Member for Surrey must pace*, that from what had already taken place, the inconvenience which resulted from introducing questions like the present for discussion in that Howe , —(Hear.) Indeed, upon such questions, Members of that House were scarcely free agents ; because, if they opposed inconsiderate and ill-judged propositions, imputa tions w ou ld b e t h rown upon t h em I t was o f no great importance whether the words should be inserted or not, but he objected to the introduction of them upon the gineral principle, and if no other Member would take the sense of the C,mmittee upon the motion, he would. Mr. SHAW considered the words peculi irly applicable, and hoped that the Hon. Mrmi , er would press the motion. He thought it inconsistent in the Hon. Member for Middle sex to refer to the appointment of a fast-day as a reason for not agreeing to the motion, because the Hon. Member and his friends did all they could to prevent a day of fast from being appointed. 'Mr. HUNIE said, that he was as much opposed as ever to the appointment of a fast4iy. He regretted that Minis ters had been weak enongb to agree to the proposition.— (Hear, bear.) It would augment the evil which it was intended to mitigate. Lord ALTI{ORP again expressed a hope that the Hon. Alember would not press his motion. TO have a division upon such a question, whether it should be carried or not, was a thing to be avoided. He felt it. necessary to add, that the appointment of a day of fast waa not a en , sequenee of the motion which had been madean that subject. The Sass-•day would have been appointed' if that motion had never been brought forward. Mr. BRISCOE said, he had not the sligh•est idea that there would have been a difference of opinion as to the propriety of his motion. It was allowed, on all hands, that the cholera was a disease which baffled human skill, and therefore it most be considered an infliction of Provi dence. Under all the circumstances of the case he would withdraw the motion. The House then resumed, the report was received, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day, and then engrossed. REFORM BILL. On the motion of Lord ALTUORP, the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Reform Rill, Mr. 13ERNAL in the Chair. Lord ALTHORP stated that if, as he expected, the Committee should get through 311 the clauses of the Bill (with the exception of the schedules), he would nut ask the House to sit on Saturday. —(Hear.) The CHAMBIAN then read clause 62. The clause was agreed to. Clauses 63 and 64 were agreed to, without discussion, On clause 65 being read, Mr. WASON moved that one day only should be allowed for the election, where the electors did not exceed 1,200. Lord ALTHORP said that the amendment was not admissible, although it was contrary to the principle of the Bill. Mr. WASON having persisted in pressing his amend. meat, the Committee divided, when the numbers were— For Ministers 91 For the Amendment 1 Majority On our re-admission into the gallery we found the Corn. mittee discussing that part of the 66th clause which enacts that each person shall vote at the booth appointed for his parish or district. An HON. MEMBER (name unknown) asked the Chan cellor of the Exchequer this question :—Suppo.ing that a borough were divided into two districts, and that an electcr had a qualification by freehold in both, in which of the districts would he he entitled to vote ? Lord ALTHORP replied, that he would only be en titled to vote in that district in which he resided. Mr. EWART suggested that the application of this mode of voting to the borough of Liverpool would lie very inconvenient. There the practice was to bring up the voters alphabetically, and that practice had been found very convenient in avoiding disorder and confusion. He should be lorry to see the practice altered in th it town. Mr. J. CAMPBELL said that a similar practice was sdopted in the borough which he had the honour to repre sent, and was found very convenient. He therefore urged that the practice should be allowed to continue in those boroughs where it already existed. Some conversation took place upon this suggestion, which was very indistinctly heard in the gallery. It was terminated by Lord ALTHOSP declaring that be would give this suggestion his hest coasidfration before he brought up the report on the Bill. Some verbal amend ments were then made in the clause, which, after some further immaterial discussion, was ordered to stand part of the Bill. The 67th clause, giving to the Justices in sessions power to appoint polling districts for Shoreham, Click lade, Aylesbury, and East Retford, w s next agreed to. On the 66th clause being put from the chair, which fixes the time when the returning officer is to close the poll, and give him power to adjourn it in case of riot, Sir C. WETHERELL objected to the limitation of the duration of the poll to two days. The greater part of the first day was generally occupie,'. '.)y the lecture which the candidates gave the electors, or the electors gave the cantlidates; -- on - their political duties. This was a very useful practice, and yet this clause would either put ex tinction upon it, or would limit the duration of the poll to only one day. Now, when the greater part of the first day was thus occupied, he would give the returning officer the power of adjourning the poll to another day. He would therefore propose, that after the words " where the proceedings at any election should be interrupted or oh. structed by any riot or open violence," the following words should be added—" or delayed by other causes deemed sufficient by the returning officer." He knew that this was leaving a very wide discretion to the return ing officer ; but he thought it Kett-r that the returning officer should enjoy this discretionary power than that so valuable and ancient a practicr as that to which he had referred should he extinguished under our new Constitution. A long desultory conversation, relative to this amend merit in the clause, then ensued, in which Lord Althorp, Sir E. Sugden, Mr. W. Bankes, Mr. Hunt, and Sir C. Wetherell took part. The clause wis then, on the suggestion of Mr. G. 13A NICKS, postponed. The 69th cause, which provided that candidates, or persons proposing a candidate without his consent, should be at the expense of booths and poll-clerks, was then read. Mr. HUNT, Mr. HUME, and Sir C. WETHERELL op posed the clause, on account of the expense to which it would subj-ct candidates. Colonel SIBTHORPE suppnrted the clause, with the exception of the fatter part. Lord ALTHORP argued that the expense of hustings, as compared with the general expense, would be very small, and it would serve as a species of chick to individuals who, with little prospect of succe , s, might come forward as can didates, and thus inflict expense on others. Mr. C. ROSS opposed the clause. Mr. HUNT moved an amendment, that all booths erected for county elections should be pail out of the county rates ; and for those of cities or borough., out of the corporation funds, if any ; and if not any, out of a rate to he collected in the city or borough. Sir E. SUGDEN sail the expence should I e born. , by the county genet- ,Ily. It vi is difficuit to know wh it the funds of a corporation were, without filing a bill in Chancery. Lord SANDON suggested that the expence should he limited to 251. Lord ALTHORP said, that although he was di sirous to save c,ndidates expense, it was not fair to throw them mn the consrituent body. If any sum could be suggested that was not too much, or too little, he was favourable to the Noble Lord's proposal of limiting the expense; but 231._ was too small a. sum. Colonel WOOD proposed that the booths should be erected once for all, and defrayed by the county. Heavy expences would deter candidate.. Mr. HUME supported the propos4l for limiting the ex pence, which would deprive the country of the best candi dates it could have. Candidates should be encouraged to come forward : the more the better. Lord ALTHORP suggested 40/. for each polling place. After a few words from Mr HUNT and Colonel Sts• THORPE, the Committee divided__ For Mr. Hunt's amendment Against it 151 Mainrit v y ........ —l3o Tl.e clause, as amended by Lord ALTHOEP, then caused a short conversation, but, on the suggestion of Sir E. SUDDEN, its further consideration Was postponed, and the House resumed. CHOLERA MORBUS. The Cholera Morbui Prevention Bill wag read a thicd time and passed. The LORD ADVOCA TE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to increase the powers of the Privy Council with regard to Scotland, for the preventi , n of cholera raorbus and other contagious diseases. The Bill was read a first and second tinae, ordered to be printed, and to be committed this day. The other orders of the (lay were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One o'clock. A clause is to be inserted at the end of the Re form Bill, by which it will be enacted, in case of a dissolu tion of Parliament before the passing of the proposed Ronnibry Act, counties are not to he divided, the boun daries of the fl , 'W boroughs arp to lir defined, the limtn dirieg of the old boroughs are to remain, and the rights of voting are to take effect without registration.

VARIETY OF HABIT IN SPIDERS.----The habits of spiders vary greatly. Some rest in the centre of their webs, the outstretched cordage of which warns them of the temporary entinglement of their prey, on which they instantly rush, and devour after the infliction of a mortal wound. Others seek the protection of a leaf or other natural harbour, and only appear in the more open parts of their premises when lured by an expected capture. Many spin comfortable tunnels, or horizontal watch towers as they may be called, in which they repose till the vibration of their nets calls them into active service. An extensive tribe cf erratic species (the vagaliundae) spin no webs at all, but trust to strength, activity, and cunning, for their daily, or, it may be, monthly fare; for spiders, though voracious in times of abundance, are capable of frequent and long continued abstinence. The webless species are often endowed with the faculty of leaping, and after insidiously approaching their prey by the most wary and almost imperceptible footst e ps, they spring upon it at once, and inflict the fatal wound. Several kinds hunt down their insect food by speed of foot; and a few are nocturnal, and surprise their defenceless and unsuspecting victims during the darkness cf the night.—Encyclopecclia Britunnicl, New Edition. ~' C CHOLERA MORBUS. .1 BILL for the PREVENTION, as far as may be possible, of the DISEASE called the CHOLERA, or SPASMODIC or INDIAN CHOLERA, in ENGLAND:— Whereas the disease called the cholera, or spasmodic or Indian cholera, has appeared in the United Kingdom : and whereas, with a view to prevent, as far as may be possible, the spreading of the said disease, it may be necessary that rules and regulations should, from time to time, be established within Cities, towns, or districts affected with, or which may be threw. tened by the said disease; but it may be impossible to establish such rules and regulations by the authority of Parliament with sufficient promptitude to meet the exigency of any such case as it may occur : be it therefore enacted,hy the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spi ritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same; — That it shall and may be lawful for the Lords and others of his Majesty's Most Hono'urable Privy Council, or any two or •rbrt of them of whom), the Lord President of the Council, or one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State for the time being, shall always be one, by ally order or orders to be by them from time to time made, to establish, and again from tune to time, by any such order or orders, to revoke, renew, alter, and vary all such rules and regulations, or to substitute any such dew rules acid regulations as to them may appear necessary or expedient, for the prevention, as far as may be possible, of the spreading of the said disease called the cholera, or spasmodic or Indian cholera, within the United Kingdom, or any other part thereof, or for the relief of any persons suffering under or likely to be affected by the said disease, and for the safe and speedy interment of any person or persons who may die of the said disease.

A FANIOUS STAG HUNT.—The Surrey Stag Hounds, on Friday last, turned out a favourite deer at Sutton Grove for a day's sport. before a large field of sportsmen well mounted. The deer went away in gallant style towards Mordan, turning short to the right, crossing the river Wandrel to Beddington Corner, across Mitcham Common, through the deep to Pollard's Hill , crossing ti e Croydon-road to Biggin Hill and Norwood into Mrs. NES BIT'S Park, where the fences were taken with gallant style. through Dulwich Woods, across Sydenham Commo n, acros„ the Canal, which was swam by two gallant young sports men well known in the hunt. The deer took to B 6 rockham and Penge Common, where he was taken alter a fine run of one hour and forty minutes, over a fine country and plenty of fencing. These hounds have had the best sport this season of any stag-hounds in England. A favourite deer will he turned nut to-morrow at Smitharn Bottom, when it is expected they will have a good run; they will meet on Tuesday, the 20th, at Addington Village, and on Friday, the 24. th, at Reigate, at the White Hart Inn. CHOLERA M4RBUS. MEETING IN ROTHERBITHE. Yesterday a meetinit of the Disttiet Board of Health for the poish of St. May, Rotherhithe, was held in the Committee-room of tie Wm khouse;in the Deptford-road. to receive a report fron the resident surgeons tespecting the existence or non.exitence of the cholera notrbus in that parish. Mr. Skeggs, the senior churchwarden, w is called to the chair, and stated tie of ject of the meeting, which was to controvert the official statement issued by the Centr,l Board of a'th at Vihiteball, that three cases of spasmodic cholera had occurred at Rotherhithe. He was hippy to state that that dreadful malady had not yet visited the }wilt A long report drawn-up by ,Mr, Wright, the parorhia! surgeon, and ?Messrs. Morton and Johnson, two oth, r medical genletnen residing in Hither loth., was ri ad by Mr. Nottingham, the vestry clerk. It stated that ho• the last sis months the perish b a t not been in such a healthy state as'it was at present, and that, from the most minute inquiries , which they had made, no case of cholera l ai d oc curred in that-parish. A parishioner said he was much surprised that an of ficial document should have beta prmuuleated by the Central Board, that three decided cases of cholera ;iambus bad occurred in Rotherhithe, one of which had proved fatal. Messrs. Wright and Morton hail been attached to the Army Staff, and were conversant with the disease called the lodian cholera, of which they had seen many cases in India and on the Continent, arid were as well able to judge as any of the medical gentlemen attached to the Central Board at Whitehall respecting the existence of the disease. The other gentleman,.Mr. Johnson, was also in extensive practice; anti, after their united opinions that no case of cholera had occurred in liiitherhithe, he hoped t' at the unfounded report would be as publ'cly contradicted. A gentleman said, the business of the parishioners had been injured by the official report from the Council-office, and the depression of trade had been sensibly felt before, and the false report that the cholera had reached the pa risk was not wanting ta depress it further. A long discussion then ensued, and it was mutually agreed upon that resolutions founded on the report of the surgeons, declaring the parish of Rotherbithe to be in a healthy state, anti no case of cholera had yet occurred, should he advertised in the Morning and Evening Papers, in order to remove the alarm occasioned by the official report of the Central Board of Health.

Coroner for those parts has determined not to hold any inquests fur such a purpose. Upon the death of Sullivan, in South wark, la•t week, the parochial authorities applied to the Coroner to hold an inquest, as being a case of suspected cholera. He replied that his province was to inquire into real or supposed cases of death by violence, and . not front natural causes, as front choler a morbus; and .upon pro ducing to him a certificate from the medical men who attended, that it was a death front cholera, they would e at liberty to bury. A certificate to this effect was signed, but the medical gentlemen still pressed for an inquest, that some difference of opinion which existed might undergo a public discussion The Coroner, however, refused -to yield to the applica tion, an i he intends to pursue the same course in all similar cases bereaft , -r. The disease may be expected to exhibit itself in our prisons, as they .ire filled with dis solute characters ; and there is an old law which compels gaolers to give notice of every death in the prison to the Coroner, in order that an inquest may be held. These inquests are held within the prison, but the Jurors are summoned from without. Where, however, deaths from cholera morbus occur in the prisons of London and South wark, the Coroner, upon obtaining the certificate of the fact from the medical attendant, will abstain from holding an inquest, deeming it improper to subject twelve per sons to the possible danger from immediate contact with an infected person and place. Inquests in cases of death by violence, or suspected violence, will, of course, continue to be held as before. We can report no change in the feeling of the merchants of London on the ill-advi , ed haste with which an official declaration has been allowed to go forth, of the existence of the cholera on the banks of the Thames. No man thinks the evidence conclu•ive on which that declaration is founded, and he sees, at the same time, in the consequence which it must have upon foreign countries, the last blow given to the commerce of London, already declining under the competition with Liverpool and other northern ports of England. If ttfe': ti , :crnmon apprehension among - mer chants is to be any criterion on such a ~ u tt3eet, the effects must ere long be extremely serious.— Times. The great doors leading to the Coal Exchange were closed yesterday morning, and two city officers were in at tendance. Written notices were posted on the doors, signed by Mr. C. Pearson, stating, that in consequence of the alarming disease . now raging, officers were appointed to prevent coal whippers and other persons connected with the colliers lying in the river, not having business to transact, from going therein ; and all persons having business were desired to go up stairs and along the pas sage to the market. The state of excitement in the public mind was some what diminished on the publication of the official account respecting the progress of the cholera rnorbus in the eastern part of the town. The active preparations that have been made in the different wards in the city to render the most prompt assistance to those whO may be attacked, should th e disease reach the heart of the ►metropolis, has also had the effect of quieting the minds of. the citizens. It is stated in the city that Government was appriz,d of one ca , e of Asiatic cholera, on Monday, the 6th instant, on hoard the Felicity, last from Limerick. The medical man who intimated to the Central Board the existence of the disease in the river was informed that the vessel would be ordered to Stangate Creek, but she wou'd not be towed to the Creek until the Sth or 9th instant. The injurious effect which must inevitably result from the restrictions placed upon commerce by quarantine regulations have already began to be felt. The steam-boat (Batavia), which was to have started from Rotterdam this morning, (Wednesday) has not proceeded on her voyage, as she would have to perform a quarantine of 21 days in the Dutch ports before she would be allowed to land her cargo or passengers. It is not expected that any of the other steam-boats destined to other ports will, in consequence of their not being able to take clean hills of health with them, leave the port of London. On 'Change this after noon (Wednesday) the mercantile transactions for the export were on a very limited scale, owing to the impedi ments which will be thrown in the way of trade by the existence of the cholera in the metropolis. —Morn.

The Warwickshire County Papers of this week furnish a singular commentary on the busily propagated falsehoods of the Anti-Re formers, on the subject of re-action and popular apathy. An Anti-Reform declaration, with some few hundred names attached (headed by the Lord Lieutenant, Earl Warwick !), and five Lords, chaunts the usual Tory chorus against Political Unions, new Peers, and the Ministe rial Reform Bill, professing nevertheless mode ! . rate Reform. This document, like its fellow , declarations in other counties, has been snugly ' and privately '' got Up," and is profusely signed by Clerical Magistrates and such a Lieutenancy Staff as doubtless exists in a county over which an Opposition Lord Lieutenant presides. The Midland Representative states, that not above 100 Birmingham persons signed the protest. The real public opinion of this county cannot now he mistaken. The county, the county town, and the city of Coventry, returned to Parliament six representatives, staunch advo cates of the Reform Bill. No Opposition can didate appeared at the hustings throughout the county—formetly a district in which Toryism reigned paramount. No Anti-Reformer ap peared' at - any one public meeting during the ' last twelve months, and a large portion of the county Aristocracy publicly declared with the people. It will be nevertheless conveyed to Brighton, that the county of Warwick is op posed to Reform. We extract the following strange proof from the Birmingham Journal of Saturday : " THE POLITICAL UNION.-The usual meeting of the Political Cou:,cil took place on Tuesday night, when W. Bou!thee, Esq., of Herefoid,.was elected a. member. At the close of the meeting un application was made to the Chairman, to know when it would he Convenient to the Council to receive a Voluntary Declaration, sigiiNl by finly thousand men,' Members and Friends. V the Poll, tical Union, residing in the town and neidtbout . bdod of Birmingham, expressing their entire approbation of all, the proceedings of the Council, and their determination to support. the Council in any measures which it might deem necessary to the recovery of the national liberty and hap piness. The Chairman expressed his gratification at this new proof of confidence and enthusiasm on the part of the Union, and said that it was a subject of great importance, and that he must take time to consider of it. We under stand that the Dec:faro/too contains the age, residence, and occupation of eatqi,lif the parties signing it." What sort of re-action might take place in this county if the Reform Bill was again thrown out it, the Lords, and how far the Warwickshire Reformers would accept a sham measure of Re form from Anti-Reformers (who, professing moderate Reform, have all their lives opposed any Reform), we 'shall leave to' the' imagination of our readers. Certain we are that Mr. Thomas Attwood has a larger posse comitaius at his com mand than the Lord Lieutenant, Earl Brooke and Warwick ; and we are not surprised that his Lordship should, therefore, be . jealous of so powerful and popular a comtwuer, and should seek to suppress political organization, which nothing, however, can put down - but the passing of the Reform Bill. But to return to the mock liberalism of these protesting gentlemen. They profess in the declaration that they are anxious " for a safe, temperate, and effectual correction olahuses or defects which may be proved prac tically to exist ;" and that for such reformation " there are no warmer advocates than ourselves.' When did these gentlemen ever advocate any Reform, and when did they not oppose every suggestion of Reform ? Their conversion to the cause of liberty and political liberty is too late ; a death-bed repen'ance will not avail them. And who are these 800 Protestants in a county which is the focus of public spirit in favour of the national regeneration ? They are headed by the Lord Lieutenant, Earl Warwick ; by Lords Aylesford, Howe, Willoughby de Broke, Digby, and Redesdale. They comprise a tithe of parsons, in number sixty-eight, and only nine magistrates, half of whom are clerical ! The' declaration of course has the sanction and signature of the usual number of town-clerks of corporationS, and other municipal servants, including a copious proportion of farmers, tenants of the Tory land , owners, who naturally follow their land-lords' opinions and commands. It contains one hundred-and one Birmingham names only ; and this small sample of the property, character, and intellect of this large and wealthy county is, with infinite assurance, put forth as a proof of re action, and decided public opinion against the measures of his Majesty's Ministers. We apo logise to our-readers for bestowing so long a commentary on a local matter of such insignifi cance ; but we have made this minute analysis of a trumpeted and pompous document, ,to show in its true colours the arts of Tory imposture. That it should contain the names of Peers and magistrates is no marvel when it is considered by whom and of whom these castes have been made for the last century. At the WarwickL shire county Reform meeting in November, after the rejection of the Bill, Sir George Phil lips acutely observed— " There wes a want of accordance between the Lords and the people of England on this great question. What was the reason of that? Why, the people had been go verned for the last half century by a Ministry totally de void of liberal principles—a Ministry who threw every impediment in the way of an admission into the House of Lords, or into any of the honours of the Strte, of men of liberal principles. In several counties that had been car ried to such an extent, that the most trifling thing had been caught hold of to withhold from men of high rank and station the honours of even a Lord Lieutenancy." These remarks of the Hon. J3aronet, which we extract from the Chronicle report of No vember 10th, are extremely appropriate to a just estimate of the protesting declaration, as also the following extract from the Address to Earl Grey, unanimously voted at the same county meeting, where no Anti-Reformer showed his face : " That we observe with deep regret the active opposi tion to his Majesty's Councils and Government of persons holding official situations; and we respectfully implore your Lordship to terminate the disgraceful exclusion of men of liberal opinions from civil distinctions, and to re commend the constitutional exercise of all those Royal Prerogatives that may be now or hereafter essential to the success of the Reform Bill--energy and determination being necessary to the maintenance and success of your Lordship's Administration." That a county o f so muc h pu bli c sp i r i t an d energy bea Noblemandisg ustel thus Nsith opposed tle a Lord- Lieutenancy shoul d ()fs Lord Warwick is to the spirit of the times, can not be matter of wonder, when a despicable system of political exclusion proscribes from the Magistracy (in two flagrant instances especially) men of acknowledged station, property, and public character. Such a system must have its natural termination, and all sensible men would wish to see enlightened Members of the War wickshire County Aristocracy—Mr. Lawlev, Mr. Chandos Leigh, Sir George Chetwynd, and Sir George Phillips—raised to the Peerage, to represent the liberal opinions of the present age, as Lords Warwick, Aylesford, Willoughby de Broke, Dighy, Redesdale, reflect the by pne opinions and prejudices of past times. The Ministry cannot fail to discern in the noble names, thus blindly attached to these - Tory:ma nifestounequivocial signs of the second rejec tibti.of the Reform Bill- by th e P eers , if their numbers are not increased.—Mon!ing Chroti..

SIR,-After the statement given lately by you of the expenses of the M aryl all Penitentiary and thou of the English Penitentiaries, I think it may be satisfactory to your readers to know wherein the rules and regulations of the Mar}land Penitentiary differ from those of this country, that they may judge of their efficiency for the purpose intended (Reformation) : " Toe keeper shall not suffer more than one of the con victs at a time to approach the Directors or other persons pet mined to" co into the prison, nor any of the convicts to listen to anything such persons are saying, except when spoken to, and desired to pay attention; nor shall any, convict he permitted to accept a garnish, or beg or receive. anything from any person on any account wh ttsoeser. " No person visiting the Penitentiary Shall speak toany of the convicts except with the permission of the ;keeper, nor give them money nor any other article; nor shall either . of the convicts be permitted to speak to any person whatso'e'ver, unless w beiffirst spoken to. Any of the con. victsyiolating this rule shall he immediately confined in a splitTrY cell. • ." The prisonert(WhO distinguish themselves by their attention to cleSnliti . ss, sobriety, industry, and orderly conduct, shall tie reportedto the Directors, and meet with such 'reward as in theiropekier to grant or procure for them. " An indulgence to a person to visit a friend or relation within the interior of the Penitentiary can only be the result of good conduct in both'Parties, and when such in dulgence is, granted ; the keeper, or o n e of I,js nssistants, shall be alwiys present. Nit Orson shall, withmit consent of the keeper, carry anythlng in or out ofthe Penitentiary for any of the prisoners. • " The diet of the prisoners shall he as follows :'—For breakfast, three-foot:the Ofa pound of - Meal made into bread . , and one-half of a of molasses. mixed with water; for dinner,- half' a' pound of rixell g rodde into bread (a sufficient quantity being. reserved to thicken soup), half a pound of coarse meat made into imip; "lad a pint r . of liish po.atoes ; but when potatoes or coarse fresh Meat' cannot be had, the keeper may. in-kieu thereof, procure any other provisions in season, of equal value, : though of a di f ferent quantities. Provided, however, thit for extra ordinary services performed by any p'ilsorier r the keeper allay increase floe said allowance, and may'iliniinish it for any neglect of duty or other offence. The sat provisions shall be sound and wholesome, and SerVeti'af the ringing of a bell, at the sound of which all , ihe prisoners shall as semble and eat together, except the sick; who shall be fUrnished agreeably to'the directions of the attending phy sician.

J. H. GROSS MILITARY OUTRAGE. On Monday mo-ning the inhabitants of Pine Apple place, Edgware-road, were alarmed by the shriaks of a woman, carried by at hand gallop on a charger, which she was unable to hold in. By her almost incapable of keeping his seat, rode a HaWier of the Life Guards. The woman was mounted on a man's saddle of another troop. hors.. In les- time than is occupied by this description, the woman fell to the ground, and lay as if much hurt. Another trooper then rode up, and immediately afterwards followed a turd t'n foot, whose horse the woman had rode. Persons collected about the woman, and the soldier who had ridden by her side, drew his sword and cut at her se veral times. Another woman interfered to prevent him, and he cut at her too, but was too drunk to use his sword with an effect corresponding with his fury. The by standers then expressed their abbotrence, and he brand i•hed his sword among them, anti pushed his horse on the f tot•path in pursuit of one person, who was obliged to take shelter within the gate of a gentleman's house, to escape the sword of this hero. The master of the house, a gentleman of the highest respectability, wai also struck at by him. Ile tried to force the gate, and to cut at the objects of his rage through it. All this was accompanied with the most ferocious and filthy language. One of the troopers, who, we are told, is a corp wail, affected to in t,rfere, but did not really restrain the brute. The third t ?ok no part. Representations of this shameful outrage were immediately made to Marylebone Police-office, and to the Commander of the Life Guards, by whom, we understand, the complaint was not very graciously re ceived.
