The fol lowing is an abstract of its contents : Parishes are empowered to establish select vestries for ma naging the concerns of the poor. The number of members of such select vestry to consist of substantial householders, not exceeding- twenty, nor less than fire, with the Rector or Curate, and Churchwardens, and these members, so elected, to he appointed by a Justice. Such select vestry shall con thine in office until 14 days after the neat annual appoint ment of Overseers, when it may be again renewed. In cases of emergency, Justices are empowered to order relief. Over seers are to be appointed by Justices, upon the nomination request of the inhabitants of a parish in vestry assembled. The Churchwardens and Overseers are empowered to build or enlarge workhouses, by the direction of the inhabitants in vestry assembled ; and where no poor-house can be ob tained within a parish, they may resort to an adjoining parish for one, which shall he held and considered to be part of the parish on behalf of which it shall be purchased or hired. Churchwardens and Overseers are empowered, with consent of the inhabitants, to let portions of land to poor inhabitants. The amount of money to be raised within a year, for building, purchasing, or repairing, is limited t o one shilling in the pound upon the annual value of the pro perty in the parish assessable to the rates for the poor : but in cases where the inhabitants of ally parish shall consent that a greater sum than one shilling in the pound shall be expended in one year, further sums may he raised by loans, or by sale of annuities for lives, &c. chargeable upon the fu- Vire rates of the parish. The rates shall be levied in certain ases on the owners, instead of the occupiers of houses, but the owner not being an occupier, shall not be rated in places where the right of voting for Members of Parliament depends on the rating. Power is also given in this Act to remove chargeable poor born in Scotland, Ireland, or in the Isles of Man. Jersey, and Guernsey, although they have not com mitted act of vagrancy, and should they be vagrant, they may be removed without being previously whipped. LONDON JOURNALS; FROM THE MOIINING P‘PERS OF THIS DAY. [British Press.] The 1111rquess (!e Latour Manbour, who, we understand, is appointed At of France to this conotry, and shortly expected here, was the friend of -- de Puzy, and confi ne d with him chitin;; the time of the Republic : a closer onion has since taken place, by the mart iage of the sort of one party to the daughter of the other.

[Morning Post.] It was yesterday reporvd on 'Change that the French Lek;idative Chambers had been dissolved, anal that the King of France was alarmingly in disposed. N.Ve give these reports mere), as they prevailed, without vouching for their accuracy in any respect. [The Times.] Advices have been received from the Com minder-in-Chief of :he Expedition.' against New Grenada, d ited the I ill January, from New Pro vidence. It appears that he was to leave Nassau on the following (fay, with Colonel O'Hara and his personal Staff: they were to rendezvous at Old Providence. It is asserted that it pail of his force must have by this time been in the occupa tion of Santa Martha, as Gen. Morilto had with drawn his troops from the place, and the Militia, it was expected, would make no resistance. TAX ON COAL. BIRMINGHAM, INfAncu 3.—A very numerous and respectable Meeting. of the Inhithitants of this town yesterday took plnce at the Pnh!ic Office in Moor-street—EnwAnD THONIASON, die High Bailiff, in the Chair. The Chairman stated, that the object of the Meeting was to present a Petition against, and to oppose, by every means in their power, a measure now in agitation to lay a Tar upon Inland Cont. Isdrich, if carried into► effect, would he attended with the most serious consequences to tl►e Trade acrd" Manufactures of this Town. The great va riety and brunche3 of ntanufa Cf oriel cnrried on in Birmilwham are principally n►etallurgic, and the many processes required to complete the articles so made, ail mr►re orless consume the artic:e of Coal. Our mannfacttires were struggling with for snidahle competition, and so nice is the balance in our favour, that was the addition of this projected impost permitted to be carried into a !4 v, it ‘VC)!IId OttlOollt to our total exclusion from foreign markets. lir frir Ns.,tireil that the observations that Wollid arise in tie diSell49loll of the measure would hilly prove ate necessity of taking the most effectual steps to avert the evil Of so ruinous a species of taxation. Several Gentlemen afterwards propoird the Re solutions, which were passed unanimously. To those persons who Adr►iire the great im provements in the Opera• House and the West End of the Towir, it must be gratifying that a i\leetin ; ,• of tie Inhabitants of the Hayn►nrket and its neighbowitood has lately been held, to ;,0;e into consideration the propriety of applying to Parliament to ;move the Market.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday last. There had been no further meeting of either of the Chambers. The Moniteur continues to give, day by day, the speeches delivered at the Sitting of the Chamber of Peers out Saturday, respecting the projet rela tive to the Election Law. The following are extracts :--- " Pants, MARCH 2.—Sunday before mass the Count de Loewenhjelm, the Swedish Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, had a pri vate audience of the King, and delivered a letter front his Sovereign. The health of the Minister of War is entire re-established. " There will be a public Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-morrol,v, to hear a report respect ing several Petitions; after which, in Secret Com mittee, M. Laffitte will dcvelope his proposi tion for maintaining the Election Law without aitcration. " The Gazette of Lausanne announces, that the Swiss Regiments of the Line, in the service of France, have received orders from the Minister of War to recruit, so as to make the effective Esta blishment 1,515 men. " The Chamber of Peers will assemble this day, to receive it communication from ,Government. " The German Journals contradict the report of an intended marriage between the Archduke Palatine of Hungary and the Princess Pauline, daughter of Duke Louis of Wartemberg. " Some of the German Papers contain the following notice, respecting the Universities of Germany :—that of Gottingen has 770 students, Halle 500, Breslau 366, Heidelberg . 363, Giessen 241, Maubourg 197, Kiel 107, Rostock 160, Grieiswald 55, Landsfurt 640, Tubingen 698, Berlin 942, Leipsic 911, Jena 634, Vienna 957, Prague BSO.

" MADRID, FRB, I G.—According to the official dispatches, the Plague had diminished at Tan gier, between the 20th December, and the 25th January, but it had spread to most of the towns and villages in the Empire of Morocco ; at Tetuan it liqd increased, and was making great progress at Fez and Aleplinez ; at Tunis, the deaths were MAILS.

HUNT adds—" 'This is enough to convince every friend of Liberty in the Country that they must never again place any re liance in Electors of Westminster; they have now confirmed what was so strongly suspected at the last Election, that they are DECIDED ENEMIES of UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE." It is very obvious what 11r. HUNT means by Liberty, but we differ with him in thinking that no reliance can be placed on the Electors of Westminster on questions involv ing real Liberty, and not revolutionary licentiousness. We hope that not only they, but the people in general throughout the realm, are, indeed, "DE CIDED ENEMIES of UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE." A Fl anders Mail has arrived. It brings Brus sels Papers wild Letters to the 3d inst. In conse quence of the high price of meat in the Nether lands, which has continued since the scarcity in 1816, a project of law has been presented to the Second Chamber of the States-General, for the adoption of measures calculated to reduce the price. The project proposes, that for three 911c cessive months, commencing the Ist of April, and ending the 30th of June, it shall be allowed to import into the kingdom oxen three years old, without paying any duty. THE THEATRH.—Theimpular and amusing old Comedy of Rule a Wye and have a Wife was re presented last night at Drury-Lane Theatre, and Mr. KEAN took the part of Leon, which be sus tained with considerable effect. RUSSELL was humourous and characteristic in the Copper Cap tain. Mrs. GLovea has long been admired in Esgania, and was not less spirited. What a dearth of dramatic genius appears among us when we compare modern works with this sterling old Comedy ! Mr. KEA has never appeared in the Fart of Hotspur, hut he offered to perform it, if Mr. STEPHEN KENIBLR would resume the part of Fal staff. The latter should repeat the htunourous Prologue, with which he first introduced himself in that character on the London Boards, and so whimsically adverted to his own pretension in point at least of size. Mrs. Sumo:vs has of late been a frequent visi tor to the scene of her former glory, Drury-lane Tbeatre. We are assured, that the most liberal offers have been recently made by the Committee to induce ber to perform a few nights, but she has given the most decided refusal. ROYAL ACADEMY.-Mr. SP ANE gave his third Lecture on Architecture la►t night. The learned Professor resumed his enquiry into the history and character of architectural columns. He reduced them within precise limitations, descanting upon the attempts which had been made in several countries, particularly in France, to form new capitals ; and from the frequent failures, he infer red the impossibility of improving upo❑ the mo dels of antiquity. The Lecturer then adverted to the adjuncts of the capitals, and to the use of all matter's connected With them, according to the several characters which the different edifices might require. The subject was illustrated by admirable drawings. We cannot pretend to fol low this Gentleman through the whole of his in ►eresting Discourse, which concluded with some pertinent and striking remarks on the opportu nity which the proposed erection of new Churches afforded of calling forth the architectural genius and learning of the country, in the formation of works that might promote the national honour, and enable us to eater into a generous emulation with the noblest works of antiquity. MURD6II.—AII Inquest has been held at the Lord Wellington 'Tavern, Kent•toad, on the body of Mr. John Mathew Meadows, the son of Mr. Meadows, the master of the rope-ground in Woolwich Arsenal, who was, it is supposed, bar barously murdered, robbed, and thrown into the Surrey Canal, from whence the body was taken. It was in a most shocking state from the effects of wounds and bruises. The nose was literally driven into the face, sup Posed to be fron► a bludgeon. Verdict—" Wilful Murder, against some person or persons unknown.' in December, 300 per day, and the plague had ex tended to all the Communes of that Regency. " The Royal vales are still at from 80 to SS " VIENNA, FEB. 17.—The Persian Ambassador sets out from hence the 20th instant. " The greater part of the Foreign Ambassa dors, accredited here, follow the Emperor and Empress to Italy." New Orleans , Papers, to the 12th of January, arrived this morning, but they contain no news of consequence. The Paper of the 31st of December gives a long letter from Major BAKER, of Fort Dearborn, addressed to Major-General MAcoMB, giving an account of the loss of the Hercules schooner, Captain CHURCH, on Lake Michigan. EVELETIi, the only passenger on board, and the whole of the crew, perished. The following is a List of British ships left at New Orleans on the 13th of January, brought by the ship Alabama, HAMILTON, arrived in the River : Ships—Alfred, Spencer, for Glasgow; Thornton, Holmes, uncertain ; Diomede, —, discharging; Diana, Harvey, of Liverpool. Brigs,—Thomas, Ohkey, for Liverpool; Parker and Sons, Hodgson, for do., Marquess Wellington, fur do.; Dee, —, fur do.; Isabella, of Liverpool. This morning a large Placard was posted up in the vicinity of Covent-garden, signed HENRY HUNT. It is a bitter Philippic against Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, whom he accuses not only of political apostacy, but of a new assumption of religious hypocrisy. He affects to pity Mr. HOEHOUSE, styling him the " Cats-paw of the Tall Ape." The conclusion however contains, we trust, a striking and valuable truth.
