Several gentlemen charged witness with , eglectink his duty, for allowing the prisoner to stand there, and he accordingly went up and desired uim to move on; but he took no notice of witness, nd he was therefore obliged to take him to tl'e -tation-house. Mr. HOSKINS—WeII, prisoner, what have you to , ay ? The prisoner, throwing up his arms and striking the bar, exclaimed in a vehement voice,— ' lam the servant of the Lord, sent to warn the people of his coming, and by him will I be judged Ind not by you !" (The prisoner was proceeding a this strain when) Mr. HOSKINS asked him if he had an♦ witness— Here a person stepped forward, and gave his name," Mr. George Robert Paul, of 54, Manches per-street." ; (No. 12,419.) LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1832. (PRICE 71).) ;ECON EDITION balance sheet of the income and expenditure for the year ending sth of April had not been laid before the House. And, if at the sth of January quarter the deficiency wa• great, it would still be more considerable, he was afraid, in the quarter whict bad since accrued due. Lord ALTHORP replied that as the financial state ment had not been m td e at the usual time, he had thought it better to postpone it until the present quarter also were made up. In the course of a few days it would be laid before the House. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. MANSION-HO USE. The LORD MAYOR was in the course of Saturday informed that a gentleman, with whom he was on terms of intimacy, had for some time been obliged to con fine himself to his room, in consequence of a singu larly distressing event, the particulars of which we shall relate as they were told to his Loruship. The invalid, a retired merchant, and an old bachelor, was in the habit of walking in the Zoological Gardens, to which he is a subscriber, and frequently met a lady there, to whom at length a shower of rain in troduced him. The offer of his umbrella was ac cepted, and a friendly acquaintance was the result The old gentleman at length found that the presence of his-new friend was actually indispensable to him; and although he was old enough to be her father, he determined to try to prevail on her to view him in the light of a nearer contemporary, and share his fortune. Upon the part of the lady there was very little hesitation. She discreetly represented the. disparity of their ages, and declared she was far from being affluent, and that probably both might improve their choice. She, however, intimated, that if care was taken to secure her from necessity in the event of the death of her husband, she would not object to accept of his proposals, hinting at the same time that her connexions were allied to nobility." "Oh !" replied the enamoured, " I have neither chick nor child, therefore your interest will be my first consideration, for I have no one to think about but yourself." " Why," said the LORD MAYOR, " he has his brother's poor family, whom he ought to think about; there are six or seven of them, without a shilling amongst them. He never thought of them at the time.'' Informant.—His heart was touched with the softer passion. After the lapse of some days lie fell sick, and the lady was never from his elbow till he recovered. She proved, indeed, she was capable of pleasing him as a nurse, the only character which it was probable she would ever be required to per form, so long as the old gentleman should be ma nager. The gold gentleman, although cured of the disorder with which he had been attacked, was ex ceedingly languid. He had previously spoken of fixing a day, but was met by some delicate little scruples on the part of the lady. At length, upon seeing that his distress increased, she told him that she would be ready to become his for ever. " Thanks, dea rest," said he, " the sooner the better." " Why, say to-morrow, if you choose," said the lady, " we can easily procure a license at Doctors' Commons through Mr. Slade or Mr. Pritchard." The old gentleman rejoiced at the thought, and, after medi tating a few moments, said, " It is very odd, my dear Emma—l am no ways superstitious—but it is very odd, and I look on it as a queer kind of omen, hat I have never known, and never asked you, your name." " I can tell you, my dear," said the lady, smiling, " that it does not begin with the the first letter in the alphabet." " Oh, Lord !" craid the old gentleman, staring at her with eyes like saucer., " It ain't the last, is it—you are not Miss ?" (a lady well known to the " charitable and humane" in the metropolis.) " Alas ! the last is it ! I am that celebrated, but utthappy young per son."—(Loud laughter.) The LORD MAYOR.—And did they marry ?—No, said the informant ; when he found he had a person to deal with upon whose promise other gentlemen might have previous claims, and to whom he might be responsible, he cut as soon and as genteelly as possible. As for his friend, that worthy gentleman might meet with some object in the Zoological Gar dens calculated to answer his purpose as well. IMPERIALPARLIAMENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. PHILLIPS (the Clerk)—What are you ? Mr. Paul (in a loud voice)—A preacher of the vord of God—And say the way was not blocked up ')y that servant of Christ. The carriages of the rich -ire suffered to block up the way—the puppet-shows ire suffered to block up the way ; hut the servants of the Lord are denied the privilege of speech. Mr. HOSKINS —Officer, rake them out. The pri soner must find bail. Prisoner (on leaving the room)—Oh I Lord, have mercy on this wicked Magistrate, for insulting thy beloved servant. When locked up, he conducted himself in such an outrageous manner, that the business of the office was suspended for several minutes; and it was fctilnd necessary to clear the office-yard, and close the door. Mr. Paul in the meantime was h3ranguing the persons collected outside, on the wickedness of the Magistrate, and in such a loud tone, that he could at intervals be distinctly heard in the justice-room. ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, JAN. 11, 1832. NAVAL HALF-PAY. T o avoid the inconvenience and delay which has sometimes occurred in the payment of Naval Ralf-Pay by the irregular transmission of Affidavits. the Commissioned and Warrant Officers of his Majesty's Navy, residing within the United Kingdom, and receiving their Half-Pay through Agents, are hereby desired to transmit their Affidavits to such Agents within ten days at most after the expiration of each Quarter, so as to enable the Agents to receive the amount due on the days regularly appointed for the payment of the respective ranks. GEORGE ELLIOT. The Hon. Colonel GREY was introduced by Mr. LAMB and Lord EBRINGTON, and took the oaths and his seat for Wycombe, in the room of Sir Thomas Baring. The O'CONNOR DON presented two petitions from the united parishes of Kilcomsn and Rogan, in the county of Meath, one in favour of the Government plan of education in Ireland, and the ether in favour of a more extensive plan of Reform for Ireland. Mr. LEFRO Y presented three petitions from parishes in the county of Longf.rd, against the Government plan education in Leland. The Hon. Member said he had now presented from every parish in that county against the measure, and the clergy, at the head of whom was the Archblshop, who had opposed it. Sir R. I3ATESON presented petitions from the parishes of Antrim and Bushbills, and. from a Presbyterian con gregation in the county o" Antrim against the Govern ment plan of education. Out of 2,400 Protestant cler gymen in Ireland, only twenty-nine had applied for schools under the new system, and not one of the Synod of Ulster had applied. The petitions were ordered to be printed. The HON. MEMBER then presented a petition from a clergyman of the county of Londonderry, against the re peal of certain enactments against clandestine Roman Ca tholic marriages. To a question from Sir ROBERT Notts regarding that Bill, Sir G. WARRENDER hoped that the subject of the Russian Convention would not be brought before the House at th it advanced state of the Session, when Hon. Members would not have it in their power to give that attention to it, which the importance demanded. Lord ALTHORP assured the Hon. Baronet that no one was more anxious for a full attendance on occasion of the discussion of that subject than he (Lou] A.) was. Mr. DAWSON wished to ask a question of the Noble Lord opposite (Althorp), relative to the offices of Lord Privy Seal and Postma.ter-General. It appeored from the evidence of Lord Durham before the Committee, that he bad refused to receive any (alary from his office up to up to that period, hut he understood that the Noble Lord ?:ad since - F.: - . - nsented to receive his salary, and he wished to know whether it had been paid, and whether it had been demanded from the period of the Noble Lords appoint ment. He wished also to extend the same question as regarded the Post Master General, who he also understood had daclined to receive any salary. This day is published, in Syn. price 21.

HARVEY, Esq., M.P., on the 14th of June, 1832, in the House of Commons, on moving for leave to bring in a Bill to Empower the Court of King's Bench to Regulate the Admission of Students to the Inns of Court, and their subsequent Call to the Degree of Barrister-at-Law ; with Explanatory Notes, together with a Prefatory Address to the Electors of Colchester, touching the official appoint. ment of Mr. Harvey under the Charities Commission, by Lord Brougham and the Lords Commissioners of his Ma jesty's Treasury. UNION-HALL. Mr. Hanson, a grocer, of Bread -street, Cheapside, was charged with violating the person of Charlotte Lake, aged 14. Complainant enrered Mr. Hanson's service on the 15th ult., and on Thursday, the 21st, he ordered her to go and clean our the rooms of a cottage at Walworth, which he had taken. In the evening, about half-past seven, he ordered her to go into the garden. He followed her, and forcibly threw her on the ground; and he prevented her from screaming by putting his hand over her mouth. He then committed the capital offence. In answer to the defendant's Solicitor, she said that her master had another servant, but she did not mention to her what had occurred, nor to her mas ter's wife. She had no opportunity of informing he family till Monday the 25th, when her sister called. She left the house that day. After the outrage she walked, with her master's child in her arms, from Walworth to Bread -street. Her master walked be fore her all the way, and she had no opportunity of leaving him. The defendant's solicitor remarked, that he should be able to prove that his client rode home. The com plainant's statement was much exaggerated. The complainant further stated, that on the Fri day after she had been ill-used the defendant gave her some powders to take, but instead of taking them she carried them home. As they had nor yet been analysed, their properties were not known, The defendant was remanded until Wednesday, the Magistrates refusing to take bail for his appear ance. Sir G. WARRENDER. said that the Master-General had determined to receive his salary the moement he found his salary to be an efficient one. As to the refusal of Lord Durham to receive his salary, the Committee expressed their unanimous opinion that hey were doing an injustice to the office, and they communicated that opinien to him. After a few words from Mr. J. WOOD, Lord ALTHORP said, he believed, but was not sure, that Lord Durham had received his salary from the date of his appointment, and that the Duke of Richmond also intended to receive his. A message from the Lords announced that their Lord ships had agreed to certain Bills, among which were the Osset Soke Bill, and the Bcer Act Amendment Bill. Mr. CRAMPTON said it was on the paper for to ❑ight, but if it did not come on this evening he would bring it on as early as possible. The object of the Bill was not to repeal the enactments regarding clandestine marriages, as the petition seemed to imagine. Mr. SHAW said the petitioner might still be right, for although the present Bill did not repeal clandestine mar riages, there was sometime ago such a Bill before the House. Printed by Ridgway, Piccadilly; and may be had o Butterworth, Fleet street ; Hunter, St. Paul's Church. yard ; Wilson, Royal Exchange; and of the Booksellers al Colchester and Chelmsford. Mr. K. DOIIGLASS, in rising to move for certain returns, in order to spew how dependent the maintenance of the manufactures and commerce of this country are on the supply of tropical productions raised by compulsory labour, entered into a variety of statistical details on which he grounded his motion. He first took the article of cotton, of which, in 1831, there were im ported into this country 263,961,4521b5. weight. The whole amount got by compulsory labour in Slave places was 247,633,251 lbs. The whole of the cotton imported into this country produced under a mitigated state of compulsory labour from the East Indies, Turkey, Greece, &c. was only 16,323,198 lbs., therefore of the whole cotton imported, consisting of 263,961,451 lbs. there were imported only 16,323,198 lbs. from counties where there was a mitigated state of compulsory labour. The whole of the cotton that was now worked in Glasgow was supplied by compulsory labour. The quantity of cotton manufactured goods exported in 1831 was 19,428,6641. which together with some other articles of a similar description, made ti e general exports of cotton ma nufactures amount to 20,000,0001. ; and add that which was manufactured in Ireland, the whole exports amounted to 38,000,000/. With respect to Tobacco, the quantity im ported in 1831 was 21.743,308 lbs. from parts where corn pulsory labour prevailed, whilst in other places it did not extist only about 4,0001b5. had beed produced. With respect to cirffee, the quantity imported from counrties where compulsory labour existed, was 43,070,828161., while that from the countries in which it did not exist there were 31,461,381 lbs and from those in which a mitigated state of compulsory labour existed 11,546,570 lbs. The Hon. Member went into them in respect to arti sf home consumption that the same ratio prevailed, and concluded by moving for a return of the value of cotton, tobacco, coffee, and sugar, exported and imported for the last three years. Lord ALTHORP did not object to the returns, but could not see the object of them.

FOUR SUPERIOR BOOKS, For the Higher Classes of S udents in the FRENCH Mr. JOHN BROWN presented a petition from cer tain land-owners, merchants, and others, in Presford, county of Mayo, against any alteration in the duty on hemp. The Hon. Member declared that a reduction in the duty of hemp would be the total ruin of the coarse linen manufacture of Ireland, for the purpose of benefiting the manufacture in Scotland. When the Bill came before the House he would give his most earnest opposition to it. S r R. BATISON supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. J. BROWN then presented petition from certain merchants and manufactures of the county of Mayo, pray ing that flax inspectors be appointed throughout Ireland. Mr. HUME was surprised that the Irish should know so little of what was conducive to their own interests as to wish their trade to be tramelled in that way. Sir J. NEWPORT observed that the frauds complained of now took place during the time there were inspectors in Ireland. If he thought the appointment of inspectors would be attended with any benefit, no man would be more ready to adopt such a measure than him self, but he was convinced that it was with the manu facturers of Ireland, and them alon -, to work the cure.

PARNELL did not see any necessity for the introduction of any law upon the subject. He deprecated the interference of the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland, considering the cognizance of such measures to be more peculiarly the province of the Board of Trade. Mr. STANLEY had only brought the Bill forward for the purpose of supporting the wish expressed to hint of the general trade. He could assure the Hon. Baronet that he had no wish to interfere in subjects that were not within his province, having quite enough to attend to in his character as Secretary for Ireland.—(A laugh.) The petition was then ordered to be printed. Mr. J. BROWN then presented petitions from parishes in Mayo, Down, and other parts of Ireland, in favour of the Government plan of education.

STATE OF TRADE.—There is some im provement in the wollen trade in Leeds, though there is still a want of that briskness which gives general activity. In our worsted stuff trade, at the Bank, there is a decided improvement. This is a matt , •of great gratification at all times, but it is peculiarly so-.-'aen the progress of dis ease is likely to arrest the increased comforts of our labour ing population.—Leeds Mercury• THE CROPS AND THE WEATHER.—The splendid weather of this week has made the hay-harvest pretty general. 'We understand the hay is this year of the very best quality, as well as unusually abundant, having grown with the greatest rapidity ; the grass is quite fresh, and the hay will be exceedingly sweet and nutritious. 'We learn that the strong and cold wind of Sunday and Monday last has injured the corn in some situations ; though, as it is an ill wind which blows nobody good, the same cause has delivered the woods from a host of caterpillars and insects by which they had been well nigh devoured...— Leeds Mercury. APPREHENSION FOR MURDER TWENTY THREE YEARS AGO.—A man named AMNER has been apprehended at Wix, on a charge of having been an acces• sory in a ease of murder. It appears that about twenty three years ago a new-born infant was found in the Try( r at Manningtree ; and the Coroner's Jury who sat on the inquest returned a verdict of wilful murder against a per son or persons unknow n . The affair lay dormant till a few days ago, when AMNER. toll the landlady of a beer house that the infant was one Which a girl bad by him— that he was not at Manningtree when she destroyed the child, but was informed of it by the girl in a /ettir sent to Om in London. This statement led to AMN Elt'll appre hension, and he has been committed or re-exa m i n ati on , Co/Mester Gazette Mr. O'CONNELL would take that opportunity of stating that he bad been misrepresented on a late occa sion. In the newspapers he was made to say that he would not enforce his call of the House on Thursday. He had not then made up his mind on the subject, but had maturely considered it since, and had come to the deter mination of agreeing to the request that was then made to him, and now abandoned his intention. Sir F. BURDETT said, that the alterations already made in the Irish Bill were most important ones, and gave that Bill quite a different character. There was now only one subject, viz. the registration, upon which Re formers were divided, and if any better plan than the one proposed was pointed out, he had no doubt the Govern ment would follow it. Mr. O'CONNELL would not for a moment deny but that the alterations introduc.•d into the Billawere very im portant—he considered them so, and they went far to remove his objections to it. If the registration chime was assimilated to the English one the Bill would then be much more improved, but still it would not be so good a Bill, or as efficient for Ireland, as the English and Scotch ones were. Under the present system, be had seen 300 freeholders come up to register, and so many were the impediments thrown in their way, that not more than five of the.,l were allowed to register. Mr. BROWNE thought the statement of the Hon. Member for Kerry exaggerated ; he (Mr. B.) had seen cases, where he thought the present system allowed too much facility for registration; still hg thought some modi fication of the clause might be made. Sir E. SUGDEN could not see what objections the lion. Member for Kerry could have to the registration clause. The Barristers had uncontrolled power, and were gentlemen of unimpeachable integrity. Some of them might possibly be too cautious, and would require more proof than others. After a few words from Mr. BLACKNEY, the peti ions were ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HUME also presented petitions from the Political Union of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, against the Privi. leges of Parliament Bill. From three parishes in York for the mitigation of punishment, and from the Birming ham Mech ,nics' Institute, against taxes on knowledge. Lord ALTHORP moved the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr. HERMES begged leave to call the attention of the Noble Lord opposite to a document which h e h e ld i n hi s hand relative to the Belgic treaty. It was indispensably necessary that the House should be put in possession of it. as it was in truth one of the grounds of conclusion to which the contracting parties had come. He was ready to move for it being printed, but hoped the Noble Lord would save him that trouble. He would take that oppor tunity of asking when the Noble Lord was likely to bring forward that erasure which was to be proposed in relation to the Convention now before the House, Lord ALTHORP was understood to say he had no objection to the publication of the article, but as he was anxious to get forward with the Irish Reform Bill, it was not at present convenient to fix any day for entering on the question which the Right Hon. Gentleman had last alluded to. Mr. lIERRIES took that opportunity of asking a question as to the financial affairs of the country. The stveral statements had hen delayed much longer than usual, and it would save some preliminary discussion and much anxiety it a distinct period were assigned when the Noble Lord would make the statement. The Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition praying for the abolition of slavery, and protesting against the proceed ings of the Slavery Committee now sitting, as calculated to lead to no good effect. It was omitted to be stated from whence the petition came. It was signed by 14,600 persons, and was 76 yards in length. Thus it appeared that the whole of the signatures appended to the anti slavery petitions which had been presented since the Ist of May h d been 163,815. The Noble Lord re gretted that by the rules of the. House the proceedings in the Committee were not allowed to be made public. He had always been an advocate for publicity in ad public affairs. Every thing of a public nature lie was quite sure was infinitely the better of being opened to searching public investigations. If the proceedings of this Committee were only made public, be was quite sure that it would produce a very salutary effect. He regretted that he could not continue to attend the proceedings of the Committee in consequence of his Magisterial duties requiring him to be elsewhere. He gave the petition his entire support. Lord GODERICH begged to observe that the aid which was now intended to be given to those who had suffered front the late insurrections in the Island of Jamaica was not to be considered as a gift but only as a loan again to be repaid. Toe country was to be considered as lending its credit to persons who were to repay. Govern ment thought that it was their bounden duty to come forward in the way they had done, to afford that aid to those who hut unhappily suffered so severely. Lord SUFFIELD presented other petitions to the same effect : one from Leicester, signed by 2,200 ; one from Bath, signed by 450, one from Liverpool, signed by 3,335 ; one from Hackney, another from Chelmsford, and others from several other places. The Earl of lIADDINGTON gave notice that he should present a petition to-morrow from the county with which he was connected upon the subject of the uperiorities, and the manner in which they were affected by the Scotch Reform Bill. The Marquess of WESTMEATH presented a petition from Westmeath against tithes. The Marquess of WESTMEATH expressed his sur prise at such a petition coming from people who had taken the law into their own hands. Lord RADNOR presented a petition from Manchester, in favour of the Factories Bill. The Marquess ofLANSDOWNE presented several pe titions, complaining of the provisions of the Boundaries Bill, from Wolverhampton, Walsall, and other places. Earl GREY presented several petitions in favour of the new plan of education adopted in Ireland. The Alarquese of SLIGO presented petitions from se veral places in Tyrone, with a contrary prayer. Lord RODEN presented petitions against the Party Processions (Ireland) Bill, and the Irish Reform Bill, from the Cwnservative Society of Dublin. Lord PLUNKETT objected to the petition being re ceived as the measure to which they referred was before the House.---Petitions withdrawn. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition in favour of the new plan of education in Ireland, from the ministers and elders of Dumferline. Lord PLUNKETT' presented similar petitions from several Presbyteries in the North of Ireland. He hod the satisfaction to state that there had been above 600 applications made to the new Board for the establish ment of schools. Many of these were by Protestant and C itholic clergy in conjunction; and the number of scholar. , about to receive the benefit of the united plae of education was 125,000 . —(Cheers.) In that the opposition to the plan had completely failed. The number of applications made to the Board, and the number of scholars who were to be benefitted by its establishment had been greater during the last six months than had been made to the Kildare-street Society during the first six years of its existence. The Earl of WICKLOW was surprised the dumbt2 was not 6,000 instead of 600. (LEFT SITTING.) TV 0 R SHIP- S TREE T I !Mr. Barnett Cohen, a Dutch Jew, was charged by Mr. James Sharpe, a Yorkshireman, and pro prietor of the Royal Oak, at Reading, under the following circumstanc , s:—lt appeared that the prisoner and two others went to the complainant's house, and engaged beds. On the following morn ing they succeeded, during the abs rice of Mr. Sharpe, in ob►aining from his wife the loan of 11/. upon six beautiful looking shawls, until their return n the even,ng. JThe prisoner was remanded until this day, as other charges are expected to be brought against him. On Friday Thomas Trowers, alias Greenwood Haylett, was charged with having intermarried with Sarah Collins, whilst his wife was still living. There was also another charge against the prisoner, but which appeared to have been abandoned-- namely, that of having deserted from the 80th regi ment, and of having afterwards enlisted into the 6th regiment of foot, from which regiment he also deserted, while they lay at Canterbury, when he came to reside in the neighbourhood of Mile-end Old Town, where he commenced the profitable busi ness of fortune-teller. The first marriage having been proved, Sarah Collins said, that about eighteen months ago she resided at 23, King-street, Tower-hill. One of her neighbours apprised her of the extraordinary powers of a fortune-teller (the prisoner), in King-street, Mile-end, and she had the curiosity to visit him. After he had read a "planetary book" for some time, he told her that her happiest days were yet to come, and that she would be married to a man of a fair complexion; and throwing the book upon the floor, he said the name of the man was written upon a piece of paper folded in the book. She eagerly ' seized the book, and on examining the paper, she found the name of Greenwood Haylett written. She paid him a shilling, and gave him her ad dress. In a few days after he called at her house, and said he was not a boy nor she a girl, and as " short reckonings made l ong friends," he hoped there would be no unnecessary time thrown away in their courtship. He then came to lodge in her house, and on the 2d of March, 1831, they were married in Whitechapel Church. In a few days after he told her that her house was in too public a situation for his business, and that he should take a private one, where there would be a couple of rooms to accommodate his customers. He then sold off her stock in trade, and all her furniture, and took a house behind the London Hospital, where for some time he earned between two and three guineas a week telling fortunes. He often told her he was accused of being a deserter. Mr. BROUGHTON—What induced you to have your fortune told ? Witness—l was unhappy in my mind. Did he teach you how to tell fortunes ?—He did not, but said he could do it in an hour. I suppose his customers were all females ?—They were principally females, although there were many men who came, and who paid more liberally than the females. Eliza Bishop said she was a married woman, and knew the prisoner while he lodged with Sarah Col lins before their marriage. She accompanied them to Whitechapel church on the 2d of March, 1831, and officiated as bride's-maid when they were mar ried, and she was a subscribing witness in the re gistry book. Mr. Chapman produced the registry of the mar riage in St. Mary's, NVhitechapel, between Green wood Haylett and Sarah Collins, on the 2d of March, 1831 • The prisoner was then fully committed. MAR YLED ONE. On Saturday, a man very genteelly dressed was irought before Mr. HOSKINS the sitting Magistrate, m the following charge:— Police-constable Allington (D, 690 stated, that in Blandford-street that Pawning about twelve • CHOLERA.—Within these few clays a sudden reflux of the pestilence has taken place in many to vas where it was believed its virulence had been expended. In Edinburgh, the list of cases and deaths, though still com paratively light, has latterly augmented considetahly, there being for the last seven days 31 attack, and 19 deaths, while the previous week's list showed only 13 cases, and ti deaths. Here, as at other places, a ',umber of persons in the respectable walks of life have fallen victims, although the majority of cases still occur among those whos con stitutions have suffered from previous disease, and the des titute or dissolute classes of society. The duties of t h e Board of Health in Glasgow, although parti •Ils susp••nded. for some time, in consequence of the eessatiiin of ri e ease, have been resumed, and a daily report , s now issued as usual, which at times hulks out fearfully with .he ra vages of the plague. In Paisley, Or enock, and other places in the west, some cases are still dropping out. and it is probable a few weeks may yet elapse btfore the dis ease is wholly extirpated.--Scotsman. BENEFICENCEOF HIS MAJESTY.—After the review in Hyde-park, on Tuesday last, the anitiver-ary of his MAJESTY's accession to the throne, his MAJESTY, with that mercy which " becomes the throned Monateh better than his Crown, granted a free ptribm to all the .oltiterk belonging to the three regiments 01 Foot Guards, or Hite, e _ hold Troops, at present confined tor various peritid., in different prisons, under sentence of C.urts Martial for mili tary offences. On the !ellowing day the prisonets were informed that his MAJESTY had p t' , lit all, and ' that he trusted they would conduct thenasels es better for the future. The astonishment and joy of the men on re ceiving this communication can scareely be conceived._ The soldiers were immediately liberated, and they left tne prisons, the greater part of them exclaiming, " God bless "` the King," and promising that the mercy shown to them would be for ever remembered with erat.tude. About 40 soldiers b-longing to the Guards were liberated from Brixton House of Correction, under sentence of confine. ment for various periods. Several of them had many months to serve in prison; and one soldier had b-en only a few days in prison, who had been sentenced to a twelve month's imprisonment. It is to be toped that those sol diers who have experienced his AIAJESTY'S mercy will show by their future behaviour that it has not been extended to vain. The Gazette du Lyonnais of the 21. t inst. c , ntains the following mo,t extraordinary nary tion :-- " Ye.terday, within the space of one hour, a parricide, with five other acts of ferocious barbarity, were coottnit ted at Pouilly-le-Moneal, near Villefranche.
