MISCELLANIES.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved for a return of all sums of
money levied in the several parishes of Ireland for building and re-
pairing churches, together with the rates of assessment, salaries of
clerks and other officers, and the number of persons constituting the
vestries making such assessments, for the last twelve years.
Mr. GOULBURN thought these would be very troublesome
and even unnecessary accounts; in fact their number would amount
to 2500 multiplied by V.
After a few words from Sir J. NEwroar and Mr. Goutau RN, the
returns were ordered. _ _

Sir JOHN NEWPORT also moved for a return of the num-
ber of cathedrals in Ireland consolidated with parish churches, to-
gether with the amount of rates in such parishes for repairs, under
the Act Bth of Geo. 11. His view in making this motion was to
ascertain, since the people were taxed, in what manlier those taxes
or assessments were levied.—Papers ordered.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT wished to know whether the Right
Honourable Gentkman would have any objection to a motion he
had to make relative to Inlaid?
Mr. GOULBURN asked what was it about? what its items?

Sir JOHN NEWPORT said he wished it to embrace a return
of the baronies, houses, families, and other items connected with
the population of Ireland. The Honourable Baronet here handed
the paper on which the motion was written to Mr. Goulburn
across the table.

trates, Constables, at.d Sub-constables appointed under the Conga-
bulan Act, gassed in 18:42; tooher with the religion of each,

whether Protestant or Catholic ; the name, of mach Conqtah/es as
bad been tried for offences committed in the execution of their duty,
distinguishing the names of those acquitted, the places where the
said offences occurred, those now under confinement, &c. &e.
Mr. GOULBURN said, the only part of the Return that pre.
genteel any difficulty, was that respecting the religion of the parties.
Mr. GRAWAN said, be apprehended that there could be no
difficulty in making out the Return, if application were mash in the
proper quarter. It might be easily ascertained from the Z.lagi.
strata. It was ♦try important that this part of-the motion shetid
be complied with.—The Return was oplered.
On the motion of the same HonourabfeGentiefnan, a Return w
ordered of the number of persons committed-rder the Insurrec-
tion Act from January, 1823, to February, 1824, the nature of tee

between the Secretary of State for the Honie Department and the
Visiting Magistrates of Prisons in which the Tread-mill is us..l.

Tread-mill being injurious, it was found that in all prisons where
it had been introduced, the health of the prisoners was nitwit inv.
proved.—Ordered.

The French Papers of Wednesday evening have
reached us. The only article of intelligence they ccn-
tain is a report from Madrid, stating that Government
had received intelligence of a violent insurrection in the
Philippine Islands.

The following gratifying account of the prospects of
the Greeks is translated from the Frankfort Papers,
which readied us this morning to the Ist inst.

TRIESTE, JANUARY 17.
A ship has arrived here in eleven days from Zante.
According to. the private letters which we have received
through this channel, Maurocordato is stated to have
appeared, on the Sd of this month, with a division of
the Greek fleet, before Patras, while Colocotroni pressed
the fortross on the land side. Jussuf Paella, the Go.
venor, is said to have made proposals to evacuate the
place, on being allowed to proceed, without hindrance,
with the garrison to Smyrna; but that these terms were
not accepted. This intelligence, however, stands in
great need of confirmation, as well as that of the cap•
cure by Maurocordato of two vessels, having on board
fugitives, with money for Patras.
Others letters say, that a Greek ship has fetched Loa
Byron from Cephalonia, and conveyed him to Miss.-
longhi.
