He had only to complain now, dist the right hon. gradient:sit hail at tempted, as usual, to paint the state of the fluent:es better than they really acre; this was a fallacy. lie was ready to acknowlege, indeed it gave him pride and satisfaction to do so, that the finances were in a much better state than be expected.—;Hear, hear, hear I ) ; and the right hon. gentletuan ought to have been content with stating the fact as it really was. Several resolutions were then agreed to. On the resolution for raising '200,0001. by lottery, Mr. ELLICE gate notice he would oppose this grant in its progress. Mr. BERNALL said he would oppose the resolution in the first instance. Mr. ISENN E'llT also opposed the resolution. This was a tax taken out of the vices of the people, and was taken unnecessarily, as according to the right lion. gentlt man's own statement, he had an excess of revenue of upwards of 5,000,0001. This was a tax raised on vice, whilst the house was granting money to build eltarehes. But one of the right hon. gentleman's lotteries would do more harm than all churches would do good. He should not be Pus prised if the right hon. gentleman's next budget should take example from a former Bishop of Winchester, and tax stews and biotin-IF, which would be quite us innocent and much more productive. Mr. CIII ('I'S defended the tax as one which was volun. tary ; he would rather support the repeal of some other taxes. After some further observations tho resolutions was adopted. The committee then divided.—For the resolution 123 against it 65—majority 58. On being re-admitted to the gallery we found the Chair man putting the question on some other resolutions, w hick were agreed to without any observation. The house then resumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was ordered that the house at its rising do adjourn to Monday. CRI. ELTV TO HORSES.—On the motion of Mr. R. Martin, the house went into a committee an the bill for the more effectual prevention and punishment of cruelty to horses and other animals. Mr. W. R. COLBORNE objected to the present mea sure as wholly unnecessary, or, if at all necessary, as inefficient. It would, as it new stood, only Lave the effect of punishing servants, and whets intrusted with the care of horses, whilst it would leave untouched the conduct of the owners of horses, who were often cruel in matching. them to perform great distances in vet y short periods of time. lle could not but think that the house in the present slay was too prone to legislation upon sub jects which did nut require it. (Hear.) At the same lime he gave credit to the motives of the bon, member who introduced the bill. Mr. Alderman C. SAIITH thought the principle of the bill a good one, but lie did not ice why its enactments should be , coutined to horses. He thought that asses also should be protected front the cruelty to which they were so often.exposed.—(Langliter.) He concluded by moving an amendment, wine,' wits considerably increased alien it was put to the chairman.) Mr.SCAHLETT said he felt no doubt at all respecting the principle. Nothing could be more cruel than harsh treatment of unolfending animals, and nothing mole hu mane than to prevent such harsh treatment, but it was nu a fit subject for legislation.—(Hear.) Why should there not be an act of parliament to prevent the horrible criminality of hunting a hare ?—(Cheers.) The hare had painful sensations and agitated feelings after a few hours' hard chase, )et no gentleman proposed any law for her rcliet.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman C. SMall's amendment, for inserting the words " mule or ass" after the word " horse" was then put. It was suggested to amend the clause further, by in serting after " linise" the words " mare or gelding." A Member, whose winie we did not catch, said that the generic term, " horse" included mare, gelding, unite and ass. Mr. HERVEY said it was not so in penal enactments. The amendment for inserting the words " horse, mare, or gelding, male, or ass" was then r ,, reed to. Mr. ELLICI was against such legislation, and gave notice that w lien it should be moved to report the bill, he would wore an amendment th.it thu report be received that day U months. On the clause authorizing an appeal to the quarter sessions, Mr. LLI,1(1; moved an amendment that it should be received this day six mood's. After a few words troth' the Attorney Genoral, who likewise objected to the principle of the bill, amid from Mr.. .Merman Wood and Mr. It. Martin, who snpported it, the house divided. For the amendment 31—fur the original motion 34 majority tor the bill 3. The other orders of the day were di , posed of, and the house adjourned. The indictment found at the late quarter sessions against David Ridgway, of Swarstrick-street, for publishing a seditious libel, has been removed at the instance of the prosecutors, into the Court of King's Bench. The warrant of the Chief Justice was im mediately issued, upon which Ridgway was appre hended, and brought before James Norris, Esq. at the New Bayley Court-house, on Saturday Pith inst.) Bail was then given for him to appear at the Court of King's Bench. The sureties were, Mr. Peter Turner Candclet, and Mr. James Walker, in 501. each. ltidgway's proper business is that of a fustian-cutter, but he has berm for some time a noted seller of political pamphlets. The indictment against him has been preferred by the Ciastitutiunal Society, and will probably be tried ut the next Lancaster assizes. Mr. Lushington, of the Treasury, in reply to a letter from C. M. Burrell, Esq. M. P. has signified that thefarmers will not be prevented from wetting unsaleable barley as fwd tut their cart hursei and tour arch. . ~ ..~. 4. _...1411111._ FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BANKRUPTS. S.

ON BATHING —The recent melancholy death of the Marchioness of Worcester has given rise to the following scientific observations on this subject The natural temperature of man is about 90 degrees of Fahrenheit. With such heat, equally distributed, the minutest vessels arc pervious, and heat is readily transmitted through millions of channels, upon the surface, as in the centre of the body ; but let a parson plunge into cold water, which is probably about 48 degrees, the surface immediately shrinks from the application of such a suddenly reduced temperature; the innu merable passe es through which the blood was quietly flowing instantaneously contract from impression, and refuse to transmit the vital fluid, which is directly thrown back again upon internal organs, producing an engorgement, more particularly of the brain, liver, and spleen, also the lungs, and heart, which is the cause of that tightness of the chest and frequent sighing which follow immersion. These pacts arc so wisely formed, mat in a vigorous frame, and where the internal organs labour under no disease or obstruction, the vessels of each are sufficiently firm and elastic, both to resist the force of, and to receive and retain, this additional efflux of fluid, until the heart, which is the pump of the system, assisted by the contractibility of the vessels them selves, overcomes the collapse of the surface, and force the blood again to the exterior. So far, all is well ; a glow of heat quickly succeeds, and is beneficial: but a person delicately formed, whose internal parts usually partake of the feebleness of the external structure, is little capable of sustaining that rush of blood to the interior, and to support that consequent struggle of the heart and arteries which is necessary to effect a reaction : hence a chill is often felt for a considerable shoe; oftentimes a sort of fainting is produced, owing to the heart as it were giving up the contest for a time, independently of those organic lesions or rupture of vtasels which hike place, as many persons have been attacked with a spitting of blood on coming out of the water; and it is believed by several eminent persons in the profession, that those people who are said to be taken with the cramp in the water, and arc drowned, are destroyed by the bursting of a vessel, causing apoplexy, or some other fatal effect. Again, supposing a pre disposition to aneurism, or uisease of the heart, exist, the mischief produced may be readily conceived. •' How often do we see those people who, from delicacy of frame, or bad health, would be particularly guarded against exposure to cold air, or changes of the weather, inconsistently dare the extreme vicissitude tit a shower bath. If they are not capable of bearing the impression front cold air, how will they bear a cold bath, the shock of which must be greater, mismach as the medium is denser? " Those who are delicate and unhealthy, and who wish to try the effect of a cold bath, should first make use of a tepid one, gradually lowering the temperature. If much chilliness is felt after using the cold bath, which seems to continue, the warm one hook' be had recourse to, which will instantly relax the constricted surface, and gradually restore the balance of circulation." These observations are not made with a view of frightening from, or discountenancing, a remedy which may be of considerable service when properly used, but only to infuse some degree of caution in its application. Society for the Re tiff of Aged and Infirm Pro testant and Dissenting Ministers.—The annual ge neral meeting of the friends of the above laudable society was held on Wednesday last at the King's Head Tavern, Poultry; I'. Gibson, Esq. in the chair, supported by a number of dissenting ministers, who severally addressed the meeting on behalf of the society in the moving and seconding various resolutions. The report of the last year's proceed ings was read. and presented a gratifying account of the labours of the society. After officers had been elected for the ensuing year, and thanks voted to the chairman, who expressed his acknowledgments, the meeting adjourned. His Majesty means to honour Sir W. W. Wynn with a visit this summer. The Chief of Wynnstay intends to summons the bards and minstrels (as in days of yore), to give our beloved Monarch a spe. chum of the manlier in which the Ancient Britons performed their national music. A new Freemason's Lodge has been established at Nlliford, in NVales, which was opened a few days ago %%ith much ceremony, and drew together not less than :2,000 persons. After the installation, the ladies were admitted to see the Lodge, and the marbled walls, the Star in the East, the full Sun in the South, and her mild and reviving beams in the We.t, with the brethren in full masonic costume, had a and imposing elfect. (Imperial Parliament continued front page 171.) Sir J. MACINTOSII replied, his onnopinion was, that the fn. ging of batik notes, which constituted the currency of the vomit' y, only ought to be exempted from the ope ration of capital punishment.—(Hear, hear!) —Motion agreed to. The VITOBNEY GENERAL said he had some obser vations to make against the oilier bilb,the Stealing on Na vigable River's Bill, &c.; but he did not wish to impede the public business. Mr. BUXTON wished to know whether any business could be more important than the question of life or death to so many of his Majesty's subjects ; whether any pro ceedings could be mote important to t he public than the question of the increase or decrease of crimes?—(Hear, hear ! ) Bills postponed till Monday; MATE lAN LOAN.—Lord J. RUSSELL,adverting to the Ansuiau government, respecting the repayment of the loan, amounting to 11,000,0001. asked on what ground the Aeolian government declined the repayment of that loan? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, as a negoeia ation ort the subject was now pending, he must decline euiering into details of the ease. His lordship then moved, that the Irvint of the committee of supply be received.

On the resolutions for pensions, Mr. HUME id lie would not now detain the house by dividing 1111 this item, but lie most express 108 hopes that something won'd be done before next sear to relieve the comitty from seine part of this charge which the noble marquis aptly enough called the dead weight of the coon try.—lie would now only state, that the lialt-pay and superannuated list for the army was 2,6iN1,110(11.-lOr the navy, 1,200,910h —for the ordnance, 3:.5.00..1.; and if to these were added the amount of supeiminuation for the treasury, for the alien office, &c. itc.—the whole amount of the pension list would be no less than 4,394,6801. an filial dead wrigbt on the eonutry. On the 'evolution for g tenting 137,0001 for building bort - arks. Mr. tsEnNm,i, pinioned to reduce it to 59,6001.

The other orders were dis posed of, and the house adjourned at 14 o'clock. WRID•if, JUNE 1. Mr. W. DUNDAS presented a petition from Edin burgh, against the establishment of an extra post. SLAVE RErov.tL BILL.--M r. J. P. GRANT, on moving that the Maxwell slaves removal bill be lead a second time, said, lie thought a very erroneous view had been taken of the principles of the measure. It was hot desired to sell or disperse the slaves; but he was ready to prove all the assertions of - the preamble of the bill, or to abandon it. He was anxious, in behalf via most hetievolent man, Mr. Maxwell, and IAIIO, while a ineniber of that horse, had maiforinly and warmly supported the abolition of the slave trade. Sir J. Macintosh, Mr. Baring, Mr. Barham, and Mr. CaWait, suppoi led the motion. Mr. Cottlburn, Dr. Phillimore ' Mr. Wilberforce, Lord Londonderry, Sir R. Wilson, and Mr. Peel, opposed the After a few words from Sir I. Coffin, the gallery was cleared for a division. The numbers were, For the bill, 47—Against it, 96—Majority, Si. Tate Butietar.—Tlie house having resolved into a com mittee of ways and means, at an advanced hour of the evening, The CHANCE' LOR of the EXCHEQUER entered into his amine' exposition of the state of the finances, and et the iIIIOIIIP and expenditure of the country.
