In addition to which, if it be borne in mind that the disease invariably attacks those who are most predisposed to engender any malady, it is not unreasonable to infer, that of those to whom it has proved mortal, many would have lied within the same period bad cholera not attacked them. It will hardly be credited that at this moment, in the fist commercial city in the world, a merchant of the first eminence is unable to raise money upon silver bullion. He. in common with many others, had pre pared for large shipments of silver to Hamburg and Am sterdam, but has suspended them on finding that London is declared an infected port. He will ant, nor will any prudent merchant, incur the risk of loss in so portable and valuahle an article of commerce while the vessel which carries it is performing quarantine. The silver, conse quently, remains at home, and wishing, until a better opening presents itself, not to let his capital lie idle, lie has applied to the Bank of England for a I Jan on the deposit of his bullion, which has been refused.— Times. It is believed by many medical men of skill and experience, that in numerous instances the typhus fever, which has been prevalent for some months past in various parts of the country, has been mistaken for the Asiatic cholera. The former malignant disease has been common in close neighbourhoods and other unhealthy si -tuations annually, but having been unnoticed by official medical reports it passed off without exciting any public alarm. If the fact could be ascertained, it would probably appear that there is no extraordinary increase of typhus fever compared with former periods, and that it has often been reported as c laden, because particular stages of both complaints so closely resemble each other, that it unavoid ably leads to mistakes and error among the medical fra ternity. The total number of cases reported last night (Thursday evening) in the suburbs of the metropolis, was 28, and deaths 12 ; and when we consider the extent of the circle where the cases have occurred, they will not ap pear to be more than there have been on ordinary occa sions in unhealthy seasons in the same districts. —Morning Advertiser. MAYEABEER'S so long-announced opera of Robert le Diable, at Drury-lane Theatre, is now fast pro gressing towards completion, and will positively be pro duced on Tuesday next, the 21st instant. To accomplish this intention of the management not less, it is said, than sixty additional tailors and dress-makers are engaged on the wardrobe, with nearly as many extra carpenters for the scenery and machinery. To give full effect to its re presentarion, upwards of 120 persons have been added to the dramatis personce, in dancers, chorus singe's, and Lords and Ladies in attendance, &e. ; besides whit+, :hat the orchestra should not be less efficient than tl e• stage department, an organ, at an estimated expense of ;,001., is now erecting. From these items some idea may he formed of the enormous charge attendant on the t , roduction of this opera, whose success, it is hoped, aid eempensate so liberal;an outlay. MILITARY ORDERS.—Orders have been issued by the Commanding Officers of the three regiments of Foot Guards, in consequence of the appearance of the cholera morbus at the East end of the town and in the Borough, that none of the men belonging to the regiments should pass any of the bridges, and by no means to go on the Surrey side of the water. All the privates who are quartered o❑ the Surrey side, or living in lodgings, have received orders to remove to the Middlesex side. The greatest precautions are taken in the different barracks at Portman-street, Knightsbridge, King's-mews, &c., to prevent the spread of the cholera morbus, should that dreadful malady break out amongst the soldiers. All the troops have had flannel shirts and belts served out to them, the barrack-rooms are all well ventilated, and the greatest attention is paid to cleanliness. Some portion of the troops, it is said, will be ordered out of London. There is one point relative to the cholera, which seems to puzzle the contagionists. The disease is Indian, where it has long been indigenous. We of this country, and especially of this metropolis, are in constant intercourse with India, ships from whence are arriving in numbers almost every week ; yet, though Lasears on board some of these vessels have been known to die of Asiatic cholera between Madeira and England, no instance of the disease having been thus imported has been known to occur. An inquest was held on Wednesday by Mr. WHATILEY,OII the body of a female named OSBORNI, who drowned herself on the Monday night preceding, in the river Rea, between Deritend-bridge and the Floodgates. It appeared in evidence that the deceased, who was a married woman, bad recently left her husband, a shoemaker resi ding at Windsor, in company with a young tuan, with whom she proceeded to Birmingham, and finding that he was about to desert her, she in a fit of despair took that mode of putting a period to her existence. T he Jury re turned st verdict accordingly,-- Wolverhampton Chronicle, The Count —, during his stay in Paris, had a severe fit of the gout, yet he thought it due to his rank and fortune, that he should have in his retinue a nymph of Terpsichore : he con sequently sent a present of diamonds, to the value of twenty thousand francs, to one of the prettiest members of the Corps de Ballet. A golden key will open almost every door, as a diamond wilt overcome every difficulty with the same ease that it will cut glass, and the gouty Count found favour in the lady's sight ; at all events his present of jewels was irresistible, but a taste for diamonds does not extinguish love for other objects, and as the heart of our opera dancer was devoted to another, the Count soon discovered that he had a rival. The Count, being a strict observer of contracts, thought it proper to be jealous, and as the Russian ladies most amicably submit to occasional corporal chastisement, he thought that the best means of securing the attachment of the pretty opera dancer would be to inflict a sentimental punishment upon her :—it is to be remembered that at this time he was confined with a fit of the gout, which prevented him from setting a foot to the ground. He sent an invitation to the fair lady, and gave the most positive orders to his servant not to admit any person after her arrival, adding that, let what would happen, or whatsoever noise be heard, he strictly forbade that any of his domestics should open the door of his chamber. The opera dancer had pictured to herself some new presents, and hastened to attend the Count, who she found stretched on a sofa. On tier approach he drew from under the sofii a whip, with which he was preparing to give his faithless fair one a specimen of Russian gallantry. —Revenge is sometimes sweet, but to indulge in that for which the Count had prepared, it were as well not to have a fit of the gout, and the opera dancer very quickly made the poor Count sensible of this—she wrestled herself from the Count's grasp, and snatching the whip from his hands she bestowed on him, with an un bounded liberality, the complaisance which he had intended for her ;—it was, perhaps, the first time in her life that she had made any return for kindness received, and she indulged herself to her heart's content. The Count cried aloud, but she applied the whip with increased vigour; in vain did he call his servants; they dared not come to his assist ance ; the orders which they had received were positive, and they were fearful of disobeying, besides which the loud laughter of the opera dancer convinced them, that the thrashing she was bestowing on their master was given in no other than a friendly manner. " A pleasant pastime," saiel they, " but our Nobles have a singular taste in these matters, and who knows but that the Count and the opera dancer are acting a scene in some comedy or farce." At length the light-footed nymph opened the door, and commended the Count to the care of his astonished servants. She carried away with her the weapon which she had so effectually used: but too proud to retain any thing that belonged to a lover unworthy of her regard, she the next day returned the Count his whip.—Parrot. EXPERIMENTS on the CHANGE of the WIND. AS INDICATED BY BALLOONS, WITH A VIEW TO THE IMPROVESIENTS OF NAUTICAL SCIENCE. Dr. Forster, of Boreham, has at length com pleted a series of observations and experiments on the nature and changes of the wind, which he thinks may lead to results of considerable im portance to mariners, and become the means of extending nautical science, and of adding to the security of ships at sea. By a long series of experiments made with small air-balloons he has found that the upper currents of air, which cross each other in various directions in more elevated regions of the atmos phere, usually come down, and blow next to the surface of the earth and the waters, in the same order of successio❑ in which they have pre viously blown aloft. He thinks, likewise, that the currents of wind which he has encountered in his numerous journeys over mountains, in the pursuit of meteorological phenomena, have been explained on similar principles to those which blow over the sea ; and that the Alpine gales which cross the mountain's top in the Swiss and Savoyard Alps descend and sweep the vallies within the space of thirty hours. These experiments were begun so long ago as the year 1811 ; and after fifty or more experi ments with small balloons, and nearly double that number with large kites, tied one above another, so as to ascend to great heights, he has deduced the result not only that upper currents descend to the earth, but also that gales of wiml are usually eircumvolvent, like whirlwinds ofgreat extent, and do not, as has been hitherto sup posed, blow in straight lines. Dr. Forster has likewise made the important remark, that during his last aerial voyage in a very large balloon, filled with inflammable air, he moved in a circuitous or gyrating course, the periphery of which diminished, or, in other words, the curvature increased as the balloon ascended, and that in proportion as the spiral approached its vertex, at the elevation of above six thousand feet, the motion was slower. This circumstance is exceedingly curious, being the reverse of the mechanical law, according to which equal areas are described in equal times by re volving bodies, and it tends, therefore, to prove that the causes of wind are not mechanical but electrical. The practical application, however, of these observations is of the most importance ; for if it can be clearly shown that wind changes first above, and that upper currents subsequently de scend, small balloons may be converted into very useful instruments for ascertaining the com ing weather ; and if kept on board ships migh t serve for the p ur p ose o f i n di cat i ng the ap proaching ch anges , w hi c h wou ld b e o f service at times to ves se l s at sea i n var i a bl e wea ther. Balloons, too, might be kept at the sea ports, and launched to ascertain the direction of the ensuing gales before the sailing of ships. This subject seems very spe culative at present, but Dr. Forster is about to repeat his experiment, and perhaps the hint which we have thrown out in this article may encourage similar enterprise in other parts of this country and of Europe, and may in the event lead to 'TIE HAGUE, FEB. 13.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chambor of the States-General to-day, a new project of law on the Excise or Tariff was brought in. The Committee of Petitions made a report in this sitting. Three new gun-boats were launched at the Royal Duck-yard, at Amsterdan, on the 10th inst. A Petersburgh Journal of February I, contains the following article:—" In the night of the 30th January, the Emperor's Aide-de-Camp, General Count Orloff, set out from this city for the Hague, wih a special mission to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands. At a moment when the im portant affairs connected with the affairs of Belgium approach their solution, this mission will tend to convince Europe of the honourable principles and pacific intentions of his Majesty the Emperor, and of his lively and unalterable solicitude for the main tenance of the general peace." FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, JAN. 29.—We learn that General Skrzynecki, of whom nothing has been heard since the fall of Warsaw, is now living, under another name, at Lintz, in Austria, and highly praises the kind and hospitable treatment he ex periences both from individuals and the Government. thvernicki is at Lemberg. Besides a great number of privates, there are 1,100 Polish officers of Gallicia, who are treated with all the regard that is due to their misfortunes. It is possible they may remain in Austria, as the French Legations refuse them passports for France, and they have declined the amnesty of the Emperor of Russia, chiefly because it is required as a condition that every officer shall give a declaration in writing, in which it is said there is an acknowledgement that they are rebels.

I submit a few facts to the attention of those of your readers whose common sense the alarmists have not succeeded in wholly dissipa , ing. First, we are called upon to remark, as a new thing, the dreadful ' cramps and violent convulsions which are exhibited in some cases of existing cholera; indeed, many me dical men, and our Cabinet Ministers, use the terms " spasmodic cholera," and " the new Asiatic cho lera," as synonymous. Now let the reader turn to the article " Medicine," in the Encyclopedia Bri tannia, and under the head of " Cholera," that is common English cholera, he will find the followinj words :—" Sometimes the patients fall into universal conrul.:ions ; and sometimes they are affected with violent spasms in different parts of the body. There is a great thirst, a small unequal pulse, celd sweats, fainting, coldness of the extremities, hiccough ; and death frequently ensues in 24 hours." Next in order we are told to observe " the rice-coloured evacuations;" and here indeed lam astonished. I am a plain man, and pretend to no more science than my neighbours, yet I have learned that the chyle has originally the appearance of a milky fluid, and that the change it afterwards under goes in a healthy subject is occasioned by the colouring matter of the bile; so that every disorder which stops that and other secretions causes the evacuations to retain a resemblance to chyle, or to appear of a rice colour. This symptom is therefore by no means peculiar to cholera, while it is confessedly not even an invariable attendant upon that disease. Referring to the same authority I have a'ready quoted, you will find that one of the symptoms of diarrhoea stercorosa et vulgaris is, that " what is discharged has not the appearance of ex crements, but is much whiter and of a thinner con sistence." The third new system is said to be blueness of the skin. On this point I have first to remark, that the decidedly blue eases are admitted on all hands both at Sunderland and Warsaw, to have been rare; and, secondly, I may refer you to the cases of English cholera related by Mr. Thack rah, of Leeds, in which the same blueness prevailed. One of these cases is the following :—" In Sept. 182.5, a debilitated and ailing female, attended by Mr. Corsellis, was seized at three a. m. with vo miting and purging ; most distressing cramps speedily ensued; the surface became cold, the countenance sunk, and, to use the phrase of the woman who at tended her, " was all blue as violet." Her stools were colourless. Site died about eight in the evening, seventeen hours from the commencement of the urgent symptoms. On laying out the body, the women particularly marked its blue-black mottled appearance. Having now proved that violent spasms, rice-coloured evacuations, and blueness of skin, are all among the symptoms of English cholera, I leave the Board of Health to determine wherein the new disease differs from the old. I repeat the assertion, that there is no just cause for alarm. In 1669,it is true,the ravages of cholera, as described by Sydenham, were as extensive in this country as they have lately been in India. But let it be remembered, that since that period a great improvement has taken streets thetole) r a enue c ibe e fiai ules i t n td% ,houv.yfi t ml hlthrehlipoorh%os,seeaefevebl prevail I s mto2theso o res, f e,aas a‘tst greater eevi d tit p n titi e leoe G rn b p o eleexl carpets, ; valueete: le : 1 % ot ' mn e ftotphr h ihtai a aftte v nhw e ehtiahat neither dide, bin narrowteeahp: e c n e "to fright the isle from its propriety." 11r. Thrackrsh, who deservedly stands very high in the profession, informs us that in August and Septem ber that year, 89 cases of the disease occurred in his own practice. He observes that " sometimes the disorder was neither great nor sudden, but in many cases the disease was most severe. In some, the attack was sudden and urgent : the harvest man was seized in the field with a great sense of debility, the bowels were relaxed, vomiting succeeded, the coun tenance sunk, the extremities became cold, cramps seized the limbs, extended with violence to the trunk; the pulse declined, and he was a corpse the 2d or 3d day." I have but a word more to add it is, that the publication of official and daily reports of any fatal disease is of itself sufficient to create an alarm of pestilence. I trust a public meeting will be immediately called, to petition Parliament to institute an inquiry, and, that done, I have no fear for the result. February 15. We believe that the state of trade both hi Liverpool and throughout the kingdom, has become much better during the last month. The demand for cotton for several weeks has been very good, and a considerable ad vance has taken place in prices. The demand continues to be brisk and steady, and the stocks are getting unusnally low.---Lireepoo/ Tres. Viscount LORTON presented a petition horn the Pro testant clergy and inhabitants of a parish in the county of Westmeath against the new system of education. The Contagious Disease of Ireland Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord CLONCURRY presented a petition from an in dividull, one of the Society of Friends in Ireland, againbt negro slavery. Mr. BERNAL, and others from the Commons, hrou,:lit up the Cholera Prevention Bill, the Exchequer Bills Bill for 1831, the Consolidated Fund Bill, and some private Bills, which were read a first time, on the motiod of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, The Matquis of LANSDOWNE moved the first read. log of the Cholera Prevention Bill, and at the same time gave notice that to-morrow he would move the sus pension of some of the standing orders, in order to faci litate the pausing of this Bill. Lord ELLENBOROUGH was of opinion that this BPI ought to have been brought in long ago, and not have been obliged to be hurried through the House now, when the cholera was at our very doors. The attention of their Lordships had been called to the subject that the Privy Council had not sufficient power in-a case of such importance. The Bill ought to have been brought for ward at an earlier period, when it could have received more of their Lordships' attention. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that there had been a great deal of consideration on what were thr powers of the Privy Council, as these powers had on many occasions been extended beyond their proper limits, but not illegally, for the parties were nut bound to obey. IRISH TITHES. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented the report of the Select Committee to whom bad been referred the consideration of the tithes of Ireland, and the state of the law on that subject there, and moved that it should be read. It was accordingly read by the clerk at the table. The Committee commenced by,, stating that they had proceeded to examine the subject which had been referred to them for their consideration, and that though they were not as yet enabled to bring their inquiries to a close, they felt it their duty to lay before the House their opinion, founded upon that part of the evidence which had been laid before them, and the circumstances and facts which that evidence disclosed. The report went on to state that the Committee felt it their duty to call the attention of their Lordships to the resistance which had been made to the collection of tithes in certain districts of Ireland, namely,—Kilkenny, Callow, Tipperary, and the Queen's County, a resistance that was supported by illegal and armed associations, which, from whatever cause they arose, if allowed to extend into other districts, would altogether undermine the law, and destroy the securiry and peace of society in that country. The report went on to observe that in consequence of such pro ceedings in the districts already named, the clergy there had been reduced to the greatest distress, and that the following ere the estimated amounts of the sums due for tithes to the incumbents in the several dioceses in which those districts were situated. In the diocese of Ossory, the sums due in the compounded parishes amounted to 14,000/. ; in the uncompounded, to 10,4751 ,—total, 24,4751. In the diocese of Leighlin, the amount due in the compounded parishes was 18,0921. ; in the uncom- I pounded parishes was 2,7001.,—t 0 t a 1, 20,792/. I n the I diocese of C&ahel and Emly the st u ns due in the corn- I pounded parishes amounted to 23,409/. ; in the uncom pounded parishes to 4,0971.,—t0tal 27,506/. ; in the dio. I cese of Ferns, the amount due in the compounded parishes I was 7,000/. We did not catch the amount due there in the uncompounded parishes and in another district, but the total amount due in all those districts for tithes was stated by the Committee to be 84,9541. The report proceeded to state, that it appeared to the Committee, that i❑ order to afford relief to the distressed clergy i❑ those districts, his M ijesty should be empowered to advance to the incumbents there for the tithes ctt to...them, sums of money not exceeding the arrears of tithes due to them for the year 1831, and in proportion to the income of each in• cumbent, decreasing as that income increased ; that as se curity for such money thus advanced, the tithes due to those incumbents were to be handed over to Government, to be enforced according to law ; that where the Compo sition Act had taken effect, the amount of money to be advanced should be regulated by the amount of such com position ; that where no composition had taken place, but where there had been an agreement, it should be regulated by such agreement ; and that in all other cases it was to be regulated by the average amount of tithe for the three preceding years. The Committee further stated, that in order to the more effectual levying of the amount of sums thus advanced, it should be lawful for his Majesty's Attor ney-General for Ireland to proceed by civil bill in the Court of Chancery, in the Court of Exchequer, or at the Quarter Sessions, against the parties in those different counties from whom those tithes were so due, and that the said Courts should issue processes for the sums so due, in accordance with the provisions of the Acts of Parliament of Ireland of 1787, 1789, and 1800, with such altera tions only as the present times and circumstances might require. But (continued the report), strongly as the Committee was impressed with the necessity of main taining the authority of the law, and of relieving the wants of the clergy, they were equally impressed with the necessity of effecting some useful alteration in the present system ; and though their inquiry had not arrived a: its termination, they felt it their duty to pronounce a dis tinct opinion, that enough bad already appeared in the course of that inquiry, to satisfy them, that with a view to secure the interests of the Church and the lasting wel fare of the country, a permanent change in that system was necessary ;—such a change as involved a complete extinction of tithes, as well of those belonging to the lay impropriator as of those belonging to the clerical incum bent, and the substitution of an equivalent either on the land, or in land in lieu thereof, thereby preventing colli sions between the parochial clergy and the occupiers of land. Such is the general purport, as well as we were able to collect it, of this report, which was read by the clerk in a very indistinct and hurried manner. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE begged leave to move that the report now read, and the evidence as far as it had gone before the Committee on which that report was founded, should be printed.—Ordered. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid on the table papers from the Board of Health relating to the cholera morbus.— Ordered to be printed.—Adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS, Ppm Air 16. At Four o'clock the SPEAKER took his seat. A new writ was ordered to be issued for a Member to serve in Parliament for the borough of Tregony, in the room of Colonel Charles Arbuthnot, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Sir H. WILLIANISON presented petitions from the inhabitants of Monkw•earmouth and Sunderland against the Sunderland and Shields Railway. Mr. J. GRATTAN presented a petition from parishes in the county of Wicklow and Carlow, praying for the abolition of the tithe system in Ireland. Mr. BLACKNEY supported the prayer of the peti tion, which after a few observations from Sir H. PAK NELL was ordered to be printed. Mr. J. GRATTAN also presented a petition from Gal way, praying an extension of their elective franchise. The Hon. Member also moved for a return of the number of attornies admitted to practice in the Court of Exche quer, having previously been admitted in some or one of the other Courts of Westminster Hall, with the aggregate aceount of fees paid by those individuals, and the authority for taking the same. dif ferent p L a E ri A sh tE i ß, in nthe presenting eounti rsof Ki eig ik h e t p nn e y ti a tine n o dw fr a o t m if ,r f d ord against the tithe system, took this opportunity to state, that the Reverend Dr. Butler, to whose refusal to ac cept the composition offered by his parishioners the great disturbances in that part of the country were at tributable, enjoyed the tithes of no less than fourteen parishes, extending a distance of more than thirty miles. There was only one church in those 14 parishes, and no congregation for any of them, though the income of the Reverend Divine exceeded 3000/. yearly. He (Mr. L.) considered the tithe system, as it at present stood, a dis grace to the country, and trusted the day was nut far dis tant when it would be put an end to. Mr. 81, ACKNEY supported the player of the peti tion at some length, and with great energy. Mr. SHAW would only say, in allusion to the ebargte nine or ten months," and said that as the Rev. Clergyman of that parish had refused to take one-balf of his tithes, he should have none at all. It was for him (Mr. Blackney) to explain to the House in what way such conduct was con. sistent with the charact r and object of a Magistrate of a county. The statement was made upon oath, and Mr. Blackney was described as being followed by a mob, car rying placards, having this inscription, " N. Mats, and no Union !" Mr. BLACKNF:Y, in reply, declared that the state ment of the Honourable Member (Mr. Shaw) had been contradicted by six respectable individrals, besi:ies him self, upon oath. It was a foul stigma which had beers attempted to be cast upon him in the county of Catlow, and in his own parish, where he had only done his duty in attending a public meeting. The Hon. Member was proceeding when he was interrupted by general cries of " question, question," "spoke, spoke," and in consequence he sat down. Mr. WYSE said the Hon. Member opposite (Mr. Shaw) was the last man in that House who should have accused his Honourable Friend (Mr. Blackney) of exc:•.. ing the people—( Hear, hear)—particularly as he hail n t given that Hon. Gentleman any previous notice. The Hon. Member himself hail used exclamations to the people which were more remarkable than any that had Leen used by his Hon. Friend, for he had quoted those sentences of Scripture which alluded to the separation of the tribes of Israel. That House had but little time, he re gretted to say, to discuss Irish subjects. Ireland laboured under a great many grievances which did not exist in this country ; and sure he was that many English Members, so far from deprecating those discussions, were anxious to have every information that could be given them, and if they (the Irish Members) did uecaaionagy trespass on the House in consequence of their grievances, they would willingly be silent if those prievanc, a were removed, but till they were removed they were determined to use every effort in their power.—(Hear.) Mi. SHAW said if the Hon. Member opposite wished to he furnished with the name of the policeman—(" Oh oh !")—who was still in his office, and the name of the Magistrate before whom the deposition was taken, he should have them, but with respect to the statement of the Hon. Member for Tipperary, he gave it the strongest contradiction that Parliamentary 1 inguage would admit of. He denied that he had ever excited the feelings of his countrymen,and with respect to the Scriptural pessages al luded to, he used them in a far different sense from that which the Hon. Member opposite wished to apply to them. After a few further observations from Mr. BLACENEV, Mr. WYSE, and Sir JOHN M. DOYLE, Mr. LEADER moved that the petitions be print-d, and in so doing, t4aid he had selected them from about 40 or 50 of the same class Sir 11. INGLIS addressed a few observations, which were wholly inaudible in the gallery, but his concluding sentence was understood to be opposed to the printing of the petitions. The SPEAKER then put the question that the petitions he printed, when several voices called out " No, no," and in answer to a question from the Right Hon. Gentleman, Sir R. Inglis expres•ed his intention to divide the House. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the gal • lery was cleared for a division. After nearly an hour's diieussion with closed doors, the House divided, when there appeared— For the printing of the petition Against it Majority against the printing 79 SMUGGLING OF LEAF AND CO Mr. G. BANKES asked whether the Government in tended to lay any further information before the House re. specting the case of smuggling of Messrs. Leaf and Co. ? Lord ALT HORP was understood to say the Govern ment had no such intention. Mr. G. BANKES then gave notice that he would on Tuesday next move for further information. He would also on the same day move for a Committee to inquire into the state of the law relating to such cages as that of Leaf and Co., with a view to its amendment. GENERAL FAST. Mr. PERCEVAL inquired whether it was the inten tion of Government, in consequence of the pestilence which threatened the country, to select an earlier day for a General Fast than that already named ? Lord ALTHORP replied that the Government had no such intention. Mr. PERCEVAL then intimated that he would sail at tention to the subject previous to going into Committee of Supply. ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH, DUBLIN. Mr. SHAW moved for certain papers connected with the parish church of St. George's, Dublin.—Ordered. ELECTION OF COUNTY CORONERS. Mr. CRIPPS moved for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the laws regulating the election of coroners in counties. The change which he proposed was simply to procure the division of each county by the magistrates at petty sessions into as many compartments as there might be coroners, and that the voters in each district should elect their own coroner, whose duties were to be confined to such district. After a few words from Mr. LITTLETON and Mr. HustE, the motion was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be brought in accordingly. REFORM.-DIVISION OF COUNTIES. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved for leave to introduce a Bill to settle and describe the divisions of counties, and the limits of cities and boroughs, in England and Wales, in so far as respected the election of Members to serve in Par. liament. It was, he presumead, in the recollection of the House that during the last Session certain Commissioners were named and sent to different parts of the country, with a view to investigate and ascertain the boundaries of certain borough., the constituencies of which it was in tended under the Reform Bill to alter. In the course of this investigation a vast deal of most important and useful information had been collected, which it was the intention of Government should be made use of in the settlement of boundaries under the measure which he proposed to in troduce. The information derived from the Commis sioners had been transmitted to Government in the form of reports, which were received, considered, and con densed by a Committee of three gentlemen, whose sole object, be begged to remark, was to lay before Govern ment such information, founded of course on the reports of the Commissioner., as was most likely to give the en tire country the benefit of the measure which Govern ment bad introduced for effecting Parliamentary Reform. The names of these gentlemen were Mr. Littleton, Cap tain Beaufort, and Lieutenant Drummond. These gen tlemen, in forming their calculations, had received no directions whatever from his Majesty's Ministers, further than that it was the opinion of Government that with re spect to those boroughs which contained less than 300 ten pound houses it would he advisable to take in the parish, and in such case that portions of such parishes might be aided so as to make up the required number of houses. Then with respect to boroughs containing between 300 and under 500 ten-pound houses, the direction given by Government was, that in all cases where the boundaries were not distinctly laid down, or in cases where their slight extension might improve the constituency, they might take portions of the adjacent county as they might deem requisite to effect that object. But in all the cases where the boundaries of the old boroughs were found ample and sufficient, the ancient and well-known bounds should be retained. Such were the sole instructions of the Government, and it would be found that in the labours of the three Commissioners whom he had named these instructions had been invariably kept in view. With regard to the counties, the original object of Government had been to divide them into two, con taining as nearly as possible an equal population and num ber of voters. But this was found objectionable in beve- NI cases ; for in some counties divisions were found already made; and it was considered as likely to produce confusion if fresh bounds were created. It was, there fore, resolved, in all possible cases, to .adopt existiag di visions ; consequently, where a county was found divided into north and south, such division would be c;ii, however, the general understanding that ant that lation in both was altogether or n ea e r , ly ve eq o u n al juries was the number of persons liable sure he then propose& possession of the gulded he full and more satisfactorily and as this principle would to the 11:1101eif, he would riot 'liter .weioped by a reference emqauianll principley di v d e hi T ch he House . r a u: n
