However, after the suggestion ef. the Noble Lord,
he could pet thick of pressing it further, for it would
be idle affectation is him to think of carryieg it
against the Noble Lord's consent.
1/r. Pil I LLIMORE objected (es we understood)
to t►e Bill, on two grossed,: first, as tending to
lessen the respect seLich many persons might have for
the messier ceremony, if a part of it were altered ;
and in the nest place, as ►urtful to the feelings of the
Clergy, who were bound to administer the marriage
ceremony in one particular way.
Sir J. MACINTOSH did cot net feel any objec.
tier to the delay suggested by the Noble Lord, but
could not r in the objections made by his lion.
Friend (Dr. Phillimere).
The question was then pet, and the Bill wee or-
dered to be committed this day t►ree weeks—(Tbis
of costae pets off the Bill to the neat Session.)

confess mach less questioaable ; and though we do
not fully rely on the feet of his own defeat and tbo
destruction of his little army, yet we euraot offer
any coyest reasons for the disbelief of the account.
The ant is said to have arrived at Jamaica by
the British ship Sapphire, statiog, that a Spanish force,
of from 1,000 to 1,400 men, soder the command of
General Hoes, had commenced their march across
t►e fathoms of Dorian, on the tOth of April. That
the General was surprised, his second in command
killed In his bed, rod Colonel O'ilAaA shot through
the langs. hisGaroon is said to have jumped oat
of a two pair of stairs window, sod afterwards swam
on board of a schooner. A Colonel RATTRAY threw
himself into a small fort oear the sea, bat was obliged

to espitelate.

dependens In that part of the world, that we do not
consider the defeat, if tree to the last letter, as in-
volving the mein paisiotic design is any deoger w►at-
ever. This Grneral's views were not squared by
those of any one of the United Governments in
loath America ; sod, therefore, although his sec-
eess is this instance, might have facilitated the victo-
riess carter of the Independents, yet its failure will
be attended with no permanent ill connivance. At
best be could scarcely be considered a partisan of
the Independents; on the contrary, be was regarded
and denominated the Adveafu►our BUCCA NUM.—A
real defeat or victory/tonally creates or draws an
imaginary one after it. 'rho Courier unites,
I ander one geed, the defeat of Lord Coca-
RANI with the abort ; and as one of our Jour-
nals utterly disregards time is its historical at-
canoe, so does this pay as little attention to yew
A deemed miles ere therefore ran over is the twisk•
lirg of ea eye, to bring that gallant and Noble
Sailor foto the sass disaster, which the crocodile
Courier almost effects to cry over, not oat of regard
to the Nobleman who has been so ill seed in his own
country, as to induce him to E.:Wrists himself, bet
oat of pity to other of his countrymen, " who may
have bees klpkpepped into the service I !"—We
have no doubt of receiving intelligence in a short
time which will do away all belief in this latter
story, the particulars of which it would be loss of
time to recount.—Where are Oa ships whkh a►e to
beat off Lord Coca's kgr's well.formed little squa-

The length to skids the debates of sit night in the
Lim se of Commons, on the must Important of ell
Panties, ever made In Parliament, prevents us from
making those ob lions en the eloquence, temper,
end judgment, of the l'attiotic and Worthy 13sro-

oet, se suitable oo the occasion. We .it, there-
fore, be cootented in only remarking, that the effect
produced by the arguments of ,Sir F. BURDETT, and
the sopport of the 37 Members, who either spoke
or voted with him, most asters every reflecting
mind that the greed desideratum, or remedy for ell
our political grievances, is only deferred (that is in.
idled lamentable enough) for a further period.

" Resolved, That it appears that the plan pro.
posed by Mr. Oirsn Is founded in part on his consi-
derable espeytence of the establishments of Lanark,
sod of the fair deduction to be dream from it, might
be adopted with a considerable prospect of success,
as s mode of affording employment for the poor, per-
marneent relief to parishes as far as regards their casual
poor, sod that a Wigs proportion of the sums es-
pendml for that purpose might be used to the coun-
try by some scheme for consolidating parishes or die-
tricts, for the purpose of creating establishments of
the description in question, where the able-bodied
poor might he productively employed, their moist
habits diecildined and improved, and instruction given
to their children, of a otters calculated to make them
useful members of society."
