The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Tan till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the Complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " esual Consulta tion Fee of U.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; anrk in all cases, the most invi,:table secrecy may be relied an. SIGHT AND HEARING. 32, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, ( Opposite the York Hotel), and KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND. THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOf .OMONS, OPTICIANS and A URISTSto the ROYAL F \MILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-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 pe.blie.assembly is heard with distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are :laced 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 5.% ith 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 iwn to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber,' and calling them " Paten- Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than those of amber ; the histoi y and destructive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientihc authority; From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D., F.R S., Sze, &c. " Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which :nfluence 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; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great dangerby handling such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take tile, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with game." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Herns, 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 ones dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and rietural state. These Spectacles, and very small Voice Cond'actors for deaf persons, are r.ly to be nail at their establiskments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the York Hotel), anr!,, 76, King William-street, Bank. ro SHIPP2IS, OWNIRs, CAPTAINS, and OTHERS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 5. Their Lordships met at Five o'Cloitk. A mes!eagar tram the Housp of Commons brought up the Houghing of Cattle (Ireland) Bill, the Durham RAilway Bill, and the Manchester and Salford Water works Bill. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY brought in a to amend the Ecclesiastical Reienues Bill, which was reed a first time. On the motion of the MarqUis of NORMANBY the Commons' amendments to the Roughing of Cattle (1ri.14r41) Bill were agreA to, and the Bill was read a third time. The Earl of ROSE . BERY presented a petition from Honiton in farour of the Jaws' Declaration Bill. Lord STRAFFORD presented petitions from Denegal and other places in Ireland against Church patronage in Scotland. The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented 112 petitions from places in Scotland for the abolition of lay patronage in the Church of Scotland. As a Presbyterian, he felt it his duty, in presenting those petitions, to express his entire) concurrence in the prayer. He contended that the 'present state of the law was not only . unsatisfactory to, the people of Scot land, .but inconsistent with th e faidarneatal principles of their Church, which required that no minister should ie appointed to a parish contrary leo the wishes of the people. The Bill of his Noble 'friend (the Earl of Aberdeen), who was too good a Preibyterian to propose any thing which he did not think advantageous to the. Church—had been far from //allaying the discons tentment of the people upon this +estion. Its effects would be to place the Church e urseiste the chariot wheels of the civil power. The Noble IM2rquis referred to the opinions of Lords Monboddo and Kaimes, in order to show that, in spiritu-al matters, the Church was all powerful. He entreated the House to take the subject Imo its most serious consideration, bearing in mind that 'h e Non-intrusion p r i nc ipl e was th e fundamental prin ciple of the Church of Scotland. The people of Scot e.sod took the liveliest interest in the preseat ques e so, and greatly as they valued the privileges conferred ey the Reform Bill, they valued their spiritual privileges stsil more li;gli!y, than any political rights that had been conferred upon them. The Earl of ABERDEEN wished to know whether the petitioners were in favour of non-intrusion, or the abolition of patronage ; and also whether he sup pu rre 1 the abolition of Church patronage or not? The Marquis of IMEADALBANE said the people o! Scotland were deeply interested in the question, but they, he had reason to believe, would be satisfied with a much less stringent measure than the abolition of Church patronage. With respect to his own opinions ho was in favour of a veto, with such modifications as would prevent intrusion. The petitions were then laid on the table. The Population Bill was read a third time and passed. The Chelsea Poor Bill was read a second time. The Eari of MOU NTCASHEL presented several petitions from Presbyterian bodies in Ireland against Church Intrusion in Scotland. The NOBLE EARL then moved for a return of the number of workhouses contracted for by the Poor. la.v Commissioners in Ireland, the unions in which they ware to be erected, the sum which it would cost for the completion of each contract, the quantity of land attached to each, and the number of paupers which each would accommodate.—Ordered. The Earl of FALMOUTH gave notice that early after the holidays he would present a petition from from inhabitants of Cornwall respecting the removal of the packets from Falmouth to Dartmouth. Lord FITZGERALD presented a petition from Westminster for the abolition of tolls on the metropo litan bridges. The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE laid on the table returns relating to the population and commerce of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies. The NOBLE MARQUIS gave notice, that after Easter he would move that the state of the law respect n; promissory notes should be referred to a Select Cam mittee.—( Hear, hear.) STATE OF CRIME IN IRELAND. The Earl of CHARLEVILLE rose to move for a copy of the criminal calendar, at the Lent Assizes, 1841, in the King's County, and a copy of the rule of the Court thereon. He felt great reluctance in making this motion, but his duty to the loyal part of the population of Irelaad required him to call the atten tion of the House to this subject. and to take this occa sion of pointing to the consequences of the course which the Government had of late pursued in Ireland, in not exercising the prerogative of the Crown in setting aside improper persons upon the list of Jurors. In the King's C runty crime had greatly increased of late years. Several murders had been committed, and many attempts at murder in the open air, and in the pre sence of many of the people, who refused to give any assistance to prevent the crime, or to arrest the perpe trators, and the large rewards that had been offered in the unfortunate cases of Lord Norbury and Mr. Frazer had failed to Obtain any information as to the offenders. The Noble Earl read extracts from correspondence between the Magistrates of that county and the Executive on the subject of these murders, and the extraordinary sympathy with the mur deters evinced by the people. In the case of Colgan and Dogherty, who were tried for attempting to murder Mr. Biddulph, the sheriff gavcin a panel of fifty names. Eleven of the persons on the list were absent, twenty-seven were chellenseed by the prisoners, and the remaining twelve were sworn as a jury. He must here admit that up to this time the Executive had done everything to .assist the Magistrates, and deserved their thanks. But if ever there was a thee when the Government ought to have taken the greatest prec a utions to prevent im -1 proper persons being put upon the jury, the period he elluded to was that time. No doubt the Noble Marquis ( Normanby) would call this an agrarian outrage— , s he termed every other atrocious outrage ; but the Noble Marquis could not peed ignorance of the character of the persons who were placed upon that Jury. The names of the persons most known in the county as con nected wish the Ribbon Society had beep privately com municated to the Govcrnment 'before the trial, and not withstanding that knowledge, three of those persons, who might have been challenged and set aside by the Crown, Were allowed to he sworn on the Jury.—( Hear, hear.) The consequence via', that notwithstanding the eviderce, the Jury could not agree to a verdict, and the prisoners were discharged. So in the case of the murder of Mr. Bre ) le i eleven of the Jury were ag reed upon the verdict of guilty, but thfi twelfth man stood out, having been known to declare before he went into the, box that no evidence would induce him to find Collins guilty, The Jury was discharged, and the prisoner escaped from punishment. On this occasion also the Government might have elm , j cited the privilege, and prevented so improper a person from being sworn. There were several other cases of a sireiler nature, in which justice had been defeated by the determination of the Government to abstain from chal lenging en the part of the Crown. By this conduct they discouraged gentlemen from risking their lives for the purpose of bringing assassins to justice. The Noble Earl then read extracts from a placard, posted on the walls of a chapel, and bearing the signatures of eight of the jurors who sat upon the trial of Colgan and Do. betty, repudiating, in very strong language, the impute tions that had been cast on them for nut finding those per sons guilty. He called on the House to observe the accu sations which these persons insinuated against the Solici tor-General and their brother jurors of thirsting for the blood of Irishmen. What he had to complain of was, that the Executive did not support the Migistrates in their exertions to vindicate the laws. He concluded by moving for the returns. The Marquis of NORMANBY gild that there were generally two grounds taken for refusing the production of papers ; first, that such productlert might be detrimental to the public service i and, secondly, that It was not in the province of the House to investigate the subleet, He but he wished the Noble Lord should not resist the mo tion on either of these g rounds, if the r Nob li l m e d fore bringing forw ard the motion. Their Lordshi p s Lordgiven et sihotuhled p s rt u , b s je i c tt; more consideration be should recollect that, by this motion, they were called upon to prejudge criminal cases which would be tried at the next assizes, The Noble Lord had omitted to state that when the Jury was empanelled the list was read over name by name to Mr. Biddulph himself, wi) had stated that a more fair Jury could not be empanelled. Much of the Noble Lord's information was derived from sources on which he could not place reliance. There were 123 names called ova r, and Mr. Bildulph stated that if 50 of these were struck out there would be a sufficient number left to form an independent Jury. Mr. Btddulph only objected to one, and the only reason he could give for his objection was, that be did not like the man. He (Lord N.) was sure that no man would do his duty more impartially than Mr, mole,' and among the most [leasing recollections of his Government of lrelaad was the fact. that Mr. Moore had said that he eas convieced that the then mode of conducting the government of Ireland was a pr o per one , and that notwithstanding his previous connections he should give the Government his support. In the Noble Lord's lett , e. to Lord Ebrington it was stated that among that Jury was a person who was master ins Ribbon Scie . y—that was also stated in a Dublin pap, and the name of the Juror was teen stated to be Egan. Now there was no person of that name on the Jury. The Crown Solicitor stated that never had a Jury been formed more in accordance with the directions of the Attorney-General, or more approved of by the prosecutor himself. Mr. Biddulph stated his opinion that it was a very fair Jury. It would bay been useful if the Noble Lord had followed the example of the Crown Solicitor, and abstainel from giving any opinion as to the guilt of the pr isoners. With r egard to the case of the murder of Hughes- at Armagh, and trial of Mr. Gray at Baltiby, he had information from thel Crown solicitor tha' the same course was pursued at Are re ;,;:', a , il ,, i I.ypn pariait,ii at ivionagbac, There were five persons from Baltiby, and_who .had been pat aside by the Crown Solicitor, because they had been ob- jected to by Mr. Gray on a previous occasion. Mr. Samuel Gray was rather a well-known character to their Loidshipi. There were four other Jurors set aside be cause they were known boon companions of Mr. Gray. In the Noble Lord's last letter to Lord Ehrington he designated the trial as a solemn mockery cf justice. Now be must say he thouglit the Noble Earl was not justified in making' use of such an expression. The charge brought by the Noble Earl was that the Jury, /eh) had not re tnrnei a verdict, had defeated the ends of justice. Now he thought it but justice to state, that the Jury was ap proved of by the prosecutor, and it was admitted that the evidence brought before them justified a difference of opinion. There was a further passage of the letter, in which the Noble Earl said, that in authorizing the prosecution of those attacking Mr. Biddulph, the conduct of Lord Ebrington contrasted most favour ably with that of himself (the Marquis of Normanby) in the vise of the murder of Lord Nerbury. Now be should have recollected the exertions he had made at that time, and the answer he had given to the Noble Earl in that H :use. The Noble Eatl had had a Committee of that House sitting for three months to investigate the state of crime in Ireland. He had had an opportunity of fully investigating the subject, and only once incidentally had that case been alluded to before the Committee. Now after that the Noble Earl was not justified in making such insinuations against him, when, having had every opportu nity of brirging forward his case, he had not thought pro per to do so. The Noble Earl on that occasion had relied on the information of a person whose testimony was not worthy of credit, and who had deceived the Noble Lori, a; the Noble Earl himself had since discovered. The Noble Earl had alluded to a case at Longford, in which Mr. Fox, the sheriff, bad selected a Jury of " strong men." Why, the meaning of strong men was, that they were strong party men, and their Lordships would not be surprised to learn that they had come to a different con clusion from a previous Jury. He admitted that the prin ciple of setting persons aside by the Crown on account of their religious opinions, originated during his (the Mar quis of Normanby's) administration. That had been done with the approval of Sir Michael O'Logblin, the then Attorney-General ; and he contended that it was the sound and proper principle upon which Juries ought to be selected. %Veen the law no longer made any distinction between Catholics and Protestants, he did not think it judicious to keep up these distinctions in the Jury box. Ho regretted that so much intemperance of language had been used toward; the members of that religion and their pastors, by persons whose rank and station ought to have taught them better. When it was said that the Catholics of Ireland were worse than Turks or Hindooa, he was not surprised that there should be dissension and excitement still kept up. He believed the people of Ireland were easily led by kindness and conciliation, but they would not be coerced or dragged by the chains of despotism or tyranny. He trusted their Lordships would not sanction the proiuc'ion of those papers under the present circum stances, and while these men were still untried; and he hoped the Noble Earl would see the propriety of aid:- drawing his motion. Their Lordships would be gratified to learn, notwithstanding the statements of the Noble Earl, that crimes of a serious nature were considerably reduced in number, and that the tranquillity of the country was much increased. The Earl of GLENG ALL was ready to admit that, owing to the efficiency of the police, there had been some diminution of crime. He regretted to say, however, that crime was not punished to the extent it ought to be, so as to operate as a warning to others. There was the greatest difficulty in procuring witnesses to give evidence or Juries to find verdicts, and out of 1,446 rewards bored by the Government and the police for se rious offences since 1827, only forty-seven had been claimed, showing a very large amount of crime still unpunished and undiscovered. If the system was adopted of sending the Crown ecliciter down to the assizes two or three weeks before they commenced, it would prevent im proper persons getting upon the Jury, which frequently arose from the kcal ignorance of the Crown solicitor and the parties acting on behalf of the prosecution. The Marquis of NO RM ANBY begged, in addition, to read the letter which the Lord Lieatenant addressed to the Noble Earl on the subject of the trial of the men for the attempted murder of Mr. Biddulph: The letter stated that the inquiries the Lord Lieutenant had made from the Crown solicitor and other parties, had enabled him to ascertain that the Jury in that case had been fairly and impartially selected,—that the prosecutor had expressed his satisfaction as to the persons of whom it was composed —and that he did not think there was- any reason to sup pose that any person connected with the ribbon syste.n had been upon the Jury. The Earl of CHA RL EVILLE replied. With regard to the correspondence that had taken place between him self ann the Lord Lieutenant he had certainly looked upon it as. in some respects, private and confidential, and had not felt himself justified in referring to it. The Noble Marquis had complained that the Earl of Rosse and himself had been in the habit of referring, in very improper terms, to the conduct of the Roman Catholic clergy, but ho cer tainly denied that he had ever so expressed himself of that body. With respect to the case of Mr. Biddulph, after the communications he had made to theGovernmen the was surprised to see the names of persons returned whom be had represented, from his knowledge of the county, to be unfit. In consequence of the Noble Marquis having de clared that he old cautioned his Noble Friend ( Lord Ebrington) to look watchfully to his (Lord Charlevi'le's) conduct in the county, he made up his mind that he would not interfere ie any case in which he could not be certain that be would have the support of the Government in the execution of his duty as a person bearing her Majesty's Commission of the Peace. But, notwithstanding that determination, he did everything in his power to assist the Government in dis covering the persons concerned in the attempt to murder Mr. Biddulph. The conduct of which he complained was the improper, unjust, and unconstitutional interference to which he was subjected, when, in conjunction with other Magistrates, he committed a man to prison upon a charge of robbery and attempt to murder. The officers sent down by the Government liberated the man, without ilea': ing the evidence upon which he had been committed. That conduct gave rise to a feeling that the Government were nut disposed to support the Magistrates in the pro tection of property and the punishment of mime. The communications made by him to the Irish Government were of a confidential nature, and he had not expected that use to be made of them which it had pleased the NAlc Mai qui; to make ; and he thought that the N ,ble Marquis bad :received communications from Catholic gentlemen which might have prevented him (the Marquis of Norman be) from noleing him mp as a firebrand in his own county. He lived in peace and kindness with the people on big own property, and he defied the Noble Marquis to state a single instance in which he had behaved unkindly to a single in dividual, because that individual was a Roman Catholic. He thought it right to vindicate his Noble Friend the Earl of Rosse from the attacks of the Noble Marquis. On the occasion of the attempt to murder Mr. Sim, an amiable, but eccentric gentleman, who divided bis property with all who chose to come and live in a community which he had farmed, the Earl of Rosse, being Lord Lieutenant of the county, stated in a letter to that gentleman, that there could be no doubt that the many attempt; upon that gentleman's life were occasioned by a supposition that his proceedings were likely to draw proselytes from the Romish Church, and that it was an opinion amongst Roman Catholics that murder in such a case was not a crime. It was true that on the Sunday following the Roman Catholic priest did from the altar address his congregati in to in culcate a very opposite doctrine, namely, that every person who concealed from the Government any information cal culated to bring a murderer to justice, was as guilty of the crime as the actual perpetrator. But there had been much to justify the opinion of his Noble Friend, and the attacks made by the Noble Marquis were totally unwarranted. The Noble Marquis had boasted of the increase of crime in Ireland; but he would refer him to the numerous meet iega of Magistrates which had recently taken place, et one of which it was shown that twenty-six crimes which occurred in one night wore set down in the returns as one. After a few words from the Marquis NORM ANB Y, the motion was withdrawn. Their Lordships then adjourned at a Quarter to Nine o'Clock. ROUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 5. Toe SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'C'ock. Mr. Campbell, from the East India House, presented an account of the compensation given to the retired officers of the Company.

"DIY DEAR SIR—I am deputed by the Ladies and Gentle.. men, the Band, and all the persons Composing this establish ment, to present you with this Cup as a mark of their affection and esteem. 1•could have wished, Sir, that this very pleasing and flaltering task had been assigned to far abler hands, for, however accustomed I may be to public speaking, I am not at all au fait in this—it is my first appearance in a part of the kind. I have received it at a very short notice, and have had no time for preparation. In trying to do my best, I must, as useal, therefore beg your indulgence. This cup, Sir, is presented to you by every individual un der your management, and none have subscribed less than one night's salary, some much more ; and the alacrity with which this has been done is the very best proof of their esteem, respect, and gratitude. The latter expression may perhaps be considered as too strong between manag.er and actor, as Ihave ever considered the obligation reciprocal • but, in these days o precarious and uncertain theatrical employment, where com p/lies are got together one week to be dispersed the next, — where salaries are too often not paid after the first five or six nights,—l say, Sir, that an individual who, like yourself, has punctually performed your obligations to those around you, — who has for years not only paid salaries in health, but also in sickness,—l do say, Sir, that such a man is not only worthy our esteem and respect, but, in a great degree, our gratitude. " From the very many years that I have had the pleasure of enjoying your acquaintance and friendship, I can perhaps speak better than any other of your conduct both as an actor and a manager—as an actor we have laboured together in the ' same theatre for a considerable period, and I do, and must sa, that a more kind-hearted, mere liberal, or amiab!e brother performer, I have never met with in the whole course of my theatrical career—as a manager, our dealings have been ex tensive, often on slight verbal arrangement, without even a witness or document, and they have always been fulfilled with integrity and honour. "It now, my dear Sir, only remains for me to express our sincere and heartfelt regret at the cause which obliges you to withdraw from us, and we most fervently hope that you will soon return with renovated health and strength. We wi,h, in presenting this cup, we could fill it with some healing draught that would put you in possession of that inestimable ilessin2 . — of one thing be assured, Sir, that it is jibed to overflowing with the best wishes of every man, woman, and child of this esta blishment, and, as such, Sir, wishing yog many years of reno vated health and happiness, I most respectfully present it to you. THE PRESIDENT STE t3l-SHIP. The non-arrival of this vessel, which left New York the 11 th ult., with twenty-five passengers and some freight, begins to excite serious apprehensions for her fate. These apprehensions arise from the fasts that not less than three sailing vessels, which 1. ft that city after her, have arrived, and that two of them encoun tered severe storms. The first vessel was the Orpheus, Capt. Cole, which sailed on the 1 1 th, two hours after the President, and which encountered, on the 12th and lath, a storm from the north-east during which she was hove-to. On the 14th the storm abated and the wind chopped round to the southward, tie rtiyal mail steal/wit Columbia, which had arrived at Halifax, en countered the same storm, and lost foresail, jibboom, and one of her quarter boats. Now three cannot be a douht, that the President was caught in the same storm, although, from her steam-power she would be much nearer the banks of Newfoundland than the Orpheus. She was very deep, drawing, when she left New York, not .ess than 18 fret. Supposing that she was not, during the storm, damaged either in her hull, rigging, or machinery, at least not seriously : if she put back to New York, she would, we think, reach that port before the evening of the 19th ult., but we know that she had not reached i t up to that time ; if, her fuel being exhausted, she were working her way to the eastward, under zanvass, she ought, seeing the quick passages made by theVirgilian and the North America, to have m...de her appearance off the coact Ling before now : but, if she bad to run to the southward, and had made for the Western Isles, for the purpose of replenishing her coal, she is not yet due; she Liverpool, steam ship, when in the winter of 1539 compelled to run to the same islands, to replenish her coal, having been 27 days on the passage from New York to Liverpool, via Fayat. The prevalent opinion is, that the President must have run to the Western Isles, anti that she may to expected to arrive in a few days. Indeed, there was yesterday a rumour afloat that the Lynx, which had arrived, in the morning, in seven dais from St. Michael's, had seen the steamer making for Fayal ; but subsequent inquiry satis fied us that the rumour was an idle one.—Liverpool Albion THE WEATHER.

But he certainly did, at the same time, give his opinion on this case, that if it should be found that there was no violation of the Standing Orders in permit ting the course which these parties wished to adopt, he saw nothing in the Bill itself to make that course objec tionable. But he most distinctly said that it would be a most improper thing in him to give an opinion in fa vour of departing from the Standing Orders—(Hear) —and so far from supporting any such departure, he would decidedly oppose it. He was not opposed t 6 the application on the part of the Company, if it could be complied with without violating the Standing Orders. Mr. BERNAL thought the House should take the question of the St snding Orders into their considera tion and make some alterations in them before they could entertain a motion like the present. He would express no opinion upon the case trefoi; the House. Sir R. INGLIS thought the Company, when they came before the House to raise an additional sum of money, should comply with the regulation which re quired them in the first instance to advance from their own funds 10 per cent. of the amount required. Mr. HUME said one of the p eat evils of the rail way system was the fallacious estimates on which they were originally based.—(Hear, hear.) He would merely instance the case of the Great Western Rail way, which had been compelled to come three times before the House in order to raise further sums of money in consequence of their estimate being so much below the expenditure. He objected CO the House giving these Companies any farther facilities in the borrowing of additional capital. Mr. SHIEL thought that if the words " to dispense with the Standing Orders" were struck out, and it were left to the Committee to construe them, the difficulty would be removed. After a few words from the SPEAKER, which were inaudible in the gallery, the motion was withdrawn. Sir J. Y. BULLER brought up the Report of the Committee on the Eastern Counties Railway Bill. Mr. MARTIN presented a petition from Lancaster against the Poor-law Bill. Mr. WARBURTON presented a petition from Brid port in favour of the Mcdical Reform Bill. Also a peti tion praying that the judgment on Mr. Hetherington might be remitted. Sir J. Y. BULLER presented petitions from Sid mcuth and other places, praying for Church Extension ; also petitions praying for the exemption of workhouses from Parliamentary and (Aber taxes ; also a petition from Torbay, praying that the packet station might not be removed from Falmouth. Sir IL INGLIS presented petitions from the counties of Salop, Somerset, York, Durham, Lancaster, Nottingham, Suffolk, Sutherland, and Stafford, praying for Church Extension ; also a petition from the inha bitants of St. Martin's-lane, praying for the abolition of tolls upon the metropolitan bridge!. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD presented a petition from Birmingham, praying for the removal of taxes from articles of necessary consumption. Also, a petition from a borough in Scotland, praying for the Extension of the Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and Annual Parlia ments. Sir DE LACY EVANS presented a petition from Westminster, praying for a better qualification for me dical practitioners. Mr. H. BERKELEY presented a petition from certain rate-payers of Bristol, praying that the Poor law may not pass the House until the People's Charter has been made the common law of the land. Lord MELGUND presented a pet tion from Nor folk, praying that no farther grant might be made to the College of Maynooth ; also from Montrose, praying for the abolition of Church patronage. General LYGON presented a petition from Worces ter, and another from Gloucester, praying for further Church accommodation. . . . Mr. A. WHITE presentei a petition against the Poor-law Bell. Mr. MU NTZ presented a petition from the inhabit ants of St. George's-toad, Lambeth, praying for the ex tinction of the tolls on the metropolitan bridges. Lord HOTHAM presented a petition from L-o -minster, praying for the repeat of the Raman Catholic Relief Bill. _ _ Lord ELIOT presented a petition from the paro chial Clergy of Hoy, in Corn all, praying for t'ae revision of the tithe system. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Lambeth, praying for the remission of the seatenee upon Mr. Hetherington. Mr. FOX MAULE presented eleven petitions from different parts of Scotland, praying for the total abolition of Church patronage in that country. Mr. MORRIS presented .a pettion from Carmar then, in favour of Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration Bill. Mr. S. O'BRIEN presented similar petitions from several places in Ireland. Mr. THORNHILL presented a petition from the Mexican and South American Association at Liver pool, complaining of the high rate of duty upon toffee. Lord CASTLEREAGH presented a petition from the County of Down, Ireland, against Church patronage in Scotland. Sir W. SOMERVILLE presented a petition in favour of the 81l before the House for Medical Reform. Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition against the Poor-law Commission and the Poor-laws, in which the petitioners stated that the people had a right to maintenance, and that, in their opinion, if they were unable to obtain it, their allegiance to the Crown was forfeited. RAJAH OF SATTARAH. Mr. HUME inquired of the Speaker if he could, to-morrow, present a petition from the Rajah of Sattarah, who had been deposed by the East India Company, and was now a prisoner at Benares. The Hon. Gent. st tted the petition was in the Mahratta language, but that he would endeavour to procure a literal translation. He remembered the Right lion. Member for Tamworth having presented a petition from a native chief of Africa some years ago. The SPEAKER said the Hon. Gentleman was at liberty to present the petition, provided he confined himself to stating the substance of it. Mr. HUME then said that he would present the petition to-morrow. WAGES OF LABOUR. Sir W. MO LES WORTH gave notice that shortly after Ester he should move for the appointment of a Committee inquiring into the wages of labour. On the motion of Mr. BLACKSTONE the minutes of evidence taken before the St. Alban's, Walsall, and Canterbury Election Committees were ordered to be printed. On the motion of Mr. HERRIES, an account was ordered of the sums expended by the East India Com pany in the expedition against China, which were to be repaid by her Majesty's Government. Lord TEIGNMOUTH wished to put a question to the Noble Lord the Secretary of State for the Colonies, relative to the appointment by the Crown of a Church Warden of the parish of Marylebone, and also as to the course which it was the inten tion of her Majesty's Government to pursue in regard to a Bill that was pending for the regulation of the ecclesiastical affairs of the parish. Lord J. RUSSELL said that Churchwardens had been appointed by the Crown, and the Commissioners of Woods had recommended that measures should be taken to indemnify them either for the expenses of pursuing the remedy pointed out by the 56th Geo. 111. c. 57, or by such other modes as the Law Officers of the Crown should think proper. With resprct to the Bill the Noble Lord had adverted to, it was the intention of the Government to introduce such a Bill in the present Session ; but Lord Duncannon had thought it desirable to obtain the consent of the vestrymen as much as possible to the Bill, since it would have the effect of taking away from the parish of Marylebene that control in eccle siastical matters which it possessed by the Local Act. But the attempt to obtain the consent of the vestrymen and the parish generally had excited great discussion, and the Bill being, as the Noble Lord had stated, of the nature of a private Bill , he (Lord John Russell) was afraid that it was no l w t too late to proceed with it in the p resent Session. was, however, the intention of th e Government, in such m anner as they might be able, to p roceed with a. defini tive Bill on the subject. Sir BENJAMIN HALL said h e hoped that whatever Bill might be brought in, ample time w o uld be given for its consideration by th e vestrymen of the parish. Distresses had been put into the house of Lord Kenyon, and also of the other churchwarden. Colonel WOOD wished to know whether the in demnity would be enforced ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said proceedings would be taken under the advice of the Law Officers of the Crown, to indemnify the churchwardens. On the m otion of Mr. FOX MAULE, the further consideration of the Silk Factories Bill was postponed to the 22d of April. Mr. HUME begged to inquire when the Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the state of Children in the Factories would be laid on the table of the House? Mr. FOX MAULE said he hoped that by the middle of June the Commissioner; would be able to give in their separate Reports. It would be some time after that be h re the entire Report would be completed. On the motion of Mr. FOX MAULE the Lords' amendments to the Turnpike Roads Bill were agreed to. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Ad ministration of Justice Bill, No. 1, was read, for the purpose of its being postpor.ed to the 29th of April. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the House should go into Committee pro forma on the Poor-law Bill. Lord ELIOT said Cie Noble Lord having, con sented to the principle of the clauses 'which he had proposed, he wished to know whether the Noble Lcrd intended to introduce them into the Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL said they would more properly, with some other clause, come into a separate Bill. Mr. WAKLEY wished to take this opportunity to , bring before the notice of the House the dietary tablo in use in the City of London. It had been alleged in that House that the object of the Poor-law Amend ment Act was to provide for those who were destitute, to take care of the funds of the parties who paid the Poors'-rates, and to enforce a proper test of destitue tion. It had also been said that its object was to in troduce one uniform system throughout the kingdom. On Friday night it was alleged by an Hon. Member that the B;11 had ceased to be unpopular in the City of London ; but when that Hon. Member was asked if relief was withheld from the able-bodied in that City his answer was that lie believed no such order had beea issued. Such was the fact ; no such order had been issued in the City of London, and hence, with other ar rangements that had been carried into effect, the Poor law Bill in the City had ceased to be unpopular. Great complaints hide been made against the scanty nature of the dietaries in some of the unions. Now, he would ask, was destitution to be considered one thing in the City of London, and another thing in different parts of England ? He bad great complaints to make against the Poor-law Commissioners. and if the House did its duty, it would call the Poor-law Commissioners to the bar, and compel them to explain these dietaries. In many of the unions wider-gruel was the chief diet. Now, whet took place in the Kensington union? Why, last Christmas when the paupers were allowed something extra, the auditor of the Poor-law Commissioners dis allowed the expense, and the guardians were obliged to pay the amount out of their own pockets. In the City of London union the dietary table for male and fenaale adults was as follows :—On Sundays, for the men, seven ounces of bread, and a pint and a half of milk porridge for breakfast ; for dinner seven ounces of cooked meat, beef or mutton, with three quarters of a pound of vegetables, and one pint of beer, a thing entirely withhold and denied in the Poor-law Unions of the country. For supper seven ounces of bread, one ounce and a half of cheese, and a second pint of beer. The women have five ounces of bread, one pint of beer (this was in an union in which the order for withholding out-door relief had not been issued) and one ounce of butter for breakfast, six ounces of good meat for dinner, three- quarters of a pound of vegetables and one pint of beer,—and for supper five ounces of bread, one ounce of cheese, and one plat of Leer. It was unnecessary to trouble the House with all, but there was the same allowance on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Saturdays they were alioe ed fourteen ounces of suet pudding. Thus they had seen the adult men and women in this union had beer every day for (honer and supper. Did lie complain of it ? Did he say they ought not to have it? No such tiling. He believed it was a just and equitable scale. But why was it not allowed to the poor in the unions in the country ? The Noble Lord could not, perhaps, be expected to give a satisfactory explanation, but he thought the House should have the Commissioners at the bar to explain why such a difference was establiebed by the rules they issued. He now came to the notice respecting the sick and infirm, respecting whom it was provided that they should have such wine rind other rnecesraries, as the 1 medical attendant should direct.—( Hear, hear.) Lf Hon. Members cried " Hear, hear," with respect to London, wcuid they do so with respect to the country? I By these regulations, roast veal or pork was allowed at Easter und Whit Sunday, and roast beef and plum pudding at Christmas-day. Now this seemed framed by Englishmen, by men who did not. desire that poverty should be punished as a crime. He asked Gentlemen I who thought the scale he had just read was a just oee, why it should not be adopted elsewhere ? If particular spots were to be selected for the exercise of benevolence. he thought it should be in the country districts. This was a serious question, and one that ought non to be shirked by the House. If it were, it would not. be shirked by the country. He did not desire to charge the Commissioners with having acted in a manner that was dishonest, to obtain support in the City of London, but, seeing the manner in which tlic citizens of London in workhouses were dieted, and contrasting it with the couatrv, he said that it required sonic explanation. It Iwas urged continuelly that the ohject of the law was to make the labourer independent. That was undoubtedly I a desirable object, but how did the Commissioners carry it out? By keeping the dietary olio degree above star vation point. How eculd wages be raisei, if this system I was pursued? He hoped the Noble Lord would seer the necessity of having, this dietary table more diffused throughout England. He had no motion to submit to the House upon the subject, but he had thought it his duty to bring the subject betore the House. He had another rrae of the manner in which the children were firmed at Norwood, but he would not then trouble the I - louse with i t. Lord JOHN RUSSELL declined to enter into a discussion on the subject at the present moment, as it was his intention to postpone the Bill till after Easter. He would not now introduce the clauses of which he had given notice, but would reserve them till after the recess, when the Bill had gone through Commit tee. He thought that was the only course which could be properly adopted. It was his intention to propose that the Bill should remain as it was till after the recess, and that the Committee should be resumed on the 3d of May. Mr. GOULBURN thought it would have saved a great deal of trouble, and been more convenient to the House, if the clauses had been introduced at the present moment. Colonel SIBTFIORP said he was determined, after the recess, to move for the returns of which he had given notice relative to Coroners. Mr. FOX MAULE had done all he could to ob- I the returns ; he had written to the different Coroners in the country, and he had only received answers from very few. He was afraid that it would be found to be very difficult to obtain the returns. Mr. WAKLEY believed that it would be almost impossible to make out the returns. He thought the best way would be for the Hon. and Gallant Member to move for returns in certain cat es. Celocel SIBTHORP would be happy to adopt any suggestions that would meet the object he had in view, and he would take care and frame his motion ac cordinglv. The House then went into Committee pro forma, and the further consideration of the Bill in Committee was postponed to the 3d of May. TRADE OF BRITISH POSSESSIONS. On the House going into Committee on the trade of British posSessions, Mr. LABOUCHERE rose to move the following resolutions t— "1.
