The French Morning Papers of Wednesday, With the Evening Papers dated yesterday, have bee n received. An ordinance in the Moniteur a►►nounces that M. SEBASTIANt is so far re covered as to be able to resume his official duties 3 3 Secretary for Foreign Affairs. This will re lieve M. C. PERIER of some trouble ; for, what with his battles in the Chambers and other aiieial duties, his situation has not lately been a sinecure. Another instance was afforded on Tuesday, or the utter itnpolicy of persecuting the Press. The French Ministry, not convinced by re peated defeats, persisted in its ungracious Course, and prosecuted the Editor of the National—M. ARMAND CARREL, the spi rited gentleman who first resisted the Ordi nances of CHARLES X.,—together with three other writers ; and behold the result— an unanimous acquittal ! What can the Government of the citizen KlNG—himself the creature of the revolution brought aboa by these men—hope to gain by such inveterate, such heedless, nay, such provoking conduct ? If a fresh explosion be their aim, they cannot surely go more fatally to work. That such in- Judicious proceedings cannot render the KING more beloved, or consolidate his Govern ment, may be inferred from the eagerness which Juries display in acquitting those who fall under the displeasure of the Ministry. The wiser course then would be to leave such matters to the corrective influence of public opinion. The Chamber of Deputies resumed the discussion of the Budget of the War Depart ment when several reductions were proposed by the Opposition. General DEMARCAY wished the permanent pay of the Marshals to disappear al together, on the ground that General Officers were sufficient—whereas the Marshals were, he said, " good • for nothing, and in time of peace far more trouble than profit." This produced a general laugh. The President of the Coun cil maintained that the utmost reduction bad been made, and contended in ra ther warm terms that the Chamber, in its ideas of economy, was unknowingly led away by a sentiment of social jealousy.—(lnterruption.) " Yes, gentlemen," continued the Honourable Minister, "it inust not be concealed that there exists in the country a disease, a spirit, as it were, of vertigo.—(lncreased interruption)._ ‘t A spirit of vertigo," repeated he, which possesses certain individuals, and seeks to influence the vote of the Chamber. I entreat the Chamber not to yi e ld t o this e xtraneous sentiment, but to recollect that one of the principles of our Revolu tion is equality before the law, but not social equality. Woe to the country which seeks to reduce every thing to the same level ! There , would soon be no army, no administration, and soon, I may add, no country ; this social equa lity would involve every thing in ruin."—( Ap probation from the Centres.) A division afterwards took place on a propo sition for reducing the salary of general officers, when there appeared for the reduction 164 ; against it, 167, leaving the Minister only a ma jority of three. The following are extracts: — ( From Gallignani's Messenger of Wednesday.) Yesterday M. Armand Carel, Editor, and M. Paulin, Gi,rant, of the National, and M. Achille Roche, Author of an article inserted in the Monument, and M. Pierre Lyon, the Gerant of that Journal, were brought before the (kind of Assizes for provoking disobedience to the laws, and exciting rebellion by the publication of discussions upon the question of the personal arrest of writers in the newspapers, and maintaining that being illegal, resistance 'by force was lawful._ The prisoners were ably dtfended by M. Comte, and M. Odilon Barrot, and notwithstanding arguments of M. Persil, the Procareur du Rui, who con ducted the prosecution, they were all unanimously ac quitted by the Jury. M. Lennox, whose long confinement we have before no ticed, is at length released. The Moniteur contains as Otdonnance stating that General Sebastiani is recovered from his indisposition; a nd that, therefo re , t h e Ordonnance of the 25th ecember 1831, charging the President of the Council with the si - na ture of the For e i gn Department, is revoked. M. Sc g • hastiani resumed the active duties of his office Yesterday. T Muniteur also contains an Ordon nance, adding th; poi t of Binie (Cote du Nord) to th e num b er of those which, by the Ordonnance of Jan. 17, 1839, are allowed to import and export flour and vegetables. The Memorial Beige of the 12,th inst. (the organ of the Belgian Government) states that there is a decided change in the resolution of the King of Holland, leading to a con fident expectation that the ratification of the treaty will immediately take place. The Belgian Papers of this date contain no other matter of interest. A letter from Rome of the Ist instant says:—" The Pope has just issued a new Protest against the occupation of Ancona, declaring at the same time that he has orderco his troops to quit the town and recalled his delegate Fa brizi. He has also directed all the Pontifical arms and ensigns to be removed from the public buildings, in order to show that he does not even tacitly assent to the occu pation of the place, and that the only Government at An cona is a mere Government dej'acto. The Augsburg Gazette •f the 9th inst. contains the following letter, dated Frontiers of Italy, March 1 :—" A division of Austrian infantry has been concentrated near Modena. These troops are under the command of Ge neral Hrabowski, and have orders to march towards Rimini. The capture of Ancona by the French has caused this measure. Reports of war are now spread ing both in the Austrian army and all over Italy. It is even asserted that hostilities are to commence very shortly, and that an attack would be made against Ancona. TUese reports, however, seem to us pre mature. Yet it is certain that a great move ment now prevails in the Austrian army in Lombardy, and that Sardinia is making preparations in Savoy and Piedmont." Another letter states that Austria has de clared it as her intention to go to war if one of the follow- ing ca3ee should happen :—let, If the French troops should not evacuate the States of the Church at the same time as this was done by the Austrians. 2dlv, If the French supported the insurgents against the Papal Govern ment. 3,11 y, If the French should force the Holy Father to introduce in his States a Constitution similar to that of France.

(1822) English Loan, 101-.!,-. - The Nuremberg Correspondent of the Sth instant brings intelligence from Vienna to March 7. The health of the Duke of Reichstadt was not yet quite restored. The effects of an inflammation which had seized him still kept him confined to his apartments. Le Gurrier dry Bas Rhin of the 11th inst. contains the following, dated Strasbourg, March 10 :—" The per secution of the Press in Rhenish Bavaria continues with unabated violence. The Editor of the German Tribune has published an address to the inhabitants of Hamburg, in which he announces that the military have been ordered to break open his office and seal the presses. He adds that be shall not resist, but shall nfterwards call upon the I,ro per authority of the State to commence proceedings against the functionary who has ordered the illegal violence, and that, should no redress he found in this way, he shall then act as circumstances might direct in future. In the mean time, he calls upon the citizens, and especially upon youth, to at,stain from ail violence when the office is broken open. We learn by a letter from Toulon, dated the 9th inst., that the corvette La Diligente had received orders by the telegraph to take on board two companies of the 2lst light infantry, and sail with them immediately to Nava rin. She also carries out despatches to Admiral Hogon, which, it is said, point out the line of conduct he is to fol low in the present embroiled state of Greece towards the chiefs of the several parties, and towards the delegates of the two other mediating Powers. This letter adds, that the brig Le Ruse had sailed in the morning with sealed orders. Her mission was said to be important, though its object was unknown.

Until more au thentic accounts are known, it would be useless to speculate any further on the object of his mission, or the probability of the King of Hot,- LAND ratifying the Belgian treaty.—The pre sent understanding is, that the KING has con sented, and that tLe Count is only waiting the return of a messenger from London, with the answer of the Conference to the proposed mo difications:— THE HAavx, MARCH 12.—The Surinam steam-ho; t has come from Flushing to Helvoetsluys, for the purpose, it is said, of conveying Count Orloff to London. His Excellency Lieutenant-General de Kock, Com mander-in-Chief of the troops in Zealand, left Middel burg on the 10th, to view the troops which are cantoned in the fifth district of that province. The Scheldt steam-boat brought on the bth, from Bres kens to Flushing, deserters from the Belgians, with their arms and accoutrements. They are all Prussians, belong ing to the foreign legion at Bruges. Tux HAGUE, MARCH 13.—The sections of the second Chamber of the States-General, is constantly engaged in examining the proposed changes in the caries. It is posi tively affirmed, that the corrected tariff of import and ex port duties, together with the general law, will he shortly sent by the Government to the Second Chamber. Count Orloff is still here ; yesterday evening he, with most of the Foreign Ministers, was at the French Theatre, to witness tee performances of the well-known M. Alex andre.—We hear that a courier has lately been despatched from this place fir London, for whose return Count Orloff is waiting. A Russian courier, from St. Petersburgh to London, passed through Berlin on the Sth. Count Simenitsch, Russian Ambassador to the Court of Persia, set out from St. Petersburgh on the 24th of February, to proceed first to Tiflis. _ _ _ Bois-LE-DUC, Maacif 11.—No change has taken place in the positions of our troops. Every preparation is mak ing for the announced inspection of the troops ; the exer cise of the several corps are resumed, and all deficiencies in the accoutrements, &c., supplied. We hear no more of an increase of the force in Zealand. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 13.

Our Portsmouth Correspondent informs us that a squadron is expected to meet at Spithead this summer for experimental purposes, similar to the squadron which last year cruised in the Channel. The Britannia, Caledonia (three deckers), Revenge, Talavera, Convoy, Vernon, and Pantaloon are the only ships at present named as likely to assemble. We arc extremely sorry to find by a letter from our correspondent at Portsmouth that two cases of cholera have been reported by the sur geons in that place to the board of health in that town. One case proved fatal, the other was fast approaching a state of convalescence. --- Air. HUNT brought forward his motion last night on the subject of that dicgraceful—that sanguinary blot in our social history—the Manchester massacre• Ministers resisted the :investigation solely on the ground that at this distant period it could lead to no good result. Besides, we question the pro priety of Mr. HUNT'S agitating such a question at the present time, when the nation is so deeply engrossed in the contemplation of the one great question, the speedy settlement of which would be the best guarantee against a repetition of such Atrocities as those complained of by Mr. HUNT. The motion was negatived by, a majority of 206 to 31. In another part of our Paper will be found an extraordinary Police Report, in which Mr. O'CONNELL is made to appear in no very creditable light. Of the truth of the charge, we of course can say nothing, except that we have our doubts—our very strong doubts ; but true or false, we think since Miss ELLEN COURTENAY has allowed her grievances to go to sleep for fifteen years, they can be of no very heart-breaking or intolerable character. Besides, we do not conceive she has chosen a very creditable or seasonable opportunity of making known injuries of so many years standing, ' when the author of them is in another country, and has no opportunity of de fending himself. Ilad Mr. O'CONNELL not been a stirring political character, we question much whether we should have heard a word of this heart-breaking affair. We must confess we dislike the look of the thing altogether. It has a very suspicious appearance, not withstanding it has been made the subject of a pamphlet--pamphlets often lie, and never so roundly as when they are of a personal character —and has been all but corroborated by a stout Bow-street oath. COURT CIRCULAR. The cause of the sudden t postponement of the Queen's Drawing-room was the dangerous illness of her Majesty's niece, the Princess Louise. The Princess was left by her mother, on her departure for the Continent, under the care of her Majesty, the Princess being then in an infirm state of health. The first medical advice has been procured for her Highness, but with out effect. On Saturday the Princess became seriously ill, and the state of her health was such on Wednesday that the Queen delayed her departure from Windsor till late in the afternoon. Her Majesty arrived in town shortly before seven o'clock, and between eight and nine o'clock an express arrived, bringing intelligence that the Princess was worse. Her Majesty, in consequence, left town about ten o'clock for the Palace at Windsor, and at Hounslow met another express coming from Windsor. Orders were then issued to postpone her Majesty's Drawing Room, and also the grand dinner intended to have been given by the King last evening, at St. James's Palace, to the Directors of the East India Company. His. Majesty left town about five o'clock yesterday afternoon for the Palace at Windsor ; previous to his departure the King gave audiences to the Hanoverian Minister, Earl Grey, Lord Hill, Lord Holland, and Sir James Kempt. The Duchess of Gloucester is going on very well. Prince Talleyrand, the French Ambassador, transacted busi ness with Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Bishop of Durham, Visebunt Melbourne, Viscount Al. thorp, and Mr. Stanley, had interviews yesterday with Earl Grey at the Treasury. The Commander of the Forces transacted business with Vis_ count Goderich yesterday at the Colonial-office. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Miss Fanny Kemble's long-promised tragedy of Francis the First was brought out last night at this theatre. Public expec tation was greatly excited on the occasion, nor was it in the slightest degree disappointed. Miss Kemble has shown that, both as a dramatist and a tragedian, she possesses abilities of the very highest order. On her entrance she was recessed with loud, reiterated plaudits from all parts of the house, which were given with a heartiness and sincerity, that if equalled, we have never seen surpassed. The effect on the feelings of the young lady was evident ; but she promptly recovered, and did ample justice to her twofold pretensions as authoress and ac tress. The plot of her tragedy is something like the following : Charles, Duke of Bourbon (Mr. C. Kemble) is recalled by orders of Louisa of Savoy, the King of France's mother (Miss F. Kemble) from the command of the army stationed in the tributary states of Italy. The Duke is attached to Margaret of Valois, sister to the King of France (Miss Taylor) and on his arrival at the Court of France we find him breathing forth to her, at the same time, his love and complaints for his unex pected recall. Shortly afterwards he has an interview with the Queen Mother, who hesitates not to let him understand that it was her passion for bim which prompted her to recall him, in order that he might be raised to higher honours nearer home : he spurns her proffered love, which is immediately turned in her to the bitterest hatred, to gratify which, in the first in. stance, the command of the army is given, in the presence of the assembled Court, to Bonnivet and Latrec, (Duruset and Baker), two smooth-faced minions of the Court. The Duke is then commanded to deliver up his sword of office with which he is begirt ; he does so, and breaks it in twain, denouncing his country for ingratitude; in consequence he is arrested as a traitor and rebel, and lodged in a state prison. The Queen Mother, through the agency of Gonzales, a Spanish Monk, her confessor (Warde), again renews her overtures, and they are again spurned. Gonzales had been in the Spanish army against France, he makes himself known to the Duke, who, inspired with revenge, takes the advantage of the Monk's offer, who aids him in his escape, preparatory to his joining the Spanish army. Meantime an under-plot is going on :—Laval (Mr. G. Bennet) is betrothed to Francoise de Foix (Miss E. Tree). The lady is seen and admired at a tournament by the youthful King of France (Mr. J. Mason), with whom several unwilling interviews on the part of the lady takes place ; in one of these the Queen Mother makes her ap pearance rather abruptly, and discovers her eon declaring his passion. From that moment she determines to make short work of it with Francoise : she obtains, by dint of promise, the consent of Gonzales to murder her—a consent the more readily given in consequence of a deep hatred entertained by the Monk towards Laval, whose father had ruined the fair prospects of the former. Laval, who has been absent, re turns, and is anxious to see his betrothed. Her inter views with the King would appear to have been car ried further than the bounds of propriety would war rant; these are prevented by the Monk to gratify his revenge on Laval ; and this revenge is amply gratified, for the lady, stung to the soul by his taunts, snatches a poignard from Laval's side, and destroys herself. The principal cha racters in the drama make their appearance, and a scene of disclosure and fierce recrimination takes place ; the Monk up braids Laval, and tells him his tears, over the dead body of Francoise, have been a sufficient reward ; in the presence of the King he discloses the tbul designs of the Queen Mother in recalling Bourbon, and wishing for the murder of Francoise, and the drama ends with the King taking from his mother the ensigns of regal authority, and consigning her to a nunnery. The leading defects of Francis the First as an acting drama— in which light only we shall now view it—are, first, a want of continuity in the plot ; secondly, a too frequent halting in the action, from the passion of the different personages to make speeches. But there is no dearth of incident, no meagreness of invention, no insipidity. The play, from first to last, is full of character ; and were its different incidents more bar. moniously blended together, would tell with tenfold effect. So far as the acting was concefird, nothing could be better. All the performers did their beseCVard, whose voice is the very organ of sarcasm, spoke the bitter passages of his part with infinite spirit, and evidently felt himself at home. His assumed meek ness to the Queen Mother, and subsequent exposure of her in. trigues, were in the finest possible contrast to each other. Of Miss Kemble herself, we may say that we have never seen or heard her to greater advantage. She played throughout with remarkable judgment, appealing to the understandings not less than the feelings of her audience. The avowal of her passion to Bourbon—a difficult point—was as true to nature as one of Fielding's prose epics. Even the simple action of covering her face with her hands, when she first finds that her advances are flung back on her with scorn, and the delivery of the words, " are we obeyed ?" were full of power and expression. Mr. C. Kemble well supported his daughter, and in many parts of his acting, brought back on us a vivid recollection of his splendid Faulconbridge t . c His sp nteheeececrohuin, unfortunate Lion of the High Constable of France, the founder of the present Bourbons, was historically e a o s r a r rn e ei c pm t r . representative o n Hisanimation : se wasof r was t ui\ni perhapsaistsep Ellenrh a i so ma na f d a d r e a at hinted leas h t ase beauti ful r love to Laval, in the words : " Never forsake my brother, And for my brother's sake, since sou and he Are but one soul, be mindful of yourself," withirresistible grace and delicacy. Mr. Mason made as much of Francis as it was possible to make. A. little more dignity, however, would have become the representative of the most regal and chivalrous of France's Monarchs. We must not . ... - omit noticing Miss Taylor, whose Margaret qt . Valois was a chaste, yet spirited, piece of acting. On the whole the tragedy wente remarkably well, having been got up in every respect with consummate tare. Had it not been broken into two dis. tinct plots it would have left us nothing to desire. But on this head Is e shall speak more at length when we come to review it s a literary composition, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.---(THIS DAY.)

CITY MA RKETS-(TWO O'CLOCK. , The Colonial Market has again undergone no further im provement within the last two days. BRITI Ii PLANTATION SUGAR-This market con tinues to evince considerable activity at a further advance in prices of Is. 6d. to 2s. per cwt. on last week's quotation. The supply is, however, so small, that the sales in the week ending this morning, do not exceed 1,400 hhds A few parcels of St. Kitts and Demerara Sugars, of the new crop, have obtained from 555. to 58s. per cent. for good samples, and inferior Sugars are worth from 50s. to 525. per cwt. The arrivals from the West Indies are small, the recent insurrection having retarded the exports from the West Indies. Brown Jamaica are quoted at 51s. to s'2s. per cwt. FOREIGN SUGARS.-Yellow Havannahs are rather lower, having been sold at 235. to 245. 6d. ; but white Havannahs are purchased extensively at an improvement, from qualities fetch ing 375., and middling, 345. to 365. per cwt. In other foreign Sugars there is nothing doing. EAST INDIA SUGARS.-The sales of Mauritius, of the new crop, and of firm quality, have exceeded 13; 00 bags, and at prices averaging from Is. 6d. to 2s. per cwt. ; grey yellow fetches 535. 6d. to 575. 6d.

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK Charleston Papers, received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 17th February, bring accounts from the Havannah, of a recent date to the 9th February, which state that the Spanish packet arrived the previous evening, which left Cadiz 10th Jan. Nothing new had transpired—the Havannah Price Current says that coffee was firtn at 11 to 13 dollars ; small parcels of new sugar were selling at 5,9, 6, and 10 dollars, which were high prices, considering the low rates of exchange; the browns, at this moment, are preferred, but there will be an eaten• sive dem..nd for whites in March. TliE FUNDS. Our Funds maintain their prices, although little busi ness is doing as yet. Consols which left off yesterday at 83i i for the account, opened this morning at the same price, since which they have been done at 83i a, and 82i for money. At present there is no alteration in the Foreign Market, arid the prices are much the same as yesterday. We have no arrivals of consequence. Consols are not so good since the above was written 83i for money 831. . HALF-PAST ONE. From the Dutch Paper Handelsblad, received this morning :_. HAGUE, MARCII 12.—Matters draw every day more towards a favourable conclusion. We are informed, from good authority, that the final declaration of his Majesty has been transmitted to-day to the London Conference ; his Majesty has resigned the sovereignty of Belgium, and has acknowledged King Leopold. The modifications asked for your Government are of that nature, that it may be reasonably inferred both the Conference and Belgium will accept them. The greatest difficulty will be to find out a way of shaping the modifi cations of the Twenty four Articles, so as to bring them in accordance with the ratifications of Fiance and England. nit likely this will be done by a few additional Articles. Count Orloff will probably set out for Amsterdam by to morrow, or the day after, but it is not supposed that he will go to England before the answer of the Conference is given to the communication of his Majesty, which is like wise to be considered as the ultimatam of Russia, Prussia, and Austria. Some money stock has been thrown on the Market in the early part of the thy, in consequence of which Consols receded from 83 buyers to 831 for the account, since which a trifling re-action has taken place, and Consols at present may be quoted at 83fl, and 881 for money. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing, and the prices of Foreign Securities are much the same as yesterday. THREE O' CL CK. Consols, 83i i.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of ELDON, arvz Lords PLUNKETT, CHARLEMONT, and OAKLEY, sat ir. the House of Lords to-day, for the purpose of hearing this appeal, the facts of which have long since been before th. public in detail, the case having gone repeatedly throuvl all the Courts of Equity, both upon interlocutory appli cations and the regular hearing of the cause. The bill was originally filed by the respondent, for the purpose o Setting aside a lease granted by Mr. De Beauvoir, whom he was the heir-at-law, to Mr. Rhodes, o f lands in the Kingsland-road and the neighbourhood of Hackney, on the ground that the lessee was not acquaiated with the value of the property a the time of granting the lease, and that in consequence thereof, it was obtained by Mr. Rhodes at a very inade quate consideration. The appeal was from the decree of the present Vice-Chancellor, setting aside that lease. Mr. PErys, with whom was Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. CHING, appeared as Counsel for the appellant. The 8"- LICITOR-GIINERAL and Sir E. Seam; were for the re spondents. When our reporter left, Mr. Parrs had not concluded his address to their Lordships, and the case seemed ex tremely likely to occupy several days. ROLLS' COUR r.-(THIS DAY.)

Lord Cleveland's famous stallion Whisker also died on M last at Newmarket. STEEPLE MATCH.—GRIMALDI AND MOONRAKER. The charge of crossing made by Mr. Seffert against Mr. Osbaldeston having been referred by the parties to the Hon. Colonel Anson, the matter was gone into yesterday, when the Colonel decided that the charge was unfounded, and that Mr. 0. was entitled to the stakes, which have been paid over. From what fell from the gallant Colonel we are enabled to state that there was not the slightest ground whatever for the charge, and that Mr. Osbaldeston's riding was perfectly fair and sportsman. like. Webelieve that Mr. 0. has the most reason to complain of being crossed.

A very respectable meeting was held to.day in the slansion.house, of the Committee who for a lone time past ;ave been relieving the necessities of the poar, by provid e.. them with warm clothing. ' The LORD MAYOR took the chair at half-past one .'clock. His Lordship said be WRR at all times happy to .reside at any meeting having for its object the relief of he poor. He would not detain the meeting longer than nerely to say that the exertions of the Committee had dready been of great use, bat the funds were exhausted. He hoped fresh exertions would be used, otherwise th Committee must pause in their good offices. Two resolutions were then passed to the effect of what his Lordship had stated. Sir C. MARSHALL said it was with pleasere that he moved a vote of thanks to the Lady Mayoress, and the Ladies Committee, for their great assistance in purchasing and distributing the clothing. Mr. C. PEARSON, in seconding that resslution, said that the services which the ladies had performed, were incalcu lable, for the money in the hands of gentlemen would net have done one tithe of the good it had done. As being connected with the Board of Health, he frequently met with cases where, from his own experience, he knew the good which the Committee had effected—in one instance ; in which he had himself seen, the inhabitants of a whole Court in Whitecross-street had been supplied with good warm clothing. He was sorry to see so few present. hut he hoped that those who were, would use every exertion among their friends to enable the committee to 4 0 on in their benevolent undertakines. There were many who sneered at the disease, which had n.w lodged itself in the city, because its priestess had riot been so de structive as it had been on the Continent. To such he had no answer, further than to refer them to what it had done in pieces in our own country ; but the question ah ,uld 'rot be mixed up with the present meeting, for the object of this com.t.ittee was to be of service to Outmode of poor persons in the city, and so enable th. m to keep off very disease. He thought it was unneeeassary to play upon the fears of any one present ; hut he would only re mind them that if disease was not stopoed in its proeress among the poor it woeld infallibly extend itself to the rich. In conclusion, he trusted the ladies, 'chin were such ex cellent beggars. would do all in their power ro increase the funds of an Institution which had sucb laudable objects in view. The resolution was carried rio•nitnottsly. Mr. THORNHILL moved a vote of thanks to the Bishop of London for his patrmagr of the Society, and for his re commendation to his clergy on the day of the Genera Fast, to make collections for the purposes of tke institution. Mr. GREIG seconded the resoluti;.n. Dr. Russztt proposed a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, for his great exertion* in behalf of the institution, whieh was carried unanimously. The LORD MAYOR in returning thank., implored the meeting, asthey valued the happiness of the poor, the secur rity of their country, and the health of their families, to devote their time, talents, and money, in promoting so praiseworthy a cause as that which they had mat that day to advocate. The meeting then broke up. MEETING AT LAMBETH.-(THIS DAY)• 473 14M A meeting of the inhabitants of the pariah of Lambeth was held this morning, at the Vestry-hall, to take into con sideration a communication from the Lambeth Board of Health relative to the grant for 200/. for retrospective and prospective expences towards establishing an hospital for the reception of cholera patients, and for other incidental expences. At ten o'clock Mr. Moose took the chair. The Vestry Clerk (Mr. Wetmore) rand the communicaa tion from the Board of Health, of which Dr. Doyley, the Rector, was Chairman, stating the necessity t.f the Vestry taking into consideration the expences to which the Board had been put, and requesting a grant of the amount, vie. 801. for the rent of the hospital for a year ; 30/. f,•• expences already incurred ; bed. for furniture, nurses, ad medicine; and 40/. for various contingencies—total sloa. The CHAIRMAN, at the request of some of the pa riehioners, read the warrant of the Privy Council, consti tuting the Board of Health, and remarked that the war rant did not specify what the duties of the Board were to be—whether to attend to tLe cholera, the typhus fever, or the small-pox, or any other disorder. It merely ap pointed those gentlemen " to proceed in the execution of the duties requested of them respectively " He found that the Act of Parliament and the warrant were &red the same day, via. the 20th F e bruary—(Laughter)—and he also found on reference to the supplement to the Lon don Gazette, that the granting or retusiug the present application was in the discretion of the parish, although there was certainly a controlling pas:7er vested in the Privy Council.—(Cries of What is the oEO then of the Vestry." "Itis an insult.") Mr. WOOD observed that the Pik y Council, .With the apprab.tion of a magistrate, had the power of makitaz rate for the purpose, if the vestry refused to make one. The OSA IRMA N said that Ministers had been urged to do something in consequence of the alarm that was created, and they had accordingly got the act passed ; but that was no reason why there should be a necessity for a board of health in that parish.—(Cheers.) He had not heard any evidence to show that the disease existed in their parish ; -Le knew of no case of cholera, nor did be believe there was one in the parish. He had inquired of many medical friends, all of whom stated that there was no disease but what had frequently before prevailed (Applause.) They told him that a disease prevailed among the wretchedly poor persons, but without authentic docu ments to prove that it was cholera ; he did not know wl y they were to biirthen the parish with any expense. Mr. COWARD, a Member of the Board, said they were appwinted by Dr. Macann.—(Louo hisses.) They had had many cases, certainly, but be could not take upon himself to say they were cholera cases.—(Laughter.) He was not a medical man, but' e medical men pronounced them to be cholera —(Laughter and hisses.) He then read a letter signed " Mott and Drouet," in which it was stated that several fatal cases had occurred in the workhouse, and re questing the Vtstry to make prevision for the proper attendance and care of them. As to whether the Vestry agreed to the recommendation of the Board or not it was a matter of perfect indifference to them ; they were unwin ing to incur expense, and had not done so until they were compelled. Mr. DRYSDALE (a surgeon) said it would be far better to establish a Seup Kitchen for the poor instead of a Cho lera Hospital.—(Loud cheers.) The deaths had been only 33 in a population of nearly 100,000. He believed that the disease was not contagious, that it was endemic, and only prevailed among those of the poor who resided in a foul atmosphere, and were without the necessares of life.—(Cheers.) He knew an instance of a medical man getting en a bed and lying there three hours just after a person had died in it (said tor be cholera) and he caught no disease. He---(Mr. Drysdale)—protested against the parish being called upon to pay any such de mand as the present. Mr. BRIA UT (a medical menibt rof the Board) declared that he had seen many cases of cholera, and must fright ful ones they were—(cries of " Name.") There were so many that he could not name them.—(Laughter ) Two persons had already died of it in the workhouse. A long and stormy discussion ensued between various parishioners, the majority of whom were strongly against, the grant of money. Eventually, Mr. Redhead moved that the Report of the Medical Beard he received, which was carried unanimously. He then moved that it be adopted (that is, to give the Medical Board the 2001. and authority to continue in their office.) Mr. FALL moved as an amendment, " that it does not appear expedient to give the Board of Health any direc• lion or authority." On a show of hands the amendment was carried by a large majority. The result of the proceedings leaves the matter en the hands of the Privy Council to exert the extraordinary powers with which they are invested. As far as the vote of the vestry goes . the Board of Health is virtually dissolved. :onday il9Ti § ff. The Rev. W.
