PARLIAMENTARY NOTICES. 1 1 ;ets the opposition given on 'Thursday to the Minister hy, Lord Holland, and the just but severe remarks made sable conduct by Sir F. Burdett in the House of Corn • slo • • Naut on Friclay, it may be presumed that the old Whigs will no longer draw in the team with the noble Premier. Mr, O'Connell's first speechin the House of Com *pas, on, Thursday, as sitting member for Clare, was heard with much sespectful attention ; and his expose of t4'e King's Speech was enlivened by frequent and loud eieering. • By an order of the House of Commons, no petitions 14 . 3 Private Bills will be received after Friday, the 19th :set, nor will any be read after the Bth of March. The affairs of the East India Company are immedi ately to be the subject of an inquiry. A Select Committee is to be moved for on Tuesday, by Mr. PEEL. The Common Law Commission has prepared a Report ea Pleading, for the information of the Legislature, in Which a..very considerable curtailment of `the forms now I le use is strongly recommended. Mr. Leonard, in the early part of the present session of parliament, intends to introduce aßill for the better regu lation of playhouses, plays, players, and dramatic writers. la this age of improvement it will be a dangerous mea sure to interfere with or in the slightest degree abridge the. privileges of the playgoing people. Mr. Peel- is not correct in the assertion that, during the last 30 years, no amendment moved on an address at the opening of a session has been carried. Soup ten years ago, just as the appointed mover was about to rise, another Hon. Member presented himself, caught the Speaker's eye, and moved an address very unlike the one expected to be offered. The address originally prepared was then moved as an amendment, and that amendment was carried. Although Mr. Brougham has taken his seat as Mem ler for Winchelsea, it is his intention to vacate his seat for that borough, and to succeed the late Mr. Tierney as Member for Kuaresborough. Mr. Brougham's motive for vacating his seat for Winchelsea is his desire to re tain his independence, as it would probably be considered, from the circumstance of Lord Darlington (the Marquis of Cleveland's son) taking a leading part in the House of Commons in support of Ministers, that Mr. Brougham's continuing to sit for a borough belonging to Lord Cleve land would be taken as a proof of his having completely identified himself with the political conduct of that No bleman. The Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests was particularly active in giving directions to the Officers of the Police, on Friday evening, during the raging of the fire at the Argyll Rooms; and much of the tangible pro perty, which was rescued from the conflagration, was owing to his energetic and prompt superintendence. A report prevails here, to which, however, we attach little credit, that an overture has been made to our wor thy neighbour, the Hon. Member for Newark, to aban don the " Protestant Cause," and to accept office in the Administration under his Grace of Wellington.—Leeds Mercury. An evening paper says, that it was by Mr. Brougham's persuasion that the 28 opposition Members voted for the Minister on Thursday night ; by which he was preserved -from being in the minority. If this should be the case, we can well believe the reports which are in circulation— to wit, that Mr. Brougham is to be made Speaker of the House of Lords, with a Peerage, and also the sole Judge en Scotch Appeals. COUNTY LIMERICK ELECTION.—The Hon. Col. O'Grady has been returned member for this county, Mr. J. H. M. Dawson having withdrawn from the contest, *wing to an assault committed on one of his voters, 'whose life is despaired of. Mr. Dawson has given no tice of a petition to the House of Gemstone, on the ground of intimidation. The business of reforming the Law Courts is to be **Wily attempted to a limited extent by the Govern 'anent. The Duke of Wellington has already examined the returns of the fees and salaries enjoyed by Law Officers of the Crown, and the nature of the service ren dered, and it is said that he will effect a considerable saving even in this department. The saving has indeed already been effected as regards Masters in Chancery, who are also King's Counsel—three have bad their salary Se King's Counsel curtailed to extent of nearly one half. In this case the saving is, indeed, very small, but the prin ciple will, it is said, be generally applied. There Is great bustle at the Treasury in consequence of the frequent intercourse with the Bank of England, and the examination of vouchers connected with the public funds. Retnrns of the amount of stock, and the number and description of holders, have been ordered, and an un fit:elision seems to prevail that a property tax, on a scale calculated so as not to oppress the small bolder of stock er land-owner, is in contemplation. IMPORTANT TO TRADE.—By an Act passed 9th Geo. IV. c. 14, commonly called Lor d Tenterden's Act, it is enicted, " that no promise to pay, by words only, shall be deemed evidence of a continuing contract,whereby to take any case out of the operation of the Statute of Limitations, unless such promise shall be in writing." The same Act contains a clause of similar import, with respect to debts contracted by infants. AMERICAN DIPLOMATISTS' EMOLUMENTS......ESCh ---,-- - Minister Plenipotentiary receives an annual allowance of 2,2501. (with an outfit of the like amount); the Charge d'Affaires 1,1251. and the Secretary of Legation 5001. Of the former, the United States has but eight, inclusive if two to the South American Governments, Colombia and Mexico. What a contrast does this furnish to the emoluments of office in this country ! A crisis in the state of the country, more extraordinary nod perhaps more alarming than any which has hap pened in our times, is is idly developing itself. This is however less felt in London, where, in proportion to the population, there is less distress : or where that which there is, is less seen. The Birmingham meeting wiU constitute quite a Beacon to other parts of the Kingdois for the language expresied by Mr. Attwood is not that of a heated imagination, nor of a visionary, so far as a - storm is indicated. The Minister who pauses at hie, poet, in the delay of some effectual relief to the people ? may there read his destiny. From all the calculanona which we are able to make, it will ' require the remission pf at least six millions of taxes annually, on the middit and l ower cl as ses, where they shall be instantly Fell, to produce any adequate impression on the existing state of the kingdom.

Saturday a meeting was held in the new Council Chambers Guildhall, of the subscribers and others to the fund for relaying the Spanish avid Italian Refugees, for the purpose of adopting mea sures for affording assistance to the Refugees lately driven to England front Portugal. The meeting was rather fully attended. Mr. Alderman Wood took the chair, and called the Bimodal of the meeting to the objects for which it had be*. assembled. He stated that recently about 140 Spaniards had arrived in Leedom, being compelled to leave Portugal, where they had sought an asy lum from the tyranny of Spain. A portion of the emigrants had proceeded to the Brasil., some to Prance, and others to t►is country. Temporary relief had been granted to these unfortunate exiles, and the object of the present meeting was to authorise the distribution of the funds raised for the Spanish and Italian Refugees to afford assistance to those Spaniards who had lately art iced. It appeared from the accounts exhibked that the total amount received from Nov. 1818 to the present time, was, with lowest oe Stock, &c. £13,340 Os. 4d. and the expenditure was equal to that sum, less by the purchase of £6,000 New 4 per Cents, a balance in hand of .8685, and the amount of a cheque (a donation) for £l2O which turned out on going to receive it to be a fictitious gift.— Mr. Abel Smith, in rising to propose a resoludon for pasting the accounts, said, that originally 297 awn and 67 women and children were on the fend, and that at present there were 143 men, 90 women, and $4 children, supported by the subscriptions.—The re solution was carried, as were several others, tending to the ammo plidtment of the same benevolent purpme.—The meeting then broke up.

TYa ATTOSENT-0 ZZZZZ L V. =REM AND 110EVATT. _ _ The I.oan Cam Bkaou gave judgment in this case this morn ing, which was argued on Friday week. The point upon which the opinion of the Court was asked was, whether a legacy under the particular circumstances of the case, ought to pay ten or only one per cent. duty? The defendants were the executors of a gentian= named Mof fatt, who by his will left certain legacies to the defendant, with re niaiader to the children of hi► marriage with a lady of the name of Rumen. At the time the case was argued. Mr. Ana, who was Counsel for the Crown, contended, that as Mr. Moffatt was a uraoger in blood to the testator, the duty oo the legacy in question ought to be ten per cent. Mr. Mammon contra submitted. that the Intention of the testator was that the legacy was not to devolve to the children until after the death of both Mr. and Mrs. Moffatt. and that, under the circumstances, Mr. Moffatt bang no stranger in blood to the testator, the duty ought to be only one per cent. He was of opinion, and the other Judges of the Court joined with Mm in that, that t he duty ought to be ten per cent. and a verdict therefore must be entered for the Crown for the sum of £3,450 4s. sd. the amount of the duty.

MURDER OF HEMING. Worcester, Feb. S. The prisoner, Thomas Ciewes, whose extraordinary confession relative to one of these murders, we have already published, on his apprehension on Friday week, strongly protested his innocence; he be , rayed no agitation, and seemed confident of a favourable The following evening, however, there was a marked change in his conduct. He applied for a Prayer-book and Bible, which were, of course, instantly furnished him. On Sunday morning be attended Divine Service in the prison chapel, and on his return thence, ex pressed a desire to make a communication to a county Magistrate. The Rev. Robert Clifton in consequence visited him in his cell, bet before permitting him to make any disclosure.. cautioned him as to the consequences. The prisoner then made a ment, the result of which was the immediate issuing of a warrant for the appre hension of Mr. George Banks. There is rea-on to suppose that notwithstanding the caution he received, Clew entertained an erroneous impression as to the consequences of 61s confession, and that he thought as his was not the actual hand by which the deed 101 blood was committed, his life was sure to be saved. At the time of the murder Clewea was an opulent farmer, the farm of Netherwood, which he held under Lord Foley. coo tallith* about 180 acres of well cultivated land. His affairs I sub sequently became embarrassed, and he made an assignment of his stock and other effects to Mr. Woman for the benefit of his creditors. Since then he has worked as a farm la bourer, but obtaining frequent employ from Lord Foley a. woodman, he has been able to maintain a mote decent ap pearance than the average of agricultural labourers. There is ground for supposing also that he received occasional gratuities from parties (whatever might he their motives) who had known him in his better days. About a week before his apprehension he was neer being drowned in the Canal, on kis return from the Vir gin Tavern near Worcester. to Oddingley. He had drank deeply, and his reed lying by the side of the Canal. the landlord was appre hend,. of his falling in. and shortly after his leaving sent a man after him, whom he promised a quart of ale if he would see Clew.. safe home. This man came up with him sear Tibberton where, either by accident or design, Ciewes walked into the canal, and was with difficulty saved from drowning. In consequence of the statement made by Clews* a warrant was instantly issued for the apprebenaion of Mr. George Banks, and Orchard and Tilt, two police officers were dispatched in a chaise to Haubury for that purpose. The y left the chaise at the house of Mr. Vernon, a County Magistrate. residing about a mile from Hanbery, and proceeded on foot across the country to the resi dence of Mr. George Banks which is situate In a retired spot.— They found him at home, ad told him they had a warrant for his apprehension. He did our ask what for, and having doubly hand cuffed bins. they brought him to Mr. Vernon's. With this gentle man it teems Mr. Banks was previously acquainted. and was received by him in a manner which showed a deep sympathy for his present dtuation. Mr. Banks is possessed of a good pro perty, is well educated, and of pleasing address ; he kept a hunter. and was in the habit of mixing with the gentlemen in the immediate neighbourhood. On 131; being brolight into the pre sence of Mr. Vernon. he was much affected, and holding up his manacled hand; asked Mr. Vernon if the °Scars bad a right to use him so? Mr. Vernon said be feared they bad; they were o6cer acting under a warrant, and no doubt knew their duty and the in. struction they had received. Orchard here observed, Mr. Banks yew have not yet asked us what was the nature of the charge against you ; if you wish to know it, I will now tell you In the presence of Vernon. Mr. Binks repressed a wish to hear it, and Orchard then told him that the warrant was issued against him on suspicion of his having been concerned in the murd..r of Richard Homing. lie made no reply, and having received some refresh ment, be was conducted to the chaise. He maintained ■ perfect silence till the chaise bad closely approached the town of Wor cester, when be asked where they were going to take bias? Or chard replied, to Mr. Lavender's (Mr. Lavender is Governor of the Gaol). Then, said Mr. Banks, you are going to take me to the poi ; if you do that, I don't care afterwards what becomes of me. Mr. Banks is a single man, and about 44 years old. Mt .J. Barnett, the other alleged participator in the crime of Heming's murder, Is au extensive farmer at Oddingley ; be Inhe rits property, devised to him by his father's will, and is said to be worth 4110,000. He is shout SS yeais old. It is said an applica tion will be made to the King's Bench to admit Messrs. Banks and Barnett to bail. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Saturday evening an Inquest was held at the Red Lion in the Camberwell-road, before Mr. Camas, on the body of Elisabeth Simpson, aged 43, about whose death several extraordinary ru mours were propagated hi the neighbourhood. The investigation recited much interest from the singular and unfortunate circum stances relating to her decease. Mr. Gooding, a baker, residing in the Kent-road, deposed, that on Tuesday evening last, between seven and eight o'clock, &neigh bour called, and informed him that the small house in which the deceased resided was shut up ; apprehensions were entertained that the inmates were dead. The witness immediately proceeded to the Mese, and having knocked for some time, the door was opened 'by a man named Neter, , who, it appeared, had cohabited with lbe deceased, and that they were the only two persons who dwelt in d shesue. N aaaaa had his clothes on, but he seemed nearly perished with the cold ; and when asked where the female was, he replied, she was in the upper room in bed. Witnen proceeded up stairs, and on his entrance Into a room which was miserable in the extreme, he saw deceased lying on a straw mattress, with scarcely any covering over her, a corpse. The witness then laid his band on her face and breast, which were quite cold, but her back and shoulden wore warm, as if some person bad just risen from the same bed.— On Inquiry as to the cause of this circumstance, Naten said that he bad just got up from the side of the decea sed on hearing the knocks at the door; and when asked how long she bad been dead, and why be did not apprise the neighbours of the event, he replied, that she died about eleven o'clock the same morning, and the reason he assigned for not communicating the intelli gence to same persons in the neighbourhood was, that he was a stranger, and unacquainted with any one to whom he thought there was any use of making known his domestic calamities.— Every thing in the miserable habitation indicated poverty and wretchedness of the severest nature, and there was no food of any kind in the place, except the remains of a stale loaf and a few sweetmeat, , whi ch the deceased was in the habit of displaying in her window for sale, t• the children in the neighbour hood. There was also a collection of bones in one corner of the room. amounting in quantity to nearly three bushels, and the effluvia caused by them together with the dead carcase of a pig, bound under the staircase In a state of putrefaction, was of the most Intolerable description. Witness said that be questioned Nunn at the time relative to what has been described, and his reply was, that he had collected the bones to dispose of, to obt in fond for h imself and the deceased when she was alive ; and with regard to the pig,' that he had found it lying dead in a street in the neighbourhood, and that he had carried it home and placed It under the staircase, in order that the flesh might rot off the bones, which he in-, tended to have sold with the other. found in the apartment where the deceased was lying dead. The witness added, that there were no m .rks of violence on the body of the deceased that he could per. wive, and from what he had seen of the man Natio% his (witness's) Impression was that he was weak lu intellect. A medical man who examined the body of the deceased said there were no external marks of violence urn her with the ex: caption of a alight erasure of the shin on one of the arms, which would have no effect a pser general health. He was, however, decidedly of opinion that her death was accelerated by t he want of comforts and clothing during the late Inclement weather, and the miserable abode itself was sullicient proof that the unfortunate in mates must have suffered privations of the severest kind. After bearing Nater's evidenee—tbe Jury brought is a verdict, Died by the Visitation of God. The Argyll Rooms were insured for 6,0001. each in the Son and County Flre-ollices, besides an additional suns in the former on the furniture.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. At the close of Saturday's business a miserable looking man ac companied by his wife, an object more miserable, if possible, tbs. himself, and having an infant in her arms, presented themselves before Sir Jono Puma, who having demanded their business, the husband replied, " we want to be passed to Westmoreland, your worship.' Sir Joust—We have no passes here, you must apply to the sli cers of the parish you last slept in. " We slept in Crlpplegate two nights, replied the wife, but the cers wont relieve us, and tell us to go to Saint Luke's." . Sir Joan—Did you teside in St. Luke's? The woman—We did, Sir, fore coe►lderahle time, but hems. ing behind in our rent, we were turned out fourteen days ago, since which time, we have wandered about the streets, eacept the last two nights, which we spent in the Refuge for the Destitute, in Club-street. _ _ Sir Join—That does not glee yea a claim upon the parish of Cripplegate, you must go to Worship-street. " My child is perishing from cold and hunger," esciainted the poor destitute creature, casting a look of agony upon the infant, while the large tear of maternal anguish trickled down upon its emaciated countenance. " It seems very bad Indeed," observed the Marshaling., who had been looking at it for some time, "it seems almost dying." Sir J. Panama—We can do nothing ; I tell you again you must go to Worship-street. " Oh, pray do, Sir," said the husband, clasping his bath toge ther, " send us to prison—we'll submit to any charge yes plow. only send us there!" Sir Josin—l can do no such thing. " For the sake of Heaven, do, Sir." continued the odoetuesre man, " send us even for a week, and perhaps the weather may be milder by that time?" Sir Joist.—l repeat it again, I cannot do it, you must go about your business ; nothing can be done for you here. The husband and wife persisted in their request to be sent to prima, Sir John Pening ordered them to be removed, which was with sonsiderable Mushy accomplished by the °dicers, amidst the loud cries of the perishing wretches—" le, for Goo's sake, send us to prison, to hard labour, to any thing, sooner than turn us into the streets, where ourselves and our infant must die from cold and hunger."

Several witnesses spoke to facts tending to inculpate the prisoner. Mr. H*u.s committed the prisoner for trial at the next Susses Ameba. QUEEN-SQUARE. Saturday a young man, named Thomas gown with scarcely clothes on his back, and in a state of the most excr uciating torture from the effects of a broken thigh, was brought before G. W. Mesatorr, Esq. by a police-constable, who stated that he foued the poor fellow begging about Knightsbridge on the previous evening. He told him he was doing wrong ; when be said he had neither friends, relations, nor home togo to, and was starving. He brought him to the office. but he was so lame that it was nearly three hours before he got there, and the efface was closed. He then took him to St. Margaret's watch-house for shelter for the night, bat Mr. Laurie, the superiotendant of the police, refused to allow him to remain. Witness then took him to a medical man in the neighbourhood to examine his thigh, who said it was highly im proper that the poor creature should be about the streets. M. Mealtime expressed great surprise that the superintendent of police had refused to admit the unfortunate man into the watch house • and asked the policeman, whose humane conduct reflected the laiibest credit on his exertions, what lie did with the poor fellow on his being refused admittance? The policeman said hr took him to the Overseers of St. Mar guet's parish, and represented the case to them, and an order was given for him to be received into the wotkbouse for the night, ec he mast have perished in the streets ! Thedefendant, on being questioned by Mr. Maginot% said that be was an illegitimate child, and born at Belfast, of highly respect. able parents. His father, who was a man of property in that neigh. bonehead, sent him to sea when he was eight years of age, and be bad been buffeted about ever since.

There did not appear the least deception in the poor fellow's story. Mr. Moamar: then gave the poor fellow some pecuniary ae• *tame, and ordered a coach to be called, to take him to the k• firmary of the prison. Dories the whole of the day, the outside of the Aloe was crowded by a host of poor wretches applying for parochial relief, almost starred to death. UNION-HALL.
