O’ Connei.—nir. Brougham’s =mo
tion in the House of Commons, *‘that
Mr. O'Connel be ‘called back and
heard at the bar,” was brought up
for discussion on Mouday the 18th,
and after being supported among oth
ers by Mr. Peel. was carried unanim
ouslyst In a few moments Mr. O -
Connel made his appearance -at the
bar, and the speaker thus addressed
him:
, M. O’Connel; the House have re
solved that you be heard at the bar
by yoursell, your counsel or your a
gents, in respect to your claim to sit
and vote in the Parliament without
taking the oaths. ;
Mr. O’'Connel then rose, and ad
dressed the House in a long speech,
in support of his claim, after which
he withdrew amidst loud and general
cheering. The solicitor general ad
dressed the House in reply, and con
cluded by moving, ““That Mr. ’Con
nel, having been returned a member
of this House before the passing of
the Act for the Relief of the Roman
Catholics, is not entitled to-sit or
vote. in this House, unless he first
.tales the oath of Supremacy.” A
long debate ensued; and the question
being taken upon the motion, there
were infavor, 190 votes; against 116;
being a majority of 74 against O’Con
nel’s claims. It was however order
ed that Mr. O’Connel be required to
give attendance at 30’clock inthe af
ternoon of the: 19th, inorder that the
speaker might communicate to him the
resolution of the House, & ask him if
he was willing. to take the path of Su
premacy. Mr. O’Connel appeared ac
cordingly. » j
The Speaker said—Mr. O’Conrel,
1 am directed to inform you that this
House, lastnight, agreed to two res
olutions, the first of which is, that it

allegiance and supremacy; and the
second, that Mr. O’Comnuel be request
ed to attend this evening for the pur
pose of being informed of this decis
ion. Mr. Speaker was also requested
to ask if Mr. O’Connel would take
the oath of supremacy. [ do there

A Sapplement to the Journal of
St. Petersburg, contains news from
the theatre of war to April, which
besides the account of the unsuccess
ful attack made by Hussein Pacha
apon Sizeboli, gives the following par
ticulars.
Nothing else of any importance has
occurred along the whole line that we
occupy in Bulgaria or on the Danube,
with the exception of some skirmish
es between the out posts. The gar
rison of Ghiurgevo has made two un
successful sallies against ' the corps
of observation before that fortress, in
' the second the enémy had 3000 men,
infantry and cavalry, and some can
non, and began a fire of Musketry on
the Cossacks, but were driven back
into the fortress with considerable
, loss by the fire of artillery and the
attack of two regiments of hussars;
we took some prisoners. .
‘ During the winter the neccssary
preparations have been made to ef
fect the passage of the Danube be
fore Silistria. Pontoons, were made
in the village of Fundeni, on the river
| Argis, with the intention of floating
i them in spring to the Danube, and
on the river Bota to Kallarusch, op
posite Silistria. This enterprise was
difficult and dangevous, - for the ene
my having assembled the remains of
his flotilla before Silistria, command
ed the Danube at that fortress and
farther up.. The operation was, hows
ever, executed with success through
the intrepidity "and skill united with
the prudence of Major General Schil
der.. The pontoons were launched
into the Axrgis on the Bth April, reach
ed the Danube at day break on the
11th, and'at two o’clock in the after
noon f the following day were out of
all danger in the Bota. -We not only
sustained no loss,” but the volunteers
of the -regiments of Archangel and
Volguda, stationed on the pontoons,
captureda Turkish merchantman, a
corvette, with seven men. This cor-.
vette has been armed with four cannon,
& stationed as a gnardshipat the mouth
of the Bota, where General Schilder
has also had two redoubts erected.
. The prisoners and deserters from
the Turkish fortresses on the Dan
ube agree in stating that there is a
great scarcity of provisions, especial
1y at Shumla, where the new Grand
Vizier had arrived with 12,000 reg
ular troops. The authenticity of
these declarations is confirmed by
‘other unexceptionable accounts, ac
cording to which the scareity is daily
becoming more" alarming even at
Constantinople, threatens the innu
merable population of that capital
with incalculable disasters. fie”

GREAT BRITAIN.
The London Quarterly Review,
heretofore the advocate of the an
“cient ins"ti‘tutions‘ an‘kaabflse; of . th
| kingdom, aud opposes of reformation’
|in church and. state, has changed its
“| tone, Thg'l‘ast ‘number- presents_a
“gloomy picture of the state.and pros
peets of the country; admits that the
toundation of Eugland s greatness is
i,nse_wre, and liable tobe undermined;
and that chianges must take place in
almost every part of the machine of
society. We will give our readers a
short abstract of the Reviewer’s ob
servation under several heads. e
| - Manufactures.—The perseverance
with which trade and manufactures,
-are enconraged in every pait of the,
world is calculated to inspire deep
and constant anxiety in England.
Most of the countries in Furope—
France, Netherlands, Germary, Prus
sia, Switzerland, &c. are making
rapid progress in manufactures, and
from one end of Europe to the other,
the greatest activity prevails. ‘Eng
lish artists are daily ivited to settle
abroad, and foreigners reside in
England until they are able to carry
off the mysteries of their trades and
professions,
Publie debt.—The reviewer states
that the national debt in 1828 amount
ed to 3,560,000,000 dollars—a sum
so enormous that the ‘mere statement
of it cannot fail to carry alarm to eve
ry man possessed of prudence and
foresight. The interest of the debt
is considerably more than half of the
whole annual income of the kingdom,
and the reviewer expresses his fears
that the people will be unable to pay
the interest, and that bankruptey and
| revolution will ensue. He cautions
those who trust to the chapter of ac
cident to avert the evil, not to rely on
such consolations. '
Poor rates —The poor rates have
increased more than ten fold within
80 years, and now exceed 30 millions
of dollars per annum. The burdens of
the rich and the miseries of the poor
are at this hoar generally and rapidly
advancing. 'The majority of laborers
and’ their families throughout Eng
land are as completely hound or as
tricted to the parish, as the serfs
(slaves) in feudal times -were to the
| farm. The reviewer does not see how
such an increasing drain can'be long
supported, and says the pauper sys
tem threatens to involve land owners,
farmers and laborers in generaland
irretrievable ruin. He states that
the higher classes generally do not
trouble themselves about the lower
classes, and are often as ignorant of
the true state of the laboring popila
tion who are within a short distance
of their own doors, as if they belonged:
to another species.
Redundancy of population.—Popula
tion has been increasing for many
years in almost every town and ham
let;: parents cannot find places where
their children can earn an honorable
support; all trades, pursuits and pro
fessions are becomng more and more
overstocked; and multitudes of per
sons of all degrees and ages are mov
ing about without employment, use
less to themselves and aburden to the
public. “The reviewer recommends
emigration to the British colonies,
and would teach the people to regard
the colonies’as the promised land.
Eztravagance-—The prosp#rity of
the last 30 years has caused the most
extravagant notions and pretensions.
"The whole community have departed
from the simplicity, foresight and
frugality of their fathers, and indulged
in notions respecting dress, houses,
furntture, living, education, &e. which
‘no wealth ‘can support. - Many are
‘beginning to correct the evil, but the
upper classes are even now agreat
deal too lofty. As it ishopeless for
them to think of raising their fortune
to these ideas, they should bring down
their -ideas to the level of their for
tune. This is a duty which parents
should practice themselveés, and in
culcate on their offspring. .Such a
cliange will increase happiness with
out impairing reputation: [This is/
excellent advice, and necessary in the
United States as well as in Eng-
Jand.] Yey Pl N
_The reviewer next takes a view-of
the nature and acquired advantages of
Great Britain, which are very great
—insular situation, commerce, colo
lead, tin, copper, coal and iron, fisher
ies, sdln?pfirity of the climate, vast cap
ital of the ‘merchants and manufactur
ers, industrious and skilful laborers,
intellectual and moral worth of the
middling classes, &c. - With all these
advantages, the reviewer thinks that
'rEhglanfznnot rg@g%;egrf resent rank

every. succeeding year. will ;jenfk:r;
more, trying and severe. ' He is evi
‘dently. appvehensive that the: present
order of tlli_ngés’ff-i's verging to a great
revolution and to prevent. this; he
recomuiends that old incumbrances
should be removed, that every branch
of public and private economy should
be amended, that many ancient insti
tutions should be altered, & that those
things which obstruct the changes
- which the current of events is forcing
forward, should be taken away. He
" concludessas follows:—:Formidable
difficulties must ‘be encountered by
us at no great 'distance.” Let the aris
tocracy of England, let all who have
influence in this' land, bethink them
well what they are about. Let them
beware of rash actions and rash words.
Let them look before they leap.”—

DOMIESTIC.
The Central Bank.—The Milledge
vile Recorder of the 27th ult. says:
““The pencil of a Hogarth would have,
been inadequate to the representation
of the scene exhibited before the door
‘of the Central' Bank on Saturday last,
when the Bank was first opened to pay
out money. The State-House passage
near the- door of the Bank was crow
ded almost to suffocation—the weath
er melting hot. Impatience, anxiety,
hope ‘and fear were depicted in the
countenance of the multitude of ap
plicants for money, who had come
frem the extreme points of the State,
from East, West, North and South.
‘A little past ten o’clock the door of
the Bank was opened, whena rush
was made to be first at the -Cashier’s
desk--the room was istantly crammed
so full that those who wished to get
out found it very difficult to make
their escape—other passions were
then conspieuous in the ‘‘human face
divine”—joy, anger and despair.
This scéne, instructive to the indiffer
ent spectator, but at the same time
humiliating, continued throughout the
day.,’ § *
- Lamenieble Event.——Mry. John R.
Creecy, of Edenton, N. C. left home
several weeksago for Baltimore, and
for some time regularly corresponded
with Lis fanmly, after which no tidings
of him were received, untill very re
cently, when a letter from him was
found in the ,Post Office at Norfoil,
Va. directed to afriend, enclossing
the key of his trunk, which he stated
he. had sent home. The trunk was
found in Norfolk, and on examining it,
letters were discovered, in which he
mentioned his intention to destroy
himself, and that all search after him
would be fruitless, as he had fallen
on a plan to conceal his body.—'There
were many rumours atloat in regard
to this ‘mysterious affair. Some of
letters appear to have been written
very composedly—others' in a” wild
and incoherent manner. .
Commedore Porier.—~Capt. Miner,
of ‘the Lavinta, reports than an at
tempt had been made toassassinate
Com. Porter.. He had been ordered
to the City of Mexico, and on his way
thither, in company with a gentleman
from New York, and attended by two
servants, when about forty leagues
from Vera Cruz, he was attacked by
a party of mine horseman; two. of
whom had advanced to within a short
distance of him, when he turned and
discovered their intgntions=he instant
ly wheeled and shot one of them,
who turned out to be the leader, drew
his sword, and struck off the hand of
the other who had engaged him. The
rest seeing their leader fally fled.
The chief of the band, it is said is the
very man from whom the Commo
dore procured his horses for his jour
ney.—JMNew Orleans Jfrgus.

Tragical Occurrence.—-A letter
from a gentleman at Kingston, Upper
Canada, to his friend in this place,
mentions ‘the following melancholy
particulars: o ‘
On Friday the 4th of June, a young
woman arrived in Kingston claiming to
be the wife of Mr. Willis, a Portrait
Painter; but he refused to recognise
her as such, and advised her to return
to. Rochester, whence she had come.
Mortified and heartbroken with his
coldness and brutality—for she had
travelled alone and unprotected thro’
many towns of Canada in search of
him—she next evening procured some
arsenic, and poisoned herself on Sun
day morning. She lived for a few mif‘
nutes only after taking the arsenic.—
The testimony en the corener’s inquest
proved that her maiden name ¢
‘Lauwra'Butten—that she bid Leen a
‘millener in . Rochestei—tlat_ Wiliis
s A e w 8 e i ’
married fier in the spring of lastyear,
‘after an acquaintance oftwo or thiee
days—and that a few -él‘ays alter inar
riage, he set off for Canada, taking
with him. pait of her elothing. &q.
and promising to retufn or send for
her. After waiting considerable time,
without hearing from kLim, she departed
in search of him, and Ler fate on find
ing him was as above stated. Her.
funeral was attended by a number of
Canadians and Amevicans, all indignant
at the inhuman conduct of her hus
band. ; i
Murder.—Mahlon Dickinson, over
seer of Jos. Stiles, Esq. of Savannoh,
was recently murdered about 14
miles from the city, by two negros, &
boy and a girl, not more than 16 yea:s
of age. The instrument of violence
used, were an axe anda hoe. Hig
body was buried in the field by the
perpetrators, assisted by a fellow
slave of riper age, who witnessed the’
whole transaction at a short distance.
The three negroes have been arrested.
Mr. C. is said to have becn a humane
and worthy man, and no reason has
been assigned by the negroes con
cerned, for his nmrder, except, the
long and frequent instigations of {he
driver on the cstate. :
Shocking Dépravity.—A hox was
recently picked up,'en the mississippi,
near New-Orleans, contaming the
corps of a beautiful infant.——Eroni
its appearance, no doubt was enter
tained* of its having been born alive.
Hew lost to herself and to the world
—how lost to all fear of retributive
justice, either here or hereaffer—
how lost to every pange of humanity,
must that mother be, who, to the sa
crifice of her virtue, conld add the
crime of murder upon the inocent off
spring of her guilt! -
The Capitol.—The Capitol at Wash
ington is finished, and it is truly a
magnificent structure.—Rich shrub
bery has been well distributed in the
great enclosure ‘annexed to it, and
from the noble terrace on the west
side, the prospect includes the great
er part of Washington and George
town, and their lofty and picturesque
environs, and the river for some miles.
This scene, at the setting of the sun’
in fine weather, with the profound
stillness on every side, and the aspect
of the splendid edifice, is calculated
to make a deep impression on one
who paces the terrace at that hour. s
The silence, the repose, the absence
of all bustle, form a peculiar contrast
with the movement of every kind and
inevery: quarter, and the din of the
logocracy, during the session of Con+
gress. It is alone almost worth the
trouble of the journey to Washington.
