When the mea '!tre was under consideration the noble lord doubtless would r ecollect he (Lord Althorp) expressed himself favourable to the pri nc ipl e of certificates ; but the opinion of the ma [ ority of the committee from which it emanated, as well !.s of the government, being that no obstacles should i iuterfere to prevent the setting up of beer-shops, i- great relance being plackid ih the eilicieficY of the 1 . Kee regiiltitioiis for the prevention of abuse, his re rOhlmendations were neglected, and the measure which ;t was now found necessary to amend became law. Such being the case, it was scarcely necessary for him to say he was ready to take into consideration the proposition of the hon. member for Kent, which, in substance, at least, if ot in wo r d s , em b o di e d t h e recommendations he alluded to. ' W hile, however, he gave his assent to the principle on 'Touch the measure was founded, he begged to be under st°od as not assenting altogether to the details of the bill. „, -!() Many of them he was favourable, but there were some ~n t hers which, he thought, might easily undergo improve oteht. He would, however, follow the example of the other hon. members, and reserve the consideration of those he until the proper period arrived. Before concluding "e was anxious to express the satisfaction it gave him to And the hon. baronet undertaking the ditty of introducing the measure. At the period of its introduction he did not hesitate to admit that the Government were divided upon the Point as to what measure would be most expedient, and !" Was some relief to them to find the subject taken up by an Individual so perfectly competent to the task as the hon. P qronet in whose hands it now stood. (Cheers.), Mr. RICHARDS supported the motion for the second -- L e kdint. of the bill. He had been instructed by several " I ntecturing towns in the north of England to express ! c onviction that the objects of the present bill would be t in every respect better attained by the simple means of „ r !ising the licenses to Si. or to 71., or by raising the value r the houses to which licenses should be granted. He ob neted to the bill's leaving it to the option of neighbours to sign certificates. 'This he was sure would be found to be quite inefficacious. ,• Mr. ROEBUCK said one of the grounds for bringing islri this bill was an assertion that since the present law had existed there had been an increase of crime ; but if this • ivere the case he denied that there had been any proof of a connection between this increase and the establishment of ..,. ' • • r shops. A coincidence of events was not always cause d effect, for they very often had no reference whatever :.= . each other. Crimes were not produced by beer houses - i r by any localities, for if men were bent upon crimes and Could not congregate in beer shops they would even con gregate in churches or churchyards rather than be deterred L • Rom their purpose. H e was o f op i n i on t h at li cense d vie ,allers ought to be put under all the restrictions which I Were imposed upon the beer shops. (Hear, hear.) ' t ,' Mr. A.

He was happy to see that there were only two , three gentlemen that could be found in the house to 1 ,leny the v i ce and misery which the present . system pro duced am ongs t th e poor o f every sort. The hon. member or Bath h a d ta lk e d o f t h e delicacy and difficulty of inter fering with the poor ; but-he would tell that hon. member that it was for the benefit of the poorer classes, an „ (1 for that alone, that the house was called t iP ° ' to legislate in the present instance. He denied that the industrious portion of the labourers in ~,,`- ` 3 lle s were in favour of the beer shops, and he had Lamds for expressing his belief that nine out of ten of 1, - o ''' Men had made complaints of this very system. The ~.,_n • member for Somerset had presented a petition from a rinsh containing, he believed, 2,000 inhabitants, and 220 f o r wome n h a d s i gne d t h a t p et iti on , ea rnestly praying the _ O use to remove suc h places, and thus to restore to them h~e of th e com f orts w hi c h t h ey use d to en j oy b e f ore t h e i r te ,bands had such resorts in which they could be tempted h„ ; _- wse their time and di ss ipat e th e i r mone y.

It was the duty of thath "use to attend to the subject, and not to allow the nui tee to exist beynd the present session.

The hon. gentleman would simply state the facts of the case to the ; n isei satisfied that th ey were i n themselves sufficiently ; r °og to induce a ready compliance with his motion. In %7 aa embargo was laid on 107 Danish ships lying in the ' PO atnes. These vessels and their cargoes were sold, and Po unds proceeds, amounting to twelve hundred thousand „, became droits of Admiralty. The Danish govern het. in retaliation, laid an embargo on the debts due by I n e Perchants of that country to the merchants of Eng oaeTite , jhe answer of the then ministers to the demands pea ce government was, " Wait a while—wait till band e d s Proclaimed, and these droits shall be at once alsc been i n li qu id a ti on o f y ou r claims." They had th at given to understand, before the treaty of Vienna, to '''' e special clause would be introduced into it, in order , i, tisreote. and secure their rights. From that day to the t .tt e eni nt t hour justice had not been dome—not even been Poed—the droits had remained where they originally W h.!_ re -.. r ,perhaps been expended, and not one claim had o ce.n liquidated.

Lord SANDON, s;:eing the noble lord the Se c retary for Foreign Affairs in his, place, would ask bias whether any treaties had been entered into with certain transatlantic states respecting clams which British subjects had upon th em ? He should also be most desirous to learn whether any remonstrance had been made to Monte Video concern ing the extensive traffic in slaves which it was alleged was carried on - tinder its protection ? Lord PALMERSTON would assure the noble lord that the subject alluded to had not escaped the attention of his Majesty's government. Instructions had been sent out to our consuls at Peru and Chili to take the necessary steps ; and with respect to Monte Video, it was certainly lamen table to consider that a state that had so recently ob ittined its freedom should forget its sacred laws and engage in so profligate a trade t 3 that 'f slavery. It was carried on by those trafficking in sugar; but the British govern ment would do all that in there lay to put an end to its abominations. Lord SANDON expressed himself satisfied with the ex planation of the noble lord. COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. LYNCH rose to bring forward his promised mo tion respecting the Court of Chancery, bnt was inter rupted by Alr. O'CONNELL, who would put it to the lion. and learned gentleman whether, at that hour of the night, and with so thin an attendance, a question of such importance ought to be brought before the house? Mr. LYNCH could not agree in the suggestion of the hon. and learned gentleman, and proceeded to introduce his motion. He was understood to say that the question had been before the House of Lords, but the proceedings of the committee who had sat upon it were not known. A bill had been sent down to the House of Commons in July last, but such bill was liable to many objections. In the first place, no witnesses had been examined but parties per sonally interested—clerks and o ffi cers of the court—whose evidence could' not embrace the topics which the full inves tigation of such a subject must naturally bring forward. The evils complained of were of long duration, and the remedies sought to be applied had signally failed. What had they done? Had they removed this abuse, or changed that oppressive impost? No, they had not. The great expense—the heart-rending delay—still existed. The Master's office was, as usual, slow in its proceedings, and the costs of appeal were as equally high. The evil was great, and the remedy ought to be in accordance with its magnitude. He wished to bring forward such a remedy for the consideration of parliament as would render . that an efficient court in which he had the honour to practise. It might be considered invidious in hini to institute comparisons between the different judges who had held the seals. The present Lord Chancellor had heard more cases than his predecessor, but Lord Eldon had decided upon a greater number of motions brought before him. From the beginning of 1831 to the beginning of 1832 the Lord Chancellor had disposed of 231 cases. From the same period for 1832 to 1833, only 109 were disposed of ; but this great difference could be accounted for thus :—ln the first-mentioned period he had used the greatest exertion, and had sat and laboured so incessantly that his health was seriously endangered. When he ob tained the seals he found 101 appeals before the House of Lords, which he had reduced to 50. Now appeals were only taken which had been of five years' standing. (Hear. ) He would instance One or two eases. In the case of Cayle and Palmer, which had been bought forward on the sth March, 1830, a hearing had not been got till February, 1832. Sir Edward Sugden was then heard at some length, but nothing further was done till February, 1833. What misery and heart-burnings must the parties interested have suffered during, to them, these eventful years ! What pangs of hope deferred, and justice postponed ! But this was not a singular instance of the dreadful procrastina tion of the court. In the case of Lewis and Morgan, the briefs were delivered to counsel in 1830, but the case was still undecided. The case of Green and Jackson had been brought forward in 1819. It was heard in June, 1828 ; but the Chancellor said he would not pronounce a decision upon it till the analogous one of ;Aldred and Parke had been decided. The case to the preunt moment had not been finally approached, and Green and Jackson were in the same state as at the commencement. So much for property ; but when the liberty of the subject was at stake, it might be presumed there would be greater quick ness and despatch. But no ! that did not even accelerate its pace. Appeals as usual lingered. In the case of the King versus Redford Rowe a writ of error Was moved for and obtained, but no heating was had, and the wretched man had remained five years in custody. Ought that to have been permitted ? • Ought the liberty of the subject to he thus jeopardised ? The great mistake was that in 1819, when a Vice-Chancellor had been appointed, and an effi cient court of appeal had not been established, Sir Samuel Romilly and Sir John Leach, much to their praise, were in favour of such a court, but the golden opportunity had been lost. The hon. and learned gentleman then proceeded to enter into a detail of the various attempts made to re= form the Court, and said, among others, he could notavoid mentioning the bill introduced by Sir Edward Sugden, which had been read a second time, and whose further progress had been stopped by the demise of the late King. When Lord Brougham was elevated to the Bench, the highest expectations were formed, but he unfortunately fell into a great error by adopting the suggestion of the hon. member for Sudbury. He consented to separate the bankruptcy jurisdiction from the Lord Chancellor's, than which nothing could have been more fatal. There should have been no separation. But a bill was introduced by Lord Brougham, which passed the House of Lords, and was sent down to the Commons during the fever of the Reform Bill, and carried. The Court of Review was thus established, which signally failed, and showed an other striking example of the evil of legislating in a hur ried and precipitate manner. To balance the disappoint ment thus arising, he would refer to the commissioners and official assignees, who had fully answered the pur poses of those who had created their officers. The hon. and learned gentleman next went on to eulogise the Lord Chancello: for his reducing the fees of his court, but he contended that the only full and comprehensive remedy that could be applied to evils of a pressing and most com plicated description, would be to separate the judicial from 'the political functions of the Chancellor. In proposing that legal- divorce, if he might so use the term, he felt himself open to be taunted with wishing to trench too closely on the royal prerogative. Such was not his inten tion ; the Crown would still have the power of appoint ment ; but, even if the taunt could be successfully di rected, he would not shrink from its approach. His ; ap proach upon the.domains of the prerogative, would be only to have prompt and efficient justice administered. The pre sent system was at most but a mockery. In English appeals, the appeal was from Caesar to Caesar, from an English Chancellor to an English Chancellor. Lord Brougham feel ingly lamented this necessity imposed upon him, and was heard recently to state that he would not proceed till he had the assistance of Lord Plunket : Thus an Irish judge was called upon for aid, who could not give it without injuring the suitors of his own court. Was not such a monstrous and an anomalous system ? (Cries of " Hear, hear.") Hi s (Mr. Lynch s) plan would be to have a court consti tuted equal to any business that might be brought before it. That court he would have formed thus :—The Chan cellor should sit aided by four of the best lawyers that could be found in the respective walks of the profession. There should be one equity lawyer, one common lawyer, one Scotch advocate, and one civil lawyer. It might be, then, popularly said he was looking for the creation of new Judges. True he was ; but he was at the same time look ing for the abolition of others. He would put an end to one court that was useless, for the creation of another that would meet the claims that would lie on its justice. The Chancellor of England, no matter how deep and pene trating his mind—how profound his learning—how clear his thoughts, could not always command them. The business was too much for one ; in fact, even his know ledge could not be acquired in the proper field. A man might be a Chancellor who never practised in a court of equity. He would have a bar for the Court he spoke of ; a bar so efficient, that the suitors would be at no loss to find able hands in which to intrust their briefs. He would do away with the present system altogether. The learned Solicitor-General might smile, and say it was the consum mation of the wisdom of ages. Still he would relieve the Chancellor from his present too onerous duties, and have him ably assisted. Let the house for a moment re flect on the multiplicity and varied nature of his dlie:aieesid.t deliberations. r r aa s t t tt , ieon a as .OLn oN dt r Chancellor, he sat in his Court. d their t ' as Priv y Councillor, he was bound to assist at all Next, as baoaCoad to binet read Cou t n h c e illor,he ga Recor der's report.

When the committee were appoint e d, i t would be for them to consider whether there ought to b e an intermediate Court of Appeal ; and if so, whether that Court should consist of only one judge, or of more than one judge. He thought there should be such a Court, and that it should consist of more than one judge, but he should decidedly object to judges being judges in any other Court. If there were an intermediate Court of Appeal, it ought to consist of a separate set of judges. If the committee should be of opinion that no intermediate Court of Appeal were ne cessary, it would be then for them to consider whether it would be advisable to appoint another judge in t h e Court of Chanc ery . His opinion was most decidedly in favour of such an appointment. Nothing could be more injuri ous to suitors than the delay which invariably occurred in this Court between the time his case was set down for hear ing, and the time it was actually heard. The extent of this delay in the Court of Chancery was generally nine months, never less than eight. And when the suitor's case comes on for hearing, he was very little nearer his object. After waiting about two or three months, his case was sent to some master's o ffi ce for further directions, and it was generally a long year before the report was returned from the master's office. Even this was not the termination of the unhappy suitor's delays ; and, in short, a chancery suitor very seldom arrived at the decision on his ease till some two or three years, or himself, have expired; nor did the matter always end even with the last-mentioned con tingency ' • for even after a man's death, supplemental bills might be filed against his estate, the proceedings on whi c h were as lengthened as the former. The hon. and, learned gentleman mentioned a case in which no less than, twelve supplemental bills had been prosecuted against: flic estate of a deceased chancery suitor. It would be a gFeat im provement if the judges were to be obliged ,to give their returns themselves, instead of through the registrars. The hon. and learned gentleman then proceeded to make some observations on the Chancery Offices Bill, which had, among others things, instituted the plan of paying the registrars and their clerks by fixed salaries, instead of as before, by fees. Whatever might be the advantages o f the bill, the effect of this portion of it had, at least, been injurious, in taking from those officers the stimulus which had previously urged them on, when they were paid ac cording to what they did. The consequence had been a most frightful delay in the liusiness of the registrar's office. ,1 The hon. and learned member was here interrupted by an lion. gentleman (who it was we could not learn), who moved that the house be counted. This was done, and it being found that only 33 members were present, the house adjourned at a quarter to twelve. FROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, MAY 14, 1834.

James Kean, alias Williams, was indicted for inter marrying with Martha Griffiths, his own wife Mary Anne being still. living.- Robert Burk, proved that the prisoner was married in February, 1833, at St. James's, Clerkenwell, to a woman of the name of Mary Anne Slade. In the witness's cross-examination it was implied that the case was one of those nefarious parish systems of marrying paupers to relieve them of the settlement. He said that .the woman had a child by the prisoner, and at that time was again enceinte. The parish gave him 30s. and a room full of goods, and he married her. Prisoner did not express any particular desire for the union. The brother of the prisoner's first wife deposed to their living together as man and wife. Mary Haines was present when the prisoner was married to Martha Griffiths, at St. John's, Hampstead, on last Easter Sunday. Martha Griffiths was married to the prisoner, as stated by the witnesses, but had not lived with him since ; she knew that he was a married man, and that his wife had two children, but, having consulted a cunning man, in Pratt -street, Lambeth, she under stood the first marriage was illegal, as the prisoner might not have had an opportunity of exercising his own free will in that marriage. The prisoner's mother stated, that his wife had gone away from her son and had taken with her the whole of the furniture which the parish had given him. She was a very dissolute character. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The RECORDER should consider the justice of the case fully answered in sentencing him to six months' imprisonment in Newgate. The prisoner appeared perfectly satisfied with the verdict and, leaning over the bar, caught the fair hand of the " ever to be envied" Miss Griffiths, and imprinted on it one of those rapturous kisses so ade quately described in " love scenes" of the present day. William Childs, aged 23, was indicted for admi nistering -a certain drug to Mary Jane Wolfe with in tent to produce abortion. The case occupied several hours, and its details ne cessarily were of a delicate description. The prose cutrix, a rather good-looking delicate girl of sixteen or seventeen, is the daughter of the proprietor of an inn at Hammersmith. The prisoner was, during last year, in hig employ as hostler. In April, 1833: 'the intimacy between the prisoner and Mary Jane Wolfe commenced. The consequence of that intimacy was the belief,- on the part of the prosecutrix, that she was enceinte. This she communicated to the prisoner in the middle of June last, and on the 26th of that month the prisoner gave to her a dark powder, which he told her she must mix and take, as she wanted dose of salts. She took it according to the direction and suffered severe illness for a fortnight. She was not at that time competent to have an opinion ; but having since given birth to a child, she is now competent to say that the powder given to her by the ptis ncr j. duced miscarriage. The intimacy betweea the partic• still continued after the administering of this dose, that connection, which had led to its adoption, being resumed. On the Bth of September the girl, finding herself enceinte, eloped with the prisoner from her I'a:.er' house, and took with her money, clothe s , t &k. which were disposed of to proctire the necessaries life. They wandered as far as Leatherhead, sefferin great privations, sleeping for nights in the open air prosecutrix wishing, as she stat e d, to escape from him but being unable to find any opportunity to effect fit. A! length a person residing at Leatherhead heard of the circumstances, and wrote to the father of the girl, whc 'etched her up to town. Mr. CLARKSON, in his cross-examination, elicited that prosecutrix had charged prisoner with four offence prior to this, viz., the stealing of articles, receiv+ng of them, seduction, and rape, and at length the preent prosecution was instituted. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The RECORDER took the verdict literally—" We find the prisoner guilty of all the allegations. \Vc are of opinion that he administered to Mary Jane Wolfe a certain drug to procure abortion. We arc of opinion she was pregnant, but not quick with child." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A tall, able-bodied Irishman, named Thos. Moore, was brought before the Loan MAYOR, with a child in 4is arms, under the following curious circumstances : The defendant used some time ago to, sweep a crossing in the Borough, and contrived to get as much by that occupation in the winter as enabled him to support a wife and two or three children. He, how ever, in a lazy or drunken fit, sold the crossing for six pence; and had recourse to the more inglorious profes sion of beggar, which he practised in the extreme of its quirks and manoeuvres, and by which, it is sup posed, he could manage to put a good joint upon his table on the day of rest. The figure he cut in the street proved that he was an admirable judge of effect. A child, about four years old, with naked feet; fol lowed him, holding the tail of his coat, while he walked along with a baby in his arms. The older child had in her hand an old leaky saucepan, with milk in it, which the defendant now and then put to the mouth of the infant. This parental office he took care to perform whenever he saw ladies approach, and when he perceived the bait was taken ' he never failed to say that the poor moth er was on her sick bed, or rather her sick truss of straw, in Kent-street, in the Borough, where she was just " kilt" for want of vic tuals, and hadn't a drop in the world to give the " babby." Such masterly grouping could - not but attract spectators, before whom the defendant exhi bited his skill in the art, but there happened to be a hard-hearted person amongst the number, who re moved the little interesting . family to the Compter, and from thence to the Mansion-house. Mr. Hobler said that he was in the habit of seeing many fellows in the streets carrying very young chil dren in their arms, and appealing to any respectable females who passed by. He knew of no class of beg gars who better deserved punishthent than such sturdy rascals. " How long, .my good Sir (said Mr. Hob ler to the mendicant), since you turned bull-nurse ?" (Laughter.) A policeman said that the defendant carried the child about, he believed, since a few days after its birth. So unaccustomed was the poor infant to the breast, that when put into a woman's arms, it never turned towards that part to which " nater" guided every other body's mouth. (Laughter.) The defendant said that he carried about the "c'hil ther"-to give them a little fresh air, and that his wife was too ill to attend to them. Here a man; who said his name was Wm. Morgan, stepped forward, and•said that he was the person who had purchased the street crossing from the defendant. " He didn't act like a man to me (said Morgan) for the day ater I tuck up his business, he opens a new consarn, twenty yards at th' tother side o' me.— ( Laughter.) , The LORD MAYOR—What ! he swept the street across in another part ? Morgan—That's just it, my lord; bat Lwouldn't a cared about it, if he didn't bull-nurse at the same time. He used for to carry that ere baby in one hand, while he swept up the mud with the tother ; and the soft-hearted vonien used to say, " Oh ! 3lary, see if youlian't got a happenny to give to that ere poor man wot looks ater his baby so tender." (Laughter.) Mr. Nobler said that the system of hiring children had been very prevalent of late. It was considered a sure source of profit, particularly amongst the able bodied paupers, who,'ralher than go up a ladder 'or down into a sewer' . to ;earn their bread honestly, would. crawl over the fettiiit all day bidl-nursing. Morgan—Aye, please your lordship, the gemman's right ;- I'm blest if l.wouldn't rather sweep St. Giles's in the biekermost slums, nor meet with one of these here bull-nurses.. • I wouldn't a cared if he sweeped the street within a yard o' my consarn, provising he left the child at home ; but I'm blowed if the people wouldn't a walked twenty mile to go through his shop. (Great laughter.) _ _ The LORD MAYOR said that he certainly should try whether he could not check the bull-nurse system, by sending every one he caught to grass in Bridewell. Morgan—But please you, my Lord, what I con siders worst of all is this here, ven he sould me the sweeping, he gets up afore me in the morning, and he smears it all over with mud, and when I gets up I had to sweep it'all away; and while I was a sweeping he was doing a very pretty stroke of work, and no mis take, for the people was passing over and over, and I'm blest if . you' d think they'd ever stop where he was a bull-nursing. Mr. Hobler—What ! did he carry this child then? Morgan 7 ---Did he not ! aye, and if there's a bit of dirt in the syreet he,mops it up in a corner, and puts his bare feet into it, for to make the people pity him. Now I can't do no sich a thing. I tried it once, but I'm blest if it didn't hit me in the bowel. (Laughter.) The LORD 'MCI OR directed that the wife of the de fendant should be brought up, and remanded the defendaut.• 'LAMBETH-STREET. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MR. GEE.—Yes terday a person, named Smith, applied to Mr. WALKER and a county magistrate for their advice and assistance under the following circumstances : The applicant had taken the house, No. 27, York street, Commercial-road, in which Mr. Gee had been confined, froth Mr. Wych, the landlord, and had paid him a sum of 10/. in hand, for which he had a receipt to show ; but on going and taking possession of it, he was forcibly ejected by the police. Mr. WALIEER—When did you take this house ? Applicant—Yesterday morning, Sir. - Mr. WALKER—The landlord, I should think, had not the power to let you the house, as the blind man, Edwards, it appeaxs, has taken it from him, and got possession of it on Saturday ; and he, therefore, is the only , person' that can legally let it. Besides, the magistrates do not interfere in matters of this sort, except in very particular cases which are pointed out by the Act of Parliament. I suppose your object in taking it was to show it for money ? Applicant—l can't say but it was ; but the police are doing the same now,. as I have witnesses to prove. Magistrate—l suppose they arc doing that which you wish to do yourself. There was a boy here this morning who stated that, for a few minutes while he was there, there were no fewer than nine sixpences, from so many persons, to see the den. Applicant--Yes, the police are taking plenty of money, as I can prove by witnesses. It is a very hard case on me, after paying my 10/. ; and I would wish to know if the landlord could not let the house for a month ? Mr. WALKER—No, certainly not; Edwards has been accepted by him as a tenant, and got Possession of the house. Mr. Dickson, a furniture broker, who accompanied the applicant, here stood forward, and said, " Your Worship, I don't conceive that Edwards took posses sion of the house, as he did not bring any furniture or property. .there." Mr. WALKER—Don't you consider the fitting-up of this place any property?. Dickson —It's neither law nor justice to prevent a man from letting his property. Mr. WALKER—You must mistake the law and jus tice of the case. The landlord cannot legally let the house, Edwards being still the tenant, and things must take their course. ( Addressing the applicant Smith) What is it you want us to do ? Applicant—Why want to know, your Worship, whether the police were, justified, in turning me out after I had got possession of the.house . by - the landlord? Mr. WALKER—The landlord, I repeat, could give you no legal posse,6on. Edwards, whatever his con duct may be, is the present owner of the premisei, and the police are there for the present, as I suppose, to see that nothing is destroyed. We cannot interfere in the case. The applicant and his friends then left the office, apparently much annoyed at the result, a Ea . g they would not let the matter rest here. ft would be impossible to describe the extraordinary desire that is evinced to see the interior of the house, and particularly the den in - Which' •111 r. (lto chained up. Since the disclosure and publicatiof the almost incredible circumstances of this me , tt far case the premises have been surrounded at ennoSi - • dl hours by persons anxious to has a peep, and #nii6: n oreer to gratify t'.eir curiosity have offered libefis suns for the favour. On Tuesday o:Tiling Messrs. • El acwteK and WALNER, the Magistrates iiited it, to 1 rave directienis that the Learns of v:ood ;he chain and cord were attached, and which had 5"614 taken away by the officers, should be placed in &iv' former position, and that a correct plan and dratvi4 )f the interior a..d exterior of the den and lower part if the premise 3 should be taken by a competent woressional man. This.has since been done, and it is iaid it will be of great importance on the trial of the parties. THE MARKETS. PRICE OF SUGA R.

Bowel complaints are common at the. end of summer or beginning of autumn, but are very rare in May. The disease now prevalent is preceded by indigestion, languor, and lassitude, sinking at tho pit of the stomach, and great debility; in fact, the symptoms which preceded cholera in 1832 and 1533.' Ordinary remedies arrest it, and the timely application; is indispensable. Regularity of living, nutritious diet, and moderate mental and corporeal exertion are the best preventives. Vegetable food, more espe.: cially salads, lettuce, £4c., ought to be used sparingly,, if at all.—Medical and Surgical Journal. • SUNDAY IN LONDON—PRESENTMENT OF THE MIDDLESEX GRAND JURY.—Yesterday afternoon the Middlesex Grand Jury, on concluding their la.: bours, came into court in a body, when their foreman,. Mr. .Bischoff, stated to the court that they had a pre; sent nent they were anxious to make respecting the' houses kept open for the sale of ardent spirits, and' particularly on Sundays. It was signed by 19 out of. the 23 jurors, and would have been signed by the re mainder,' with one exception, but for their accidental: absence at the time the document was_ formally drawn, up. The gentleman who declined signing did so on' conscientious grounds, but at the same time admittedl his concurrence in the sentiments expressed in the pre. sentment, which, with the permission, of the court, he' would now read. The chairman having itit:n ated his assent, Mr. , Bischoff read the tatenieri% :afar which r the chairman said it gave ,him. very gr6A pi t sure to, receive their-pTesentation,.statl . ll6sii9U:d ta`k, that op portunity of assuring them how entirely it met his con currence.
