Goes Famar—liousAr As ALL :ma Pnix Omar.

The House of Commons adjourned' last night, until
the 28th of this month. During the time the Hoes, has
been sitting more business has been got through than
ever was before accompli.hed within the lame space of
6me 3 for as the Catholic Relief Bill oecdpied the chief
attention of all our Senators, an innumerable number of
swatters have passed almost sub silesitio. which at any
other time would have led to much discussion. Nearly
the whole of the Estimates have been toted;, and we
apprehend that the remainder of the business of the
Session may be probably got through by the beginning
of June.

Last night the CHANCIELLOR of the Exontrunta
moved the second reading of the Annuity Bill, and
stated his intention bereaf:er, in the Committee, to
strike out the clause which gives the Commissioners
power to grant deferred Annuities—that is, Annuities
for terms of years, to comm.:secret the de.thr f parties
so insw ing. This clause would have operated inju-
riously to the insurance Offices, and would have been
otherwise inconvenient. The main. features of the 13,11
will, however, remain unaltered— namely, pow era given
to the Commissioners for the Reduct;on of the National
Debt to sell Annuities on Lives, or for terms of years,
on certain payments in money.
The Paris Papers of 1 day, and the Gazette de
France dated Wednesday morning, reached us last
night. They do not contain any political intelligence
of importance. An article from Ancona, dated Vlst of
March, iefers to a new arrangement of the intended
limits of Greece, and to the probability of a B
Ambassuler proceeding direct to Constantinople.
The Frensh . Ministry have yielded to the re-
presentations made • by the Wine Growe,s of France
of their present state of distress, and have proiosird
• seduction of the &aim duty now paid on wines
consumed within the towns. We .neefl not men'
-`
nos, that wines consumed within the cities and towns
of France are subject in heavier ditties that those
levied on wines is the villages and country places: and
from this cause wine consumed without the barriers of
Paris even. is charged at much less price than that drank
within tbe.walls. The reduction of duty it to be model
on these local imposts; and according to the Estimate
it will amount to about £600,000 'ailing per annum.
This diminution of Revenue, however. will, it is cal.
enlaced, be made up by the increased consumption,
which will be the eousequence of the reduced price of
wine genet ally. The Fonds have ri>en, and therefore we
presume that this inference is supposed to be a just one.
