A :Wheelwright, residing at Petersfield, in Hampshire; in cutting up, some oaktimber lately, found a larg,e quan tity of hair inthe Very centre of the tree,which Was of considerable dimensions. The hair- wlasin the most perfect state of pres!rvition, althci i to,,from the depth at which it wa s embedded -in , the wood; there Can be no doubt' that it had beetbere up wards of, sixty years. It is conjecatM,t`Jhat a cavity had orig inally been m a d e in the`.loec, and that after the hair .had been deposited, part of the wood was immediately replaced; and:that in process of time the bark grew over it, and-re- united it to the parent trunk, and thus caused this singular phcenomenon. -The result of thetspeculations of the moral philosophers and naturalists who have examined it, is, that the hair was the offering of a swain, who had devised this 'curious plan for perpetuating the memorial of some sylvan nymph's attachment to him; but it is to be lamented that he slid not inscribe on the happy tree, after the good old fashion of the Phrygian Shepherd, as it would no doubt have thrown great,light upon the historyof some,indi vidu,als no less distinauished for their roma n ti c gallantry, than for lair connection- with many..' .interesting events in the history of this beautiful and picturesque district; and we Can only ac count for the omissi o n by s upp os i ng that the'-pro phetic mind of the ingenious _lover suggested the possibility of a change of sentiment too cennnon in all'ages, and that he feared such au inscription might record his perfidy ; for we read how the unhappy drone appealed to the poplar, on,Wbich the faithless PARIS had inscribed his vows of eternal ,fidelit"Y, when Spartan fictix seduced him from her arms. PAnLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, 2. , , ORDS MA Counsel were heard, and evidence were exa mln'Ed'at the Bar in supp or t of the 2d reading of the Glerawley Divorce Bill, and further proceed ings were postponed till Friday next.

The Petition recapitu lated the circumstances attending,a recent en forcement of :this Act with respect to a number of persons who were assembled for the purpose of dancing, in a house in St. Martin's-lane, and prayed the repeal of the aforesaid Act.---:The Petition was ordered to be printed.

WILSON pre sented a similar Petition from certain Seed Mer-, chants of London, Southwark, and Westminster. Ordered to be printed. CHURCHES.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, it was resolved that the. House should, y - n on rising, adj ourn to Fridaext. THE:BANK.' Mr. GRENFELL moved for an Account, shewing on the one side the Rate of Interest paid on the Quarterly advances made by the Bank of Eng land, to make up the deficiencies in the Consoli dated Fund ; and on the other the aggregate Amountof Interest which would have accrued to e public service, had all th e public. money die bands of the Bank been put to interest, ac , cording to . a statement on the table of the House : making itiathount in the year 1820-to 3,713,414/. llis object for moving for this account was to shew the House the improvident manner in which our relations with the Bank of Englanll were carried on, by making it appear that -thOinterest on the 3,700,0001. remaining idle in the hands of the Bank, would. have more than eb v er e d the amount of interest paid on the •quarterly-advanees in the year 1820, _ . - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCItEQUER had no objection to the production of the Account, but he did not ,think tile Hon. Gentleman had put the matter, in a fair point of view. Whatever use he meant to make of the return, the only fair way of judging would be by a comparison of the expense of raising loans to make up the deficien cies in the Consolidated Fund, with the profit derived by the Bank from so much money being left idle in their hands. By that coMpari son it would , be found, that had the method of raising the amount. by loans been resorted to, it would have been one much more expensive.to the country, - Mr. MAUERLY, said the Righv'lfon. Gen tleman did , not seem to have underithod the ar gument of his Honourable Frien& - ii!lie did not mean to,find fault -with the manlier in'which the quarterly deficiencies were made.up-by:the Right lion. Gentleman ; but he merely complained that a large sum of public money- was i left idle in the hands of the Bank of England; and he was certainly justified in looking with jealousy at any benefits conferred to the'prejudice of the public on a body so richly chartered as the Bank. Mr. BARING, thought the Hon. Gentlemen who had spoken on ,this subject had left out of their consideration,„that although the Bank had gene rally upwards of three millions of public money in its handS, it was frequently in advance to a much greater extent ; and in justice to that body, those two accounts should be balanced. If that were done, it would be found that the Bank had no more than,its due, and , no more than on the renewal of its charter was contemplated. In deed, unless they were to receive some benefit in this way, it would be impossible it could make thOse advances which it was occasionally called upon to do. Mr. GREW - TU. explained, and after a- few words from Mr. RICARDO, the return was order ed tc ne made. COMPLAINT AGAINST TIIE LORD ADVOCATE. Lord A. HAMILTON presented a Petition from a person named James Turner, a tradesman in Glasgow, cari-vng an the business, of a, Tobacco-. nist, and Who complained of acts of outrage and tyranny alleged to have been committed against him, by persons acting under the authority of the, tortflitiecate and - filS b i eptite... The Petitioner alleged, that on the night of the 9th of April, 1820,,he was taken into ctistotty tinder a warrant te search for papers and arms ; that he was thence taken to the-police office, at eleven o'clock at night, and thence -Marched 14 . 'd guard of horse anti foot, and locked up in 'Bridewell in a solitary cell, where he was kept froM the . gth to the 14th on ra stone floor, and without a Are, and then brought up and examined; The - charge made against him:was. that Of 'high treason; but he was admitted .tcv bail, and.'neither 'he nor the persons admitted to bail' were called upon afterwards, nor had like Petitioner received any compensation fot the injustice done him, though the only coni pensation for which he aSked was redress to his injured character. The Noble Lord commented at some length On the statements contained in this Petition, and called upon the Lord Advocate to explain why it was that the individual was treated with such -excessive severity in the first instance, and not brought to trial subsequently ; and why . he was charg e d with high treason, and yet bailed, although: the offence was not bailible ? He added that he belieVed the Petitioner, who had a re speetable character, to be• totally innocent of the charges Made. against hini , and'though he (Lord would not call on the,_Lord Advocate to mention his autho r ity, y e t :'entreated him, in proportion as he 'shielded' ,liitiVelf behind secret information; to . do the Petitioner jUstice at the present- time, as . he would be 'satisfied - by a dis tinct avowal that he had suffered unjustly. The Loan ADVOCATE stated that it was not his intention to object to the 'Petition being read, but he could. not avoid calling the attention of the House to the time when this complaint had made its appearance.• It was on the 9th of April; 1820, -that the act was committed of which the Petitioner complained, and yet it was only now that ,he came forward to seek redress. He -was aware that the 'Noble Lord had not the 'Petition put into his hands until six weeks ago. but it was eleven months since the Petitioner h: d been committed to . prison, and all that time the door's of the Law Courts were open to him in Scotland, and the doors of justice in Parliament, yet he had - mat attempted to approach either.— lie ';owed it to himself to have made his com plaint sooner if he were indeed .wronged, and he owed . it - - -to those whom he accused, and who would have been prepared to justify their coR.. duct. . He was not bound to state the ground of Suspicion on which the warrant was issued, but supposing there . had been no ground, the Peti tioner ought to have gene into a. court of law, where it would 'have been open to both parties to have. given their cases all the support which the circumstances connected with them would allow. He'c.4iltended that he had the best grounds for causing:the apprehension of the prisoner, denied thathe- was treated with harshness and severity, on .the contrary, he was taken to the Bridewell instead. of the prison of Glasgow through lenity, as there were then about 100 culprits in the pri son, and iu Bridewell he had every. accommoda tion which it was proper - to allow. He added that ,it was very extraordinary, while the Peti tioner complained of harsh treatment, a _cotr 7 plaint 'was also male that 'lie was admitted to bail,'Although the offence with which he stood charged was high treas on . ' The reason why he was not brought to trial was an insufficiency of evidence, like what had happened in many other instances lately in . England. If, however, the Petitioner would bring the''cas into .a court of law, lie -would prove that he' had su ffi cient cause for acting as he had done, ' and w ould shew that his. Deputy hatfnot only done his diity, but that if he had not detained him, he would have been guilty of gross misdemean ou r. On the whole, he insisted. that the Petitioner had' been justly ar rested, and afterwards treated' with hunanity. Mr. AIAXWEEL said,'he was satisfied, from the explanation given- by the Lord Advocate, that the Petitioner had not been treated with all that harshness and severity which - hid beeli alleged, but still bethought he had not been treated with all that. considerate humanity, which was the proud characteristic of BritiSh law. In re ference to :the:argument on which the Lord Ad vocate- relied so much, of the complaint having lain'over for so long a time, he could account for that ;'.he knew that it was the conviction on the prisoner's ,mind, 'whether right or not he (Mr. Maxwell) could not say, that he could have no justice against the Lord Advocate in: a Court of _Law in Scotland. He bore. evidence to the cha racter of the Petitioner, which was that of a re spectable tradesman, and , said the Lord Advo, sate ought -to. have not so lightly•lisienpd to.a charge of -high treason, Nit ought to have' justi fied it by the case of the SpafieldS rioters, who were accesed,off high treason, and were pr,ovtql to haVe been engaged, at the utmost, but hi, acts of dol.

Mr. MoNTErrn, wba was the Lord Provost of Glasgow at the time of the occurrence in ques tion, -related the circumstances which had given rise to the apprehension of the Petitioner; and observed, that the Bridewell in which he had been confined havino• been cleared of its usual inmates, was more comfortable than the jail. Such a variety of infprmation, - some gbod, and some bad, was laid before the Magistrates, agaitist indiv . iduals engaged in the riots in-question, that • it was surprising more were not apprehende d Mr. HUME had not heard the Learned Lord say, that the deposition on which the.

The LORD ADVOCATif yenned (as.firci under stood the Learned Lord), that that was not the practice of the Law of Scotland: :I'he . Public prosecutor proceeded OR the - information . which he received 3 and was of course answerable for his acts. • Me. HvnlE observed, that this shewe .the de plorable state of the people of Scotland; and that they we re n o t on th e same footing as_ . the klnglish with reference to. theirrights and liberties; He repeated at considerable length the'circtrinitances of the case under consideration, and expressed his earnest hope that the - House.: . Watild, by a Committee or otherwise, institute an inquiry into the subject. If the Lord Advocate had: thus the power of apprehending any inclividuaLin Scot land without a. previous deposition on oath, the Scottish .peopl e were in a state of slavery Be (Mr. Hume) -might be taken from his_ home the next time he returned thither, as _no doubt-many persons .would be very glad if he were. —(A laugh.)—lf he continued to go on as he was doing, it would be clifficult for him to say !my long he might keep out of the Learned Lord's .clutCles.

Whenever a complaint was . made of the conduct 'of any gaoler, h e was immediately described as one of the best of men. The. Hon. Member for the county who had gone down to the Sessions, would speedily have an opportunity of knowing what the real state of Ilchester Gaol was. Sir It.

EXCHEQUER muved that the House resolve itself into a Committee of Supply. Colonel DAVIES rose to Submit the motion.of which he had -given notice, that an humble ad.- dress be`' presented to his Majesty, praying' that for Abe present and future ease 'of the country, his Majesty would be graciously pleased to employ the Half-pay Officers who are qualified to , serve his Majesty. He proposed the employment. of the Half-pay Officers only for one half.the vacan cies that might occur in each regiment. A similar motion had been agreed to without a dissentient voice in 1740. Lord PALMERSTON said his only objection to the motion was, 'that it 'was not called for, and that it would therefore be a censtire : iipon the conduct of the Commander-in-Chief. Fhtiing the fine years from 1816 to 1821, 411 officers were brought to fultpay without exchange 'or. purchase, and 762- .by exchange : altogetheti'• 2,173 half-pay officers were in that period. brought to full pay: His Lordship calculated that there . were now 8,100 half-p a y o ffi cers , t h at . ‘ 4,400 of them were ineligible , or unwilling to serVe, and that the remaining 3,700 who were eligible or willing, vvotild, at the rate at which half-pay were brought Ao full pay in the last 10-e' • years, be all brought to full pay in the course : f. ‘ nine years.

Captain O'GRADY recommended the employ ment of half-pay officers in various situations throughout the country, in preference to others, Mr. HumE stated, that of 1,105 Ensigns auct, i .:- ,CometS appointed in the last five years, only were from the half-pay, which gave the miser:: able proportion of 10 per annum. !
