He followed her, and as her back was turned to him, he saw her draw the razor across her throat. At the moment he ran to wards her, and held her arms, but she struggled to extricate herself, and made the most determined exertions to get loose the hand which held the razor, in order to cut her throat more effectually than she had already done. Her strength was almost supe rior to his own, but at length he knocked the razor out of her hand ; and while he held her with one. arm to prevent her from regaining possession of it, he threw up the window, and called for assistance, as describe by the first witness. The unfortunate man exhibited great agony o mind while detailing the dreadful circumstance. In answer to various questions put by the Jury, he said he had no quarrel or words of an unkind nature with his wife on the Sunday. She fretted very much owing to a child of their's who was taken ill a few days ago, and was considered in great danger. She had attempted to destroy herself about two years ago, and in a letter which she had recently written to her sister, she expressed au intention of committing suicide. The Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased child had been murdered by its own mother, who at the time was labouring under insanity." i v ided i This day wai published, 12mo. price 2s. 6d.

Isaacs, the solicitor, who has inte rested himself in aiding the prosecution of the fun. men, 2140 y, Bishop, Williams, and Shields, who are charged with the murder of Carlo Ferrari, the Italian boy, came Last night, at eight o'clock, a meeting of the Po litical Union of the parish of Clerkenwell took place at the Northumberland Arms. Major REVELL in the chair. The business of the meeting was commenced by the CHAIRMAN reading the proclamation recently issued respecting the formation and existence of Po litical Associations. He also read the notice issued by the National Political Union, and the legal opinions by which it was accompanied, for the pur pose of showing that the present meeting was per fectly within the law. The Chairman then pro ceeded to press upon the attention of those whom he had the honour to address, the necessity there was for their associating for the protection of pro perty in the event of that alarming crisis which must ensue, should the Bill be rejected a second time by the Lords. He had heard of some propositions, the object of which was to secure the adoption of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords. One way certainly would be by the introduction of new Peers, and so swamp the Anti-Reformers; but he confessed that did not appear to him the most eli gible mode. The Commons should say to the Lords, " This is a family quarrel between us and our consti tuents, you had better not interfere, or probably you will share the fate that usually befalls those who meddle in family disputes." The Commons might then resort to the power reserved to them by their own privileges and constitution, and might say to the Minister, " Three months are sufficient for carrying the Reform ; you shall have supplies for three months, but not for three months and a week" —that would scan bring their Lordships to their senses; not a soldier could be paid, not a cockboat could be sent to sea, not one cle►k in a public office could obtain his salary, riot a sinecurist or a pen sioner could receive a single shilling from the ex hausted Treasury of the State; an Exchequer Bill for 100/. would sell for twopence; or the Commons, in granting tl,e supplies for three months, might tack the Reform Bill to them as part of the supplies, and might say to the Lords—No Reform Bill, no Money.—(Applause.) Mr. BOWYER then moved the first resolution. Mr. POWELL seconded the motion. Mr. JusTlNs then moved a resolution, calling upon the House of Commons to suspend the Supplies, until a measure of Reform, not less extensive than that introduced by Lord John Russell, should he passed into a law. The motion, which was seconded by Mr. GREEN, was immediately agreed to. Dr. MORGAN then moved a resolution, declaring that all who did not join the Unions of their respec tive parishes were guilty of giving support to the boroughmongering faction which had so long op pressed the people of England. Mr. FRENCH seconded the resolution. The re solution was then put and agreed to. Mr. COPE moved the next., which went to insti tute weekly meetings of the Union, for the purpose of mutual instruction in political truth. Mr. PILEINGTON seconded the motion, which was then put and agreed to. Mr. WHIPPLE then moved the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman ; and, in allusion to the other Society existing in that parish, with the same views, and called" The Loyal and Patriotic Asso ciation," he confessed he saw no reason for its formation—no pound for its exclusive assumption of loyalty; at the same time, he thought a coalition might be formed between both, as their professed objects were identical. Mr. FRENcit seconded the vote of thanks, which was unanimously agreed to, and the meeting ad ourned. before Mr. Mttisnuu, the magistrate, and stated that some facts bad come to his knowledge which he thought . - - were likely to assist in strengthening the evidence against the accused, and might in all probability elicit circum stances in confirmation of the charge of their being con cerned in the murder of other persons, and in the sub- By CHARLES POPE, Surveyor of Bristol; late Private Secretary to • Chairman of the Board of Customs. ► and Cradock, Paternoster-row, London. Mr. WARBURTON rose to move that the gentle men might be heard. He hoped they would be heard, if not as a matter of right, at least as a matter of courtesy. This motion being seconded, and passed unani mously, Mr. CHURCHILL would not consider himself as a delegate from anybody; that the grand principle pervading all their Unions was alike—that it was perfectly legal for a member of one Society to assist in the formation of another, and then leave the in habitants of the place, or members of that meeting, to conduct it as they judged proper—that his party had a duty incumbent on them to perform, both to that meeting and their own Council—that they would be required to give an account of their stewardship.—(This gentleman concluded rather abruptly, for he did not seem pleased to speak scriely on permission.) Mr. FALL suspected a cloven foot in the meeting; and argued at considerable length against forming a meeting at Lambeth, from the mal-practices usually found in meetings of the persons who patronised the present Union—from the non-necessity of form ing any local Union of that kind, because a Grand Central Union had been formed for the same object, and from petty Unions generally becoming the sources of discord. segnent sale of the dead bodies at different anatomical establishments.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 15.—The Journal of the pro ceedings of the Chamber, of the sth, and in the Secret Sitting of the 11th, in which the Minister for Foreign Affairs made a communication in the King's name, being read and approved, the Presi dent communicated a great number of Addresses and Petitions sent to the Chambers, all relating to the proposed Financial Laws. These were referred to the Committee of Petitions. After which, the Re port of the same Committee on various other peti tions was read. supposed to be about ten years of age, to the Ana tomical Theatre, and bad offered it for sale, which body was finally purchased for dissection. As it appeared by the applications at the different police offices that many youths of both sexes had been missed in a very mysteri ous manner, he (Mr. Isaacs) thought it his duty, for the cake of justice and humanity, to come before his Worship and give the information he thus tendered—more espe cially as the body appeared to be about the age of the boy whose clothes were found in the garden of the supposed murderer, Bishop. He therefore requested the Magis trate to issue his summons to bring Mr: West and his female servant, who had seen the body conveyed into the Anatomical Theatre, before him on the following (this) day, to give evidence on this subject. Mr. MiNsnuLL was obliged to any gentleman who could give any information on the subject of the suspected murderers ; and if Mr. west could throw any light on the dreadful deeds which had created such a sensation through out the metropolis within the last fortnight, he would be glad to receive his examination; but he wished Mr. Isaacs to give a written statement of the circumstances which had come to his knowledge before he issued any summons.

SMITH having defended the original reso lution, Mr. GRADY contended that the present meeting would ultimately become—not an "amicable union" of general interests, but of private friendships instead of political views—that they endeavoured to pledge themselves to support a measure not defined, and perhaps totally at variance with the principle of fair and equal representation—that no word was more bandied about than " Reform," and, perhaps less un derstood ; that Reform should not be supported on lame principles—that out of 25 millions of inhabi tants in these countries, the Bill would give right of election to only one million—that there were in fernal riders on the Bill—that they were to take their liberty in instalments of payments at pleasure, discounted at will—that the agricultural interest had been the bane and standing curse of the country, and had shed its baleful influence over all our interests, yet would now be promoted by the Bill—that it was absurd to form Unions, if confidence was placed in the Ministry that their Bill would be carried—that half way measures of Reform were tantalizing—that the Bill would aggrandize only the middle classes, whom even Attwood himself, following .Voltaire, had termed the dregs of society and most despicable and degraded part of the community—and that while, perhaps, one-seventh of the people might thus be gratified with illusory Reform, the other six sevenths must look on with melancholy and mor tification. ROLLS COURT, Nov. 24. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. BROWN. This case came before his Honour the MASTER ofthe ROLLS to-clay, upon exceptions to the Master's report. The original information had beets filed by the Attorney-General upon the report of the Charity Commissioners, and the short facts of the CAC were these. In the second year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a person of the name of Rohert Purslove, Suf fragan Bishop of the See of Hull, obtained a license for the letting of lands not exceeding the value of twenty pounds a year, for the purpose of establishing a grammar school at Tidsweel, in the diocese of Lichfield. In June, 1501, Purslove executed a deed by which he made statutes and ordi nances for the regulation of the school, and provided that the master should be elected by himself during his life, or by the members of the Corporation of Lichfield, at his death ; and on the refusal of the Corporation to appoint a master, the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield were to do so; but in case they did not perform that ditty within a certain time after his death, then the vicar and churchwardens of the parish of Tidswell were to appoint a master. The founder by the same deed constituted the corporation, the Dean and Chapter of Lich field, and the vicar and ~! iurchwardens of Tidswell, counsellors for the management of the school. The produce of the lands assigned by Purslove, were three.fourtlis of them to go to the establishment of the school, and payment of the school master, and the remaining one-fourth to be applied for the benefit and support of the poor of the parish. In 1790 the Rev. Robert Brown, the present defendant, was appointed schoolmaster, and shortly after his appointment disputes arose between him and the trustees with respect to the amount of the income be was to receive, the trustees considering, (the whole proceeds of the lands given for the purposes of the charity amounting yearly to 13/. 6s. 8,1.) that the payment of to the master would fully meet the intentions of the founder. In 1792, the Attorney-General, as the relation of Brown, exhibited his information and bill against the church wardens ofTidswell, insisting that as further lands had been granted to the charity, he was entitled to three-fourths of the rents, upon the construction of the statute by which the school was founded. The defendants put in their answer, stating, all the deeds by which any property had been conveyed to the charity, and on the 20th of July, 1795, an order was made for the appointment of a recoiver, and an agreement was entered into between Brown the master, and the trustees of Mr. Isaacs had ❑ot the least objection to do so, as be was anxious Mr. West should be in attendance on the fol lowing day, when the accused were to be re-examined. He also begged the Magistrate to excuse the liberty he took in suggesting to his Worship the importance of the accused being committed in time to take their trials at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions, next week, for, with his experience, he knew how important it was that as little delay as possible should take place, lest the chain of evi dence should be broken, by the memory of the witnesses failing them as to facts now strongly impressed on their minds. Mr. MiNstiur.t. had taken the subject into his serious consideration, and he had made op his mind to commit the four men to take their trials at the next Sessions, at the Old Bailey. He did nut think that any further evidence, as regarded the murder of the boy Ferrari, was likely to be obtained by putting off the trial beyond the next week ; nor did he believe the evidence of Mr. West related to that case; hut might, for aught he knew, be important as relating to other parties supposed to have been murdered. Mr. Isaacs admitted that the evidence of Mr. West would not relate to the Italian boy, except so far as it went to shot' the practices of the accused. Mr. Burnaby, one of the principal clerks, said that Mr. AlinsLull would not go into any evidence on the following day, except that which concerned the murder of the Italian boy. . .

The present in formation was then filed for the purpose of compelling Brown to refund that proportion which he had improperly charged on the one-fourth belonging to the poor, and also for a severance of the two inconsistent characters in which Brown then stood. The Court, on the hearing of that information, was of opinion that the At torney-General was entitled to the relief he asked, and decreed accordingly; but in consequence of the defendant alleging, after the hearing of the cause, that he had discovered that he was en titled to the whole produce of some of the lands belonging to the charity, and that he had acquiesced in theagreement under an im proper notion of what his rights were, the Court gave him liberty to present a petition on the subject, and on the hearing of it di rected an inquiry to the Master, to ascertain the fact. The Mas ter found that with respect to the two principal estates, assigned by the original founder, called Colesworth and Priestcliftb, the Master was entitled to their whole proceeds, and against that re. port the present exception was taken. Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. BARBER appeared for the Attorney- General, and Mr. BICKERSTETII and Mr. BEsmEs were Counsel for the defendant Brown. His HONOUR (the Master of the Rolls) entertained nodoubt whatever as to the course he ought to pursue, and ordered the exceptions to he allowed. On further directions the Court, con. sidering that Mr. Brown had not acted bona fide in holding the inconsistent situations of schoolmaster and vicar, declared that he was bound to elect either to fill one or the other, but that he could not hold both. The Court also ordered the Master to take an account of the rents andprofits received by Mr. Brown. The presence of the cholera morbus in this country has very greatly embarrassed venders and pur chasers of life annuities, policies, and reversions. The fear of the extension of that alarming disease has already prevented several sales by auction ; and as the calculation in the tables, which are usually the guide, cannot now, as it is stated, be relied on, the embarrassment is likely to continue.

Correspondent.) — On Monday after noon, after a meat severe attack of internal inflammation, which kept him in excruciating a g on y for three hours, JOHN HITNDERSON expired. He was for many y ears a faithfu/ servant to the late Mr. ELLlsTorr—a useful actor, particularly in pantomime—and must be well remembered by the frequenters of our minor theatres. He was a de termined dram-drinker—gin was his favourite beverage; and it was by no means an uncommon thing for hint to swallow 16 glasses of raw gin in the course of a morning ! A friend latterly told him, by way of warning, the anec dote that is related of SHERIDAN-namely, " that if he did not abstain from his devotions to Bacchus, he would destroy the coats of his stomach." SHERIDAN repli e d, " then my food must digest in my waistcoat." P oor HygnEasoar said "'tie very well, my friend, to talk about actors, out of situations, dtinking—the fact is they can get drink, but no one thinks of asking them to eat—they at length lose all appetite, and are only capable of taking liquids." The lad, THOMAS BoULTON (the son of the deceased Captain GREY Bouvr0t1), who was supposed by his relatives to have been Barked," seeing an account of his absence in the daily papers, called at the station house of the E division, in George-street, St. Giles's, and accounted for his absence, saying that lie "abhorred being beholden to his friends." all engrossing subject, and informed him, that in pursu ance of the determination come to on Wednesday, that the search of the gardens should not he confined to those be longing to the houses of Bishop and Williams, but should he extended all round, at least as far as the consent of the parties occupying the respective premises could be obtained he bad sent several men at an early hour yesterday morn ing to the spot, and the work of excavation bad been going on all day, but up to nightfall nothing remarkable had been discovered. LI a further search, at Bishop's house, he (Mr. Thomas) had discovered in the front parlour, amongst some rubbish, consisting chiefly of old clothes of the most valueless description, a part of a suit of clothes, which had evidently belonged to a boy of very respectabl e family. Mr. Thomas also stated, that in the course of his inquiry in the neighbourhood, be had found out a boy who about four days before the apprehension of the prisoners, had found a cap and bonnet, near to Bishop's house, partially trampled upon and muddy, which would appear to correspond with the female apparel found in the privy of Williams's late residence, next door to that of Bishop' s , as described in our report in The Sun of yesterday. It will be recollected that the suit of apparel was corn plete except the cap and bonnet. Mr. Thomas went on to state, that the interest excited in the neighbourhood of the tragical events which have been brought to light, and indeed, all over the metropolis, instead of being o❑ the wane, was hourly increasing, and that in a most extraor dinary degree. At daylight, yesterday morning, a consi derable crowd had assembled about Bishop's house, and before the officers and the men employed by them had been long engaged in digging, the crowd had in creased so greatly, that the same danger mentioned in yesterday's report—namely, the demolition of the premises, was apprehended; but effectual measures were taken to prevent it, as far as physical force could avail. As the morning advanced, however, the assemblage of per sons increased to an alarming extent, and it being found impossible to keep off the pressure of the crowd, an appli cation was made to the lady who is the owner of the house to allow the public to view the interior upon the payment of a trifling sum of money each person. This was acceded to, and is a very short time all apprehension of danger was removed. By a judicious arrangement, those who chose to pay were admitted in parties of five or six, none paying less than sixpence, many a shilling, and some half-a crown, and even five shillings. This continued until dark, when the mob dispersed quietly —not, however, without many taking away with them something by way of me mento of their visit to the scene of human slaughter. A tree which grew close to Bishop's house was stripped of most of its branches and bark, and literally out to pieces. Mr. Thomas, in conclusion, mentioned a most important circumstance. He had been informed that the Rev. Mr. Williams, of Hendon, one of the visiting Magistrates of the House of Correction where Bishop is confined, in the course of yesterday called the prisoner aside and after ad dressing a few words to him on the subject of the awful situation in which he stands, said " Now, Bishop, you say that you got the body of the poor boy out of a grave; you know well that all the evidence goes to a direct con tradiction of that assertion of yours ; in fact, it is quite impossible that could have been the case." Here the Rev. Gentleman paused for a reply, and Bishop burst into tears, and continued sobbing and in a state of great mental agony for several minutes. On recovering sufficiently to be able to articulate, he said, " Pray, Sir, let me see you to-marrow." Here the conversation, as we are informed, terminated. Bishop, since the last examination at Bow-street, hue altered greatly, not only in manners but in personal ap pearance. He is much thinner, and from being full of levity and apparent confidence and carelessness, had be come silent and dejected, As a proof of the extraordinary interest excited in the public mind by this investigation, Mr. Mirshull stated last night, that he had received nearly fifty applications from persons of rank and consideration, requesting that accommodation might be afforded them to hear the examination of the prisoners this day. The wor thy Magistrate, with his accustomed kindness, bas given directions for the accommodation of the public as far as the limited size of the office will permit. In the course of the evening, Mr. Taunton, one of the principal officers of Bow -street, stated to the Magistrate that he had waited upon the proprietor of the Anatomical Institution alluded to by Mr. Isaacs in his statement, and was informed that th e only bodies purchased (at the time mentioned) at that establishment were those of a child three years of age and a Inman about fifty. LAMBETH POLITICAL UNION. At a meeting held on Wednesday evening, abou seven o'clock, at Procter's Hotel, Bridge-road, Lambeth, for the purpose of forming a Reform Union, Mr. John Moore was unanimously voted into the Chair. The CnArasrAs stated, that since the measure had been adopted by some influential inhabitants of Lambeth to form a Uni o n, an important circum stance (namely, the shortly-expect e d m ee ti ng o f Parliament) had given the lie direct to the rumours at that time afloat, of the insincerity or hesitation of Ministers with regard to the measure of Reform so anxiously expected by the country. It was certainly a gratification to him, and all desirous of peace, as well as of Reform, that an early meeting of Parlia• ment had been determined on. He then adverted to the Proclamation lately considered necessary to be issued by the King in Council, which, he stated, did not at all effect the formation of any Political Union, but was levelled chiefly against those bodies of such Unions who had formed themselves into organised parts, and entitled classes and distinct companies, which might thus tend to embarrass or subvert the Government of the country. But the formation of the Lambeth Union did not tend to embarrass Government, but to assist his Majesty's Ministers, by every constitutional means in their power, to carry, in the most efficient manner, the object so warmly anticipated by all those who were willing and anxious, as they were constitutionally able, to subvert the overweening faction by which the people had been so long oppressed. Mr. ROFEY then moved, " That it is expedient (at the present important crisis) all real friends of Reform, resident in Lambeth, should form them selves into an amicable Union, for the purpose of affording every loyal and constitutional support to our most gracious and patriotic King and his present Ministers, in carrying into a law the measure of Re form, to which they stand pledged to the country, and which has been approved of by the former." Mr. WAnritiwroN, M.P. felt convinced that the principles on which their Union was intended to be established were perfectly legal and constitutional, and that it was indispensable, by meetings of that kind, to collect the general sentiments of the parish o f Lambeth, which formed so material a portion of the metropolis. Still he could not but feel per suaded of the impropriety of personally enrolling his name among the members of the Union, however personally sanctioning its objects. It was not im ws!ble that a vindication of such Unions would be required .elsewh ere , to w hi c h h e m i g h t b e a bl e t o give efficient support so long as unconnected with such Unions; but such a vindication would be per fectly unless, were he personally connected with one. Mr. GEORGE rose to propose an amendment, that it was riot expedient to form themselves into any Union for the purpose of supporting an indefinite measure of Reform, however Ministers might be pledged their own persons. Ile considered that the measure to which the Ministers were said to he pledged was solely intended for the benefit of the middle classes, and intended to exclude the working classes, which formed the real and effective majority of the people. Mr. BURFORD seconded the amendment. Mr. DELMORE supported the amendment. Mr. RoPF.Y could see no feasible objection to the present resolution, because the intended Bill did not (because it could not) at once go so far as might generally he deemed necessary. Mr. FAIRY trusted they would again have the Bill—at least, one as efficient as the Bill—and could not but consider the inhabitants of Lambeth parti calm ly as pledged to the measu►e; for 700 of them had formerly appended their signatures, sanctioning OnWednesday an inquest was held at the Prince of Wales, Brixton-hill, before Mr. R. CARTER, on the body of William Merritt, a child nine months old, destroyed by his own mother, who afterwards made an attempt upon her own life. The circumstances attending the catastrophe are of the most afflicting nature, the unfortunate mother being now confined in Guy's Hospital for the wound she had inflicted upon herself subsequently to taking the life of her offspring. Edward Reynolds, servant at the Black Horse, Brixton, stated that on Sunday last, between three and four o'clock, as he was standing at the door of a house in _Brighton-place, he saw William Merritt, a gardener, residing at No. 31 in the row of houses, throw up the sash of one of the windows in the front attic, and cry out for assistance. He exclaimed, " Make haste, break open the door, my wife has murdered her child, and she has attempted to take her own life." He was then holding his wife, who appeared to struggle hard to get away from him, while the blood flowed from a gash in her throat down the front of her person. Witness finding the street door shut, immediately got into the house through the parlour window, and pro ceeded up stairs to the room where he had seen Merritt and his wife from the road. On entering the apartment the sight was truly appalling; Mrs. Merritt was lying on the floor with her throat cut, and her husband holding her down while she strug gled to regain possession of a bloody razor, which was at a short distance from the spot ; the lifeless body of their child also lay extended upon the floor, with the head nearly severed from its body, and the floor itself was deluged in blood, which flowed from mother and child. Merritt, who had great difficulty in holding down his wife and preventing her from getting the razor, on seeing witness, ex claimed " Good God ! here's a job !—my wife has cut her throat and her child's; run for a doctor." A Mr. Henderson, who lives opposite, having ar rived by this time, secured the razor, and assisted in placing the unfortunate woman on a couch ; and, in the interval that elapsed before a medical man arrived, she expressed a desire to be left to die, and called for paper, which having been furnished with, she wrote, in a hand scarcely legible, a few sen tences to the following effect :—" I have not had a cross word with my dear husband ; he has been , very kind to me, nor did he know what I went up stairs for." The paper upon which she had written the words was stained with the blood which issued , from the wound in her throat. Upon the arrival of , a surgeon the wound was dressed, and she was con , veyed to the hospital, where it appeared she at , tempted to tear off the dressings and pull open the wound. There were several other witnesses examined, whose evidence proved that the unhappy woman was a tender mother, and particularly fond of the child she had destroyed while labouring under a fit of insanity. The Jury having expressed a wish to hear Mer ritt's account of the tragical affair, he was accord ingly sent for, and he attended immediately. He stated that his wife, by whom he had three children, complained of illness for the last fort night, and exhibited at times great despondency. On Sunday last she did not eat any dinner, owing to illness; and, while they were both sitting at the tire, she having the child sucking at her breast, she said that she should go up stairs and place it in bed. She then got up, as he supposed, for the purpose ; and, as he was about to shave himself, he went up to the first floor, where he kept his razors, and missed one of them. He became alarmed, and was proceeding up to the attic, when he met his wife on the landing-place, and asked her whether the child I was asleep ? Her reply was, " Aye, it's asleep CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.--SITTING OF Nov. 21. The Minister of War rose to make a communica tion, which he introdsl by saying,—" Gentlemen, the Government has a - trended with a lively interest to the debates in both the Chambers upon the Bill relating to the decorations and promotions granted in the interval between the 20th of March and the 7th of July, 1815. Its sentiments upon these points have been so fully manifested by acts, that we can have no occasion to make any new declarations re specting them. The King has restored to their ranks in the army and in the Legion of Honour a great number of cfficers who had been deprived of them. Nevertheless, enlightened by the discussions alluded to, it has appeared to him necessary to lay down the basis of a general provision by which it may be possible to conciliate the claims Pf all who are interested with the rights of third persons, and with that discretion which ought to attend every measure causing an augmen tation of the public burthens. Other difficulties, tint at first apparent, would have soon fettered the execution of provisions voted in favour of the offi cers of the old army. A general acknowledgment of all the promotions would have been followed by the most serious inconveniences. To enable you to appreciate these, it will be sufficient for me to point out to your notice that the law is silent as to such officers as have been long dead—to those who, hav ing voluntarily renounced the career of arms, have retired into civil life—and as to those who, having rendered themselves liable to punishments for offences not of a political nature, do not merit to be re-admitted into the army, and much less to a superior rank ; and, finally, those who, in 1815, occupied employments or stations which no longer exist under the present organization of the army, and at the same time have no claims to pensions—all of whom have no interest in being acknowledged to have been in possession of those grades. But your wishes, Gentlemen, have been understood, and the King has given orders that they shall be fulfilled, after an accurate examination of the position of each individual. Already several ordinances have been issued to this effect ; and as the claims of those that remain are established, new ordinances will grant them their commissions also. Thus Gentlemen (he continued), the first part of your expressed wishes as to promotions and decorations will be completely accomplished. The King is happy at finding that it comes within the circle of his prerogative to acknowledge claims and ser vices upon which the sentiments of the Crown are in perfect accord with yours. The proposition you have adopted relative to retired pensions contained other provisions which are evidently within the dominion of the law. The Government admits the principle, and we should now have only to reproduce them li terally, if we had not been satisfied that difficulties would have arisen against their being carried into execution, which would be insurmountable, or at least which it would have been impossible to get over without a new application to the Legislature for an explanatory law.' The Minister then pre sented the Bill, which contained special provisions respecting the mode of regulating the pensions in question. The Bill was ordered to be printed. The Chamber then proceeded to continue the dis cussion of the Bill definitively regulating the accounts of the budget of 1829. M. Roget took several objections to the items re ating to the Department of the Marine, which were replied to by M. de Regny and M. Baudet-Lafarge. The general discussion was then declared to be closed, and the Chamber proceeded to discuss the articles,numbers one to ten, of which, relating only to details of receipts and expenditure in 1829, now possessing no interest, were successively adopted without any discussion of importance. M. de Alosbourg presented two additional articles, which the Chamber decided to take into considera tion on the morrow.—Adjourned. CHAMBER OF PEERS.—TUESDAY, roux, r. m. This being the day fixed for bringing up the new Peerage Bill to the Chamber of Peers, great inte rest attached to the business. I never saw such an attendance of Peers since the time of Prince Polig nac's trial. The seats were all nearly filled, and the Peers were every where engaged in the most ani mated conversation. At twenty minutes after two o'clock the President took his seat, and shortly after the following new Peers, whose verifi cations had been completed, appeared on the floor, and took the usual oath.
