ELECTION EXPENSES BILL.

Lord ALTHORIa moved the third reading of the
Election Expenses Bill.
Mr. CALCHAFT was under the necessity of opposing

the Bill. He considered it a very extranidinari mode
of disfranchising many persons, under pretence of
spating expense. By the provisions of the Bill no Coun-
sellor, Attorney, Agent, Poll Clerk, Flag-man, or Musi-,
ciao, who had taken remuneration for services could
vote. Col"urs were tint to be used, and every election
was to be carried on in a puritanical way, which must
destroy all the gaiety, spirit, and independent feeling
which had so long distinguished elections. It might be
said that persons who acted as agents and poll clerks
should not vote at elections, but it would be difficult to
fiod persons ready to enter into the interest of the Can
didates at Elections without a compensation. It was a
reflection on Gentlemen at the Bar to say, that taking
a fee deprived :hem of their votes.
Mr. H. GURNEY strongly opposed the Bill. He
did not wish to adopt hash Legislation. Ile considered
git nothing short of lolly to make an Englit'Election as

kmtpe a a meeting of Methnd;sts. The N. n. 1t m.

We have received New York and other Americus
Papers to the 9th inst. They contain no news of gnus%
interest. The appointment of Mr. CANNING as Prime
Minister was already known, lent :we cannot discover
what sensation it had produced.
A Philadelphia Paper of the 2J inst.bas the following
remarks :

" Our trade with Pens has for some time past leen corroder•
able, under circumstances very disadvantageous to both merchant'
and manufacturers, as higher duties are Imposed on American cat•

ton goods than those of European. By the Proclamation, it ty.
pears that after the first week in September the dudes are to tit
equalized, and that American merchants will be entitled to eatu
mato fair competition with the British."

Janeiro, in the Manorve, that tharplace is in a most deplersils
condition. The brig Spark, of this port, was seized by the Gone►

share the same fate."

We received this morning Hambargh Papers to the
26th instant, their contents are devoid of political ie.
terest. It appears front an article undei the head of
Stockholm, that extreme scarcity, with its usual coact.
askant sickness, prevails in some parts of Sweden. At
a place called Wenersberg, to such a state of starratios
are the inhabitants reduced, that they are obliged to
- •
use ground bones and chopped straw, with a Mil'
cure* of elder flowers, as a. substitute for bread CO.ra
The fare of a Swedish 'peasant' is generally very hard,
not from morals causes, but from the sterility of the
greater part of the soil, and the rigour of the climate
alone; yet,no where is the peasant more patient, and,apoa
the whole, more contented. The bread he eosin the best
of times, consists of a mixture of rye, straw, and the
bark of a tree ; yet the peasantry are a fine race of melt,
and their patriotism, in the more confined, as well as
the more etslarged,acceptation of the word, is proverbial.

intense kind La .extract from them a complaint) ne

the Minister of Justice, and that Prince LAaamow."
Boni:sow, who so long presided over that depart-
ment, and was at the same time Minister of the Council
of the Empire, has been permitted to resign. We ►hould
Dot be at all surprised, if the next resignation, which as
every reader knows, is a courteous term for dismissal,
were to be that of the present Minister of Foreign,
Affsirs, particularly as the Greek party in the Russian
cabinet appears to be regaining the ascendancy.

We also received this morning the Algoneine Zeitung
to die 22c1 inst. It merely announces the departure' of
the Emperor and Empress of Aust./11a on the 17th, for
the Nine of Laxenburg, their usual summer residence.
The other members of the Imperial family were to set
out for the same place on the fallowing day. It was
stated in a former account, that their Imperial Majesties
would proceed from Laxenburg to Presburg, to dis-
solve the Diet, which appears to have terminated at last
its proceedings.

Bombay Papers were received this morning at the
Jerusalem Coffee House, to the 16th January, but they
do not contain any news ; which implies that our •ast
possessions in that quarter of the world were not only
perfectly tranquil at that date, but free from any appre-
hension of their tranquillity being immediately distut

The Paris Papers, which arrived last night, are chiefly
occupied with the proceedings of the Chamber of De-
puties, which are not of sufficient interest to require
any n, tice on our part.
The intelligence they contain from Constantinople,
would be important, if true, as it states that the Porte
hts given another decided proof of its determination
to oppose the intervention of the European Powers
in its quarrel wi.h the Greeks. Such statements,
however, must be always received with great cau-
,sion, particularly when they emanate, as in the
present instance, from a source proverbially partial.
Admiral MIAULIS, who so long directed in person the
naval operations of the Greeks, has just set a noble
example to his countrymen, in offering to serve under
Lord COCHRANZ, in whatever capacity the Greek Go.
vernment may think proper to decide.

This being the Anniversary of the Restoration, it was
observed as a holiday at the Bank and the Stock Ex
change; and at one o'clock the Park and Tower guns
were fired on the occasion.

Dispatches, dated the 11th of February, were re-
ceived yesterday morning at the Colonial Department,
from Lieutehant General the Hon. Sir G. L. Cote,
G.C.B. at the Manikins.

Accounts have been received at Liverpool from Lis-
bon,
to the 17th instant, inclusive, by the William and
Henry. The only intelligence she brings is, that the
PRINCESS REGeNT was gradually reco►ering.
We have received a file of the Sierra Leone Gazettes
to the 11th of March. The following is an extract from the Ga-
zette of the sd of March :—" It may not be uninteresting to our
readers to be informed, that there have been emancipated by
Decrees stifle Courts of Mixed Commission In this Colony, from the
date of t►eir establishment in 1819, to the end of 1826, 9,326

of the extent of the SlaveTrade,too fatally evidenced in the number
ofanfortunate beings carried away from the coast in the like period:

Yesterday morning, soon after nine o'clock, the Duke
of Ckaaanca left the Admiralty in his travelling chariot and
Nur, attended by Colonel FITOCLAILIUICIF and Colonel Worm, and
proceeded to Woolwich for the purpose of reviewing the Royal
Marines, of whom his Royal Highness is General. The Royal
Duke was received by the Colonel Commandant of the Division
stationed there, and some of the principal Officers of the Marines.
After the review his Royal Highness partook of some refresh-
ment at the Of mess. His Royal Highness left the Dock
Yard at half past three o'clock, on bis return to the Admiralty.

In Yorkshi e, Glasgow, Birmingham, and indeed ge-
serafly through the kingdom, the various manufactories are getting
very busy—this is owing to a progressive demand, and therefore
likely to be lasting. At Norwich the warehouses are cleared of the
late accumulation of stuck.

A person named Corday, a cousin of the famous
Charlotte Corday, was lately tried at Rouen for forgery,
and condemned to six years forced labour.
Abstinence, as a prevention, is certainly of most dif-
trult application. If an abstinence from animal food be entered
vpon in early fife, while the system is unimpaired, doubtless It is
safe, and may be effectual; but if this plan should not have occur-'
red till the constitution has been broken by intemperance, or In the
decline of life,i; may then endanger the bringing on an atonic state ;
so that its safety will more or les, depend upon a propernpplica
*4 of if. Th r body being disposed to pletbora, as well as Milan,-
nation, from the use of animal food, should, therefore, be espe.
gall, avoided. But, on the other hand, a vegetable aliment, by its
a,texttcy, and nut affording sufficient nourishment, may weaken
I" tone of the stomach, and hence a diet of a middle nature ap.
Put more eligible. Milk is precisely of this kind, as containing
aairnal and vegetable matter, which, in conjunction With
acme or mealy se. ds, always form a very proper species of
bawl
