The following extract will show an unpre cedented act of sympathy for those more distressed than them selvea:— " The Committee have received (with the greatest admiration) information, that the distresses occasioned by the late inundations are 141 great as to induce six hundred persons confined in the House of Correction in Hanover to resolve to abstain from food for one entire day, in order that the value of the rations which they would have received might be applied fn aid of the collections which are now making for relieving the distresses of the sufferers."

ITORNEO, 8 0 . 0 0 1, 1 A. 0 ,. 0, and BANCA I. A Company, has irg amongst its objects the development of the rich Gold and Diamond Districts of Borneo, and the ex teneton of the great natural advantages of that immense island, the great source of wealth in the Eastern Hemisphere, is nearly s matured. 2. In the immediate vicinity of Borneo, and of not less import ance, are the famous Soo Lao Pearl Banks celebrated for the fine and large Pearls which they produce; and the island of Itanni, containing valuable Ores and Minerals, but more especially rich In Tin, of which a juster view cannot be given than in the words of Mr. Crawford, the Resident of Siocapere:— " The quantity of Tin which the Mines of Rance are capable of affording is immense, the supply of ore is nearly inde fi nite, and the facility of working great. " The whole produce of Ranee is Grain Tin, a pure metal, superior In intrinsic value to block tie 241 per cent. Cornish tin la obtained with vast labour by mining through obdurate granite, often to the predigions depth of many hundred fathoms ; Banes tin, by digging through a few soft strata of and and clay, and eel. dont to more than three= four fathoms. To clear the Cornish mites from water the truest execneire and complex machinery is re quisite ; to clear those of Bence a simple wooden wheel, costing a. taw shillings. To separate the Cornish ore from its matrix it must be ground in a stumping-mill, as well as subjected to the process of washing ; the Ranee tin is at once separated from its matrix, and fitted without further care for melting, by the simple process of passing a stream of running water over it, in an aqueduct simply lined with the bark of trees. The necessary result of all this is, that the cost of producing a teat of }Pince tin is but 221. &1., whereas that of Cornwall tin is not less than 645. 7d.; and that, while a Cornish mine seldom yields a rent of more than a tenth or twelfth of the produce, often not more than a twenty-fourth, and usually not above a fifteenth, the Bann mines yield no less than one-half. This is the most exact and unquestionable test of the su perior fertility of the me over the ether. The skill and ingenuity of the Europeans, their capital, and their machinery, make some amen& for the inferior feettliry of the Cornish mines, but such as are far enough front counterbalancing the immense wealth of those of Banes. Were the Corneal workmen, with their ingenuity, their capital, and niechinery, to he empiored or such mines as those of Banes, no ceherminee in the world would in a short time be worth working ; and, nn the other hand. were the !ham Miners. with their tools and simple machinery, to attempt such mines as those of Cornwall, there tem he no question but they would be as inarces sible to them fan all useful purposes, as if buried a league in the crust of the earth. " It is but a small portion of an island enntainirg an area of 3,400 geographical miles that has yet been examined. The mines at pre sent are chiefly confined to the northern and western parts of it, whereas the southeastern has ha-dig been touched. From one ex tremity-to the other the alluvial leads are ascertained to abound in beds atm ; and from the =stingy ut other countries it is beyond any doubt that the mountains abound in veins of it. To the dint. telt and expensive processes required for the mining of these last, it Le at present euperfluotts to look, for the alluvial lands contain the cheap and abundant supply of many ages."—Crawforere History A tithe !Mien Archinelage Vol. 111. pp. 483,466. Edinburgh, 1820. 1 Of the rich elines of 31 . ontradak, in Borneo, the same authority rates, that they are at present chiefly worked by the Chinese, to the euedwr of six thousand, who are nearly independent of any naive authority, being governed by their own Chief; the tribute paid to the Raja of Sambas, in whose territories the mine, are situated, amountieg to no more than 150 hungkais, whilst the an noel produce is 88,000 oz. of pure gold. The ore, front all ac counts, exists in inexhaustible abendenee t the immense alluvial' tracts round the whole circumference of Borneo everywhere contain ' rich deposis of this metal ; whence it necessarily folio , : s that the primitive mountains of the interior must contain veins of it. From the abundance of the ore, and the timid fascination of all mining projects, cepeeially those in qnest of the precious metals, the starch for geld will be the feet object to engage the attention of very enterprising and industrious ;wek. settled in that country, of whatever race, Amidst a great deal of anarchy and disorder, win ing has of late years heen pros-cut.-r 1 by the Chinese with surpris ing spirit. It is not above eight or ten years since considerable ca pital and the use of machinery have -e'en applied to it; and in that time there has been a vast increase of produce.—Sec Crawford, Vol. 111. Since the Diamond Mires of Golconda have been exhausted, the only sup ply has been hetet Borneo, and thence through chan nels sufficiently eireuitmet. Diamonds 'ere in no repute amongst the Chinese, or through the industry of that people we should, without doubt, have long ago foetid the produce of the mines of Borneo greatly multiplied. The Bogis Merchants are at present the great dealers in diamonds. Of the Son Lao Fishery and its products it may be sufficient to state, that rich as it is known to be at present, • greater share of skill and industry than are appl ed to these fisheries would greatly enhance the value Lod the amount of their produce. Steps have already been taken to rerun the full advantage to be derived from these objects. 1 .

Previous, however, to entering into this hollowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, t.ot only to rezulste the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless instances, which, voile they excite the commiseration of the be holder, should also impress hies with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effemiiiise the body—a residence In the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from which the agonised sufferer snore than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength, felicity; nor will our ads-fleet appear questionable, sanctioned es they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years' successful ex. peanut. The easy cares of married life see sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings width concentrate the nuptial wreath —fur the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient e:..ergy improved into functional power. In every cue of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxa tion of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the wiled empyric from the position so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general principles with less hesitation ; and confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering community of either sex (especi ally those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consultation; and Liters front the country are immediately answered these must, contain a remittance for advice and medicine, which can be fur. warded to any part of the world, however distant.

COOPER presented a petition Crum the Rural Dean and Clog/ of Gloucester against the Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill. Mr. lIU3IE said, be bad received some information of the man. ner In which this petition had originated, and tkis petition he thought it his duty to lay before the House. The Meeting of the Clergy at which this petition was agreed to. was called by no official person. In fact, wove knew by whom it was called. The place at which it was held was the Cathedral ; the precise time for the Meeting was not fixed, and only seven Clergymen attended out of thirty. Only two Clergymen of the Established Church signed the petition at the Meeting, and it was afterwards sent round the country, where the additional signatures ware produced. These circumstances bad been stated to him (Mr. liume) by a person of whose accuracy he had no reason to entertain any doubt ; be hoped this was true, because the necessity of such resorts to get up a petition proved incontestibly the good feeling that was b-rnining to be entertained by the Established Clergy towards the Roman Catholics. Mr. B. COOPER explained. Upon the question that the petition be printed, Mr. /lUME said he conceived that the facts he had stated ought to be sufficient to induce the Iltnise to re:ect the petition al together.• Mr. Secretary PEEL thought the petition ought to be received. It came before the House u the petition ut sixteen individuals, con nected with &most respectable ptofeuion, and he thought Honour able Members should not be so very minute in examining the roamer in which it originates!. Considering the number of peti. Lions presented to the House, and the manner in which they were frequently signed, he thought it unnecessary to enter into the manner in which each particular petition originated. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. PLUNKETT preamtted a petition from the town of Newry in favour of the Catholic Emancipation Bill. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. Mr. R. MARTIN rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Act 3 Geo. IV. c. 71, for preventing cruel rid din. proper treatment of Cattle. The only punishment which could be inflicted under the Act at present wi a a tine of W. or ion. prisonment for a month or two. Now these punishments might be sufficient when a person was only indicted cur beating a horse in the streets ; but if a person should be cruel enough to knock out a horse's eye, or tear his tongue out by the routs, no one could ray that a line of 5/ or imprisonment for a month or two should be con sidered an adequate punishment. His (Mr. Martin's) object now was, not so much to increase the punishment, as to render the Act operative. He would not detain the House by entering into any further details, but would simply conclude by moving that a clause be introduced empowering slagiatrates at tt,, Quarter : t ensions to award the expenses of the prosecution agair.a prisons convicted. Mr. HEA I'HCOTR briefly opposed the motion. Mr. F. PALM RR reprobated the affectation of humanity dis played by some persons since the Act proposed by the lion. Mem. be fin Gslwly had passed. Parsons tanned themselves warranted ander this Act to interfere very frequently when no severity was used. He thought the 12 onourahle Member had legislated too far already, and that it was stoat injudicious to push the principle fur ther. ... Mr. LOCI:HART was of opinion that the House and the reen try sere notch indebted to the I!on. M.truber for Galway for the attention wh.ch he had given to this aubjee. The !louse, by the Act referred to, had consecrated the onnciple that protection was due front man to itlfe:ior Jle was of opinion, towerer, Mr. ni.7511; considered that all difficulties would be removed, if as it was in the Army, paymasters were appointed to each :hip as they arc to each regiment. After one or two remarks from a Member whose nrme we could not kern, Sir G. coLnuari, in reply to the observations of the Hen. Member for Aberdeen, said, that sailors (nicht to be encouraged to allot as much as possible of their pay to the maintenance of their families. If it were the practice to pay them while on foreign stations, mach of this advantage would be lost. He All:mid be the lest In the world to censure the character of our seamen, but they were a elan who were sometimes greatly benefited by baying others to thine for them ; and assuredly their . bappines:s and comfort were :a the end Much promoted by being paid at home, rather titan abroad. He wished the House to cootd.ler what would be the difficulties likely to embarrass a Commander on a foreign station, if his sailors had more money titan they knew what to do with. Ali that was necessary for them was that their comforts should be attended to, and that they should have a fair allowance of pocket money ; the remainder of their pay would be best spent to.lseitr allotted for the use of their families. Considering the character of the men, end the situations in which they are plasm!, it would .scent Impossible, or at least highly inexpedient, to place them on the saute footicg with rogard to payment as the Army. Leave was then given to bring in a Dill for making further pro vision for the payment of sailors. THREATENING LETTERS--CLERGYABLE FELO NIES. Mr. Secretary PEEL rose to move ,for leave to bring in two Bills, the object of which was to make a considerable alteration in the Criminal Law. In applying for leave to introduce one of there he would take the opportunity of stating his views with regard to the second, but he would of course begin with that for which ha in tended in the first place to move. As the law now wood with re. gard to threatening letters, it inffieted the punishment ct transpor tation upon any one convicted of sending a letter threatenin r to pro- Seethe for a certain crime; but if the levee be merely confined to ' threatening a prosccution--not for committing the crime itself-- bat foe an attempt to commit it. then no punislitoent is provided for the offence of writing such a letter, though in a moral point of view it must be considered a (Mine calling for the lust severity of the law. In the course of the last summer an individeal had been convicted of sending a letter of the nature he de scribed ; but the law being found defective, no punizb meta could he intEcted on the culprit, for he confined himself to threatening a prosecution for the attempt, not for the arms: com mission of the crime. Thesecond Bill which he intenthd to move fur leave to introduce would have two objects; the lirst,of which was to facilitate grants of pardon to such individuris as might be justly esteemed objects of clemency. As the law at present stood a con. rifted person might rec.ive the pardon of the Grown, and yet he could not be restored to his rights as a free man unless his pardon pass the Great Sea/—a form which was attended with seine trouble and much delay. If a person having received full pardon for his offence hnppcn to be called on its a witness in a Court of Justice, lie is incomeetent to give testimony. What he thought would be a salutary alteration in the law would be, that every pardoned con-. vict should be restored to all his civil rights on his pardon receiving the Sign Manual, and being counter-signed by the Secretary of State. Suppose a man stood convicted of a crime not at all Rifest ing his credit, and that his testimony should be found material in a ease depending in a Court of Jennie; neither plaintiff nor defend am could avail himself of that testimony until the pardon of the convict has parsed under the Great Seal. Suppose a convict in New South Wales has received the pardon of the Crown, he mien-pac t edly learns the mortifying intelitgence that until he genet' to Eng land, and complies with several forms, he cannot exercise any civil right. The object of the Bill which he intended to introduce was, as he had already stated, to restore all civil rights to 11 CIrTICI mediatcly on his pardon receiving the Sign Manual, and being countersigned by the Secretary of State. When an accused and convicted man has gone through ail that the law requires, he should by the fulfilment of that condition to!coine ipso ji:rto a free subject. One of the objects of the second hill which he intethicd to intro duce would be, to alter the law as it regarded Clergiahle Felonies. An early punishment for offences of this class yes burning no the cheek as nearly as possible to the nose; for that, burning on the tel thumb was substituted, and various other atdrsequent ahsystions were made. Where a woman is convicted of a crime which world subject one of the other sex to 'shipping. her punishment ist com muted for one of • different nature, which wh-o she has endured, she has the still further disability to suffer, in being deprived of some of her most important civil rights, unless at an ieconwentenco and delay which it is unjust she should undergo. With regard to clergyabk felonies, it would scan scarcely credible to the House, that if a clergyman commis one of these felonies ht must be dis charged. It he commit a capital offence he must be hanged. If he commit a misdemeanour or a larceny, he must suffer like any other man, but though convicted of a elergyable Moos:, he shall be discharged. Although at all times an earnest advocate for ti.s rights and privileges of the clergy, yet he considered that they themselves did not desire a continuance of this exeniption. He concluded with moving for leave to brink in a Hill tor amending the law as it relates to the offence of sending threatening letters. BRIGHT observer, that there had been some difficulties on this subject in the Colt:Airs, and wished to know if the Bill which the Right Hon. licntlemao intended to introduce were to have a retrospective opera:ion. Mr. FEDI. replied, that 1 - e proposed it should be-retr-spectivs in all eases where pardons had a l ready passe d the Sign Manual. e . . Mr. LOCKHART hoped that 'such alterations wove Li* speedily introduced in the law as would prevent the escape • criminals by means of petty technicalities. He thought that sera. ing threatening letters, even where there was no design of extoruaz money, was in itself' an offence, and ought to be punished. Mr. PEEL answered, that he had received a s ggestion ham an lion. /fiend (Sir James Mackintosh) on the subject, to wh.:n he would direct his attention. and which in sit bsumce was the same with the id ui thrown out by the Honourable Gentleman whh spoke last. He then proceeded to make a few further obi.ervivirine, but suddenly dropped his voice to so low a tone as to ec et:titbit °my to those inzmediately around him. Mr. S. RICE wished some alterations winzb had been reelleitly made in the criminal law of Englard would he extended to Leland. There existed numerous absurdities in Statutes applying to Irelarni, which had been lo hp since repealed as far as they regarded England. He wished to sec those absurd enactments entirely done away with in both countries. As an illustration of his Ineuttng, the Hoer. Member referred to the law of treason, as defined by the Statutes or Henry VIII. and Elizabeth. By the Statute of llehry. any etc convected of the crime of haring called the king a Schismatic. r-ut held to be guilty of treason. Tnis Statute had wen repealed as tar as this country was concerned, but had never been repealed as it regarded Ireland.
