This day's Alarket was indifferently attended by Millers or Dealers. The eh'n•.of fine Eng• lish Wheat being confined to few hands commanded a fur ther advance of Id. per bushel : Irish was also iu better request, but the holders were asking *full Y. above the rates of Saturday last. The sales of the latter have been limited. Grinding Barley as last noted. The supply of Oats is not extensive, nor is the demand free at the quota tions subjoined, which are -t,d. to Id. above the Prices of this day week. Boiling Pease are nominal. lei the price of Beans there is no alteration. The Brewers and Dealers in Malt cannot be induced to go into stock, although this article is offered at exceedingly low rates, pherefore the trade is dull. The anticipated rise in price of Bread caused the Bakers to buy Flour more freely to-day, at. 6d. per sack above the quotativus of this day-week. Oatmeal is . 6d. per load dearer. Quar. of 8 Imp.

CANNING A general meeting of the subscribers to the monument proposed to be erected to the memory of the late Mr. Canning, was held on Saturday, at the Thatched House tavern, to receive tin: report of the committee appointed to make arratigements for carrying into effect the objects of doe subscription. There were frOm 15 -to 20 individuals .present besides the members of the committee.. Their rePortrecomMended:that Mr. Westinacott should be entployed to execute the colossal . bronze status, pro. , posed tO be*Cteet4 ionorne public situation in London, for the sun/ of 7,000/,, and that the arrangementafor erecting - a marble Statue tO Cannit4' in Westminster Abbey should be for the present postponed. On. the ComMittee being asked why Mr. Westmacutt was selected in pre-' ference tO Mr. Chantrey, the Chairman (tLe Earl of Har rowby) stated the reasons which had influenced the deci sion of the Committee, and expressed a hope that Mr. Chantrey would still execute the marble statue in the Abbey. On its being asked whether, in point of fact, Mr. Chantrey had not positively declined to do so, it was ac knowledged that he had done so at first, but that at pre-- sent the state of the case was, that Mr. Chantrey had not " entirely accepted" the proposition of the Committee. Discussion was deprecated, as being likely at the present moment to defeat the object which the Committee had at heart, that Mr. Chantrey should execute the statue in the 'Abbey. On its being stated that much blame had been east upon Mr. Chantrey out of doors for the course which he had adopted, but that no discussion would be attempted, nor explanation of Mr. Chantrey's motives be entered into, if the Committee declared their opinion that no kind of blame whatsoever could be imputed to Mr. Chantrey, seve ral voices from different .Members of the Committee an swered, that in their opinion no blame whatsoever did at tach to Mr. Chantrey, and accordingly no further discu.a sion took place. We have good reason, however, to know that Mr. Chantrey not only has not ." entirely accepted" the pro position, but that he has at this present moment ." entirely declined." Among those present were the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Getlerich, Lord Mountcharles, Hon. Agar Ellis, M.P., fir J. Macintosh, M.P.. Mr. Spring Rice, M.P., Mr. Wilson Croke'', M.P., &c. &e. THE IRISH POST-OFFICE. (From the Dublin Morning Register of Friday.) The following is front the Su N :-" By an observation of Lord Wallace last night, we perceive that the Parlia mentary Commissioners have recommended the.consolida tion of the English and Irish Post-Offices. Should this take place, we trust that the conduct of the Irish Post- Office will be given to its preient indefatigable Secretary, Sir Edward S. Lees, than whom there does not exist a more efficient or more conscientious public officer." We cannot well understand what " consolidation" Means when used in reference to such an establishment as the Post- Office. The functionaries in London cannot, with perfect convenience, superintend the despatch of the evening coaches, or sort the letters for the morning's de livery. If " consolidation" mean the abolition of one or two offices, and the substitution of a few pretending and illiterate Englishmen for the heads of departments in this country, we must enter against it our most solemn pretest. The " consolidation" in other institutions has by no means increased our desire. for experiments in the post-office.' 'lt has led to no practical saving that is worth speaking of ; it has greatly incommoded public business ; and it has put into the places of 'old and efficient servants of the Crtrwn, low-bred, half-educated and .stupid Englishmen, many, of whom to this day earn their salaries by means of instruction borrowed directly from neglected or discarded Irishmen. As to Sir Edward Lees, who is specially alluded to in the paragraph of the Sun, we embrace with pleasure the opportunity we are afforded of declaring our per sonal opinion ,that there cannot be any, where a more efficient or praiseworthy officer. Tie p u blic voice o f Ireland is certainly unequivocally declared in his fa vour and, in that of Mr. Thomas, Orde Lees, upon whom a great portion of the burden of the Secretary ship necessarily falls, - and who combines in his own person as much zeal for the service of the Crown, and as, lively a regard to the-interest and convenience of tl.e public, as are united in any officer holding high or confidential station in any part of his 'Majesty's.- -therminions. The Irish post- of in all its itepartinents, is well served, and so the voices of the whole,publie acknowledge. The " conaolida tien" eon only ha‘e the effect, as it has had. in other in stances, of giving complexity to its ai rangements, of impeding the public .business, and providing situations for a new colony of hungry and low-bred Englishmen. The great object, indeed, s:enis to be to establish the retainers of the English Treasury, and supplant the Irish: We have • heard of a " new way to pay old debts," but this is an old, expedient for effecting modem purposes of exclusion and ~inonopoly. There is a gez4 deal said about the encouragement that is afforded to " Irish industr! - ." Wlsy is the talent and integrity em ployed in many of the public departments of Leland dis regarded ?..The prostration of a loom iu the Libuity orates juSt lamentation—but while it does hundreds of respectable meritorious, and most intelligent individual::, attached to the public offices, are supplanted in their situations by fe i'eign pretendere, - and hurled into poverty and despair, without exciting the least sympathy or notice ! This at least is descriptive of the system of " encouraging Irish indus try" Which-has heretofore prevailed. Better thinga are an ticipated, wehope on just grounds, under the administra tion of Lord Anglesea. (From the Dublin Patriot.) • We cannot abstain from remarking that in any arrange ments:contemplated, we trust the industry and talent with. which Sir Edward Lees, and his brtither, Mr. Thomas Orde Lees, lure conducted that establishment, will not be lost sight of. We can state that none in any public depart- meat have given greater general Satisfaction.' OMNIPRESENCE OF THE DEI A Second Edition of this very beautiful, elegant, and in many instances, sublime Poem, having been called for, we feel much pleasure in copying the fol lowing just testimonial to its merits, and the un doubted genius of its young Author, from the John Bull of yesterday : " Our attention has been directed to a poem from the pen of Mr. Robert Montgomery, a very youthful poet, call ' ed the " Omnipresence of the Deity." It perhaps is needless for us to add our tribute of praise to tliis beautiful and truly excellent work, since it has already reached a second edition ; but we have derived so much pleasure from its perusal, and so much admiration of the poetry and the sentiment which pervades and charac terises it, that we could not resist giving expression to the feelings it excited in us. There are in the volume which contains the larger poem, some smaller productions, by the same anther, which breathe the same spirit and possess the same charm, and we have no hesitation in saying that such a work, from the pen of a writer not yet of age, gives earnest of future power which promises to place him in the very highest rank of modern poets. The Cordelia and Britonzart sloops of war, of 10 guns each, have been sent to Oporto, to lie there for the better protection of the British interests anti property, during the present disturbed state of that country. CONCERT AT GUILDHALL.—A Conceit, upon the same scale of magnificence as the last, was per formed at Guildhall on Saturday, for the benefit of the City of London National . Ward and Parochial Schools. The indisposition which prevented the attendance of the Duke of CLARENCE at the dinner for the Drury-Lane Theatrical Fund, still continued to such an extent as to prevent his attendance on this occasion. Among the audience, however. were no less than eight dignitaries of the church and their families, together with many of the Nobility and Members of the lower House of Parliament. The principal vocal performers were Madame I'AsrA, Miss STEPHENS, and Miss BARON ; supported by the p o wers of BRAIIAM, Ptirwars, and TERRAIL. .The name of Miss WILKINSON was announced in the programme, but it was stated, at an early hour of the morning, that sudden illness would prevent her attendance. Madame PASTA, however, with a very liberal feeling, consented to sing an additional song, in consequence of this disappointment. The orchestra was under the superintendence ~of Sir GEORGE SMART, and led by Mr. CRAMER, in a style of more than ordinary perfection—the chorus being unusually perfect in their duties. Miss STEPHENS sang remarkably well, and BRAHAM with .a purity of taste suited to the occasion. The Hall was not crowded. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Yesterday morning, about twenty minutes past one o'clock, the house of Mr. H. BARR, silversmith, No. 111, Holborn, was reduced to ruins by fire, and jewellery, &c. to the amount of about 1,500/. destroyed. Mrs. Bann., in jumping from the two: pair back window on to the leads qr roof of the parlour, with an infant in her arms, fell throus,i the skylight , and was dreadfully cut and injured. A servant girl broke both her is endeavouring to escape by the same means, and shockingly cut her feet and• legs with glass bottles. Both females are in a dangerous state: The child was not materially injured. k,t)AiviMR‘IIAL kho 43 ,65 - .679 IV 1 850 2400 1309 2127 1998 1000 5719 26367 47 1'24 fti 1 !t I 90 675 530 90 34 8 28 10 27 8 325 1114 ‘J9S 12 29 1 - 66U1 ;E. :, 0--- nferlOi---fC,r l e is r ,l i :i ci . linl t (sl4) B , E4l .g te l ld h l:,, , ii : l .3 ?e t a o P t3 e t ....

On the morning of Saturday last whilst the wretched convicts, Field, Burnett, and White, were ruminating, in the dark and cola solitude of their cells, on the few 'minutes left to than of - mortality, " Tom" .was amusing the turnkeys, in a room near to the drop, in the detail of a few of the incidents which have marked his eventful life, till Mr. East staff entered tlm room, and a new halter was shown to the orator.. He examined it with r. scrutinizing eye, and untwisting a partef it,applied it to hie nose, —for,: no doubt the smell of a well. t‘visted rope is as - pleasant to Tom's olfactory nerves as " the sweet breath of the south stealing o'er a •hed o violets." .Twice and thrice was the rope snuffed at, when at last he held it at arm's length from him, and broke out into the following eloquent cord criticism; " Vy 1 say, master, it smells o' junk, and ben't twisted as banter should be; now here's one (making an ex •tract from his pocket). Summut like; it ' cost me eighteen-pence. I've tried all them there ropes with my own weight, at a three-foot or three4oot-two drop; and they'll bear an) chuck." Then turning round, and addressing a respectable builder of the town, he added, "I'm a droll hand to • go loose."— There, seemed to be a general coincidence of opinion, In this remark. Tom Was asko how ninny of . hiS fellow-creatures lie had relieved of their lkorldly cares ? " Vy, I've knocked .off somewhere about five hun dred and fifty, and never had a haccident, because I always carries a good rope.. These three (adverting to the unfortunate sufferers.about to be consigned to his merciless hands) makes three more, and then I've another at Oxford, and three more a' Wensday at Nevegate-!--so it's busy work." A loud yell, which Tom, no l doubt, would call a laugh, marked the wretch's exultation at the thriving state of his I trade. In the course of the morning " Ould Tom" had made an inspection of the dreadful machine on which he was about to operate. He was asked whether lie approved the plan of it ? " I calls it a foolish sort of thing; it's like going up a church steeple to get a top on .it." It was in timated to him—for " Tom" has always an eye to business,--sthat Field had a good watch ,in his pocket, which, by the bye, was not the fact, and was named solely to excite his unfeeling rapacity. " Then it belongi to me, and as soon as he's off, I'll bone it. I don't much mind their clothes, and if their friends want 'ern, they shall have 'can for a fair price." Tom now thrust his legs nearly into the ash-hole of the fire-grate, and rubbing them with his hands, (which seemed not to have come in contact with soap for the laSt year), with an expression of the highest satisfaction at his exploits, lie entered into a long narrative of some of the, principal executions at which he had attended :—" I did the business for Mester Fontilry (Fauntleroy) in style ; every body said I did it well; and it was a good job, for I got above 3/. for his clothes. I tucked up Thistlewood and all them chaps, and held all their heads (another yell) in this here hand,"—spreading out his arm. " There was a lot on 'em ; -they never complain after me !" Tom, of course, judged this to be a palpable hit, and its excellence' called forth a reiterated howl of exultation. • In this heartless way did " Mister Thomas Chesshyre,"— so he designates himself, proceed, till it was announced that the prisoners had finished their ihnoi°rrnibtlheenmm, ( N i s e i with lifea n w alacrityas to o last devotions i n t h e c h a p e l— an d t h en lie hurried o th u a t t t h o li p s him which real sh opllvecad sure !—When asked where he lived, he gage in the following notification of the locus in quo of his do micile :—" I ar'n't shamed of my name—it's Mister Thomas Chesshyre, and I lives at No. 2, St. James'S- I street, Oliver Mount, Shoreditch,Lunnon."-.—Berks Tonicle.

A capital day was antici pated, from its being known that the stag was a tried good performer. Ile Was uncarted at Now Lodge, Winkfield; and after the usual law the hounds were laid on, and pre s:,ntlwook the scent. The cry was shrill and melodious, tad the pace soon selected the horses ; front the beginning 'here was no chance for the " skirters." The stag folly maintained his former reputation. / His first step was towards St. Leonard's, right through the woods, returning by the Squirrel at Winkfield ; then back again down the road nearly to the Stag and. Hounds at Spittal ; right away through Windsor Great Park making towards the Lodge, through his Majesty'. gardens, •n to Virginia Water, thence to Shrub's Hill, St. Anne's Hill, and Ottershaw Park. Up to this period the stag had kept on at such a rattling pace as to distance all who had not made up their minds to a hard day's work, and got nags that could do it. After doubling about for some time longer, he was finally captured in Lord King's Park, at Ripley, after a tremen dous run of three hours and a half. Out of upwards of one hundred gentlemen, not more than eight or ten were in at the taking ;. among them, as usual, was Lord Mary borough. It was acknowledged to be an unparalleled hard day fur both horses and hounds. Several horses were killed, and showed "symptoms" of hard work.—Berhs 'Chronicle. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

THE ADELPIII.—This pleasant little theatre closed on Saturday night with a speech from Mr.-YATEs. A case of forgery, associated with frauds of another description, has just been communicated to us on authority of so unquestionable a character, that it becomes our duty, however painful the performance of that duty may be, to lay the facts before the public. The offender is the Rev. Mr. —, and our indignant regret is en hanced by the fact that he is a Protestant clergyman in orders, though at present he is not, nor has he been for some time past, holding any other'cleriCal character. He took out his degrees, it seems, under another name, but as sumed the one which he now bears, from what motive we are yet to learn. About nine years ago lw eommenced teacher, and succeeded to an old-established academy for the education of youth, in which he was eminently successful, although his literary acquirements were not of the highest order ; but he provided for his own deficiencies by the engagement of competent assistants in the classical department; however, it is certain that at one time he numbered from 150 to 160 regular day scholars in the establishment. It would he presumed that any gentleman circumstanced as he was —without the incumbrance of a fitmily, enjoying the re spect and confidence. of his patrons—might from such source derive • au easy and honourable, if not an affluent, independence; unfortunately for him, frugality and industry were qualities for which the Rev. Gentleman was not par ticularly remarkable, but rather the reverse---,his habits were indolent, and his income seldom regulated his expen diture. The consequence is obvious ; the negligence of the principal furnished a plea for relaxed assiduity on the part of the subordinates, to whom he alMost wholly relin quished the management of the school—it declined, and his affairs became embarrassed. Unable any longer to meet his engagements honourably, the unfortunate man re sorted to those expedients which have now involved , him in disgrace and ruin. He commenced his career of crime as a taker of spurions bills—by various unworthy stratagems he obtained the signatures of the ushers and scholars, then giving them currency and imaginary va lue by his own acceptance. As these bills became due, and without funds to meet them, his affairs fell into still greater entanglement—another and another was fabricated to take up the former ; this system could not endure fur ever, and by that sort of progression in error (of which there are but too many instances) he ultimately became a forge r ! With the desperation of a ruined man he connected himself with others whose fortunes were as desperate as his own. The names of some of those individuals we are in. possession of, but pending any investigatiOn which may_ we had almost said meat take place, it would not be pro per to publish them at present. They consi,t, however, of broken-down tradesmen and ci-dcvant pawUrolsers. Throu . gh this medium, .forged and fabricated bills were put forth to the amount of. not less than 30,000/., and we know • that there is, in more than one Solicitoi's (Ace, paper if no better value to a considerable extent, in course'of re covert', which must now be altogether hopeless. The Rev.. Gentleman is now in custody in a - lockup Sunday Times., NAVAL IN TELLICIENCE. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) D E VON PORT, MARCH 30.—The Antelope (tender to the Ramifies), Lieut.

PORISMOUTII, Marton 29.—The Arab transport, .T. llyett, agent, ed on Monday, from Falmouth, Ja .mtica ; :eft that port on the 4th February, and brought home invalids and a few passengers. The last season had been veay sickly in that colony, and the mortality among ills troops unusually great; nearly 700 soldiers and 0 1 officers; including five of the medical staff, having fallen victims to the fever. Those who escaped front the yellow ti.ver, were visited with a rheumatic one, which the iuha bitants denominate the "broke wing, and which indicates that the contagious fever has ceased ; with this, the Ad miral and General had been partially afflicted. it ;„ satisfaction, however, to learn, that te; the departure of the Arab, health was restored to all the Europeans. The Sneer crop had commenced, and a luxuriant harvest was anticipated ; but the Coffee plantations yielded very short of their usual supply. The merchants of Jamaica, at their meeting on the 23d Jannary, determined that the freight of Sugar to England s hould be reduced front ss. 611. to Ss. 'rhe only nom-of -war of the squadron which had suffered from fever was the Magnificent, and her crew was fast re covering, having been sent to the Key, off Port Royal, for (dotage of air. The passengers in. the Arab are, Lieu tenants Gurley, Dickenson, and Burnet, of the Navy ; - Captain Alexander, 84th Regiment ; Lieut. Carlisle, 91st 2legimeut, and Assietant-Surgeon Wilson, R.N. ' The squadron in the West Indies was disposed as fol lows t—Barham; at Turk's Island ; Magnificent, Druid, Valorous, Scylla (first for England), Union, and Nimble, at Port Royal ; Bustard, at Chagres: Espiegle, at Caren. ;vita ; Ferret and Pickle, cruising ; Harlequin, at Port au-Prince ; Victor, at the Pahatnaa. The Nimble was repairing damages which she had received in a severe action with a slave brig of 14 guns, off the Bahama Bank. At lie Leeward Islands there were the Aurora, Slaney, Arachne, Fairy, Skipjack, and Monkey. The Cordelia and Britotnart sloops of war, of 10 guns c‘ach, have been sent to Oporto, to lie there for the better protection of the British interests and property, during .the present disturbed state of that country ; the first men tioned vessels passed the Isle of Wight from Sheerness, on Tuesday last, and the latter had sailed on Saturday, from Plymouth. The Kangaroo surveying vessel, commanded by Mr. De Mayne, arrived on Torsaay from the 'River, and will sail in a few days for Jamaica. This Officer is entrusted with the important duty of completing his valuable surveys of the Florida Keys. Letters have been received from the Coast of Africa, which state that the Onyx, of 10 guns, Lieutenant Cole, arrived at St. Mary's, in the river Gambia, on the llth Feb. last. That settlement had severely suffered flora the pestilence of the climate. The Onyx was to run down the coast, and would. probably be employed in removing the black troops front Cape Coast to' Sierra Leone. All the squadron was with the. Commodore in the Bight of Behin ; the Sybille, since the arrival on that station, had been very successful in the re-capture of slaVes, baying sent into Sierra Leone 813 slaves; her tender, thelllack Joke; - a very tine brig, commanded by Lieut.

A dinner was given on Monday, the 24th instant, to our amiable and respected late Lieutenant-Governor, by the Officers of Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, and of the Line, composing this garrison and its dependencies. Every Officer off duty, Vionging to the different brancl►es of the service alluded to, attended upon this occasion, as well as Colonel :Sir, Rich. Williams, commanding the Portsmouth division of Ro; al Marines. Upwards of eighty individuals (1, , .vn to a sumptuous entertainment, prov►ded by Mr. Mat, at the Green Row Rooms. After his Majesty's health and the usual toasts had been given, that of Ma jor-General Sir James Lyon was proposed by the Chair man (Colonel Phillott, of the Royal Artillery), and received and drunk with the most enthusiastic applause. When the sensation produced by this toast had in some degree subsided, Sir James Lyon expressed himself in the follow ing terms:— " Gentlemen—No words in my power to utter, can adequately convey to you the feelings with which I ant now oppressed, and I must entreat of you not to judge of their strength by the weakness of the expressions I may ,use. This is, perhaps, the proudest, the happiest hour of my life, since it bestows on me one of the most gratifying rewards a soldier can receive—the distinguished and ho nourable test of your confidence and esteem. " Gentlemen, I return you my most sincere and fervent thanks, and I anxiously wish you to believe, that wherever fate, or the chances of the service may hereafter call me, I shall never cease to cherish in my remembrance the honour you have done me. " May these chances, Gentlemen, occasion us to meet again; may tkey, at some future period, lead me to the field, to share your dangers and your fame, and enable me to evince.to you that I am not altogether unworthy of the heartfelt, mark of your regard and consideration this day conferred on me." We cannot attempt to do justice to the feeling and ener getic Manner in which this speech wan delivered, nor to the deep impression which it made upon every individual in-the roan ; neither will our limits permit us to detail all the occurrences of the evening. We must, however, add, that.the whole of the proceenings.on this interesting occa sion, were conducted in a manner to reflect equal honour on the assembled officers and upon trOeir distinguished guest; nor was there an officer present who did not appear to be actuated by the same feeling—namely, an earnest and praiseworthy anxiety to express the sincerity of the esteem with which Sir Jameslyon's conduct, whilst filling the situation of Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, had im pressed them, and to evince, in the strongest and most un qualified manner, the . heartfelt and deep regret his rem - loyal horn amongst them had given rise to, although that re moval had been occasioned by his appointment to an portant command, conferred on him in the most gratifying and flattering manner. • Major-General Sir Colin Campbell, - ,E.C.13. is to sue- Jcee4 to the command of the South West District, and to the Lieutenant-Governorship of this Garrison ; Sir Colin is to he succeeded in his government at Tobago, by Major - General Military od oes.

After a few private Bills of no particular moment had been disposed of, The. Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose and said, that seeing a Noble Lord (Dudley) i n hi s . dace, be would take' that opportunity of proposing to his Majesty's Ministers a plan whereby t h e public schools, of surgery might be abundantly and satis factofllyiiceemmodated with subjects for anatomical experiment. The plan which he had the honour tc propose, , and which he could assure their Lordships was the result of long and serious reflection, Aim sessedilie joint recommendations of-a beneficent hu manity, an unquestionably good taste, and a sound and enlightened policy. It was to the following effect : —As the Cabal of the Ultra Tories were now no Lordships---would longer of service to the community ; as, moreover, its members were many of them far advanced in that particular period of life which Cicero defined as the ne plus ultra of human wretchedness ; he (the M arqu i s o f L ans d owne ) --deferring at tha same time to the better judgment of their Ps—would respectfully beg leave to propose that an accurate Census of that Cabal be presented at stated intervals to the House, k ik order that so fast as each member died off, his laWmight he sold to the parish hospitals, and the proceeds he devoted to the endowment of a new anatomical Professorship at that fountain head of enlightened policv,and - religious toleration, the University of Oxford. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) He confined his proposal to the Ultra Tones, because as the members of that Cabal invariably died, in what is called, good condi tion, they would do infinitely' greater credit to the scalping-knife, that' if selected indiscriminately from among the poorer and. less patriotic classes of society. Should, however, the demand leseveobjects exceed the supply, his Lordship in that;,would suggest that the senior members of the CiliaT be put to death from time to time, quietly, decorously, and i. thelloonrNtA‘th, ftotroert unworthy with as little inconvenience as possible to their nervous system. With respect to nbjection on the part of the Ultra Tories to this arrauge- ~;; uncut lie could not conceive it possible-. they could start any ; indeed, when he came. seriously to re flect on their stern, unflinching patriotism— s theis generous disregard of self in every instance where , i nccures were concerned—their superioritylto vulgar prejudice—and, above all, their deep-rooted, cordial, and affectionate sympathy with the rising intalli ttence ss!; of the people,—when he (die ValiMarquis) reflected on these several characteristic traits of Ultra Toryism, he really could not. conceive it pos sible that they would start even the shadow of an • objection. He should not now detain the House (which he was glad to find went with him) further than to propose that a Committee—to be etdi,al Cis Resurrection . Comtnitteehe fsrthsvitlisappeints , i, • fur the express purpose of acting that the diifeteli , public and private hospitals be periodically prsvideu \with a sufficient and liberal abundance of Ultres Tory subjects.—(Loud cheers.) Lord KING begged leave to propose all'arnentl ment to the Noble Lord's motion. He had lathy had the honour ofrininterview with Mr. Absrliello- - , who had assured him with all the courteous rope:silty of mariner for which that eminent surgeontwas so conspicuous, that. the best subjects .for dissectiOn ' were invariably those who were expressly despatched for the purpose ; for . that the tendency of natural death was to dry up and confound the distiiAczions between . the muscular and nervous system, and thereby neutralize . the most elaborate efforts of the anatomist. Coineidingin this view of the question, he (Lord 'King) should move by way of amend nient—and in doing so, he solemnly declared that lie was influenced by no feelings of party spirit, or private spleen—that a select few of the senior Ultra Tories be instantly handed over alive to the hospitals, and that the - very first subject for such - anatoinicais• experiment be the venerable and . intelligent Earl of Eldon.—(Loud' cheers.) - - A NOBLE LORD, whose name we could not learn, was happy:. in thii opportunity of paying his tliblite of. respect to the venerable. Ex-chancellor, by ,cordially seconding the motion for his martyrdom. Lord LIMERICK_ was . not partiehlar as to who • should be-the first subject for experiment (providing that it was not himself), but thought that the Eati of Eldon could net in common decency oppose so harmless an experiment. If, after having been duly anatomized, he should think fit to disapprove the operation, it would then surely be tinSs enough to say so.—(Loud laughter.) The Earl of ELDON here rose, evi'dently much effected. He was grateful for the honour deny him by the amendment of the Nobl:2 Lord (King),- but felt serious doubts as to its propriety. It was on r p i t o ib u li f c o g r ro as un a d p s o , o h r os a v i elr p , ri t , h a a t t e l i i r e o s il t , ! ,: rLc: ii d i, tl b li e s s o .. b o j , t i c .i • must cheerfully sacrifice his interests (as he trustej he had invariably shown) to the welfare of both Church and State. But a far more illustrious statea titan than himself, the Marquisof Londonderry ( - ..hoc„ he was glad to see in his place) yet lived to adorn the House by his presence and electrify it by his eloquence, and so long as that was the case, so long should he (Lord Eldon) refuse to accept the flatter lug precedency implied by the Noble Lord (King's) amendment. He.should therefore propose that in stead of " Lord Eldon" the words " Lord London sleery" be substituted as the first subject for anatomi cal experiment.--(Loud and repeated cheers.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thanked the Noble Earl for his considerate courtesy, but begged to decline the honour in favour of his respected friend tlie.Earl of Westinoreland.—(At this period of the debate the Noble Marquis made a precipitate retreat from the House, and has, since ' retired to the conti nent, apprehensive, as we have been given to under stand, of the result of so interesting a discussion.)
