BUSINESS OF PARLIAMENT. -er-- THE proceedings1 of the House of Lords last v/eek were quite uninteresting. In the House of Commons on Monday Mr. Sergeant Onslow moved the second reading of a bill for a repeal of the Usury Laws. Mr. Davenport moved, as an amendment, that the bill should be read a second time that day six months, and w as seconded by Mr. B. Cooper.— Both gentlemen tpoke very warmly against the projected repeal. Sir J. Wrollcsley reprobated the measure, as likely to bring destruction upon the landed in- terest and Mr. Calcraft, contended that, however plausi- ble the repeal of the Usury Laws might appear in theory, in practice such a step must lead to the most pernicious consequences. The Sill was defended by Ah-, llmne, Mr. Grcufell. the Learned Mover, and A. Baring. The last-named Gentleman spoke at some length. He maintained that the repeal of the Usury Laws (which, as he admitted, were inoperative among capitalists and monied men) could not be other- wise than beneficial to the landed interest, and that it ought to be effected in order to remove a piece offalse legislation. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Hvs- kisson avowed their in the principles of the Bill, and, on a division, the second reading was carried by a majority of 120 to 23. The House then went into a Committee of Sup- ply upon the Navy Estimates, when Mr, lIume made several charges against the conduct of the Admiralty, specifying among other topics of ac- cusation, the promotion of men of rank and birth out of course, and the disability of passing as Lieutenants imposed upon Masters and Masters' Mates. The lion. Member concluded a series of speeches by moving, that the proposed estab- lishment of the navy should be reduced from 29,000 to 2-3.01)0. Mr. Bemal coincided in Mr. Hume's censtires of the Admiralty"; but he could not, in the pre- sent state of Europe, assent to the proposed re- duction. Sir G. Clerk, Sit. G. Cockburn, and Mr. Can- ning, defended the promotion of men of rank in the navy, as conducive to the general respectabi- lity of the profession; and explained, that the order for the disqualification of Masters from passing as Lieutenants had become necessary, from the practice of appointing Masters directly from the merchants' service and that it only operated to preventMasters to take rank from an- ticipating the usual length of service. Mr. Hume withdrew his amendment. Mr. Goulbum then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to enforce the residence of the Clergy in Ireland, which he obtained, after a short conver- sation Tuesday night, Mr. S. Wortleymovcd for leave to bring in a Bill upon the subject of the Game Laws; the lIon. Member gave a slight outline of the measure to the following efreci, :-Ile would, he said, propose that every man, without distinction of qualification, should have the abso- lute right to kill game upon his own ground, and that every holder of land should have the power of imparting the privilege of sporting upon that land to one friend for every plough gate which he should hold. That he would propose to give to landholders a summary remedy, by fine at the discretion of a Magistrate, against intruders by day, and a security against night poachers by a scale of punishments, moderate at first, and ill- creasing with each repetition of the offence; any by holding convicted poachers to bail, and, fi- nally, that he would propose to legalise the sale of game by licensed persons. The motion was slightly opposed by Sir Jo. in Shellj/, and leave was granted without a divi- sion. Lord Nugent then brought forward his promis- ed motion for certain papers connected with the late proceedings of the British Government in Spain. The Noble Lord introduced the subject in a speech of very great length. He admitted that neutrality was the proper policy of this country, and that which the popular feeling indi- cated but he denied that the Ministers had been impartially neutral; and brought in proof of their bias against the Constitutionalists, the re- tirement of Sir Win. A'Court from Seville, after the King had been put under restraint; and Sir William's advice to General Alava, as a private friend, to withdraw from the ruin which threat- ened the Constitutionalists in Cadiz. Lord Nit- gent's speech was, as we said, very long but these were the only specific allegations contained in it. Mr. Sturgcs Bourne and Mr. Canning briefly defended the course taken by our Government, and the measures adopted by Sir Win. A 'Court (who acted in a great degree upon his own dis- cretion) and Lord Nagent's motion was re- jected, in favour of an amendment moved by Mr. Bourne, by a majority of 171 to 30. In the House of Lords on Thursday night Earl Grosvenor expressed great satisfaction at an effort for the amelioration of the Game Laws having been commenced in another place (the House of Commons), by a gentleman eminently qualified to prosecute it to a successful issue. I In the House of Commons, Mr. T. Wilson, in presenting a petition for a reduction of the duties on f oreign ines, took occasion to observe that the high scale of these duties really injured the revenue by either preventing the use of wine, or by encouraging smugglers. Mr. Grenfell then moved for returns of the Ba- lances of Public Money in the coirers of the Bank of England, with some other accounts of,details connected with these balances. The Hon. Mem- ber argued at great length, to shew that the ba- lances were unnecessarily large,and unreasonably profitable to the Bank and that that Corporation was paid a great deal too much for the manage- ment of the public debt. He concluded by assert- ing that by a revision of the arrangement with the I Bank, £ 280,000 might be annually saved to the public. The Chancellor of the Exchequcrbore testimony to the obligations which the Bank had imposed upon the public. Mr. Hume supported the motion, and observed that the balance of fiteen ion, due bv the Go- vernment to the Bank ought to be paid without delay, Sir N, Parncll hinted, that as the expiration of "the Bank Charter was not far distant, that op- portunity for a new arrangement should not be neglected. Mr. Manning defended the Bank. He said that for the profits of the Balances they had paid compensation; and that for the management of the public debt, they charged but sevenpeuce in a hundred pounds. Mr.Elliee complained that the Bank, bv lending money on mortgage, had departed from the orÍot nal purpose of its instruction, which was the ad- vancement of commerce. Mr. Baring vindicated the importance of the Bank, without the aid of which, he asserted the government of the country could not be carried on. He, however, expressed regret that the Bank had taken the "dead weight arrangement," by which the country had, in the difference of the 'price of Stock, lost one million and a lialf; and, he also lamented the advances made on mortgage tlw effect of which he said must be, in the event of a war, to lock up the capital of the Bank from tite public service, or to inflict a grievous op- pressiori upon the mortgagers, by a general revo- f nation of the mopey so advanced. ■BMI—■ II aBBgWi^—■ill'I III' 111 Mr. H. Gurney, Mr. Maberly, and Miftlonk, spoke shortly, and the return was orderec Mr. Peel then moved for leave tobri; in a Bill to amend the Gaol Act of last Sessioi The Right. Hon. Secretary explained, that tlobject of his Bill would be to diminish, as far as tssible the number of gaols, in order to establisVm uni- formity of discipline, and to afford oppitunity for constant andminute inspection. He ao stat- ed that he intended to introduce a clauseo pro- tect untried prisoners from the "tread ill la- bour." Sir Thomas Letkbridge concurred in theeneral views of the Right Hon. Secretary, but-coplain- ed of the expenee thrown upon the landed terest, by the charges for prison building. A similar complaint on the part of CoHVood, 4 led to a suggestion, by illi-, Peel, that wo or more small counties should unite for te pur- pose of building a prison. Mr. llobhoitse pronounced a warm nvctive ag-ainst the" Tread-mill." Alderman Wood mentioned, that theobtxioHS machine had been in use on the qllap>f the London Docks for a century, without ev- pro- yoking. any public indignation, or ti bourers to put it ia motion; lie added t.it die prison labour of Newgate was much mre se- vere. thanlhat of the tread-mill. Mr. Peel, admitting that this form of imish- ment was subject to some abuse, like evertliing placed in the hands of man, maintained mt it was less so than any other mode' Of disiplihe, and asserted that the reports on the sbject, and the iadisputed fact that the prisoner upon it improved in appearance and inorea>d in weiglit, was a sufficient assurance that was not injurious 10 health.-Leave was then gaired to bring in the bill. Mr. Peel next moved for the consolida on of the Jury Laws; these laws he described a scat- teretl fifty statutes, in which they were mingled wb h a vast variety of subjects with which ihey they had no na; Liral coiine-ioit. I Mr. Hume recommended the impaanellng of Jurors by ballot; and I Mr, (T. Lamb expressed some jealotsy if the consolidal ion of laws. Dr. Lushinglon referred the root 01 theevils in the Jury sys:emto the immense lmltipicily of our la-,vs.-Leave w,-ts given. Sir John Newport then moved for leaie to bring in a bill for the severance of Irish Eceesimtieal unions; however, after a short conversuionwidi Messrs. Goulbum and Dawson, he witldrev his motion. Mr. GraUan then moved for a se.ries)f re1 urns specifying the numbers of persons profssin* the Roman Catholic Religion, holding enrloyiiieins under the Crown. He explained "that ns object in moving for these returns, was to shov that in pracice, Catholics were excluded from ven those offices to which in law, ihev were eligble. The motion was supported bv Messrs.Uobhouse and Hume and opposed by the Chuncetor of the Exchequer, illt-. Gottlbttt-tt, Pert andVr. Can- ning, as leading to an inquisitorial invs'igaiion of the religious opinions of individuals, indT as an invasion of the prerogative of the Crom .—On a division the ino ion was rejected by aiiiojoi,itv of 30 to 11.

-tta———EtyaMaMgnai—■————— A GTKON "IT r'f "r' -'f 11 T -f" WITH AS M I r:rwL' cituissn. Titk Camrlion, 10, Captain Burton, nrrivpd at cii Thursday last, ]'Iiis vessel left S'os is a short .-time si-nee with secret i>i(iers, "having joined the rvm;! Hon- Captain Spencer, at Gibral- tar. proceeded in company to Algiers, -where they armed on ult. to drmami restitution of fume captives.— The i>y refused to admit Capt. S. to a conlVrcnce with his sword on; but :is the :albllt ojilGer would not sub- mit to • !i i\ terms, he t,he I)ev until the 31st to consider his propositions, nnd in the mean time embarked the British Consul ami family on board his ship.- When tlu; time IkhI expired, and no fa- vourable answer been returned, the Inen- of-war stooli out to sen, and at 3 P.M. fin sight of the town.) fell in with an Ai- gerine corvette, of IS guns, and 100 men, poinding in, which they ordered to bring to but not complying, a fire was imme- diately opened on her, and in a short time the Came lion laid her on board, and carried her.-Thcy found in her seventeen Spaniards as prisoners, wHo, with the Al- p-r'uifi Commander, Captain Spencer took out, and then suffered her to drift oil shore, being too much damaged in the action to be brought off. The Naiad parted company Îor Matta on the 1st in- stant, and the Camelion, after calling at Gibraltar, sailed from thence on the 6th. Friday night, the Chancellor of the I Exchequer gave notice, that this next week he should call the attention of the House to the subject of the 4 per Cents This, no doubt, means that he will submit a proposition for a reduction of the inter- est payable on that Stock. It is very likely that he will propose turning them into 3 per Cent. Stock with of course an increased bonus in proportion to the holders, he will no doubt offer to pay them off. The holders will, in all pro- bability, accept the Chancellor's offer, whatever it may be rather than be paid off; at the same time, if they came into an agreement to be paid off, the Chancel- lor would find it no easy matter to do so with a balance in the Treasury of only ten millions, while the amount of theOld 4 per Cents is 135 millions. For the good of the State geiierally, -Ne wish that the Chancellor may carry his scheme into effect; at the same time, any person of any feeling must be sorry at the loss of income on the part of small annuitants, who may have hitherto been s-qarcelyable to live on what they derived from such property. Supposing that the Chancellor effects on the 135 millions capital, a re- duction of one per cent, it will be equal 10 nearly a miIlion alld a half a year.- This would cover the expenses of the Crown and the Pensioners; or, speaking from the best of our recollection, it would be nearly equal in amount to the whole of the Revenue at present derived from the tax on Foreign Wines. The Chan- cellor is beginning at the right end, in reducing the interest of the Debt, the taxation for which is jast double every year, the taxation required to pay the whole of the expenses of the State. We must be materially relieved from the an- nual charge of the Debt, before we can again expect to assume our high tone t) 15 with other European kingdoms. It is the debt which might prevent our op- posing the French, in their probably pro- jecting attempt to get footing in South America. a Four Estimates, of as many different branches of the Miscellaneous Services, have been laid on the table of the House of Commons. They are not of interest enough to render it necessary for us to reprint them. The first portion of these estimates is dedicated to public buildings. Ale. Smirk's estimate of the buildings for the present year amounts to 40,0001 and this is to be expended on the East wing of 64 the proposed Quadrangle," intended for the Royal Library: the first floor of one of the wings, however, to be re- served for collections of painting-, prints, and similar works of art. The estimate for the ordinary repairs of the year, ap- plicable to all the public buildings, is J04O,OOO; and the expence-s of last year amounted to upwards of £ 38,000. To the Penitentiary at Millbank, we find £ 21,500 applied by estimate. The cers wages amount to £ 6000; and the victualling of 1,000 prisoners and 76 oili- cers,to only 1,500; one party must be well paid, or the other ill-fed. The es- timate for the empolyment of c .nvicfs at home amounts to £ 60754. Compensa- tion to American Loyalists siill forms an item in one of the estimates. 'I'll» esti- mate for the printing branch of service amounts to nearly £ 70,000. We understand that petitions; to Ptr- iiuraeut are preparing at the principal ports for the appointment of a Committee to ioquire into the state of the naval ser- vice, particularly as regards the training and the treatment of sailors, and their liability to impressmeut: also to lay the foundation of a new code of maritime laws on constitutional principles.

I COURT OF ADMIRALTY.Tu sD.vy. Lord Stowel, came into Court at etio'cl(,,cL. 'THE NEPTUNE." IT will be recollested that this was a cairn for a seaman's wages against the master of he ship in question, which came on to be hearl at the last Court day, upon tin: seaman's sumiory pe- tition. The facts of the case were short aid uoj interesting; but a point of law, somewhat myel, arose out of them. By the maritime IJW no wages are claimable after the ship ha: been wages are claimable after the ship Ita: been wrecked; but in this case the vessel hat been wrecked off the coast of Brittany, on her etiun from Rio Janeiro, on the tirst of May, at 1 the mariners continued to work her to tile i)tll.klow_ ing. Ey their exertions the hull, ringing, lasts, cables, and anchors were saved, and these hying been since sold, the proceeds aUlOuntedü a greater sum than was now claimed by the tioner. The case had been before the Cour by Counsel on the preceding day. Lord STOWEL, this morning, gave his jl.- ment. After reviewing at some length the j". eumstanees of the case, he said that the IIlin question appeared to be, whether the were to be compensated by a quantum meruit what they had done, by a salvage, or in te shape of wages. It certainly appeared to be tie policy of the law to hold out every possible eL couragement to sailors exerting themselves whll the ship was in distress, and nothing could nu. that effect more than by making the reward whic they had a right to claim uncertain, Now, the compensation by the way ofquantun meruit, or salvage, was not in its nature so fixec and certain as wages. The seamen s wages sub. sist so long as a plank of the ship remained, The seamen were bound to serve so long as there was authority to command them and if, upon this occasion, they had refused to assist in saving the wreck when ordered by the Captain, their re- fusal would be a resistance to lawful authority. The obligation on the seamen to serve, and the right of the Captain to command, were Contem- porary. Here the seamen not only had not re- fused to work, but had done all in their power to save the vessel. It was a general rule in law, that no one should be prejudiced by the act of GOD but sailors were an exception to this "rule, for their wages ceased by shipwreck, although, so far from their being parties to it, they might have been doing their utmost to prevent it. They could not even insure against accidents, as the owners could. It would be too hard, then, 'that whilst the seamen laboured under these disadvan- tages, they should also be deprived of compensa- tion for services which they had already per- formed. Under all these circumstances, he was of opinion that the summary petition of the mariner ought to be allowed, and that the master was liable to pay him the wages which he claimed out of the funds which had been saved. Judgment was therefore entered up for the pe- titioner. The Court was occupied for the remainder of the day in hearing the arguments of Counsel in a case where the question was, whether a Vessel which had been sold in the West Indies by the Captain, was sold with or without the consent of the owners but as the principle of law was j fixed, the case was interesting only to the parties, i

MR. MARTIN'S BILL. To alter nnd ttmcncl an Act,passed in the third year of the Reign of his present Majesty, entitled An Act to Prevent the Cruel and Improper Treatment of Cuttle." WHEREAS by an act made in the third year of the reign of his present Majesty King George the Fourth, it is amongst other things enacted, that if any person or persons should wantonly and Cruelly beat, abuse, or ill treat any horse, mare, gelding, mulfe,'ass, ox, cow, heifer, steer, sheep, or other cattle, and complaint on oath thereof should be made to any justice of the peace, or other magistrates within whose jurisdiction such offence should be committed, it should be lawful for such justice of the peace or other magistrate to issue his summons or warrant, at his discretion to bring the party or parties so complained of, before him, or any other justice of the peace or other magistrate of the county, city, or place, within which such justice, of the peace or other magistrate had jurisdiction, who should examine upon oath any witness or witnesses who should appear or be produced to give information touch- ing such offence and if the party or parties ac- cused should be convicted of any such offence, he, she, or they, so convicted, should forfeit and pay the sum therein mentioned. And whereas the provisions of the said recited act have been found insuflicient to prevent the oft'ences therein mentioned, and it is expedient to make further provision for that purpose be it enacted by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Comniors, in this Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that if any person or persons shall wan- tonly and cruelly beat, abuse, or ill treat any of the said herein-before mentioned animals, or any other cattle, or shall overload any horse or other beast of burden, he, she, or they, shall be and be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, and being con- victed thereof, shall suffer such punishment as in other cases of misdemeanour. And be it further enacted, that it shall be law- ful for any person or persons who shall witness such offence as aforesaid, to apprehend every person so offending, and to convey such oflender or offenders before any justice of the peace or other magistrate, within whose jurisdiction such otrence shall be committed; and it shall there- upon be lawful for such justice of the peace or other magistrate, either to commit, or bail, such person or persons, to be proceeded against for suchliiisdeineanour by indictment under this act; or it shall be lawful such justice of the peace or other magistrate to proceed against and deal with such person or persons, in such manner as it is provided by the said hereinbefore recited act. And be it further enacted, that if any justice of the peace or other magistrate, shall witness such offence as aforesaid., within his jurisdiction, it shall be, lawful for him, on his view thereof, to convict and punish the party or parties so offend- ing, in such manner as he might do, under the said hereinbefore recited act. upon information unA n1.nn.' mo,1o tiof, 1'lrn AfnU I).rt:l, ana prooi maae oerore nun oi suen onence. And be it further enacted, that ic shall be law- ful for any justice of the peace, or other magis- trate, before whom any person shall be convicted under the said recited act, or under this act, to order any sum of money, not exceeding of such sum as shall be awarded against the person so convicted, to be paid to the person or persons who shall prosecute such offender to conviction, as compensation for his or their trouble and ex- pence in and about such prosecution.

SINGULAR CmCpMSTANCE. AnouT seven or eight months since, two large cases were delivered at the Custom-house, from on board a Dutch bigger, consigm,d to the care of a mercantile house in the City, and addressed to a gentleman wellkllown in the literary world. On examination those cases were found to contain a number of paintings, some fossil remains, and a few volumes of rare Dutch .books, printed almost immediately after the discovery of the use of types. There were also some coins, of Roman and Athenian origin, carefully secured in a small casket of porphyry, and many other articles of verlu, all plainly indicating the same refinement of taste which hacl assisted in ttic The pictures, which exhibited every appearance of having been long' neglected, were, i,( | ing, in excellent: preservation, the frames alone having suffered from the touch of time. They | were. about40 in number, and were elm-Sly from the classic pencils of Claude I.orrai-ne, Pottssi;), I and Titian, with two or three of Rembrandt's f happiest efforts. Some cabinet paintings, depo- sited in a small portfolio, were evidently the pro- duction of a female pencil, and were remarkable rather for their elegance and imaginai u I u c ter than for sudden perfection. Bi t the Iltizzit, was, to ascertain from whom or came or what motive could have the original possessor to part with so. inestimable a collection. No intimation whatever had accom- panied them, that might inform the prbseiit owner to whose generosity he stood indebted for sp choice a gift, if such lie might conceive it. After minutely examining their contents, the cases were again carefully closed, as the Gentleman was rather scrupulous in exhibiting as his Own what might be re-claimed at some future period by their mysterious owner. Month after month rolled away without affording the least clue to this singular ad venture, and the Gentleman at length concluded that it was a piece of pleasan- try put upon him by his son, who is a Major-Ge- neral in the British army, and then holding a si- tuation in India he accordingly wrote to him on the subject, but the General, in reply, expresses an equal degree of wonder at the information, and pledges his honour that he knows no mg whatever of the transaction, and concludes by saying, that if his father finds the gilt ot lis un- known friend, as the slightest incumbrance, he shall feel particularly happy in relieving him from the trouble of its acceptance, and take all responsibility from his shoulders. General further adds, that he remem- bers, during the Walcheroii expedition, having Inul an opportunity of rendering a ti ming service to a wealthy Flemish merchant, who was at the time highly grateful, and took his address both to London and Somersetshire, where his a er s estates are principally situate but he could ne- ver for a moment presume that the Dutchman s gratitude was so unfading as to induce this valua- ble proof of its existence after the lapse of so many years. The Generals father, who is an ardent admirer of the arts, begins to relax in his scruples, and thinks of new framing and refresh-. ino-snch of the pictures as have suthved from laying bv and it is expected that the entire w ill y be opened to the inspection of the cognoscenti and virtuosi, as soon as the work of resuscitation shall have been accomplished.
