THE WEST INDIA COLONIES. —• This
morning a very numerous meeting of West India planters,
mortgagees, and others interested in Colonial property,
was held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street,
for the purpose of hearing the report of the Committee of
Deputies read, which, as far as it went, seemed to be
satisfactory ; but,
after a lengthened discussion, some re-
solutions in reference to ulterior proceedings were adopted,
and the meeting adjourned.

THE BOURBONS.—A fatality resembling
that which pursued the unfortunate family of the house of
STUART seems to be attached to the BOURBONS, and origi-
nating in the same cause—a mental weakness, which leads
its members to yield to the baneful influence of designing
favourites. The unfortunate CHARLES X. has just fur-
nished a new proof of this, by sacrificing Monsieur
de BARANDE, the enlightened and liberal minded pre-
ceptor of the Due de BORDEAUX, to the intrigues
of the Jesuitical triumvirate--BLAcAs, Maims, and
SATIL—a trio, who have retrograded instead of
having advanced with the march of intellect, and who
have replaced Monsieur de Barande by the Pere Deplace,
a Jesuit, and professor at St. Acheul. The whole of the
royalist party in France are in despair at this measure, as
the acquirements, general knowledge, and liberal princi-
ples of De Barande had gained the confidence and respect
of all well-wishers to the family of Bourbon, who felt
confident that under such tuition this promising youth

policy by which he lost a kingdom, now leads him to
disable him from possessing one ; as modern France
will reject a pupil of the wily Jesuits, who are, and with
just cause, held in abhorrence by all the sensible part of
the nation. It is melancholy to see this infatuated old
man, not content with having ruined himself and his son,
now perpetuating the ruin of his grandson—the last hope
of the royalists—by placing hint in the hands of the very
party that France forced him to banish. There are not
three men more justly odious to the whole notion than
BLACAS, DASIAS, and SATIL, the triumvirate who govern
the weak-minded CHARLES X ; and to whose intrigues

HIS PRESENT MAJESTY AND THE TURF.—
Some amusing anecdotes are on record touching the rather
incongruous association of our sailor King with the Turf,
one of which we will venture to repeat. Previously to the
first appearance of the Royal stud in the name of WILLIAM
IV., the trainer had an audience of his MAJESTY, and
humbly requested to he informed what horses it was the
Royal pleasure should be sent down ? 4, Send the whole
squad," said the KING ; " wine of them, I suppose, will
win."... Quarterly Review.

THIS DAY, MONDAY, JULY 22.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
At the usual hour of opening the gallery, we found about
forty Members in the House.
Sir E. CODRINGTON presented a petition from the,
Watennen and other inhabitants of the towns of Gravesena,

and Milton, complaining of the injury already occasioned °
the putting up of the temporary pier, and praying for the inter'
position of the House. The Hon. and Gallant Member a
ported the prayer of the petition.
Mr. WILKS presented a petition from the classical and theO'
logical tutors and students of Stepney College, praying for the
adoption of an improved registration of births, and complaining
that the rites of sepulture were refused to the infant children'(
Baptists, by clergymen of the Church of England. Of
lion. Member enumerated many grievances which (1311'
arose out of the present system. He also presented a pet'
tion from the Protestant Dissenting Congregation of
Chapel, Liverpool, praying for a reformation in the Chao
of England.

Mr. INGHAM presented a petition from Westoe, flea!
Shields, against the Vesting of Tenements Bill ; and a pet"
tion from the Churchwardens and other Inhabitants of Southt
Shields, praying that merchant seamen may no longer be calle4
upon to contribute sixpence per month out of their wage'
for the maintenance of Greenwich Hospital, from whence'
in cases of sickness or disablement, they were not entitled
to receive any relief or assistance. The Honourable
Member condemned the injustice of this impost, which tool'
from the most distressed class of his Majesty's subjects—(Bear,
hear)—about '25,000/. a year. With equal justice, he said,
Mr. Telford, Mr. Rennie, Mr. Macneill, or any other eminent
engineer, be called upon to contribute to the half-pay of the
artillery. He hoped the Hon. Member for the city of London
would persevere in his intention of bringing the matter uncle
the consideration of that House.
Mr. LYALL expressed his determination to do so at the
earliest period.

Captain DUNDAS said whenever the matter came before
the House it should have his most decided opposition, because'
he knew the money would not go to the benefit of the searneit.
Mr. LYALL assured the Gallant Member that he waii quite
mistaken; not a shilling of the money would go otherwise 00
into the pockets of the seamen.

Mr. WILKS begged to inquire if it was the intention of the
Hon. Member for the city of London to combine with his We'
tion a general review of the maritime regulations of the
country ?
Mr. LYALL said the matter was one of much impottancer
and he was not prepared to say that he should go the length
contemplated by the Hon. Member.

Mr. WILKS said it was the universal opinion of all will'
whom lie had conversed, and in particular of two Gallant .0
mirals, whose information on such subjects was dull
prized by the House, that it was absolutely necessary the whole
system of maritime law should undergo revision. The seamen
of this country, upon whom its wealth and glory must depend'
were in such a condition as to demand the most searching an
immediate inquiry.—(Hear, hear.) He should be sorry if the
task would not be undertaken by others ; but if no other.
Hon. Member would make it a subject of legislation, he himself
would bring it before the House in the next session ; and ,
it devolved upon him, he hoped to receive the assistance of
those Hon. Members who had the welfare of the shipping
terest of Great Britain at heart, and that the Admiralty wool'
also lend its powerful aid.

After a few words fromthe SPEAKER and Mr. MIEREROggigi
on a point of order,
Sir M. W. RIDLEY said he could assure the Hon. Id
Gallant Officer opposite (Captain Dundas) that every sixpent4
raised from the merchant seamen of the port of Newcastle W°
distributed among that class of men.
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. LYALL presented a petition from the merchant*
shipowners, and others, in the City of London, ep:"
gaged in the trade with the Brazils, complaining 7,
being prevented from disposing of their sugars,
which there was a large quantity in bond, in eons'
quence of the restrictions against refining them for e%;
portation, and praying to be allowed to import in bon'
refine, and export foreign sugars. The Hon. Member tit
sured the House that the present restrictions were greatly it;
jurious to trade ; and although it was objected that by grantiPs
the prayer or.the petitioners, the West India interests had be°
affected, he contended that no such injury would result.
Mr. N. FELLO WES presented two petitions from places 1°
the Northern division of the county of Devon, praying tbe,
modification of the Tithe Commutation Bill. .
Lord EBRINGTON said he had been requested to sof;
port the petitions, but although he thought the Bill was
so satisfactory as it might be made, he could not concur in **,
the views of the petitioners. His Noble Friend (Lord AlthorP
who had brought in the Bill, had consented to withdraw e,
compulsory part of it, but he (Lord Ebrington) would actrw
the withdrawal of the whole of the measurefor the present 5e:,;
sion, with the view of appointing a Select Committee to inilut.`
into the subject, so that a perfectly safe and satisfactory measn',
might be introduced next session.
Mr. C. M. PHILLIPS presented a petition from Cast
Dorrington, praying (as we understood) for the withdrawal
troops from the West Indies.
Mr. CLAY presented a petition from an individual mull
Henry Dundas Perrott, formerly a Lieutenant in the na°
who complained that he had sustained great injuries.
Mr. LITTLETON interrupted the Hon. Member, and _°/1'
served that it was usual to give notice to his Majesty's te'
vernment in such cases.
Mr. CLAY said he had both spoken and written to the Fi
Lord of the Admiralty, stating his intention to present th,
petition to-day.---(Hear.) The petitioner complained of havie;
been struck off the list of Lieutenants of the', Navy. 111,11
circumstances were these :—ln March, 1812, Lieutenant peas
was convicted at the Maidstone Assizes of a mistle,
meanor in obtaining 201. for having given a protection ..`;
one Bullin, a master mariner. He was convicted, as Pi
affirmed, in consequence of not being permitted to take a at
of the indictment, so that he could not be prepared with Sit`;
messes 1
's:O,A
nesses to rebut the charge. After some months' imprison '
the party on whose evidence the conviction was obtain,.',
died, and consequently a bill of indictment could not be Pthws
ferred against him, and on Lieut. Perrott's applying to t:A
Court of King's Bench, the Judges reversed the sentence 17,
judgment that had been given against him. Upon tto
strength of that judgment the petitioner applied fA
the Admiralty to be restored to the navy, but was told tit
the reversal having proceeded upon technical grounds, his le;
storation could not take place. In July, 1825, he procure"o ,
restoration of a pension of 2s. fid. a day, which he would Int"
been entitled to under the regulations of the service had
been only a Midshipman. The Hon. Member then went on
state, that affidavits were in existence proving positively Od
other persons, who were now dead, were guilty of the forge.,"

attributed to the petitioner, and concluded by trusting that vv
House would consider he had made out a sufficient case for
consideration.
Mr. ABERCROMBY thought the best course for the 14
Member to pursue would be to bring up the petition, and 10
a notice of some specific motion on the subject.
Mr. T. ATTWOOD thought the case of the petitioner tle
of signal hardship, and could not help stating his firm Wilco
to be that the petitioner was the victim of personal malice 0, I
the part of some of the late members of the Board of Admiral:,
Sir E. CODRINGTON supported the prayer of the petitil'
The Gallant Admiral thought if the House looked at the ntlif-
ber of pensions that were given for doing nothing—(Heql
hear)—they would consider it a great disgrace to take fr
this poor man his paltry pittance.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM was sorry the case had been brotifi
before the House, inasmuch as it would render it iMper/t; i.
upon him to make statements that would not;be very plealei
to the feelings of some parties. Up to 1812, he admitted .0
petitioner had conducted himself in the most becoro4l,
manner, and had done a great many gallant actions, d,
:
in that year he had been tried at the Old 80, p
for obtaining money under false pretences from the wife 04
seafaring man named Buller, he having represented to her Pio
he was able, through the instrumentality of some relatiollo
the Admiralty, to relieve her husband from impressment. 4/ ,
was convicted of this, but some objection being taken to 'a,
indictment, that point was reserved for the consideration of
12 Judges, who decided against the validity of the indictslo
and the petitioner obtained a reversal of his sentence oft o
years' imprisonment. In consequence of his conduct, 4$
name had been removed from the Navy tist. In 1823, .p$
petitioner presented a petition to the_ Admiralty Board too;
restored, which was referred to Counsel, who odY5
the Board not to accede to the request of the petitioov ,
The petitioner now stated that he had fresh grounds, bat
(Sir J. Graham) after having given the oubject his best Grill
sideration, felt compelled to come to the conclusion that
spd
petitioner had been guilty of the charge imputed to, hits, ;hill
he, therefore, could not consistently with his duty to the pow
advise the House to accede to the prayer of the petition. of
Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY and Mr. O'Dwita supported
petition.

After the presentation of several other petitions the SP OW
left the Chair.

On Saturday, between twelve and one o'cl°cfr
as a chairmender and his wife were sitting on the Clifirco,
stone of the foot pavement, fronting the house of ,',:(l°
HODSON, landlord of the Champion public-house, in rlos
street, Lisson-grove, repairing some chairs, at the nr,
time a large bundle of rushes, belonging to the Cl':len
mender, was standing erect against the post at the eorLitl
suddenly, to the great astonishment and alarm of the cem
lind woman, they were surrounded by a swarm of il
which kept hovering around them for some moment* oot
then alighted on the top of the rushes. Mr. Musa, 00,
proprietor of the Champion, immediately sent to Poll,
market, and procured a hive, and succeeded in s oil
time in hiving the whole swarm, which is now
possession.
