LISTER'S NEW NOVEL. In 3 vols., post Svo. Alt L I N G T O N. By the author of " Granby," and " Herbert Lacy." " Nothing can exceed the truth and keeping of his sketches, or rather cabinet pictures, from real life. He is a close observer, and in right spirit ; he neither writes a satire nor a eulogy; hut shows us men and women as they are. The good and evil of life are balanced with a steady and impartial hand ; and lessons of manners, virtue, wis dom, cheerfulness, and toleration are everywhere insinuated in action, or illustrated in the shape of animated and na tural dialogue.—Edinburgh Review. Published for H. Colburn, by R. Bentley, New Burling ton-s. rcet. SIR WALTER SCOTT'S MISCELLANEOUS PROSE WORKS. On the Ist of May , will be published, uniform with the Wdverl-y Novels, and his Poetry, now in course of publication, VOLUME FIRST of a new, extended, and corrected edition of the MISCELLANEOUS PROSE WORKS of Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart., to be continued in monthly volumes, with notes and illustra tions. Embehished with portraits, frontispieces, vignette titles, and snaps. The designs of the landscapes from real scenes, by J. M. W. Turner, R. A. The great success which has attended the periodical issues of Sir Walter Scott's Novels and Poetry, leads the Proprietors to bring forward in a similar form his Miscel. laneous Prose Works, which they will endeavour to do so as equally to dest-rve the patronage of the public. It is their purpose to observe the chronological order with as much strictness as they shall find possible. The early volumes contain the Lives of Dryden and Swift, and the as yet less widely circulated, though even more interesting, Biographical Memoirs of Richardson, Fielding, Smollett, Cumberland, Goldsmith, Johnson, Sterne, Henry Mackenzie, Walpole, Reeve, Radcliffe, Le Sage, John• stone, Bage, Charlotte Smith, Sir Ralph Sadler, Dr. Ley den, Miss Seward, De Foe, &c. These volumes will be enriched with Portraits of Dryden, Swift, Smollett, and :Mackenzie, besides vignette embellishments. Another important portion of this series will be the Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, which, besides two authentic portraits, and engravings after Turner's drawings of the places most strikingly associated with the history of that extraordinary man, will have maps of his campaigns, drawn and engraved expressly for this . publication. The text of the Life of Napoleon had been revised with great care by Sir Walter Scott himself; two interleaved copies of the last edition are now in the hands of his Executor;—the language has been corrected and condensed; the utmost accuracy has been attended to as to dates; a most careful comp , rison has been made with the numerous biographies that had appeared since the publication of the First and Second Editions of the work—and copious Editorial notes will now be attached, containing brief notices of the many distinguished men who acted a pro minent part in tie eventful wars which followed the French Revolution. One or more volumes of this collection will comprise Sir Walter Scott's contributions to the principal periodical works of his time. It is well known that he was at one period among the chief supports of the Edinburgh Review, and at a later one of the Quarterly, and his Essays (now first collected) from these Journals and others, must ever form a most interesting feature in his literary, and even in his personal career. The Serhs will close with the far-famed Tales of a Grandfather, which will also have the benefit of Mr. Turner's illustrating pencil. The Work to be comprised in Twenty-Four Volumes ; the publication to commence on the Ist of May, 1834, and to be continued on the Ist day of each month till completed.

Leave was given to bring in a bill to enable the Governors of St. George's Hospital the better to carry into effect the ob jests of that charity. Mr. J. MAXWELLbrought up the report of the committee on the Lanarkshire road petition.—Referred to the committee on standing orders. KINGSTON IMPROVEMENT BILL. Mr. O'CONNELL brought up a bill for lighting, watching, and otherways improving the towns of Kingston and Blackrock. Mr. NEELD brought in a bill for lighting, watching, and otherways improving the town of Chippenham, in the county of Wilts.—The bill was read a first time. Mr. J. H. VIVIAN presented a petition from the town of Swansea, in favour of the Great Western Railway Bill. Mr. WILSON PATTEN moved the second reading of the amendments to the St. Helens and Runcorn-gap Railway Bill. Mr. WILLIAM MILES presented a petition signed by the proprietors of land in the parishes of St. John and St. Bennett, Glastonbury, praying for leave to enlarge the time for present. tog a petition uniting the two parishes.—Referred to the Committee. DISSENTERS-ENGLAND. Hon. CRAVEN BERKELEY presented a petition signed by 426 protestant dissenters of the town of Thornbury, Leicester shire, praying to be relieved from the disabilities affecting them. Also a petition from Coleford in the same county, signed by 173 protestant dissenters, to the same effect ; and a petition from Upwalton, in the county of Sussex, praying for the better observance of the Lord's Day. Hon. G. BERKELEY supported the prayer of the petition from the dissenters. Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS presented petitions from seventeen congregations of protestant dissenters of Pontypool, Blacknufor, Usk, and Caerleon, in the county of Monmouth, pra:ing to be relieved from the disabilities affecting them. Also a petition signed by 1,300 persons, members of the bap tist and independent congregations, two Roman Catholic priests, and a number of persons belonging to the church of England, to the same effect. Sir WILLIAM CHAYTOR presented a petition from the Dissenters of Sunderland, Bishopwearmouth, and Monkwear mouth, to the same effect. Mr. VIGORS presented similar petitions from Sutton-Balam, Chatham, Rochester, and Penshurst, all in the county of Kent, and one from the owners and occupiers of land in the parish of Higham, in the same county, in favour of a commutation of tithes. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. METHUEN presented a petition from Westbury in the county of Wilts, complaining of agricultural distress. The petitioners attributed a great deal of that distress to the in crease of the poor rates, and one fact was particularly worthy of notice, viz., that after 300 paupers had been sent from thence to Canada, there still remained 2,500 persons living on the poor rates.—(Hear, hear.) He knew that the question was sur. rounded with difficulties, and he felt confident that it was the wish of his Majesty's Government to pay every possible atten tion to the agricultural as well as to the other classes. It was however, impossible—and he spoke from his own knowledge of the subject—for the farmers to go on and keep their heads above water, unless some alteration was made in the poor laws. —(Hear, hear.) CHURCH PATRONAGE. Mr. COLQUHOUN presented petitions from Stonehouse, in the county of Lanark, from the royal burgh of Irvine, and from a parish in the county of Elgin, for an alteration in the law of church patronage. The hon. member alluded to an instance in which an incumbent had recently died, and a peti tion most numerously signed was presented, requesting the appointment of the younger clergyman—a man of most exem plary character, to succeed him; but, notwithstanding that strong recommendation, it was rumoured that the government intended to appoint a gentleman whose only qualification was stated to be that he was a government political partisan. He knew not whether such was the fact, but it was so rumoured, and, if it were true, he thought it highly improper to present any clergyman whose only qualification was that he was a politician.—(Hear, hear.) The hon. member also pre sented a petition from the parish of Kirkintulloch, against the Dumbarton Roads Bill ; one from the presbytery of Dumber. ton, for the better observance of the Sabbath ; and one from the parochial schoolmasters of Perth, praying for an alteration in the act of 1803, respecting schools in Scotland, and for a better maintenance of schoolmasters. POOR RATES. Mr. TALBOT presented a petition from the churchwar dens and inhabitants of the parish of Lacock, Wiltshire, com. plaining of the operation of the poor-rates. The amount of those rates was at present 2,7001. annually, exclusive of all other parish.rates. The agricultural interests were burdened with various heavy taxes. Mr. O'DWYER was of opinion that the agriculturists cer tainly endured many heavy impositions, and he should say that he felt convinced of the necessity of relieving them. He felt himself bound to say this much, that it might not be supposed, from his vote on the motion of the hon. member for Middle sex, that he was not aware of the agricultural distress. DISSENTERS. Mr. HANDLEY presented petitions from the inhabitants of Spalding, in Lincolnshire; one to a similar effect by Mr. Calvert, from the Protestant Dissenters of Bishop's Stortford. Mr. POULETT THOMSON presented a petition from the Independent Dissenters of Manchester and Salford, praying for the removal of the disabilities which affected that body : it was signed by 800 persons. It did not enter into the extenisve question of church and state. They merely begged to be al lowed to solemnize their own marriages, to bury their own dead, and to be exempted from contributions towards other religioni. The hon. member expressed his full concurrence in the prayer of the petition. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS said he had been requested to sup port the petition, which he most cordially did, as he was fully convinced of the justice of the claims of the dissenters to be delivered from the grievances under which they at present laboured. Mr. SINCLAIR said that it might bring the dissenters into unpleasant collision with the members of the established church, if they were allowed to perform the ceremonies of their own religion at the burial of their dead in the same church-yard, and at the same moment, as the ministers of the church of England. Mr. O'CONNELL said the prayer of the petitioners was not without a precedent, and he could state that in Ireland the most extensive inconvenience would arise to many if they were prevented from adopting the course which the present petitioners prayed for. With respect to churchyards, history told them that they were placed in the immediate neighbour. hood of the churches, in order that persons going to mass might pray for the dead. This was now done away with, and he thought it would be a much better regulation if the churchyards were removed from the midst of the population, and each persuasion were allowed to have its own burial ground. He did not agree with the hon. member who spoke last, that it would give rise to any battling or contention if dissenters were allowed to bury their dead according to their own rights, and he thought it only just that those who had been separated during life should also be separated in death. The prayer of the petition was very mode. rate, and ought not to be treated with slight; he must, however, say that if the petitioners had asked more they would have been more likely to get it. Mr. BROTHERTON said he held it a good maxim to grant graciously what they were about to grant, and he thought it also fair that nothing should be required but what was just and reasonable. He hoped that, in pursuance of such a course, the grievances of the dissenters would be redressed in a great measure. After a few words from Mr. BAINES and Mr. O'Diriee, in support of the petition, it was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. P. THOMSON presented petitions from the Baptist congregation of York street chapel, Manchester, from the uni. tarian congregation, and from the general baptists of Dover, praying for the removal of the disabilities affecting dissenters. The right hon. gentleman also presented a petition from the medical practitioners of Manchester, praying for relief from the present state of the law affecting them.—Referred to the committee on medical abuses. Also a petition from the same place in favour of the Wigan Branch Railway Company Bill.— Referred to the committee. CORN LAWS—TITHES. Lord MORPETH presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of land of Selby, in the county of York, expressing their alarm at the attempts made for a repeal of the corn laws. The petitioners assured the house that such repeal would pro duce the most ruinous consequences to agriculturists. They complained also of the oppressive nature of the tithe system, and prayed the house to adopt some measure to relieve them from their burdens without risking the value of agricultural produce, and to take the tithes into consideration, with a view to effect an equitable commutation. With the last prayer he fully concurred, but it would be known from the opinions he had already stated that he could not support the first. Mr. CAYLEY supported both the prayers of the petitioners. DISSENTERS. Lord MORPETH presented petitions from the dissenters of HickmondwYke, from a parish in Halifax, from the dissenters of Thornton, from the deacons and members of the Indepen dent congregation of Hoxton Academy Chapel, and from the Protestant dissenters of Great Hamerton, York, praying for the removal of dissenters' disabilities. The last named peti tion made some specific complaints of exaction for burial fees by clergymen in the neighbourhood. His lordship expressed Mr. D. GASKELL presented a petition from the dissenters of Dewsbury, praying for relief from the disabilities under which they laboured, the appropriation of church property to the reduction of the national debt, the abolition of all tithes and Easter offerings, and a complete separation from church and state. The hon. member stated that he concurred most cordially with the first part of the petition, considering that the Dissenters ought to be relieved from, the particular grievances under which they laboured. With the latter part of it he begged to be distinctly understood that he could not concur. Lord MORPETH trusted that in the observations he was about to make, he should not be considered as wishing to screen the abuses df the churdh establishment, or a desire to de. prive the Dissenters of reasonable relief. The petition that had just been presented by his hon. friend had no doubt met with the approbation and concurrence of many of the inhabitants of the district from which it proceeded; but he begged to say that it went much further than the usual tenor of such petitions. He had been requested by some ofthe inhabitants of this place, more than 1,500 in number, comprising a great portion of the wealth of the parish, to state that a declaration was in course of signature of attachment to the established church. Mr. GASKELL presented a petition to the same effect from the Baptist congregation of Bickerstone, Yorkshire. TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE. The honourable member said he had another petition to present from certain inhabitants of the borough of Wakefield, praying that the house would take measures to investigate the conduct of the governor and affairs of the gaol of that town, towards an individual who had been con victed and imprisoned for selling unstamped publications, and praying for the reduction of the penalty which had been imposed on him. The hon. member expressed a hope that the taxes on knowledge would be speedily done away with. Colonel WILLIAMS presented a petition from the borough of Ashton-under-Lyne, praying for relief. They prayed for a separation of the church from the state, and they alleged as their reasons that human regulation ought to be confined to secular affairs, and that civil governments had no right whatever to dictate any form of worship ; that the kingdom of God was not of that world, and that man was accountable to God alone for his religious belief; that a National Church Establishment was Anti-Christian, and that the petitioners should not be compelled to support a system which inflicted injury without conferring any benefit — (Hear)—that the exaction of tithes in Ireland at the point of the bayonet, and the increasing claims of the clergy of England had,degraded both religion and its professed Mi nisters, and it should be put an end to. The petitioners stated that 2,500 children were receiving the benefit of a religious education, while the Established Church of the same district had no such pretensions to put forward. Mr. HARDY said it was quite unnecessary for the hon. member to quote passages from Scripture in order to show that the great founder of our religion did not approve of church establishments connected with the State. They were aware that, upon a solemn occasion—when he had appeared before Pilot, he was charged with with attempting to set up a temporal government against that of Cmsar ; and when asked if such was his object, he replied, that his kingdom was not of that world. But it never could be inferred that he said that his religion could not be con nected with the kingdoms of this world ; for he had said that " Kings should be a nursing father, and Queens a nursing mother." Mr. RUTHVEN, senior, thought that the scriptures ought nokto be introduced in that house, but he had no objection to a respectful allusion in the prayer of a petition. He thought that the interests of religion had been much injured by con nection with temporal establishments. Colonel WILLIAMS said that he would present one more petition from the Independents of Aehton.under-Line. He would not enter into the contents of it, but he should read the last clause. In that the party dwelt upon their exclusion from the English universities. He, as soon as the return of the uni. versities could be obtained, should move for an address to his Majesty to do away with the edict of James 1., which excluded the dissenters from the benefit of an university educa. tion. Mr. LLOYD WATKINS presented a petition from the bap. tists of Llangollen. Mr. WILKS presented four petitions from Birmingham. The hon. gentleman proceeded to make some remarks at length upon the subject matter of the petitions. In Birmingham there were thirty-two dissenting chapels, and only thirteen of the protestant established church. There were '12,000 chil. dren educated by the dissenters, and only 4,000 by the church in that town.—(Cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") He had been instructed that the dissenters of Birmingham during the last twenty years had raised by voluntary contribu tions, for the purpose of religious instruction and education, not less than 450,0001., and that they were now paying for the same purpose 35,0001. a year, thus affording splendid demon. strations of their advance in religion and knowledge.—The petitions, which were from New Hall-street Chapel, Graham street Chapel, Lombard street Chapel, and Oxford-street Cha pel, all in Birmingham, were ordered to lie on the table. Mr. WILKS then presented a petition from the President, Tutors, and Students of Horton College, in the county of York, which, besides adverting to the general subjects of corn,. plaint by Dissenters, complained of their improper exclusion from the honours and emoluments of the two great Universities, the whole of which, excepting in one or two instances, they stated were national property, and, therefore, that they ought to beopen to all classes of his Majesty's subjects. —(Hear, hear.) It seemed to him extremely unjust that dis senters should be excluded from those establishments when it was known that many of the school books used in them were produced by protestant dissenters.--(Hear, hear, hear.) The Reverend Dr. Walsh, who was a man of great literary attainments, and who wrote some of those books, found himself excluded from the honours of the Universities, but Scotland valued his acquirements, and two of the Universities of that country sent him diplomas. So also with Dr. Pye Smith, whose books were used at Cambridge, and who was unable to obtain that honour, which was readily granted him by America. The hon. member related several instances of a similar kind. Mr. HARDY bore testimony to the great respectability of the petitioners, and said if the petition had been forwarded to him, he should have felt great pleasure in presenting it. Mr. WILKS said he had sent a petition from dif ferent religious denominations of South Molton, in De. vohshire. With regard to the petitions, of which he had five or six to present from Devonshire, he must state that the petitioners had intended to forward them to their county members, but they felt themselves so much disgusted (if he might use the term) at the bill which had been introduced by the noble Paymaster of the Forces that they refused to entrust that noble lord with them. Mr" BULTEEL said that he had the greatest pleasure in stating that the disgust alluded to by the hon. member was by no means universal, and that a vast body of the Dissenters in Devonshire were not only reasonable, but so much so as to disarm all opposition, and to make him for one desirous to see their grievances redressed. _ _ WILKS presented similar petitions from Peterafield (Hants), Whitehall Heath (Worcestershire), Alvechurch and Kingsnorton (Worcestershire), Whitechurch (Shropshire), City of Lichfield and from a Chapel in Henrietta-street, Brunswick-square. Mr. BAINES said he had a number of petitions to present from the Protestant Dissenters of different places, all of them complaining of the grievances under which they laboured ; and though there was no prayer in the petitions upon the subject of the separation of church and state, yet he knew that for the most part they had a strong objection to it. They were not, as suggested by an hon. member, afraid to avow that they did not approve of the connection, but at the same time they did not make it a part of their complaints, as it could not be fairly said to arise from the grievances they laboured under. They claimed an equal participation of civil privileges with the rest of their fellow subjects, and would never be satis fied till a full participation was granted them. He begged leave to state one very important fact, that one congregation in Leeds had, within the last ten years, contributed not less than 13,0001. for the support of their own religion. This was a proof that they had no disposition to participate in the revenues of the church, or to shrink from any obligations for the purpose of supporting their own religion. The hon. member then pre sented petitions from a dissenting chapel in Queen-street, Leeds ; from a baptist congregation in Lockwood, near Hud. dersfield ; from Milford, in Yorkshire; from Holme, in Lan: cashire ; from Haresley, in Lancashire; from Barnard, in Yorkshire ; from Ebenezer chapel, in Bewdley ; and from in Dorsetshire ; all praying for redress of grievances. Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from the Protes. tant Dissenters of Pendlebury, in the county of Lancaster, praying for relief from the disabilities at present affecting them. Mr. HALL presented a petition from the ratepayers of Marylebone (Middlesex), complaining of the pressure of the sewer rates. • REPEAL--TITHES--REFORM, Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the apothecaries of Galway, which was referred to the Committee on Medical Abuses; from Ballymore Eustace, and Hollywood, the Catholic Union of Tagmon (Wexford), Blackditches, and other places, praying for a repeal of the union ; also a petition from the Presbyterians of the Grange of Kildalla, and the liber ties of Coleraine, praying for the total abolition of tithes ; and one to the same effect from the Catho. lie Union of Tagmon, Also, one from Donaghadee, in the county Down to the same effect. A petition from West Auckland, praying for an extension of the Reform Bill. A pe tition from the operative coopers of Dublin fora repeal of the union. A petition from the parish of Tamoline (Wexford) in favour of repeal; from the landholders of Kilrush, in Wex. ford, for the abolition of tithes; and also one from the gold and silversmiths of Dublin, praying ior the repeal of the unioh. The hon. member also presented a petition frinn St. Mary, New Ross, Wexford, for the repeal of the Union ; also a petition from Longwood in the county of Meath, of a similar nature, and similar petitions from parishes in Down and Wexford. in moving that the petitions should lie on the table, the hon member stated that the females of Dublin had requested to be allowed to put their names to the petition, such was the feeling that existed upon the subject. Mr. P. SCROPE said that, with reference to the signatures of the females of Dublin, he wished to call the attention of the house to a letter he had received from Dr. White, the physi. cian to the Leek hospital, drawing a most dreadful picture of the state of many of the females in that city. The honour able member proceeded to read the letter, which gave a most deplorable statement of the dreadful and forlorn condition of many of the females of Dublin. He would ask the house, after such a statement, if it could be believed that such misery could exist in a civilized country, or under a civilized Govern ment ?—(Hear.) . Mr. O'CONNELL bore testimony to the respectability of the gentleman from whom the letter came. The statement was not in the least exaggerated, for every part of it was per fectly true. In one parish containing 5,000 inhabitants, he was assured by a gentleman of respectability that there was only one blanket for every four individuals. Formerly there was more than a million of money spent annu. ally in Dublin. When the Parliament had sat there no city in the world supported so many or such extensive cha rities as Dublin, and he thoughtthat they were justified,in such a state of things, in asking for leave to legislate for themselves. There should be some enactments for preventing persons with large properties, spending it year after year in other countries. He thought that poor laws would not effectually relieve thedis tress existing in Ireland, as they had in England complaints on all sides of the operation of the poor laws. Mr. LAMBERT admitted that very great distress did exist in Ireland, but he differed with the hon. and learned member for Dublin iri his position, that the repeal of the union would do away with that distress. All the Irish people wanted was employment, and as to absenteeism, he asserted that the agita tion of a certain party had banished all those of the great landed proprietors who were not the supporters of that party. Mr. RUTHVEN asked whether it was, after thirtysthree years, that the people of England should be compelled to trust still longer to a foreign legislature. The Irish Parliament was one of a faction. It was not fair to refer to the proceed. ings of that 'Parliament, because it was under the con trol of an ascendant party.—(Hear, hear.) He was against the introduction of poor laws into Ireland. Absenteeism was the great evil of Ireland—it ought to be visited with some heavy penalty, in the hope to correct it. LAW OF LIBEL. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Rye, county of Sussex, complaining of the law of libel, and adverting to the case of Mr. Cohen, of the Brighton Guardian. Mr. EWART agreed with the hon. and learned member for Dublin in the remarks that he made. Mr. O'DWYER thought that the present hour of sitting was an unfit one for parliament. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that he would present two petitions on next Friday, one from the poor fishermen of Blackrock, Dublin, another for the making of a railroad between Kingstown and Dublin. Mr. BRODIE presented two petitions from protestant dis senters, one from Scott's-lane, Salisbury, and another from the same city. Mr. W. WHITMORE presented a petition from the protes tant dissenters of the borough of Wolverhampton, for a redress of grievances. He supported its prayer. He also presented a petition from Sedge ley, complaining of the beer laws, and one from the same place, for the better observance of the Sabbath; also one to the same effect from Wolverhampton. Mr. FRYER supported the dissenters' petitions. Mr. PARROTT presented a petition from Tetness, praying a redress of grievances under which the Dissenters laboured. Also, a petition from the parish of Moreley, in the county of Devon, to the same effect. Mr. BULTEEL supported their prayer. Mr. EWART presented a petition from the Scotch Bap tists of Liverpool to the same effect. Also, comprising a prayer for a separation of the Church from the State, such a con. nection—in the opinion of the petitioners—being con trary to the doctrines of Christianity.—(Hear.) They complained that his Majesty's ministers did not step forward to remedy all the grievances the Dissenters laboured under. He also presented two petitions from the English and Scotch medical practitioners in the same town, praying for an alteration in the law regarding the practice of medicine. He had also a petition from Birkenhead, in the county of Chester, for a re form in the Church, and a petition from two inhabitants of Liverpool, William Parkinson and Samuel Evans, complaining of the appointment by government of strangers to all the go vermnent offices in Liverpool. Colonel SEALE presented a petition from the farmers of Brigstock, complaining of the reciprocity duties, and also a petition from Dartmouth, in support of the Es tablished Church. The same honourable member 'pre sented a petition from the dissenters of Dartmouth, pray ing for the removal of their disabilities. It being three o'clock, the SPEAKER left the Chair. ASSIZES-(RECEIVED THIS DAY). MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LINceLN, MARCH 11 CHARLESWORTH, M.D. V. MIDGARD, This was an action to recover penalties for the violation of an Act of Parliament. Mr. BALGUY and Mr. HILL conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Sergeant ADLMS and Mr. ADIOS the defendant's. It appeared that, in the year 1828, an Act of Parliament was passed for paving, lighting, watching, and otherwise im. proving the city of Lincoln, and for the better regulation of the town. Certain Commissioners were delegated to see that the various provisions were duly executed, of which body the plaintiff and defendant were members. Section 13 of the Act enacted that no person should be capable of acting in the execution of the Act who was interested in any manner with thematters that should beadjudicated upon, under the penalty of 1001. for every such offence. In the month of July, 1833, at a meeting of the commissioners, an order was made, that the occupiers of premises along a certain footpath should lay down flag-stones, with a four inch curb. The de fendant, as one of the occupiers, was made liable by this order. Instead, however, of complying with it, he convened a special meeting of the commissioners, when that order was rescinded. It was for the penalty that he incurred by voting on that occasion that the present action was brought. The clerk to the commissioner was called, who proved that on the day in question thirty-two commissioners assembled. When a ballot took place there appeared twenty-one in favour of the order being rescinded, ten against it,and a neutral ball. Notice was then given to defendant that the penalty would be enforced against him. On the cross-examination it was endea voured to be proved that the footpath alluded to did not fall within the description stated in the act, that it was a matter extra-judicial, therefore the defendant was not guilty of the alleged violation. It was contended also, it being a penal case, that it was imperative on the plaintiff to prove that the defendant had voted, by calling the different commis sioners to state how they acted. That in the absence of such evidence it was but fair to presume that however strongly in. clined in the first instance the defendant might have been to vote in favour of his motion, that afterwards, on an intima tion that legal proceedings wouldbe commenced he might have changed his mind, and put in the neutral ball. Legal points were also submitted on the construction of the several clauses of the act, which were reserved for the consideration of the Court above. His Lordship summed up the case, and, after a short delibe. ration, the Jury found a verdict for the defendant. KING'S THEATRE. Semiramide was produced here last night for the purpose of introducing to an English audience two new candidates for public favour, Madame Kynterland and Mademoiselle Salvi. The former was from the Teatro San Carlos, Naples, where she has been considered a respectable prima donna. Her voice is a pure soprano, rather too shrill, and wanting breadth of tone. Her execution in many passages was neat, and her acting in almost every scene appropriate. She is a fine woman, but she will make but an indifferent substitute of Pasta. Salvi is a superior singer; she possesses a contr'alto voice of remarkable richness, and her clear decisive intonation brought out its fine qualities with exquisite effect. She will be an acquisition, for not only is her voice a valuable one, but she evidently knows how to use it to the greatest advantage. Both in the solo pas sages and in the concerted pieces the tone was produced with a mellowness that was highly relished by the audience. We would wish that Mademoiselle Salvi possessed a little more free dom of gesticulation. She personated the character of Arsace, and, except a little stiffhess of manner, her performance was everything we could wish. The opera was exceedingly well arranged, the choruses excellent, and the orchestra perfect. The ballet of La Bayadere followed, in which, independently of its other attractions, we had the pleasure of witnessing a new pas de deux, danced by Taglioni and Duvernay. The latter has improved much since we last saw her, and although no imi tator of her fair contemporary, she has studied in the same school (the best which exists), and we beheld in their exertions the perfection of the art. There cannot, perhaps, be a better exemPlificdtion of the poetry of motion than this dance. The ballet has been produced with more than usual attention. A woma n calle I Poll Stokes, th e r i va l o f Lady Barr y more in drinking gin and kickirg watchmen, was charged with having amused herself on the preceding day in both her old practices. A policeosan. on Monday, at 10 o'clock, found the pri soner in Houndsditch as drunk as ever lady was. Know ing what an out and outer she WO, be advised her to go home, but she immediately sat across the pavement and swore that stir she would not for dog or devil. He then attempted to remove her, hot she gave bhn a tremendous kicking and was with difficulty strapped limb to limb and carried to prison. The LORD AiA YOR—Wbat shall I do with this woman? She is almost a weekly visiter, and has been very often in irison ; hut it appears that neither entreaty, nor threat, nor prison has any tact upon her. Mr. Hcblcr—Well, Mrs. Stokes, would you like to !ti to Britlewell ? Defendant—Oh dear no, Sir. Let me IT this time, and I'm blest if ever I get lumpy again. You see, Mr. nobler, a very little drop catches hold of ine. Formerly I used to be able to flare up with a glass .vith anybody, whether it was a he or a she, but now it is melancholy to see what a trifle flummox,* me.—(A laugh.) The Loan MAYOR—Then you ought not to take even that trifle. Mr. Holder—Sa l t is the state to which she has re-f ',Weed herself by habitual irrtoxication, that very soon, i she happens only to pass a girt step, she will fall down , trunk.—(A laugh, in which the deftrolant joined heartily.) The LORD MAYOR said, that if the wretched woman would obtain pardon of the officer whom she had mat treated, and promise to wage war against her ancient tuemy, she should be discharged this time. Defendant— I will, my loud, promise that I'll never get chunk again. What words shall I use—shall I swear it? The LORD AIAToe.—No ; we will have no oaths. Defendant—Well, then, upon my honour, my lord.— (Laughter. HATTON GARDEN NOCTURNAL FLARE-UP.—Yesterday, Mary Myers and Ann Broufn, young women of interesting appearance, ex ,ravae,antly attired with flashy green bonnets, long veils, muff., and boas, and whose painted countenances and spots indicated that they took exquisite pains to consult the tiolet of Flora, were charged with baring crested a disturbance y at an early hour yesterday morning. A policeman, yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock, was passing through Wilmington-squarv, Clerkenwell, when his attention was arrested by the me.. !odious strains of two female voices, who were eineug the Light Guitar, and although they harmonised sweetly together, still the music was calculated to disturb ti e slumbering inhabitants. The ladies proceeded from one tune to the other until witness went to the opposite side of the square and requested them to desist, which they re fused to do, and told him to mind his own business, they would do as they thought proper; and he took them to the station-house, where they were locked up. Mr. Sergeant SELLON asked the young ladies who and what they were, and what they had to say for themselves ? _ _ _ . —Miss Myers, who hung down her bead and affected great modesty, said, "We are respectable persons, your Worship, and reside in the neighbourhood where we were taken by the policeman. We are milliners. The fact is," said Miss Myers, "my friend and myself were invited to a christen ing, and on leaving the party we went to a dance in the neighbourhood of Wiltnington-square, where our partners insisted upon our taking some negus, which exhilarated our spirits, and on quitting the ball-room •we were pro ceeding towards our own homes, bumming a tune on the road, when a fellow exclaimed, "Flare up, my flames," and our resentment to the insult caused some confusion, when the constable came up, ordered us on, and took us into custody. lam exceedingly sorry I have given any offence." Mr. Sergeant SELLON recommended the ladies in fu ture to rese:ve their musical abilities for a more appro priate situation than the public streets, or they would subject themselves to another apprehension and confine ment in the station-house, and he discharged them. MARLBOROUGB-STREET. A DAINTY CIMINEYSWICEP.-412 old couple, named Parry, living in Thomas -street, who have for the last thirty years practised all the mysteries of the sable science of chimney-sweeping, and who have always borne a very excellent character for the kinds's:is with which they treat those young aspirants to the honour of the brush and bag confided to their care, brought Thomas Hinkman, a sturdy little rogue, before Messrs. CONANT and COAX.. BERS, for having absconded from their employ. The wife, in consequence of the deafness of her old man, set forth the manifold enormities from time to time com mitted by the sooty delinquent, vowing that for " howda ciousness and himperance be banged all as ever she seed afore, by chalks." For a quarter of a century her old man had specially attended to the chimbleys of the nobility and gentry in Grosvenor-square, and had acquired much reputation therefrom : but his character bad well nigh been lost by the wilful neglect of the young urchin, who, on being sent to perform an operation on a chimney, in the residence of Lord Beauchamp, absolutely ne 4lected to attend, and thus exposed his master to the danger of losing his lordship's patronage. In addition to this ill_conduct the boy had also a little penchant for pilfering, and, amongst other, offences, she Lad been obliged ti, keep him a week on bread and water, because she bad discovered one Sunday, when preparing to take up the dinner, that the leg of mutton had vanished from the pot, and that the prisoner knew best how this had occurred. Ile had latterly chosen to run away entirely, and therefore she wished to have some pubishment in- Mr. CONANT—WeII, bay, what do you say for run ning away from your master; why did you leave him? Boy—'Cause Bill Smithery, our foreman, is always a vhopping me about with the shovel, end 'cause master hit me rich a precious punch on Sunday arternoon, for nothing as I know'd on. Mr. CowAvT—Was the boy struck, as he has stated ? —Mrs. Parry—Lard bless thee! My old man just tipped him on the cheek for laughing at the dinner. Mr. CONANT-What did you have for dinner?—We bad a lovely bit of salt beef and lots of taterQ, and beauti ful br,,coli sprouts, which we are all werry fond on ; but tny young master there, I suppose, didn't think it was just good enough for him. Boy—There's 'totber boy seed master whop me. Mr. CONANT directed the other boy to be sent for, and when he arrived asked him what sort of a tap it was the prisoner received ? Boy—lt warn't a hard 'en. Mr. CHAMBERS—WeII, what was it then ? Boy— Vy it was a soft 'on. It was so weary soft it wouldn't have knocked a fly off on him. The magistrates, professing themselves quite satisfied that the defendant had no cause of complaint against his master, committed him to the House of Correction for a month.

TRANSFERENCE OF VLTAL POWER.---•A not uncommon cause of loss of vital power is the young sleeping with the aged. This fact, however explained, has been long remarked, and is well known to every un prejudiced observer. But it has be en ably overlooked in medicine. I have on several ec,tssions met with the counterpart of t he followin g case :—I w as , id to no specifict five ailment, m or e n. most a ut gave a few yeas since, consulte d about a p ale, sickl y , an d thin of b re markable decline of flesh and strength, and of th e energy boy, of all the functions — what his mother very aptly termed about but t a t rs h e of r e l av as a slow and ge. He p uepaecacrn gradual blight. After inquiring into the history of the case, it came out th it he had been a very robust and plethoric child up to his third year, when his grand mother, a very aged person, took him to sleep with her ; that he soon afterwards lost his good looks ; and that he had continued to decline progressively ever since, not. withstanding medical treatment. I directed him to sleep apart from his aged parent, and prescribed tonics, change of air, &c. The recovery was rapid. But it is not in children only that debility is induced by this mode of abatracting vital power. Young females married to very o!cl men suffer in a similar manner, though not to the same extent. These facts are often well known to the aged them se l ves , w h o cons id er th e indulgence f a vourah'e to longevity, and thereby often illustrate the sclii,{ ness which, in some persons, increases with their years —D r . al land's Dict. of Prod. Medicine.
