tWattiW herivwsuch corporeal punishment was kept down,
vifisther the Hon. Member would have any objection to
iiy before the House a return-of the number of persons
sentenced so receive one thousand lashes and more dor-
insethtl.st fear? He had received some information
upen the subject; but would not mention regiments
w*b. hcl been poUted out to him for fear he might
Isave been misinfQrmed.

After a few observations from Mr. TRANS,
• :flie HENRY H A RDINGE said, that although it was
trtve that spore of the Courts-martial bad the power of
1044 corporeal punishment, even to the extent of
one thousand lashes, yet it should be understood, that
web esentence was rarely, if ever, carried into effect,
the object of the Court being rather to excite a terror
sentence than actually to inflict the punishment.
Bathe was happy to state that the necessity of inflict-
Irrroorporeal punishment was now rapidly decreasing,
as he knew it to be a fact that in many regiments of
isfiitiaiils of eight hundred men not more than one or
two had ever been subjected to the lash. The Honour-
able Member for Aberdeen had asked him if he should
object to lay before the House a statement c.f. the
Otimberuf instances in which corporeal punishments bad
ben. inflicted in the army within the last year, and in
what regiments they had. taken place. He begged to say
that he did certainly object to such a measure.He thought
ih4lt;would. be the unnecesary occasion cf placing.the
names :ref. Officers before the public in a light which
Might be prejudicial to them, as the popular voice was
known to bealmost entirely adverse to the infliction of
OWfife:4 Puitisilment of any kind, however just the cause
whis,b might have given rise to it. It bad already been
said that no semenceof a court-martial could be cat tied
into .ffect until it had the sanction of the Commander
hi tiger; and, as be was undoubtedly the beSt judge of
the .Iqa•ter, be thought that nothing better could be
done. than to.lestve k in his hands; he 'would take careto
seetbat the officers composing the court martial did
not 'inlet a punishment. too great for the offence.—
Under these circumsances, he begged to inform the
ticenutable Member that his wishes and desires upon
the subject could not be fulfilled.
• Afire-some fuither conversation between the HA..
Meniber for Aberdeen and Sir HENIMHARDING4 the
question was put, and the Bill ordered to be reed a
third time to-morrow.
• The Exchequer Bills Bin was read a third time, and passed.
14se Mutiny Dill was read a third time, and passed.
Mr. THANT presented ais Petitions from different parts of
England against any further concessions to the Romeo Catholics.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
Masi hdPuilied at a quarter to Ten takopc.

His Grace the Duke' f WILLINGTOII made what is
called an energetic speech last night, in answer to some
strong observations which. Lord WINCHILSZA bad of
feeed on the measures now in progress in the, other.
Housed His Grace is reported to have said that thole
measures were introduced with the consent and support
of thelatio. We are not aware that it had ever
been asserted that his MAJESTY had not given his
consent to the measures, but it has been contended,
and ,we believe thite is no doubt of the fact, that
such content was wrung most unwillingly from
the Royal breast, and' was the effect of ever_ahelm-
ing circumstances,. not of 'the deliberate judg.
ment of his mind; and we believe we may as con-
fidently add, that it the people rally round the Throne,
and prove to his MAJESTY that they are decidedly op-
pined to this BREAKING IN t'PON rill CoximutioN,
the KING will jolfully withdraw that 4, consent And
support" which lie mo,t. UNWILLINGLY and CONDI..
TIGNALLY was induccd to give to the proposals of his
Slinisters. '

It is with greatßegret we have learnt that his
MAJESTY has beeh ittdirsed for some days. The
anxiety which Ms Ma'am hat stagged upon the sub-
ject which no+ occupies the exclusive attention of his
subjects, it stpted to be the cause of his indisposition,
which , prevents his MAJESTY from giving audience -to
any of those Noble Peers-who have solicited admission
to' the ttoyil presence, for the purpose of respectfully
expressing 'their sentiments upon the measures now
Wore Parliatuent. Stirsly this circumstance alone
ought to forbid haste 'in pushing these Bills through
the Legislature.

WiTHERELL. who prefers abiding by his principles to
the sacrifice of them at rise shrine.of ambition or,wealth.
Sir N. C. Timms. owed-his election lot the University
of Cambridge principally to his. opposition to
tholic Emancipation, for although possessed of sound
legal knowledge, and enjoying the good opinion of
his friends, he would never have been placed in that
post of honour but as the champion of .a particular
party. Whether when he abandoned his former opi-
nions on that question, he ought not to have resigned
the trust which had been confided to him by vacating
his seat, is a question which we shall not now enter into.
It is sufficient to know that bis seat will be vacated by his
acceptance of a higher office,- which he receives as the
reward of his abandonment of his former `principles
Under such circumstances, it becomes the duty of every
Member of the University, who remains true to those
principles which Sir N. C. Tvisnal. has abandoned, to
use his most strenuous exertions to place another and a
firmer Mend of the Protestant cause in the post which
he has filled. Such a person is to be found in Mr•
GliOlios &MESS* who has again avowed himself a
candidate for the representation of the University; and
we confidently rely on the Members returning him by
a large majority, as well for the sake of consistency as
for that of 'ha Constitution as now by law established.

The German Papers received this morning contain
no intelligence of the slightest political importance.—
We subjoin a few extracts:

We hear that the banister of the Interior yesterday dispatched
an express to Venice with the joyful news that his Majesty the
Emperor has listened to the wishes of the faltbful Venetians, and
has declared the harbour of Venice a free port. This important
measure will doubtless contribute in a very great degree to revive
the prosperity of that city.

CITY. Twzr.va o'CLocc.
C 20.0111 opened this morning at $6l 87 for .the Account, with
scarcely a bargain doing.
The Foreign market is in the same state of stagnation as that of
the British, except kleakan Stock, whisk is rather lower, owing
to the unfavourable accounts received yesterday Iran Bordeaux.
CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

The Cansol market continues in the same state of inactivity as
in the early part of the morning, with a fluctuation of about per
cent. Ten thousand has been done at 87, since which they hive
resumed their former price, 86& 87. and for Money 86J

We now find that the cause of the rise in the French Renter is
owing to the French Government having borrowed of the Bank
of France six millions sterling, instead of making a loan.

Nothing worth observation in the Foreign Market.

COURT. CIRCULAR.

The Princess SOPHIA MATILDA came to town yes-
terday morning, from ha residence on Blackheath, to spay her

- QUEEN OF PORTUGAL.

-
Yesterday was celebrated, in the Chapel of the Por-
tuguese Embassy, South Audiey•street, a funeral service for the
late Pope Leo XI I. The ceremony was splendid and imposing.
It was attended by a great number of the Portuguese resident to
London. and by other persons of the Roman Catholic Communion.
Bat the impdthig nature and solemn character of the ceremony
were not the only attractions which the Chapel presented to
grangers. Her Moat Faithful Majesty, the young Queen of Pon.
room., attended the Service, and evinced a devotion extraordinary
and edifying for her years. Indeed, the propriety of her conduct
is no lest an object of admiration than the precocity of her talent.
The grea:er number of the Portuguese Nobility, Military OSCOnis
and periona of distinction now in Louden seised the opportunity
of paying their homage to their young Sovereign in the•hoase.of
the Embassy, after the conclusion of the Service. •
It is a singular coincidence, that not many years•ago, the present
Xiligolsen banished from his dominions, performed bis devotions
in the same Dupe', and in the same pew where the young Queers
of Portugal—herself an exile yesterday appeared among bee
exiled and persecuted subjects.
