f I. t• . • f..npr,\•our:ty of Durham, respecting the :.ppoitttment of Dr. Phil potcs a l t see of Exeter. The hon. gentleman preset red 211 petitions from Cumberland and Westmereland against Colonial Slavery. Mr. BEA U MON f ;aid a great reritetnent was caused in the parish tit Stanisope, the tithes of which amounted to 4,0001. a year. by the npreliasion that it would continue to be held by the Bishop of Exeter. ilaarkhed to ask the Secretary of State whether that was intended. Sir R. PEEL said the livirg had been held with a bishoprick before. and he believed it was so intended in the present instance. (Loud Grits el Hear from the Opposition.) S,r J. GRAHAM said, in consequence of the answer given by the right hon. gentleman he would vary his motion, and give notice of an *tittles to his Majesty on the subject. (Loud cheering.) le sl BELGRA WE presented two petitions from congregations in tiksfield, fur the abolition of negro slavery. Mr. HUM E presented ► petition from the parish of Marylebone for afreituctian of taxation and for parliamentary refwm. They complained that the majority of the house were returned by the undue influence of pttrs,and other wealthy persons.and the treuury that they had no hope of redress till the monopoly in the mani,facture of member: of parliament was removed. ( A laugh.) He was delighted to find the voice of the country raised to procure the abolition of that monopoly, which had ',aught England into its present unnatural state, where wealth and luxury. beyond what was ever known in any other country, were seen, on the one hand; and the extreme of misery on the other. The taxes et !Ms country were beyond an" ever known in any other country in the world. The ministry hod made tip their minds not to afford relief nr ret;n-m—at least, the noble duke at the head of the government had said none should take place in his time ; he could only say, Gots grant that his time may be short. --Discontent existed in the cenntry, and he hoped those who now possessed the power of government would not drive it further. It was evident, front what the right hon. gentleman had so cooly said of Dr. Philpott's holding his parish of 4,0001. a year with his Bishoprick, that no robin in the Church was intended. The biome should take the question of reform into their hands, as they could hope for welting front ministers. If they could make the neees. sat y reform, they could reduce the taxes seven or eight millions. They might do more, the corn laws pressed to the extent of ten or twelve millions on the people, and did not benefit the landlords one million. I:either relief might be given by transferring seven or eight millions from the industry of the country to capital. In this way relief to the extent of twe'ty.lit•e millions might be given in a single session, employ tne7t greatly increased. and the poor rates greatly diminished. As mi. nisters refused all relief, he hoped the house would compel them to re tire from their plates. TETITIONS FOR THE ABOLITION OF COLONIAL SLAVIIM NIL BROUGHAM presented 385 petitions for the abolition of co lonial slavery ; 128 were from different parts of Yorkshire, 83 from Suffolk and Sussex, and others from several dissenting congregations. On presenting them he remarked that the prayer of the petitions had his most hearty concurrence, and would have his zealous support; and should, by any calamity, his efforts fail, he was confident that there would be, soon after, twenty petitions for one on the same subject; and if these failed, that the failure would be attributed to the constitution of the house, and the petitions for reform would accumulate ten-fold. The petitions, which formed an CTIOTMOUS pile, were laid on the table. LOCAL JURISDICTION RILL. Mr. BROOM AAI moved for leave to bring in a bill for the esta. iilishment of local jurisdiction for the better administration of justice. The bill had been previously before the House, and had been read twice during last session. and was not pressed for on an understanding that time should be given for its consideration. The honourable member liegged that the bill might now be admitted on the footing of its ad vanced stage, and that the time of the House might not needlessly be consumed with repeating a formal fresh introduction. lie would not press for the immediate attention of the House to it, but was de sirous that the bill should come under consideration soon after Christ mas. He was not in the habit, he said, of noticing personalities that might be termed a breach of privilege that were directed against him ; he only once noticed a publication which had grossly misrepresented him ; he was the object of such attacks at all times before the re cess, during the recess, and after the recess—every day of the week, Sundays not excepted, yet he never complained ; but when there was an attempt, a very peculiar attempt, to intimidate a member of this house from doing his duty, the circumstance required notice; and he hoped that when he had made his communication, it would serve as a firm meaning ; and that they need not " lay the flattering unction to their soul" that he was to be intimidated. (Hear, hear.) He had been represented, when he introduced this bill, to have de. signated the attorneys and solicitors as a disrespectable body ; and he had received a circular which, in pretty plain terms, intimated that it was the intention of the attorneys and solicitors to shut their doors against him ; about that description of combination he did not care ; but he might say that he would defend himself, by bringing about a similar combination among the barristers, and it would be seen which of the two classes would triumph. He had never said that attorneys and solicitors were disrespectable bodies ; on the contrary, he acknowledged their re spectability ; but he had said that there were mal-practitioners among them • and the same remark would apply with equal fairness to the bar. He declined to read the circular. He was confident that every respectable practitioner would approve of his nirasure. Sir It. PEEL was decidedly favourable to any measure that would make the recovery of small debts more expeditious, by which the ex pense of process would be lessened.—Ht: had a bill prepared by himself that comprised that object, which he would defer bringing In en account of that of the hon. member's being on the same subject. Mr. CAMPBELL stated a few objections to the bill, on the Found that it would tend to pull down some of our present existing institutions. hir. TENNANT said, that it would require some consideration, seeing that the proposed measure of the hon. member would cost the country an additional tax of 100,0001. per annum. Mr. TENNYSON spoke in support of the motion. Mr. O'CONNELL regretted that the bill, emanating from a mind so well qualified, had not, as well as providing for the recovery of small debts, embraced a better provision for the recovery of large debts. As to the expense of the measure, lie would consider it well laid out, if it brought home justice to every man's door. lie wanted to beat down the harvest of litigation. 11ir. BROUGHAM said, that he hoped the bill would not be tried on the score of its expense, but that it would be tried on its merits. lie Intel no wish nor intention to pull down the existing institutions, nor infringe upon the judicial system. Not only would a hundred thou sand pounds be too much to throw away for which no benefit was to be derived, but 100 pence or one pound would be too much He had demonstrated last session that after the machinery of the bill was brought into play, it would not cost the country a far thing. He alluded to an attack which had been made upon him by a much esteemed, venerable, and gracious friend—[We believe Mr. Ben tham, and that the attack appeared in the Westminster Reviewi— one whom he had long esteemed. and with whom he had laboured in the eanie vineyard, who had represented him as an enemy to reform, and a dangerous Iran to society, and that he was actuated by pecuniary mo tive.. lie was astonished at the attack, but he disclaimed the impute. tion. On his last circuit there were ninety-seven cases of recovery of debts which he was employed in, and 86 of them would have been su perseded had his bill been in operation. It could not then well be said that any man was actuated by pecuniary motivep, who, on the score of profit and loss, was willing to drop eight-ninths of his practice in that departnient. After a lengthy conversation the motion was agreed to. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR moved for certain returns relative to the Vice. Chancellor's Court. Mr. LONG WELLESLEY presented a petition for the abolition of colonial slavery —Laid on the table. Mr. E. N. V. PENDARVES presented 98 petitions for the abo lition of colonial slavery.—Laid on the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up the ac counts of the civil list, and moved that they be taken into consideration on Frid• next. Mr. HUME objected to the motion for so early a day. He was not to vote for any sum until he had considered the different items, if the hon. gentleman would insist on Friday, he (Mr. H.) bad made up his mind to take the sense of the house on the subject. Sir JAMES GRAHAM reminded the Chancellor of the Exche quer that a paper had been called for containing lists of all places and pensions, civil and military, which had not been produced ; and he (Sir J. Graham) thought that the house should not be called upon to vote • supply until that return was made. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the re turn was attended with much difficulty, and was not yet completed ; but he was ready to produce it if the hon. member would be sails. led with it, deficient as it was of some items. Mr. DENISON said the time was too short. There were many new members in the house who would require time to be informed on the items. He suggested that the hon. gentleman should bring forward his ►tatements in Friday, and allow till Monday for consideration. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected to the ar- rangement. Mr. HUME then expremed his determination to take the sense of the house. Sir R. PEEL observed, that the hon. member for Middlesex would, perhaps, defer his intention if he had a good bargain offered him on the night ; and it would be economy of time to refrain from further debate till the night came. Mr. HUME replied, that perhaps the boo. Secretary had made the proposition, knowing that when the night came he would be so well backed; but be (Mt. H.) would " buy no pig in a poke." About economy of time, if it was economy to him, it would not be economy to many others m and he would prefer to have the engagement at once. _ . . . . . Mr. DENISON remarked, that it could not be the wish of the titancellor of the Exchequer to place any hen. member of that have in the ungracious situation to refuse to vote a supply to his Majesty's 00. remount, which must be the ease with spay if he persisted to pan fir Friday, the day named. After some conversation, it wai 'understood that the house wsuld not be premed for a vote on Friday, tett that the resolution on that night should be withdrawn for considevatien. The House adjourned About Half-pest POLICE REPORTS. MANAION-Holl7lll.—Vesterlay the new LORD MATOIt took his seat in the Justice. roltil, and had to decide upon the conduct of some per son!: who were charged with having acted in an obnoxious manner on the preceding day. Mr. Ilvpkinx, a stationer. in Bishopsgate.street, was charged under the following circumstances : Mr. Evar.s, one of the ward authorities of Bishopsgate, stated that the defendant. between 10 and 11 o'clock on the night of the 9th, acted in such a manner as to add to the noise and disturbance is the streets. It was, lit , WeVer, thought necessary to take the defendant's word to appear at the Justice-room, and answer to the Lord Nlayor for his conduct. Sheppard, the street-keeper, stated, that while mobs of people were passing along Bishopsgate-street, the defendant thought proper to be displeased with the conduct of the police officers of the city, who inter. rived for the tee:tray of the peace, to prevent mobs from being assem bled together. The officers had behaved with the greatest propriety on the occasion, but the defendant addressed the people, and soon had a crowd about him. He inveighed against the police for exceeding their duty, and would not desist, although a gentleman declared that the officers had acted with the utmost forbearance and kindness, and it would be advisable to him to hold his tongue. Mr. Hopkins—'Tis all a falsehood. Sheppard added, that at last it was found necessary to take Mr. Hop. kins into custody. Mr. Hopkins—They wanted me to move off, and it was not conve nient for me to move off. Mr. Evans assured the Lord Mayor that the conduct of the defendant was peculiarly calculated to excite the mob. Robert Bohner, an inspector of the watch, stated that there had been previously a very great crowd in Bishopsgate.strect, but it was quickly dispersed by the good-humoured interference of the officers. The officers said to two or three women who were standing in the neighbourhood, " My good women, you had better go home and mend your husband's stockings,than be here;" upon which the defendant addressed the people, objecting, in the strongest manner, to the interference of the officers. As the mob were gathering, it was absolutely necessary to prevent him from continuing his speech, and he was accordingly apprehended, after having rejected all peaceable appeals, and ►aid he was the master of the officers, and that they should do as he liked. In fact, the defendant's conduct brought together a second mob. Mr. Hopkins--You are a false fellow. W. Boston, a night.patrol, confirmed the statements made, and said that the officers found in that neighbourhood that jocular language had an immediate effect upon the mob. Mr. Evans said that if the Lord Mayor thought it necessary to pro duce the evidence of private individuals, he was ready to do so. The LOID NIAYOII said he thought no further testimony necessary, and desired the defendant to answer to the charge against him. Mr. Hopkins said the whole business was a gross tissue of falsehoods. There was no mob at all in the place where be stood, and he observed the officers unnecessarily pushing some women about, and begged that they would - desist. This provoked them, and without any further cere mony they laid violent hands upon himself, for lie did not think he was bound to go away at their dictation. Mr. Evans. I assure you, my lord, that Mr. Hopkins's conduct was calculated to do mischief at such a season, when the streets abounded with idle fellows. Mr. Cope (the maashal) stated that Mr. Evans was remarkable fur forbearance and activity, and that the officers who had given evidence were:also persons on whose good conduct and veracity the utmost reli ance had been placed. He in conformity with the directions of the Ccurt of Aldermen, ordered the whole of the city police to act with the greatest possible forbearance, and In no Instance had that order been in the slightest degree violated. Mr. Cope also thought it his duty to mention, that gentlemen who, like Mr. Hopkins, took it into disk heads to address mobs against the police, at a time of such excitetneot o committed mischief which was often irreparable. Mr. Hopkins denied that he had addressed anybody except the pallet. The LORD Mayon said that the conduct of the defendant was, at a , time when the public feeling was in so excited a state, extremely I impru si ent. Mr. Hopkins.—l do not think so, my Lord ; I would act exactly in the same manner again, if I saw the same cause. The LORD M 4YOR.—Your conduct has indeed been very impru. dent as a respectable man, in acting in such a manner at a period of so much public excitement. Mr. Hopkins.—Certainly not, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—If you observed anything improperly rough, you might have complained to the Magistrates, who sat at Guildhall till be tween three and four o'clock this morning, and they would have attended to the application. The officers acted all through with great prudence and judgment, and the peace of the metropolis has been very happily preserved ; but I must say that, as a respectable man, your conduct, Mr. Hopkins, was very imprudent. I however dismiss the ease. Mr. Hopkins—l knew the charge would not be entertained, and I would do just as I have done, if the circumstances were to occur again. Three men, named Beams*, Bailey, and Dyson, were charged by Ilr. Evans, with having accompanied and urged on a mob of about 300 or 400 persons in Bishopsgate-street. Bessent appeared with a stick in bb hand at the bead of the mob, who were shouting No Police No taxes ! and other ex The crowd grew greater as it moved along, and Mr. Evans the officers together, and determined as the best course to seize n oar the rinig leaders. The three defendants were accordingly ap by Mr. Evans and the officers at the corner of New-street, and then des mob quickly dispersed. The LORD /11.croa.—Did they break any lamps or windows ? Mr. Evans.—Not to my knowledge, but they led the mob. The LORD MAYOR—Did it appear like a frolic ? Mr. Evans—By no means. Bessent had a stick, and raised it to strike, but was easily prevented. There was in fact no trouble in ap the three. They tried to escape, but when taken made no resistance. were obliging the people to take off their hats, but I observed nothing dan. gerous. It appeared that the three defendants were men of good character, and in employment. One was a barber, and the other two were weavers. They declared that they had found themselves accidentally mixed up with the crowd as they were going home, and they disavowed the most remote intention of doing mischief. The LORD Matron censured the defendants for exciting the public at such a time, when the peace was disturbed by a set of idle fellow.. There was however something, his lordship said, extenuating in their conduct, as they had not resisted. He should therefore take their premise never to act in such a manneragain, and discharge them. Guicouss.x.—Mr. Turner, jun. whose father carries on the busi. news of a printer and stationer in Cheapside, near Lswrence-lace, was charged with assaulting John Connor, an Irish labourer. The city solicitor stated that Mr. Turner's premises had been pre sented by the inquest as being in a dangerous state, and the usual steps had been taken by the city to put up a board., and give the parties notice to take the building down. Mr. Turner bad thought it unsafe to allow his family to sleep in the house for a month past, but notwith standing this Mr. Turner had advertised to let seats to see the proces sion, and, as he was informed, had arranged to accommodate not less than 130 persons. As from the state of the premises the per sons so accommodated would have been placed in imminent peril, and also the persons passing in Cheapside, Mr. T u rner w as applied to on in letting • - been the subject, and is he pe rsisted w, letting seats, it had _ deemed proper to station the complainant Connor against the house on Sunday morning with a board containing a caution, and the defendant was charged with assisting to wrest this board away from him. Mr. Alderman YENABLES said, the state of this house bad excited great anxiety in his own mind and that of his brother Aldermen, and they had consulted the Recorder, who was of opinion, that if any aces. dent or loss of life should occur from the falling of 'these premises, in consequence of being let out in the way described, Mr. Turner would bare to answer fur a misdemeanour of an aggravated nature. lie re. quired surety from the defendant to meet the charge at the sessions. Mr. Turner's surety was accepted for his son. HAT Tow-Gmarnex—Mr. &dent Ss r.t.o tr continued sitting at this office until half-past one o'clock yesterday morning, when $ letter came to him from the Secretary of State to inform him that his attendance any longer was unnecessary, and would be dispensed with. During the night, some hundreds of the most respectable inhabitants of the district voluntarily came forward to offer their assistance in sup. port of the police, and were sworn in special constables for the occasion. Among them were the churchwardens, the overseen, the bards of com. missioaers, and all the other officers of the several • within the district—Saint Pancras, Saint Giles, Saint Andrew, Holborn, the Liberty of Saffton-hill, Clerkenwell, &c. together with some of the meet respectable inhabitants of (}ray's Inn and Lin. coin's Inn, all of whom manifested the most ardent spirit and deter mined resolution to act in concert with the Police, if circumstances required their exertion to preserve the peace and tranquillity of the metropolis. They remained in attendance until the worthy Sergeant communicated to them the contents of the letter transmitted to him by Mr. Peel, and after thanking than for their devotion to their country, they ell joyfully retired, upon learning that the apprehended danger war over, and tranquillity perfectly restored. We have authority for stating that it was not the N ew P o li ce w h o closed the gates of Temple-bar ; for they were stationed in the West end ; and when the superintendent, the ins , and m en o f t h e g division, who were on duty there, attempted to repulse the mob, who were proceeding from the City, towards the West end, they met with the mat violent resistance from the City Police.

He was ordered to remain in so* mu the worthy Magistrate had considered whether he would take bail. The following is a specimen of the inflammatory papers found upon the prisoner : " People of England, arouse yourselves, be free—.be no lon ger posed upon—shall it be told abroad-that Englishmen alone dnot to unfold the banner of liberty which they have so long lest sight of?— Will you still be bound in chains of ignominious oppression and un heard-of tyranny ? Englishmen, you will allow it no longer. Will you permit the tyrannical aristocracy to rule still with their iron away over you ? You will not continue, as I know you feel you are a dis grace to the name of Englishmen. Are not our wrongs and oppression sufficient to rouse the most abject slaves to rise in arms against their masters ? Will you then, my countrymen, who have been accustomed to call yourselves freemen, be more abject under such an accumulation of wrongs as you are now, than born slaves ? Will you longer sub mit to be bound by such shackles ? You are now not even allowed to discuss the measures of those whom you are told are your representathes, but who truly are no more so than the scats you pay for them to sit on in the House of Commons as it is called. Englishmen, you know your wrongs, and need not be retold them ; pause, and consider now. Now, Englishmen, you have considered them. Is not each one sufficient to rouse the spirit of liberty within you ? Then, countrymen, to arms, to arms, no longer delay—lose not a moment, but with the musket, sword, hatchet, or even with nothing but what nature has furnished for your own pre. nervation. Rouse, rouse then at once. To arms. and take that liberty which your oppressors will not give. Down, down with each oppres sive boroughmonger that should attempt to oppose you, and make their blood an offering at the shrine of liberty. Seek no leader, but to the battle, and let each one be his own leader, and their object be the destruction of those who may attempt to stop him. You know the way, you have had a lesson from our brave neighbours the French. Again I say, to arms--to arms and free yourselves. Fear nothing, but arm yourselves, and send death and destruction to your enemies. The na. dyes of the sister kingdom are ready, and in fact can scarcely be prevented from taking up arms to regain their rights, which have been taken from them. Arouse then, and let your cry be liberty or death. Follow but that, and we must be free. In vain the boroughmongers may try to stop us. Gird yourselves about, and let each of you, my fellow-countrymen, think himself an army, and that it depends upon himself to hurl down our tyrannical oppressors to death, destruction, and ettwal infamy, and free the nation from the galling chains which bind it down in disgraceful idleness and cramps its spirit. Englishmen, you have become a disgraced nation : your rights are taken from you : regain them, or perish in the attempt. Be no longer as you are now, but to arms, and free yourselves from slavery. Arouse from the le thargy you seem to have been in, and rouse your fame for va , lour to the scale. Englishmen, the whole world watches you, and ' anxiously and fearfully wait to behold England raised to its ancient importance in the world, and the capability of resisting the first nation in the world, not by tyrannical taxation, but by the free resource of its children. Englishmen, can you want any other inducement? No, no. To arms, to arms, and have liberty or death I" [The will of this young revolutionist was the moat curious document, and excited roars of laughter among those who heard it read, and every one appeared anxious to obtain a copy.

Alsweratitoxi-orr mg.—Yesterday morning, John Williams a young Welshman, who wore a suit of black, fashionable in shape, and threadbare in condition, was brought before Mr. Griffith by one of the policemen, for disturbing the public peace. It was represented by Mrs. Mary Ann Trody, of No. 13, Edward. street, Portman-square ' that on Monday the prisoner called at her house, and, after representing himself to be the son of a respectable clergyman in Wales, and telling a long talc of distress, he excited in her breast a feeling of pity, and she offered him a shilling. The prisoner withdrew his hand, and hoped, he said, that as he was a gentleman by birth and education, and her countryman, who made the application, she would be more liberal. She added another shilling to her first offer, he became more impudent, and she popped 3s. into his hand to get rid of him. Ile returned to her house yesterday morning for the purpose of ex = mote, and she called in a pe li can; and gave him into " Le not I MD you before ?" said Mr. the magic ' taste, to the prisoner. Williams—Most undoubtedly, sir, you have had that pleasure, but not exactly hen. Mr. Gar rryea—No, not exactly here, I DOW recollect, for you called at my house several dines, and got money of me. Williams—Ay, and some wine, too, Sir ; you behaved very kindly. Mr. Garweren—Yon told a hundred lies, and cheated me, as you have done this good lady. You are a gross impostor. Williams—Not so fast, air s if you please; I cheesed neither of you ; I borrowed a little money of you, and a little of her, and when I am able I will repay it honourably. Ma, GRIFFITH-0, I dare say you can talk fast enough about honour. You are a chest, sir, and you shall suffer for it. Williams—l am a gentleman, Sir, as well as you; we were both born in Wales, and l have received as good an education as you have. Mr. Gaurerra—You told me one day you had been brought up at college, but I don't believe it. liams—lt is not gentlemanly, Sir, to dispute my word. Mr. Gatrown—And that your father is a clergyman. but you I will neither name the college, nor say where your father lives. Williams—lt is not necessary. Mr. 61111ITH ordered Keys, the gaoler, to take him into the yard. and in his absence, Mr. Grille's told Mrs. Maly the prisoner had obtained silvaof him on two or three occasions; and he put so much madam in the truth of his story, that he invited him one day to sit down and take some wine with him. The prisoner add many impudent things to the magistrate, which an malt and unworthy to be related, and when he was replaced at the bar— Mr. Ourrrrit told him ' his blustering could do him no good : be bad reason to believe man others , besides the complainant and him. self, had been duped by him, and he should remand him till another day. The prisoner spoke in a very subdued tone, and expressed great eon. tridon ; but as the gaoler was about to lead him away, he agaln ad. dressed Mr. OriStb--“ I say, Sir, you don't teem to recollect the glass of wine or two we had together so comfortably in your little par. lour—your memory is abort." Mr. diturrrn (smiling)—Oh ! no, I have not forgotten:it. Williams—What good company we were! How we chatted. and talked about our native country, and all that sort of thing ! Oh, so happy (rubbing his hands together)—you respected me u a gentle. man then. Mr. GIIIIPPIT It- • So much the worse. Williams—So much the worse, eh ? I doe% think so. Mr. GRITIPITa (to the gaoler)—Take him away, lock him up, and bring him here again on Saturday, Williams—l wish I was in his little parlour again, I got some good wine there, and hem it's all vinegar. Mk. ST. JOHN LONG. An inquest was held yesterday, at the Wilton Arms, in Kinnerton. street, Knightsbridge, to inquire into the death of Mrs. Colin Campbell Lloyd, aged 48, wife of Capt. Edward Lloyd, of the Royal Navy, whose death eau alleged to have been occasioned by the treatment she had ex perienced from Mr. St. John Long, of Harley-street. Mr. George Vance, Mr. Benjamin Collins Brodie, and Mr. William Archibald Campbell, were examined, to give their opinions as to the cause of the death of Mrs. Lloyd ; but as the inquest eau adjourned, to allow the body to be opened, in older that they may give the result of a post merlon examination, we forbear stating their evidence for the present. Captain Edward Lloyd, R.N. sworn.-. 4 reside at Cheltenham, and came on • visit to London with my wife and family, on the 18th of July. Mrs. Lloyd was subject to a nervous affection of the throat when she took cold ; on the 4th of October she applied a small blister to her throat for fear of &slight cold, which she was in the general habit of doing without applying to any medical man ; it rose in a partial degree, but she took it off a few hours after, before it had produced its ordinary effects; she dressed it herself with a simple dresalng ; on the 6th Oct. Mrs. L. went with me to Mr. St. John Long ; she merely had a conver. motion with him ; site went the following day, when she inhaled ; on the 7th Oct. she inhaled again; also on the Bth Oct. when she paid him one pound. She went to him on the 9th of October, when site was rubbed for the first time across the bosom, as she described to me. On the 10th of October she told me that she had inhaled as before, and afterwards was rubbed; as they termed it, "rubbed out.' Sbe told me that there I was but a small portion of liquid in the saucer, but more was added when that wee expended. She became so unwell while the rubbing was going on, that the rubber became alarmed, and went for Mr. L ong , who did not come foe some time; but when he did, he said it was no- 1 thing, and would soon go off, which it did after some time, but an o dd l sensation remained, which continued during the evening. She came haw in her sister's carriage, and combined uneasy the rest of the day. She complained of a cold and chilling, all the even*. • sold shivering It came on, when she retired to bed, and abs rook Moe hot wine and water. She bad a restless night, and on the 11th of Oesuiper she was unwell all day. There was a vivid redness serous the liana where the rubbing had taken plase,and a dark piles In the centre the breast, from which a dhehaip mu ing place treat under the 'oblige hoes, which had been applied by the as she said, of Mr. Long. The large dark spot en her breast still got deep, i n colour ; the edges were white, and all much puffed up ; the por es skin on the dark spot were expanded, but did not break. o n di, morning of the 12th of October, on looking at her breast, it lb , peared to me that, from lying on her back, wherever the matter dr, charged rested, it caused fresh blisters, some of which I rut to relieve the pain, u she complained all over. A wicker cud', forced to be made to place over her, to prevent the bed-clothes tuuchai, her. On this day I ailed upon Mr. Long, who expressed his surpri,, a , not having seen Mrs. Lloyd, to go on with her Inhaling. On explai; i aq her inability and great sufferings, he said that he would come in n u , evening, which he did, and found that she had applied Mut on ,. mon blister-dressing to alleviate the heat and bunting feeling. I l i . Long said that this was wrong, and contrary to his practice, bur would rub it out for her, to which proposition she exclaimed ag a i n ,. saying that she had suffered so much, that she could not elitle r those parts being rubbed at all ; the very idea of touching them eve , by herself was excruciating. Ile then said, " What do you She replied. "To be healed and relieved." Mr. Long then said, are using wrong dressings, it ought to be only dry linen to 51w , - 4 1, ; nothing will heal with those kind of dressings soon." lie then tha n , aside the dressings, and asked for a towel, and began dwhine t it dry on the large black spot, as, I suppose, to absorb the chscfro g , Mrs. Lloyd then said that her flesh or skin was very healing, m i d b .., had always healed any little blister by a simple blister-dressing in a day or two.

It appears that the Kay by which the doors of Gaildha!! were bcked up on Monday last, was, for some reason, entangled wiri and checked by, the wards, and was not extricated with perfect ease. It is uncertain if the fault was in the key, or if the wards are out cf order. Ax Eczio.—Echo is to the ear what recollection is to the mind ; each brings back the past, restores lost enjoyment, augments satisfactions, and enriches our mental store. The mind of man ILI memory's echo ever at command ; his tongue can, after a Lips., ot tiu.% recover again sweet sounds ; his declamation can revive e lo quence lot another age ; the books which he has perused with attention, live froh in his remembrance, and, like echo, speak to him invisibly, and pre'et themselves again to his view. A Russian lady, being engaged to dinner with M. d, Talleyrand, at that time Minister for Foreign Affairs, was detained . full hour by some unexpected accident. The tarnished guests grumbled. and looked at their watches. On the lady's entrance, one of the ecr . pany observed to his neighbour in Greek, " When a woman is neith.: young nor handsome, she ought to betimes." The lady, turning round sharply, wasted the satirist in the same language When . woman," says she, " has the misfortune to dine with savages, she .1. ways arrives_too soon." A curious paper was lately read to the Academie des Sci epees, at Paris, by M. Flourens, on what is called hibernation. Hi. bernatica, in natural h is tory, is the state of torpor and kthariq which several animals, as the marmot, for instance, pus nearly the whole of the winter. Cold, insensible, immoveable, rolled up into a ball, they continue for three or four successive months without eating, without drinking, without breathing, and almost without any cireula. Lion. M. Flourens made a variety of experiments, with a view to as certain the causes of this phenomenon. The result appears to be, that it is by the gradual decease of respiration in these animals that the cold is permitted to operate in producing the state of torpor al luded to; and that as the respiration regains Ito activity, the operation of the cold becomes less and less influential. From other experiments I made on birds, M. Flourens confidently draws the following conclu sions, as applicable to human beings : vit, that a prolonged exposure to cold is ass of the most powerful causes of pulmonary cconsumption ; and that, on the contrary, living in a warm place is so powerful an an. taro's( of that malady, that, alone, it is sufficient to cure it when it has not been allowed to proceed to the last stages TAVERNS IN OLD Ttsi Es.—By a statute of the 7th and last year of Edward VIM. it is enacted, " None shall keep a tavern for retailing wines. unless licensed; and that only in cities, towns tor. porate. burghs, post towns or market towns; cc la the towns of Graves. end.

RANUNCULUS.—The following plan of raising seedlings of the beautiful flower the Ranunculus, is from a correspondent in Lou don's useful periodical, the " Gardener's Magazine have sowed at all seasons, from the Ist of August to the It.t of March. , I prefer the middle or latter end of October anti the beginning of Jan toothy times. I sow in boxes, 18 in. by 11 in. and 4 in. in depth. I till thenfull of loamy earth, press the :surface level. Then 1 row th . seeds about an eighth of an inch span. cover them as thinly as possibL, and water with a fine rose ; I next place the boxes under Klass heat. The plants usually make their appearance in about a month. I give air day and night, except in severe frost ; then I cover up with straw mats ; with such protection the young plants will endure th, severest seasons; mine were not injured by the severity of Last rioter. I clean the surfaces of the boxes from green mess in February, and top. dress them. I put the boxes in the open ground up to the ter the second week in May, and water daily until the rasa begins to wither . 4then suffer the boxes to become quite dry ' • and in the middle of Jul: - take them up, and preserve the mote in b ags until February, when plant them as I do my general stock. In the following June they flower in great profusion. lam confident if florists would adopt this methotl, that more than half the old flowers under name would soon be throw:: into mixtures.
