TIIE IMPETUOSITY of PASSION, and the coincidence of general gaiety must involve 4 considerable portion of the community in the sufferance 01 /Itemet4isorders which are destined to be the punishment of illicit indulgence. And since the tune of Monkish s uperstition, no blame has been imputed to medical Practi tioners for the exertions of their skill in the removal of these complaints. As medical ability cannot therefore be more usefully or Mor e resp ec t a bly employed, it is only necessary to inquire where it can be most decisively depend e d upon, certainly not a mong th os e who rush without education into the practi ce o f E scu l a pian slaiithter ; but among tho se who. after regular initiation, come NI their exertions to one point, and concentrate their skill in the study and treatment of One Branch. Dr. Courtenay, from the University of Edinburgh, is entitled by his qualification to make this selection, and after unprecedented success for upwards of Thirty-five Years, he may now without 1. resumption, offer restoration in cases where the must eminent Practitioners have failed. An Insidious Disorder may be contracted in an unguarded moment of intoxication. By this plan of cure, pain is prevented, the possibility of danger precluded, and the constitution is left, not merely unimpaired, but absolutely improved by the process. The sufferings of this complaint are however trifling Compared with the consequences of that destructive prac tice fur which O n an suffered death. To those whose feelings ar e suscept ib le of the misery which this pernicious habit has occasioned, it may be some consolation to know, t hat, by proper perseverance, the most deplorable debility tn ay be removed. When estates are dependant on the progeny of m arr i e d peop l e, t h e removal of those imperil ' ents is to many the restoration of life's best enjoyment, 1 1 , 2 r is it unreasonable to expect success from the connection of that peculiar state of the constitution, by which con ception i s prevented, or the embryotic prisoner constantly stroyed.

GOLDSMID and Co. has caused some sensation in the Russia trade to-day. It is believed that their deficiencies will prove to he larger than was at first conjectured. The firm had pretty large transactions in the Manchester trade, and were connected with the trade to Bremen, the Baltic wrrts, &c. It is understood that the firm sustained a con siderable loss hy the failure of a house with which it is connected at Bremen, and which were indebted to them to the extent of 5,0001. or 6,000/. Very little eff-et was prpcluced in the prices of Baltic produce, as the tr:lnsac tions of the firm in question in this description ~ 1 goods were limited. We are informed that in the Lords' Commit tee on the Irish tithes it has been decided that the name and character of tithes shall be abolished in I: eland, and that a tax (somewhat similar to a Grand J.,1 y eras) be established in lieu, and some arrangement entered into with the by impropriators. In fact, a commutation, and not a composition, is determined on, as originally pro posed by Mr. STANLEY. THE DISTRESSED WEAVERS.—StIeh is the dreadful state of the distress and destitution to which the poor weavers of the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, are now reduced, that the workhouse, which was built to contain five hundred paupers, has now within its walls upwards of eleven hundred I In an apartment, the dimen sions of which are about twent"-four feet by twelve, there are now twenty-one persons, labouring under the dreadful effects of typhus fever, sleeping two, and in some instances three, in a bed. Upwards of two hundred and fifty poor wretches are compelled, for want of better accommodation, to divide between them only seventy-two beds. The typhus fever is raging in five of the wards, and, unfortu nately for these afflicted of our fellow-creatures, the Fever Hospital, at Battle-bridge, is fillet to overflowing. The landlord of a row of twenty-one houses in INlanchester court, at the back of Hare-street (much to his credit), aware of the distressed and starving situation of his mise rable tenants, who are poor weavers, has not demandei of them a single farthing for rent for upwards of two years! An inquest was held before Mr. GELL yes terday afternoon at the York Arms, Carson -street, May fair, on the body of Mrs. ISABELLA RICHARDSON, the wife of Mr. JOHN RICHARDSON, of the Griffin, in Half- Moon-street, Piccadilly, whose death was occasioned .by the violence of a woman named TAYLOR, rtho pulled her down by the hair ed her head, and fractured her skull, (n Tuesday, from the effects of which she died on Saturday last.

The Speaker or Serje,int-at Arms met the unhappy creditor at the door with the mace, and, if he was clamorous against his privileged debtor, sent him to occupy his place in the goal which he had left, or to suffer a more severe detention in a different prison. If, on the other hand, our knavish candidate for P,rliamentary honours was out of gaol at alle time of his election, he might, during the time of his occupying a scat in the contract debts to any amount, without being liable to those restraints to which unprivileeed debtors may be subjected. During the time that rotten boroughs existed (they are now, we trust, out of date), it might be worth a man's while to pay a thousand a year to a borough agent to be guaranteed against arrest. The rules of the House of Commons bring thus better than the rules of the King's Bench, might be purchased at a higher rate, especially when, in addition, to their protecting quality, they likewise confeired the title of Honourable Gentleman, and the power of de frauding the public revenue, as well as private indivi duals, by franking letters to a whole neighbourhood. The grounds on which these extraordinary privi leges were originally granted were justifiable enough, but they now no longer exist. At a time when the Crown might choose to paralyse the exertions of an obnoxious debater, or to prevent the success of a particular vote, by sending Members out of the way on charges of debt, it was necessary to surround Parliamen ary independence with extraordinary immu nities. At present fictitious arrests can no longer take place, and a Member of Parliament has no right to be protected from the fulfilment of obliga tions which his fellow-citizens are compellable to discharge by the fear of imprisonment. The Legislature seem to have acted on this sys tem by various reductions or changes in its privileges. A bankrupt now ceases to be a Member of Parlia ment by the very establishment of his bankruptcy, or the appearance of his name in the Gazette; and why should not an insolvent be subject to the same rule ? No reason can be given applicable to the former, which is not equally applicable to the latter. Indeed, the common award of law, and the legal treatment of the parties, would seem to indicate that the bankrupt might continue a Member of Par liament, while the insolvent could not ; as the former is in ordinary cases exempted from that imprison ment to which the latter is subjected. We can conceive no possible practical inconve nience in assimilating the law of the two cases, or in excluding both bankrupts and insolvents from Parliament, when the character of both shall be established by an appeal to the usual tribunals. We have already expressed our objections to ar rest on mesne pocess, when practised against ordi nary debtors; and of course we would denounce it as much more objectionable if allowed to be exer cised aertinst Members of Parliament, where a ma licious private arrest might lead to the interruption of a great public duty. But when a man is cited before the impartial tribunals of his ceont r y,_ w h„ judgment is given against him itt cases of debt, arid when lie declares that he is unable to satisfy his cre ditors, without going to gaol,—we see no reason why his Parliamentary privilege should protect hi m against the extremities to which other debtors are liable. In this case there could be no surprise, be cause notice must have been given, and the cause must have been tried; there could be no secret kid napping of a Member to turn the scale of a vote, because the Speaker must have been informed of the award so as to report the case to the House; arid there could be no inconvenience felt by the consti tuent body, because they would either have an op portunity of paying the debts of their insolvent re presentative or finding a representative who was no' insolvent. 1 Having thus established, by arguments similar to those used by Mr. Baring, the policy of the measure contemplated in his Bill, we might proceed to con firm it by a reference to recent cases of fraud and iniquity practised under the existing system, were our general reasoning deemed insufficient or inconclusive. If an appeal to such cases were necessary, we should not need to go further back than to that of General Burton, which was alluded to irs the debate on Tues day, and respee.ing which a correspondent has sent us a pamphlet of 36 pages, in the shape of a letter to the Speaker, giving " A narrative of rhe proceed ing instituted against Burton's creditors, for a breach of the privileges of Parliament, in prosecuting an action against the Wardell of the Fleet prison for suffering him to escape from custody, in obedience to an order of the House." The following is a short outline of the case. Mr. Christie Burton, in May, 1813, being then in the custody of the Marshal of the King's Bench, was charged in execution by a Mr. Muxon, of Hull,. for a debt of 1,0001., and a considerable airear of interest. Burton at that period enjoyed the rules, and removed from the Fleet to the King's Bench, or or from the King's Bench to the Fleet, as suited his i convenience. When he had been several years n this kind of gentle confinement, the worthy electors of Beverley, in 1818, cast their eyes upon him as a person Tiaiified, by his talents and virtues, to repre sent them in Parliament. The prisoner in execution left the rules of the Fleet prison on the I 7th of June in that year, arrived at Beverley on the 19th, and re mined there for so m e ti me . A Bill was filed against the Mar s h a l for allowing him to escape ; but the pri soner was back, and a4ain in custody, before the time that th e B i ll cou ld - be prosecuted. Mr. Moxon having himself become bankrupt, the right of suing Burton for the debt fell into the hands of his -as signees, and, as the House of Commons had ordered him to be discharged from custody as a Alember,these assignees commenced an action against the Warden for an escape. Then the trials of the poorassignees began, who all at once, and to their great surprise, found themselves, not contending With the Marshal of a prison, but with the Speaker of the House of Commons. The Committee of Privileges took up the affair, and resolved that the assignees of Moxon had been guilty of a high bleach of . privilege; or, in the words of the Chairman of the Committee, had incurred the odium " of one of the most aggra- - : ki,,; ix:IL. i • !•A - ~i.„,......,,...: .1, V,4...:10:-..5.' , , .

Fox, and Nlessre. Place and p rry, was appointed to superintend the distzamtiv of u s eful tracts ;—to meet on each \Vedneaday `l:bL lit-etitrertfFftwal, polilical, and physical subject, are to be (.elivered on each Mond.ty evening. The admission charge to be 2d. each lecture. A Committee, consisting of several individuals, was ap po.nted to inquire into the causes of the distress which the inhabitants of Spi!alfields suffer, and which many gentle men agreed in representing of the severest description. Mr. Muttenv moved that the Business Committee he empowered to suspend, should they deem it necessary, the medtings of the Council. This, it appeared, was occa sioned by the powers to he vested in the Privy Council of dispersing any assemblage, of persons it may deem proper, as from any circumstynces likely to favour the spread of cholera. Mr. filcKsoN deprecated my motion which would in crease the unfoundel and dangerous alarm already pre valent on this subject. Every thing he had heard and observed forced on him the conclusion that the cholera of the metropolis was not a n:•w disease, hot the Idd epidemic of this country, and he was glad to find by the Times of that morning a confirmation of his opinion from so re spectable a physician as Dr. Uwins. Several gentlemen expre,sed themselves to the same effect, and thought the alarm was intentionally increased by the Anti . Refot tners. The motion was then withdrawn, and the Counci broke up. The gallery of the House of Commons last night presented a very limited display of " strangers," over and above the usual number of attendants there fir the purpose of noticing the debates; and this, it was un derstood, resulted from the laudable forbearance of Mem bers in the giving of orders, and the al-tinener observed at the gallery door. As another precaution against cho lera, the passages, lobbies, &e. were most liberally sprinkled with chloride of lime preparations. Similar precautions, as far as they are practicable, will be taken every night. We hope that the application for an inquiry into the conduct of the Bristol Magistrates will b..' granted. Why should the conduct of the military authorities be so strictly investigated, and the acknowledged remissness of the civil power be entirely overlooked ? Times. The Irish Tithe Committee met yesterday, and agreed upon their report. We are anxious to have it made public; but we believe we can state, meanwhile, that the abolition of tithes is recommend , d, and the ne cessity pointed out of an entire change in the mode of pay ing, the clergy of Ireland. A land-tax, we have heard, is to be introduced, pail directly by the landlord, not by the cultivator. Earl GREY was under the gallery on.Tue' day night when Lord ALTHORP made the explanation re specting the Ministerial intention with respect to tithes,— Times. It is not, we have reason to believe, the in tention of the Government to create any Peers until the Reform Bill has not only passed the House of Commons, but also gone into a Committee in the Lords. The crea tion, however, will take place as soon as it may become necess.iry, and we trust, therefore, that the public mind will feel satisfied that the I3ill shall, and must, pass. The KING has been sorely tempted, and harassed ; but he is every inch a King—he has never forfeited his pledges, either given or implied, to his Ministers, and when the necessity for creating the Peers shall have become apparent, the undoubted prerogative which he enjoys, as a part of the Constitution, will be exerted to the extent required for the salvation of that Constitution, and the maintenance of the public peace. —Morning Advertiser. Wall subjects most pressing at this moment in the metropolis is that of vagrancy. It is quite clear that little has been done to rid the streets of the nu merous herds of beggars which frequent them ;—equally clear is it that each mendicant is a walking receptacle of disease, ready to communicate it wherever he goes. We do not at all wish, generally speaking, to blend misfortune with crime. It is the duty of those in authority to draw the distinction. What we contend is that the public have a right to he protected, and must be protected, from the danger to which they are now exposed. In Munich the late Count RUMFORD caused all the vagrants to be apprehended in one day. Here it might be more difficult to effect so summary a process; but something of the same kind might be done. As the metropolis, too, is known to be the focus of mendicity, towards which want and mis fortune repair from all parts of the kingdom, m e ans, we should think, might be taken to stop the increase of the evil by arresting them on their road, and sending them, not to workhouses and prisons, but to lazarets to be pro vided in airy situations, at a sufficient distance from the immediate scene of danger.—]Morning Herald. It appears from Parliamentary returns that the poor -rates collected in England and Wales in 1831, was 8,111,1221., being a❑ increase of eight per cent. on the preceding year. At the same time it may be sifely stated that not one-half of this sum was applied to the egitimare objects of the poor laws. A detachment of the 87th Regiment, or !Loyal Irish Fusileers, under the command of Lord ARTHUR CMCIIESTEA, arrived at Falmouth from Plymouth in his Majesty's brig Leveret, on Saturday last, to relieve the de• tnchment of the 22d, under the command of Captain KEPPOCK. The 22d embarked in the Leveret to join the depot at Plymouth. It is understood that Admiral Lord GAM, BIER will succeed the late venerable Admiral PEERS 'WIL LIAMS FREEMAN, as Admiral of the Fleet, which high professional distinction was conferred on him by his pre sent MAJESTY, on the 28th June, ISSO, only one day sub sequent to the accession of the SOVEREIGN. Admiral FREEM AN had attained the advanced age of ninety at the period of his appointment, and at his dissolution, which took place a few days back, at his seat in Buckinghamshire, Was probably the most aged flag officer of the Royal Navy. An anecdote is in circulation in the naval circles, that the KING, who, it will be recollected, was the predecessor of Admiral FREEM AN in the office of Admiral of the Fleet, }Lavin," several months ago sent a splendid baton to tile venerable officer, he expressed considerable surprise on being invest e d with a distinction which ,had heretofore only been conferred on Field Marshals.

Mr. STRUTT presented a petition from Derby against the G...oeral Registration Bill : also two petitions from owners Of mills worked by water, and lace-manufacturers, against certain parts of the Bill for regulating the work ing hours of children. Mr. O'CONNELL brought in a Bill for regulating the srvice.of Writs issuing rorri the superior Courts in Ire land.—Read a first time, and ordered to b.: real a second time this dayse'onight. Mr. H. GRATTAN presented a petition from the guild of weavers in Galway, complaining of being excluded from tit it freedom by the bye-laws of the Corporation. ANATOMY BILL. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from Blackburn against the Dead Kaly Bill, as the petitioners railed it. Mr. O'CONNELL had heen asked to support the prayer o this petition, but found that the petitioners were nitrio a great mistake us to the clauses of the Bill, there being none to authorize the governors or keepers of workhouse-, in , spitals, or infirmaries to dispose of unclaimed bodies. Mr. FIUME had also been asked to support this petition, and had written to the petitioners to disabuse them of t , delusion under which they !aboured with regard to the Bi!1 Alter a few words front Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. Hum-, the petition was ordered to lie.on the table and be printed.. Mr. HUNT also presented a petition from the Nation. Union of Winchester against taxes on newspapers. MILITIA. Mr. HUNT presented another petition from a cabinet maker named Lovat. He hid been drawn for the Middles. x Militia, and not having any share in the making of t'ie laws, be refused to serve. Upon this his goods, to the value of 401., were seized and sold to defray a fine of 151. Mr. HUME strongly protested against the injustice of the militis laws, and trusted that some alteration would speedily be introduced. The petition was then ordered to be printed. Captain YORKE presented a petition from the county of Westmoreland against the Registration Bill. REFORM BILL. Captain YORKE rose to present a petition of high im portance from the county of Cambridge, against the Reform Bill. It hid the signatures of 1;400 landowners and occupiers of the highest respectability. The petitioner , particularly objected .to the 101. franchise, and to time metropolitan district representatives. He could say that great numbers of reforming landlords were opposed to these parts of the Bill, as tending to render Members of Pat lia tnent mere delegates. Mr. ADEANE said, his Hon. and Gallant Friend bad not represented this as a petition cooling from the county of Cambridge, but tnerely as the petition of individuals The Hon. anti Galant Officer seemed to say, that many freeholders refused to sign a petition to this House, looking upon it at present as an assembly of pledged delegates. That, however, would have no reference to him (Mr. Adeane), for if he were offired a seat as a delegate, he would spurn it with scorn. He would, however, always act according to the principles which had hitherto guided his public conduct. He was not aware of any clomp whatever in the opinions of the county of Cambridge Oh the subject of Reform. They were as anxious as ever to see nomination extinguished,—to see the franchise fahly distributed, and to see a large addition made to the con stituency of the country. These were the opinions of the county, and he would refer to the Hon. and Gallant Officer's own electi,n as a proof of this fact, and of the general sentiments of the county upon Parliamentary Re f,rm.—(Hear, hear.) Captain YORKE, on moving that the petiton b. printed, said that the Hon. Member's independence of latt was pleasing to him : but before the election he had read the Reform Bill, and expressed himself against it. The Hon. Member had then been summoned down to answer ~for himself, and wiis desired by the people of Cambridge ti read the Bill. He had done so, and said that he liked somewhat better. He was then-desired to read it a seconi time, when he liked it still more than at first. A third time he was ordered to read it, and then he declared him self for the Bill and the whole Bill. As to himself, tht. stand he made, having gone down only ten days before the election, with a previous canvass of three months against him, in favour of a gentleman of known liberal principles, showed that if he had had more time he weuld have had a good chance of success. Mr. ADEANE having been thus personally alluded to claimed to say one word. In the first place, he must say that the Hon. and Gallant Officer had made a statement respecting him which was altogether incorrect; but as the Hon. and Gallant Officer wits abroad at the period al luded to, upon those who had misrepresented the facts must the blame of this incorrectness rest. With respect to his (Mr. Adeane's) having been summoned down to Cam bridge, the fact was, that a county meeting was to be held, and he did what lie should ever do so long as be was the county representative,—he gave his attendance there. There were many opinions as to his conduct in Parlia ment on account of something he had said upon a pe. tition. He went to the meeting and asked what charge there was against him, and he then told the assembled county that he was not to be dictated to,—that he should ever act consistently with his public principles ; but that if they wished to subject him to dictation, they must find some ether representative.—(Hear, hear.) It was then proposed that he (Mr. Adeane) should not be joined with his Noble Colleague (Lord F. Osborne) in presenting the petition, and that prop,,sition was rejected. When that point was settled, he then came forward, and did ray that the more he looked at the Reform Biil the better pleased he was with it. He was sorry to be obliged to intrude personal matter upon the time of the House, but having been forced into the subject he could not avoid it. The petition was then ordered to be printed. A conversation took place between the SPEAKER, Lord KLTHORP, Alderman THOMPSON, and several other Mem bers, as to the expediency of taking petitions after half-past five o'clock—the period fixed for commencing the public business. Several of the Members complained, that trough their names had been down on the list for some days, they had yet had no opportunity of presenting the petitions in trusted to them, and should nut, unless more time were afforded for the purpose of petitions, or a particular day in the week devoted to that purpose. Lord ALTHORP admitted the hardship of the griev ance complained of, but under the present state of the public business saw not well how it couid he remedied. It could not be expected that a measure of such paramount and national importance as the Reform Bill could be delayed, so as to afford Hon. Members an opportunity of making long speeches—a thing of very modern growth —on the presentation of petitions. If the object were merely to present the petition, Hon. Members had an opportunity every night of doing so after the public business was dis posed of, and the orders of the day would testify their fide lity to their constituents. No practical good whatever, so far as the discussion on petitions was concerned, was effected by appropriating Saturday to their presentation. Alderman THOMPSON had had a petition of great im portance to the soap trade in his hands for the last three weeks, but could not succeed in presenting it, so as to oc casion a discussion on its merits. He therefore felt himself compelled to make the presentation the subject of a parti cular notice of motion, and accordingly gave notice, that on Tuesday, the 28th of February, he should present the paition. CHOLERA MORBUS. On the motion of Lord ALTHOKP, the House went into Committee on the Bill for increasing the power of the Privy Council to employ means for the prevention of th, cholera morbus. The NOBLE LORD stated, in answer to a question of Sir W. Rae, that the parochial and county rates would be sf. worded, with respect to Scotland, as to harmonize with the parochial rate machinery of that country. He was also willing, in compliance with the suggestion of the Right Hon. Baronet opposite, to omit that part of the clause which would throw the ultimate expense upon the county rates ; and power should be granted to the Privy Council to reimburse parishes that were greatly distressed, when they had been at an expenditure for the preservation of the public health which they miuht be unable to afford. Sir R. PEEL thought that the Privy Council should have a discretionary power to do the same by all parishes, and not merely have the reimbursement limited to extreme cases of distress. Air. WARBURTON urged the Policy of spending liberally at the outset, as likely to be the most .‘,t.: 7 course in the end, even on principles of rat i ona l econottivo. Mr. C. FERGUSSON thought that G ove rnme4Vt7 el k) , e st should at once advance loans of money to suc h par i s h es as i44;431 stood in need of pecuniary assistance. Sasa, 7 -- seitt,-, Sir H. HARDINGE complained that no step had yr*: - / been taken to make adequate precautionary arrangerneoti7 fur the protection of the married men of each battalion of the Guards. He was of opinion that, under existing cir cumstances, they should be presented with an additional allowance, for the purpose of enabling them to provir'e preventive measures individually in their own personal self-defence. Sir J. GRAHAM replied, that Government had it in contemplation to supply the married men with a sum of money for the purpose alluded to by the Right lion. Gentleman, and it was furl! er intended to put one list aliOn, at present at nut-quarters, in some public building in th e metropolis where they could he suitably accommodated. Colonel DAVIES recommended that the married men and their families should be promptly removed from un wtolesoine quarters to some station of security. Mr. HUNT concurred with what had fallen from the Hen. Member for Kirkcudbright. Sir R. PEEL remarked that the extraordinary powers with which the Privy Council were invested would, of course, apply to the Guards in common with the re mainder of the community. Sir J. MALCOLM said trollied unhappily seen mach of the dreadful malady (tallest cholera morbus. He had com oianded many thousand men in provinces whied were never entirely free from that fatal pestilence. He bad ,:ten and often traversed these provinces in the perform ance of his public duties, and had invariably found the cholera to be locally infections.—(Psear, hear.) Sucts corps as had the raisfortrine to pass the infected lines, in • vitably lost forty or fifty men by the disease. while not one individual in any of the other corps had suffered from it. He had uniformly observed that the assembling so- . ;ether of crowds of people materially contributed to its iiroe caress. and predisposed tie constitution to receive it. His policy, therefore, had been, as much as possible, to prevent tidies of people from corning together, and interdicted all f sirs and such gatherings as were found, ley experience, to conduce to its extension. The diseas e now amoeeat: as, lie believed, did not correspond in every particular point with the cholera of the East, but it was to be feared that it possessed but too many features in common with th ,t pestilence. The House at all events had not been want ing to its duty ; he, as well as every either Member of it, would put confidence in Gevernmente end support then) in the exercise of their extraordinary powers in th;s guar; cause of suffering humanity.—(Hear bear.) The less the public mind was alarmed the better—(Heir, hear). —argil certainly the tiraid ought to remember that it was fully proved by official documents that this formidable malady was not so fatal in its general operation as many other d•seases to which every one was liable. " His plan in the East had been to suppress the Newspapers and cushion the mlletiris—(Much laughter, and cries of " Oh, oh !") ,nil prohibit every soldier from mentioning the very inner, if cholera, however inclined to make it a topic of conver sation : he would have the physicians conceal most of the tsses—(" Oh, oh !)—hut that system, he apprehended, • would not be practicable here.—(Laughter.) Wherever he cholera made its appearance, all other complaiots were ascribed to it, and thus it became MO NI terrible in name, than it really proved to be in effect.—( Hear, hear.) Colonel WOOD observed, that the Guards were lodgcf to rooms which were a disgrace 'o the country. A hun bed of these excellent men slept in one room, which had served for a hayloft to the old grenadiers, and lie really aelieved that a candle would not remain lighted in the ',tore of the room, so decomposed was the atmosphere. The numbers ought certainly to be diminished, sr the •holera would be sure to att olle the whole body as one man. Colonel EVANS maintained that the disease was not highly infectious, and counselled Government against put ing any restrictions upon commerce. • An Hoer. Mimi:rex stated that the public ought not to te alarmed, as this wis no new disease. He had had en stack of cholera last autumn and had suffered prodigiously. It had nearly destroyed him, and several of his friends in formed him, that the operation of the cholera in their cases ,ad been pretty nearly the same. Sir W. RAE regretted that the present Bill had not seen brought in sooner for the sake of Scotland, which lad been suffering under this malady for several weeks. The LORD ADVOCATE replied, that all the Aleut 'era of the Council were most anxious to apply a remc iy is early as possible, and he could see no means of raising pecuniary ri lief except by compulsory parochial assess nents, to which it was supposed there would be so much apposition. Mr. C. FERGUSSON would rather consent oven to compulsory assessment, than leave it doubtful whether Scotland would be in possession of sufficient available sub stantial means for repelling the common enemy. Lord ALTHORP said it would be of no use to give the .llagistrates in Scotland authority to enforce the orders of the Privy Council, without also giving them power to raise the necessary funds. He thought the douse had better defer legislating with regard to Scotland, until -the Bill applying to that country, and which he believed was already prepared, should be introduced. The LORD ADVOCATE said if he obtained leave from the House he would introduce the Bill alluded to by the Noble Lord to-night. Mr. WARBURTON considered that it would be highly mischievous to act upon the recommendation made by an Hon. Member, to suppress all information on the subject :if cholera. Mr. HUME thought it expedient to caution the public against assembling in large numbers in close rooms. Sir W. RAE said no delay ought to take place in giving additional powers to Magistrates in Scotland, for at pre sent there were many nuisances which they had no autho rity to remove. Several clauses of the Bill were then agreed to, after the adoption of some verbal amendments. Mr. HUNT alluded to the crowded condition of the , poor-house in the district of Spitalfields, and asked whe ther it was the intention of Government to make any ex imination into the general state of poor-hous•=s? Lord ALTHORP replied in the affirmative. Mr. WARBURTON asked whether it was intended to adopt any other mode of disinfecting places than the ineffectual method of fumigation with the steam of vinegar? Dr. Henry, of Manchester, had, by actual ex periment, proved that by subjecting infected substances to a heat of 200 degrees, or less, the infectious matter of the scarlet fever and of the typhus could be destroyed ; and he wished to know whether it was in contemplation to adept this plan? Mr. P. THOMSON said that Dr. Henry's experiment had been referred to the consideration of the Board of Health, and the parties who appeared on his behalf were told that if he were willing to construct an apparatus, and satisfy the Board of Health of the nature of his dis- 1 covery, every attention would be paid to it. The parties, however, made some dlficulty about going to the expense of W. or 41. for the construction of the apparatus; mid lie did not think it right to recommend the Board of Health to make any advance of the money; because, if money was to be advanced to every person who alledged that he had made a discovery, there would he no end of applications. Mr. HUME v thought Ganocvee ro nf t i h mn a eo t tni t t e h y‘, e vi a ß ns r t ra hl r ii skd likely y f s t H atno e c a el be l e e o pt, : : g t h e, t ,r.ea t d o s , h i u a i v t e e made ea nthat with numerous applications; but tte discovery which had been alluded to had beers already ascertained to be effectual by experiments ; and such being the case, he thought that C.overnment ought not to have refused an advance of 31. or 41., while they were giving away sinecure offiees worth from 5 to 10 guineas a day. Lord ALTHORP was perfectly aware that Dr. Henry was a man of great scientific attainments; but the Board of Health could not advance money to him, and refuse to do so to another person, who might perhaps have made a discovery most beneficial to the community, because he happened to be unknown. Mr. WARBURTON thought that the case of Dr. Henry differed from other cases. In this instance the experiment had already been made, and Dr. Henry had shown that his method of disinfecting- places was success ful. All Dr. Henry wanted was, an apparatus to enable his moic of treatment to be adopted. Mr. BRISCOE said that every perish ought to be pro vided with apparatus of this description. The clauses were then agreed to. Mr. BRISCOE moved the insertion of certain words in the preamble to declare that the cholera was an itiflectisn of Divine Providence. Lord ALTHORP said that he would not oppose the motion now it was made, but he thought it would have been better that it had not been made. Mr HUME said that be would oppose the motion. Why should they say that the cholera was a Divine inflic tion ? They might as well declare that it was a Divine blessing.—(Hear.) Ile thought lion. Members ought to be satisfied now that a fast was appointed.
