Th e proj ec t o f l aw f or th e or d er o f U n i on, h as b een adopted in the Chamber of Representatives by 37 votes to 35.-- Brussels Papers, July 8. STUTOARD, Joists 30.—We know, from an authentic souree, that the measures which Austria expects from the German Confederation are of the most decisive kind. W ell-informed men, however, doubt whether measures a nswering this description can be carried into effect, as the interests of the several states of the Confederation are too various for them to agree on so decided a plan. At all events, the approaching proceedings of the Diet will, in one way or other, have a great influence on the fate of Germany. ANCONA, JUNE 25.—The tranquillity which we have e njoyed since th e eve nts of the 3d, have been again inter - rupted. Th e pre l ate res idi ng at Osimo declared the seven respectable citizens, who, on the day of the assembly of the people, were deputed to express to the authorities the wishes of the public, to be guilty of felony. Nay more; some secret agents stole into the city, and in the darkness of the night threw stones against the Palace of the absent Cardinal Bishop. The ill-concealed trick was exposed by the arrest of the guilty persons. It now became impossible to impute these disorders to the liberal party, as had been intended. On Saturday the 23d, the persons above mentioned received each separately an official letter with the excommunication, Which was soon known and received with the most indignant feelings. We shall see to what this will lead when people's minds are in such a state of excitement. NUREMBURG, JUNE 30.—The Nuretnburg paper called the Courier of Peace and War (Friedens and Kreig : Kurier) says, and this seems to be applicable to all other Journals published in Bavaria, " In comprehending hence forward the separated kingdoms of Belgium and Holland under the old title of the Netherlands, is to obey an injunc tion from the Board of Censorship."-44//gemeine Zei tnng, July 4. We have received by express the French Papers of Monday ; the French Funds have considerably improved, 3 per Cents. 67f. 90c. ; 5 per Cents. 97f. 85c. It app ears b y accounts from Berl i n, that t h e King of PRUSSIA has abolished the punish ment of flogging in the army. This is a very opportune improvement : (From the Courier Francais of Monday.) Letters from Lisbon of the 23d June announce, that the proclamation of Don Pedro from Terceira before he sailed, had been received at Lisbon, the same we had in the Eng lish Paper s a few days since. At same time we'learn that several copies of the Portuguese Constitution which Don Pedro had modified, and proclaimed in the name of his daughter, has been distributed in the capital. JUNE 26.—8 y an order, dated to-day, cor poral punishment is entirely abolished in the Prussian armies. Accounts from Berlin, of June 27, state that the Prus sian troop s are in march to return to their old canton ments. Orders have been given to prepare a camp to assemble at Teltau. IM PE L PARLIAMENT THIS DAY. HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Speaker, and the Members Present, proceeded to the Upper House, and on their re turn the Right Hon. Gentleman read a list of the Bills to which the Royal Assent had been given, for which see the Lords' report. The House then adjourned until four o'clock. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT.

DEATHS FROM CHOLERA.--Sergeant CAMERON, of the N division, was in attendance on Monday as a witness at the Ohl Bailey Sessions, and on his return home he was seized with cholera, and died in about half an hour after. Mr CROOKS, a re pectable solicitor in the City-road, died the same day of cholera. Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, the chambers of Mr. Baron BOLLAND, in Ser geant's Inn, were broken into and robbed during the ab sence of his Lordship' s clerk. The thieves took away about 151. in cash, leaving'everything else untouched. HUNTINGDON, JULY 7.—(FROM A COR RESPONDENT.)—The friends of Mr. WELLS and Captain bIIBERLY have been very successful in their canvass, a n d appear confident of being able to return both these gentle men. Messrs. POLLOCK and PEEL have both issued their addresses to the electors, in which they avow their in tention of calling upon them as soon as the Boundary Bill is .ettled, ft is to be hoped that the new consituency of Huntingdon and Godmanchester will to a man oppose those men who would have prevented their ever enjoying the elective franchise. We renTet to find that several well-authen ticated cases of cholera, some of the most malignant type, have reached us within the last few days as having oc curred both in the city, particularly in the vicinity of Cheapside, and other parts of the metropolis. The Patients in the greater part of these cases have been per antis of the better classes, in easy and affluent circum stances. The proportion of deaths has been fully as great 8 ' when the epidemic raged a few months since among th e poorer classes. A NONDESCRIPT.--At the corner of a street I encountered an object whose looks could only in a slight d egree claim kindred with our common nature—a very tat terdemalion of a man. His garb, or covering, con sisted only of three pieces—a hat without a crown, from the top of which his coal-black hair and the bowl of a broken pipe protruded ; a seaman's coat was gathered round him, and kept together at the middle by a rope- Y ar n below a pair of short canvass yunmouths—this Was all. For the rest, he was (likely enough) just what n ature had intended him. His beard, some three months' g r owth, " showed like a stubble field," as the Bard of Avon strangely, but quaintly, bath it, «at harvest home." tie did not beg —nor was he sl ee pi ng—nor s i tt i ng — nor q I ,nloking, for hi s p i pe was gone out. Now, what was he r uing, think ye ? He was walking like a crab to one side; eadin g a Penny Mag.—Morning Advertiser. FOUR DEATH S BY UNWHOLESOME FOOD. ....Friday evening an inquiry took place before Mr. B AKER, at the Black B oy public-house, Whitecross.street, uching the decease, under very awful cireumstanz,es, of 4 person who kept a coal-shed in that street, named ALEX ANDER A RCHBA LD, his Wife, and their two children. Their malady had all the character s of the disease termed qelera, and the cases being reported, they were •isited by a number of medical gentlemen, including some of the nfficers of the Board of Health ; but the whole of the pa tients died within twenty-four hours. Mr. SMITH, a sur geon, stated that they were decided cases of cholera, the Origi n of which, however, was clearly traced to the un- Wholesomeness of the food eaten by the deceased. Aactt *lan, upon his death-bed, declared his firm conviction to the persons who attended him, that the illness of himself a nd family was o w i ng solely to the unwholesomeness of he food upon which they had been living, such as fish in a Putrid state, and other bad food, which poverty had in duced them to purchase at a cheap rate. Tile Jury, 4 tidi ng that the deaths had resulted from disease, returned la v erdict accordingly, a n d i n a few minutes a'ter th Yerdictent was pronounced, the b o di es were carried away for It'tgrna. LIT ERATURE. WESTMINSTER REVIEW, No. XXXIII. There is more variety, a greater show of ela borate, well-written essays, in this number, than in almost any we have yet seen of the Westmin ster. Each contributor seems to have put forth his full strength. Nothing is slurred over, no thing dismissed till the subject has been fairly worked out. "On Political Economy," is a notice of Dr. Chalmers' late Dissertation on that dull branch of literature, or science, or what ever else it may be called. The notice is penned in a spirit of much research and animation, and were the subject at all interesting, would be rendered highly so by this writer— " Si Pergama possent Defendi dextra, etiam hAc defensa fuissent." " The Adventures of a Younger Son" is a review, accurate, but rather too much on the eu golistic side, of Mr. Trelawney's recently pub lished autobiographical sketches. The tale is certainly a spirited one, full of incident and variety, and in passages exhibiting some of the rare gems of true eloquence ; still it is on the whole repulsive, and our sympathies are sus pended during its perusal. " Jacotot's System of Education" is a clever attack on the principles and persuasions of the most recent quack schoolmaster that has sprung up in the prolific French capital. His system is pronounced to be an arrant humbug, and he himself to be singu larly " remarkable in his ignorance of the human mind." The next article of note is one entitled " Vane and Bunyan," which is remarkable for the apt and eloquent manner in which it is introduced. Ample justice is done to the shade of Sir Harry Vane, who is defended, as with a stout quarter-staff, against the calumnies of his murderer Clarendon and the sneering inuendoes of Hume. The Reviewer subjoins a specimen of a prayer composed by Vane on the night pre vious to his execution, which is really as beau tiful a composition of the kind, thoughtful, earnest, dignified, full of pathos and sublimity, as any prayer we ever read. " Lord Dover's Life of Frederick the Second" is a delightful historical sketch. The character of Frederick's shrewd but tyrannical father is well portrayed. by the Reviewer, nor is less exact justice awarded to the military and statesmanlike ac complishments of the son. The cursory details of Frederick's legal code, and the way in which it worked are worthy of extract; but space and time forbid, so we must hurry on. " Washing ton Irving's Alhambra" is an agreeable and favourable notice of a very agreeable work, over which its accomplished author has profusely strewed all the enchantments of style and fancy. " Catiline's Conspiracy" is notable for the ad mirable portrait of Cicero, who is drawn with the hand of a master. The article is penned in a most Gracchus-like spirit, with an evident im patience of the aristocratic predilections of the equestrian Order of Rome. We extract the sketch of the illustrious Roman orator. " Cicero was the first of the second order of great minds. An extraordinary variety of talent, rather than any preeminence of original genius, is his characteristic. It is attested by a wonderful extent and diversity of infor mation, acquired amidst the daily occupations of a very laborious life, and almost enabling him to accomplish the great object of his ambition, which was in his single per son to maintain the cause of Roman against the whole of Grecian literature. His written contributions to the infor mation and delight of mankind, are almost as extensive as Aristotle's. Every page is the efflorescence of a capacious mind which embraced the whole circle of arts and sciences, which surveyed life with the comprehension of a philo sopher, and the shrewdness of a man of the world. But Cicero's mind was not of primitive formation. He was the inventor of no great style, he was the bold and original investigator of no one department, nor is there any one in which supremacy could be claimed for him. He resem bled the athlete in Longinus, who was inferior to his coin petitors respectively in their peculiar provinces, but was on the whole, and with regard to the universality of his ac cotnplishments, superior to any. In severity of thought and abstract reasoning he must yield to Aristotle ; he has scarcely approached the sailing flight of Plato's splendid speculations—indeed, in a remarkable passage of the De Uratore he declares them to be beyond his sphere ; in oratory, in resistless oratory, Demosthenes vindicates his decided preeminence above him and the whole world; in those qualities that form a great statesman, in solid judg ment, in immovable purpose, in enlargement of views and rapidity of decision, lie is not to be compared to Demos thenes or Pericles among the Greeks, with Csar among the Romans, with Chatham, Burke, or Napoleon among the moderns. As a politician his defects are most strik ing, for his turn lay best for speculation ; and nothing so clearly and decisively detects lurking lbws in a man's judgment as the conduct of public affairs during ' the joints and flexures' of troubled times, when the operation of new principles is convulsing society, or the decay of old ones is resolving all into their original elements. For such a charge he possessed neither the requisite moral or physical courage, the solidity of principle and purpose, nor the promptitude of judgment which is necessary toiEntsedexiaetcetli tion. Sprung fro m th e ran k s o f the people, immediate l y connected with the eques t r i an or d er, undisputed chief o eloquence in a state where it always exerted great autho rity, a noble theatre was open to him, had he possessed the qualities to tread it with dignity and effect ; the fate of Rome was in his hands, if in the hands of any man. Had he taken counsel from justice or prudence, and conciliated the mass of the population to the government by removing the causes of that discontent which existed like a chronic earthquarke under the foundations of the city, authority would have been established on a broad, low, sure foun dation, which would have defied alike violence and in trigue, or rather rendered their employment perfectly hope less. Ilad he placed the authority of the senate on the ' strong base and building' of the people's love, all would have revolved round it in sweetness and harmony, and the very forces which, wanting the attraction of that great centre, hurried the respective bodies into empty space, would have merely impressed on them the energy and di rection necessary for a magnificent system. He bad seen the Gracehi, Marius, Cinna, even Glaucia and Saturninus, raised to importance by the popular wrongs. He bad seen that each of them was gifted with the most exciting eloquence by the oppression of the aristocracy, that he was adopted by the people at first through hopes of re dress, and then, as increasing want, persecutions, and massacres exasperated them, through the single hope of immense vengeance ; yet neither history' nor his own ex perience could teach him. These successive phenomena lie treated as so many superficial eruptions ; he entered into a war of sympto:ns, instead of exploring the vast bed of disease that ran through the constitution; and stimulated nature to such efforts in order to get rid of it." " Galt's Radical" is a far too soft and flat tering review of the most intolerably stupid book that has appeared this year. " Galt's Radical" is equal to " Galt's Tragedies," which last would seem to have been written with a pen dipped in laudanum, " Present State of France" is an impartial estimate of the several leading parties that have sprung up in Paris since the revolution of 1830. " Prospects of Reform" are cleverly and pung en tly wr itten, and put i l .l. ortoi . some service able, practical hints to Reformers of all shades and classes. We conclude as we began, with the remark that the present number is a capital one . I ---- The Duke of BORDEAUX and several other distinguished individuals belonging to the French Court of Holyrood visited this city on Monday afternoon, with a splendid equipage and numerous attendants. We under s,and the party are on a tour to the Highlands.—Perth shire Courier. VICE CHANCERY COURT.--:(THIS DAY His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with the part-heard case of " Oal,e and Walker," which was of no importance to the public. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY. In the ca , e " Lomax v. Jadis," which we reported yesterday, Mr. Shee, the plaintiff's Counsel, applied to his Lordship for judgment during the vacation. His Lordship said " in a month ;" but on being told by Mr. Shee (Counsel for defendant) that proceedings were now pending in Chancery, and that before next term the de fendant would have good grounds' for an application for a new trial, on the ground of a conspiracy between the plaintiff and other parties connected with these bill transactions, his Lordship refused to interfere, so that judgment was not granted. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) MEYERS V. CHANNON. The plaintiff and the defendant in this case were the wives of a person named Meyers, who being entitled to a sum of money in the Funds, in 1802 committed a felony, for which he was sentenced to be transported for seven years. The fund, by law, became the property of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London, in consequence of the conviction ; they assigned their interest over to the Sheriffs, who gave up all claim in favonr of Meyers, by deed, in the year 1814, to which the Sheriffs of London were paties ; Meyers gave this fund to trustees, for the benefi tof the defendant, his second wife, and her children. The plaintiff (the first wife) by whom he had only one child, and with whom Myers had long ceased to live, insisted that she was entitled to the fund, that Meyers had been deceived into his second marriage by the falsehood of his brother-in-law, who had told him the plaintiff was long since dead. The principal point in the case was the competency of Myers to execute the deed in question. His HONOUR thought enough was now before the Court to enable it to decide that point, and ordered the case to stand over for a few days. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.-(THIS DAY. MISS BAGSTER'S CASE. This morning, on the sitting of the Court, a discus sion took place respecting the necessity of calling further evidence. Mr. POLLOCK said, the case might be taken as one which was undefended, and as he and his Learned Friend (Mr. Law) had both addressed the Court, there was no necessity of calling any further evidence. The JURY expressed their intention to be guided by the opinion of the Court, and that was given in favour of hearing other witnesses. Dr. Morrison, President of the College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, was examined at very great length. He had visited Miss Blgster four times, and took copious notes of the several conversations with her, which he read to the Court, and the answers of Miss B. seemed rational. She spoke of novels in a way that shewed she understood them, and pointed out those characters which most delighted her ; she gave her opinion of Sir Walter Scott's productions, and expressed great concern at the illness of that celebrated author. In speaking of arithmetic, witness said he had daughters who were as ignorant of it as herself—and on a aubsequent visit she asked how his daughters were. He put down a sovereign, a shilling, and a sixpence, and she told their relative value, hut she said she did not know how many pence there were in each piece. She said she did not wish to leave Mr. Newton; that she liked him; and that it was previously arranged between them to elope ; that they were to have gone off on the Thursday, but it was wet, and the following day was Good Friday ; that on the Saturday Miss Clayton kept so close to her that she was afraid she should not be able to get away, but at last she managed it very cunningly, by say ing to her, " It looks very odd for us two girls to be walking alone, " I will go and take hold of a gentle man's (or Mr. Newton's) arm." That she then got away. After reading the whole of his notes, the witness said, that from what he could judge she was not of un sound mind, but that her ignorance of many things arose rather from a defect in her education, than from a want of capacity. The COURT then rose for a short time. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, JULY 10.—Wind W.S.W.—Sailel the Briton, for Singapore.

The long looked-for Lisbon mail has at length arrived, it sailed on the 3d of July, but we do not hear that it brings any news of importance. Don Pedro's expedition only sailed the 26th June, therefore it could not have reached the shores of Portugal at the above date. In consequence of an accident to the engine of the Echo, the mail Ivan put on board his Majesty's ship Leveret, which sailed on the 30th ult. but has not yet arrived, the Echo has only brought a few letters and the Lisbon papers, which are void of interest. Montreal Papers to the 13th of June, Quebec to the 9th, and Halifax to the 12th, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but their con tents are of little interest, as private letters are in town from Quebec to the 14th of June, which state that upwards of two hundred persons had died of the chorera up to the above period. The Halifax Papers give an account of the cod fishery from the United States Journal for the year 1831, from which it appears that licenses were granted to 188 vessels, and the gross proceeds from the fishery are estimated at 319,060 dollars, averaging about 120 dollars a share. THE ruNDs. It could not be expected, that the Lisbon mail of the 3d July, which arrived this morning, could bring any infor mation of the result of Don Pedro's expedition, as by the best calculation it is not expected it will reach the coast of Portugal until about the Sth of July.

Consols have improved since the early part of the morn• ing, owing to the French Rentes coming I to 1 per cent. higher.

(THIS MORNING.) Pursuant to his sentence, Thomas Reilly, the me n who was condemned on Monday last for the wilful mol der of his wife, Catherine Reilly, was executed this morn. ing in front of Newgate. Reilly, who was a Roman Catholic, was attended by Mr. Rolfe, of the Roman Catholic Chapel, Aloorfields, and by Mr. Baker. Mr. Sheriff Perie remained with the criminal up to ten o'clock last night, when he left him apparently very com posed and penitent. In allusion to the crime of which he had been convicted, he said, " I was drunk and sleepy. and cannot tell what took place." Beyond this nothing further could be elicited. Mr. Sheriff Perie again visite the miserable man between five and six o'c!ock this morn ing, when he found him deeply engaged in his devotion• and praying aloud. The Sheriff put several questions ti him, when he replied, " I am perfectly happy and trust in the Almighty for forgiveness." Precisely at eight o'clock the culprit was removed from the cell, and surrendered himself calmly into the hands of the officer, who, having pinioned his wrists and elbows, led him through the narrow passages of the prison to the scaffold. Mr. Baker assisted him up, as his frame began to totter, but he immediately recovered his fortitude, and took his station on the platform with surprising firmness When the cap was drawn over his eyes, the unhappy man again prayed aloud, and continued to do so till the drop fell. For some seconds he was observed to struggle, and it was apparent to all that life was not extinct ; however, by the aid of the executioner, who clung to his legs, his misery was of short duration. During yesterday the culprit wrote a letter, which he addressed to the lady of Mr. Sheriff Perie, wherein he declared that he was totally unconscious of what he did on the night in question, and admitting that, owing to the irritability of his temper, which was increased by the liquor he had taken, and his feelings being worked upon by the tauntings of his wife, he might have committed the dreadful act, but be declared, as he hoped to be for given by the Almighty, that he was not aware of what he was doing. At nine o'clock the body was cut down, and removed in a cart to be dissected pursuant to his sentence. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. David Potter, Ann Potter, his wife, and Ann Hill, were indicted for stealing a quantity of household furniture, the property of Mr. William Evans, at Enfield Wash way. Mr. W. Evans had a house at Enfield Washwav, but left it in December last, together with all the furniture. He fastened the windows and locked all the doors. On the 14th of May he returned to the house, and found it had been completely stripped of the furniture, the door was on the latch, and upon search he ascertained that the house had been en tered at the back part. He gave information of the robbery at Worship street Office, and on the 19th of May he went to the house of the prisoner Potter, at Waltham Abbey, which he found fur nished with his stolen property—part of it was concealed in one of the straw paliasses. Further evidence was adduced, after which the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of larceny against Potter. Mrs. Sophia Ho)Wer, who carries on the business of a dressmaker in Hanover-street, Hanover-square, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging her with purloining eighteen yards of riband from the shop of Messrs. Hodges and Lowman, linen-drapers, Regent -street. The Court deferred passing judgment for the present. SIIEEP-STEALING.—Bernard 11PAramee, aged 33, drover, remanded from last session, whose trial was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, was found Guilty. THE FORGED LOTTERY-TICKET.—Robert Bloicc, a carpenter, aged 43, was indicted for having uttered a forged share of a lottery-ticket, with intent to defraud John Rowland Durant, a partner in the firm of Hazard and Co., the late lottery contractors. The particulars of this case have already been published in this paper, as appeared in proceedings at the Police-office. After hearing several witnesses, the Foreman of the Jury rose and said, that the Jury had made up their minds to acquit the prisoner. A verdict of acquittal was hailed by a burst of applause, accompanied by loud clapping of hands from all parts of the Court, which was very much crowded. NEW COUR T. ROBBERY AT THE FIRE AT SMITHERS'S HOUSE. Anthony Clarke was indicted for stealing a gold watch and a variety of other valuable articles, the property of Miss Catherine Twamley, sister to the late Miss Twamley, for whose murder Smithery was hanged on Monday last. The prosecutrix, who appeared much affected by the recent calamity, deposed to having lodged in the house of Smithers, and having lost the property now produced at the time of the fire, a portion of which she identified as her own, and the remainder belonged to her sister during her lifetime, but became hers by her recent death. Mr. Smart, a gold-refiner in Prince's-street, Soho, proved the prisoner bringing a gold watch, gold chain, and silver guard chain, to his shop, and offering them for sale. Witness refused to purchase them, and, having heard of the fire in Oxford-street, he suspected that they had been stolen therefrom, and he therefore detained the prisoner, and gave him into custody. The prisoner acknowledged that he found the property in the ruins, but denied that he intended to appropriate them to his own use. The Jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for ,even years. The grand entertainment at Guildhall, to his MAJEaTY's Ministers, in celebtation of the passing of the Reform Bill, takes place on to day. The Committee have recommended that no illuminations be exhibited on the occasion. In answer to a correspondent, we may state that the inhabited house duty is usually, though not ne cessarily, calculated on two-thirds only of the rent ac tually paid. THE CHOLERA AT SOUTH SHIELDS.- We regret to state, that this disease, which singularly passed over South Shields, while it committed ravages at Sunderland, Newcastle, and North Shields, has at length made its appearance in that town. There have been three cases ; they are in a filthy situation, and Lave all terminated fatally.— Tyne Mercury. Mr. CARTWRIGIIT, of Aynho, comes for ward again for Northamptonshire, on " the conservative interest." Lord ALTHoRr's recent visit to his noble father's seat was connected, it is thought, with his inten tion of coming forward as a candidate for the Southern division of the county. Mr. CARTWRIGHT, in his ad dress, has the following passage :—" Having been for thirty-four years the Representative of the undivided county of Northampton, it cannot be necessary to make new professions." SIR WALTER SCOTT.--On Saturday even ing Sir WALTER SCOTT, accompanied by his two daughters, and Mr. LOCKHART, embarked on board the James Watt steam-packet for Leith. The party arrived at Blackwall in two travelling carriages, in one of which lay Sir WALTER SCOTT in a recumbent posture, with Mr. LOCK.. HART seated by his side. The vessel was lying at the jetty, and the carriage was hoisted on board by means of a large crane, and when on deck was gently wheeled to the door of the cabin appropriated to the use of the Illustrious Baronet. The most entire stillness prevailed throughout the interval —even the accustomed yee hoo, which was at one moment given, was scarcely made audible to the by standers.

Mona was third, and the others beaten a long way. The winner, who is in the Derby, was ridden by Thomas Robinson, and Jason, by James Robinson. The stake was worth 1,200 sous. exclusive of the winner'.- stake. THE TEN SOVEREIGNS SwEErsTAKES.--After one fah( start the horses came away at their best pace.

EARL DERBY.—This venerable Nobleman has this week given a practical contradiction to the gloomy reports lately in circulation respecting his health. His Lordship, with his family, have been constant attendants at the races, and he looks almost as well and hearty as we have seen him the last ten years.—Liverpool Mercury. A CONT RA ST.—Some wag has been amusing himself by publishing together in one print a side-view of the " Louvre, or the National Gallery of France," and a ludicrously faithful portrait of a dirty shabby-looking dwelling-house which is known as " No. 100, Pa or the National Gallery of England." Between the two he has the following lines : " Look here upon this picture, and on this, The counterfeit presentment of two brothers." And he has dedicated his performance to the First Lord of the Treasury. He had better have dedicated his print to the Members of the House of Commons, for they alone can authorise the erection of a building that will remove the national reproach, which it is the object of his ingeni ous device to laugh and shame the country out of. The Guildhall report contains a strange ac count of a number of persons having been discharged from prison because the cholera is said to exist in that prison. If this disease be a contagious one, it is a very spurious sort of humanity, which sends forth perhaps a dozen infected persons to spread disease through a populous district. We have heard from good authority that this extraordinary disease is raging with considerable mischief in the neigh bourhood of Bridge-street, Blackfriars. Where is the Central or the City Board, and what is it doing? Where are the Commissioners of Sewers? Are the banks of the Thames properly watched, so as to prevent the corruption of air by the accumulation of nuisances ? We shall return to this subject.— Times. THEATRICAL DOINGS IN THE COUNTRY.- Last week the Theatre at Hythe, in Kent, opened for the season under the management of Mr. ROBEERDS, previous to which he waited on the Mayor of Hythe to request his permission for the company to perform ; but that func tionary, being of a very religious turn of mind, and an avowed enemy to stage plays, peremptorily refused hie sanction. The Manager pointed out the great loss both him and his company would sustain, he having taken the house for the season, and stating that he bad engaged some of the first theatrical talent from the metropolis to perform, including LISTON, Miss PHILLIPS, from Drury lane, Messrs. Panto and ELLAR, the pan tomilnists, and several other London stars. The Mayer, however, was inexorable, and refused to sanction such abominations as stage plays. Mr. ROBBERDS, finding it in vain to get the Mayor's permission, determined to open the house as a Subscription Theatre, and, instead of taking money at the , doors in the customary way, the inhabitants and visitors at Hythe purchased their tickets at an adjoining house ap pointed for the purpose. On the first night of the open ing of the Subscription Theatre, Miss PHILLIPS, from Drury-lane, made her appearance, and a highly respectable audience were delighted with her performance. On the following day Mr. ROBSERDS was served with a summons to answer an information laid against him before the Mayor for performing without a license. A man who had purchased a ticket and witnessed the performance proved the case. The Manager contended that it was a Subscription Theatre, and that no money was taken at the doors. The plea of not having taken money at the doors was overruled, and it was deemed quite sufficient that a ticket had been purchased; and the Manager was fined in the penalty of 50/. The Manager remarked that he thought the proceedings very arbritary. The Mayor in dignantly asked him how he dared to dictate to him what was his duty. A week was then given to the Manager to pay the penalty. The Manager in this dilemma con sulted with his company, and they determined to keep the house open. At the next performance the house was w e ll attended, but just as the curtain was about to rise the contables entered the Theatre with a distress warrant for the 50/. penalty, and carried off all the scenery, dresses, al(' decorations, and deposited them in the Town-hall. DUBLIN, JULY 9. " In my opinion, the advantage lies on the side of the former scheme (the religion of the people) ; and thiq opinion, if it be assented to, makes it the duty of the Ma gistrate in the choice of the religion which he establishes, co consult the faith of the nation rather than his owN."— PA LET. Having just read the first night's debate on Mr. Stanley's Tithe Bills, and not having seen the letter of Doctor Doyle on the subject of tithes in your journal, I send you a copy, in order that your readers on the other side may be enabled to form a correct idea of the probable effects of the Right Hon. Gentleman's present legislation. The sentiments contained in that letter, and in former publications from the same pen, are at this moment as deeply wrought into the minds of the majority of tithe-payers as in the heart of the Right Rev. author himself. In fact, it is incredible how well-informed every class and persuasion of Irishmen are in a knowledge of the principles and grounds upon which civil and religious communities ought to be founded and supported ; the result of which is, that the great body of the people are convinced of the in justice and impracticability of imposing on them a tax for the support of a religion which was never national, and has long since ceased to be recognised as exclusively privileged. If, then, torrents of blood have been shed for a century past in the exaction of tribute which was deemed legal and capable of being enforced, under laws to which the community ought to yield, how much opposition and bloodshed may not be ex pected in future, should Government continue to enforce a payment which has now become at once obsolete and obnoxious? A few years ago, Mr. Stanley's Bills would have been welcomed here as the harbingers of peace and tranquillity ; but the time is past when the people can be satisfied with such measures. In saying " the people," I do not mean the Catholic cotters, farmers, and franchised freeholders of the country, I include the majority of the Protestant resident landlords and landholders, on whom Doctor Doyle's writing and the progress of events have had such an effect that they are manifesting daily proofs of their conviction that no tax bearing the least affinity to tithes can be henceforward collected. The daily accounts in the newspapers of numerous meetings against tithes, convened and encouraged by Protestant gentlemen of rank and influence, afford ample proofs of what I am stating. Mr. Stanley's Bills are, no doubt, temperate, equitable, and conciliating ; but the remedies they propose are too slow in their operation. The distemper caused by the want of timely application can now only be cured by cauto y, and eradicating from the system the pre disposing germs of unsoundness. Such are the opinions prevalent in this country, and which we conceive it to be the duty of the English Press to lay before the Legislature and people of Eng land, before the statute-book is encumbered with acts of Parliament calculated to uphold agita tion and misery in Ireland. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL p Several cases of cholera (three of which termina ted in death) having occurred at the Bridewell, the Magistrates yesterday adopted the novel expedient of opening the gates and setting every prisoner free. The inmates consisted chiefly of vagrants, a few pickpockets, and parties for committing wilful da mage. No persons arc sent here by way of punish ment after trial st the Sessions, nor to await their 'vial, so that no great evil will result from the mea sure, unless indeed the persons discharged should carry the germs of disease with them into the low lodging-houses in various parts of the town. Several disorderly persons and some vagrants were brough before Sir PETER LAURIE yesterday, but he discharged them all, with an admonition that he dismissed them because the disease was raging in the Bridewell ; if, however, after this warning, they committed offences which would subject them to be sent to the treadmill, although by being so sent their lives would be put in jeopardy, they must not expect to misbehave themselves with impunity. They were well pleased with their discharge. A respectably-dressed, middle-aged female, named Eliza Arnold, alias Jones, alias Foster, was charged with defrauding various tradesmen. It appears that she has been in the habit of dressing up her son, about twelve years of age, in livery, who, with an accomplice attired as a lady's maid, give her rather an imposing appearance. She then hires a horse and chaise from a livery-stable keeper, and easily procures admittance to fashionable lodgings—her residence in which enables her to obtain goods from various tradesmen. Some time back, she obtained a hat for her son from a hatter at Islington, who al lowed her to take it away without payment, on her saying she would call again, and order something of , ome value. The hatter lately met the son with the identical hat on his head, and he immediately seized him, and threatened to detain him if he did not give up the residence of his mistress. The boy was thus obliged to give a clew to his mother, who had taken refuge in an attic in Pentonville. There were several tradesmen present to prefer charges. A green-grocer had allowed her to have nineteen shillings' worth of vegetables in five days. A milliner said the clothes on Mrs. Arnold's back belonged to her ; and a livery-stable-keeper stated, that his horse and chaise, after being kept from him three months, had been sent back almost valueless. The prisoner met every charge with looks of de fiance, and the Magistrates were obliged to dis charge her, as all the cases against hei were mere debts. MARLBOROUGH STREET. Miss Thomassin, the niece of Miss Twamley, the surviving relative of the unfortunate ladies of that name who were burnt to death at the late cala mitous fire in Oxford -street, yesterday morning applied at the police station of the C division, in order to have the assistance of the police. She stated to Joshua Clements, the Inspector, on duty, hat the extreme the pe n s a o l n ty - i n o - f l a t ‘ of S the ela ‘v mori on Monday who (a y ustfered morning, was, together with others, clearing out the remains of the a vaneafurnituraet the left in door tb readye ruins to n in e Oxford-street, fo ridt away. - st re ay et and Clements refused to apprehend him, although re quested so to do, but immediately sent a constable to see that none of the articles were removed. Miss Thomassin was then favoured with an interview with Mr. Conant at his private residence, and, on his taking his seat on the bench yesterday, he in quired of Clements whether an officer was still at the premises. Clements replied in the affirmative. Mr. CoNaNT observed that Mrs. Smithers could not possibly have any claim to the property remaia ing, as all the effects of a convicted felon became the property of the Sheriffs, added to which the fire offices might have some claim. Clements retired, and on his return in about an hour, observed that he had sent Daly and his wife away from the premises. The son-in-law was now in attendance, and had the written authority of the Sheriff for removing the goods. The paper was produced, and it having been ex plained that commiseration for Mrs. Smithers's situation had induced the Sheriff to give up the property, the worthy Magistrate expressed his satis faction at the conduct of Clements, and the parties retired. ---------- - - BATH. —A curious contest has commenced .tt Bath.
