The question of Tytbes underwent some discussion
in the House of Commons last night, in consequence
of the numerous Petitions which have lately been pre.
preying some improvement or modification of
the present system. The question, which is one or
more importance and difficulty than
,some people,
seem to be aware of, was discussed-with much temper.
The general feeling seems to be, that the system ern
braces evils which it is desirable should be removed
but how this may be best accomplished,i, to crMtiolf-'
of great difficulty. That the Tythes helms neltber
to the Landlord nor to the Tenants is:certainly: be;
yond controversy: but, on the other hind; their Otro-'!
perry should not be continued subject to 4. vas wising:
out of the defects of the system, which hits vasted,that
property in others. The Law of Tythes, as it now'
operates, tends to Tetard, and in:manycasei to pro:,
hibit, all imptovement. Land which. by stature
would *yirld a profit barely equal to itsltythe, must
remain unimproved.; foe no man mill labour to his=
prove a property merely for. the benefit of another
party : thus the public become suterers u an extent
hardly to be credited;
The Motion submitted by Mr. Newman was to ap-
point a C•immiuee•to consider. and report oaths et-
pediency of substituting money for paythents in kind ;
hut the Cuatteituoa of the EXCUSQUAIt moved an
Amendment, which was csrried, thit. the Commit-
tee should report on the expediency of enabling the
proprietors of tithes to grant leases under new and
specific regulations.—This may lead 'to some ame-
lioration of the system, but the evil will never be
perfectly removed till the value of the tithe'be con-
verted into a real estate for the maintenance .of the
incumbent or of the itnpmpriator. He will then he
put upon the same footing with his neighbours, and,
mayeither improve his estate or let it lie Waste; per.
• would this imply a necessity of his learning the
ness of a farmer like many others he would look
out for a proper tenant for his land. ' •

The ituitioa of our ‘captiie fellow-conntrymen in

in a most unhealthy ;Innate, where the air is tainted
by'the^numberi who died during the lite siege, and

In the official dispatches sent home to Spain, these
British subjects are styled banditti, and as such in fact
are they now'treated. In the urgent moments of tbe

. .
. 140itW1CH, .
A toed of Mayoralty 'viai held on Friday Mori-
ing, 'when strottg mea.surecto preserie the peace were
determined on eat sunset a captain's guard of the.
West. Norfolk was marched into the Hall;
the
.Norwich yetnnanry:ltsuldry,_under Captain Him.
sotr, assembled at the Swan Inn ; a detachment of-
the Ist Royal Dragoons was under arms at the Horse
BareaCks ; and; the Magistrates, •Constables,' and a
number of the respectable inhabitants, at the same.
time .were assembled at the Hall. The demonstra-
tions had, to a considerable degree, the desired effect :
nevertheless a large mob collected, who sliewed'a
bad disposition by breaking a dumber of lamps, win-
dows, &c. The Magistrates and -their assistants.
IN retort., proceeded in a body to the Market-place,
and the riot act was read; several of the mob having
surrounded them, and behaving ins disorderly man-'
ner, three were taken into custody, and the. rest re-
fusing to disperse, after proper time had been allowed
to do so, the military were called in, but were on
their appearance received with vollies of stones, and
their horses alarmed by throwing a large fireball ;
they soon, however, succeeded in driving their assai-
lants out of the market, and dispersing them in every.
direction : several who resisted were committed to the
gaol, and before eleven o'clock every thing wasquiet.
We. are sorry to add, that several of the 'yeomanry
cavalry received cuts and bruises from the stones,
and one gentleman was thrown front his horse, and
the falling upon him, he was severely' injured,
but is now in a convalescent state.
On Saturday the Magistrates issued a Proclama-
tion, and having the same forces ready for preserving
the peace, the market and streets were cleared at an
early hour, without any damage being sustained. On
Monday morning the persons who had been taken.
into'custody were brought up for examination, when
two were committed to gaol, and several bound over
to take their.trials at the Sessiois and Assizes.

BURY, MAY 22.. •
On Wednesday evening a number of persons as-
sembled in a riotous manner before the house oil&
WALxs, hosier, in the butter market of WI town,
demanding that he should give up a machine called a
spinning-jenny (by the use of which they imagined
themselves aggrieved), and threitening destruction
to his preniises in case of refusal; but by the firmness
of CHAULLS BLOStlelliLD, Esq. assisted by the .they
Borough Magistrates, and many respectable inlselsi•
tants, the intentions of the mob were happily frus-
trated, and they at length dispersed, although it was
found necessary to keep the staff establishment of the
West Suffolk militia (wh:se aid, with that of the dif•
ferent recruiting parties here, had been called in)
•upon duty all night. • In consequence of these tu-
multuous proceedings, a meeting was next day con-
vened by the Alderman (T. Penn, Esq.) at the
Guildhall, which was very numerously attended,
notwithstanding the shortness of the notice,.iklevery
One•came forward with the utmost alacrity to sup.'
portthe civil power ; upwards of two hundred spe-
cial constables being sworn in, a party of whom
have nightly patrolled the streets, and we have the
tratisfaction to state, that no further attempt has WO
made to disturb the peace °Me town.
On Sunday and Monday detachments of the Ist
kora Dsipoons su.rebcdin here from Ipswich, part
of whom will remain till further orders, and the others
proceeded 'on their route to Brandon.
