Last night the Marquis of LONDONDERRY made his
promised moticn in the House of Commons on the
subject of Agricultural Distress. His Lordship did
not, however, merely confine himself to measures
connected with the Agricultural Report only, but
announced various reforms and innovations in our
financial system, the most important of which were,

Ist, A plan for reducing the present burden of the Pension
List, by distributing the pensions over a number of years, and
offering a corresponding fixed annuity to monied men who would
advance the sum now required, beyond the average of the whole
period, with a view to benefit afterwards from the decrease ;1
2dly, An extension of the period for allowing country Banks to
issue small notes to 1853, the termination of the Bank of Eng-
land Charter; and sdly, Liberty to country Banks sixty-five
miles or more distant from London, to adopt the principle of the
Scotch Banks, with respect to partnerships, that is, to ►e with-
out limitation with respect to the number of partners ; in con-
sideration of which, the Bank of England Charter to be extended
for ten years beyond 1855 in London and its vicinity.

In order to afford some relief to the Agricultural
interests, his Lordship proposes that the sum of
£1,000,000 should be advanced on British corn in
warehouse, when the average price shall be below
60s. That the owners of foreign corn now in ware-
house be permitted to grind it for the purpose of ex-
portation. The Ports to be opened when the home
price shall be 80s. and continue open until it be
below 70s. While the price shall be between those
sums, a duty of 12s. and an additional ss. for the
first three mouths, Such is the plan proposed by his
Lordship, the further discussion of which is fixed
for Friday.

The Paris Journals of Friday have been received, but they
do not contain a single paragraph worth quoting, unless the KING
of FRANCS having conferred letters of Nobility on 1141. M. Roots
and LACIRITZLIN the younger, can be considered as such. His
Christian hlaaftry has, in this instance, given a flat contra-
diction to his acknowledged taste and love of literature. hl.
Rota has written one comedy, called the dlexat ; but his re-
commendation was, probably, his dexterous flatteries of the
Bouamats in his discoveries as a Member of the Institute. AI.

Lacareaux has written the history of France for a certain
period; in which, te gratify and gain BomArAsTs, he charged
the English Government with having procured the assassination
of CHAZLIIS XII. of Sweden; and to gain the Bouesous, he has
recently published, under the name of a history, a piece of
studied and gross detraction of the Constituent Assembly.

This forenoon we received a German Mail, bringing Frankfort
and other Papers to the 24th inst. They are entirely silent as
to the affairs of Russia and Turkey. A paragraph from Vienna
states that a Congress will meet in that city in September next.
There is a long article from the Oriental Spectator relating to the
Greeks who Bed from Ayrali in June last, when that town was
burnt to ashes.

It states that they had sett'ed in a neighbouring island, but
living a life of wretchedness, and that they had recently peti-
tioned the SULTAN, representing their desire of commiseration.
Thisis singular enough ; but what Is still more so, Is, that the SvIL
TAN has replied to them " in the most paternal mariner."—
His Sublimity says that be is acquainted with everything that
has passed; that he willingly consents that they should return to
their country and their dwellings; which we were previously
told were burnt to ashes. llis Sublimity, however, reminds
than, that as his troops arc marching through the place, there
might be some danger to them as Greeks, if they returned.

The same Paper has also an account of an affray at emyrna,
between a Turk and a Creek, which ultimately drew the inter-
ference of the French Conszd.

The city of Frankfort is reducing the interest of the City
Bonds nom five to four per cent.

v/FNN Aram 16.—The Metalliques were rated to-day at
74i—Actions of the Dark, 660.

The Make and Duchess of Avnet.t., and Lady SARAN, are ar-
rived in town, from the Isle of Man.

We understand that the trial of Mr. JAMIC6 STUART. who was
concerned b the late unfortunate duel in Scotland, is fixed for
the latter end of next month. The :17th is mentioned as the day.
DRURY-LANK TUKATIM.—Last night Mists (Arma (daughter
of the respectable actress of that name) made her first appearance
in public in the character of Julia. The interest which she ex-
cited was manifeated thtout;hout the Piece by the lt•ud and uni-
versal applause of one of the most numerous audiences of the
season; and, when it was announced that she would repeat her
performance, the information was hailed with the same marks ut
approbation. Mrs. Georan, notwithstanding the anxiety which
her maternal feelings must have led her to experience, gave full
taut to the .Nat.... &e 431014 C4Coll;iit is, {WM filiJ.
