ENGLISII OPERA HOUSE.-MOLIERE'S
Tartuffe was represented last night for the first time this
seaon, and attracted a numerous audience at this theatre.
Monsieur PERU'S, of course, sustained the original part of
Dr. Cantwell, with his usual ability.

GUILDHALL CoNcERT.---The liberal .
.sup-
port. which the public have given to the exertions of the
committee on this occasion will, we undersiand,- be pro..
ductive of all the advantage which could possibly have
been desired. It was asserted by many in the kali, that
upwards of 2,000 tickets had been sold, and the persons
preient certainly 'did not fall far short of that number.
About two-thirds of the audience consisted of ladies, and
the coup d'ceil offered by the variety, of their elegant
dresses was pietnresque in" the extreme. The perform-
ances commenced at 12 o'clock, and were concluded at
four.

DUEL—DOVER, APRIL 2.—Ye have just
heard of an unfortunate rencontre yesterday at Boulogne,
between two of the English residents there; both military
men, a Captain H-11-31 and. a Lieutenant C-:-TH---R.
They met at noon, close to the tows, attended by their
seconds, and fought at twelve paces. At the first fire
the ball of. Captain H--It--31 passed through the upper
part " of Lieutenant C.'s neck, close to the ear,
.and
he died almost instantaneously. The survivor made his
escape, and is supposed to have gone into Flanders.
DuEL.--Private. letters from Greece state,
that a duel had taken place there between Colonel FAnvtica
and the Greek General PEADICA.S.4, The latter was wouncletl
in the breast, not dangerously.

FATAL - DUEL.—Yesterday afternoon, be-
tiveen two three o'clock, a meeting took place near Ver-
non-mount, between two gentlemen of this city, Messrs.
Gotnix and M'C.twrnv, and.in the first fire the former
was shot through the body and fell dead. ' We have not
learned the' cause of the difference, or who the seconds
were; for the moment the unfortunate young man fell,
'they all ran off and left his body on the ground. The de-
ceased had been only recenily cork Constitu-
tion of Saturday.

It is reported that, rather than not pass the
Catholic Bills before the Recess, 111inisters- are determined
that Parliament shall sit on Eistei Eye.

GLOUCESTER ASSIZES.—The law aNes atie
-expected to be unusually interesting, as there are two 3c.

`HOUSE OF-'O- lONS. —(LAST NIGHT.)
A: person from the Bank of En
gland brought up
eei-
tai returns.• relative to money paid in for the dimiati-
'On Of the Public Debt.
• person also brdught up certain Returns from. the
Isichequer.
Crayfer.frona the Treasury brought up a Return of
V ieat and Flour•atnivally consumed in Great Britain.
:9'en:.GASCOYNE moved for the second reading of
•the bill for ereeting • St.' Martin's New Church, at Liver-
y.~•,
Mr. W. HARVEY opposed the further progress of this
Bill, on Abe ground that the application of 20,0001. of the
Public -,money from the, fund voted • for building new
churches was an uncalled for war e of the public.money,
unasked for; and unrequited by the' population of •Liver;.•
pool; which has at present seventeen churches for de-
votional accommodation. . • ,
General GASCOYNE replied,. dist the corporation of
Liverpool .having 'already expended 90,000/. in building
churches, could not appropriate a further sum without the
assistance granted by theCOintbissioners.
Mr: NUME observed that-neither himself or his Hon.'.
Friend (111 i.. Harvey) blamed the corporation of the town
of Liverpool; they only wished the further progress
of . this '• Bill ..should be. -postponed till an enquiry was
instituted into the' conduct of the Commissioners for
Building Churches; and. then the blouse haVing ob-
tained' that • additional information might. deal with the
Bill as` they should think fit. He; therefore, moved that
'the :consideration of this Report be Postponed. for one
Month,- in order to afford time to investigate the conduct
of the Commissioners.
. On the motion for,the amendment being put,
Mr. HUSKISSON obsetved, that the Corporation ha&
burdened theinselves with • e patronage of this Church,_
and had bound theinselves to an annual expense in provid-
ing minister's, and he put it to the Honourable Gentle-
man, himself a lawyer, to point out any law which could
Ornpel.them to make that provision, if they were to
ret.ist it, and had not adopted it voluntarily.
Mr. HARVEY explained, and . Observed that he
never would allow a Private Bill to pass this House
for the infliction of a public wrong on the public expendi-
ture without exposing it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, as one of
the Commissioners, oh-served, that the Act iMpesed,On the
parishioners the duty of inquiring through all the parishes
in England,- in order to ,asceitain- where there were not
sufficient churches.. He contended that this did not ren-

der it necessary for a parish to make any application, and
Is that the Commissioncrs had acted according to
the', spirit` of the Act, in granting to this Corpo-
ration, which had already done more than was re-
quired by the Act, namely, that of expending in
building churches more than was granted to them,
a sum which would enable them to build a church in a
populous pit,risla, which could not afford to build one.
Mr. MABERLY also opposed the Bill.
The question was then put, and the amendment ne-
gatived without a division. The Bill was then read a
second time.
A message from the Lords brought down their Lord-
'ships' assent to several Private Bills.
Mr.` WARD presented a petition from the ward of Bil-
lingsgate against the New London Bridge Bill.
' Mr. W. PEEL brought up returns from the prisons in
Ole Metropoli4, stating the number of prisoners confined

therein.
Mr. STANLEY moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
amend the Bishops' Leasing Bill in Ireland. The prin-
ciple of the amendment appeared to be the extending
the term for Bishops' leases from 21 years, their
present limit, to 41' years ; all ,fines due NA the time of
revival to be paid before the new lease be granted. The
Hon. Member said he was coneinced that the extension of
the time would be beneficial • to' the Bishop and to the
tenant, and would also be cf very great benefit to
the country, inasmuch as it would in a great degree pro-
mote a more liberal cultivation of the land.
Mr. HUME. supported the motion.- - He said that the
House could not consent' that Irish_ Arch-bishoPti and
Bishops should continue to live like ;Princes,. when it wits
well known that they had little or nothing to-do.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
he agreed with a part of the argument of the Ironotirable
Member, and he thought that some alteration was ne-
cessary, but he differed as to the mode of effect-
, ing that change, so as to render it more teneficial.
Sir C: WETHERELLInew that the Church proper-
ties in England, managed according to the restrictions con-
ta;ned in the Act of Elizabeth, were as well cultivated as
any in the country.; but if the Honottrable Mover could
prove a different'sta'e of things in Ireland, he should have
his assent to what was proposed ;-'but he protested against
the radical doctrines of the. Honourable Member for Mon-
trose, whichplainly went the length of a total confisca-
tion of the Church property under the pretence of an im-
provement of its management.
Mr.' Secretary PEEL recollected that the Honour-
able Member for Montrosemade a motion on a former
occasion which would have . had the effect of confiscating
all Church property. . That motion had been resisted
in such a manner as to shew, there existed no intention
on the part of the Members of that House to agree in
such a, proposition ; and he was convinced, that if
the Honourable Member brought for Ward any proposi-
tion of the same kind with reference to the fill which the
Hon. Member (Mr. Stanley) was about to introduce, that
it would be resisted in the same spirit. A regard to the in-
terestt of the Church—a regard to the interests of the
'country at large, forbade such an interference with the ec-
clesiastical property of Ireland. He hoped the reprece4ta-
tires of the people in that House never could be brought
to consent to any measure which would make the Church
of Ireland mere stipendiary officers dependent upon the
Government. He trusted that they would give the Church
the same security for their, properties that the aristocracy
or the landholders had for their landed possessions, and
that they would invest them with the same powers and
opportunities of improving the revenues and condition of
their estates. Ile trusted that the House of Commons
would show at once that 'they were determined to give to
the Members of the Church that controul over their pro-
perty which must secure to them the same respectability
of station, and the same independence of the Crown' which
the possessions of the landed proprietor gave to him, and
that if the Hon. Member had still any notion floating-in
his mind, the House would speedily satisfy him they were
determined to protect the rights of that Corporation of
which the Bishops are the highest members.
After a few words from lord SANDON in snppOrt of
the' motion, and from Mr. STANLEY expressive of his
desire to support the rights of the. Church, and disclaiM-
ing all participation in the view of the Hon. Member for
Montrose, leave was given to bring in the Bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the:EXCHEQUER obtained
leave to bring in a Bill to carry into effect the' stipulations
of a conventiin between his Majesty and the Kitig of
Spain, for the settlement of British and Spanish
In answer to a question from Mr. JEPHSON,
Lordy GOWER said, he would bring forward such
portion of the Irish Estimates to-morrow, as pressed for
discus ion.
Sir GEORGE MURRAY, gave notice that he would
move to-morrow for leave to bring in a Bill as a temporary
measure fur the Swan RiverSettlenient..
COMMITTEE- OF SUPPLY.

- The CHANCELLOR of the EXC4EQUER moved
the Order of the Day, for receiving the Report of the
Committee Of Supply.
. Mr. HUME deprecated the system of keeping np a war
expenditure in a time of peace. The sums in the Reso-
lutions amounted to 2,338,600/., an amount far too great
for the present situation of the country.
Mr.'l%l AB ERLY also protested against the large amount
of expenditure, and complained that the Finance Com-
mittee was i:ot revived; for the purpose of pursuing its im-
portant and arduous inquiry.
After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER and Mr. Maiszorx; the Report was brought
up, and the Resolutions Were Severally read and comciderc.d.
Mr. HUME and Mr. MABERLY concurred in com-
plaining of the lavish expenditurein the works at Windsor
Castle and Buckingham Palace, reapecting which pledges
• •
by Ministers bad been given which
,had not been fulfilled.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed
that when once an old building was opened fur the purpOse
of repairing it, it was difficult to know where the expense
would end. ' It was some Satisfaction, however, that when
Nl:incisor Castle was completed it would be one of the most
beautiful- buildings in this or any- other country. He
trusted, therefore, that it would not be left in an imperfect
,stag.. He adniitted that a further sum would be wanted
raise the Round Totter, 'Ace.; the
,amount of irh cli be
amid not exactly state, as the Commissioners had not' made
,fir report. The expence of BUckingham Palace had also
'Wen greater than was anticipated. He could assure the
