A LEAF FROM LLOYD'S.—No less than fitty-nine merchant ships were reported at Lloyd's as having been wrecked in two days, (during the awful storms of February last) including the Erin steamer, which it is now certain must have sunk with every soul on board. Not one Icing's ship, however, was lost. Now it is probable that had these merchant vessels been built on the plan of filling in the tim- bers, which Sir fl. Seppings introduced into the royal navy, and M r. Ballingall is now exerting himself so strenuously and patriotically to introduce along with other improvements into the merchant service, there is reason to believe that the greater part of them might have been saved.- Mechanics Magazine. HOW TO TAKE in A DEDIUS.-CIIURCH RE- FORM.-In the Court of King's Bench, on the 11th inst the Right Hon. Lord Teynham (who is. next to L')rd King, the most clamorous advocate for Church Reform) was found guilty of conspiring with one Donlan, a tailor, to procure £ 1,400 from one Didimus Langford, under the promise of obtaining him a situation under government! The Duke of Wellington was examined as a witness we copy his evidence from the Evening Mail. I received several letters of application for situations from Lord Teynham, when I was first Lord of the Treasury—one for his son or nephew I forget which. 1 declined acceding to any of those applications. I remember none for the name of Langford. I received another application from Lord Teynham, requesting me to solicit his Alajesty to create a gentleman of the name of Ives, a baronet; this application I also declined."—We have often lioaid of taking out a dedimus, but this is taking one in with a vengeance. Qui alterum accusat probri, eum ijisum se intueri oportet. p I ati tus. FATAL DUET. NEAlt DUBLIN.—A duel was lately fought in a field near Dolphin's Barns, between Mr. John power White, a very young gentleman, a native of Tip. perary, attended by the Hon. Mr. Butler, and an English gentleman, Mr. I. P. Weldon, who was attended by a Mr. Bodkin. At the first shot the ball of Mr. Weldon's pistoi entered Mr. White's forehead, and in a few minutes the unfortunate gentleman expired. His antagonist was deeply affected, and shed tears but, together with the seconds, shortly afterwards consulted his own safety by flight. The deceased gentleman had been lately concerned in a similar affair, and was considered an unerring marksman. The dispute out of which this melancholy occurrence arose took place at a coffee house in Dublin and, while both gentler men were hea.ted with wine, Mr White is reported by one of the witnesses to have said, You are a riiiitaii, and not fit to be met by a gentleman." On the ground, several attempts were made to reconcile the parties, but unfortu- nately without effect. No imputation of unfairness in this fatal conflict is made, and the verdict on the Coroner's Inquest was, that the deceased was killed in a duel by a pistol ball tired at him by John Peter Weldon, Esq.— Surely, in an age, which, with some just pretensions, is called an enlightened age, this worst relic of feudal barbarism ought to be extinguished. A court of honour, composed of proper persons, mighty appointed,to adjudge on violations of gentlemanly Icfj^Hrs jn aliv jn stance, the submissions exacted by such a court were not conformed to, it might be enacted that a disqualification to hold any commission in Ins Majesty's service, or to sit in either house of the legislature, or to practise a learned profession, should follow. But the decisive course, which most of all would give effect to such an institution, and would at the same time redeem the character for intelli- gence of the age, ,9' tlla^ a Person guilty of contumacy against the decision °^S,IC{1 court should be considered ton have lost caste, and should be no longer invited, or even admitted, into well-bred society.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 9. The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions from Chichester and Steyning* for the immediate abolition of slaverv.-Lord SUFEIEI.D presented 100 SIMILAR petitions from different places. COTTON DUTIES. Lord AUCKLAND moved the order of the d.iy for their lordships resolving themselves into a committee on the Cotton Duties' Act. The noble lord was un- derstood to express the satisfaction which ministers felt at being able to reduce a lax wliieh pressed hea- vily and injuriously on the cotton manufacture. Lord ELLErsBOROUGH took the opportunity to I advert to the small surplus revenue which he saw that the noble lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer had calculated on the revenue of one year only, instead of taking the average of several years, and he ought to have remembered that the harvest last year was unu- sually abundant. He had no right to calculate upon such a surplus next year. It was, however, by the surp'us revenue that former ministers had preserved the < r dit of the country, kept up the price of the funds, and been enabled to reduce the interest of the debt somewhere about four millions since the peace. With respect to the present duties, he reminded the ministers that they had laid on this duty which they now candidly described as a most injurious tax. He had pointed out to thein at the time the impolicy of increasing the tax on India cotton, and they had ab- stained from doing it. He wafc happy to say that the consequence had been that the quaniily of cotton im- por ed from India had considerably increased since 1&3;>, while the quality had been much improved. It now fetched 8d. per lb., and was equal to the average of the North-American cotton. He would suggest the propriety of removing all the duty on East India cotton. The Earl ofRlPON contended that, in point of fact, the surplus revenue had at any time contributed very little to the reduction of the national debt. It had been effected by the reduction of the rate of interest. The way in which the reduction was now going on, was by the conversion of perpetual into terminable annuities. With respect to the reduction on India cotton, he did not beiieve that would make any sensible reduciion in its price, or much promote its con- sumption. Lord ELLENBOROUGH explained, and adverted also to the increased wine duties of last year; which, he said, instead of yielding 250,0001. additional reve- nue, had actually caused a loss to the revenue of ,5,0t)01. By that increased duty the comfort of the people had been diminished, and the revenue of the country impaired. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to say, that a part of the disappointment arose from the discouragement which the consnmptiou of the lighter ■wiiiea had received, in consequence of the disease which prevailed. The propriety of the system on which his Majesty's ministers had acted, of relieving indus- try as much as possible, was exemplified by the great increase which had taken place in the manufacture of printed cottons but they were only enabled to take the duty oft' tbem by the help of that small duty on the raw material which they had imposed, and which they were now happy to remove. After a few words in explanation from Lord AUCK- IAND and Lord ELLENBOROUGH, the bill went through a committee. On the motion for the second reading of the Tiles' Duties Repeal Bill, Earl DELAWARE inquired if the bill repealed the duty on draining tiles, which, by mistake, had been omitted in a former bill ? Lord AUCKLAND said that the present bill re- pealed the duties upon every description of tiles ma- nufactured in Great Britain. The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed next day. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 9. This being the day appointed for taking the ballot upon the Tiverton election, the members assembled at four o'clock, and there being only 71 present, the l house adjourned. .$ HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 10. After the presentation of several petitions hy noble lords, Earl GREY laid upon the table the papers moved for by Lord Aberdeen relative to the occupation of Algiers by the French. STAFFORD ELECTION BRIBERY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill. Lord LYNDHUIVST remarked that the firt clause of the bill went to indemnify not merely wi!nesses but all persons concerned m bribing the electors of Stafford. And this clause had been inserted. not ac- cidentally but by design, for the bill in all other respects was framed as similar bills to prevent bribery had been framed, except when an alteration was necessary to suit the purposes of the framers of this bill. He mentioned this merely to put their lordships on their guard with respect to bills coming to them from the other house. Lord WYNFORD hoped their lordships would so alter the bill m committee that the indemnity provided for witnesses, should not extend to principals, in b The^Earl of RADNOR said that this bill was brought into the house under the Grenville act, and that this accounted for the difference in it from the other bil's- The bill was then ordered to be read a second time, and committed on Monday. Several uther bills advanced a stage, and the house ndjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 10 Among scveal petitIOns on, various subjects was one presented by Sir R-ron» Clogher and Belfast, and numerous otheis from places in ]reland fop sQme measure for the better observance of the Sabbath. Mr-1 EV- infr of .h a Pe,'l>on from South Shields complaining of the injury sustained by the embargo on Dutch shipping. In answer to a question from Col. Percival, Lord ALTHORP said that the office of chief secretary for Ireland was not yet filled up, and it was riot in his power to say when it would be filled. FACTORIES BILL. Lord ASHLEY requested to know when the paper he had asked for relating to the condition of the children in the factories would be laid on the table. Mr. LAMB answered that the papers alluded to should be laid on the table as soon a3 possible. SirT. FREJIANTLE observed that the returns ho tlacl moved for relative to English and foreign corn had not yet been laid on the table. ° THE DUTCH EMBARGO. On the order of the day being moved, for the house going into a committee of supply, Mr Alderman THOMPSON called the attention of the house to the violation of the good understanding between this country and Holland, and the consequent injuries to British commerce, that had been made by the Dutch embargo. It was difficult to imagine for what respectable purpose this embargo was con- tinued; but certainly no respectable purpose was answered by it. If the King of [jollaiid had acted upon a similar principle, seized our ships in his harbours, which, at the time pf the imposition of the embargo, were double the number of the Dutch vessels in OUr harbours, there would tWeu have been a most imminent chance of war. Some idea of the dissatisfaction which prevailed on the subject might be gathered from the petition which had that night been presented by the hon. member for South Shields. He had abolition on tiie same subject to present from the shipowners of Sunderland, another had been promised by the hon. member for Newcastle, and they were all aware of -the petition which had emanated from the meeting in the city of London on this subject. The number of English vessels released from the port of Sunderland for Holland last year was 321, their tonnage 5,861 tons. The number of foreign vessels cleared from J the same port, during the same period was 78. But tit present 34J ships were lying in that pbrt totally unemployed, and, he fegrctted to say, with scarce any prospect of employment. During the same period 1200 ships entered the port of Rotterdam. The average tonnage for that period was 179,4S8 tons. The amount of British manufactures exported during the same period was 4,631,OOpl. The effect, therefore, of the measure adopted by government was to throw all this capital out of emp'oyment. The evil results to the commercial interests of the country were like- wise increased by the state of our present relations with Portugal. Government, instead of shutting up, ought to have opened every outlet for our commercial activity. But the number of ships deprived of em- ployment in consequence of the measures adopted towards these countries now amounted 2,000, and the tonnage to 22,000 tons. The trade of London evinced a great falling off, and he had no doubt but that the same causes were operating ou trade generally. Had a similar injury, he would ask, resulted to the com- mercial interests of the Hollanders themselves? Oil the contrary, it would he found that the shipowners of Holland had contrived to nullify, in a great measure. the object for which the order in council was adopted. By means of transferring their cargoes to the vessels of neutral powers, they were now carrying on a trade most profitable with this country. The conscqueuces which the promulgation of the orders in council had bad on our foreign trade were equally injurious. If they looked to South America and Jfce United States, they would find that the British shipsco»ld not obtain shipments from foreign mcrchihts, consequence of the impression which was eutertaiuea of the state of relations between England and Holland. One evil result was the rise in the rate of freight and insurance for British vessels. Our merchants had to ray at the present moment 100 per cent. more for those charges than foreigners were called upon to pay. The same causes had also affected our eastern trade. It was evident that British commercial interests were suffer- ing in every quarter of the globe. He could hardly conceive that any matter in dispute between this country and Holland could justify the infliction of So grievous an injustice as the imposition of the embargo. He was informed besides that in proportion as the difficulties which resulted from those measures pressed upon the Dutch people, their spirit of resistance and attachment to their King received an accession. Nor had their commerce, in reality, been subject to the same inroads of distress as ours. It had, on the contrary, totally escaped nor had there been one com- mercial failure in that country since the 6th of Nov. last. The worthy alderman then moved as an amend- ment for an account of all vessels detained in conse- quence of the Order in Council of the 6th of November last, specifying their names, tonnage, &c. Mr. G. YOUNG considered that the Dutch embargo crippled the English commerce, and not that of the Dutch, who only adopted the expedient of carrying Oil the trade in neutral ships. He had heard that appli- cation bad been made to the British government that eig-ht English vessels might trade to Haarlem for butter and cheese, and eight Dutch vessels to Liver- pool for salt, and that this application had been refused. Lord PALMERSTOff said that he did not intend to oppose the returns moved for; but the embargo, severe as it was, was not a more severe measure of coercion, than the pertinacity of the King of Holland deserved. Much had been said about cargoes of a r perishable nature being injured by the embargo, but he could tell the house that an application had been made to release a Dutch ship upon this ground, when, in fact, the cargo turned out to be iron. (Laughter.) He was decidedly of opinion that it was illegal for a British subject to insure property in foieign vessels against the effect of an embargo laid on by the King's orders, and he moreover deemed such conduct any- thing but patriotic. Mr. LYALL confirmed what bad been said of this embargo in driving commerce from British to Ameri- can shipping. He was convinced that the sense of the country was opposed to this treatment of our old ally, Holland, whose attachment to this country had been so often and so strong-Iy proved. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said that there could be no doubt of the illegality of underwriting foreign property uude." the circumstances stated, whether the insurance was made before oi after the embargo. There was a great difference between the situation of Holland at the periods spoken of and the present at the former periods Holland was at the head of free governments, but now the King of Holland is attached to legitimacy. (Loud cheers.) Yes, attached to the legitimacy of the Holy Alliance, to put down free institutions. Mr. BAlUNG was astonished at the sentiment ex- pressed by the learned gentleman, who had paid the hichest compliment that he could pay to the King of Holland. (Hear, hear.) He had received letters from some of the greatest shipping ports in 'America for cotton, proving the fact of the great disadvantage to British shipping in the importation of an article of such vast consumption in England as cotton. He could not see at all what the policy of the government was driving at, except to support their new protege the King of Belgium. It should be recollected that the other powers of Europe did not unite with France and England in coercing Holland. The noble lord (Palmerston; was undoubtedly well skilled in diplo- macy; but he (Mr. B.) was inclined to think he was sacrifising the interests of England to the superior diplomacy of the French government. The noble lord bad been most unfortunate in his mediations, (hear,) for they all turned out to be injurious to British in- terests and beneficial to foreign powers. The learned Solicitor General had laid it down as law that insu- rance was illegal under the circumstances stated f but he could tell that learned gentleman that the underwriters considered themselves liable to such insurance. The SOLICITOR GENERAL explained. Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to the taunts thrown out against the diplomacy of his noble friend, said that ministers had only followed the course chalked out by the policy of the preceding administration. Sir ROBERT PEEL said the immediate question was less on the principle of the embargo than on whe- ther the embargo itself was calculated to effect the object for which it had been imposed. The hon. and learned Solicitor General had stated that in point of fact this was not a question between Belgium and Holland about territory, but that Holland had fled for refuge to Courts known to be advocates of legitimacy. The learned gentleman, it was true, had afterwards explained what he meant by legitimacy, as if he had ac been called upon as a writer of a dictionary. How. ever desirable the settlement of the points in dispute, ministers were net justified in sacrificing for that object the trade of British subjects by this embargo. If a vessel with iron on board represented her cargo as perishable, what did that prove but that commerce was placed out of the pale of law, and was obliged to resort to such practices. There was no law in the case, and commerce was placed under the direction of the Crown Officers. Sorely this was a power very improperly lodged, and which it was simof-I impossible to exercise impartially. The right hon. bart. contended with great ability, that the embargo was not justifi- able except against a state with which we were at war, and that as a measure of coercion it utterly failed in eifect. Mr. JOHN HODGSON said that before the embargo the trade of Sunduland and Newcastle with Holland had employed áOOshipF; in the export of about 170,000 tons of coal, all which trade was now suspended.. Dr. LUSHINGTON contended that the embargo was a measure of sound policy, and calculated to avoid Of en hostilities with Holland. Mr. POLLOCK and Sir R. ISGLIS strongly con- demned the embargo. Lord ALTHORP said that the case was one in which the house ought not to iuteifeie, but to leave the government of the country to decide the question with a view to preserve the general peace ot Europe. Mr. ROBINSON condemned the embargo as an ill- fringement on the trade of British merchants, and which could not be effective in producing the end proposed. After a few words from Lord 1 almerston, Mr. Aid. Thompson withdrew his motion. AFFAIRS OF TURKEY On the motion that the house go into a committee of supply, Mr. HUME made some strong animadversions on the inefficient manner in which bis Majesty's iuteicsts are represented at the Sublime I orte, and moved for a return of the number of ambassadors sent from this country to that court since the year 1327. Lord PALMERSTON had no objection to the re- turn moved for, and was satisfied that when it was laid on the table, the house would approve of the policy which his Majesty's ministers had pursued. Mr. BARING and Mr. BULwER both censured the course pursued by government, after which Mr. Hume withdrew his motion. In reply to a question from Mr. Baring, Lord ALTHORP said the question of the bank charter would he brought forward the latter end of next week; and the qucstion of the East India charter during this session, though he could not say when.

Many petitions were presented for the abolition of slavery. On presenting one from Birmingham, Lord SUFFIELD said the plan published as that of ministers was partial, impracticable, and protracted. The Earl of WINCIIILSEA, adverting to the triuI of Lord Teynham, was interrupted by The LOHD CHANCELLOR, who said that the conviction was not yet complete, as it might by possi- bility be set aside before the four days of the next term elapsed. He therefore hoped the noble lord would defer for the present bringing the question forward. The Earl of WINCHILSEA complied wi:h the re- quest of the noble lord. Several petitions were presented against slavery. The Earl of ELDON moved for a committee on the Chancery Offices Abolition Bill.—Agreed to. After several petitions on various subjects had been presented, their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 13. Mr. BENETT moved that the report cf the com- mittee on the Bath aud Warminsler Road Bill be read. Mr. H. BARlNCi moved an amendment, ou which, after some discussion, the house divided. For the motion 49 For the amendment 37 Majority -) 2 Several petitions were presented, principally againss slavery. Mr. WILLIAMS presented 31 petitions to Ihi effect from various Christian congregations in Wales he also presented one from a magiulrate against the beer bill. SECOND SITTING.—FIVE O'CLOCK. Mr ABERCROMBY brought up the report of the Tiverton election committee, declaring the election of Mr. Kennedy void. Mr. SLANEY brought in a bill for promotint sccieties for procuring employment for the poor. Read a first time. On the motion of Lord ALTHORT that the house go into a committee on the Irish church temporalitier.' bill, after the presentation by Sir R. PEEL and Mr. GOULBOURN, of several petitions against this bill, Mr. LEFftOY stated his objections to the bill. It went to deprive the Irish clergy of their property, and to impose upon them a tax from which the lay impropriators of tithes were exempt. It invaded the right by which property of every kind was held, and applied the property of the church to other than eccle- siastical purposes. The tone of legislalion of this bill was such as would not be tolerated if it were even whispered, as about to be applied to the En-INh church. A board of commissioners, five of them to be laymen, were to be appointed in lieu of the board of first fruits. By this, the church of Ireland would be placed under the contiol of the government, and the influence of th church be used by government for electioneering purposes. The honourable and learned gei.tleman went over the objections to the bill with great force, and concluded by warning the house that the first step in the French revolution was the spoli- ation of the church. Aa HON. M EMBER condemned the bill for applying revenues which are the property of the church to se- cular purposes, Mr. O'CONNELL would support the bill, though it fell far below what, from the noble lord s (AJthorp) description he had expected it to be. In his opinion the only good point about the bill was that it established es t! e principle, that Parliament had a right to interfere with (hurct property. Lord ALTHORP said the bill did not go far enough to satisfy the hon. and learned gentleman, nor \vas°it ever intended that it should do so. (A laugh ) If the clauses in the bill were not sufficiently stringent to to abolish the vestry cess entirely, other clauses should be introduced that were so. Mr. GOULBURN was not opposed to the removing of the vestry cess from the people of Ireland, but this bi I went to cut do\\n the very roots of the Protestant establishment in that country. The number of bishops was not too great, and it should be borne in mind that there were four Irish bishops attending' parliament in every session, and if the number were reduced to 12, there would be only eight left during the session of parliament to attend to the interests and duti s of the established church in Ireland. Another objection to the abo'ition of these bishoprics in his mind was the great benefit the country derived from the constant residence of the bishops in their sees. The benevo- lence and active humanity of those excellent indivi- dua's were well kitovii and appreciated in the neigh- bourhoods where they resided. He was himself ia Ireland in 1822 at the time a famine raged there, and he hai then ample opportunity of seeing the kindness and charitable exertions of the bishops of the estab- lished church in the different parts of the country. At the time too that the cholera prevailed in Ireland, and when numbers of the resident gentry from prudential motives quitted the country, the Protestant bishops remained on the spot to console and assist the'a[dieted. Mr. HUME said that the Irish church was a nuisance, and there would never be peace in Ireland till it was I ut down. He would have all the church lands in Ireland sold and appropriated as Parliament thought fit. Mr. VERNON and Sir R. BATESON condemned the violent language of the hon. member for Middlesex,, whose ignorance of the subject on which he spoke, the lion, baronet said, was as conspicuous as his language was violent. That hon. member had even spoken of rutting donin the Protestant religion in Ireland, and the noble lord at the head of his Majesty's government had supposed that even if the Catholic religion were ti e established religion of Ireland, it would not endanger the union between the two countries. After som farther discussion the house went into committee, pro formd, and postponed the discussion of the clauses, till Wednesday. The Limitation or Actions Bill, and the Dower Bill went through committee, Mr. ELI.ICE gave notice of a motion that the house should tomorrow resolve itself into a committee to receive the plan proposed by his Majesty's government for the emancipation (,f the layes in the West India colouies.-Adjoufued.
