Notwithstanding the conditions of the treaty of M. /Ceti
for the contract of the °anis duty, the officers employed in
its collection were, at a fired hour yesterday, disarmed at all
the banters of the capital; and, It Is said. that similar orders
were given fur the same operation in all parts of the king-
dom. It is asserted that this operation was determined upon
because M. Rica's new officers had rot submitted to a puri-
fication. It was, therefore, deetned dangerous to allow suspected
persons to remain under arms. :11. Itiera addresrod an energetic re-
presentation on the subject to the King, stating the impossibility of

The public watches the result of this affair with impatience.°
The Spanish Government has established a school of tauro.mach
(bull-fighting) at Seville. The Conde de la Estradelle, a Member
of the Supreme Council of ll'ar, and one of the greatest amateurs uf
bullfights, has proposed the plan of this useful institution, and has
been appointed Director of the 1.4111 e. The first professor of this
new-rangiest and fashionable Lyceum is the celebrated bull-fighter
and matador-killer, Candide, the disciple and pupil of the famous
Pepe Yllo, who perished between the horns of a bull.— Journal du
Commerce.

• Considering the large sum, upwards of 100 millions of rentes,
thus likely to be diverted from the public treasury, this cccurrence
must have the most fatal influence on the credit and regeneration of
the finances of Spain.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—WEDNEsvAy.

Witnesses were examined at the bar in support of Shakerley's
Divorce Bill (the particulars of which will be found in another part
of our Paper.)
The Earl of SIAL3IESBURY moved for a series of returns of
the duties paid on malt and beer, specifying the amount of each
year, front the earliest period to the present time; also for the amount
of land-tax levied in 1828 in England and IVales, and the amount
redeemed.—Agreed to.
A petition was presented by a PEER whose tide we could not
ascertain, from Roxburgh, praying an additional duty of a shilling
a gallon on rum.
The Marquis ANGLESEY presented two petitions lion' An-
glesey against any alteration In Welch Judicature ; also three pe-
titions from parishes in Dublin, praying the abolition of the duties
on coals imported into Ireland.
Earl STANHOPE moved that In account of the expenditure
incurred by the preventive service, which, on the 25th of 31axe1i,
had been acceded to by the house, be funisheti 'forthwith.
After some observations from Viscount MELVILLE (who said
no objection whatever existed to producing the return,) suggesting
that the motion should undergo an amendment in the woraing of it,
as it was found difficult, not to say impowdbk, to comply with the
terms—

Earl STANHOPE said that, before submitting the motion to the
house, he showed the noble duke at the head of his majesty's go-
vernment the contents, who observed that there wu no objection to
the return. If, however, any ambiguity exiskd, the noble rail .aid
he should willingl amend the return.
Viscount MELVILLE reiterated what he bad previously .aid,
that there was no objection whatever to produce a return.
After some observations frees the Earl of MALBIESBURY, alto
bore his testimony to the efficiency of the preventive service in stop-
ping the traffic of smuggling in that part of the country with which
he was more particularly acquainted,
Earl STANHOPE again shortly addressed their lordships, con-
tending that the expenses of the preventive service had arisen out of
the adoption of what was called free trade.
The conversation then dropped.
Bari BROWNLOW presented a petition from Louth, in Litt.
colnshire, in favour of the Leeds and Selby Rail Road.
On the third reading of the Leather Tax Reduction Bill being
pre
I;l:ediarl of MALMESBURY hoped the consumer would de-
rive that advantage from the removal of the duty which was
imagined ; but he was apprehensive that such an expecta-
tion would not be realised; for he understood that shoe-
makers and harness-maker* contended that the abolition of
the duty would make very little or no difference in the price
of the ankle of leather. It ought to act as a caution to the Legis-
lature how they imposed a tax, for, when it was afterwards taken
off, the public did not dative that relief which they ought in justice
to receive. It was not unlike the loss of an arm ; for, although the
hand was gone, a tini:ling pain was felt in the naval connected with
the fingers.
The Bill was then read a third time, as well u others on the
table.

The Eol of SHAFTESBURY baying moved the second reading
of Sir Tl*ias Wilson's Estate Bill,
Lord MANSFIELD ruse, and moved as an amendment, " That
the bill be read a second that day six months." After speaking at
considerable length on the principle of the bill, and detailing a va-
riety of facts connected with the subject, the noble lord said that
object of the bill was to grant building leases of 91) years on the
Hampstead estate, which would prove highly injurious to many
of the copyholders residing in that pariah. The bill was a
similar one to what had passed the House of Lords the preceding
session, but which had been thrown out in the Commons._.
If the present bill should pus, the effect would be that Hemp-
stead heath would be covered with buildings, and prove highly in.
jurious to property in that neighbourhood. He trusted that their
, lordships would concur with him, and reject the bill. It was very
, desirable he conceived, that the heath at Hampstead should remain
free from buildings. It had been observed by the late Mr. Wind-
ham, that the Parks should not be built upon, for they constituted
the lungs of the metropolis. Since his time however, scone tuber-
des had arisen. In legislating, their lordships, he was persuaded,
would be anxious to do justice; and he felt enured that they would
agree with him in rejecting the present measure.
Lord ARDEN supported the bill, observing that, within the last
20 years, not less than 100 similar applications to the Legislature
I had been made and complied with. The petitivner had already the
power of granting building leases for 21 years, and he only sought
to exteral the period.
Lord TENTERDEN collected the intention of the testator, from
the words of the will, to be that the present possessor of the estate
should not have the power now sought, of extending the period fur
granting building leases ; and on this ground the noble and learned
I lad said he should oppose the second reading of the bill.
The house then divided; when there appeared, for the second
reading

inconvenience which had been long felt in Scotland for want of
such a measure as that whisk he had now the honour of recorn.
mending to their lordships, sad looped it would meet with their
approbation.
egViscount MELVILLE concurred its what the noble lord had
stated, of the necessity of having same *muse to obviate the in.
convenience which had been long felt respecting the want of pa.
rochial registration in Scotland. Thh was not the propel singe tu
discuss the propriety of some Amadei' which the bill would re-
quire ; awl, therefore, he would not trouble the beam with any re.
