PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

-Mr. BANKES gave notice, that on Friday next he
would move the appointment of a Select Committee to in-
quire into the state of the public buildings, and that in
Committee of Supply he would move the grant to the
British Museum.

Mr. HUME moved that the return of the number of
arrests under mesne process by the Sheriffs of Middlesex
be printed.
Mr. PEEL.—I suppose the Hon. Gentleman is aware
of the size of those returns.

Mr. HUME.—They are comprised in the small paper
I now hold in my hand.
Mr. PEEL was only apprehensive that they might
have been the returns ordered the other evening upon the
motion of the Hon. Gentleman, and which were exceed-
ingly voluminous. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Hume)
would do well to keep in mind the very useful motion of
the Hon. Member for Newcastle, regart:•ng the enormous
expense incurred in the printing of returns, which were
probably never afterwards referred to for any practical
purpose.
Mr. HUME remarked, that a great deal bad been said
about the printing of his returns. Now, what was the
fact ? The expense of printing all his returns amounted
only •to 42/., whereas thousands of pounds had been
squandered upon the printing of other and useless returns.

HOPS.

Downincr-street, 1111irch 11.
. The Duke of Wellington and Mr. Goulburn pre-
sent their compliments to Sir Edward Knatchbull
and Mr. Curteis. They have considered the peti-
tion of the hop-growers of the several counties which
were presented by them at the late interview, and
have the honour to acquaint them, that
.directions
have :been ,given for postponing. thepayment of the
hop duty till August and November next, on suffi-
cient security being afforded for the payment of one-
half of the duty.ncov due at each of those periods.
The Duke :of Wellington and Mr. Goulburn have
further had under their consideration the inconve-
niences which have been found. to result 'from the
repeated pOstponement of the payment of the hop
duty, and which have arisen, in a great degree, from
the mode in, which the duty is now paid. They
haVe, 'therefore, thought it . expedient to. take
meaStireS for effecting a change in the existing re-,
gulations, the. effect of. which will be that, hops in
future will be bonded, and the duty paid only on tote:
article being taken out of bond.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1818.

The proceedings in Parliament last night were
not particularly. interesting. Mr. JONATHAN Fox
was admonished and discharged, and Mr. D. W.
iralavuY failed in procuring the attendance of Mr.
CROMPTON, who has taken a violent cold. Lord
NUGENT'S motion, for abolishing corporal punish-
ment, met with the usual fate of such measures.—

Mr. G. BANE.RS stood forward in the cause of the
Roman Catholics, by proposing to remove their
double Land Tax--not their civil disabilities; but
Sir C. WETHERELL could not accompany to its full
extent this enlargement of mind on the part of the
Hon. Member for Corfe Castle.

The news from the East in the last French
Papers received, adds little or nothing to our pre-
vious information. The same preparations and the
same high bearing continue to mark the conduct of
the PORT% while the rumours of the Russians hav-
ing passed the Pruth, or about to pass it, assume
daily more probability; save up to the pretest
moment nothing is positively known, but that a
feverish state of excitement is kept up for obvious
purposes. It would, therefore, be idle to reason
upon such a state of uncertainty, when a few days,
perhaps, a few hours, may give a decided cast to the
situation of affairs.

It appears that by a telegraphic despatch from
Lisbon, DON MIGUEL had taken the oath to the
Charter on the 26th ult. before the Cortes, and
the first, act of his Government was to appoint
the following liberal Administration :—The Duke
of CADOVAL, President of the Council ; the
Marquis of VILLA REAL, Minister. of War. and
Foreign Affairs; the Marquis of VIANA, Minister
of Marine; M. LEITE, Minister of the Interior ;
M. FURTADO, Minister of Justice; and Count de
LAUZAN, Minister. of Finance. It is supposed that
the Marquis of PALMELLA Will be Minister f9l'
Foreign Affairs. ,

The private advices from Constantinople, since the - '
departure of the diplomatic Agents, agree in stating
that most part of the troops which the GRAND StM.
NOR had collected in haste in the above capital are
destined for an expedition to the Morea, but it is
hoped that the project, which will lead to the mas-
sacre of the Greeks, will be impeded by the forees-_
M England and France, which are going tto be sent
London, England, 1828-03-11

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

A new Tragedy from the pen of Lord Porchester, en-
titled " Don Pedro," was produced last night at this
Theatre. The incidents (with the aid of a strong inven-
tive faculty) are derived from that portion of Spanish his-
tory which relates to the reign of Pedro the Cruel, and to
the circumstances which dispossessed him of the throne in
favour of his natural brother Henry of Trastamar. Un-
fortunately, however, these incidents though sufficiently
stirring and numerous,' were heaped up and massed to
gether in such confusion, that any attempt to unravel them
would be—to use the expressive language of Aunt Tabitha, in
Humphry Clinker—" a moral impossible." The play bill
helped us to some little explanation on the subject ; and the
occasionally loud tones of Mr. Macready, together with the
abundant exercise of one arm by Mr. Cooper, induced us
to suppose that something like passion was going forward,
but beyond this all was uncertainty and confusion. One
scene, indeed, which Macready shared with Miss Ellen
Tree was rather intelligible, and elicited much applause,
but then it appeared disjointed, and stood apart, as if scorning
a closer connexion with the subject. We should not omit
to state in justice to the audience that they were unusually
merciful and long suffering ; au occasional burst of good feel-
ing, such as "he was my brother, and how many wrongs die
in that thought," served to propitiate them for the time being;
and it was not until the infliction drew near a close that
the disapprobation of the one .half the audience awoke the
other half, when both loudly concurred in the propriety of
instantaneous damnation. In justice, however, to Lord
Porchester, we must add, that his tragedy exhibited con-
siderable power of thought and language ; its great defect
was, an utter destitution of drainatic tact. The actors all
did their best ; but the feeling of the audience was un-
equivocal, and three nights is the utmost eternity we can
allow to the ill-starred Don Pedro.

mittee on the Roman Catholic Land-tax Bill,
Mr. CURTEIS said a few words, which did not reach
the gallery.
Mr. G. BANKES said the object of the Bill was, not to
place the Catholics in a better situation than the Protestants
with respect to the land tax, or to throw on Protestants
that portion of the burden from which Catholics were
to be relieved. The loss, whatever it might be, would be
deduction from the public income, and the inconvenience
in that respect ought to be borne, in order to get rid of
the injustice of the unequal pressure of the tax on Ro-
man Catholics.

Mr. FERGUSSON said, that some objections which
he had to part of the Bill having been removed, he now
gave it his hearty support.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had no objection to
the principle of the Bill, but he thought the relief ought
not to be extended to Roman Catholics who had pur-
chased the estates of Protestants, or to Protestants who
had purchased those of Roman Catholics, for they bought
them subject to those payments.
The House then went into the Committee, and certain
verbal amendments having been made, the House resumed,
and the report was ordered to he brought up on Monday next.
Sir J. GRAHAM brought in a Bill for the better re-
gistration of persons entitled to vote in counties. It was
read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time
on Monday, and to be printed.

TATTERSALL'S.—MARcH 10.

The members of the Turf assembled as usual, but it
seemed only for the purpose of looking at, and conversing
with, each other, for betting seemed almost out of the
question. The little that was done, however, indicated
that Druid has fewer admirers, and has in consequence
gone a little way back. Amy is not quite so good a fa-
vourite, but the Colonel is liked better than ever, and
was backed pretty freely at '7 to 1, and in some 'instances

AHISTORY of the LIFE and VOYAGES
of CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.

By WASHINGTON IRVING.

This work will, from what we Lave seen of it, give
Mr. Washington Irving a prodigious increase of ferns.
The novelty of fact exhibited will command wonder,—
only to be explained by the circumstances which have
given the author access to public as well as private archives,
hitherto fountain shut up, and a book sealed.' The
chaste and nervous elegance of the style, and the liberal
and truly philosophical cast of thought and sentiment, are
what ne one need be surprised with, who has read some
of his previous writings : but this performance is every
way a more elaborate one than any of those, and of higher
pretensions,—pretensions which we have no doubt the
world will pronounce to be justified in the result. To
throw an air of total novelty on a theme of ancient inte-
rest,—to write a history, where previously there had been
only metnoires pour servir,'--suelt has been our Ameri-
can countryman's proud attempt ; and with unesingled
pleasure do we contemplate the fruit of his long and ar-
duous labours."—Literary Gazette, Feb. 2.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

LEWES, MARCH B.—The state of our Hop Market may
be considered rather heavy, yet there appears no disposi-
tion to give way in price.

A party of gentlemen from Chester were
coursing a few days ago at Woodbank, and started a hare
in a fire-acre field, with no less than five dogs; after an ex-
cellent run, in which puss was turned the astonishing num-
ber of seventeen times in the same field, she escaped un-
hurt. The same hare, during the last, and the present
season, has been repeatedly chased by all the best dogs in
the neighbourhood, and numerous methods have Ix- ,n
adapted to trepan her; but this wonderful animal has, in
every instance, eluded her enemies. She is generally found
in one particular place, and probably is enabled to beat her
pursuers from the knowledge of the ground she has so often
run. The above number of dogs were turned, not for the
sake of killing her, but merely to try her swiftness.-

of Saturday.)

MR. DILLON BOYLAN IN THE CHAIR.

Mr. Cunamq acted as Secretary, and read the proceed-
ings of the last day's meeting.
Mr. LAWLESS read a petition which had been presented
by the Working Woollen Manufacturers to his Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant, and his Excellency's Answer, express-
ing the greatest anxiety to meet the prayer of the peti-
tioners. He stated that his Excellency expressed himself
fearful that, in his reply, he did not convey how fully he
felt the desire to assist the National Manufactures ; that
not oaly would he do so in his own power and person, but
in every way in which he could extend his influence—that
his Household and his Regiment (the 7th), should use
none other.

Mr. O'ComtEm. gave notice, that he should on Satur-
day next move a vote of thanks to the Rev. Mr. Laffin,
Minister to a Union of three Parishes in Tipperary, and
also to Mr. Quin. He complained that no friend of the
Catholics had brought forward the hardship of the New
Vestry Bill, nor had they taken a proper view of the Sub-
letting Act, and particularly reprobated the conduct of Mr.
Villiers Stuart, who came into Parliament on the skoulders
of those who would be rendered paupers by that very Act ;
he said the Catholic Association owed more to the liberal
English Members, and gave notice that on Saturday next
he would move that a ticket of admission should be for-
warded to Joseph Hume, Esq., who had so manfully said
that he should be proud to be a Member.
Mr. O'CoNNELL brought forward his ;notion for an ad-
ditional yearly allowance of SOL to Mr. Dwyer, the Secre-
tary to the Association, to enable him to obtain assistance.
Sir Thomas Esmonde seconded the motion, and eulogized
the conduct of that gentleman for his steady and unre-
mitting exertions.—Carried unanimously.
Mr. O'Corisma. prefaced by a short and feeling address
a motion to the effect, that a subscription should be entered
into, in order to pay a tribute of national gratitude to Mr.
Eneas Macdonnell.

Mr. Sum seconded the motion in a short speech, which
was frequently interrupted by, and concluded amidst, gene-
ral cheering. _ _

Mr. LAWLESS and Mr. O'DwYEa spoke to the same
effect.

Mr. CoxwAY said the eloquence of Mr. Sheil and others
bad left him nothing to say in support of the motion, he
knew there was no man who would receive a mark of
national consideration with so high a feeling of gratitude,
and he should not like such a motion to pass without his
voice being heard.
The motion was then carried with acclamation, upon
which Sir T. Esmonde, Mr. O'Connell, and several other
gentlemen immediately gave their names as contributors for
ten guineas.

CORN TRADE.

Mr. CURTEIS wished .to pit a •question to a Right
Hon. Gentleman opposite: Me understood a considerable
trade in corn was carried on between Liverpool and the isle
of Man. It was stated that within a short period, no less
than 10,000 quarters were transported from Liverpool.
He would have great satisfaction in hearing that this re-
port was without foundation ; and, if the trade did exist, he
would be happy to hear that it was the intention of his
Majesty's Ministers to regulate the trade with the isle of
Man, for doing which an opportunity would arise when
the new Corn Bill was brought in, which it was understood
to be the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to introduce,
and on which the country was very desirous of some infor-
mation. .. •

Mr. FRANKL AND LEWIS said that his Majesty's
Government had made inquiries upon the subject men-
tioned by the Hon. Member, and the information received
upon that subject came down to the 19th of Feb. last, up
to that day there had been exported from Liverpool_to the
isle of Man 4,500 quarters of Wheat. It was true that
that Wheat when manufactured into flour or biscuit might
be exported from the isle of Man to England, but up to
that date no portion of that Wheat had been imported into
Liverpool in the shape either of flour or biscuit. In order
to ascertain in what way this Wheat was disposed of,
the Officer of the Customs at the isle of Man was writ-
ten to, and bis reply was that none of the corn so
imported into Liverpool had been exported from thence.
He (31r. F.) conld not say whether that corn still remain-
ed in the isle of Man, or whether it was disposed of to
ships in the Channel.
