It is said, that Mr. Tierney divided the Committee, and alone in voting against the Report. Thus, then, the report cannot be in favour of a very sudden or ilecided plan for the resumption of cash payments, or Mr. Tierney would not have voted against it ; and yet it must hold out a reasonable prospect, a rational scheme far that resumption, or the other five or six opposition members of the Committee would not have voted for it. The public attention has been very properly call. ete to the Parish Clerks' Bill, now before the House of Commons, and we hope that the well-founded opposition to the Bill will prove effectual. We ere no rational grounds fur proposing such a measure, which must add considerably to our present burthens, which are already excessive. We expect to hear of petitions presented to Parliament from every parish embraced in the provisions of the Bill, to prevent it from being carried into a law. t:f• 1)r. t'c r PAR case of aduliery, ex-' tremely nossipiteated, and oullnienl;y scandalous, was brought on last WLditesday before the Tribunal at Cveseetional Police at Paris. A tidy,. aged 24, was ac cused of having permiced herself to be seduced by her physician, and iii hat committed the crime of 'adul tery with him. From the number of ladies WllO ' tended the.court, it widen; that the Case was tiered highly interesting. The accomplished elegance of Inc accused, the ,harms aof her fignie, her trembling at the bar during the discussion, excited much interest. 'lke other accused is much esteemed to his - prolestion as a physican. Several witnesses were cr amitied, and in particular two servants, ss hose test i 'nutty as to tile facts was sufficiently conclusive, .at least as to appearance. The intercourse was discovered by the husband its rather an extraordinary mas ter. The lady, whets writing two Liters, one to her •littsband and ano ther to her lever, mistook the superscription ; and het husband, the Sieur 8., on receiving a note is :111 unusual stvle, suspected some mystery, anJ after some inquiry, ' succeeded in developitht the whole. The further pi o ceedings were deferred till Wednesd ay next. The following address was on Wednesday pre sented to the Court by the London Grand Jury:— The Grand Jury of the city of London haring presented to the Court all the bias which have beta brought bore them, take leave respectfully to ask for their discharge ; at the same time lamenting the extent oreritue which they bare had so investigate. and looking with confidence to the adoption of every means which may tend to promote its diminution. In the prosecution of their duty, the Grand Jury have viAtod die Gaol of Nes/Kate, std fes: called upon to expwas chair apprubation.of Mc conduct of Mr. Brown, the keeper, in the superior cleanliness of-zhe prison. as wed as in the evident regard which lie pays to the comfort :did necessities of the prisoners; bin they regret that the limited tent of the prison will not admit. in its present crowded state, of a more complete classincetion of prisw.ers. The attention of . the Grand Jury has been store particularly drawn to the system adopted by those ladies whose benevolent auentions to the ins movement of the female prisoners are sostrongly . evinced by their • advancement in morals and discipline. which i n the opinion or this- 1 111y demands their Pi& thanks.

The Prince Itegent has purcuaseei the Palace at New market, which is to undergo a complete reumation under the directinu of Mr. Nash. A correspondent from Grimsby, referring to the arrival of several vessels at that port from the Con tinent with bones, observes, that t h e eagerness of English ogrisulturists to obtain this manure, and the cupidity of foreigners in supplying it, is such an to induce she laster actually to nib the sepulchres of their forefathers.
