Your peti tioners are able to prove to your satisfaction that by far the greater number of persons claiming a temporary lodg ing, or brought to them by the police, are habitual mendi cants, vagrants, thieves, and prostitutes, fitter objects for correction than relief, and who, after having been pro vided for during the night, go forth in the morning in pur suit of those unlawful occupations, the power of checking which extensive evil is by law vested in the Magistracy and police, and not in the Guardians of the Poor, who have no power to deal with it effectively. Your petitioners, to show to you the enormity of the evil to which they are subject, append to this memorial a statement of the num ber of night admissions for one week only, which is less, your petitioners would observe,by one-third than that of some of the preceding weeks. Your petitioners would submit that the three unions into which the city is divided, by a rateable contribution for the support of a general receptacle under such management would effect a considerable saving of expense, and best carry into effect both the intentions of the low and the purposes of justice and humanity. Your petitioners beg leave to express their great satisfaction in learning that your Honourable Court, having referred to the Police Committee the consideration of the best means of carrying into effect the provisions of the Poor-law, with regard to persons found in the streets of this city in a state of destitution, has subsequently approved their recom mendation for the establishment of a proper place for im mediate shelter and relief. Your petitioners thereore pray that such provisions in the Poor-law Bill now before Parliament, as may be calculated to accomplish this im por:ant object, may have the support of your Honourable Court, and that every facility may be given for obtaining the sanction of the Legislature to so important a measure.

CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS. 'EXTRACT FROM MONS. LE DRAYS "TREATISE ON LOSS OF Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none :Gore destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gams causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro duces the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A tuft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known thsi the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following Miaervations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumu oa convidereel, it would appear imposeible that any pero "Illtsion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great nuisance even on their own account : or if they are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ tag a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the senses of ethers, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is; and the sight and the smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some People, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion to the disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To hrofessional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who ave much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, I good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance ! tesides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out •f twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, eery much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony? And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the marriage state most grievously interupted by the same tens e ') _ _ _ The inconveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too Well known to require comment, but to those who have not ex ?erienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray is desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en . . dared by every individual without them. When the Teeth are lest, it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, the patient is exposed to the most distressing inoligestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in Proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth N'e gone, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions *very muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features completely drawn from their original position. To insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard to th e functions of digestion and articulation, to which they ire so essential, or to personal appearance, in which thee are So much concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not obvious that there are man) persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely %ware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul !Able negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends and associates. _ . . Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it %e duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on properly. , So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it 1,1 sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner vous debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy , the lips their vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing for th e whole body to receive such a shock as to cause re- IsXation of the whole system, which produces an irritable temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby Re become an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen ,t 0 ourselves. But I need not slwell upon the num berless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origi n t o imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu rope, and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at. the,Establishment, No. 60, Neiman -street , Oxford -street, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to Use natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful east, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing sway with the old sy s t e m of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stan re-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of om plexion, no sparkling eyes, or siiken braids of jetty hair can render that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or iscoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a tallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a llood set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. Oft the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the bre a th, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will lavariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and tree from all extraneous matter, *re an ornament equally attractive in either sex. These per sons who do not possess this natural advantage, should en deavour, by extreme care and cleaniiness, and a timely resort 1 0 artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the deficiencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becoming • re'palsive one. Monsieur LE DRAY, Surgeon. Dentist, 60, Newman -stree t , Oxford-street, respectfully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that he hontinues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine ral Marmeratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty • fEng!and, France, and throughout the Continent, which substance lee is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope ration is performed without the least pain ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state , and in a fees seconds gardens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache, arresting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute he most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation ofex ratition unnecessary. He also fastens loose Teeth, particularly of aged persons, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo mel, diseas of the gums, or any other cause. ARTIFICIA is or NATURAL TEETH of surpassing beauty, t o m a t c h equa l i n co l o ur and shape thou, left in the t outh, fixed from one to a complete set, without extractin g e roots or giving any pain ; and they are so exactly formed to nature, t'jat the closest observer cannot detect the difference, With this advantage, that they never change colour, decay, or !ear'at, at the following Paris charges : 't Se sgle Artificial Tooth t A complete Set complete Set of Natural Teeth, beautifully 'mounted in artificial gums, or fine gold, the same as charged Thirty Guns - An • , entire Set f Monsieur Le Dray's beautiful Mi- 15 15 0 neral Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, the ?lame as charged Forty Pounds ............... ••• 21 0 0 'ranged on a principle yet unrivalled, ren d er i ng it i m po ss ibl e ._ "uninguish the Artificial Teeth from the Natural ones, , 1 , -▪ 12 4 , wer g most sasfactorily all the puroses of he origina us mastication and articulation, impa p rting to t the counte -1 !"•ce younger and improved appearance, protecting the sluing teeth, a n d rema i n i ng p er f ect l y secure in their plsnes.

THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTSto the ROYAL F kMILY, 39, ALI3EMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene fited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with great distinctness ; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well kn )wn to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the ward " Amber," and calling them " Patent. Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority: From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D., F. R S., &c., &c. " Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which Influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction —very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag ments ; tha workmen, ton, are subject to nc• coos tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great uanger by handling such dreadful excited eleetrics ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take file, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Tire's statements arc further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Berns, on Che mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta cles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are Ely to be had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle -street (opposite the York Hotel), and 76, King 'William -street, Bank.

Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning Chronicle":— SI 11.--As lam sure pm will be happy to promulgate any thing that will benefit yuhr fellow-creatures, I confidently send you the following sttttement of an extraordinary cure from a violent attack ut that dreadful malady the Gout, which I have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely-circulated paper. I was attacked with it for the thi, d time on Saturday night, the 31st of %lay last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I was recommended to apply to a Mr. Fearer, woollen warehotheman, Friday •street,Cheapside, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by his father, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation, for which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it immediately; and to my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of one week the gout had entirely left me. 1 have no doubt but for this remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as 1 had in former attacks. I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the thousands who are •ictims to this distressing disease (and for which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know wh..re to obtain the s a me re li e f. Of Mr. Feaver, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen him but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit he had been the means of conferring on me; and finding he had never made this invaluable discovery publicly known, 'resolved at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Feaver does not imme diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large degre e to himself, while at the same time it would be con ferring a great blessing on thousands of our suffering brethren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own case in every possible way ; and I consider, by inserting this in your columns, you will he doing a much greater good than usually results from whole pages of matter contained in some of our daily j ournals. I remain, Sir, &c. THOMAS SCHOFIELD. 52, Lower Thames -street, and 12, Marlborough place, Old Kent -road, July 6, 1840.

THE MEDICINAL EFFECTS of STEEL, as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for ages to excel those of all other articles of the IMateria Mediaa, and in this age of luxury lnd dissipation, when the indiscretions of youth disappoint the expectations of maturity, it. is not to be wondered that a medicine of such effieaey as SEDDON'S genuine A ROM ATIC LOZENGES of STEEL should have attracted the attention of the first medical men in Europe. When the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by inheritance or imprudence are reduced to the most deploeable state of nervous debility, it is not in despair that relief is to be found. It has been ascertained, be yond a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by a ge neral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex ; and it is equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of de bility. When taken into the stomach they immediately diffuse themselves like a vapour through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary, and permanent. When the spark of life begins to grow dim, the circulation, languid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits, invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise, loss or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medicine. .....

Sir, --Corruption in Nottingham, I am of opinion, has been carried out to the fullest extent. The poor considered their own interest to be of paramount importance-5/., 101 151 ., 201., and even 25/. for a vote. The returned M. P. very kindly met their wishes, and bled freely. Formerly 800 used to be bought— at this election 'twas said 1,500 ; and there is a strong suspicion that Chartists and leaders were bought altogether. 'Tis said 15,0001. to 20,0001. will pay for both candidates. Purity of elections ! Surely we merit schedule A. To-day Air. Walter, 31. P., was chaired, but poor Chart ists ! as their green flag, with its motto, passed Tory houses with ladies at the windows covered with blue, it passed in silence !

Nottingham, April 28, 1841. Y CIVIS. GRAVESEND.—A very gay and animated scene presented itself here on Wednesday, occasioned by ti.e de parture under a grand salute, and with colours and signals flying, of two fine vessels, the Whitby and Will Watch, A body of civil engineers and surveyors, together with a complement of labourers are on board, and destined for New Zealand. This expedition is under the command of Captain Wakefield, R. N., and is intended as a preliminary measute for selecting and preparing the seat of a new set tlement in that enchanting country, resembling the expe dition commenced by Colonel Wakefield, which sailed from this in May, 1839, and which resulted in the esta blishment of Port Nicholson; the first colony of the New Zealand Company. The civil engineers and surveyors are eighteen in number, and duplicates of their machinery and instruments necessary for the furtherance of the object in view are carried out in each ship, so that no time may be lost, on the arrival of either vessel, in setting earnestly to work to prepare the way for those who are to follow. Captain Liardet, of the Royal Navy, is also a passenger, having been appointed the Company's principal agent at their settlement of New Plymouth. This distinguished officer was Commander on board the Powerful, under Commodore Napier, in the Mediterranean, and obtained his rank as Post Captain for his recent services at Acre. There are several volunteers in the expedition, intended to be settlers at the new colony to be called Nelson, the first settlement having been named Wellington. Among these volunteers are two members of a distinguished Scottish family, the sons of Mr. Tytler, of Woodhouse Lee, and nephews of the historian. The vessels, which were scru pulously inspected by Mr. Soames, the Governor of the New Zealand Company, accompanied by Mr. Aglionby, M. P., Mr. Rosa Mangles, and other Directors, appeared to be very roomy and commodious, and order and regularity exhibited itself wherever the eye could penetrate. The labourers, who are remarkable for their size and strength, were all clothed in a warm and uniform suit of blue, with beaver hats ; and exhibited correctness of demeanour and the most cheerful dispositions ; indeed, it was evident that everything had been done for them that forethought and kindness could dictate. They are all under 30 years of age and are married, and before leaving were mustered on deck, and Mr Soames, in a very appropriate and feeling speech, gave the fullest assurance that their wives and families should be sent out to join them by the May expedition, and that they should be well taken care of in the meantime. The principal officers of th e expe dition and their friends, who bad come to take leave of them, dined at Wate's Hate', and embarked at six o'clock, under a salute from the ships, which at once dropped down the river, and proceeded on their voyage. LIFE AND LITERARY RENIAINS OF L. E. L. —The mysterious death of the accomplished and ill-fated L. E. L., we arc glad to learn, has undergone a most searching inquiry, the result of which her literary executor, Leman lllanchatd, Esq., is about to lay before the public in his forthcoming " Life arid Literary Remains of L. E. L.;" and it is rumoured that the revelations there to be met with are such as must once more excite general attention to those strange circumstances attending leer de cease, which, when imperfect intelligence of them reached this country, created such painful anxiety in the minds of her numerous friends and admirers. It is scarcely possible to imagine anything likely to create so deep a sensation as the terrible fate which overtook this amiable and gifted creature, and whiht Mr. Blanchard's Memoir will fami liarize the reader with her "sad, eventful history," the various productions from her pen appended to it, now pub lished for the first time, among which is a tragedy, said to be of singular interest, will, we have no doubt, still further increase the public admiration of her genius, and the gene. ral regret that her splendid career should have been so abruptly and cruelly terminated‘ Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM resumed his argument for the petition. The Learned Counsel said his argument on the previous day had been, that pensioners under the Crown during pleasure, were disqualified for sitting in Parliament, and that the pension in this case was of that nature. He apprehended that it was intended to draw some distinction between this pension, which was paid out of the Stamp-office, and the case of a pension which was paid out of the Civil List. Ho contended, however, that wherever the Minister, in the name of the Crown, had power to exercise control over the independence of a Member of Parliament, under the statute of Anne he was disqualified. Mr. AUSTIN said he admitted without hesitation that it was a pension under the Crown, granted under the statute. If his Learned Friend could show that it was also a pension during pleasure, he should at once admit that Mr. Armstrong could not retain his seat. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIABI said, that being admitted, be would next proceed to show that the office was held during pleasure. The Learned Counsel then referred to the case cited yesterday in the matter of Hand, for the purpose of showing that the Treasury had power to grant a pension for life, and that this office was held dur ing the pleasure of the Crown. The only other point, supposing this to be established, was whether sufficient notice was given of the objection at the time of the election. Mr. AUSTIN contended that the two questions were perfectly distir.ct. It should be established that the office was of a disqualifying nature before they proceeded to the sufficiency of notice. A letter was put in by Mr. Austin, and was ideas t:led by Mr. Cuff, Sub- Sheriff of the county, as the hand writing of Mr. Armstrong. Evidence was taken as to the making up of the poll-books, but no point turned upon it. Mr. Pressley was then called, and examined by Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM. —Witness said he was secretary to the Board of Stamps. The Boa-ds of England and Ireland were consolidated in 1831, and certain reductions were made in consequence. The office of Receiver-Gene ral was among the number. On the 31st of July 1831, a report was made to the Treasury, recommending an alteration and reduction of the establishment. On the Treasury approving of the reduction a report was made of the officers who would be discontinued, amongst whom was Mr. Armstrong. In February 1832 they applied for the ages of these officers with a view to compensation, and Mr. Armstrong, not having served ten years, they granted him a gratuity of one year's salary, amounting to 461/. I Is. On the 17th of June, when the reduction Lad been completed, Mr. Armstrong memorialised the Treasury, and it being re ferred to the Board of S.amps they reported to the Treasury that he had then completed his ten year's service. In Septem ber, 1832, Mr. Armstrong was placed on the redundant list, and a gratuity of 1231. a year was awarded to him. A letter was then put in evidence, of the 25th of Sep tember, 1532, placing Mr. Armstrong on the redundant list ] Mr. Armstrong was liable to be called into active service. In the event of his refusing to serve his pension would cease. This salary would cease if he were appointed to any new office. lip to the close of the month of February he had received no instructions to discontinue the pension. Mr. Armstrong's receipts were transmitted to the Audit-office ; his name would necessarily remain upon the list until , oruers were received to discontinue payment. Mr. Tyrrell, Receiver-General of Ireland, then pro• duced the warrant from the Stamp-office to pay the salary. He, as cashier, had paid Mr. Arm strong's salary by quarterly payments. The last payment he made was on the sth January in this year. [Tee receipt was put in evidence.] He had not paid the salary on the sth of April. He received no countermand up to the month of March. He should not cease to pay it without an order to that effect. Mr. TALBOT then addressed the Committee on behalf of the petitioners. Mr. AUSTIN rose to address the Committee on behalf of the sitting Member. The Learned Counsel commencdby citing extracts from Roe's Treatise upon election law, and from Mr. Stevens's work on the same subject, for the purpose, as he said, of showing the Committee what was the principle to be applied to cases of alleged disquali fication. After referring to the circumstances of disqua lifica,ion, it was stated that the whole doctrine of disquali fication being restrictive of the elective franchise, the rules which went to disqualify the persons elected were always of strict construction, the presumption of law being strongly against disqualification. That was the principle which had invariably been acted upon. In this case there were no merits whatever. If Mr. Armstrong was to be unseated he was to be unseated upon a mere technical point of law. His friend, therefore, was entitled to no indulgence what ever at the hands of the Committee; he was bound to prove a disqualification within the clear letter of the statute. It had been concluded by the counsel for the petitioners that Mr. Armstrong was disqualified from sitting as a Member of Parliament, by the circumstance of his being a pensioner at the pleasure of the Crown, as well as upon the ground that he was still an officer of the Stamp-office. He would first state, in reference to this argument, that whatever pension Mr. Armstrong had held before the election, that pension had been resigned. }fly ing two strong points, he would not have failed in his duty to his client bad he not availed himself of both. He trusted, however, that he would be able to show that, upon both points, his learned friends were wrong. First, then, with regard to the duration. Before the year 1827, Mr. Armstrong was Receiver-General - of the Stamp Duties in Ireland. In 1828 passed the 7th and Bth of George the Fourth, which enabled the Government amongst other things to consolidate the Boards of Stamps in Dublin and London. It had been stated that the two Boards were consolidated in 1831. Upon the occasion of the consolidation of those two boards, the Government acting under the powers of the 7th and Bth of George the Fourth, abolished the office of Receiver-General of Stamps in Ire land. That was the first material fact. The office was abolished and had never been revived. This pension,therefore, was granted upon the abolition of an office, and not as a superannuation allowance. The Learned Counsel then referred at considerable length to the 3d of Geo. IV., section 15, in support of this view. He contended that this pension was a pension during good behaviour, and as such a pension for life. With regard to the point that Mr. Armstrong was still in office, he would only remind the Court of what he had before stated, that the office of Receiver-General, which he formerly held, was abolished. That in his opinion completely set that point at rest. He would now come to the second part of his argument, and for this purpose he must suppose an entirely new state of things; namely, that Mr. Armstrong was, in fact, a pen sioner at the pleasure of the Crown. It was notorious before the election that Mr. Barnard had no chance of being returned, and all were astonished that he should persist in going to the poll. A day or two, however, before the nomination, Mr. Armstrong was told that the secret of this strange conduct was that he (Mr. Arm strong) was a pensioner under the Crown, and his return would be opposed. The nomination took place on the 19th, and on the 20th Mr. Armstrong, in order to secure him self against this species of objection, resigned his pension. The Learned Counsel then read the resignation and the subsequent proceedings, by which the warrant for the pay ment of the pension was revoked. The Committee adjourned at Four o'clock. -------- COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of bu siness. THE PR' , JECTION OP TIIE SUN FIRE OFFICE. Mr. DIXON requested to be informed by the Chairman of the Commissioners of Sewers, whether any measures had been taken by the Commissioners with respect to the extraordinary projection of the nc's building of the Sun Fire-office, in opposition to the regulation for the approaches to the Royal Exchange? Alderman Giuns replied that the Commissioners had put the power vested in them into exercise ; that a ne gotiation was going on upon the subject of complaint, and that the works at the Fire-office were suspended. The intimation appeared to give much satisfaction to the Court. Mr. WELLS gave notice of a motion to refer it to the Irish Society to examine and report who is at the present time the solicitor to that Society. THE OFFICE OF CITY COMPTROLLER, The LORD MAYOR read a letter from the City Comp troller, one of the most profitable offices under the Cor. poration, representing that he was labouring under inflam mation of the spine, produced by over -exertion in his business, and that total relaxation from business for some time was ordered by his medical attendant. The letter stated that the writer had been a servant of th© Corporation for the term of thirty-four rears; that be most rigidly attended to the duties of the situation which be bad filled, and that he was ready to adopt any course which might appear to the Court to be most suitable to the interests of the Corporation. Mr. R. L. JONES, on moving that the letter should be referred to the Committee of Clerks and Officers, spoke highly of the attention paid by the Comptroller to the business of his office. Mr. JONES (of Bishopsgate) seconded the motion, and said that the office of Comptroller required very great re vision. —(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") THE POOR-LAW IN THE CITY OF LONDON. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR presented a petition from certain freemen, householders in the City of London, Guardians of the West London Union. The following are the principal parts of it That your petitioners being a Ivised that by the provisions of the Poor-law and under the regulations of the police, guardians and officers of the Poor-law unions are required in cases of sudden and urgent necessity to give immediate ' temporary lodging,' and such relief as each case shall require, but not in money, have thought it their duty, in compliance with the law, to provide a r. cep. tacle in the house of the said union for all destitute per sons applying - or found by the officers of police within their district—that the adjoining , or City of London union, having no such receptacle at hand, bus administering relief partly in money, the consequence is a vastly dispropor tionate resort of persons suffering or pretending destitu ti,in to the West London union, of which your petitioners are the guardians. That the great influx of casual pau pers of this description thus resorting and brought by the officers of the police throughout the night is pernicious and grievous, as being subversive of the discipline of the union Louse, which ought rather to be a quiet and orderly asylum for the deserving and unfortunate of the district, than a receptacle for disorderly and habitual vagrants, and further as entailing an undue burthen upon tEat portion of the City for which your petitioners are concerned.

Oliver was told it k a spy, who followed the matter so closely that be hunted Jerry to the lady's cham ber, and ran immediately to the Protector with the rows. Oliver, in a rage, hastened thither himself, and, going in hastily, found Jerry on his knees kis,ing the lady's hand. In a fury he asked what was the meaning of that posture before his daughter ? White said, " May it please your Highness, I have a long time courted that young gentlewoman there, my lady's woman, and cannot prevail ; I was therefore humbly praying her ladyship to intercede for me." The Protector, turning to the young woman, said, " What is the meaning of this. busscy? Why do you refuse the honour Mr. White would do you? He is my friend, and I expect you should treat bim as such." My lady's woman, who desired nothing better, with a low curtsey, replied, " If Mr. White intends me that honour, I shall not be agaiast him." " Say you so, my lass ?" cried Cromwell, " call Godwyn; this business shall be done presently, before I go out of the room." Mr. White had gone too far to retreat; the parson came—and Jerry and my lady's woman were mar ried in the presence of the Protector. BRUSSELS, APRIL 27.—The Moniteur Beige has the following article :—" A letter from the Hague of the 20th of April, says—A general subject of conversation here is the audience given by his Majesty while he was at Amsterdam, to the clergy of the Calvinist Church, who came to remonstrate against the execution of the Con cordat. A person who nays that he heard himself the conver sation, says that the King, answering to one of the clergy. men who reminded the King that, being himself a Pro testant, he ought not to favour the Catholics to the detri ment of Protestantism, expressed himself merely in the fol lowing terms : —Yes, Gentlemen, I am a Protestant, I know it, and nobody is more attached than I am to the re ligion which my ancestors professed and defended by all the means in their power. I, toe, am proudly resolved to tolerate nothing which can injure the interest or dignity of their religion, but, above all things, Gentlemen, I am King. I recken among my subjects a considerable num ber rif Roman Catholics, and they have an equal claim to my Royal solicitude; they, too, have rights guaranteed by the fundamental law, which is my only guide.

FOSSIL REMAINS FOUND NEAR WHITBY. —A few days ago a very splendid specimen of the Plesio saurus Dolochodeirus was discovered in the cliffs in the neighbourhood of Whitby.
