quarter. Mr. M US E was to
sail on the 2d of May, with the ratification of the Mexican
Treaty, in the Ageria sloop of war, Captain RonEnTs, for
England. The Primrose sloop of war would sail at the same
time, and call at Jamaica. All was quiet at Mexico, and
every thing going on well.

Three cardinal points in adopting commercial
regulations were, in former days, deemed of such
vital importance, that every other consideration
was made to yield before them. These three
cardinal points were-Ist. The navigation sys-
tem. 2d. The encouragement of British shipping.
3d. The encouragement of British seamen. The
result expected from the union of th, se three
points was the naval ascendancy of the United
Kingdom. This line of policy was commenced
in the reign of CIiAItLES the SECOND, and was
not perfected until the 26th GEOItGE 111. Under
it the strength of the country was augmented, her
resources increased, and her superiority amongst
the nations of tl►e Globe asserted and maintained.
This was the primary object of the policy, nor is
it to be imagined that, in steadily pursuing this
primary object, commerce was altogether for-
gotten. On the contrary, the influence of com-
merce was felt, the advantages of extensive
trade acknowledged ; but, at the same time,
it was perceived that trade and commerce
might not only be encouraged, but, by wise
regulations, could be made subservient to
the greater and more important object which the
wisest, the ablest, and the best of our States-
men never lost sight of. The wisdom of these
regulations, the foresight with which they were
adopted, the vigilance witl► which they were
looked to, and the promptitude with which a bud
principle was cut off and a good one promoted,
the manner in which the nicest questions of com-
mercial interests on the one hand, and naval in-
terests on the other, were balanced and adjust-
ed until they became blended, the one restrain-
ing the other, and both growing and increasing
together in equal degree has raised us to the
greatest height of national glory, and made us
at once the admiration and envy of the world.—
The political strength, the great wealth, and
the almost inexhaustible resources that a steady
pursuit of these two objects together had ac-
quired for the United Kingdom in the years
employed in bringing her naval and commer-
cial system to perfection enabled us to sup-
port the late long war, to carry it on with
unexampled vigour, and finally to
.prevail : en-
abled us to support, to carry on, and to prevail
in that war, which, as we then were told, was
necessary to preserve our commerce and political
existence, and which was undertaken by him
whose footsteps the present Administration pro-
fess to follow. That system, which for twenty
long years, we fought to maintain, that sys-
tem that BUoNAPARTE for twenty long years
in vain endeavoured to overthrow, has been
overthrown in one short Session by Mr. HUSICI3-
som, and who is to be rewarded for his pains by
the thanks—of the Merchants—and presents of
silver plate. Thus then we have been shackled
with taxes and loaded with debts, our fathers
slain, and our children sent to perish by the

sword, disease, and fatigue, in foreign lands, to
preserve a system-that was. not worth keeping, to
spill their precious blood, as they thought, iu the
service of their country, but as the event has
proved only to add to the laurels of Britain, with-
out producing one single benefit for the country
they loved, or for mankind in general. Since the
Peace, the navigation system has been abandoned.
The difference between the imposts on goods im-
ported in Bridelt ships and those imported in fo-
reign ships has been in some instances taken
away, and in others greatly reclined ; and, as if
not contented with this, which was extinguishing
some of the most important privileges of British
ships, Mr. II usKtssoN now employs his baneful
atsd. pernicious influence to infringe the pro-
vi;7tins of the Ship Registry Act, and the
British Seamen Act ; and in the House of
Commons, last night, thus consummated his
glory by the laying the foundation for the ruin
of his country. What is the object ? the putting
down of combinations, and so effectual does he
consider this measure that every branch of trade
is threatened with a similar decree if they persist
in their present unions. Is it right to put
the great Interests of the country at large thus
in opposition to the partial interests of one body
of men ? is it right we say, thus to bring them
into collision, and endanger the safety of the
whole to punish the perverseness of a few ? And
yet the whole House of Commons could find but
one man, one single individual, to stand up
and protest against a measure so ruinous,
and so impolitic. As for the ravings of other
Honourable Gentlemen, who not beinv,, ship-
builders, might deem it expedient to permit
ships to be built for British merchants in fo
reign ports, they are not worthy of observation.
The statements made by the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER which were received with cheers,
are all very good until the other side is seen.
But a little observation will shew their fal-
lacy. In the first place, then, the observations
of Mr. RonewrioN only applied to ships em-
p;oyed in the foreign trade; those of the CI:A .
CELLoa of the ExcitEQUElt to the ships employed
in the foreign trade, the colonial trade, and the
coasting trade. Besides the,. objection is not so
much that British shipping has decreas:id, but that
foreign shipping in the British ports has iii-
creased in a very large proportion. The Dum-
ber of British and Foreign Ships that entered
the British ports in the years ending sth Ja-
nuary 1823, 21, 25, stood thus :

1823. 1321. MI%
British Ships - - 11,037 11,271 11.713

Foreign Ships - 3,389 4,0(39 5,8.53
Taking then only the last year, 1825, the in-
crease in British shipping was only 462, whilst
that in foreign ships was 1,581. Will the Gen-
tlemen of. the House of Commons cheer that

COPENHAGEN, JUNE H.—The Baltic Com-
pany has obtained a Royal Charter for 20 years.
The Company is allowed to tl,ke 5 per Cent.
interest instead of 4, and it has received his M.t-
aEs•rr's assurance that, in case of war, the pro-
perty of foreigners, &c. confided to the Company
and the ships addressed to it, shall be exempt
from confiscation and condemnation,and the sutns
to be paid to the shareholders shall be free from
seguest ration or discount.
BALLooN AscENT.-,—Yestorday Mr. GitAnim,
the aeronaut, made his `kith ascent from the gardens of White
Conduit House, Pentonville, accompanied by Mr. Adams and
Sir. Deane. The ascent took place about half-past six o'clock,
at which time there was little or no air stirring, and in conse-
quence the Balloon (taking an easterly direction) remained in
sight for nearly an hour. When it disappeared it was evidently
descending. The number of spectators was less than on former
occasions. The aeronauts, after a pleasant voyage, descended
at NVanstead, in Essex, about seven miles from town, from
whence they arrived at Mr. Graham's residence in Poland-street
about half-past eleven. •
At Exmouth, a young gentleman, on being
saved from drowning, whilst bathing at that place on Monday
last, ',resented his preserver with a—six-pence.

Su nuEN DE: rn.—About two o'clock yesterday
afternoon, as Mr. BultuoYNE (formerly a re-
spectable biscuit-baker in New-street, Covent-
garden), who lodged at the house of Mr. Stewart,
a printer, in Eagle-court, Strand, knocked at the
door of the house, he fell down and instantly ex-
ex pi red. Medical aid was promptly called in to
his assistance, but the vital spark was gone for
ever. What adds to this sudden visitation of
Providence is, that about half an hour afterwards
Mr. Stewart was carried home from his office in
an almost hopeless state, having had a severe
apoplectic fit ; hut having been bled, put to bed,
and restoratives applied, it is hoped that he
will recover. Mr. Burgoyne, it is believed,died
from the bursting of a blood vessel.
DREADFUL A cc' DENT.—Yesterday evening Mr.
FEATHERSTONE, a broker, residing at Chelsea,
was unfortunately killed by the overturning of a
coach near Battersea-bridge, the coachman also
was suddenly thrown from his box, and in con-
sequence of the injury he received, he is not ex-
pected to survive,
