MACLEAN, Secretary. THE CHOLERA. (FROM THE COUNCIL OFFICE-RECEIVED YESTERDAY.) CASES OF SUSPECTED CHOLERA. We regret to learn that some cases (in all seven) of so alarming a nature have been reported from Rotherhithe and Limehouse, that the Central Board of Health have been induced to send deputations from their body to in vestigate the nature of these cases, and, if necessary, to carry into execution such measures as may be requisite for the preservation of the public health. By a letter received this day from the Health Depart ment at Paris, it appears that an English vessel, the Lin nett, 48 tons, Scharwell, master, which sailed from Rye on the 3d of January, with 36 passengers (mechanics,) entered a bay on the coast of Brittany on the night of the 19th of January, when the captain and three men landed without having had any communication with the Health Authorities. Immediate alarm was given by the guards, when the captain and those with him were forced t 3 re turn to their vessel at the point of the bayonet, and fortu nately without any of those serious consequences to them selves, which might have been incurred by their ewn im prudent conduct. As a punishment, however, fur their infringement of the local regulations, the vessel and all on board were placed in strict quarantine, and when released will, pro bably, be punished by fine and imprisonment. (From the Glasgow Herald.) We have still to felicitate ourselves on there being no appearance of cholera in Glasgow; and as it appears to have exhausted itself in Kirkintilloch, we trust that it will pass over us altogether. (From the Edinburgh Evening Courant.) We have authority to state, that the Board of Health kave never contemplated so early interment of patients dying of cholera as might be supposed from the letter of Dr. Craigie, published in our last The arrangement they have made is this, that on a death from cholera being reported by the medical attendant, the treasurer of the parish, who is to undertake the funeral in every case of poverty, shall immediately send a cere-cloth to envelope the body, in which it is to lie till the friends or relations are perfectly satisfied of the propriety of its interment. We understand chit the Board have received so many accounts of suspicion of the communication of the infection by the bodies of persons who have died of cholera having been excited in the minds not only of illiterate persons but of the most intelligent medical men, that they do not, think themselves entitled to proceed on the supposition that these suspicions are unfounded, but they are fully aware of the necessity of re-pecting the feelings arid even prejudices of the people in their arrangements on this sub ject. (From the New North Briton.) A fatal case of cholera has occurred in Edinburgh, in Caul's-close, Canonvate ; the patient, an elderly female, a collector of old clothes, and of intemperate habits, had been going about in the exercise of her vocation on Mon day and Tuesday, and was taken ill on Wednesday. She was removed to Queensberry Hospital, and, as a measure of precaution, her family have also been placed there. It bag not been ascertained whether she had been to Mouth burgh or not. She died on Wednesday evening. Board of Health Office, Edinburgh, Feb. 10. There is no case at present under treatment in Echnburgh. W. C. CUNINGHAM, Secretary. There were two cases reported to the Board on Tiiura day as having occurred in Edinburgh on Wednesday.— both reported cures. PORTOBELLO. --A man of the name of Ri?chie, a shoe maker, of very dissolute habits, was taken al on Monday, and on Wednesday his case was pronouvetd to br one of Aechied eh-!era. lie died that night, and was buried on Thursday. We are informed that his illness may be cle irly traced to the circumstance of his having been at Dlu•aelburgh on Sunday in a state of intoxication. STATE OF THE CHOLERA AT FISHER -ROW, NIUSSELIIIIIIGH, PRESTONPANS, AND TRANENT.—A9 it may be satisfactory to the public to learn the r al state of the districts in our neighbourhood at present afflicted with the cholera, we have great pleasure iu communicating the following particulars from an eminent medical man who visited them on Thursday last, in company with several medical friends. About mid-day we entered Fisherrow, and were rejoiced to observe the countenances of the people as we passed through the village, and, more parti cularly, various groups sauntering in the neighbourhot d of the New•bridge, both cheerful and serene. On approach ing the gate of the cholera hospital, situated between the New and Old Bridges, several boys and children were Amusing themselves at play. On entering the hospital, we were happy to find only four patients, and they were in a state of c onvalescence. The nurses and attendants, consisting of four females and two men, were perfectly cheerful, and by no means betrayed the slightest appre hension either of infection or contagion. These indivi duals have been exposed in the same apartments with the patients since the hospital w as i nst i tuted, without . experiencing the effects of the disease. On inquiry of the medical ge ntlemen in the hospit a l, we were g i ven to understand that no new cases had occurred in the village on that day. W e next proceeded to Musselburgh, where we found the hospital shut up, there being no further oc casion for it; no new cases in the town. We found Prestonpans equally healthy, there being only three con valescing patients in the hospital, and no new cases in the town. The inhabitants both at Musselburgh and Pres tonpans exhibited the same cheerful countenances as those at Fisherrow. We were informed by the medical attend at the hospital that all the cases in the village were also convalescent. From thence we proceeded to Tranent, and found the hospital there in similar circumstances with those we had already visited in the other villages. We visited several patients in their own houses, all of whom were convalescent, with the exception of one, an old woman in very destitute circumstances, then in a dying state, after three days' illness. She was attended by her daughters and other female relatives, who exhibited every mark of kindness and humane attention, nor did they betray the slightest symptom of dread from being in constant con tact with the sufferer. The same humanity and regard was evinced by the relations and attendants of the other pa tients. On returning through Eisherrow in the evening, We again visited the hospital, and were glad to learn that no uew cases had occurred. The Ultra-Tory Boroughmongering Click, who have usually assembled at their den in Charles-street, St. James's-square, met yesterday in great force, for the first time, at the house of Sir ROUERT PERL, in Privy Gardens, by special summons. One o'clock was the hoer appointed, but it was nearly two before many Members of the Upper House arrived. The business of the meeting, which, we understand, was extremely stormy, related entirely to the tacticx to be adopted during the further progress of the Reform Bill. Miss SMYTHE, whose approaching alliance With Sir yRFDERIFIC. HER? E Y BATHURST, Bart., of the Grenadier Guards, is just announced, is niece to Mrs. FITZHERLIERT, who, before her anion with her first husband, Jolla WFLp, E-q., of Lulworth Cistle, was a Miss SMYTHE, daughter of WALTER. SMYTHE, Esq. of Tonge Castle, and niece to Sir E. SstviutE, Bart., of Acton Burnell, in Shropshire. After the death of Mr. Wr.t..n she became the wile of Mr. FITZ/IR/011MT, a Staffordshire gentleman, who died, at a very early age, in 1780. Itticas OY YOIVEIGN FUNr" ”mtrian Bonds .........

We regret to state, from the subjoined official report, that the cholera has at, length made its appearance in London. Let the people fear not ; but endeavour to meet the evil with forti tude, temperance, and a full reliance in Provi dence. The only wonder is that we have escaped so long : COUNCIL OFFICE, FEB, 13, 1832. Ten cases of a highly suspicious nature have been re ported to the Central Board of Health within the last two days. Three of these cases are already dead, and two others are reported desperate. Three of the cases occurred at Rotherhithe : one a coal-dredger, one a ship's scraper, and one a sailor out of employ. Three took place at Limehouse : one a woman of loose character —two, a mother and her child of nine years of age. One case, a woman in the Borough ; a child was ill in the same house. One man on board the Augusta, from Inverness, eight days in London; the man is now on board the Dreadnought. One man on board the Bradford, lying at Dept ford Creek. The medical gentlemen deputed by the Board to inquire into the nature of these cases, have as yet been able to see no more than three during life, viz.,—one at Rotherhithe, the sailor; the man be longing to the ship Auglata, and the child in the Borough. One examination after death wai made by these gentlemen, and from their report the Board regret to state, that they consider themselves bound to declare that there seems but little doubt, that the majority of the above cases have been affected with genuine spasmodic cholera. COUNCIL OFFICE, QUARTER- PAST Two, P.M. Since writing the above, official reports have been re ceived of the death of the three cases at Litnehouse. We understand that a Russian Cabinet courier, named NA suLIN, arrived in town last night at the residence of the Russian Am bassador, with despatches. It is supposed that the despatches are of more than ordinary impor tance, as the messenger crossed the channel in an open boat. Perhaps he is the bearer of the long-promised ratification ! The delay in the creation of Peers begins to excite a universal feeling of astonishment through. out the country. We might, if we pleased, with perfect truth, use a stronger term than " astonish ment," but we forbear. It is generally rumoured, and, almost as generally believed, that Lord GREY has received from his MAJESTY a carte blanche for the creation of as many Peers as he may think requisite to ensure the full triumph of the Reform Bill, and consequently people now begin to ask each other the question, how it is that his Lordship thus delays, day after day, to give the country an assurance that he will exert to the utmost ex tent that power with which hi noble-minded and patriotic SOVEREIGN has so liberally invested him ? The question is an appropriate one, and deserves a prompt and satisfactory answer. If Peers are really to be created, the country cannot be too soon assured of the fact, in order that a proper degree of confidence may be thereby restored to trade, now languishing and crippled in all its members ; and if they are not to be created, still the country cannot be too soon acquainted with the full extent of its disap pointment, in order that the fearful blow may not fall on it by surprise, and so paralyze its better energies. We are far from desiring to convey by these remarks, even a doubt that Earl GREY will not fulfil his pledges—for is he not pledged, doubly and trebly pledged, to carry the Reform Bill, and is not a creation of Peers, the most, indeed the only, fitting in strument wherewith to carry it ?—still we cannot but feel apprehension, or something akin to it, at the st•ange delay and apparent apathy in the Cabinet to adopt the only successful means to give the country that just and national representation for which it has so long panted, and which it is now determined on obtaining. The Reform Bill is already carried, if three kingdoms have any voice, if their resolution have any in fluence ; but it is not carried in the calm, and dignified, and constitutional manner in which such measures, to do real good to the commu nity, should be carried. If Lord GREY really de sire to become the benefactor of his country, and win himself a name among those who shall come after him, let him at once away with all tem poriziHg—all vacillation—all absurd attempt to conciliate those, whom nothing short of the resignation of the entire Cabinet can con ciliate, and adopt in their stead energy, promp titude, and resolution. The French Papers of Saturday have been re ceived. On that day an ordinance appeared in the Moniteur, calling out the conscription of 80,000 men for 1831. This does not look much like a belief on the part of the citizen KING that the Northern Powers are sincere in their professions of maintaining peace. The arrival of the refugee Poles in France continues daily—and their reception does honour to the kind-heartedness and enthusias m o f t h e French people. Far different is their treatment by the Prussians ; but we hope that the day of their national regeneration is net far off, though clouded for the present. Confiscation tied banishment are the order of the day in Poland. The moat barbarous cruelties are daily perpetrated on the poor defenceless people, under the pretence that they have been engaged in the revolution. Ex tracts from these Papers will be found in ano. ther part of the Paper. Priva e letters from Holland state that such is the activity with which the armaments are carried on, that all vessels not wanted as merchantmen are equipped as men-of-war. Dutch and German Papers have been received this morning. The note of preparation still sounds busy with the King of HOLLAND, and the subscriptions to the voluntary loan continue to pour in. Well, and what does all this indi cate ? Not peace, surely. Is the Dutch KING so mad as to think of war single-handed against Belgium, now recognized by France and Eng land? We really cannot credit such a preposterous intention on the part of the cautious though obstinate Dutchman. The true secret then, if he is bent on war, must be that he relies on assistance from the Northern Powers, or one of them—and which one would dare to back up his pretensions against France and England ? Time must answer. With regard to the news in the German Papers, we learn that the SULTAN, instead of adjusting matters with the rebellious Pacha of EGYPT, is straining every nerve to prosecute the war against him. it now appears that the report of the PAcnA's defeat at St. Jean IYAcre is not correct, if we may believe news from Smyrna. The following are extracts THE HAGUE, FEB. 9.—Lieutenant-General Constant de Rebecque arrived here yesterday from the head-quarters. Professor Hendriks, Dr. Beckwood, and Dr. Arntzenius, who wers sent by our Government to study the Asiatic cholera on the spot, returned tc, this place last week, hav ing enjoyed good health during the three months of their absence. They are engaged in drawing up a detailed account of their important mission. The Cu racoa steam-boat arrived on the 4th in the roads of Flushing, from London, with despatches for our Go vernment, NiTe hear that eighty-two millions are subscribed to the voluntary loan. The Second Chamber of the States-General bas been chiefly engaged in hearing petitions. NIUFCHATEL, JAN. 30. —On the 27th a proclamation was issued by the Royal Commissioner Major-General Von Pine!, declaring that as the tranquillity of the principality seems to be in no danger either from within or without, the state of war in which it was placed shall cease; any part of the principality in which public tranquillity may be again disturbed, will if needful be again declared in a state of war (under martial law). The General fur ther says, "I also declare that all the extraordinary mea sures that were adopted during the late events shall have no injurious consequences to the rights and liberties of the inhabitants of the States." The second son of the King of Prussia is shortly ex pected here, as his Majesty has ceded to him the right. , and title of Sovereign Prince of Neufchatel and Valencia AMSTERDAM, PER. 10. . .

Exchange upon London, one month I I R 7 5-10 Two Months CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 10.—On the representation of the Grand Vizier, Redechid Alehemed Pacha, of the neces sity of confiding the provinces of Albania, which have been brought back to their obedience, to a mild and experienced Governor, the Sultan has given the Government of Scutari, with the Saniiks of Ochri and Elbassan, to Ali Bamik Pacha, formerly Governor of Bosnia, and he is also• directed to introduce the new military system into those provinces. The Pachalik of Widdin, thus becoming vacant, is given to the late Vizier, Izzed Alehemed Pacha. Ibrahim Pacha, lately appointed Governor of Bosnia, being found inca pable to rw•ore order in that province, has been removed from his Ace, and ordered to repair to the head-quarters t Alonaster. Alehemed Hamad Pacha, Governor of Tir hala, celebrated fur his valour, is appointed Governor of Bosnia, and retains also Tirhala. The armaments against the Pacha of Egypt are pro ceeding with great activity. A very large three-decker is getting ready, in which the Capita❑ Pasha will probably hoist his flag when the fleet sai s. Notice. having been given by ihe British legation of the expected arrival of Sir S. Canning, orders have been given fir his entrance with a frigate and gem-boat, and Ismer Bey is sent as at•htnander to meet him at the Dardanelles. Tie Moniteu , i. n.)w to be published in the Greek and A rmnian lan,,uages also, The sanitary state of the capital is daily improving, and the cold season will probably cause the plague to disappear entirely. The Ottoman Itfoniteur, of 7th January, announces that the army of the Gland Vi3tii-r, which has so successfully terminated the troubles in Albania, will return to the capital this winter, notwithstanding the severity of the weather and the badness of the roads. The Seraskicr has submitted a plan for the subsistence and accommodation of the troops on their march,which ha , been approves; of by the sultan An important resolution has been taken with respect to the island of Scio and the coast of Tschesine. The Greek inhabitants have petitioned the Sultan to restore their estates, which were confiscated during the insurrection, the inhabitants of Aiwali having already received that favour. T"ie S.iltati, therefore, summoned the chief jobs hi•ants of Scio to Constantinople. It seems that their confiscated estates produce to the Imperial Treasury 220,000 piastres annually, and that this revenue might be increased in time. The Sultan, however, de signing to promote the welfare of his suhjrcts, paid no regard to the interests of the treasury. Tice inhabi tants summoned to Constantinople, promised in the name of their countrymen, that out of gratitude for the restore• tion of their property, and as an indemnity to the treasury, they would pay once for all 1,000 pares (500,000 piastres. ) The Sultan has not only granted the entire restitution of their lands, but has refused the indemnity offered by the inhabitants of Scio, and desired them to employ the sum in the cultivation and improvements which the restored estates may require. The execution of this measure is confided to the receiver of taxes of the island, who is en joined to examine the title of the claimants, arid the only condition on which the property is restored, is that the possessor shall faithfully perform his duties as a subject. Should he neglect these duties, the property now restored will be irrevocably taken from him. This imperial decree has excited the raost lively joy in the hearts of all the in habitants of Scio, on the coast of Tacheme. We direct attention to the naval estimates for the year 1832-3, by which it will be see❑ that they are reduced nearly one million sterling. This looks well for the navy ; but how much will he saved in the army ? Two millions, 4t least ? KING'S THEATRE.—DONNEZETTI'S L'Esud di Roma was played un Saturday for the third time. This opera gains but little in public estimation by repeti tion ; and toough, from the style in which it has been mounted it may occasionally be played with advantage, yet, valuing its present success by a pecuniary standard, we cannot consider it as an acquisition to the repertoire of the establishment. Madame Mnatc and Signori Wpt- TER and Mantalsi have fully confirmed our first impres sions of their respective abilities. The lady gave the con cluding cavatina, " Ogni tormento," with a refinement of taste and a delicacy of execution, which the house unani mously appreciated. We hope, shortly, to see the talents of these artistes further developed ; bur, in the meantime, we think that Mr. AlAsoN exercises a sound judgment in deferring the production of new operas until they have un dergone a through rehearsing. EXPEDITION TO THE NIGER.—II is, we are informed, the intention of a company of merchants at Liverpool to equip a steamer of 100 tons burden, and other vessels, for a trading voyage up the Niger. We have further learned that the merchants have it in contempla tion to send a limited number of Moravian Missionaries with the expedition, who are to remain in the countrY though this matter is, we believe, as yet undecided. The vessels, it is expected ; witl leave Liverpool about May neat. —Literary Gazette. , ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF BARKERS CHARITY. JUDGMENT. His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment this morning in this case, which came before the Court upon petition, praying the appointment of a new trustee under the Ist William IV. By settlement, a . considerable trust fund in Three per Cent. Bank Annuities was vested in trustees, one of whom having declined to act, and there being no power given in the settlement for the appointment of a new trustee, the present petition was presented, the parties contend.. ing that under the 10th section the Court had the power. Hia Honour had read the Act very carefully, and did not consider himself authorised to comply with the prayer of the petition without the filing of a bilL GYHAN V. BUTT. The COURT also gave judgment in this case, which, in its circumstances, was extremely similar to the preceding case. The petitioners were the persons equitably entitled for life and remainder, under a will, to a leasehold messuage in Bond. street, held under the Corporation of the city of London. The Corporation were willing to renew the lease, many years of which were at the present moment unex pired, on the old lease being surrendered to them. The executor of the surviving trustee, under the will, refused to surrender the lease, or act as a trustee ; and the present petition prayed for the appointment of a new trustee. The question with the Court was whether that could be done under the ninth section of the Act without a bill, which his Honour was clearly of opinion it could not, the words in the clause applying only to a surrender pro hoc rice. VICE CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY. His Honour the VICE CHANCELLOR was occupied the greater part of this morning with the part-heard motion of " °livers v. Scott." COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY. DOE ON THE DEMISE OF WATTS e. LINDLEY. Sir JAMES SCARLETT and Mr. MANNING, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. CAMPBELL for the defendant. This was an action of ejectment to recover possession of two houses, upon the ground of a breach of the covenants of the lease. The person under whom defendant held the premises, purchased the lease in 1810 for 59 years, at a rent of 101. a year, and paid 480/. for the lease. The premises were now let at 461. a year. It was contended that the covenants were broken by the non-payment of the insurance, and by refusing to keep the premises in necessary repair, The case occupied nearly the whole of the morning, but the particulars were wholly uninteresting except to the parties con cerned. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. 1100 PER v. WARNER. This case, which was understood to be an action to recover damages from the defendant, for cries. con. with the wife of the plaintiff, was called on, and the parties consented to a verdict for the plaintiff for 4101. CONSISTORY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION. As soon as the Judge had taken his seat this morning, a lady entered the Court, and intimated her desire to know how she should proceed to obtain alimony allotted to her by the Court many years since. She stated that she was the Countess of Kirkwall, and that she wished to obtain the reversion of a proceeding relative to the alleged last will of Lord Kirkwall. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, that he could not interfere in any matter having reference to wills, the Copsistorial Court had no jurisdiction in such cases, and that application should be made to Sir J. Nichol, the Judge of the Prerogative Court. Lady Kirkwall said she wished to have the assistance of the Court how to proceed. She had not been paid her alimony, on the ground that Lord Kirkwall was dead. She was prepared to prove that his Lordship was alive, and that she was injured in her fair fame, and her rights kept from her. She implored the Court to hear the papers she had presented read. Dr. LUSHINGTON said if it was her Ladyship's wish he would order the papers to be read. The Registrar read the first document, and it purported to be a copy of a petition addressed to the Lord Chancellor, setting forth, in the most flowery language, the evils her Ladyship had suffered. LUSHINGTON said he could not permit the other papers to be read, as they all appeared to be on matters of which the Court could not take cognizance. Lady Kirkwall said she could prove that Lord Kirkwall was alive. She wished the Court to direct her how she should pro ceed. She had 1, 4 2004 alimony allotted to her, none of which had been paid. LUSHINGTON said a monition should be taken out for the payment of the alimony. He must have good and efficient proof that Lord Kirkwall was alive. Lady Kirkwall said she could procure good evidence that the Noble Lord's will had passed probate improperly, and that he was still alive. lfer Ladyship, after some further conversation, retired. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice PELL, at the sitting of the Court tosday, took occasion to remark, that in the case of ez,parte Brown, which was heard on Saturday, he had not yet received a copy of the petition. He wished the profession to understand, that the Court would not in future entertain any matter unless the ne cessary papers giving the Court an insight into the ma/Ur brought forward were delivered. Mr. SWANTON observed that there must be some mistake, as his client had four copies of the petition made for the Court. Mr. Justice pELL observed that such occurrences must not take place in future. The COURT then proceeded with the part heard case of LOWE v. AARON, which has already occupied their Honours two days. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Generally of a Monday morning we have a number of arri_ vats, but it is not the case this morning, for we have no ship letters. A Dutch mail has arrived, and the estafette from Paris. At present we do not hear of political news of importance ; by the former, and by the latter arrival, the informants at Paris send conjectures and speculations, such as that the King of Prussia is going to abdicate his throne in favour of his son. This report was circulated some months since ; indeed, according to the reading of some of the French Papers, it is warlike, as well as the accounts from Holland. The Gaze:te of Necker , states that the reduction of the Austrian army is only insignificant, and that an autograph letter from the Emperor was sent to the Council of War, stating that the reduction of the Austrian army was to be discontinued. The late affitirs Of Italy might have given some alarm to the Powers on the Continent, who are at present obliged to keep an Army of Observation, fearing that the revolutionary principle might spread further, but the private letters from mercantile houses at Paris continue tube of a pacific nature, and assert that the Dutch treaty will soon be ratified. All political news Is absorbed in the city this morning, by re ports of the cholera being at Limehouse, as well as the other side of the river; we have just seen a gentleman from Limehousc this morning, who pos tively contradicts the statement. Our Funds are heavy this morning, owing to the estafette from Paris. Consols, which left ofF oti Saturday at 8 2 2?. 6 3 4 for account, opened at 62t4 %, at which price they are at present, and for money SN, little or nothing doing as yet. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. We have made inquiry in regard to the Park report of the King of Prussia going to abdicate his throne, which is entirely discredited. The letters to-day from St. Petersburgh, state that great activity prevails in the various departments; several couriers Arrived there in the course of one day, and as many dispatched. It seems that some active negociation► are going forward, but all is kept a profound secret. The cholera mortals in London is still the general topic of conversation in the city, and has created some alarm, but we should imagine it is the typhus fever, as this malady is raging with great severity at Mile-end and its neighbourhood, owing to the great distress and want of substantial food amongst the lower classes of society in that populous district ; this has had some effect on our Funds.

This morning James Barrett , aged 23 years, who had been convicted last Old Bailey Sessions for stealing letters containing various sums of money and bills of exchange to a large amount, was executed, pursuant to his sentence. fronting the debtors' door of Newgate. From the time of his committal by the Magistrate, the wretched culprit appeared to feel that all hope of escape had fled, and his behaviour since was such as convinced every per son who had access to him, that he was fully prepared to meet his fate. lie paid the utmost attention to his religious duties, in order to prepare him to meet his fate with fortitude and resignation. Yesterday afternoon his wife and child visited him for the last time, and the interview and separation were of a most agonizing description. During the night he slept for six hours, and when the officers visited him this morning they awoke him, atter which. at his own request, he was supplied with some coffee and toast, Shortly before eight o'clock, the Sheriffs and linder-Sheriffs having arrived, the wretched man was brought from his cell to the Press-room ;he was remarkably pale, but walked firmly and unsupported. The process of pinioning was gone through in perfect silence, not even a single word escaping from his lips, and at eight o'clock the melancholy procession moved towards the drop. The Rev. Mr. Cotton and Mr. Baker walked near him, and engaged him earnestly in prayer. lie ascended the ladder to the drop without erincing the slightest want of that firmness which he had all along possessed. The executioner having adjusted the fatal cord, the Rev. Mr- Cotton gave the accustomed signal, and the wretched man was launched into eternity. He struggled but for a few seconds, and then life ceased to exist. The unfortunate young man was, we understand, of a re.. spectable family. He was executed with a pair of white kid gloves on, which was stated to be at his own request. The crowd that had assembled was much less than uguat SHIPPING INlELLl(iENcE—crtils DAY. FROM LLOYD'S.

This morning there is a moderate quantity of most kinds of Grain fresh up. The trade continues extremely dull for Wheat, and with the exception of superfine samples may be reported Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. Barley meets a very slack sale, and is again rather cheaper. Beans sell slowly at last quotations. Boiling Pease are excoi sively dull and cheaper. Grey Pease are unaltered. Oats con. tinue very plentiful, and may be reported Is. per quarter lower . fhe Flour trade remains excessively dull, and to make sales less pricer must be taken. PRIMES ON BO Wheat, Reif.

JOUtfillik ' - 7 • / It is very odd that the titti batch of Peers has been so long in the oven., H ere i s a c l ear and overpowering necessity for a certain act of . , royal power—a full and unambi guous authoriti;•l vested (Idle Sovereign and his Mi n i sters to 'c'er- alete that act—a universal declaration from all tliose people of England, in c l u di ng t h e laswholesesofthe popular interest of the country, from who m the greatest jealousy o f an y un d ue exercise o f the prerogative might be expected, that nothing would ao much gratify the public feeling as the creation of just Peers enough to carry the Reform Bill, and an equal unequivocal manifestation by the anti-Reformers, that nothing would be so sub , versive of their corrupt projects ; yet, somehow or other, no Peers are yet made. Even a dozen or two to begin upon, would relieve the public anxiety. if Lord Grey suffer himself to be cajoled by the middle—that is to say, the most dangerous —section of the Tories, who prom:se that they will support the second reading of the Bill, into any hope that they will not move heaven and earth to destroy it in Committee, his Lordship will show himself, what we trust 11 ,, is not, a most egregious simpleton. The enemy will in that case attack the 10/. clause,—al.3olish the metropolitan Members,--disqualify town free holders from voting for their respective countie.,— and effectually swamp whatever was valuabe in the measure. Lord Grey ought to be told that he is destroying the confidence of his friends, and encouraging his bitterest enemies, and th,;.: the sole cure for either evil is to produce an im mediate Gazette of Peers.—Times. A return has been made to Parliament of the number of persons confined in the different gaols of England, Scotland, and Wales, for offences against the game laws, the period to which their confinement extends, and the tribunal by which their sentence was pronounced. This return was ordered in October last, and consequently includes few commitments under the new Act. Since that Act came into operation the number of commitments has greatly increased, and in some counties, as we are informed, has nearly doubled. The present official return gives 592 imprisonments for England alone, and, adding the fruits of magisterial activity since the Ist of November, probably our gaols contain, at pre sent, not fewer than 1,000 persons for trans gressions against the game laws. We have not room for entering at present on the subject; but a very cursory glance at the return cannot fail to suggest a few remarks. It is curious, then, that in the whole of Scotland, there are only six persons now in prison for transgressing the game laws ofthar country, though the Scotch proprietors are as te nacious of their rights, and as fond of their amusements, as the landed aristocracy in any other part of the empire. Of mine, in the greatest part of the counties, a cStiviction under the game laws is never heard of. Of the six persons confined, three are in one county, Ayr ; one in Lanark, one in Renfrew, and one in Rox burgh. The term of imprisonment is short in all those cases except the last, which is extended to a year, no doubt from some great aggravation of the offence of poaching. The chief reasons, probably, why there are so few prosecutions for poaching in Scotland are, in the first place, the small number of expensive preserves in that country ; ie the second place, the general aver sion of the people to appeal to the criminal law against their neighbours; and in the third place, the greater impartiality of the tribunal before whom offenders are tried. In Scotland, it should be recollected that there is not one clerical Justice. In the small county of Bucks, which is blessed with so many Anti-Reformers and clerical Magi strates, we find twenty-six persons in prison for transgressions against the game laws. We shall quote a few of these cases as given in the return :—" William Butler, imprisoned thirteeen weeks for killing a pheasant." " George Thorn, twelve weeks, for exposing to sale a hen phea sant." " William Hart, twelve weeks, for hav ing in his possession one hare." " George Burnall, halt-a-year, for using a dog with in tent t o kill hares." Verily the Bucks Magi strates have little respect for the liberty of real or reputed poachers. All these twenty-six convictions are declared to have been effected in a summary way by one or two Magistrates ; and whether the death of a hare or a pheasant was in question, or an intent only to kill a hare or a pheasant was imputed, half-a-year is the usual term of confinement av,'4.irded by these merciful Judges. In the county of Cornwall, so fatuous for rotten boroughs, we find only one conviction under the game laws. Devon seems nearly as free from the nuisance, having only two ► prisoners for poaching. In the county of Nottingham we find thily-two persons in gaol for offences against the game laws, more than the half of whom have been sentenced by a single Magistrate. Some of these wretched men are immured in a dungeon for months, not for killing game, bu f keeping a net or snares with the ;Went to kill game. In the county of Suffolk, 42 oersous are now in gaol on convictions, awn bel,ire one Magistrate, for having snares or game nt their possession. But the county where poachers seem most to. abound, or at least where the Ma gistrates, are the must vigilant in protectimmg game, is Hampshire. In the gaol* of ,hat county are to be found, by this return, 43 poor creatures, who have been perhaps driven by want of employment, or insufficient remuneration for their labour, to attempt to eke out their scanty earnings by depredations on fields, wood.:, or preserves. Since this return was made. the number of prisoners is said to amount to 90.- 1 Neither the H awes nor the qualities of the coin nutting Magistrates are g i ven ; b ut , w h oever they are, they seem to be resolute game protectors, who have no misgivings as to the amount of punishment which they may award, or the extent of responsibility which they incur. Would the reader believe the fact, unless he had it on official author:ty, that 27 out of the 43 commitments above mentioned were made by one Magistrate, and all the rest by two Would a single Magistrate presume, unaided by a code of laws like the game laws. to con demn summtvily, at his own house, to terms of imprisonment of a quarter of a year or six months, any other class of oUnders for petty thefts ; and is the possessor of a snare, or the killer of a ph a saut, to be considered, like the animas wh.ch they pursue,fcrec naturce, to exercise the ma gisterial cross-bow of every rural Justice ? The return for Hatnpshire contains aqutlier striking peculiarity, which we hope will not escape the notice of the Home Secretary or of time public. In twenty-eight of the cases the poor creatures are said to have been committed to gaol for g a wire," months, not oitfur might killin o g ; but •;,7.,usilenf in :our cas es wh ere t h e terms of imprisoam,n t are a charge of long, the conviction took o:enainlytitieeol:t?tt:eirnabd:elierornik)carilssicoa,inileil(:-/:'prwohird.cirte,fel"nni'.ysti.afinwvd:Nwrnee'et'kgini: i.
