:The proceedings of the House of Commons
)iistnight,although involving none of those great
-...lpppular questions which attract general attention,
'vittre not unimportant., The Report of the Agri-
.
- ;altural ComMittee was presented and . ordered
be. printed. A conversation then took place
on, the Tobacco Duties' Bill. As the objections
made to it related to particular points, and not to
the general principle, it N'y as read a second time,
-and the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that i
Abundance of time would be afforded to the trade
-:a examine the measure and suggest improvements.
la reply_ to a question of Mr. H. Sumner, Mr.
Alderman Wood stated, that the Committee on
The State of London Bridge were disposed to
favour the erection of •a new bridge; and he ex-
. pressed an opinion that the present Trustees
.L-raSt have property enough under their_ care to
.ecomplish the desired object withouk the aid of
tiny new. impost. On the mction of Mr. Curwen,
that the Bill for the Repeal of the Agricultural
Horse Duties should be recommitted, the Chan-
cello; of the Exchequer stated, that his Ma-
jesty's Ministers had resolved totow to the de-
cision of the majority of the House,
.and not to
offer any further opposition to the repeal. Mr.
Birch inquired, whether any new tax was to be
substituted, and the Marquess of Londonderry
informed the• House, that no such equivalent was
,qontemplated, but expressed a hope that, if any
drfclency should hereafter be found in the Re
venue, it would not be forgotten'
,that this tax
van now given up, after his Majesty's Ministers
bad been for several years making every exertion
in the way of retrenchment, consistent with the
national credit and dignity. It was determined
tklat the operation of the Bill should commence
frai the sth of July.

131011:SING HERALD.]
We yesterday received Friday's Paris Papers.
There are accounts to the Sth from Spain. Hu-
' crtanity shudders at the barbarous conflict between,
theinsurgent Priest Merino and General Empe
cinado. The General denounces a horrible re-
ze.liation upon the kindred of Merino and his
band for the inhuman murder of seven soldiers
whom
.they. made prisoners. Two persons, a
priest
.and a lawyer, have been executed at
v ittoria as traitors. General Elio had not
yet been strangled in pursuance of his sen-
tence, when the last accounts came away.—The
T...irkish power seems utterly paralysed. Up to the
21st of May, no Turkish force had approached Bu-
charest, notwithstanding the many accounts which
have reached us of their actually occupying it.
The circumstantial description of their ravaging
Wallachia (of which Bucharest is the capital)
seems equally unfounded.—Our extracts from
the German Mail state, that the defeat of the
Greeks at Galacz, in Bulgaria, is confirmed ;
b4t,this also may turn out a mistake, for the only
authentic intelligence of a Turkish force sent
_against the Greelts is that which mentions the
b*WQ or 7000 men who were sent from Constan-
tinople, who mutinied, and gave themselves up
to, pillage, after they had marched but an incon-
siderable distance from the capital.—The state
of Constantinople is still dreadful. The Ulemas,
who are intrusted with the ministry of Justice
and Religion, reproach the Divan with oppres-
sion and rapacity.—The latter retort upon the
former their religious hypocrisy, their iniquitous
Mdgment, and corrupt appointments of judicial
Magistrates, whilst the Janissaries clamour for
the heads of the most distinguished persons of
--both parties. --.scam-

(MORNING POST.]
The anniversary of the . glorious and ever-
memorable Battle of Waterloo was yesterday ce-
lebrated in a variety of ways ; and. well indeed-
rnight it be ; for the splendid occasion thus joy-
opty observed was decidedly the proudest that
ever graced the annals even of British glory. In
titans of peace, we are certainly not fond of, re-
curring to the triumph of war in a public way, as
we ,would not wish to ,excite any angry feeling
in the bosoms of those once respected as gallant
,epemies, but now esteemed as honourable friends.
'.ll;e, battle of Waterloo, however, may fairly.
4e, viewed as a triumph that England may corn-
inem?rate without reflecting on France. That
Victory was . gained over the greatest enemy of.
;'range ; that victory terminated the contest which.
.40 for a quarter of a century depopulated
Xurope ; and to that victory France as well as
41gland is already indebted for six years of re-,
FRK.'
_Those things remembered', the commemo-,:
ication of • the Battle. of Waterloo is not merely
;that of the triumph of British Councils and Bri-,
Alai valour, under the direction of the most. glo-.
"s:,Aous and illustrious Captain of the age, but the.
ebration of the great and blessed festival .of
Ewe. Long may the friendship so happily es-
tablished between the two 'nations continue !
Wishing all glory to-our countrymen in arms, We,
sincerely wish also that the laurels gained may
be the last that British warriors, shall ever gain
from 'Frenchmen.; for 'we. could wish that it
..wlritild,please the Great Disposer of Events to
_make the harmony now subsisting between the
two nations eternal. •
