Lord WALSINGHAM presented a petition from
Mr. Holt Lee, and other persons concerned in the coal •
mines near Liverpool and elsewhere, against the Bill
for reducing the duties upon Coals carried from ohe
part of the_coast of Wales to another, and praying to
be heard by themselves or Counsel against the prove,
'ions of the said Dill.

Upon the question " :hat this petition do lie upon
the table," a conversation took place between tot ds
Limerick, Sidmouth, the Lord Chancellor, Lords
Roslyn, Bathurst, Lauderdale, Bulkeley, and the
Duke of Norfolk, in the event of which, the question,
" that Counsel be heard against the said Bill," was
negatived without a division.
Earl BATHURST then intimated his intention of
fixing the third reading of the Bill to-morrow, for the
purpose of movizg that it be read a third time this day
three months.

..11,'D warm* BILL.
On the tonsideration of the amendments made by
the COMMoits in t)se Scots. Judicature Bill,
• The' LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the
amendment, which gave a right of appeal against in-
terlocutors, if there was a differenceof opinion amongst
the Judges, but would not press his objection if it was
likelyto endanger the Bill. It was necessary, how-
ever, to alter the position cf the arrieudment in the
Bill. There was another amendment also, which it
would be necessary to alter, which authorised an ap-
plication to the Court of Session in the cases of appeals
to the House of Lords, which were withdrawn or dis-
missed. This amendment, his Lordship observed.,
was not consistent with the roams of proceeding in that
House, and in effect made the Court of Session a
Court of Appeal front the decision of the linuse, Ih
therefore proposed to confine the effect of the amend.
ment to Appeals dismissed in consequence of not being
prosecuted. He thought it better, however, to post-
pone the consideration of these amendments till to-
morrow, and moved accordingly.
IJ The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that the
original intention of of this =tonne was to lessen the
number of Appeals to that House Exacts Scotland ; the
only proviion which thereWarita this Bill for ,that
purpose was, that which'prialiibitled appeals ironi In-
terlocutors, and this the Commons had in t&et-de-
stroyed, by giving an appeal where 'the Judges dif-
---fexed irr opinion, as there seldom occurred a case. in
which the Judges did ndt diter in (pinion. fie t~teFc•
fore recomraended resorting to the constitutional mode
of rejecting these amendments.
The further consideration of hes... amendments was
postponed till to-mtsgol.v.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
LAUDERDALE wished to ask the Noble

State why the information upon this sub-
wed for so long ago by his Noble Friend then
'Lord Auckland) had not been laid upon
table, and expressed much surprise
.ch delay.
HAWKESBURY said, he'could. only an-
Noble Baron by stating, that the papers he
to were certainly in a train of preparation to
• the House; but being very voluminous
llt to collect, some Belay had taken place in
;eduction. He assured the Noble Baron,
that thz information should be laid before
as soon as the accounts could be made up.
STIFENDIARY CURATES' TALL.
the question for going into a Committee on

iMMOUTII rose, and aft?r some general
respecting improprictors, and with a
make this measure as extensive as possible,
that it be an instruction to the Committee to
vision in the said Bill to encourage the resi-
. Curates appointed by impropriators, and in
icular cases to enforce the same.
Lord HAWKESBURY gave his decided nega-
, this moron, as wholly unconnected with the
. Bill, and as a measure which should stand
cen its own grounds, and not be introduced inciden-
slly this Bill.
After a few wurds in explanation, between Lords
SIDMOUTH aid HA WK.E.SBURY, the question
vas_ put, and the motion negatived without a division.
The House then went into a Committee on the bill,
is which a discussion took place almost on every
rlauce, and many amendments were proposed, several
which were adopted, and several, after much de-
te, rejected.
A division took place upon an amendment propos-
by Lord MOIRA, for rendering the Curate resi.
t in the Parsonage House responsible for such di-
idations during his residence as should occur
gh his wilful fault or negligence ; and it was re-
ted by a majority of 26 to 6.
An Amendment was proposed by the Archbishop
CANTERBURY for rendering the decision of the
ragan final, upon every appeal within his diocese
in the Rector or Curate.
This was opposed by the LORD CHANCEL-
LOR and Lord HAWKESBURY, not upon any
ground of doubt as to the just decision of the Bishops,
bet for the sake of unifos miry in the constitutional laws
of Church as well as State, by allowing an appeal to
the Metropolitan in ecclesiastical decisions, as to the
Hoare of Lords in civil cases.
The Reverend Prelate withdrer- his moticn.
The ArchbishOp of CANTERBURY moved to leave cut the
Cease enjoining the anneal return to the Privy Ccuncil, cf the
oarameets made under this Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR opposed this amendment, as a
irar power had beea given to the Privy CouEcil, hy the Act of
teeth of the Xirg ; he saw no reason why it should be omit-
sin this Bill. His Lordship professed himself as ardent a friend
ate dignity and privileges of the Church of England as any Pre-
-11!311 the Bench ; but he corceived, that such a controul might
sa!'ely given in a Bill which went to give more power than they
Weyer before possessed, without any degradation to their dig.
±7; more especially as doubts and jealousies •rsere entertained
many persons, which it became necessary to remove.
The Bishop of CARLISLE said, that tmcler this Bill, the Bi-
Asps might justly consider themselves a. placed in a state of hu-
MIAMI ; because treated :sit they wished to act in the dart:, or
curcise a partial or an arbitrary jurisdiction. But, for his own
terilooldng at the Bill altogether, he considered it as a measure
nicshted to produce in practice the very reverse of the object it
Imposed in theory. It was designed to Produce peace ;it would
palace, on the contrary, discord and strife. It would excite on
thpart of the Curate a grudge rowans his Rector, and conti-
suly induce him to pry after the terms upon which he may be
hilted, for juclicious reasons, to let his tythes to the Landlord ;
tßector would continually Took with anxiety towards his Din-'
asn,apprehenslve of appeals from his Curate ; tho Diocesan
wad loox with equal anxiety towards his Metropolitan, who
auto have a controul over his decions, and nay! it w._s pro-
Pued to give a further appeal from the decision of the Metropo-
tmo to the Privy Council. He would reserve Lis final decision
cm the Bill, until he should hear fur:her discussion. But so
hr as he had yet heard, he could only view it as a rneastire that
would produce a thousand evils for one good, and promote nothing
let jealousy, discord, and ill-lelood throughout the Church.
After a few words from Lerd REDESDAI.E, the House di-
sided upon the clause, Contents, 16 ; Non-cot:tents, I.s.—Ma-
Phi for the clause,l.
The other clauses of the Bill were agreed to without a divi ion;
with. House being resumed, the Report was orders_d to be re-
seised to-mot row.—Adjourned. .

}Lis lottjesty's ship ARETHUSA; Sir CHARLES BRIs.
LANE, Knt. Captain, has arzlved at Portsmouth from
iunaica in 32 days, with a large convoy. The fol.
%wing passengers were lancl.l from the ARETHUSA
atTotness, in Devonshire :—D. BAILLIE, Esq. ; Cap-
UnISBROUGHTON,BAINBRIGGE, CARPENTER; Boys, and
SCOTT ; Lieutenants VioLEr and Coxwm ; and Mr.
PAUL.

To mention all the idle rumours that have been
circulated since the arrival of the interesting intelli-
gence from Spain, which has occupied our columns
br the last two days, would be endless. The most
Prominent is a report, first circulated in an Evening
Taper of yesterday, that MURAT'S troops had been

defeated by the Patriots near Madrid. and that he
had been obliged to take refuge at keteira, where he
was fortifying himself. We wish we'could add that
there was ground for believing this statement well
founded, but it is altogether discredited. None of
the letters, the contents of which have yet reached
us, give any countenance to this report ; but some
of them mention that MURAT has thought it erpel
dient to withdraw his troops from Madrid, and erect
fortifications at El Pardo, where he has cut down
trees, &c. to render himself more secure. This move-
ment MURAT may have thought necessary in con-
sequence of the hostile proCeedings in Galicia, from,
which quarter a force of 40,000 men was marching
against Madrid, and MURAT, perhaps, has not morel
than 12,000 under his immediate command. But
the public should be on their guard against unfoundedl
rumours.

In the preceding columns, our readers will find
copies of letters received by the ALCMENE, which are
highly interesting ; also some more Addresses and
Documents published by the Patriots.
Letters from Oporto, of the 15th inst. state, that
the port of Ferrol was then in the possession of the
Patriots. It is also stated, that the troops which
were directed to march from Madrid to Cadiz under
the command of General DuPo.Nr, were ordered to
halt at FamUique until farther orders from head-
quarters ; and that these troops afterwards returned
to Madrid, in consequence of the insurrections'
which had taken place in the .North of Spain.—
We have heart nothing further respecting the account
in the Oviedo Gazette, of the action in the Mediterra-
nean. We observe, however, in the foreign papers,
an article from Venice, which states, that Lord Cot.-
LINGWOOD had detached a squadron, under Sir RICH-
ARD SzasciinN, to cruize between the Balearic Islands
and Sardinia. If the French, therefore, attempted to
send a force to Carthagena, there was every probabi.
lity that. Sir R. STRACHAN would fall in with them.
Don GASPAR MELCHOR de JOVELLANOS, late Mini-
ster of Grace and Justice in Spain, is appointed Pre-
sident of the revolted Provinces of the North of Spain.
Tills exalted character having, according to Lord
HOLLAND, devoted the labours of his useful life to the
improvement and happiness of his countrymen, was,
during the reign of CHARLES, imprisoned in the dun-
geons of Palma, without an accusation.
On the accession of FERDINAND, the first act of his
reign was to send for JOVELLANOS ; but before he could
reach Madrid, the new King was removed to Bayonne,
and the Provinces had begun the insurrection. He
was detained by the leaders of the Patriots, who in-
formed him that his services were necessary, to sanc
' tion and animate the confederacy.

Orders have been sent to Chatham-yard, to ascer-
tain immediately what ships at that port are fit to re-
ceive troops on board.
Some of the armswhich were takenfrom the Spanish
Armada in the time of Queen ELIZABETH, and have
been since deposited in the Tower, have within these i
few days been re-shipped for Spain, for the use of the
Spanish patriots.
Sir GEORGE STAUNTON, Bart. was a passenger on
board one of the ships from China. He landed at
Plymouth, and has arrived in London. Sir GEORGE
left England in 1804., and has conducted some nego-
ciations at Canton, highly advantageous to the India
Company, and to the general interests of this country.
GIFFEN WILLSON, Esq. was on Saturday last re-
turned a Member for Great Yarmouth, in the room
of S. LOSHINGTON, Esq. who has accepted the Chil-
tern Hundreds.
The publication of School Books, indicates to per-
sons of observation the improved System of Educa-
tion, now prevalent in this Country. The useful
Practical Sciences being now generally preferred to
the dead languages, we have a new race of Elemen-
tary Treatises, and the School Books of Mayor, Blair,
Gregory, Robinson, Goldsmith, Joyce, and others,
have properly superseded the works of the Dilworths,
Dychee, and Fennings, of the last age. The useful
sciences are consequently become branches of ordi-
nary Educatioh, and Natural Philosophy, Geogra-
phy, Natural History, General History, Biography,
arid other subjects have been so simplified, by the
above authors, as to be susceptible of being taught
with little additional trouble hi every Seminary.
A melancholy event took place, Sunday se'nnight,',
on board one of the transports lying at Cove. As
Lieutenant PRATT, of the sth Regiments was handing
his father (who had come from Kinsale to see him),
out of the ship, by some unlucky slip, he missed his
foot-step, fell over-board, and never rose again.—
Thes fell, in the prime of life, a valiant young man,
equ..lly distinguished for his humanity and bravery
as a soldier.
OXFORD UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE:-.--Of 115 Can-
didates at the Public Examination this Term (being
the second under the new Statute), seven were a -
mined into the first class, of which Christ Church fur-
nished four, viz HENRY . JOY, WYNDHAM KNATCH-
BULL, WILLIAM LAW, and CHARLES MONRO ; UIII2
versity College produced two, viz. JOHN P. ALLEN,I
and THOMAS D. ALLEN ; and Worcester College one,
viz. JOHN MILLER. Twenty-five were admitted into
the second class of the Liters Humanioret, and five into
the second class of the Disciplins Mathematics et Ph.y.
ji,,e.__That a measure like the New Statute was
much wanted, no one who remembers in what manner
degrees were formerly obtained will dispute ; nor caul
it be doubted that it has been already attended with'
beneficial consequences ; but we think it may be im-
proved.
An entirely new machine has been invented by two
individuals in the country, which wills ntirely super-
sede the necessity for climbing-boy in cleansing
chimnies of soot. The machine acts on a simple plan,
can be made at a small expense, and can be adopted
in all chirrinies, however they may be formed, or how-
ever high. It is the intentions of the inventors
of it ito lan
y
before the Public a more paricular account
the course of a fortnight or three weeks.
