It was be hoved by many that the prorogation would extend to O c tober, and by some, that the present Cortes would not again assemble.

GERNIANY.—I'aussis.—BERUN, MAY B.—Pma- LIIIIN A RIC DEBATE ON THE DECLARATION Or TRB 137 LIBERAL DEPUTIEB.—The proceedings in the meetinfi L r the three estates en the 4th inst. are reported in the A swiss l'reussische Zeittuw of this day. The order of the y was the further consideration of the separate paragraphs of the reprt on the proposed law for excluding improper cha racters from the diet ; and in fact the first and second parr graphs were definitively adopted, and some progress made with the third. But the chief interest of the - melon centred in the disposal of the diclaretion of the liberal deputies. The marshal of the diet proposed that this document, which was presented as a motion of M. Vincke, cm the ground of 'its relating to a subject diseased is a meeting of all the estates, must be referred to the marshal of the first estate, in order to its being made a sub ject of joint deliberation. This proposal was objected to by N. Vincke on the ground that it was not competent for the marshal iso to dispose of it. The subjects foe which the law prescribed joint deliberation related either to the contraction of state loans, or to the introduction of now or increase of old taxes All other matters were to be discussed apart by the two chambers (kurien). The marshal signed that the de bate on the declaration would be a mere prolongation of the debate on the address, and as that took place in the combined chambers, so ought this. M. von Avecswald suggested that this was a mistaken view of the case. The combined chambers had agreed to exclude the consideration of special quaticsis of rights. This decla ration of rights, therefore, was a sae*: upon which they bad positively not entered, The Wag M. von Mantendel combatted this view. M. von Beektragh, Count Schwerin, and M. von Saveken, after proulaing that they hid set signed the declaration, contended,'in COMM with Y. vim Vincke, that it ought to be discerned in the chanther ef the three estates, not in the combiaed chants's. The rawer von Manteuffel contended that the doeimistism was Meow *Anti/mai, and proposed that it should be returned to the member who had embodied it in a modes. Neat Yes Oreisenan reminded the meeting that be was one of these who had opposed the framing of the video's in the combined chambers: only the novelty of their position had prevented his tendering a protest against that mode of pro ceeding. M. Van Beckerath repelled the imputation that it was unconstitutional to bring the decimation ender the notice of the chamber by quoting the second clause of the regulations for their proceedings, which specially enumerates "declarations" among the subjects ofdiscuesion. M. Mayhem indicated the source of the ohjections to a joint debate on the declaration. The law of the 3rd of February limits the number of notes allowed to the First Estates in joint deliberations on financial questions. In the diseassion en the address each member of the First Estate voted, and thus the limited number of votes allowed them was ex ceeded. A fear was entertained that this would be done in the debate on the declaration, and that thus a minority of the three estates might be made to appear a majority by the supplementary votes of the first estate. The marshal, after listening patiently and fairly to every member who wished to speak, adhered to his original resolution, and gave M. Viacke hie choice either to have his motion ransmitted to the marshal of the first estate for joint deliberation, Of to have it returned to him. M. Von Vincke de clared hie intention to protest against this decision. The law under which they were assembled made it impera tive to refer every regularly-male motion to a com mittee, whatever its subject matter might be. As, however, be could only protest, of the alternative offers made to him 1)3 the marshal he preferred the first—he begged to have his motion transmitted to the Marshal of the First Estate. He could only speak for himself, however, not for the other 136 members. A number of thou gentlemen rose, however, to express their coincidence in his choice, and here the matter ended for the time. It appears frost this discussion that a number of members who declined to Bhp the declaration ap prove of its substance ; that another modes stand half-way between those libendo and the miesiMine; that the ministers are net prepaeod te board the liberal members in the rash mode proposed by the Toe Mananalie ; and that they dare not emanater a vote el the repressmattess of the lilmes Estate' on a question of sonatitational petwasge easupperied by the votes of the high melsilkwhio,lce fis4 sws right, constitute the chamber of the PIM MOM A Wiry sea skilful game is playing in doe esamisatissal hem beswesa the liberals and the court party ; and the latter erefisessas too much—they gain by . fe it at present, but betray asionloss weakness by A curious episode in the day's a CetedbllP was a perfect storm of complamta from MI Aida t the Im. eeetwory of the short-hand reports.

Mr. T. J. Burgoyne, a director, in the chair. The secretary reed the report, wh ich stated that since the establishment of the emaciation in 1817, above 16,0001. had been appropriated to the families of members of the profession, and the fund assented to 20,0001. A donation of 1001. had been received from Mr. Wm. Tidd, the author of " Tidd's l'ractice." There had been received 1,4281. Dis. 3d., in which were in cluded 6891. Is. annual subscriptions, and 1211. 16s. life sabeeriptions. After paying all expenses, there was a balance in hand of 1801. 13s. The report was received, and eight directors were elected in the room of three going out by ro tation, and u there had been only five new members, a resolution was agreed to, authorisiag the directors to adopt some steps to make the benefits of the society better known among the profession. CIIURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—The twelfth annual meeting of this society was held yesterday at Exeter hall. Lord Ashley presided. The secretary read the report —a volume of some 60 double-columned printed pages— which which stated, that during the part year the Earl of Denbigh , Earl Waldegrave, and the Bishop of Melbourne, had accepted the office of vice-patrons ; and Lord Teignmouth that of vice-president. The total receipts of the year have been 29,9411. 6s. 10d., exhibiting an increase of 7,4351. 9..3d. over dram of the preceding. Of this large increase, however, 7,3211. arose from the munificent legacy of the late John Scott, Esq. Of this sum the committee had this year appropriated only 2,0001., investing the remainder in Long Annuities, terminating in 1860, and producing 5181. per annum • the available income may, therefore, be reckoned at 24,6401. 6s. 10d., while the expenditure has been 24,8001. No fewer than 119 new grants had been made in the year, four of which were for chaplains over labourers on rail roads. Eight grants, _amounting to 6601., have been made to clergymen appointed to new districts, who are ultimately to be endowed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners • and 11 amounting to 1,0201., are for curates to have especiil charge of districts intended eventually to be formed into district parishes. Seven grants, amounting to 1571., have been made towards fitting up school-rooms, which are to be licensed for the celebration of divine service in populous and poor dis tricts. The remaining grants were for 62 curates and 37 lay.assistnnts, to assist incumbents in populous and widely extended parishes. The incumbents thus aided by the society, in number 114, have under their care an charge population of 627,207, or each, on the average, has of 6,600 • while the average amount of the incomes of th ese iocumbsntsi is only 1741. per annum, and no fewer then 79 of them have no parsonage houses. The society now aids in all 314 incumbents, having under their charge a population of 2,193,560, or each, on an average, 6,977 ; and 173 are without personae houses. The committee have now before them 52 applications, requiring an annual expenditure of 3,4701. The report, under the head of results, then went into a long statement of eases in which the benefits conferred on the clergymen and their parishes by these grants of the society were shown. The Wight Rev. Bishop of Winchester moved the adoption of the report, and urged upon the meet ing that it was their duty to make strenuous efforts to sup port the society. They must remember that although there seemed to be a lupe increase in the income, it was only owing to the gift of a tingle friend, and that actually the expenditure had exceeded the income by nearly 2001. The Right Rev. the Bishop of Oxford seconded the resolution ; with the adoption of which, and others of a routine nature, the sasethes eisesd. PRAYER BOOR AND HOMILY SOCIETY.—An an nual us .

METROPOLITAN BENEFIT SOCIETIES' ASYLUM. — The anniversary dinner in aid of the funds of the above society was held last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern. About seventy gentlemen were present, Viscount Ebrington, M.P., presiding. The committee announced that the asolura is the Ball's Pond-read, Islington, containing at present 36 aged and infirm members of benefit societies, and their wives, was now full ; and that there were 37 persons in houses rented ter them in the neighbourhood, until the wings of the asylum could be built. 'eke amount requisite for that purpose was estimated at 4,0001., towards the raising of which sum the dinner was given. The toast of the even ing, " Prosperity to the Metropolitan Benefit Societies' Asylum," was proposed by the chairmen, who regretted that he could say little about the merits of the sociery, haring bad no opportunity of becomiug personally acquainted with them; he could, however, speak of it. prancipie, which ap peare to him one of the most valuable that could be de vised; and he considered that the society contrasted favourably with other modes of charity, because its great object was to help those who had already endeavoured to help them, selves. When he said that upwards oP 9,0001. had 'been collected, and that Ili persons had been supported in their declining years, of whom 54 were at present re-ident within the asylum, he thought that he need say no more to recom mend the toast to their warmest reception, and the institu tion to their utmost liberality. The toast was drunk with due honours, and was followed by the healths of the vice presidents, vice-patrons, and other officers of the institution ; and of the VOICOUOLOPE Ebrington, proposed by Lord Robert (Moments. Lord John Manners then proposed the chair man's health, observing upon his lordship's high principles, and zealous activity in discharge of his dude*, both public and private—virtues which a friendship of many years had enabled him fully to mark and to appreciate. The toast was received with considerable warmth, and, after some similar compliments to various gentlemen, the party brake up. The subscriptions during the evening amounted to 3201. 19a, which included 251. trim the Queen, and 20!. from the chair man of the day. ROYAL SOUTH LONDON DISPENSARY.—The 26th anniversary festival of this charity took place yesterday at the Albion Tavern, Aldcrogate•street. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge in the chair. About seventy gentle. men sat down to dinner. Him royal highness, in proposing the toast of the evening, " Success to this oyal Charity, expressed it as his opinion that dispensaries ranked among the very first class of charitable institutions. In the course of the evening Mr. W. 2alserorthy, the honorary secretary, read the subscription INDI. which amounted to 3501. The balance sheet shows that the receipts of the year had been 6881. 134.4 d. ; while the expenditure had been 6321.175. 3d. ; thus leaving a balance in hand of 531. 16s. Id. Upwards of 37,000 patients have been relieved by the institution since its foundation; the largest number in one year having been 4,904; but during the post year, owing to the limited state of the funds, the number had been considerably less. The best male linger was Mr. If emit, whose valuable services the managers of these amusements would do well to secure. The lady singers ware the Bases Williams, who, in each of the tour songs they sung, or took part in, were enthusiastically **cored. At about ten o'clock his royal highness withdrew, when the chair wan taken by Mr. Kemble, M.P., under whose presidentship the company continued to enjoy them selves tad they separated. DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN'S SOCIETY.—A fancy tires ball was given at the Hanover-square Rooms last evening, in aid of the above society. At 10 o'clock, the National Anthem was petformed, and those of the com pany who wore fancy costumes entered the ball-room, form , tug a procession, preceded by six " sisters of charity " bear- ing banner, with mottoes, some loyal, and others relating more directly to the charity. This being conducted with con siderable taste, and bi ing, moreover, entirely new, was as en tirely successful. The pleasure which ' this procession appeared to give to the company was perhaps partly attributable to the bat:that the "sisters of charity" were all of them sufficiently pretty, not merely to bear, but to adorn, the somewhat trying ears of plain white, with long white veils. There was a fair sprinkling of fancy dresses in the room, which was by no means crowded. We did not stay till a fter the opera, but doubtless at its close the company at the ball received many acquisitions therefrom. SIR 8,. PEEL'S CURRENCY MEASURES.—Sir,—I see by your report of the currency debate in the House of Com mons last evening, that Sir Robt. Peel still endeavours to per sastle the heuae that the various periodical embarusmente of oar commercial affairs are by no means to be attributed to the stem of money we have adopted on his recommendation. Sir Robert still adheres to his old plan of offering some other plausible explanation te account for the palpable calamities which have constantly befallen the commerce of the country since his currency doctrines have been acted upon by the nation. Thus it has ever been with Sir R. Peel and his sepperters. When the occurrence of our commercial ern- Ineseemeuts is charged upon our monetary system, it is re plied that this system has had nothing to do with producing them—that they have arisen from totally different causes. At first it was tramition limo war to peace, then over-trading, bed harvests, over-speculation, de., do. • and now, in 1847, it is the failure of the potato crop, and chi eonsequent necessity of importing so much additional corn, and that Sir R. Peel's monetary system has had nothing to do with it. Now, sir, it is not denied that the various oc currences alluded to above may have been the active canoes, in the first instance, of producing the derangement is the latency system, but what is to be lamented and condemned ' Is, that our money system should be of such a nature es Is heaspable of such derangement by such occureuces. Wade not say that our potato crop was destroyed by mar errensess currency laws, but we do say that it is monstrous that, be cause we have unfortunately lost our potatoes, we should sisal lone our currency—that, because we have been deprived alms ' article, we should in consequence be deprived of the reprmeata- Bee of all ether articles We want, air, a system of money that will be at our service under al! circumstance% that may 00011 f.

'IRE DUCHIES OF PARKA & Sta,—ln the Express of Saturday, the let of May, my attention has beep directed to your correspondent's letter ham Milan, eastaining some very interesting details o gna nlt . cy s i and after referring to the deplorable state of &- to which the inhabitants of Parma and Plaisance are reduced, under the actual form of government, allusion is made •' to the ex-Emprose Maria Louisa's wish to dispose of these duchies at the present moment to the Duke of Lucca fora million of ducats, provided any good Samaritan or Israelite in London will advance the money to purchase her out, in consequence of these possessions reverting to the Duke of Lutes by the lest treaty of Vienna. The irepouibility of obtaining aeons to enlightened works on historical or p oli tical subjects in all parts of the Austrian &minions, sufficiently explains any inaccuracy into which your correspondent may have been led, fur this clause ol reservation does not exist in the treaty . signed at Vienna. I am therefore desirous to state that, neither by the life grant of these posstaions with °email's, to the Duchess of Parma, or in virtue of any treat* duripg my minority, in 1616 at Vienna, or 1817 at Paris, could such a result be tolerated, in ' accordance with my hereditary rights u • sovereign prince, and the laws of nations; and I feel convinced that men just and satisfactory compensations might be awarded to the Duke of Lucca, without prejudice to his interests or encroach ment upon prior olefins. It will suffice to observe that :luastalla was purchased of Torelti in the year 1539, by Prince Ferrante Gomm" eon of our ancestor, in direct line John Fnneoli Geaeega, Duke of Mantel, and Indult; d'Este ; and this possession was erected into a sovereign duchy in 1621, by the Emperor of Germany, Ferdinand 11., in favour of Ferrante H. of Geezer; and his descendants. Guastalla was incorporated by Austria, without the shadow of a right, with the duchies of Parma and Plaisance, during the minority of my grandfather Prince Philippe Louis de Gonzaga, only six y ea of age, on the death of Gonzage, Duke of Guastalla, in 1746. My protestations against this act are addressed to the so vereigns of Europe on the 26th April, 1843, the 21st of June, 1846, and a,so an important article on this subject may be referred to in the Gazette de France, of Feb. 3, 1842. With regard to the duchies of Parma and Plaisance, various revo lutions have taken place in these states. The Otho 111., by a diploma dated at Home, the 11th true:, 996, confirmed Bernard 1., Prinoe of Gump, in his rights, as Count Sovereign of Parma for him and his deseendamm. Prince Henry of Gonzaga (son of Addbert 1., of °omega, by the grace of God Count Sovereign of Milan, of Twine, and of Valli* Prince of Lombardy, and Marquis of Goa saga) married in 1071 Imelda of Parma, great pais& daughter of Bernard 1., Count of Parma. On this marriage the Emperor Henry of IV., of Germany, erected Parma into a Marquise; by diploma dated the 24th of June, 107.5, in favour of the above-mentioned Henry of floorage, and his descendants in &lithe branches of the family. The Marquisat of Parma belonged to the house of Gump until the revolution in Italy during the 14th century, when Parma became a republic. In 1545 the Holy See being in tranquil possession of this state, the Pope, Paul 111., formerly known as Alexander di Famine, disposed of it in favour of his rela tion, Peter Louis Famine, first Duke of Parma, Pleasures, and Castro, who, being unpopular, was assassinated on the 10th September, 1647, and (Um; some opposition on the part of the Emperor Charles V. who had announced his resolution to Ferrante di Clonasiga, Duke of Guastalla, in 1548, to favour the restoration of the Gonzages) his am, Octavio Faruese, was confirmed in the nuns rights and titles on his marriage with Marpret d'Antriela a natural daughter of the Emperor's. Parma end its were assured to the house of Faradae nearly twos centuries, until the death of Antonio Famine, the last Duke of Parma, on the 20th February, 1731. The treaty of the Quadruple Alliance, art. sth, says, " The duchies of Parma, Plabeis, and Tuscany , are held as masculine Itch of the empire. " When the succomeinn of these suites shall be open (what' they scald only be on the death of the Duke Gomm; of Genital/a, and the Princes of GonsagnCestiglioae authentically acknowledged as rightful heirs by the treaties) they will be given to the eldest son of Elizabeth Funks second wife of Philip V. of Spain. Art. 3rd of the dasty of Vienna (18th Much, 1781) says, " The emperor accords the succession of Parma to Don Carlos, Infanta of Spain, and promises to dispose the other states of the empire to assent to this arrangement, en modi fies that no prince bean og the aroma of Spain should possess these states.' Bat the Pope Clement AI I. not only for mally opposed this treaty, but also the entry of the Spaniards iota these duchies; declaring that Parma and Plaisance were fiefs Immediately emanating from the Holy Su, and that in default of the above-meutioned male heirs ha alone had the right to dispose of these duchies. 'ffse Pope's pretattation against the right of investiture is dated the 30th of Hozember, 1731. The prise de possession in the terns of the Infanta of Spain wee on the 29th of Oc tober, 1731. Don Carlos and his brother Philippe, Infanta, of Spain, abdicated successively the Duchies of Parma and Plaisance for the crowns of Spain and Naples, consequently our rights to these possessions as male fiefs are proved, and by succession in the female line established by the following marriages : 1. Margaret Farah., daughter of Alexander Duke of Parma and Plaisance, married in 1581 Vincent Gonzap, Duke of Mantua. 2. Marcella di Malaspina, grawidaughter'ot Francis Farneze, Duke of Later., married an 161.1 Prince Christian Gonzaga Castiglione Solferino, my ancestor in direct line. 3. Isabella di Martinangn, grand daughter of Ramos 1., Farces. Duke of Parma and Plenums, married, in 1647, Prince Charles V., Gauss& Prince of Cutiglioae, &Bovine, and Medole, my great great.great-gnudtather. 4. The Princess CUtteria Cara cuolo St. Buono, grand-daughter of Lavinia Famine and the Marquis d'Avales, married, in 1721, Prince Francois Gonsapallaatua-Ceatiglione, my great•great-grandfatber. In presence of thou facts, it will be perceived that the treaties which bind all interests, and which are the political code of nations, have been forgotten on my minority is 1816, and during the minorities of my father and grand father ; or retarded whenever the princes of this royal house reclaimed that justice so solemnly promised, to reinstate them in thaw sovereign rights. Guastilla, Parma, and Plaisance, during the last century, belonged to no person definitely ; at one time the emperor pretends to dispose of them to Spain, and Spain dispose , ' of them to the emperor. And in virtue of what right do these princes act ? The treaties do not mention this • on the con trary, they establ i shed as a principle that there exist princes of the house of 0 nz . agra, of Mentos, and Castiglione, who have incontestable rights to these sovereignties. The order of succession, says Montesquieu, is ordained in monarchies for the good of the state, which demands that this order should be fixed to avoid the misfortunes which arise from despotism, where all is uncertain, because all is arbitrary. In Italy the fatal policy of Louis XI V. still bears its traits. Lawful sovereigns have been hurled from their thrones, and pncue in their minority supplanted, to pave the way for his ambi tious views, and their places filled by strangers to the land; foe it is a remarkable fact, that with the exception of our well-beloved Pops Pins IX. and the King of Sardinia, no prince of Italian origin is on any throne in Italy. The actual sovereigns of Tuscany, Modena, Parma, and even Austria, are all princes oldie house of L orraine.

In the lit at lase, a militias of William Walsh, Esq. was presented, orimplain ing of an endue return of Sir Jelin Paktnaton, by bribery and other indirect practices, and she partiality of the sheriff. No report en this petition is catered.—" November 2, 1701, oomplaint was made to the house that the Lord Bishop of Worcester, and Mr. Lloyd his eon, had been guilty of • breach of privilege at the last election for this county.' This complaist being ordered to be taken into consideration on the lath of the same month, this order of the day was then proceeded with accordingly. Sir John Pakington, in his place, stated the particulars of his complaint: "that soon after parliament rose ' the Bishop of Woroester took epos him to send to him to desist from standing to be elected knight for that county; threatening that if be did not, he, the bishop, should think himself obliged to speak against him to his clergy."—That the bishop himself sent some letters, and the bishop's secretary others, to several clergymen. instructing them to nuke whatever interest thty could ageing Sir John at the election. That the bishop aspersed the complainant to his clergy, upbraiding him and his an cestors with several vices, and at confirmation and visitation openly soliciting such cicrgy to vote against the complainant, and threatening them with his displeasure in the event of their supporting him: that the bishop pursued the same coarse towards several of the laity who were his tenants, in timating that it they would not vote against complainant, they should never renew any estate under the bishop, and he would "mark them :" that the son and the secretary of the bishop had also scandalised the complainant to many of the freeholders. Witnesses having been called in end examined as to each of these heeds of complaint, the house resolved rem. eon. "that Sir John Pakington bath, by evidence, fully wade eat the charge which he exhibited against the Lord Bishop of Worcester that Sir John bath fully made out his charge phut Mr. Lloyd, the said Lord Bishop's son ; that it to this house that the proceedings of William, Ipii Bishop of Worcester, his son and his agents, in older to the hinderii.g the election of a member for the esseintg er Weseemer, ' have been malicious, unchristian, and nehlesam is high violation of the liberties and privileges of the 411111111111101111 el Ragland,' "—Resolved, "That ad hum hla he pmented se her Majesty, that she will be rZy pleased to mom William. Lord Bishop of et i er, from befog almoner to her Majesty." This ad dle* was ordered in the usual way to be presented by such 110111611111 of the boors as were also members of her Ma jesty*. Privy Council. The business was ordered to be fur thoznogyaed until that day illeitlait i and the Attorney. wag dressed to prosecute Mr . Lloyd, the bishop's gen, " for Idegaid ediesen afetz big privilege as a member of the lower hews itavecisels• is est..' The lords, alarmed at these progeediage of the anuseme, and anxious to screen one of their owe members, voted an address to the Queen, representing that it was the undoubted right of every lord of parliament and of every subject of England " to has, an op portunity of being heard in his own defence before suffering any punishment;" and humbly desiring her Majesty that she would be pleased not to remove the Lord Bishop of Worcester from the place of Lord Almoner, nor to show any mark of her displessure towards him, till he be founu guilty of some crime by the course of law. This address, which certainly affirmed an undoubted and most essential constitutional maxim, being presented to the queen, her Majesty returned an answer, remarkable for the mode in which it reconciled the recognition of that maxim with the vindication of her prerogative, and reserved to her the opportunity of dealing with the address from the Commons. her Majesty agreed that every peer and lord of parliament, and, indeed, every other person, ought to he heard before being punished on any matters objected to him; but she looked upon it as " her undoubted right to continue or to displace any servant attending upon her own person when she should think proper." Afterwards, the comptroller of the Queen's household reported to the house that their ad dress having been presented to the Queen, her Majesty had been pleased to return this most gracious answer:— " Arose R. I am very. sorry that there is occasion for thin ad dress against the Bishop of Worcester. I shall order and direct that he no longer continue to supply the place of almoner; but I will put another in his room to perform that other." Thereupon the thanks of the commons were unanimously voted to the Queen. Mr. Speaker was instructed to super intend the printing of the evidence and examinations taken in the case ; and on the 23rd April, 1703, the solicitor-gene ral reported to the house the proceedings which had been taken against Mr. Lloyd, the bishop's son. This is certainly one of the most flagrant cases of " undue interference" to lie found in the books. With regard to the interests generally paramount at elec tions for this county, it is pretty certain that from about the 24th of George 111. to the Ist of William IV., the influence of the Earl of Beauchamp and Lord Foley had nominated both members. The Earl of Beauchamp was usually sup ported by the Earl of Coventry ; Lord Foley by Lord Dudley and Ward, Lord Lyttelton, and Earl Somers. The Earl of Bradford has since thrown hie weight into the scale ; but with the above noblemen the nomination, in fact, of at least two of the four members still remains. Sir E. Blount, Sir Rouse Boughton, Sir James Cotterell, Sir William Heath cote, Sir William Smith, Sir Of Wakeman, Sir Thomas Winnington, and Sir Thomas Philiipert, have very extensive properties. The eastern division of this county returned, at the (untested election of 1835, the two Whig candidates, Mr. Holland and Mr. T. H. Cease. the one by 2,271 votes, the other by 2,201, rejecting MT. Horace St. Paul, who, however, polled 2,061. The western division returned one conservative and one whirr, at an elec tion also contested, Colonel Lygon and Mr. Winnington lemniag in with 1,961 and 1,938 votes respectively, and de- Yds( Mr. Pakington, aho polled 1,776 votes. At the einstion of 1837, there was no contest for the western divi sion, Colonel Lygon and Mr. Wilmington being again re turned. The eastern division was hotly contested, Mr. Horace St. l'aul and Mr. Bari.eby, two conservatives, being returned by 2,595 and 2,281 votes respectively : Mr. Holland with 1,949 votes, and Mr. Foley with 1,933 being thrown out. At the election of 1841, the two divisions of the county returned 4 conservatives without • cosiest. They are the now sitting members. The registered electors fee the eastern division in 1841 were 0,328; the western, 4,589. At the last registry, 1848, the numbers were, respectively, 6,307 and 4,357. This shows an aggregate decrease on the last registry of 263 freeholders. We look upon any contrac tion of the number of voters in a county constituency like this as offering a disceuragicg augury for attempts at ern ing the representation. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MAT 10: At ten o'clock last night the answer to inquiries respecting the Lord-Lieutenant's health was, that " there is no material alteration." The bulletin of this morning announced that His Excellency had a disturbed night, and is not so well this morning, An extraordinary series of resolutions has just been published, and will be submitted to the Kilworth Relief Committee, exhibiting the mingled feeling of alarm and cowardice which pervades a considerable number of the landlords. Alter setting forth the fiscal obligations to be contracted by the ratepayers, which lead directly to insolvency, the resolutions con clude by declaring it to be a duty the committee " owe to the public, to the government, and to them- selves," to resign " their arduous office on the 6th of June." Such is the moral bravery of the Kilworth committee, with Lord Monotcashel at their head. And that was done, too, when, in the event of voting their own dissolution, that the poor may starve, the government can and will direct the formation of another committee. There is very great distress in Kilworth, and the rate must be heavy. True : but while the necessity exists the remedy must be applied. Kilworth cannot fare better than other localities where the suffering is great, and the rates are heavy. Where Gimes have co-operated, and employment been alkeded by the landlords to relieve the pressure es the rates, the set dem not look so formidable, nor me the rates so very crushing.

The terror which this state of things has created may be keened from the fact that, in a certain house in Sligo, a victim to the fever scourge lay °duped for seven days, and on one could be found to bear the corpse to the grave and bury it. SCOTLA YD. EDINBURGH, MAT 10. Public health, both in Edinburgh and Glasgow, is the reverse of what it should be. In Edinburgh, erysipelas and small-pox prevail among the poorer classes; and in Glasgow fever still rages extensively. The assistant-inspector of the Barony parish has been eat off, and some of the officials in the city pariah workhouse have also been attacked. Poverty, with its attendant evils, over-crowding, filth, starvation, ece., are the prevailing causes ; but once broken out, all classes are in more or less danger. In the proceedings of the counts , meeting for Dam barton, it is reported that "some - discussion ensued as to the aliment of three boys of tender age who had been indicted for theft at the Glasgow spring assizes of 1846, and committed by Lord Medwyn to the Glasgow House of ltefuge without trial." This ali ment, which was granted, is the only instance of pre ventive reform that we have observed in the pro ceedings of the county boards—all their efforts being apparently directed towards the curative amelioration of the county prison and the rural constable. At the Hoes meeting a small grant was asked for the Free Church schools in the district, on the ground that • pittance was awarded to the Established Church semi naries; the one was refused, and the other discon tinued for alleged want of funds, the paucity being mainly caused by a retrospective claim of 1,7001., granted in the shape of dama ges _ against the police superintendent, for confining Free Church rioters in a bank safe two or three years ago, and by a pro spective drain on account of the food riots of the present year. For the last two days there have been very heavy showers, and yesterday the wind changed to the west. To-day is dry . but cloudy, and the wind is again easterly. Heat is greatly needed for the young crops.

Being rendered unfit for duty, be was sent home and another watchman ' appointed to his station. As be had not completed his natht's duty, one. half of his day's wages was deducted!

Imes Istriossmote.—An effectual preventitive to the wholesale exportation of paupers from the sister kingdom to Liverpool, which has proved so injurious, net only in a pe cuniary, but also in a sanitary, point of view, will, it is ex pected, be found in en order which has been issued by several of the stem packet companies, to the following effect : Dom Peasmmaas.--Ortiers having been issued la Liverpool, that steam vends arriving from tali ports, and having desk Sc bleed, shall be compelled to YAM the yellow flag, aid /seated the lemgetto ground, to *medals If se- oac or mere desk item ea bard be in a slate at Mar_ , and that the sine bete. newil le the lemelless; sad, kel p, that if siosser be lbewil, IN • .10=IC. p r y = bin s lisle if hen MAni se seisentsio aye tresepstibbs nth a i sawisre f =rst anon mg ile olan ▪ ths plii=splestin Is essi at pewees nig le Is OA ws Yd mosseasr grebe albswod il =ner le loin le Won Me non the aty et Odin ss.

RIOTS AT WALSALL.—For week past great disuitisfac. lion has been evinced by the labourers employed upon the South Staffordshire Railway in the neighbourhood of \via sail, and the whole of them, numbering several hundreds, have struck work. In consequence of this step, the con tractors called in the aid of a number of Irishmen, who, it is alleged, worked under the prices paid to those who had " turned out." On Monday night, the mesa who had left work visited the pits in the neighbourhood, and collecting together . formidable body of miners, armed themselves with bludgeons, many of which were torn up front hedges and trees on the roadsides, and proceeded to Walsall, where the Irish labourers are located. They commenced • fero cious attack upon the windows and doors of the Irishmen's houses, and before the Inmates became aware of the object of their assailants some of them were most unmercifully beater. The Irish party gathered a strong form, and were about to retaliate upon the " turn outs," and had it not been for th, interference of the magi,- mates, attended by the police, serious if not fetal consequences must have followed. The polioe, under the order of Mr. Rolfe, the chief superintenden , , s allied out upon the rioters, and succeeded in apprehending four of the ringleaders. The rioters were brought up before the magistrates yesterday, and committed for trial at the sessions. It is feared that the rioting may be renewed. NORFOLK.
