by no means sultcient. According' to their atitergent.
the Company bad thirteen steam boats at their disposal.
This night be the case; but at all events only one of
those thirteen sailed between Liverpool and Dublin, nod
themforetisitone soli was applicable to the conveyance
4 the' Mail i btu independently of this . circumstance, the
Company itself bad refused to comply with the Post-
ticeregulations as to the time of starlit'', &c. re-
.servieg to itself the right of waiting for passengers
onst freight. Now this fact alone, as must be evident
•toeeeey-Hon. Member of that House, was sufficient to
have
_pot. a negative on their proposal. But besides'
this. t. George Steam BlatCompany, there was another
of the name of the City of Dublin Steam Company--a
Company. as he understood, most respectably con-'
ducted. 4nd which had no less than sixteen it •am boats
at work: on that stab n. He met tinned this Company,
because the Po.t Master General, after having decided
tliai tire offer of the St. George Company could not be
accepted, had entered into a negotiation with the other;
but here also they failed, as it aprated th.t this Com-
pany also found it necessary to decline undertaking to
stint at fixed hours and days; and so satisfied was this
latter Company with the justice of that decision, that
they were ready to come forward and state that they
_were perfectly content• with what had t ken place.—
These be ng the circumstances of the case, the Post-
inastet General had thought it necessary to have steam
vessels built f• r the service of Government.; and he
(Mr. G. Dawson) was persuaded that when the House
came to view the whole case, they would be of opinion
that a right decision had been come to ;especially when
.they understood that, owing to this arrangeniert4 the
carriage of the mail was effected in tht mast regular
'manner. there being, lie believed, only one instance of
delay in the arrival in the course of the whole year that
the boats had
,been running. Another point to which
.be witched to call the attention of the House was, that
the Petition of which he had been speaking stated the
'expense of this post-office establishment, alter deducting
the sums received for passengers, was 10.0001. a year.
sVow this was totally untrue, as the expenses, after that
deduction. amounted to no mole than 4.3001. within
•the year; and • indeed the whole expente ut the Govern-
ment steam boats conveying the mail to the different
'ports of Ireland was no more than 27,0001. out of
which 17,4001.44nd to this item he begged to call the
• attention of the Honourable Member for Waterford,
. wins bad taken so active a part in the discussion on the
Petition)were expended in conveying the mails between
Milford and Waterford. The Honourable Gentleman
then protested against its being imposed to Sit F. Free-
ling that be bad adopted this system of Government
steam-boats for the sake of the patronage that went
'along with them (the real fact being, that the Com-
manders of the vessels were appointed by the Earl of
Chichester), and concluded by moving for the Returns
already mentioned.
Mr. L. FOSTER said, that he had not heard any
• thing advanced by the Hon. Gentleman which inducedt
• him to alter the opinion that he had expressed on a
former evening. The Hon. Gentleman bad said, that
• the expense of these packets had only amounted to
4,5001, in the year; but in his opinion there ought to
. be added to that the expense that arose horn keeping up
• the steam-boat establishment fJr letters between Holy-
head and Dublin. because he could not help thinking
that one of these two routes was entiiely unnecessary.
Herr his own-part, he did net see there was any necessity
' ftir the existence of the communication between Liver-
pool and Dublin ; the way by Holyhead was much
shorter; and he was persuaded, that it instead of vessels
ofioulyeighty horse power, that passage were provided
with ethers of double that power. which was the case
between Liverpool and Dublin, the mail would be con-
elected with greater advantage, and with greater eco-
*nosy to the puhlic.--(Hear, hear). •
• Sit R. PARNELL agreed in opinion With the Hon.
' Gentientan who bad just sat down, and complained,
that after having spent 70.0001. on.the Holyhead roads,
lipatioment was now spending 70 0001. more in con- •
' treeing letters by the Liverpool louts, and thus in a •
-1111111nat tendering the sews that had been laid out on'
the. Holybead loads witless. To which might be added; '
thatit was really a disadvantage to the. merchants to'
have their letters sent by Liverpool ; for although the
}lonairabk Gee tleatae (Mr.G. Dawson) had stated that
gnat regularity had prevailed in the carrying of dial
leums, he would beg to remind. that Hon. Gentleman',
Mat bit winter had, been a peculiarly favourable Poe,
; sod at it would be much Pier to judge by the re.

three kingdoms had been amply provided for.

No business of importance was transacted in the
Lords last night.

In the Commons, in moving for certain papers con-
nected with the Post Office steam boats at Liverpool and Dublin,
Mr. Dawson took occasion to defend that establishment from the
charges contained in the Petition of the St. George Steam Packet
Company. lie contended, that not only had the public pined a
regularity and certainty of conveyance by the establishment of the
Post Office packets, but also considerably in point of expense.
Mr. L. Forma differed entirely front Mr. Dawson respecting
the propriety of the establishment, and had no doubt that the Re-
port of the Finance Committee would neither bear out hie state-
ments,tmr justify his defence of it.

In answer to a question put by Mr. Hosinstiss, Lord LOWTIIIR
all, that in a few cases of leasehold interests id houses on the site
of the Charing cross improvements, which would expire lii about
eigbieen mouths, it bad been thought better so allow the leases to
expire than to purchase them at the eaurbitant prices demanded.—
The Commissioners have already concluded for 500 out of 600
houses that are to be pulled .dowii.
The Alehouse Licensing Bill itniht through a Committee last
night, and its main clount...-we loam the power of appeal to the
Quarter. Sessions—was allowed to pus. Publ4f-liouses also, if the
Bill passes Into a law, will in fu:ure be allowed to afford refresh-
ment to travellers, during the hours of Divine Service ii:: Sunday;
and as then is no clause in it to compel the Licensed Victuallers to
turn visitors out of their houses on such oceasionS, the accoanno,
dation' to the public will be considerable.

The Gazette de France, daccd Sunday, contains ac-
counts from Constantinople of the 28th ult. which coo
Arm the statement a e copied yesterday Irons the Get-
Sea Papers, respecting the solicit,tions of the Porte f r:
at,,renewal of the negotiations with Fr arse anti figland.

Note of the Rats rwisasst to die AttbassOurs of
those Powers, requesting their interference on the

doctiment, which is drawn up with 44110400141 e are,

that the Divan is more aarioutfor peace than the Sur,
[TAN himself; wlm, alter attending daily to the review
Ind exercises of his modernized troops, seems tn.think
he has done all that is necessary to guard against the

From Portugal it is stated, tat on the appearance
of Don ;ironer., the troops at Oporto, who had de-
clared against his usurpation and in favour of-their
legitimate S ,vereign, immediately laid •iliorin their
aims. The Gazette, which has long sisee ceased
to be official, does net say whence it derives this
information, but admits that it was not mentioned
in any of the private letters which it had received,
and in consequence ah•tains from vouching for its
authenticity. Unless it had come by the telegraph.
the intelligence could not be of a later date than
that brought from Lisboa here a few days ago, which
is quite silent respecting the occurrence of such sin event
Had a telegraphic dispatch 'cached Paris, it would
certainly. have appeited in the new official paper, the
Messager des Charntres, before it was comaiunicuted to
the Gazette. It is probably, therefore, a mete report

From the Paris Papers receited by the mail this
morning':

A letter fro& Florence, of the Bth June, states that

By the Flaudei s Mail this morning we have received
the Algetneine Zeitung to the 20th instant, and Brussels
Papers ol ye.tet thy' date. The ft Bowing are extracts:
CONSTANTINOPLR, MAT 51.

No change has taken place in the capital. The Hatti
Scheriff of the Sultan, ordering the people to iiirn,'
which was sent to the provinces, is very short ; a longer
Manifesto is shortly expected.
According to a statement which is circulated here,
the Turkish array on the Danube, including the garri-
sons of the fortresses on that river, amounts to 72,000
men. When Halil Bey, having received rich presents
horn the Sultan, left the city, the latter accompanied
him part of the way, and at parting said to him, " D
prod on me; in case of need I shall follow you."
It is resolved that for the present the Sultan is t,
re-
main here with about 2.5,000 disciplined troops, to prt -
tett the capital. This may be considered as very for-
tunate for the Fraak. , as, his p:esence will greatly con..

tribute to their. security. Meantime the military pre.
prations are prOceeding with much regulatity ; but
_the apprehensions of the great men and of the Ministry
cannot be concealed. The Greeks have captured f cur
richly laden Turkish ships of war near the Dardanelles
since which Tahir Pacha has been sent thither with
some men of war. It is reported that Alexandria is
blockaded, and that Ibrahim Pisan has sigi.ified to the
Porte, that inconsequence of the blockade of the Mores
by the Allies, he cannot hold out beyond the end of June.
' Baron Ottenfels has sent a courier to Vienna with
the news of the invitation sent by the Reis Effendi to
Corfu to the Ambassadors of France and England, to
acqUaint the Austrian Coutt with the increasing Jis
position to make concessions manifested by the Porte.—
