Mr. M. SU 17014 wished the Clergy Residence BM to be reed
a second time, as the House would oulT. by so doing, bind itself
to the principle. that the residence of the Clrrgy should be esta-
L!ithed ; and the Clauses might be discussed in the Committee.
Lord 116RLNGTON had great objections to this Bill; but he
would reserve hlm,elf for the Committee.
_ _

Mr. DICKENSO;4 would object to ibis Bill, as it tended to
make Clergymen farmers, and multiply the number of Curates.
Mr. M. stn-ruN could pledge himself, that none of these
objections would be found vices in the present Bill.
Mr. BABINGTON did net like this 13,11, b..c.tuse it was more
Lindy to create non.reeldence than residence of the Clergy.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be tom-
' m!tted un Friday next.

- The monied men continue confident that a consi-
derable advance will Lke place in the Stocks, and
have been purchasing largely for several days back
under that impression. It was confidently stated on
'Change this morning that the Minister will not want
more than eleven millions far the services of the cur-
rent year, which he means to raise by a further issue
of Exchequer Bills, and that this statement will be
la'd befcre the Public in a few days. The delay has
been occasioned by some further important reuencb-
meats, which are said to be in progress.

Earl Gun's motion respecting Lnrd
Circular, produced an animated debate in the House
of Lords last night—the question, however, was lost
by a majo.rity of 7 to 19. Lord DONOUGHSIOM
previous to the above discussion, announced that he
would bring the Catholic Question before the House
oa Friday.
In the House of Commons, Lord PALMERSTON
made a luminous statement of the reductions which
nad been made in our Military Esublishntent, and
afforded grounds to hope that those retrenchments
would still ho on progressively. The reduction, in
point of num'aers, between this and former years, is
5.5.300 men, and e 1,1300,000 less than the Estimate
of last year. Ar-eevcral Speakers had delivered
their opioionc, tke EstUcaates were Finally voted upon
the-scale proposed by Ministers.
In conscquence of tt•:e etseriations made in the
House of Commons last Light retiree:4lg the four
Companies i f Artillery which :rave seen stationed for
such a length of time at Jamaica without bting re-
lieved, we feel it a duty we owe to the present Mas-
ter-General of the Ordnance to state, that no time
tV4S hist in relieving these companies as soon as the
peace establishment was arranged and ether corn:
par.ies could be spared for that purpose, which, from
:he great demand for Artillery during the war, was
found to be impracticable.
Indeed those who are acquainted with the ability
and impartiality which Lc.rd MUSGRAVE has shown
in the discharge of his duty as Master-General of the
Ordnance, will hardly be induced to believe, that any
neglect could have originated in that quarter.

The Paris Papers of S4turday arrived this morn-
ihrz, but tip!y do not turt:ido a single article of lute'.

• Our Readers could hardly fail to notice the para.
graphs in the- ftrAft of yesterday, from the Paris
Papers, relative to Rome. They carry with them
an air of mystery, calculata to skew, that before
publication they '..ad bete. inspected by the Censors
of tl.e Public press. The foes is stated to be dan-
gerously ill—and the PuiNce Reoxsr of ENGLAND
ar.4 ESIPLUOR of RCSSIA are stated to have made
known to the, rip::: their desire of concurring pith him
66 11 extostkoz the Emitir: of our (i. e. the Roman Ca- i
tholtc) &heal" The latter_ expression may mean li
any thing but what it expresses, for neither 'England
nor Russia have any public profession of the religion
of the Popn. For ItcligLts substitute lull:U-41 importance. I
and perhaps something intelligible may be elicited
from the statement—especially when elucidated by
private accounts which have been received in the
City from Rome. The accounts to which we allnde
state, that fears are entertained for the peace of Italy,
and that the movements of Austria indicate a dispo-
sition to obtain an unfair ascendancy in that quarter
ascendancy to nbich England and Russia may
perhaps be inclined to c.ffer some counteraction. In.
deed, the private accounts are of such a nature as to
have given rise to a report in the City, that the Au-
istrians have actually taken possession of Rome.
