state pra‘Tr. A few years ago another practic'e had crept in, and no practice had ever been more loudly com plo'ned of. When lie had the honour of being placed in the Chair, he endeavoured to recall the practice of former times. That was the third session in which the general assent, with few exceptions, bad been given to his crulea vours.—(llear. hear.) Ho only wanted to ktat)w what the pleasure of the House was upon thr, matter. Ile had done his part for the convenieuce of the House, and he believed he had inflicted no injustice on the peplz— (Cheering)—on the contrary, he thought that justice had been done to the people by saving the tirne of the House. Mr. HUME thought that was precisely one of those cases in which no eeneral rule could be laid down. Wh e n petitions 4 such importance were presented they ought to he discussed ; and he should certainly like to see a discussion upon every Poor-law petition which was presented, for it was nee of those subjects which would be much benelit,-(1 by discussion. He knew of no rule or regulation of the llouse which was to prevent any Member from speaking on a petition. Neither did he think it was possible for them to make any such ; all must be left to the importance of the subject and the discretion of the Member. Col. THOMPSON made a few observations, and was interrupted by An HON. MEMBER, who said if any one were allow , A to address the house upon the petitions it was the Hen. Member for o:dham. Mr. T. DUNCOM BE thought it was but fair that a discussion should be taken upon such important petitions. He therefore moved that the Hon. Member be heard on the petitions presented by him. The gallery was cleared for a division, but none took place. On our return to the gallery, we found Mr. FIELDEN saying, had the House allowed him to have spoken without interruption, he would not have occu pied their time ten minutes, and so at least half an hour would have been saved. The HON. MEMBER then proceeded to detail the allega tions contained in the various petitions, which were subse quently brought up and laid on the table. Mr. BROTH ERTON presented a petition from Dews bury, in Yorkshire, praying for a repeal of the Poor-laws Amendment Bill. Mr. HINDLEY presented a petition from 8,000 inha bitants of Ashton-under-Line, to the same effect ; and pe titions from 5,000 inhabitants of Ashton-under-Line, from Warrington and Chester, praying for the abolition of Church -rates. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from an individual tamed William Henry Black, who complained of state ments contained in the report of the Poor-law Commissioners, (as we understood the Hon. Member). The petition was ordered to be printed, with the votes. A message from the Lords brought up several private Bills. Upon the SPEAKER ceiling upon Mr. Borthwick, Mr. A. TREVOR rose for the purpose of calling the attention of the House to the inconvenience attending the diffictlty in presenting petitions, and to move that on Wedstesdays, precedence be given to them after the Speaker shall have taken the chair. The SPEAKER put it to the Hon. Member whether be should not defer that motion till the reading of some Or der of the Day. Mr. A. TREVOR said his notice was given upon the first Order of the Day, or the first motion. He had how ever no objection to give way to the Hon. Member for Evesham. CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY. Mr. BORT H WICK then rose to call the attention of the House to the subject of Convocations of the Clergy, with a view to the introduction of such reformations as should render the meeting of that reverend body practicable and efficient for the purposes forwhich itwas recognised by the Constitution. For centuries the Church of England had been placed in a situation singularly anomalous. The subject to which he was about to call the attention of the House was full of difficulty, in consequence of the total inattention that had been given to the subject not only by Par liament, but by the country generally, for so long a time.—(Hear, hear.) It seemed, in fact, to be al most forgotten that there was such a thing recognised as a Convocation of the Clergy. The Convocations, as they at present existed, were in his opinion attended with the worst of consequences, and if allowed to remain in the state in which they at present stood, would, he had no hesitation in saying, be hurtful to the Church. itself. If they asked why clergymen did net sit in that House, they were told it was because they sat in Convocation. The Hon. Member for Middlesex taunted the Church with an unwillingness to act in her own affairs, and that she was slow to petition for her own reforms ; but now, when the question was brought under consideration, the Honourable Member was not in his place.—(Hear.) lie believed much good would attend the revival of the Convocations. Would any man say that the Bishops and the Clergy in Convocation assembled would attempt to pass any law, or introduce any ecclesiastical canon, which would interfere with the supremacy of the Crown, as the head of the Church, or with the free deliberations of Parliament as the representatives of the people ? If they met in Convoca tion they would follow the example which the Church of Scotland had so wisely adopted, of discussing the questions that came before them with that tem per and moderation which so well became them, and which rendered their meetings effectual for the purpose for which he now sought their establishment.—(Hear.) The Church was most anxious to have those reforms which they had been taunted with being unwilling to receive. O n what gr oun d cou ld t h at w hi c h h asked be refused to the Church, when the House was deluged with measures totally incompatible with her interests ? The great point upon which he rested his appeal to the House was, that the altered circumstances under which the country was placed rendered it necessary that the self regulating principle should be restored to the Church, in order to prevent much evil being done to her, by the crude and indigested measures which had been in troduced by those who either did not care for, or who had determined at once to put an end to, her best interests. (Hear, hear.) Members of the Church of Rome regarded the Church of England as one of the greatest heresies ; and if they were honest men they must dissent from that which was calculated to injure their own Church. Being purely preliminary to a future and more ex tended step, he would move for an humble address to the Crown, praying that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to afford to his Parliament the advice and assistance in matters Ecclesiastical, of the Bishop and Clergy in Con i'ocation assembled. In the Bill which he should have the honour to propose, ho would provide that the Convocation should be confined to one assembly, and have full power to communicate with both Houses. It was his intention on the 20th of June next to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the remodelling of the Convocation of the Clergy, after such a fashion as would render its sitting practicable. The Bon. Member concluded by moving that an humble address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he would be graciously pleased to afford Parliament his advice and assistance, with a view to remodel and revive the Convo cation of the Clergy. Mr. A. TREVOR seconded the motion, and contended that, as the Clergy were not directly represented in that • House, they ought in some way to be enabled to take a part in their consultations as regarded matters connected with the interests of the Church. This was the more ne- cessary at present, when so many motions of great impor tance were daily brought under their consideration on the subject of Church Reform. The destitution of the work ing Clergy was often alluded to in that House. What tri bunal was mere fit. to submit the consideration of it to than the Convocation ? In the case also of Clergymen who might have disgraced their sacred calling, who were more fit to give judgment than an assembly of the Clergy themselves' Mr. HUMS congrattarted the Hon. Gentleman on his motion, and on the full attendance of Members on his side of the House. He believed that during the greater part or the speeches of the Hon. Mover and Seconder there had been one solitary Member on the Opposition benches._ (Laughter.) With respect to the motion, by all means if the Convocation was still an existing institution, let it be in the exercise of its full powers. But, certainly, when the Hon. Member brought in hi Bill, he (Mr. Hume) should move a clause to relieve the Bishops from their attendance in the House of Lords, as they would then have an oppor tunity of attending to their affairs in their own Convoca tion, and a very large portion of the - House had already voted in favour of such a proposition. Hi: believed the great mass of the Clergy would be much better pleased if it were so. Lord J. RUSSELL thought he should be best serving the cause of the Hon. Memh , .. , r by letting his speech and that of the Hon. Seconder go forth to the world without any answer. Should the measure again come before them in any other shape, his opinion would be decidedly opposed to that of the Hon. Gentleman opposite, for the opinions of a Convocation would be of no effect unless supported by the sanction of that House. Nor did he think the cause of re ligion would be much benelitted by the removal of those religious disputes which had occurred in the reign of Queen Anne. He hoped, however, when next the Hon. Member brought forward the question, the Hon. Members for the Universities would be i❑ the House, to give their opinions on a subject so immediately interesting to them. Mr. FORBES hoped the Hon. Member would withdraw his motion. Mr. HINDLEY—No, no. Mr. BORTH WICK expressed his readiness to with draw the motion, as so many Hon. Members had gone away in the belief that there would be no division ; but if Hon. Gentlemen opposite wished he would proceed, though he should stand alone. Mr. HINDLEY objected to the .withdrawal of the mo- lion. He thought it was a most desirtaMe Wit that the Clorgy shoold manage their coWn aqaitt , in Convocation.

LORD EGRLUONT V. SAUL. This was an action for tolls. The cause was tried before Lord Abin7er at the Summer Assizes in 1835. A verdict was given for the plaintiff, and tt rule has since been ob tQined to set aside tint verdict and have a new trial. Counsel were heard on both sides, and The CoUIIT took time to consider tit 2 tiliqS6oll. MAYALJ. t!, MILFORD. This was an act4.3n on a policy of insurance, effected on the machinery or a cotton mill. The policy contained a warranty of different thinFe, and among the rest one to the effect that tin mill should b e " wor k e d by clay only." On one occasion the steam-engine which set the machinery at work was kept in action during the night, but its force was not directed upon the machinery of this mill, but on that of en adjoining mill. This fact was stated in the plea as an answer to the action, the plea alleging that the stencil-engine and shaft were worked by night, and that this was a breach of the warranty that the mill should not be worked during the night. The cause was tried before Lord Abinger at the Assizes, when a verdict was given for the defendant. A rule had since been obtained to set aside that verdict, and enter a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. CRESWELL showed cause. 11-ic ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeared to support the rule. Rule absolute. COURT OF COIILIf ON PLEAS, Ma r 2. CAPPER V. FOSTER. This was an action of assumpsit for the breach of a con tract by charter-party, whereby the plaintiffs, the owners of the ship Flora, engaged to supply a full and complete cargo for her, with which the defendants engaged to proceed from the Thames to Rio Nunez, and there to re-load a full and complete cargo of certain articles that were mentioned— " all or any of them"—permission being given to fill up any unavoidable deficiency at St. Mary's. The breaches as signed were, first, that the dcfeneants did not load a full and complete cargo at Rio Nunez ; secondly, that they did not complete the cargo at St. Mary's with the articles spe cified in the charter-party ; and, thirdly, that they did not pay for the cargo which they brought. There was a se cond general count as to the freight. The defendant's pleas traversed the whole declaration. The action was tried before the Loa]) CHIEF JUSTICE at Guildhall, when a ver dict was entered for the plaintiffs for 74/. odd, in addition to 25/. which had been paid into Court. Sergeant TADDY had obtained a rule to show cause why a verdict or judg ment should not be entered for the defendant, and that rule now came on for argument. Mr. Sergeant WILDE showed cause against it. Mr. Sergeant TADDY supported it. - The COURT deferred their judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, 11•14 r 2. FOX AND WIFE V. CHINNOCE. This was an action of trespass for an assault upon plain tiff's wife, alleged to have been committed upon the '2oth of October last. The cause was tried before Mr. Baron Gurney at the last Assizes for the country of Somerset, when plaintiff obtained a verdict, with .501. damages. Mr. Erle, in the course of the present Term, obtained a rule to set this verdict aside and proceed to a new trial, upon upon the ground of being taken by surprise, and also upon affidavits tending to establish an alibi on the part of the defendant. The COURT discharged the rule. _ IN THE MATTER OF THE CORPORATION OF THE TRINITY HOUSE, DEPTFORD-PETITION OF ELISON. In 1795 the Corporation of the Master Wardens and Company of the Trinity House demised to Lieutenant Smith, R.N., for a term of fifty years, the beaconage, buoyagc, and other tolls of the Longship's L;glithouse, on the coast of Cornwall, together with the Wolk Rock signal post, at the rent of 1001. a year, he undertaking to build and keep up the light. He died intestate in 1809, leaving a widow and four children, who took according to the usual course of distribu tion. The widow died in 1835, leaving her property in equal shares among the children, and appointing her son, H. Pascoe Smith, her executor, who took out letters of administration, and divided the property. In July, 1829, the petitioner, Captain Elison, married one of the daughters, but made no settlement on her. He afterwards granted an annuity of 601. a year, charged on the fourth share of these tolls which came to him in right of his wife to a person named Kearney, and upon obtaining a further advance in, creased the annuity charge to 240/. a year, to continue till the expiration of the term, unless redeemed. Captain Eli son afterwards, in 1830, assigned his interest in the light house, &c., to two trustees, in trust to pay to his wife out of the proceeds an annuity of 3001. a year till the expira tion of the lease. The petitioner prayed that, after setting aside a sum sufficient to secure the payment to his wife, Mrs. Elison, during the remainder of the term, of her an nuity of 3001. a year, the residue of the purchase money and the interest should be paid out of Court, and handed over to him. His LORDSHIP was of opinion that he was bound to comply with the prayer of the petition.—Ordered accord ingly. _ADMIRALTY COURT, MAT 2. THE BRANKEN MOOR.-SALVAGE. This is a suit for salvage, promoted by the crews of several luggers, comprising 54 men, against the owners of the Branken Moor. It appeared that the latter vessel, while on a voyage to Rio Janeiro, with a valuable cargo, on the 26th of November last, having unsuccessfully endeavoured to work through _the Downs, got into the Gull Stream ; that a Deal boatman, of the name of Marsh, went out to her assistance, and offered to take her into the Downs, and that his services were accepted ; that in consequence of the weather having become very boisterous, and having been ran foul of by a brig, both her cables were slipped, and she was running fast on the Brick Sand, but by the direction of Marsh the was steered on the Sandwich Flats, in Pegwell Bay ; that the gale increased, signals of distress were made, and the loggers went out to render assistance ; that their crews with great difficulty got near the Branken Moor, and rescued the passengers, who, with Marsh, the master, and crew, deserted the'vessel ; that another vessel, the Earl Grey, with the assistance of the salvors, succeeded in light ening the ship, and afterwards brought her in safety to Ramsgate harbour. The value of the ship and cargo amounted to about 10,500/. Dr. PIIIILIMORE contended, on behalf of the salvors, that his party were entitled to a very liberal reward. The Learned JUDGE could not consider that the services rendered by Marsh entitled him to the character of a salvor, and would dismiss his suit. The other parties had been placed in extreme peril in assisting the vessel, and the Court could not award less than 2001. to the salvors, with their costs. BANKRUPTCY COURT—Mir 2. ELIZA LUCY VESTRIS'S BANKRUPTCY. The first meetinr , of the creditors un d er th e fi a t i ssue d against M a d ame Vestris,' lessee of the Olympic Theatre, but described as of Prince's -court, Storey's-gate, music seller, was hell to-day for the proof of debts and the choice of assignees. The number of creditors present was very small. Mr. Keene attended on behalf of the creditors, and Mr. Bacon as counsel for Madame Vestris. Mr. Keene wished to ask Mr. Davis, who claimed to prove fur 3501. a few questions. Mr. Davis, in reply to the interrogations put to him, had discounted the bill in question for Madame Vestris, leaving her 230/., and had furnished her with wine for the remainder, less the usual discount of 51. per cent. Madame Vestris, at a private meeting of her creditors, had admitted the correctness of this claim. He had not brought his books with him, but they would show the transaction. Mr. Keene submitted that as Mr. Davis was not pre pared with his books the claim must stand over. Subsequently, however, Mr. Walnisley, Madame Ves tris's solicitor, stated that the debt was bona fide, the bank rupt having given a warran t o f attorney fo r th e amount, and the proof was allowed. Mr. Goidsherd appeared to prove for 300/. on two bills of exchange, drawn upon the bankrupt by Mr. Anderson, and accepted by Madame Vestris, being the same as the claimant proved a few days since for at the first meeting of the creditors of Mr. Anderson. The claimant gave 180/. for the bill of 200/., and 80/. for the 1001. bill. He was introduced to Mr. Anderson by a lady, and subsequently to Madame Vestris, to discount bills for her. He (the claimant) had several conversations with Madame Vestris respecting the bills, and she expressed her sorrow that she was in such a mess.—(Laughter.) He had only his banker's book present to verify his statement. The COMMISSIONER decided that the proof ought to be allowed. Mr. Keene asked if there had not been an action com menced against Madame Vestris on one of those bills ? Mr. Guldsherd said an action had been commenced, but that he took it out of the hands of the party who then held it, paying money for it, and the action - was dropped. Mr. Hooper, late treasurer of the . Olympic Theatre, TBE SUN, LONDON, W Kiti:ed io proce for 3061. Os., but after a short ekaritination, it appeared that proceedings had been commenced in Chan , eery, and the proof, waspo:stpoueu. nied Mrb doll herd appointed one of the creditors' assignees, as there had been assignments of a considerably amount Of property, in whidi the estates of Madame Vestris and Mr..

Mr. Sydney wished to put some questions 40 Madame Vestris, and the Learned Commissioner directed that lady's attctidance in Court, Mr: Baron, ae!!ofrpanied by the bankrupt's su'icitor, 'lauded Madame Vestris into Court, which was at the tirtie sn crowded that it was with difficulty she could reach the body of the room. She was evidently much agitated at the peculiar position in which she was placed, but soon regained her sit•posiession. Madame Vestris, having been sworn, stated, in reply to some preliminary questions, that she had sinned a paper (which way handed to her), which she believed to be in the hand-writing of Lord Edward Thynne, and, if she recol lected rightly, in his presence.. It was an acknowledgment of her receipt of various bills stated in it, and was signed by IR!. to enable Mr. Anderson to raise more money by discounting bills. Mr. Sydney—Did you, Madame Vestris, authorize Mr Anderson to account to Lord Edward Thynne, for the proceeds of bills discounted by Mr. Anderson ? Madame Vestris—Yes. The whole transactions were entirely be tween Lord Edward Thynne and Mr. Anderson. Mr. Sydney—Did you authorise Mr. Anderson to ac count to Lord Edward Thynne for the bills ? Madame Vestris—l authorised Lord Edward Thynne to act as,my .agent, and not Mr. Anderson. Mr. Sydney—lf, then, there was any difference in the proceeds of these bills to whom would you look—to Mr. Anderson or to Lord Edward Thynne. Madame Vestris—l should considi r to Lord Edward Thynne certainly, as he acted as my agent. The bankrupt further stated in reply to questions that she had signed the paper produced, but she did no t thi n k it was th en filled up. She had signed it with the view of enabling Mr. Anderson to raise more money. .It was, as far as she could judge, in the hand-writing of her agent. For the first bill of 300/. in the paper she received 240/., in a check from Mr. Knight, but she handed over the money to Mr. Anderson, to meet other bills (as we understood Madame Vestris to say.) She had been introduced to Mr. Knight by Mr. Anderson. - In reply to questions from Mr. Bacon, Madame Vestris stated the blank acceptances had been' handed to Mr. An derson with her knowledge, and that she had sometimes re ceived money from Atr. Anderson, which was returned. Blank acceptances were given by her agent to Mr. Ander son, with her consent. Mr. Anderson was her agent through Lord Edward Thynne. Mr. Sydney applied for a private meeting, to enter into an investigation relative to certain property which had been asigned over. The Commissioners thought that was the duty of the creditors' assignees. If they did not enter into an investi gation, then an application might be made. After a few other questions had been put to Madame Vestris, bearing upon the points already referred to, she received her protection and retired. The total proofs to-day were 1,387/. Ps. Bd. Mr. Angus and Air. Davis were nominated the creditors' assignees. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday, Mary Donohue, a nymph of the sister king dom, was brought before Mr. Hosuris. Police constable 32 E, was on duty in Great Titchfield-street a short time time ago, when he saw the prisoner squatting on a basket of linen on the pavement, and seeing that she was drunk and incapable of taking care of herself; he conveyed her to the station-house, and, when sufficiently recovered, to the office. Mr. Hosxiss—What have you to say to this, Mrs. Donohue ? Mrs. Donohue—l've a mighty dale to say, your Honour, and when your Honour shall hear my story, I'm sure you'll not be angry or displeased at all at all. Mr. HOSKINS—WeII, what is it Mrs. Donohue—l must be after tellinr , you that Paddy Burk and other coun trymen of mine, after a long hargument over a pot.of mild half-and-half that night, came to the conclusion that Greenacre would not be hung. Why not, says I, " Base," says Paddy, " he's a diver fellow, and will chate the hangoaan, as he chated the other woman." Och, bad luck to him, then ; but he shan't escape anyhow, says meself, for I'll go and see justice done to him. So, accord ingly I goes to the Ould Bailey, and had the satisfaction of seeing him dacently and expeditiously hexecuted wid me own eyes, your Honour. Mr. HOSKINS—And so you got tipsy afterwards ? Mrs. Donohue—Your Honour's jist guessed it. I was so mightily well plased at what I had seen, that I could not help taking a drap ; and hope, upon sich an occasion, your Honour will forgive me. The man wot cuts off a woman's head, can be no friend to the shemale sex, anyhow ; and shough I dislikes cruelty, I think he ought to be burnt to death, so that he may be after remembering the smart for the rist of his days. Mr. Hosktss —What are you, Mrs. Donohue ? Mrs. Donohue—A washerwoman, your Honour ; and I lives in York -court, near your Honour's office. Mr. HostuNs—Well, go about your business ; but mind, don't get in the suds again by drinking. Mrs. ponollue— Good luck to your Honour, I see you arc a friend to the fair sex ; and may you live long to enjoy the swate craters, and never change your opinions. Mrs. Donohue then withdrew. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Ycs terday morning, an investigation took place at the gaol, at Il ford, relative to the attempt made by Thomas Cornell, a car penter, at Stratford, to murder a young woman, named Austin, and afterwards to cut his own throat. Under the care of Mr. Valiance, surgeon, both Cornell and the woman were soon in a fair way of recovery : but as the former attempted to termi minate his life by rending open the wound, he was confined in a strait-jacket, and two persons were appointed to attend him. On Saturday, being sufficiently recovered to be removed, he was taken before the Magistrates at Ilford, and by them re manded for fursher examination yesterday. The strait-jacket was continued upon him in the prison. It has been stated that a woman who lived with the prisoner had disappeared—as he said, after having robbed him—and it was hinted that sus picions were entertained that she had been murdered. This, we find, is totally without foundation—the woman in question had lived with the prisoner for the last twelve years, and a short time ago she left him, since when he has appeared in ra ther a disturbed state. After Cornell was committed to Ilford Gaol on Saturday, she, however, made her appearance, and requested permission to see him, which was refused. Cornell, who is a middle-aged man, still looks very weak and wan from the wound in his throat. The young woman, whom he is charged with attempting to murder, is the daughter of a widow who receives relief from West Ham parish, and has not, we understand, been one of the most virtuous characters. After Austin and other witnesses had been eix.amined, the pri soner, on being asked what he had to say, in a very faint voice said, " All I've got to say is, that it was from affliction, and from being in trouble from that woman I have been living with—l don't mean this woman—which caused me to drink,,, and I was not in my proper mind. That's all 1 have to say," The prisoner was then fully committed for trial at the Central Court for the attempt to murder. The prisoner, in the course of a few hours after, was removed to Newgate. —Essex Herald. A dreadful accident occurred on Tuesday last in a quarry belonging to Mr. J. Price, situate at the high end of Gateshead, by which five men were crushed to death. It appeared from the evidence given before the coroner and jury, that the unfortunate men had worked to a considerable depth in the quarry, when it was considered necessary, from its peculiar formation, and the want of space for the ingress arid egress of carts in the removal of the stone, to erect a scaffolding at the top, and with a crane and " sheer-legs" draw up the stone to the bank. At the time of the accident upwards of '2O tons of stone were lying on the scaffold, and the men had just drawn up a tubfull, of about half-a-ton weight, when suddenly the scaffolding, with a tremendous crash, gave way with the unfortunate sufferers, burying them amidst the stones arid timber, and the result was as stated above. The following special verdict was returned—« \`T find that the death was accidental ; that it occurred in a quarry close adjoining the public highway in Gateshead, and was caused by the falling of a scaffold insufficient to support the weight of stone which had been placed upon it; and we arc strongly of opinion that the working of the said quarry should be immediately discontinued, and the excavation filled up." The German women arc so clumsy about the feet that I suspected them, for a long time, of wearing boots under their stockings.—Frazer's Magazine. LIMITATIONS OF ACTIONS.—REAL PROPERTY. —On Friday Lord Abinger presented the following Bill to the House of Lords :—" To amend an Act passed in the 3d and 4th year of his present Majesty, intituled an Act for the limitation of actions and suits relating to real property, and for simplifying the remedies for trying the rights thereto. Pre amble—Whereas donbts have been entertained as to the effect of a certain Act of Parliament made in the 3d and 4th William IV., intituled an Act for the limitation of actions and suits relating to real property, and for simplifying the remedies for trying the rights thereto, so far as the same relates to mort gages ; and it is expedient that such doubts should be re moved : be it declared and enacted, &c., that it shall and may be lawful for any person entitled to or claiming under any mortgage of lard, being land within the definition contained in the first section of the said Act, to make an entry or bring an action at law or suit in equity to recover such land at any time within twenty years next after the last payment of any, part of the principal menu or interest secured by such mort gage, although more than twenty years may have elapsed since the time at which the right to make such entry or bring such action or suit in equity shall have first accrue, anything in the said Act notwithstanding."

Madame Albertazzi is a native of London, and is the daughter of Mr. Francis Howson, a teacher of music. Having manifested a disposition for singing, her father put her, in 1826, with Signor Andria Costa as his articled pupil. She improved rapidly, and, in 1827, M. Costa took her to live in his house, that he might superintend and perfect her instruction. In May, 1828, she made her first appearance in public at the concert of Madame Cittadini, at the Argyle Rooms, and then gave every promise of future excellence. In June, 1829, sites again sang at the King's Theatre, at the concert of Signor Grazziani, Lind with increased success. In the same year she became acquainted with Signor Albertazzi. who was also a pupil of Signor Costa; and, in November, 1829, she left Sig nor Costa's house to be married to Signor Albertazzi ; she was then only fourteen years and a half old. In August, 1830, she and Signor Albertazzi went to Brighton, where she was well received in concerts, and gave one herself. In 1831 she returned to London, and gave a concert on the Bth of June, at Mr. Rolandi's, in Berners-street: She and Signor Albertazzi left London immediately after, at id in 1832 site ap peared at Milan ; from thence she went to Madrid ; and her fame still increasing, she had an engagement for Paris. She there pleased highly in the Cenerentolo, From thence she went to Turin, where she performed with success. Last season she again returned to Paris, and increased her reputa tion.—Masical World. The body of a man was a few days since found in the river, near the Three Mills, West Ham, and has been ascertained to be that of Henry Frisby, whose father was formerly a wine-merchant in Mark-lane. He was a dissipated character, and being, by imprudence, reduced to poverty, it is supposed that he committed suicide. His legs were tied together, and in his pocket a paper was found, directing that his remains should be taken to the Unicorn public-house, where they now lie to await the Coroner's inquest. The body has been in the water 23 days. —Essex Herald. CITY OF KERUAN.—At ten o'clock in the morn ing I returned the Governor's visit." The sheiks, who were come to accompany me, wished me to walk, as the Sapatapa himself never rode through the streets of the holy city, ex cept when on a.journey ; but, as the Governor had visited me on horseback, I insisted upon riding as far as his house, agree ing to visit the rest of the city with them on foot ; to which proposal no difficulty was made. I found at the caid's some of the heads of the clergy, who appeared pleased with the veneration I manifested for Mahomet, and with my particular inquiries t especting all that concerned the sanctity of Keruan. On this occasion I learned that Keruan owed the high advan tage of being the fourth city in the empire of.lslam to the cir cumstance of containing tlw sepulchre of the friend and barber of the prophet. This is an important charge among the re tainers of an eastern sovereign, because it implies a high de gree of confidence. His name Was Übait La, which signifies a man of _God; and this worthy is said to have marked out the site of the great mosque erected, at a later period, by Sultan Benirlib. All the ruins in the vicinity were plun dered to provide materials for this colossal temple, said to contain no less than 500 granite columns. Its appearance and extent, surrounded as it is by a wall, give it, notwith standing its beautiful cupolas and towers, the appearance of a citadel rather than a church. We walked round the whole edifice, accompanied by five or six grandees of the town; and, like a fox round a dovecot, I tried anxiously to peep into the inside. I did not, however, succeed, for every aperture was carefully closed.. Before one of the gates lay an old iron cannon; and the spiritual chief of our escort had the face to tell us, very seriously, that Mahomet had been in the habit, during his wars, of sitting on this cannon, to pray to Allah for victory. We afterwards wandered through the whole of the city, which contains about 60,000 inhabitants, and is much cleaner than Tunis.—Prince Puckler Muskau's Travels in Africa.

CELEBRATIpi e" i OF AN AFRICAN MARRIAGD " After a short march we met some horsemen, one of whoill led a richly-harnessed, dazzling white horse, whose mane an d tail were dyed with henna orange colour, and the rest of the body decorated with spots of the same.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF HUMAN LIFE, BY T H% Of AUTHOR of " TREMAINE."-If uniform grace and s pirit s language—purity, elevation, and variety of thought-- 0 ", shrewd estimate of character, can make a work popular, to o these " Illustrations of Human Life" will be generally re:, and admired. It is not a book to be lounged over i n t , boudoir, and then thrown aside and forgotten, but to be $ 0 tentively read and meditated upon, for it abounds in curio.. and subtle speculations, the result of long experience on po io deeply interesting to the well-being of society.—Sun. A dispute took place between a Capuchin and Je v " as to which of them could cite the greater number of holy dividuals ; and it was at length agreed that they should a lte r nately pluck a hair from each other's beards on naming 011 '4 sainted personage.
