The House having resolved itelfinto a Committee
of Supply,
Mr. W. W. POLE moved the following Resolu-
tions, which were agreed
to—
For the Prosecution pf Felons, .C 2,500.
For Criminal Pros?cutions, A:2S,LO°. •
For the expenses ot Fratique in the Putt of Dufribis £4047*
For Treasory Inddcats £4OOO.
For defraying Lottery Expenses, £1,476.
For first Fruits, £1 0,000.
For Non-tosilorming hlinhters, £9.481.
For Seceding Ministets, £441.
For defraying the Eapersres rucorred by the Trustees of the
Linen and Hemp Manufacturers,
For the Commissioners appointed to suprly lugs, £3,9C0.
For Howtb Hat buur, Xstr,ooo.

.Ctu,ooo.
For the Farming society, £5OOO.
For the Cwk ln.;itution, £3,500.
for the Protestant Charter &hinds, £41,509.
Upon this Resolution a discussion took place, in
which
Mr. HUME suggested the propriety of extending.
the new system at education to the lower class ot
people in Ireland, who wire now in a state of extreme
ignorance. He proposed, that out of the schools one
ot two boys should be selected fur the' purpose of be-
ing instructed, according to the new system, in read-
ing, writing, and arithmetic ; this would not take
more than two years and three months, and they
would then be competent to extend their knowledge
to others. This plan would give the benefit of edu-
cation to many mere than were sow instructed, while
it would not require a greater expense than, as things
now stood, was at present incurred.
Mr. POLE said, that the observations of the Ho-
nourable Gentleman were not applicable to this ques-
tion which related to the Protestant Cherter Schools,
and not to the people of Ireland in general.
-After a few words from Mr. FITZGERALD, Mr. W.
SMITH, and Mr. GItATTAN, the Resolution passed,
For the Foundling Bolin', £30,250.
Fe; the House of Industry, £41,902..
For the Hibernian School, 413
.666.
For the Marine Society, £2,856.

For the College of Surgeons, £s,4u6.
For the Green-coat Hospital, at Cork, for the Education of
Soldiers' Children, £7OO.
For the College of hlayuooth, £8,975.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT, when this last grant was
' proposed, rose and offered many arguments to the
Committee for increasing the sum. The discussion
which took place on this subject, though carried on
with spirit, was not distinguished by any considerable
degree of novelty from that of last year on a similar
occasion. The Honourable Baronet, who took the
lead in the debate, seemed to think, that the conse-
; quence. of confining the grant to the precise estimate
were not seen by the Conimittee, or it they were that
they would-vote tor the extension of the grant. As
the sources of Roman Catholic education were dry-
! ing top on theCoatiuent, it was necessary to make up
• for that deficiency in the numbers of the Priestlier( d,
which was' likely every year to become greater and
greater. The Irish population was 'increasing, and
demanded an additional supply of Cergymen to mi-
rester to their • spiritual wants. It was at all times
highly advisable to educate the Clergy of the Roman
Catholic persuasion. at home, to preserve them free
from foreign influence and foreign attachments, but
particularly so at present. Tne estitilishment of
Maynooth he thought very inadequate to the purpose
of a proper supply. Two hundred Members, -the
number of the students by the present regulations,
'afforded forty for the priesthood every year, even
supposing that none of the 2(X) should adopt a diffe-
rent profession. Allowing five years for their com-
plete education, this would supply, independent of
casualties, but forty; but, according to an accurate
table of reckoning, the discovery of price on a subject
perfectly analogous to the present, the number neces-
sary every year would be in the proportion of fifty.
nine and one-haW. He would ask the Gentlemen on
the opposite bench, whether they would, as moral
men, ley their hands on their hearts and sty that dry
could on justifiable motives withhold religicus instruc-
tion from so great a proportion of the people; for the
question was not between the Protest int and the CA.
t h religion, the idea of conversion having been given
; but was;whether a large proportion of the people
of Ireland *ere to have the benefit of the Catholic, or
be left entirely destitute of all religious instruction
The Parliament in 1807 bad sanctioned the grant of
a larger sum ; and if increase was necessary in other
items of the estimate, on account ef the de 'mess of
provisions, and other causes, as stated by the Right
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pole), he thought the Lime
reasons might be given for an increase in this depart-
ment. The Roman Clergy of Ireland he &se, ibed
to be a body of men el exemplary lives, pious, assi-
duous, and applying fiemselves const intly to supply;
the spiritual wants, and, as far as in their power,.
the temporal necessities of their people. The interest ,
of the empire required that an adequate provision
should be made for the instruction (.f the Roman
Catholic population of Ireland. Do not Lay that
flattering unction to your souls, that you can make
them Protestants by a deprivation of the means ef
practising to the Roman Catholic Religion. He
concluded with moving as an Amendment, that
,C 13,000 should be grauted, as in 1307, insteed of
the sum proposed,
Mr. Secretary RYDER opposed the extended
grant. He was against it, because be ileitight the
College ofMaynooth actuated by a spirit ot pi osely-
tisrmeiangerous to the Established Church. It was
contrary to principles of bound policy to be over
liberal to Dissenters of any kind, and it never had
been practised. He would vote for the original sum,
because it was the usual sum
.granted.
Colonel DILLON spoke in favour of the Amend-
ment, and argued against the impolicy of withhold-1
ing what the necessities of theCatholicEstablishment
actually required. He was surprised at the observe.
tions which fell front the Secretary of the Home De.
payment. The People of Ireland would judge of the
spirit and teoper of the Hcuse by their conduct on
this night.

General TARLETON said, Weeden Beck might

Weeden Beck was too near the metropolis.
complained that all the horse artillery were on
toast.

WARD said, that to console farther the Ho-
li,ontable General, be would assure him, there were
.ers 9f cannon at Weeden Beck ; that there
also a troop of Horse Artillery.
'FREMANTLE complained, that there was an
of nearly 5e150,000 this year, without any
it danger to call for' it.

WARD acknowledged that stores to the
of 3E77,000 had been lost.
HUSKISSON made some observations, in
hti pirticularly noticed the sum of .1E52,000
rks at the Pigeon-house, Dublin. He inferred
the statements, that this was only a part of the

estimate of the whole cost of every plan accom-
kg the proposition for its adoption.
WARD said, that recently a regulation had
made, by which engineers throughout the ern.,

of the expense likely to be incurred by their

The llemery gun-brig has arrived at Yarmouth,
with intell;gence that there are lying in the Ten!,
ready for a start, fivc sail of the line besides frigates.
Their first object is said to be Heligoland, after which
they will proceed for the Island of Anholt.

Mr. WARD last night brought forward the Ord-
nance .I.:tini:ites in Supply. They exceed those of
last 'year by £258,000 ; but this was satisfactorily
explained to be rather a nominal than a real increase
of cxpence, as the greater part of it arises from the
transfer of charges to the Ordnance Estimates, which
were formerly brought forward in another way.
Every attelition appears to have been paid to econo-
my. A cea%iderable diminution has been made on
many of the items, and taking into the account the
exported orcinanee, which is to be paid for, on the
whole of the estimates it may be said not only that
there is in point of fact no increase, but that a very
considerable diminution has been effected.

His Majesty's ship MELPOMENE, of Vi,guns, sailed
from Plymouth for Lisbon, on Sunday, having on
board one company of the Royal Artillery.
The ships rf war At Spithead, ande es fate, are
ordered to get in readiness to take the Marine Battalion,
Major R. WILLIAMS. to North America. Ti:is
Rell-
disciplined fine body of men disembarked at Ports-
mouth last week, and took part of the g arisen duty.
The embarkation of the draft ftnnt the 2d batta-
lion 921 regiment at Banff, for Po, tugal, took place
on Monday se'nnight at one o'clock r. to. on board
thki Res elution armed smack, of that port, bound for
Gravesend, to join the battalion of that regiment,
comm coded by Lieutenant-General the Horwurable
Sir Jotim Hope, K. B. The embarkation was con-
ducted in the true military style; the hand and drums
attended- them to the place of embarkation, playing
martial airs. The different quays, and the heights
above the harbour, covered with the inhabitants, the
band and drums at the pier-head playing the British
grenadiers, the draft cheering as the vessel was going
out of the harbour, and returned by theif comman.
der the! left behind, and the inhabit ints of the t, iwn
from the different quays and the surrounding heights,
made the whole a most gratifying sight.

The two List sets of dispatches forwarded by Mr.
Russet. for Mr. JOEL Bani.ow, by cartes to Morlaix,
it will be learnt with surprise, have been intercepted,
and this Gentleman has, we believe, determined to
send no further communications to France until Cie
cause be explained.

Yesterday, the Ger'tlemen concerned in Wines,
Silks, and various other branches of business, waited
on the Board of Trade, to acquire correct informa-
tion as to the c;rcumstances under which Licences
are conceded for the commerce with France 4

The following are the conditions notified by the
French Gove: nment, viz. from Dunkirk and Ostend :
0 ze third 01 the value of the cargo exported is to consist of
the I.rance, and the other two thirds to be composed of
1.41,11 Cloth', PorcelaineWares, Clover Seeds, or lucerne Seeds.
" The artie:es impnred are to be either Raw Sugar, Coffee,
Indto, Cotton, Pepper, Cocoa, Cochineal, Tea, Dyeing Woods,
or Mch!icit:al Drugs ; and styli importv are not to be more tlum
equal in va:ue to the exports fro* France."

Six Imperial Licences have been granted to divers
perts of France for the exportation of Wine :
" For each ton of Wine may be imported, either kilia-
, griMS of kart Sugar, or 1000 ditto Coffee, or 75 ditto Indigo,
or 1100. Midis."

Five Licences have been signed for Hamburgh,
on the subsequert terms :
" Ore third of the vtlue of the c7r7:l exported from trance is
to cnt-:it of French silkk, the c!,rr two thirds to be composed
f lil,tl cloth of Wes:phana or Osnabruck, or hm,s' bristles of
the co•Antry, Porcelains ware, eke& works, or jewc.lery.
" 'i he articles Imported arc to be either raw sugar, coffsp,
cotton, indigo, pepper, cocoa, cochineal, tea, hides, dyeing woods

" 7 he import: are to be not more than equal to the expors.
The ships are to rroeeed on the first voyage within two months
of the date of the I,ctnces on ra'n of forfeiting such liccqces."
iiprn the subject tif Mr. Ross's Parish Register
which is now before the House of Commons,
the Episcopal Bench is said to be divided. Some of
the Right Rev. Prelates strongly object to the prin-
ciple of petrnitting the names of Dissenters to rank
in the same columns of parochial registration with
those of Churchmen ; while others of them conceive
that the benefit resulting from such a legislative mea-
sure ought to be indiscriminately and impartially ex-
tended to all descriptions of his Majesty's4subjects ;
and this we are inclined to believe is the opinion like.
wise of the A uthor of the. Bill, as well as of the mi.
ginal projector of the plan, who is a Clergyman of
the established Church.
PANTIIEON OPERA.—This splendid house commen-
ced last night its system, as finally arranged, which
is, to play every Monday and Thursd*y, in order that
,it may not interfere with the Haymarket Theatre.—
The performance went off with eche, and the House
displayed a full and fashionable attendance.
LYCEUM TUEATRE.—The new farce Turn Out was
repeated last night at this .Theatre : it went off with
eclat. The House was crowded toexcess with a bril-
i-liant audience.

With some of the finest images that dignify poetry,
and some of the most beautiful touches of nature, the
Play, or rathei Dramatic Poem of Julius Cerdr, so
lingers through its five acts, that nothing but the
united talents of YOUNG and the two KEMRIAS could
keep an audience awake. We feel little interest for
assassins and suicides, but we feel uncommon plea-
sure in the discovery, that the genius of the player
can illuminate the classical dullness of the scene.
The long-depending suit in Chancery•, Viscount
IvlttsmrowN v. Earl of PORTN:ORE, has been deter-
mined in favour of the Earl of PORTMORE, with costs.

Leger.—Very little betting.
BREAD.—No Court of Aldermen this day. The
Lord Mayor, after inspecting the Returns, ordered
it to rise 2d. per Peck Loaf.
A few days since, a girl, 12 years old, daughter of
Mr. Marshall, publican, of Kilham, being sent upon
a message to ti,e mill of Mr. Hutchinson, of that
place, while walking in _he gallery was struck by one
of the sails, with such 'violence, that she was killed on
the spot. .
Sunday evening the apartments of Mr. Childrey, in
Church lane, Bethnal-green, were forcibly entered,
and articles to the value of about £l5 stolen.
