PROFESSOR YOUNG'S WORKS ON THE MATHEMATICS, NAVIGATION, MENSU RATION, GEOMETRY, TRIGONOMETRY, Published by J. SOUTER, School Library, 73, St. Paul's Church..

Bvo. Bs. %* The following brief notices have been selected from various Criticisms too numerous for insertion here, all speaking of Mr. Young's Works in high terms of approbation : " Mr. Young's Observations on the theory of parallel lines, the labour he has bestowed on the doctrine of Proportion, as well as his corrections of many errors of preceding geometers, and supply ing their defects, together with his minute attention to accuracy throughout, may be justly considered as rendering his performance valuable, especially to the learner.—Philosophical Magazine. " In perspicuity, Euclid has no rival, except, perhaps, in that part of his work which treats of Geometrical Proportion. This is abstruse, and subtle, and intricate. The doctrine of proportion, as connected with geometry, must necessarily be so. Hence Le gendre has excluded the consideration of it from his Elements, leaving all knowledge of the subject to be acquired from numerical proportion. This is a defect which Mr. Young has ably supplied. Indeed, we have never seen a work so free from pretension, and of such great merit. Various fallacies latent in the reasonings of some celebrated mathematicians, both of ancient and modern date, are pointed but and discussed in a tone of calm moderation, which, we regret to say, is not always employed in the scientific world."— ' Monthly Magazine. " Mr. J. R. Young, who has distinguished himself as the author of a useful elementary treatise on Algebra, has just published a work of the same beneficial description, Elements of Geometry,' with Notes. The great advantage which students will derive from this work is, that the converse of every geometrical proposition (where demonstration is possible) is given. This has never been systematically done before. Several other improvements are intro duced (especially with regard to the doctrine of Proportion), and many errors of former geometers corrected,"—Sunday Times.

ELEMENTS of PLANE and SPHERICAL TRIGONO METRY, with its Application to the Principles of Navigation and Nautical Astronomy, with the necessary Logarithmic and Trigonometrical Tables. By J. R. YOUNG. Duodecimo. 6s. cloth, or, with the Mathematical Tables, I2s. "* * * * These reflections have originated in a comparison of Mr. Young's excellent treatise on Trigonometry, with some other works that have made their appearance within the last ten or twelve years, and a comparison of all these with the standard works that preceded them. We have more than once taken occa sion to express the opinion we were led to form of this gentleman's course of analytical mathematics ; and, though in some respects the nature of the work itself affords less scope for the exercise of that happy faculty which Mr. Young possesses for exposing the paralo gisms and supplying satisfactory solutions for the elementary diffi culties of science—yet in many parts we see traces of that same peculiar attention to logical and philosophical accuracy which dis tinguished his former writings. The great value of this work, we conceive, consists in its unity of p►►rpose, the continuity of its plan, and the very close attention paid to the student's power of com pleting the whole series of processes which are involved in the solution of the problem under consideration. Though a suffi cient number of examples is always a desideratum in every elementary book, the clear development of the whole pro cess is greatly more important ; but in Trigonometry examples are so easily formed, and the results so easily verified, that we think there is less necessity for this kind of amplifica tion than in any other brands of elementary mathematics. We therefore think Mr. Young has done judiciously in rather giving ex amples of completely-worked questions under each head, than in adding a great number of unwrought questions, merely as an exer cise for the student in performing operations for which has no model, nor, to him, an intelligible rule. Having done this, we think the number of exercises given in the present work will furnish ample practice for the most unapt of his readers. " Mr. Young has added a set of logarithmic and other tables : '" * we feel it proper to state that we have lately dipped into them, at hazard, and with others of established reputation on our desk for comparison, about two hundred times, and in no one of these cases did we detect an error. " We hope, therefore, that the account we have been able to offer of this unpretending work, will have the effect of calling the attention of younger students (and still more of professional tutors) to it, as a book eminently calculated to ensure an early intimacy with the practice as well as the principles of trigonometry, and of attracting the notice of geometers generally to the curious results that appear in the supplemental chapters, and inducing them to at tempt the extension of a branch of science, which apparently ad mits of almost unlimited cultivation."—London and Edinburgh Philosophical Magazine, November, 1833. " The design of this work,' as Mr. Young observes, is to establish the theory of plane and spherical trigonometry analyti cally, and to present that theory in a form fitted for elementary instruction.' * * Were nothing required in trigonometry but an elementary knowledge of the properties of plane and spherical triangles, then we should say, that the beautiful geometrical eluci dations by Dr. Simson would be sufficient to engage attention. But the science, to be generally or extensively useful, must be car ried further, an d recourse b e h a d to ana l yt i ca l met h o d s of investi gation, from which, in most cases, results are obtained more con venient for turning into actual numbers. In these respects Mr. Young appears to have left nothing to be wished for ; having fur nished numerous analytical formulae, and numerous examples of their arithmetical results. The great recommendation of the work is, its being a sure and plain guide in almost every species of trigo nometrical calculation. * * * Mr. Young has now nearly com pleted a course of mathematics, which is certainly the best we pos sess."—The Tyne Mercury, August 27, 1833.

(PRICE 7n.) COURT OF REQUESTS, JULY 30. The plaintiff here pulled the unmentionables out of a bundle, and holding them up, exhibited a most disastrous rent, exactly across that part where " honour's lodged ;", and, in addition, pointed out a fractuve which one of the legs had apparently sustained at the sams. - « Fell, me Lorts (continued Mr. Abrahams), 1 ax him vil he pay for me goots ; ven he say, I may go hang mYshelf, for he von't pay not no monish for de damage.' " Mrs. Abraham, c e r t a i n l y th e " larger" if not. the "better" ' half of the plaintiff—fat, and apparently forty stone—pre sented herself to prove that the compound fractures had oc curred in consequence of the defendant's exertions to get the garment on. The circumstances, as extracted from the statements of both parties, appeared to be, that the defendant had been invited by the plaintiff to try on a pair of blue unmentiona bles, which seemed to attract his fancy, and that having managed to squeeze himself into the garment, the plaintiff with affected admiration, pronounced the article to be a " prime fit." Unluckily, neither party had taken into con sideration the flimsiness of the fabric, and that the trowsers had not been fashioned for a Dutch built customer, so when the defendant stooped to tie his shoe, the seat of the gar ment gave way in a twinkling, and a gap of somewhere about half a yard was the consequence. The plaintiff also, in assisting to get the breeches off, seized one of the legs, and at the very first pull, brought away a hand's breadth from the bottom, The defendant refused either to take the trowsers or to pay for the damage. The Learned COMMISSIONER said it was quite evident, from the size of the trowsers, that they were much too small for the defendant, and, consequently, the plaintiff ought not to have suffered him to draw them on. " I'll no pay a single bawbee for the breeks," said the defendant ; " I tell'd the chiel I thocht they wadna fit me ; but he says. Hootawa, you're no half sae muckle as the mon they were made for'—so I rugged awa until the breeks brack across, just like an auld rotten plaidie. It's an ad meerashun to me hoo I got thae breeks owre , my htirdies." Did the plaintiff give you permission to try them on?" asked the Commissioner. • " Yes, he did," responded the defendant ; " he tell'd me to gang ben, and put on the breeks, or I wadna had ony argue bargling about paying for the damage." The permission to try on the trowsers was not disputed on the part of the plaintiff, and, under those circumstances, the Court being of opinion that the plaintiff had not acted with prudent caution, made their award accordingly. MAIDSTONE. DEATH BY EATING PICKLED SALMON. Tuesday an adjourned inquest was held at the New Inn, to prosecute the inquiry touching the death of William and Ann Bore, who had died on the preceding day in con sequence, as it was alleged, of eating putrid pickled salmon. Several witnesses were examined, the evidence of some of whom implicated a man of the name of Flood (the vendor), as numbers are now lying ill in consequence of partaking of his nauseous merchandise, - Mr. Saunders, a professional gentleinan, was sent by the -Gem , c.nor_-to.. nVl.*iynp t he body of Bore 0. plat »zortem examination of the other body .ras taken before), and on his return he reported that the morbid appearances were the same in both bodies, but the intestines of one were more inflamed than the other, and the stomach less. He had no doubt but the deaths arose from the absorption of putrid food, but an exit would in such case be much more slow than supposing acrid poison had been taken. A gentleman from Aberdeen tendered his evidence to show how extremely cautious the boilers and curers of salmon were in their selection of fish ; and the only acid liquid he knew of was vinegar of a strong quality. Mr. Stacey, a baker, proved that his wife and five chil dren had all become invalids through eating the salmon in question. _ _ The fragment of the kit was here produced, when the handkerchief of every gentleman was called in requisition (one excepted), and Dr. Saunders pronounced it to be un wholesome, and said that those who ate of it ran the risk of a speedy death. The prisoner Flood was called in to hear the evidence read, when he declared his innocence, and that he should be able to prove that the salmon was warranted to him by an Irish salesman in Thames-street, of the name of Redpath. The CORONER summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty of Manslaughter" against James Flood, who was committed to the Town Gaol to take his trial at the next Assizes.

The sales in our cotton-market to-day amount to about 3,000 bales, at full market prices, nearly 1,000 of which are on spe culation, principally American, from Bd. to 9d. ANOTHER FATAL CAB ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, a poor woman, named Martha Rutland, died at the Middlesex Hospital, in consequence of the injuries she had received by being run over by a cab driven at at a furious rate in Oxford-street a few days ago. An inquest will be held on the body to-morrow (this day.) An individual lately arrived from abroad had with him a trunk containing diamonds to the value of 500,000 francs. On his arrival from Calais a few days since, by a dili gence, he discovered that his trunk had been changed on the road. According to the account of the conductor, the mis take could only have taken place at Abbeville, where a passen ger had taken his place for Dieppe. Upon this information the gentleman instantly set out in a post-chaise, accompanied by the conductor, arrived at the latter place in fourteen hours, and was fortunate enough to recover his trunk. He had not, it seems, a moment to lose, for the traveller, who had taken his trunk by mistake, from its resemblance to his own, was on the point of embarking. Such was the agitation of the owner of the diamonds that he fainted, and it was some ti me b e f ore h e came to Mins - elf: His brother, fearing that despair might have led to some unfortunate result, followed him closely on the road, and arrived just in time to witness the above scene. —Paris Paper.

SWINDLER EXTRAORDINARY.—On Thursday an individual, whose real name is understood to be Thomas Dickson, but who, as convenience demands, has many aliases n reserve, was apprehended in the Cowgat e b y S ergeant i Major Ramage, on a charge of swindling to a great extent, by a method somewhat original, and but too successful. This personage, who has a very pleasing exterior, plies his vocation it seems in the following manner :—He contrives to obtain some vague history of the family against whom he means to direct his attack, and having thus so far veiled his imposture, he generally assumes their name, and sets forth a piteous, in teresting, and rather well got up, tale of his misfortunes. By this means he has imposed on the credulity of several families in this city, and obtained. sums of money, of 1/. to 81. To give an idea of the extent of his impositions, we may men tion that among the various names which he has assumed, and which has come the knowledge of the authorities, are as follows :—Galloway, Jardine, Maxwell, Smith, Craigie, Robinson, Cathcart, *Kenzie, Ferguson. He first appeared in this city in April 1833, and, we believe, also :in September of that year, but some noiice of his rogueries having appeared in the newspapers, and the public having been thus put on their guard he found the scene rather too hot for him, and wisely took his departure. Ha returned übout ten days ago. At the time he was apprehended he was riding up the Cowgate on a fine black long-tailed horse, which he had purchased from a horse-dealer in this city. Upon being searched, no less sum than 2501. Bs.

DANGERS OF A " TIGHT FIT."

Mr. Abrahams, a little withered old Jew, with a pair of red, ferrety eyes; and a nose like a parish pickaxe, set forth his claim with great vehemence, in these terms : " Pleash you, me Lorts, dish man come into ma street, and as he look like a cushtomer, I shay to him, Pleash to valk in, ven I shall sell you very goo!: pargains, more sheaper as any von in ma trade Vell, me Lorts, he valk in, and ax me how much for a pair of breeches vot I have got to shell.

The first section treats of the differentiation of functions in general ; the second contains the application of the differential calculus to the theory of plane curves; and the third unfolds the general theory of curve surfaces and of curves of double curvature. In the first the. author introduces the most valuable theorems and formulae of the cele brated analysts, Euler, Laorange, Demoivre, and Cotes. In the second, he has given a correct explanation of what the French have termed consecutive curves. The third contains the most beautiful theorems of Euler, Monge, and Dupin, relative to the curvature of surfaces in general, together with a chapter on twisted surfaces ; a subject hitherto confined to foreign writers. The whole forms a more simple, consistent, and comprehensive view of 'the differential calculus, and its variouis applications, than any hitherto published. "But the work does not merit attention merely on account of arrangement, and the judicious selections which it contains from the writings of others. It has also claims to originality. What the author has adopted from other writers he has rendered much more simple. The chapter on Maxima and Minima presents con siderable improvements in various parts of the investigation. In surveying the cases in which Taylor's theorem fails, Mr. Young has shown that it does not fail where the coefficients become ima ginary, as is asserted by Lacroix and his followers, but that these failing cases are always indicated by the coefficients becoming in finite. In one of the problems on this subject- he has detected a fa'se solution by Lagrange, which has been transcribed by Gamier and several others, merely on the faith. of a great name. • " The whole Elements of the Differential Calculus, comprehend ing all that is most valuable, in the large works of the most cele brated analysts, are contained in a duodecimo volume, beautifully printed on a fine paper, and neatly bound in cloth. It appeared to be in every respect well fitted for a class-book. and can scarcely fail to be very generally adopted.—Presbyterian Review, Sept. 1831. " There are no affected changes of method ; there is no parade of original plan or of novelty of principle ; and yet there is much original matter, much original reasoning, and, what is of more value than all questions about originality in an elementary treatise, there is a perspicuity, a unity of method, prevailing in all its parts, that renders it more than any book we have seen peculiarly adapted to instruction. " It is not, however, as an elegant and perspicuous development of the first principles of the Calculus merely that we have admired, and therefore recommend Mr. Young's little work ; we have also found much to commend in it of a more profound character; much that we look for in vain in larger works, and indeed in all English books. " The paralogisms of some other writers (distinguished ones too, ) are pointed out in the preface, and in the body of the work ; and many steps which have hitherto been deem e d unquest i ona bl e h ave been shown by Mr. Yo ung t o be altogether fallacious. We wonder indeed, when we see them pointed out, why they did not occur to ourselves, nor to any body else, till now ; and we look upon the aptitude displayed in these detections to be highly characteristic of a mind which looks with laudable anxiety to the purity of the fun damental principles of science.

More ele,;ant text-books do not exist in the English language, and we trust they will speedily be adopted in our Mathe matical Seminaries. The existence of such auxiliaries will of it self, we hope, prove an inducement to the cultivation of Analytical science ; for, to the want of such elementary works, the indiffe rence hitherto manifested in this country on the subject is, we ap prehend, chiefly to be ascribed.

Of what it is compounded we know not ; but this we know, that it is wonderfully efficacious, relieving headache and purging the eyes of injurious humours, especially if they are of a scrofulous nature. It is also an extremely complaisant companion when toiling over musty books or writings, and tends most power fully to enable the eye to perfor m , w ith ou t fail, an unusual quantity of labour." OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the United Service-Gazette, April 19, 1834.—" The advance of civilization, which gives birth to so many new forms of infirmity and disease, brings in its train new discoveries of remedial agents and new applications of science to their virtues. In no case has this remark been more signally verified than in the modern prevalence of near-sightedness, and the new appliances for its relief.

SIDDONS'S LOVE AND MARRIAGE. ,Vhen she was about seventeen, Mr. Siddons, who was still an actor in her father's company, paid his first atten tions to her ; and it was soo n p erce i ve d t h at t h ey were ac ceptable. Mr. Si▪ ddons had b een b re d to b us i ness i n Bir minghambut bei▪ ng hand some an d act i ve, and not without versatile talents for the s t age , an d hi s range of characters e'xetresantdilee ; from Hamlet to Harlequin, he acquired provincial popularity as an actor. Th e peop l e of Brecon even took an interest in his attachment to Miss Kemble, especially at one period, when he thought hi mse lf th reatene d w i t h a dis appointment. At this crisis Mr. Siddons made a public statement of his case, which, though it flowed in rhyme, might possibly contain more rhyme than reason. He al leged, that, though he had been accepted by Miss Kemble with the approbation of her parents, they had suddenly for bidden his pretensions, at the prospect of a wealthy neigh bouring squire being about to solicit her hand, and that the young lady herself had acquiesced in their decision. The object of Mr.nSaidedt,oans'gseettelrermorasn a w n i cl ie, j a ea t l t o b u a s t y ti w m a e s , h a ea M a r e . e E s v ta a t n e s 'n o e f ar Brecon, though he lived to consume it, and died an insolvent bachelor. It is still remembered by some sur vivors in Brecon, that thi s M r . E vans was rumoured to have fallen in love with Miss Kemble on hearing her sing an opera song, "Sweet Robin," with peculiarly fascinating effect ; and people expected that he would ask her ip mar riage. Of the instability o f Mi ss K emble ' s affections, how ever, there is not the slightest proof beyond the word of a jealous lover ; and, though Mr. and Mrs. Kemble might well grudge their only daughter to a fellow stroller, we are not to take Mr. Siddons's song as evidence of their culpa bility. Mr. Siddons proposed to his beloved an immediate elopement, who, tempering amatory w i t h fili a l d uty, declined the proposal. The impatient lover then became so impetuous in his language to her parents, that he received his dis missal, for the time being, from . Mr. K em bl e ' s company as an actor. He was allowed, however, to have a benefit, and the people of Brecon gave him a bumper house. At the conclusion of the play, he sang the song of his own com position already mentioned (the song is subjoined in the work), which does no remarkable credit either to his delicacy or his poetical genius. But it described the pangs of his own attachment, the coldness of Miss Kemble, and the perfidy of her parents ; and indifferent as the effusion was, it was greeted by the audience with all the Welsh warmth of their hearts. The applauses were still resound ing, after his last bow, when Colin, retiriiig into the green room, was met by the stately mother of Miss Kemble, who was fully prepared to avenge the honour of the family, and crowned Mr. Siddons's benefit by boxing his ears very heartily. How the feud was healed I know not, but the event proved that Mr. Siddons was cured of his jealousy. Miss Kemble promised to marry him as soon as her father and mother's objections could be. overcome. Meanwhile she agreed to go from home, and lived for some time under the protection of Mrs. Greatheed, of Guy's Cliff, in War wickshire. From a surviving member of that family, I learn that she was not much liked, that her great latent genius was not even suspected. It was observed, however, that she passionately admired Milton ; and I have seen a copy of his works which the Greatheeds presented to her at this period. While she remained at Guy's Cliff, she received several visits from Mr. Siddons, and her parents seeing that the attachment was serious, ceased to oppose it. In her nineteen year she was united to the object of her choice— her own father giving her away—they were married at Tri nity Church, Coventry, Nov. 26, 1773. WATER SPOUT.—The singular phenomenon of a water -spout was seen from this city on Tuesday afternoon, which attracted an immense concourse of spectators in every street and open space looking to the south-east. It extended about eight degrees towards the earth, and had at one time a close resemblance to a human arm of gigantic mould. The phenomenon lasted a considerable time, and its various move ments and contortions excited considerable surprise and amazement in the beholders. It was expected to fall some where in Mearns parish.—Scots Times. FEEDING DOGS ON HUMAN FLESII.—Las uasas, speaking of the Spaniards in Jamaica, says—" They hanged these unfortunates by thirteen, in honour of the thirteen Apos tles,---I have beheld them throw the Indian infants to their dogs,---I have heard them borrow the limb of an human being to feed their dogs, and next day return a quarter to the lender." —From Montgomery Martin's Hist , ry of the British Colo nies, Vol. 11.

The Royal Assent was then given, by Commission, to thr Disturbances Suppression (Ireland) Bill, Quare Imped t Actions Bill, Friendly Societies' Bill, Ministers (Scotland) Bill, Stannaries Cow:: (Cornwall) Bill, Orkney Statute Labour Bill, LivJrpool Cotrt of Passage Bill, Port Groin melin Harbour Bill, Barrington and Campsfield Road Bill„ Meiliffe, &c. (Tipperary) Inclosure Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL was below the Bar, and witnessed the Coercion Bill pass its last stage. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he was obliges to take notice of a matter highly important to the public business of that House ; he did not at all mean to complain of it; though it was a most gross misstate ment, yet he fully believed that it was not wilful. It had been stated in every paper in London that the bastardy clauses of the Poor Law Bill had passed by a bare majority of one. He did not complain of it, because no strangers were admitted in the House upoti divisions, and therefore the mistake might be easily made; but their Lordships were well aware that so far from pass ing by a hollow majority of one, they had been passed by a majority of nearly 4 to 1, the numbers being 38 to 14. The subject was one of considerable importance, because,, had the majority been as stated, he for one would have been most ready to have taken them into further consideration upon the bringing up of the Report. Lord WHARNCLIFFE brought up the report upon the County Coroner's Bill, and moved two amendments, which were agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Mr. GEORGE SINCLAIR and others brought up a Bill for the better paving and lighting, &c. the Waterside Division of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, stating that the Com mons had agreed to their Lordships' amendments. Lord CLARENDON presented a petition in favour of the Estaiilished Church. The House then adjourned till two o'clock to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 30. The SPEAKER resumed the Chair at ten minutes past Five. A Messenger from the House of Lords summoned tho SPEAKER and the Commons to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to several Bills, for which see Lords' Report. The SPEAKER and several Members left the House, and re- Aimed in about ten minutes. MONAGHAN ELECTION. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR brought up the report of the Monaghan Election Committee, which stated that Mr. Westenra was not duly returned ; that the petition was not frivolous and vexatious ; and that the opposition to the peti tion was not frivolous or vexatious. The Clerk of the Crown was then ordered to amend his return. Lord LINCOLN presented several petitions in support of he Established Church. SUDBURY ELECTION. Lord MORPETH, in rising to present the petition of which he had given notice yesterday, said that he ought to premise that he did it on the supposition, (whether correctly or not, it would be for themselves to decide) that the petition did not come under the description of election petitions, for which the Legislature had already provided a competent tribunal. Before stating the facts of the case, he (Lord M.) did not know whether it was necessary for him to state that he had not the slightest acquaintance, interest, or connexion with either of the candidates, or any of the inhabi tants of the borough of Sudbury, and that he merely presented the petition out of courtesy to the petitioners. The petition was signed by 274 electors of the borough, and in stating the circums flees upon which they ground their complaint,— The WEAKER here interrupted the Noble Lord, and • suggested that as it was for the House to decide whether the petition came under the description of an election petition or not, it would be the most proper course to state what the na ture of the complaint was, before entering into details. Lord MORPETH said the petitioners complained of the conduct of the returning officer, and prayed the attention of the House to it. The SPEAKER said the Noble Lord would see why he had called his attention to this point. The Noble Lord was aware that the Legislature had provided a special jurisdiction for the trial of all matters connected with elections ; and not only as regarded the validity of returns, but also as to all circumstances connected with the elections. The petition should therefore come before this tribunal, and this was why he had called the attention of the House and the Noble Lord to these two circumstances,-- first, whether it should be deemed within the class of election petitions, and secondly if not within that class, whe ther it was not so immediately connected with it as to run the risk of prejudging the circumstances of the case, the 14 days within which a petition might be presented not having expired. Lord MORPETH said he rose to present this petition on the supposition of its not being an election petition. It was necessary that he should read the prayer of the petition in order that it might be understood. The petitioners expressed a hope that upon the statement of that case the House would deem it necessary to cause an investikation ba made into the unfair, partial, and improver conJuct of the Mayor, ire malang a return at the last election, thus favouring the views of the candidate for whom he voted, and depriving the petitioners of their right to choose a representative, which would not bo the case if he had made a double return. The petitioners further stated, that they were fully prepared to prove the alle gations of the petition. The SPEAKER said he hoped the Noble Lord would pardon him for interrupting him, but it appeared to him that the prayer of the petition was, that the House would take into consideration the conduct of a returning officer at an election which had recently taken place, that is, within fifteen days. Lord MORPETH said he was anxious to do justice to the petitioners ; they (lid not question the return, they only complained of the conduct of the returning officer. There was a somewhat parallel case relating to the elec tion of Truro, which was brought for war d b y M r . W ood, late Member for Preston, who, upon its being sug gested that it was an election petition, desired and obtained leave to mention the circumstances of it. The present petition was long ; but he would confine himself strictly to what wis material. The petitioners stated that having proceeded to the election of a burgess for Sudbury, the candidates were J3shua Bagshaw and Sir E. Barnes— _ _ Sir R. PEEL rose to order. It was not only possible but probable that this would turn out an election petition, and it would, in that ease, be extremely improper to excite any pre judice by a preliminary discussion in that House. He hoped the House would prevent such a preliminary discussion from b •ing entered into. Lord MORPETH should conceive that the result of the s'atements he had to make from the petition would be to induce tll6. House to call the Mayor to the bar of the House. Sir R. PEEL said that if the House chose now for the first time to establish a precedent to the great prejudice of all election petitions, it might by possibility so act, but not other- wise, Lord J. RUSSELL said, that as he collected the state ments of the petition so far as they had been disclosed, they were that the Mayor had made a false return, and, therefore, that the present petition would come under the title of an election petition ; at the same time (as we un derstood the Noble Lord) he would not advise his Noble Friend to pregs the petition. Sir R. PEEL observed that all he wished was, that the Noble Lord would postpone the presentation of the petition until the time when it could regularly, according to the forms of the House be presented. He was quite aware that this subject must be discussed, and he desired that it might be discussed at a time when it would be possible to come to a grave decision by the House. Mr. V. SMITH said he recollected in his own case. that about two years ago, when the conduct of a ballot master at his election was complained of, the House ordered the petition to lie on the table, and he was quite sure that the present case (being one against the returning officer himself) was a much stronger case. Mr. O'CONNELL considered the right course would be to hear the allegations of the petitioners, that the House might be able to judge whether the petition came within the de scription of an election petition or not. Mr. GOULBURN said the precedent attempted to be es tablished by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would be quite a new course to adopt. Colonel DAVIES thought it was clear so far as the House had heard the allegations, that this was not an election petition —it was merely a petition complaining of the returning officer. Lord ALTHORP was inclined to think that this was not an election petition, according to the usual application of the term ; but he thought, at the slime time, the House was competent to discuss the conduct of the Mayor, without entering into the general merits of the election. However, under all the circumstances, he would advise his Noble Friend not to press the presentation of the petition until it should be decided whether there was to be an election petition or not. He recommended his Noble Friend to wait until the usual time. Sir JAMES SCARLETT deprecated any discussion upon the conduct of any person concerned in the elec tion, until the matter had been referred in the ordinary way to the proper tribunal. He protested against the House entertaining or discussing any rumours, and deviat ing from the usual course of disposing of such matters. Lord MORPETH, in reply, said he did not consider this to be strictly speaking an election petition. It did not complain of the return of any member, but of the misconduct of the returning officer, which it begged the House to notice. The alleged misconduct consisted in making a return which he was not authorised to make. He was the 1 ist person to occupy the time of the House unnecessarily, and after what had fallen from the Speaker and several Hon. Members, he would withdraw the petition until the usual time had elapsed. CURRANT DUTIES. On the motion for reading the order of the day for the House resolving itself into a Committee on the Irish Tithe Bill, Lord S A NDON wished to put a question to the Right Hon.
