the practice of boring widows in India.
• A Petition to the bite effect was presented by Sir CAM • LSI
• Foists froskliase Belford, and another by Sir Jour linast.ar trim
• place in Sussex.
Di. LUSHINGTON presented a Petition from the
creditors of a man named Richard Howton, complain-
ing that he had shut himself up in his house for the put-
vise of evading his creditors, declaring that there was
no law by which they could make him a bankrupt
against his will. The Petitioners stated that they had
taken the opinion of Counsel, and found that they could
loot compel him to become a bankrupt: inconsequence'
of which they were obliged to compound with him for
less than lie used them. The Learned Gentleman ob-
served
that he knew one of: the Petitioners, and would
vouch for the correctness of the statement.
• •The SOLICITOR GENERAL wished to know if
.the indiaitlual petitioned agai.ist had shut Up his bOli.
If so, he had committed an act of bankruptcy ? . . •
LUSHINGTON said, he had not shill op his
house. All be had done was, to shut himself from the
view -of his creditors, dee( rrirg his determination not to
be made a bankropt.
The. Petition was brought up, and ordered to lie
upon the ruble.
The Iteport ettbe New South Wales Bill was brought up ; the
Amendments were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be reeds
third time on Monday.
The Game Certificates Bill was read a third time, and passed.
Sir C: IIURItELL said he bad no objec ion to
passing of this Bill, only he begged to observe, that it
ought to hese been printed before the third reading
took'place, according to the usage of. the House.
Mr. HERR lES observed, that so far from printing
Bills being a custom which ought to be tollowed., in
point of fact it wss a departure from the general rule ;1
and he need scarcely ob erve, that it was only necessary
to print Bilis the provisions of which revired particu-
lar attention.
Mr. STURGES BOURNE said, that with all our
prole,sions of economy, we were guilty of great extra-
vagance in sanctioning the printing of so many peti-
tions—(Hear.) The petitions, for instance, against the
'Test and Corporation Acts had swelled to an enormous
height, although of necessity they were all in the same
terms. If Gentlemen were to look at the Bills for
'printing at the end of every Session, they would be sur-
prised at their amount.
The Brazil Slive BM was committed, and the report ordered to
.be takes imocoosideradon on Monday.
Mr. DUNDAS presented a Petition from the Maitsters of
Edinburgh, praying for relief.
Sir JOHN SHELLEY presented a Petition from a place in

It will be seen by our Corn Etchange letter of this
morning, that another ir.crease•of 5-. the quarter has
taken place in the vice of Wheat. with an appearance
of a further advance. This, we regret to say. is another
practical illustration of the Atenchnent introduced pro
4he late Cora Bill by the Duke of WILLLINGTON.
'vale letters from Madrid of the 4th of Tune, re-
, ceiv•ai this moaning by the French Mail, contradict the
'report that it was intended to dissolve the Army of
Occupation without any delay. On the contrary they
'vepresent its dissolution as contingent on the issue of the
negotiations new peading balween Spain and Portugal.
iif any credit be due to these letters. the French, so
'far from -waist-mining any idea of evacuating Spain,
•are • taking .measures that plainly indicate a con-
• rtrarrdeteresinatinn. for example. they are strength-

•-i•niirg the works and `the garrison of Pampeluna ;
but it will be seen that a statement to the same
fivct is placed an.ongst the lies of the day by the &ale
of Saturday last. 4f we are to believe the same letters,
the insurrection in Catalonia and Arragon defies all the
eftsrts hitherto made by the Spani,h GJverament to put
it down, sad the latter is so alarmed at ice progress,
ttaat•it has order!!! two regiments of cavalry and three
Airtight infantry, belonging to the Army of Occupation,
en proceed by forced -marches to those two provinces.
We aospeot, however, that there is some exaggera•
ties in this socoent, both as respects the progress
ag"vice iacertection, *ad the amount of zee, detached

from the Army of Obsetratioa, who are estimated
at about eight thousand men, or. in other words, two-
thirds of that army. After sech an order, whirls would
Issit virtual dissolution .of this new carp samitaire, it
wesrld be absurd on the part of the Spanish Govern-
ment to make its disbandment matter of negotiation.
These letters also allude to the autograph correspondence
noticed in the French papers, between the Kings of ENG-
LAND and FRANCA, and his Catholic Majesty, M which
tilers former emphatically press upon him the necessity
of mitigating the rigour of his present rule, and r f assimi.
lasing in some measure, his Government to that-of his
Most Christi-an Majesty. It will be seen, however, on
reference to our French extracts, that the Etoik disposes
of this report in as unceremonious and uncourteous
a manner as that respecting Pampeluna.

Letters from 'Toulon, re:eived this morning, again
state that the most active preparations were going for-
ward in that port, to get ready the ships destined for sea.

The Paris Papers, reerivtd this mor sling, contain the
whole of the Treaty of Commerce between France
and. Mexico ; but it is too voluminous for inser-
tion: besides we gave the substance of it before.—
The first Article of the Treaty is as follows :—" There
shall esist between France and the United States of
Mexico amity and friendship, with reciprocal liberty of
commerce. The inhabitants of each nation can proceed
with• their shipping and e,rgoes to every pmt, river,
and to every place where strangers ire admitted, sod
there remain and occupy houses and warthouses to carry
on their. commerce ; and every merchant of 'each State
shall have protection, and be at full liberty to act."

We received this morning Brussels Papers to th 16th
instant. They quote, after a Frankfort Journal, letters
from Vienna of the sth instant, according to which a
courier had arrived there on that day from Trieste with
the intelligence of the defeat of the Greeks before
Athens. It is further stated that General CHURCH was
wounded in the action ; and it will be seen from oar
extracts Irons the Paris Papers, which reac'.ed us last
night, that Lord COCHRANE had on the same occasion
a very narrow escape from the enemy. h is poker,
however, to remark, that all th-se particulars still test
upon the single authority of the Algemeine :Leasing,
whose inaccuracies have been long proverbial, and
that they are derived, according to its own sheav-
ing, from two sources, peculiarly suspicious, Trieste
and Spa, the former under the Austrian jutis-
diction, whi'st• the latter from a collision of religious
feeling, the greater part of its pspulation consisting of
Roman Catholics, entertains* rancorous hostility to the
Greeks. It i• true, the Paris Papers, which arrived last
night, contain accounts from Constantinople o! the 25th'
ult. agreeing in substance with the news from Syra.
by the way of Trieste ; but they are also copied-
-from the Algenseine Zeitung,, and from 'the: charac-
ter of the latter Journal, we should not feel at alj
surprised, should they prove apocryphal. In the
pest 1,40, the date is extremely suspicious, and in the
next, the place where the Exp•ess atrived•is not men
tioned. Now we have a moral assurance in the silence
of the Austrian Observer, that no Express had arrived in
that capital, in sufficient time to be known by the Al
gerneine Zaire:. The fornset Journal, from the 3J to
the 6th inst. inclus;ve,does not contain a word of news.
from Greece; and this omission, besides strengthening
our opinion, respecting the Exple,s, is almost fa•al to the
rerot t from Trieste by way of Syra, and entirely di 'credits
the rumour in the papers belote us, of the arrivsl of a
tourist at Vienna on the sth, with a confirmation t f that
rumour. Neither can the Express have reached Cie
French capital, for had it arrived the, e, some of the Papers
would have coot tined some notice of it ; and we may
positively affirm, that none has been received in Lon-
don. • Having thus disposed of the Express, we have
stripped the rum lured overthrow of the Greeks of r is
adventitious aid; an.l therefore the rumour still rests
upon the single authority of a Paper, notorious for its
inaccuracies, and a hich of late has subjected itself to the
suspicion of lending itself td the enemies of the Greeks.
Besides, if so decisive a battle had taken place on the
6th ult. as stated, we should have heard something
e' it through some other channel, such as Corfu or
Zantefnr example; and though there are advice: in the
Paris Papers, which arrived last night, from Z one, of
the 12th ult. they have not so much as an allusion to
the defeat of the Greeks; whilst on the contrary these
advices, without any forced construction, may be con-
sidered as favourable.

It appears from these Papets that the negnciations
with the See of It ,me for a Concordat for the Nether-
lands, continue to proceed very slowly.

It will be perceived from our Parliamentary Report,
that the House of Commons sat a short time on Satur-
day to forward some Bills in different stages.
His MAJESTY paid the most mat ked attention to Mrs.
CANNING in the Royal Booth, on the race•ground at
Ascot, oh Friday. Between the heats :1 e KING and the

ing on Saturday morning at the Council Once. The Meeting was

A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon,

noon, for his ..at in Coombe Wood. The bolds of his Lordship
lass considerably improved lately.
