In what he was about to say, he did not mean to insinuate that she returning clerks had acted wrong is admitting that vote, or that they had put an errone'us construction on she resolutions or the House of Lords on this subject. ,He was rather inclined to think that their construction was a c'.rrect one. He considered it due to them to say that much ; but in justice to himself, as the humble individual who brought torvrard those resolutions, he must state, that should their construction be held <arrest, the intention of those resolutions was not an swered, since, in that case, collateral descendants, on assuming a tite, could come forward and vote, without their claims having been brought before the proper authorities. Should he be so fortunate as to be again elected a Repieseatative Peir, he would feel it to be his duty to bring forward an amendment to these resolu tions, whereby persons assuming to be the collateral descendants f Peers shall not be entitled to vote till their claims shall hare been decided ou in the proper quarter. _ _ _ _ The Totes having been counted, the following ci:• teen Noblemen were declared duly elected, viz.:— votes. ! sa . 56 .

Her efforts were unfortunately retarded by the current of air, a hich extinguished the light. She however pro cured another, and succeeded in grasping her husband, but not having sufficient strength to retain her hold, and being nearly falling herself into the water, was compelled to le{ him go. She caught him a second time, and by their united exertion be was providentially enabled to cling to the side of the boat until he raised himself into it again. The boat unfortunately, during' this time, had drifted to a considerable distance from the spot where the accident happened, and when the ag;tated woman discovered her son it was impossible to make any exertion for the preservation of his life, and be was drowned.

A number of resolutions _were passed, ex- 1 pressive of their distressed situation, the most important of which was one to memorialize the Eatl of Flat ewood, Lord Lieutenant of the West Aiding of Yorkshire, to ike the;gcase known, that some means may be adopted to relieve Iheir present calamities. The conduct of the people was perfectly peaceable. A deep gloom per vaded the whole assembly, Rncl even hope, which comes to all, seamed almost extinguished. Ti e following is a copy of the Memorial to the Earl of Hat ewooti : " To the /tight Honourable the Lord Lieutenant of the West- Hiding of the County of York. " MT Loan—We, the undersigned s, spinners, and la• bourn, of the town and neighbourhood of Altnondbury, humbly beg leave to make our distressing case known to your Lordship, fully confiding ha your known generosity of disposition, and your wish for the peace, happiness, and prosperity of our country. We are men, and though, from our bumble situation in life, some may deem it presumptuous in us to approach into your presence, yet the necessity of our families demands at our bands every lawful exer tion to obtain bread for our wives and children, since the sources of our labour and industry have failed. These blessings have fled from us fur some months past, and after having tried parochial and charitable aid, we find them quite Inadequate to our wants. The greatest proportion of our employers, after having used their best endeavours to continue our work, we fear are fast falling under the difficulties which are now overwhelming the commercial and ma nufacturing classes in one common ruin. "The few who have ventured to memorialise your Lordship. under these most trying circumstances, only form the outline of hundreds and thousands of their fellow-workmen, whose eases are equally distressing and appalling. And we most humbly beg your Lordship to make the necessary Inquiry into our state, and to order such relict' as will keep our families tir rsistenee and preserve the peace of the country.--The tale of our distress a nd sufferings is too long for a memorial; but if your Lordship will condescend to give as a personal interview, we will relate our various trials and suffer kegs, and we doubt nor but your Lordship will use your best ender roan for our relief. s And your Memorialists will ever pray." 111ANCHITATER, JOLT 14.

The people at Ashton are resolved not to die itsr, and why should you ?" This harangue was received with lead shouts, in which, how ever, the people did not all join ; and after they had been exhorted to come armed on Friday night, they dis. parsed. Of course considerable alarm prevails here; but the military are in sufficient force to put down any tumultuous assemblage. CHARGE UNDER JONATHAN WILD'S ACT. Saturday, at the Mansion House, inelfil Lee was brought before the Loan hiATOL charged under the followiug circumstances lir. Prior, a silversmith, in Gracecburcb street, stated that his house had been broken open A short time ago, and robbed of pro. perty to the amount of between 4001. and 5001.1 all that could be done by the firm had been don. to detect the thieves. On Sunday se'nnight, when the family were going to divine service,tbe prisoner Lee came into Mr. Capper's house, where witness was, and said he could recover the goods if be got SOL Witness observed to him, that, if the goods and the thieves were brought before the Lord Mayor, be should feel no hesitation in giving the lona required.—Tbe Pri soner : I was never seen by the prosecutor, except in the company of Cowton, the officer, and I never had any idea,of taking the sa without bringing up the offenders.—Mr. Prior said, that Lee bad said the offenders could be irought forward; that he bad seen the rwidth had been stolen, and that they had been all correct on e dil dnesday, at a house. The Loan Maven asked who the pri. loner was, and what he represented hinted( to be? Witness—He told me he was an Officer in the Secretary of State's Office, and superior to a Bow-street officer. The Loss Maros said, there was an imputation against Cowton, the officer. in this case. Cowles said the prisoner had come to him upon the occasion, but be had had wiprevioss acquaintance with him, and knew nothing about his abject.—Mr. Prior said he had not paid a halfpenny, as be was de termined that it should all come before the Lord Mayor. The Loma Matron: The prisoner does not appear to be aware that be is accused of a crime for which a person has hewn banged, and others have been coovicted and sentenced. Cowtoo, the officer. stated, that on the Seth of June, the pri soner came to Mtn, while he ems at dinner, and said he bad bees sent to him by an officer of the City. The prisoner stated, that be knew who had committed the robbery at Mr. Prior's, and could get back the property. Witness thought the opportunity ought not to be lest, but stated distinctly to the prisoner, that no. thing could be done without taking up the prisoner and the goods before the Lord Mayor. Witness asked whether there would be a reward, and Mr. Vosekk, a tradesman, who lived opposite to Mr. P.'s house. and who had been robbed to a large amount a short time previously, stated, that there should be a reward if all the goods were returned, or a reward in proportion to the value of the recovery.—Mr. Prior t I certainly acceded to the proposal.— Covrton stated that he went with Lee to a public-house. Lee there said he was going to see one of the men engaged in the business at a public house, and asked him (witness) for a little money, as he wanted to produce a small sample of the goods before he should get the warrants. Witness then lent him a sovereign, and the pri soner appointed to meet him at 7 o'clock. Witness waited till 9, but in vain. Lae called, however, nest day, when the witness was not within, and left word-that he should call again at one o'clock. Lee never made his appearance. but was apprehended at 3 o'clock in the morning.. —The Loan MAYOR said, an imputa• dimirsi been cast upon the character of the Officer, but that person .41111 y acted imprudently, not corruptly. lle declared that If like the prisoner were encouraged, there would be a great iOMrw et robberies in the City of London.
