MINERAL MAGNETISM. (From the Lancet of Saturday, June I.) Some experiments which seem to promise results of considerable interest and practical importance in medicine, are at present being pursued in certain of the metropolitan hospitals, on patients afflicted with neuralgia, tie d" 1 " - reux, toothach, and other immediate affections of the nerves. We allude to the application of a magnet to the parts suffering pain from those diseases. We abstain from communicating to our readers at present any thing more on the subject than we have had satisfactory me Ina of ascertaining to be rigidly exact on the score of truth. Three instances only have, in fact, as yet occurred under circumstances which enable us to speak without hesitation of the power possessed by the instrument alluded to, over diseases of the human frame. These we shall give, ob serving, that the employment cf the magnet has nothing to do with the art denominated " animal magnetism." Our readers will remember the interesting case of neu ralgia of the finger at St. Thomas's hospital, upon which Dr. Elliotson stated in a clinical lecture, reported in our 434th Number, that he had exhausted his store of reme dial agents, without developing a shade of improvement. A more severe case, probibly, was never subjected to treat ment. The man left the hospital for a time, totally unre lieved, but soon afterwards returned, when, in accordance with a suggestion, as Dr. Elliotson has since observed in one of his clinical lectures, of a correspondent of this Jour nal, the colchium nutumhale was tried in the case, with out, however, the slightest benefit being derived therefrom. The sedative powers of the lobelia inflata then suggest-d to the Doctor the propriety of giving the patient the chance of that medicine. The grounds on which it was employed, proved to be in a great measure correctly founded. The man took the lobelia, in increasing do.es, every hour, be ginning with seven drops of the tincture, and adding a drop to each progressive dose, until as large a quantity had been reached as could be taken without deranging the functions of the stomach. Great amelioration of the affection fol lowed this treatment. The patient, who was before unable even to cross the ward, or bear the slightest cutting of his finger-nails, and had become emaciated to the extretnest degree, from pain and sleeplessness, was soo❑ enabled to walk out of doors, and enjoy many hours of rest, recovered his good looks, and became comparatively cheerful. The relief, however, was very far from being either perfect or permanent. The continued exhibition of the medicine was demanded to secure any portion of rest. A short time since, however, a new remedial agent pre sented itself, in the form of the magnet. The hospital was visited by (we believe) Dr. Kyle first, and subse quently by a physician of the name of Blundell, a friend of the former gentleman, who followed up the application begun by Dr. Kyle. The lobelia inflata was allowed by Dr. Elliotson to be suspended, and the effect of the magnet tried. That effect was, we learn, a very decided one ; the pain was, on every application of the instrument, removed, and continued absent for several hours. The distance, however, at which the operator resided from the hospital prevented, and still prevents, the daily use of the instru ment, or, the impression on the patient's mind is, that it would perform a cure. On Tuesday last, the Dr. Blundell already mentioned re-attended the hospital, at the hour of Dr. Elliotson's visit, when, in the presence of the pupils and our reporter, he drew forth the magnet, and commenced its application to tb.e patient's finger. The instrurn,nt is of the horse-shoe form, about ten inches in its long axis, and five in its short, composed of five layers of metal, the central being the longest, anti the whole bound with stout riband. The patient was at the time apparently suffering considerable pain, and unable to use his hand. The north pole of the magnet was gently passed five or six times down the sides and back of the tniddle finger, and then rested on the central joint. The result was, such a cessation of suffering, that he could gnash his fingers into the palm of his hand with ease and comfort, and he declared himself to be entirely relieved. The power of the instrument, however, did not cease here. Dr. Blundell showed that it possessed the means of repro ducing the pain in the most intense form. The south pole of the magnet was directed along the finger. At the third pass the patient began to bite his lip, and close his eves with an expression of pain. At a few passes more his chin was involuntarily buried in his breast, and his wrinkled features evinced the acutest suffering. This was allowed to continue for a few seconds, when the north pole was again presented to the finger, and the agony speedily annealed. The spectators then left the man with a countenance perfectly tranquil. At the ex tremity of the ward lay an elderly lady, a martyr to tic- douloureus in the lower jaw, extending to the ear, and affecting a large portion of the head. The disease, eh , ' stated, was of more than nine years duration, and had never ceased to afflict her for a day during that period up to her entrance into the hospital. Her appearance was proportionably miserable.. The magnet had also been ap plied in her case, and with similar advantage, as she stated. On the present occasion, it was found on approaching her bed, that she was that morning free from pain, and tee aid of the magnet was not needed. " But cannot you show its power by producing the pain ?" inquired a by-stander. The suggestion was acted on. The south pole of the magnet was passed from the centre of the chin along the lower jaw-bone up to the ear. At the third pass the poor woman indicated that the tic was commencing, and in a few seconds more the affection was experienced intensely. The process was then stopped, as the experiment was car ried far enough to satisfy all present of its consummation, and after a brief space the presentation of the north pole wholly freed the sufferer from pain. The operator subse quently stated that by continuing the passes he could have carried the pain on to the production of delirium. There is a female patient in another ward who had suf fered intense toothach for three months, when, a fort night since, according to her own evidence, which we have no reason to doubt, it was instantly cured by one applica tion of the magnet, through the medium of a key, and had not returned in the slightest degree up to the period of the visit on Tuesday last. These are very interesting facts. 'We present them to our readers unaccompanied by comment. Toe specific name given to his instrument by Dr. Blundell, is that of "mineral magnet." How far its application to disease admits of extension, we are at present ignorant. DEATH of SIMON BYRNE, the PUGILIST. On Friday last a prize fight took place between SIMON I3YRNE, the Champion of Ireland, and Deaf BURKE, at No Man's Land, in Hertfordshire, on the previous day, and which was protracted to the extraordinary period of three hours and six minutes, during which time 99 rounds were fought. BURKE was the victor, and the unfortunate StmoN BYRNE was conveyed in a state of complete ex haustion to the Woolpack Inn, St. Alban's, where he received every possible attention. Medical assistance was immediately called in ; but it was all in vain, for at twenty minutes past eight on Sunday evening the unfor tunate man breathed his last, a fate, as will appear by the evidence before the Coroner's inquest, evidently expe dited by his wounded feelings, for it was manifest to every body about him that his mental sufferings were greater than those of his body. The unfortunate man was, we understand, about 32 years of age, and has left a wife and four children, now in Dublin, to deplore his loss. At half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning a jury of the inhabitants of St. Alb in's, were assembled at the Town Hall, by THOAtAS WARD BLAGG, Esq., the Coroner. After hearing evidence, the jury retired, and after an absence of two hours, at half past eight o'clock at night returned a verdict of—" Manslaughter against DEAF BURKE, principal in the first degree, and THOMAS SPRING, JAMES WARD, RICHARD CURTIS, and THOMAS GAYNOR, as seconds : also against the umpire or umpores, referee or referees, and the time keeper, all then and there aiding and abetting, whose names are unknown to us, as principals in the second degree." This finding was accompanied by the following commentary :—" In returning this verdict the jury feel themselves called upon to express their deep regret that the neighbouring Magistrates did not inter fere to prevent a breach of V e peace, so notoriously ex - p,cted to take place within their jurisdiction." We under stand that considerable discussion arose among the jury as to whether they should not return a verdict of wilful murder, Nothing can exceed the excitement the verdict of the Coroner's Jury on Simon Byrne has produced amongst the fancy. The news was brought to tows last night by a Noble Lord, by express, and the moment the decisio❑ of the Jury was known, a number of departures took place. All the sporting houses were this morning deserted by their priocip Al frequenters. One gentleman of high rank, a well-known frequenter of Tom Spring's, left town this morning for Dover, accompanied by another cha racter equally notorious. The houses of Toni Spring, in Holborn, and Tom Gaynor, the Red Horse, in Bond street, were literally besieged all this day. FANATICAL IMPUDENCE. —A posting-bill is at present stuck up in numerous places around Gl,gow (and was so lately also in Edinburgh), entitled "Warnings a ul Judgments that are coming or, Scotland, England, and Ireland, for the sins of the inhabitants of these three wicked nations." Then follows a great q uantity of the most impious threatenings and balderdash. The placard con eludes as follows, in a line conspicuously printed " Whoever pulls down this bill will have to answer for it at the last day."—Scetantan. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1833. If Ministers are surprised at the result of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S motion in the House of Lords last night, we are not. Just in the same pro portion as they have disappointed the people by whom they were brought into office, they have irri tated the Tories by the possession of power, al though they have but too frequently compromised their own honour and the dignity of the nation by concessions to a faction which knew how to avai itself of the weakness of Ministers, without being deluded into any co-operation with them where the common object of attack was not the liberty of the people. The Tories supported Ministers when the coercion of Ireland was proposed, because it was their own game, and they could reap all the advan tages without any of the odium of the Act. The Tories have supported the Whigs in their resistance to the demands of the people for cheap govern ment, because, looking forward to the resumption of place, they were anxious to keep its emoluments entire. Their own whipper-in canvassed for them in all the Tory haunts when they wished to rescind the only important division for the people on the records of a reformed House of Commons; hut the vote of last night must have shown the Whigs, if they are not blind, the folly of neglecting friends and endeavouring to gather strength against those friends, by concessions to a party which is not less the enemy of the Government than of the people. The Duke of WELLINGTON has, by a majority of 80 to 68, carried his motion for an address to the KING praying him not to interfere in the dispute between the legitimate QUEEN and the usurper of her rights in Portugal. For this success he is in a considerable degree indebted to the Bishops—to those Fathers in God who are ever ready to vote with or against Ministers, according to their own interests or their own antiquated notions. In the present instance, per haps, these superfluous ornaments of the Upper House will tell us that their votes are based upon Christian charity. Their love of peace would not allow them to encourage any participation by our Government in the affairs of Portugal, believing, as they do, that if the Constitutionalists were to be abandoned to their own resources, they would be expelled from Portugal; and order be established in that country. The cause of order is, in the eyes of these pious legislators of more im portance, than the cause of either civil or religious liberty. PEDRO might triumph, and the people of Portugal enjoy the blessings of political freedom arid religious toleration ; but then the cause of order, or in other words, the influence of despotism, must be disturbed, and an example would be set to other nations to pull down tyrannical systems, and set up cheap governments, with which an expert sive church establishment would not harmonize quite so well as the high dignitaries of the church in every country, whether Catholic or Protestant (for they have but one feelingwhen their own enjoyments and political influence are at stake) might def-ire. Of the moral integrity of a vote, the effect of which must be, if allowed to prevail over the good sense of the Cabinet, to perpetuate despotism in Portugal, and to place the life and property of every Portuguese at the disposal of a Monster, the less we say the better. Our readers will form their own estimate of such a vote without any other impulse than that of their own feelings. . _ What the immediate result of the vote of last night will be, we know not—what it ought to be, is quite apparent. It ought to open the eyes of Ministers to the folly, as well as discredit, of any alliance, on any point or any subject, with the far lion from which they have just received a bitter but wholesome lesson. It ought to induce them instantly to recommend to the Parliament, some measure by which the reverend and pious Prelates, whose religious duties are so numerous and so zealously observed, may be relieved of the additional fatigue of legislation and political domina tion. It ought to be the means of a cordial alli ance between the Ministers and the nation, by which the former would be enabled to carry into execu tion those plans for the benefit of the country which they profess to entertain, but to the execution of which they declare themselves unequal, on account of the influence of a Court faction. As to the merits of the particular question under discussion last night, we assert fearlessly that there is not an unprejudiced man in the United Kingdom who will deny that the only fault of Ministers, as regards Portugal, has all along been, their not de claring against MIGUEL, and reinstating the legiti mate Government, thereby, at the same time, ,erving the cause of humanity and the commerce of the country. It is a notorious fact, that when Don PEDRO first arrived here, he offered, as the condition of receiving aid from our Govern ment, to continu e all the political and commercial advantages hitherto enjoyed by Great Britain in Portugal, and to confer on our merchants many others of greater value. It was the duty of Minis ters—first, as regarded the question of humanity ; secondly, as regarded the interests of this country— to have accepted those offers, and to have given !he aid required in return, particularly as moral assistance would have been sufficient, without a shilling outlay, or the sacrifice of a single life. The mere act of recognising Donna MARIA would have been the signal for the flight of the Usurper. Perhaps the Duke of WELLINGTON,with his many thousands a year, may be ignorant of the mercan tile distress of this country, and think that the ex clusive supply of the Portuguese markets by Bri tish merchants would have been an object of no importance to our manufacturers. The possessor of Apsley-house and S.rathfieldsay may be expected to have less correct notions on this point than the Spiralfields manufacturer or the London merchant; but there may be persons uncharitable enough to make as little allowance for the ignorance of the Noble Duke, as for his lack of humanity. Since writing the above, we find that, imme diately after the defeat of Ministers in the House of Lords last night, arrangements were made for holding a Cabinet Council, which is now sitting. It is useless to speculate on the course which Ministers will take, but it is probable that they will adopt some resolutions, to be made dependent on the result of the motion of which C.,lone! DAVIES has given notice in the House of Commons for Thursday, to declare the confidence of that House in Ministers as regards the Portu guese question. That motion will undoubtedly be carried by an immense majority, and the effect of the attempt made by WELLusGToN and Co., to uphold the tottering throne of the Portuguese usurper may be to hasten the recognition of Donna MARIA, arid lay the foundation of a more liberal and enlightened foreign policy than has hitherto been acted upon by the reformed Government. The conduct of the Bishops in this affair has excited as much regret (we might use a much stronger term) in the Cabinet, as it will throughout the country. We understand that these reverend persons are chuckling at the triumph which they obtained last night. In less than three days, how ever, they will look back to their conduct on that occasion, if not with shame, at least with mortification. They must no longer talk of the efforts making out of doors to bring the church into discredit with the people. When they shall have awakened from the delusion under which they have laboured, and have begun "to put their house in order," they will feel that the real enemies of the Church are its own professors, who, not content with the many worldly enjoyments which they derive from their religious voca tions, have abandoned the precipts of their own creed, and grasped at political preponderance. We hope Ministers, now made fully sensible of the danger, as well as impropriety, of allowing the Bishops to have seats in the House of Lords, %%ill follow up the success which they are certain to have in the House of Commons on Thurs day, by a Bill for the expulsion of the Bishops from the House of Lords. The support of the Com mons, and the sanction of a few Peers, would en able them to carry this measure, and to make their names illustrious in the history of the country. In the meantime, we would recommend the postpone ment of the Irish Church Bill, in order to prevent its defeat in the House of Lords, and render it ne cessary for Ministers prematurely to resign upon that defeat, as they have pledged themselves to du in such an event. Having carried all the other important mea sures of the session, and put the House of Lords on a more constitutional footing, they may bring for ward the English and Irish Church Reform Bills hand in hand with more liberal provi-ions than could now be hoped for, and they will be sure to carry them triumphantly. It will be seen by the report of the proceedings in the House of Commons that the first of Mr. STANLEY'S resolutions was agreed to, and that unanimously, several amendments being withdrawn in order that there might not be a dissentient voice upon the general principles it involved. The reso lution was— " That it is the opinion of this Committee that immediate and etrectual measures be taken for the entire abolition of slavery throughout the colonies, under such provisions for re. gulating the condition of the negroes as may combine their welfare with the interests of the proprietors." Thus has a step been taken which cannot be re called, and if the principles here laid down be ho nestly acted upon, slavery may be considered as virtually at an end. The Committee is to sit again to-night, and we may anticipate hot debates upon some of the contested points on which the House has been threatened with divisions. Hitherto there has been no great expenditure of eloquence. Mr. STANLEY'S speech on the first night of the discussion still stands forward as the best to which the occasion has given rise. Lord Howicx's, perhaps, has hardly had justice done to it, for it certainly showed a greater grasp of mind than he has usually had credit for. Mr. BUXTON'S was correct, but tame. Mr. GODSON'S smelled strongly of the fee, either in per-pective, or in his pocket ; and even Mr. O'CONNELL'S, last night, although eloquent, was not such as to an swer the expectations of his great name. From the reluctant and half-converted advocates of emancipa tion, we do not look for a very animated attack upon an ancient abuse, and perhaps the certainty of success has now blunted the eloquence of the aboli tionists. It is, however, the do-little and wait awhile school, the men who seconded Mr. CAN• NING's resolutions for the mere purpose of throwing out the more definite proposals as an amendment to which they were moved, or who hoped from them a long continuance of things in state quo,— it is this party, we say, which now cuts the most miserable figure. Tied by their former votes, urged on by public opinion, but holding back from their wish not to disturb things that are, their speeches exhibit the most strange contradictions. Sir ROBT. PEEL'S, last night, presented a fine specimen of verbose rigmarole of this description. So much of it as was not made up of the most wishy-washy common-places we ever heard, even from him, was a bundle of fallacies refuting one another. The common places we must be excused repeating. We refer our readers to the report for them, with this observation only, that the Hon. Baronet invariably thinks the question immediately before him the most important ever brought before Parlia ment. Like a worthy tradesman, celebrated by one of our older comic writers, who every Sunday said to his wife, " My dear, this is the very finest pudding you ever made in your life," the Hon. Bart. loses in the present all recollection of the past, all judgment of the future. The Resumption of Cash payments, the amendment of the Criminal Law, a new system of Police, Catholic Emancipation, Jewish Emanci pation, Parliamentary Reform, Borough Reform, Church Reform, and Slavery, have all in their turns been declared by the Right Honourable Baronet, to be the most important subjects ever brought before Parliament. To an ant Primrose-hill and Mont Blanc, we dare say, appear as nearly as may be of the same dimensions. So much for the common-place. Wi t h respec t t o the fallacies in the Right Hon. Baronet's speech, they are so numerous, that w e must con t e nt ourselves with noticing one or two of the most prominent. The Right Hon. Baronet begins by telling us that emancipation will endanger a revenue of 4,000,000 1 . because , of course, the argument is, we shall destroy sugar cultivation in the West Indies. A few sentences afterwards he tells us that we shall be sure to get sugar from elsewhere. If so Sir ROBERT, the revenue is not hurt, and we agree that sugar could be got from else w h ere . H e says t h at this " elsewhere" will be slave states, and that the only difference will be, that we shall encourage slavery in foreign colonies instead of regulating it in our own. This would be a serious objection if well founded, but Sir ROBERT forgets that he has before admitted that slavery is extinguished in Mexico and Venezuela, where sugar enough could be grown to supply the whole of Europe. If he doubt this, he may comfort himself with the reflection that India and China are both able to supply us with the produce of free labour, as is also Siam, from which country, if we mistake not, 1 even the merchants of the United States fetch it with profit. The 11;ght Hon. Baronet, following in the wake of many who preceded him, held the horrors of the revolution in St. Domingo up as a warning against what he called precipitate emanci pation. It ought to be a warning to us, but of a very different nature from that which it is sought to be made. What took place in St. Domingo is precisely what we may expect to tnke place in Jamaica if we pursue similar half-measures. In May the National Convention passed a decree — emancipating the negroes ? No, emancipating the men of colour, amounting to some 24,000 people. Of course the blacks naturally rose in rebellion. Did the National Convention amend its false step ? Not at all. Alarmed at the rising of the slaves, they in September revoked this decree in favour of the men of colour! Is it matter of astonishment that they joined the blacks to drive out the French, and that complete insubordination and destruction of property and industry were the result ? St. Domingo is a warning to us, then; but a warning not to deal in half measures. We might go on pointing out similar fallacies anti contradictions throughout the light Hon. Baronet's speech, but we trust we have done enough to put our readers upon their guard against bold assertions and shakes of the head for facts and arguments. The news from the Ea=t is still as contradictory as ever. By the Russian Gazettes, received through the Hamburg Mail, it would appear that the Sub lime Porte was paying its addresses to the Russian party with all the fervour and devoted humility of a lover; that the SULTAN had got by heart a few complimentary Sc'avoid(' phrases for the purpose of expressing his undying gratitude to the Russian troops at a grand public review lately held in the neighbourhood of Constantinople ;—that, in fact, the Russian party had everything their own way in the Divan. This is the St. Petersburgh version. Later accounts, however, insinuate that the anti- Russian party is just now predominant in the coun cils of the Porte. The Allgemeine Zeitung, dated the 29th May, contains a memorandum of the Otto man Porte, whose only marked peculiarity is, that it is utterly devoid of character, and betrays an over anxiety to trim between all parties. It is a de'ec table sample of the little-as-needs-be style of address. The Staffordshire election commences this day, and will close to-morrow. We cannot understand upcn what principle those who style themselves Reformers, support Lord INGESTRIE, who was, and is, notorious for his hostility to all reform ; and who is moreover the cast-off Member of one of the rottenest boroughs—and that is saying a great deal for it—in all England. Such support can only originate in factious motives ; for common sense =and common honesty would assuredly rally all patriotic Reformers under the banners of Mr. LITTLETON. What has Lord INGESTRIE ever said—what has he ever done—what has he ever dreamed of doing, that he should thus obtain the suffrage of even one Reformer in Staffordshire ? Is it a radical recommendation that he is, both from prejudice and inclination, steadily, unflinchingly opposed to all national improvement ? That he is one of that benighted party who believe in the virgin integrity of the Episcopal Bench ? In a word, that he is a Tory, heart and soul—" back, loins, reins, and all odd joints," as Tristram Shandy has it? If these be Lord INGESTRIE'S recommenda tions with the Staffordshire Reformers, assuredly the phrase Reform has a far different meaning now to what it had but one shert year ago; nor do we think the new version is by any means an improvement. But, despite the intrigues of certain wolves in sheep's clothing—despite the dissonant bray ing of certain asses, whose long ears, staring through the lion's skin in wh•ch they have disguised their insignificance, betray them ;—despite these and a hundred equally pitiable machinations, Mr. LITTLETON will to-morrow night (or there is no such a thing as public honesty) be returned Knight of the shire for Staffordshire. The Sun Journal will be received at an early hour to-morrow in Staffordshire; and we hope these our few, hasty words of exhortation, will not be without their ef fect on the electors. We direct attention to a very interesting ex tract in saother column, headed " Mineral Mag netism." It appears that Dr. BLUNDELL has made a discovery in the application of magnetic power to chronic and other diseases, v, hich promises to be of as much efficacy in removing pain, as it will by contributing to the advance of medical science, re dound to the honour of its talented inventor. We have had different publ , cations forwarded to us advocating the cause of the West Indian Pianters, but one of the most curious is in the shape of ex tracts from the evidence given before the Lords' Committee last year. The compiler of the ex tracrs or abstracts complains of the friends of the slaves having published partial extracts from that evidence, and states that his publication is intended to proceed upon an opposite principle, to give a fair view of the es idence, and show the public the real condition of the slaves. Now the Lords' Com mittee having reported that some of the evidence is of the most contradictory description, one would expect, in an impartial abstract, to find some traces of contradiction ; but no such thing; the worthy hireling of the slave owners did not think it necessary to show more than one side of the picture. According to the extracts of the evi dence he has given, such a thing as a slave being struck was never heard of. "As far as I could make an observation," says Sir L. HALSTED, " I never saw a punishment, and they appeared to be all exceedingly cheerful and happy." The idea even of punishment is so little entertained, that Lieu. tenant-Colonel MACDONALD says, that, in many instances, he "used to think the negroes in .Jamaica were exceedingly impudent to their owners; and, as far as fear goes, I "lever saw people less afraid of their owner, or less afraid of their master, or of any person in authority above them !" The same witness observes that lie never saw people more cheerful and happy in his life than are the slaves ! It is only marvellous to us how the slaves can undergo great hardships, and risk their lives, to get out of this exceedingly happy state. I3tit that they do so, is certain; and what we com plain of is, that the candid compiler did not condescend to give some part of the evidence that accounted for this seemingly unaccountable perversity. Lord KING continues seriously indisposed at his residence in Dover-street; and it is the opinion of his medical attendants, that if a change for the better does not speedily take place, his recovery will be hopeless. A letter has been received from Sir JOHN JEFFCOTT, written at the moment he reached the Brito mart, in which he makes the most anxious inquiries about the state of Dr. HEN s's wound, and requests that his friends will report to him the progress of his recovery. It appears he embarked under the impression that the wound would not prove mortal, as Dr. HENNIS was able to walk to the carriage with little assistance, and the surgeon on the ground did not apprehend any immediate danger. It also appears that Sir JOHN JEFFCOTT had an express sent to him from Exeter, which arrived the evening after the melancholy occurrence, bringing a favourable report of Dr. HENNIS'S state; and Sir Join( did not embark until after he received the express. We have received several communications relative to the lose of a man from on board the Diana steamer, on Sunday last, on her way down from Rich mond, some of which attach blame to the commander for not using sufficient exertion in rescuing the man from the water. Wishing to avoid any expression which might prejudice the case, we are content, for the present, with saying that when the body is found we can furnish a list of several gentlemen who are desirous of giving their evidence on the matter before a coroner's inquest. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Bishop of GLOUC ESTER, and Lord STOURTON, sat today at half-past ten o'clock, to hear Scotch Appeals. The LORD ADVOCATE replied in the part heard appeal of " Gibson v.

This was the petition of Robert Thomas, whose commission had been superseded, praying that the commission and pro ceedings might be enrolled On the 11th of October, 1831, a commission issued against the petitioner, and on the lSth of November following a petition was presented by him to the Lord Chancellor for a supersedeas. On the 19th of January, the case was heard before the Vice-Chancellor, who directed an issue, and on the 15th of March a verdict was found for the petitioner. A true bill bad been found by the Grand Jury of Glamorganshire, against Morgan Edmund, Edward Thomas, and John Jones, witnesses, in support of the commission, for wilful perjury, and the case was to have come on at the last assizes for that county, but on account of the absence of the commission, and proceedings which were in the hands of the solicitor for the assignees, it was put off. The solicitor did not wish to throw any facilities in the way of convicting his clients by giving up the proceedings without the order of the Court. The Court granted the prayer of the petitioner.

Extract from the agents to Lloyd's at the Havannah, dated April IS :—" We are now free from cholera, which, however, is very destructive on many plantations. The deaths by cho lera at Matanzas have not been numerous.” THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. By the French mail this morning it is stated that Louis Philip, King of France, is much indisposed, owing to a family complaint, and that his physicians have forbidden him riding on horseback. Letters from Geneva state that the arrests continue there, any that three military commissions have been appointed, one at Geneva, another at Alexandria, and the third at Chambery ; it is also confirmed that the Austrian troops are concentrating and advancing towards Piedmont. The number of Austrian troops now in Italy is 110,000 men. Some important events are expected soon to take place. The New York packet of the Sth of May is off Liverpool ; papers not yet received. A letter has been received from Captain Napier, dated the 99th ult., at sea, in which he states that the favourable weather and their fine steamers would enable them to reach Vigo Bay on 30th ult. THE FUNDS. Our City politicians and speculators have been much sur prised this morning, on finding that Ministers were in the Minority in the House of Lords last night, on the motion of the Duke of Wellington respecting the neutrality of Portugal. It is now generally expected that a petit guerre, or some sort of skirmishing, will soon take place between the House of Commons and the Lords, as no doubt two addresses on the subject will be presented to his Majesty, that from the Lords censuring the Ministers, and the other approving of their measures. In consequence of this unforeseen event, Consols which left off yesterday 90 1 4, have receded to 89 .34 4 for the Account. In the Foreign Market, Dutch Stock has lowered, as well as Portuguese Scrip. . . - HALF-PAST ONE. The chief topics of conversation in the City and on 'Change entirely relate to the defeat of Ministers in the House of Lords last night, and the future measures they will adopt to retrieve this unforeseen event. Their resignation is not expected to take place on the occasion. A batch of new Peers is talked of, but before such a measure is adopted, we have no doubt that Ministers will wait the result of the debate on Colonel Davies's motion in the Commons next Thursday, for which the public are looking with some anxiety. Up to the present hour we have no foreign political informa tion. The war in the East appears to be ended, as Ibrahim Pacha is retreating with his army. . _ Consols have been during the morning at 89 .7,4 for the Account; at present they arc 99% N. Bank Stock 204 to 205. In the Foreign Market there is little doing. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account Si) % THE IRON TRADE.—We are glad to be enabled to state that an advance of ten and a half per cent. in the wages of the operatives in the iron trade has recently taken place. This will be a great relief to the labouring classes in the iron districts, but the wages are still not re munerative. By the demise of the Rev. Mr. RIPPON, M.A., of Lone Marton, the two valuable livings of Long Marton and Kirlaythorne become vacant—Patron, Earl of THANET. We understand that they are decidedly the best livings in Cumberland or Westmoreland. DR. DOYLE.—It is a source of gratification to us to learn, that this first of patriots, of scholars, and of prelates, is recovering from the illness with which some time since we announced to our readers, that his Lordship had been afflicted. Dr. DOYLE is at present sojourning at Leamington.— Tipperary Free Press. CASE OF LUNATICO INQUIRENDO.—On Thursday last, a respectable jury was empannelled at the Green Man, Bethnal green, before Commissioners W. PHILLIMORE, J. E. BLUNT, and C. A. MURRAY, ES1:11114, by virtue of a Writ de Lunatico Inquirendo, to inquire concerning the alleged lunacy of ELIZABET/I BURNELL, a wid.)w lady, resident in the house of Dr. WARBURTON, of Bethnal-green. The presiding Commissioner, Mr. PHILLIMORE, charged the jury, and described to them the nature of the important inquiry upon which they were about to enter. The Commissioners and jury adjourned to Dr. WARBURTON'S for a second interview, and the re sult was, that the jury pronounced a verdict of " Un soundness of mind." The Commissioners and the Fore man animadverted in very strong terms upon the nature of the evidence, and the discrepancies in the statements of the witnesses. SPOTS ON THE SUN.—When viewed through powerful telescopes, provided with coloured glasses to take off the heat, which would otherwise injure our eyes, the sun is observed to have frequently large and perfectly black spots upon it, surrounded with a kind of border, less com pletely dark, called a penumbra. They are, however, not permanent. When watched from day to day, or even from hour to hour, they appear to enlarge or contract, to change their firms, and at length to disappear altogether, or to break out anew in parts of the surface where none were before. In such cases of disappearance, the central dark spot always contracts into a point, and vanishes be fore the border. Occasionally they break up, or divide into two or more, and in those offer every evidence of that extreme mobility which belongs only to the fluid state, and of that excessively violent agitation which seems only com. patible with the atmospheric or g aseous state o f matter. The scale on which their movements take place is immense. Spots have been observed, however, whose linear diameter has been upwards of 45,000 miles; and even, if some re cords are to be trusted, of very much greater extent. That such a spot should close up in six weeks' time (for t hey hardly ever last longer), its borders must approach at the rate of more than 1.000 miles a day.--Sir J.
