NAVY ESTIMATES.

The Third Report at Ch Stiect Committee of
the House of Commons on Finance, has been
/Hinted. It relates exclusively to the Nary Esti-
mates. There is a decrease in some of the de-
partments, and ircr.slase in others ; but the total
result is a diminution in the Estimates of the
present year to the amount of 20,0281, 4s. Bd,

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
'uesday last. In the Chamber of Deputies on
Monday, the Petitions for the recall of the exiles
were brought into discussion upon a Report made
upon. the' subject by M. de COTTON, from the
Committee upon Petitions. The Report object-
ed "to taking any step upon these Petitions, upon
the ground that it .ould be usurping the
Royal 'prerogative, and recommended the Cham-
ber to pass to the Order of the Dar. Con-
siderable agitation followed the conclusion of the
Report, and MM. CAUMAKTIN, BENJAMIN CON-
STANT, RODET, and KERATRY, on the one side ;
and MM. de VILLBLE and de la BOITEDONNAYE,

on the other ; all ruse together demanding per-
mission 'to speak. M. CAUMARTIN at length
ob:ained the word, and argued for oblivion
of the past, and that Frenchmen, if guilty,
should be polished by. France', and not,left to the
rue; cy of Foreign Powers. The Keeper of the
;:iea►s, in an eloquent speech, contended, that it

:vas impossible, without a vi,dation of every mo-
ral feeling, without lowevititg the. Royal Dignity
in the eyes of France, "and of all Europe,- to call
upon the King to restore to. their Comm); the
assassins of his bt'other and predeeeisor on the
Throne. He deprecated all interference of
the Chamber upon such a subject, maintain-
ing, that it ought to be entirely left to the
clemency of his Majesty, operatingaccord-
in;; to the good conduct, the age, or the in-'
firmities of the party, to whom mercy Might
he'sought to be extended. The speech of the
Keeper of the Seals was received with great ap-
plause by the Chamber, who would not bear any
one afterwards, and ahruptiy closed the discus-
sion. The Ordrr of the Day was agreed Ito by a
majority, consistin4 of the whole of the right
side, the whole of the centre, and a part of the
left ; scarcely twenty members voted the other
,way. The dispussibti was then gone into on, the
articles of the projet respecting the financial ac-
counts, aid adjounied t,li Tuciday.Tr-The fol-
lowing Are extracts:—
" l'Aats, MAY 18.—The King transacted busi-
ness yesterday with the Keeper of the Seals and
the Minister Jrti Foreign Affairs.

" The Ex• llospodar of Wallachia arrived on
the 7th inst. at Turin, on his way into Italy.
" It is understood, that in conisegnence of a
communication made by the Minister of. the In-
terior to the Cardinals and Bishops, the unani-
limos opinion of those assembled (about 40 Pre-
Lilo), being the majority of the Church of France,
has heels to refer to preceding answers writ-
ten to the Sovereign Pontiff, and to express an
irrevocable sentiment with relation to all that is
to he.agreed upon between his Holiness and the
King of France.

LYTTLBTOtei Motion in the I-10115E9f Corn•
mons' on Wednesday, respecting CERTIFICATED.
CONEYAt.ICERS; and all I'etsons who execute legal
business without due qualifications, arising from
a regular progress in the Profession, is- of very
great importance to the Public at large, and de-
mands the utmost attention of all who possess,
or 'are likely to possess, PRoPERTY. The evils
arising from erroneous 'practice in time ,transfer,_ or
bequest, of Property are incalculable, and the whole
community are deeply concerned in the expedi-
ency, or rather necessity, of some decisive and ef-
fectual regulation on the subject, It ought never
to .be, forgotten, by the People in general, that
THE SUN was the only Paper that started the sub•
ject, and opened -the discussion to the Public at
large. Our Paper, therefore,, necessarily at-
!tinted the attention of the legal world oh
the occasion, as we had many valiable
coummmunictions from !carped and judicious cor-
'respts9dents,-- which led to a wide and liberal pa-
tronage of Tmt ,St.;:v among various classes of the •
Profession, linked we are nssured that Papers
were posted up iu some of.the inns of Court to
attract the notice of tire Profession to the dis-
cussions in our JOuri,mal; and we can solemnly
aver that we bad no concern in that plea-
sure, As the subject is now brought into
legislative notice, we 'trust that it will lead,
to some enacuwents which. mAy secure pro-
perry in general, and excite more confidence
in the Profession, by clearing it from venal,
ig-
norant; and presumptuous intrusion. -Our co-
lumns shall be again. open to our Cot respondents,
and we solicit the renewal of their animadversions
on a question so generally interesting, as they
mar-afford hints not unworthy of time attention of
the Legislatve.

Mr. HOLME SUMNER'S Motion last night in the
1-lons'e of Commons, for leave to bring in a Bill
to repeal the Acts for imposing duties- on Coal
sea-borne, or carried coastways, was of a very
interesting kind, and will most probably he re-
newed on a future •occosion, though it was nega;
lived by a majority of 151 to 49., The Motion
also of Lord ALTUORPE, for leave to bring in
a new Bill for the Relief of Insolvent. Debt Ors,
relates to a subject very interesting to the
Trading World, and therefore the Public in
general have 'great reaspn to be satisfied that
the motion was agreed to, and the Bid read
a first time. The subject has undergone a very
ample discussion, exclusively in our Paper, by,
several enlightened Correspondents, from whom
we expect farther communications, which will be
found highly interesting and important to us as
a trading nation.

It
_is deeply to he regretted that the Annual
Parliament and Universal Suffrage DeMagogues
should bale intruded thennives among the re-
spectable Body of Merchants, Bankers, and

' Traders of the City of London, at their recent
Meeting on the qtaestion of CURRENCY, as the
mere ,appearance of such, a desperate Gang mast
have disturbed the feelings of all decent
and well-disposed Persons present. It was,
indeed, from this circumstance, impossible to
expect 'a fair and candid discussion. What
right had the old Radical Reformer Major CART-
vnuGtir to be present I Though ha is an amphi-
bious animal, belonging both to the Army and the
Navy, he did not come under the description of any
of the Persons invited. to the Meeting, and it was
not to be supposed that the leading characters, or
the great body of the real trading world who at-
_tended, Woald patiently listen to his. dull long-
winded harangues', which, in all probability,
would have dilated upon topics not at. all relative
to the purpose of the Meeting, and would as-
suretily have spread such .a torpor over the Meet-
ing, 'as wotild have rendered sleep " the Order
of the Day." As to WOOLRE, HUNT, and-the
tonal Reeolulionary Orators, it is indifferent'to
them where they' appear, if they can but procure
atteution, or at least int roilace turbulence and con-
fusion. We rather wonder that WaTsota, the
EVANSES, GALE JONES., and all the rest of 'the
Spa fields Decleimers were 'not also present. In-
deed, as the matter stood, we wonder that the
tespectable Chairman, Mr, BAINBRIDGE, on ob-
serving that such characters were present, did not
suggest the propriety of requiring that all persons
should withdraw who did toot come within the
designations of the persons intended to 'be
convened on the occasion. But, howe'yer, it
is gratifying to find that the really respect-
zhlcs persons. present were not deterred front
expressing their sentiments by the , offensive
lutruders in question.. Sir ROBERT PEEL spoke
with, a manliness, good sense, and candour, which
would-entitle hint to imereased respect if his cha-
racter could be renderd more estimable titan it
is. The manner in which he expressed the dif7
ferences of his opinions with titose of his Son, the
Right honourable Chairman, of the Commons'
Committee, was marked by a delicacy, mingled
with parental affection, and a laudable impulse
Of parental pride, that was in the highest
degree creditable to • his feelings. What the
Honourable Baronet said, and it 4, whith he was
supported by other very respectable speakers,
mast have carried conviction to the mind of every
candid and judicious Atolitor It has been justly
observed, in a respectable Morning •Paper of, this
day, that though Mr: Pest. was Chairman of the
Committee of the lloase of Commons, it'is nut
to he inferrqd that be agreed tO all the State-
ments, and assented to all the Positions laid down
in its Report, but rather that, furnished tsy his
venerable father with solid information, arisin;•
.
from extensive experience and great practical
knowledge, he might have combated many of
them with great force, though nothing of that
Opposition could, of course, he admitted into the
Report. On the whole qiistiort, it, seems to be
'satisfactorily demonstrated, by the best anthori-
tieS, that the most lamentable consequences
would result from a sudden return ' to Cash Pay-
ments, and that the evil, would 50uu be felt by
every class of the Conimunity.

The Spanish. brig Celesta, front Africa for.lia-
vannah, with 167 slaves on board, was captured
on the. 26th February, after on action .ot lour
hoots, by.,the schooner Patriot, Captain .1,
The privateer afterwards tell in wish Or. sAly,
Homms, from St. Aogostioe, bound to New
Orleans, and put on
,board her the Captain and
crew of the Celesta.

Yesterday the dispatches were dosed at the
East India flouse, and delivered to the Pursers
of the following ships, NI Z. :-=Princess Charlotte
'of Wales, Captain' C.•-13. Gcmci.E.; and MarqUess

HOLY, THURSDAY.—Yesterday, according to
annual custom ~the Overseers and Churchwardens,
accompanied by the boys an,' girls of the different
parish schools in the Metropolis, perambulated in
procession the houn‘ds of their respective parishes,
with music, nags, staves, and bouquets. Some
of the processions had a very shewy appearance,
considering the state of the weather.

SUDDEN DEATH.--leSterthy, as a genteel dres-
sed man was' walkiug along Cannon-row, West-
minster, apparently'. in good health, he sudden:y
droppvd down on the pavement and inst...totly,
expired. The corpse was remove.d to a house in
the neighbourhood to be .owned, Atid for a Co-
roner's Jury to sit upon it.

MvsTratous IrPrinisitinn 1 Was
taken betore THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Cmoner,
at the Jew's Harp, Regent's 11'ark, on the
body of Mr, William Newitt, watch-hotise keeper.
of Mary-le-bone Parish, for a number of years.
mho was found in the Canal, in the Re-
gent's Park,' with his, hands lied behind his
back with a cord, and whom it was reported
had
.been robbed, his arms pinioned, and thrp‘en
into the canal. Several witnesses were examitt-
ed, whose evittence went to ,prove that the de-
ceased was deranged in his mind for Several
days prior to his leaving .home, in consequence of
some domestic affliction.— Verdict, " The
.ceased drowned himself,- being at the time in a
state of mental derangenuut.".
