PROGRESS OF CHOLERA IN LONDON.— We have the satisfaction to state, that up to Thursday the number of deaths from cholera had undergone a very harked diminution, not exceeding one-hall what they Wsr e a fortnight ago. This is apparently dependent upon the cases having assumed a somewhat milder aspeet, as t heir number (though also on the decline) has not dimi °Wird in the same proportion.

The plaintiff was the author and composer of these works, and the defendant was his printer. The works had been left in the defendant's hands, on the understanding that he was to reimburse himself the debt due to him from the plaintiff by selling as many copies as he could. The plaintiff had applied for an account, and was unable to procure it, and he therefore ap plied to the Court to restrain the defendant from selling any more. Mr. BACON opposed the motion. The VICE-CHANCELLOR refused the injunction, on the ground that until the accounts were taken, it did not appear the plaintiff was entitled to the property. SUMMER ASSIZES. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—NoRnucir, AUGUST 4. Thomas Howlett was indicted for the wilful mur der of his wife, by throwing a poker at her, which penetrated her left side, of which she died. On the sth of June last, about seven o'clock in the evening, the prisoner, who is a blacksmith, and keeps a public-house, was in the kitchen with his wife and two or three other persons. There had been some occurrence on the previous evening with respect to some counterfeit money which one of them had taken ; and, on the evening in question, the prisoner said to one of the witnesses, " Did you ever know such a commence, as for one man to give another bad money, then to flog him, and after wards get a warrant against him ?" The deceased answered that she considered one as bad as the other; to which the prisoner, addressing her, re plied, " You've been chafing me all day about this, and, you, if you don't hold your tongue I'll knock you down." The wife answered, " Before you can do that, you must cut my tongue out."— Upon this the prisoner struck her, and carried her in his arms out of doors. She instantly returned by an other door, some scuffle ensued, and she was again put out. In the course of this scuffle the prisoner struck his wife again, and she took up a mug, with which she attempted to hit him, but he wrested it out of her hand. She returned into the kitchen again, and said to her husband, " You b—y cowardly rascal, put me out again, do." This she said in a consi derable passion, and in a very provoking manner. The prisoner instantly went to the fire, took the poker out of the grate, and threw it with great force at his wife; it was red hot. The poker entered her left side, and she was borne into the adjoining room by one of the witnesses. The prisoner fol lowed them, took his wife into his arms, and endea voured to stanch the blood which was flowing from the wound. He was greatly affected, and in the language of the witness" kissed her twenty times, and wept very bitterly." The poor woman died in about five hours, during which time the prisoner attended her most assiduously. When she was dying, she took his hand and said she most freely forgave him. Afterwards, hearing him " take on," she repeated her forgiveness, said " he was the best of fathers, and the most affectionate of husbands, and that she had brought the injury upon herself by her provok ing manner." The character which the dying woman thus gave him was confirmed by a multitude of witnesses, in cluding the curate of the parish. He and his wife lived on the happiest terms with their family of seven children, until this fatal occurrence. He was greatly affected by the favourable manner in which the witnesses spoke of him in the character of father and husband, and was in tears during the whole of the trial. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of Man slaughter. The Learned JUDGE postponed the sentence, in order to see whether, consistently with public safety, lie could pass any less judgment than that of trans portation. MIDLAND CIRCUIT, DERBY, Aucwsr 3. Mr. Justice PARKE, on taking his seat on the bench this morning, stated that his Learned Brother Vaughan had passed a bad night, but was then better. His medical attendants, however, had pro nounced him unequal to the fatigue of resuming his judicial duties, and consequently he (Mr. Justice Parke) must try the niurdet case in this Court, after which he would proceed with the Common Jury cases; on to-morrow he would try three of the Spe cial Jury causes, and the other two must be made remanets. Nathan Hutton, - Hildebrand, and twelve other defendants, apparently villagers, were indicted for a riot alleged to have been committed at New mills, in the parish of Glossop, in this county, and also for a conspiracy to pi event the Rev. Mr. Howe, vicar of the said parish, from receiving his Easter dues and oblations. In May last hand-bills were posted up in the parish denouncing the exaction of Easter dues as illegal, and exciting the parishioners to resist payment of them. The defendant Hulton boasted that he had caused these hand-bills to be posted, although he could neither read nor write. Some time afterwards, when Mr. Howe's collectors attempted to collect the dues, they were received with shouting, derision, and defiance by a great mob. They procured the assistance of constables, but both they and the con stables were surrounded by the mob, some stones and dirt were thrown at them, and they were threatened with worse treatment. They secured Hulton and another defendant, and took them be fore the Magistrates, when, however, they did not bring against them the charge now laid at their door. In their evidence to-day the witnesses failed to bring home the accusation satisfactorily to any of the prisoners, except Hulton, who appeared to have been the ringleader. He was convicted and sentenced to s ix months' imprisonment. The other thirteen defendants were Acquitted. AUGUST 4. MUNDY, ESQ., V. THE INHABITANTS OF MORLESTON. This was an action brought by Mr. Mundy, for merly Member of Parliament for this county, against the hundred of Morleston, to recover compensation for the injury done to his house at Marketon by the rioters in October last. On the arrival of the mail at Dell)); on the Sth of October last, announcing the rejection of the Reform BM in the House of Lords, a riotous mob assembled in the streets, and proceeded to break the windows of various persons whose politics were obnoxious to them. At about 12 o'clock at night they went out to Mr. Mundy's house, and com menced an attack on the doors and windows. Mr. Mundy, his son, Mr. William Mundy, and his ne phew, Captain Mundy, were in the house at the tiwe, together with nine male servants, besides the females of the family. Upon the approach of the mob, who were singing and making a great noise, the male portion of the family assembled in the housekeeper's room, when fire-arms were put into their hands, and they were then stationed at the different points which the mob was attacking. A bell having been rung, a number of men from the village of Marketon came up, armed with pitchforks and other weapons, and were let into the house at the rear, on which the rioters called out to each other that the Marketon boys had come;" and, after observing them and the servants inside the plaintiff 's windows with fire-urns, they went away, THE KING V. TWORT AND ANOTHER. This was an indictment preferred by order of the Attorney-General against the two defendants, T wort and Ward, which charged them with con spiring to bring the Christian religion and its minis ters into contempt and odium, both by words and by the publication of blasphemous libels; and also to bring the King's proclamation for a general fast into contempt. The indictment further charged them with assaulting the Rev. Mr. Deane, the incum bent of a living in the neighbourhood of this town. The defendants, it appeared, arrived here in March last, and held themselves out as being inspired with a divine mission. Ward, who is an offensive-looking person, with a squint in his eye, called himself Zion, and said he was the Saviour. Twort called him self Shiloh. Not content with preaching the most absurd doctrines, they circulated hand-billsand penny publications, filled with the most horrible and dis gusting blasphemy, denying the birth or existence of our Redeemer, stigmatizing all the mysteries of the Christian faith as a tissue of delusion and falsehood, fabricated by priestcraft, and inveighing, partly in coarse vulgar prose, and partly in doggrel rhyme, against the bishops and clergy of the Established Church, as so many wolves in sheep's clothing,whose hearts were as black as their coats. They turned the proclamation for a generalfast into gross ridicule,and in formed the poor that it was owinp.:to the clergy that they had already fasted too long. On being prevented by the town authorities from holding forth their abominations in the assembly•rooms, they collected a mob outside in the street, and caused a disturbance, but promised o get a licence from Lichfield in a day or two, when they would (as one of the witnesses said) be able to " perform" in spite of the Mayor. They caused their placards to be posted about the country, ex citing the people to discontent with their present condition, and particularly their religion and its ministers ; arid upon Mr. Deane, a respectable clergyman, who was passing along the street, refusing to take a tract which Twort offered him, the latter abused him in the most offensive and scurrilous terms, and persisted in so doing until Mr. Deane affected to treat him as a maniac, saying " Poor fellow, poor fellow," when he left him in a great rage. Upon subsequently observing Mr. Deane tear ing down one of the offensive placards from the window-shutter of a public-house, he rushed at him and assaulted him with his umbrella. The Jury deliberated for a moment or two, and then pronounced both defendants Guilty of the prin • cipal charge of conspiracy, and Twort of the assault upon Mr. Deane also. Mr. Justice PARKE, in passing sentence on the de fendants, reprobated in the strongest terms the cruelty with which they had endeavoured to de prive the pool' and the ignorant of the sweetest solace they possessed in affliction—the solace of the Christian Religion. His Lardship alluded to those calamities which he himself had experienced in the course of a long life, both before and since his elevation to the Bench, against which he had been enabled to bear up by the soothing hopes held out to him by our divine religion.—(llis Lordship was here power fully affected, and twice shed tears.) After some further observations of an admonitory character, the Learned Judge sentenced the defendants to be imprisoned in the gaol of this county for the pe riod of 18 calendar months. With this case, which lasted to a late hour this evening, terminated these assizes. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—EXETER, Auatrsr 3. LIBEL: BLAKE V. PILFOLD. Mr. FOLLETT, with whom was Mr. BUTT, stated :hat this was an action for libel, the defendant hay ng written a letter to the Post-office complaining of the conduct of the plaintiff, in consequence of which he bad been dismissed from his situation of Guard to the London and Devonport mail ; and the Post-office had refused to attend to any applica. Lions to reinstate him until he had proved in a court of justice that the charge made against him was untrue. The defendant was an officer in his Ma jesty's navy. Thomas Warder Archer proved the letter in ques tion to be in the handwriting of Captain Pilfold. Cross-examined.---Defendant is on half-pay, being in a state of imbecility. He is a Knight Companion of the Bath. The letter was then read. It stated, that on the 2d day of May Mrs. Pilfold being inside the Bath and Devonport mail, the guard of that mail put the plaintiff inside, who was in a high state of drunken. ness, and who soon became painfully disgusting, as the dose he had taken created nausea, which with dial culty he suppressed, and which caused his unhappy companion to move as far from him as possible. This gave the fellow immediate offence, and he then commenced a torrent of abuse, oaths, and execrations too gross for the worst description of female to re peat, wanting to know from what rat-hole she came, and frequently using the epithet "bitch," and such like language. Charles Johnson, superintendent of the mail de partment.—The plaintiff was appointed to the situ. ation as a mail guard on the 20th of January, 1824 : dismissed in May 1830. The salary of a mail guard is 10s. Gd. a-week and his uniform. The passen gers are the principal means of their support. Cress-examined—An inquiry was instituted and made by the inspector previously to his dismissal. Plaintiff's attorney made several applications to the Post-office for an inspection of the letter, but they were always refused. John Carder, the coachman of the mail on the night in question.—l took Blake up at half-past 6 on the evening of the 2d of May. He sat on the box. He was perfectly sober, but in bad health. After we had got 38 miles from Exeter, plaintiff was chilly and got inside. He was then perfectly sober. He had not been in the coach five minutes when the coach stopped at the bottom of a hill. The lady said, " Coachman, have you any room ?" I replied " Yes." She said she could not go further inside. Make then got out ; he had a silk hand kerchief tied round his head. He said to the guard, " The lady says I have insulted her; I wish you would be kind enough to ask her what I have in sulted her in." Walters asked her what it was. She said, " Shut the door—shut the door" The dour was shut, and plaintiff resumed his seat on the box. Plaintiff was perfectly sober when we arrived at Plymouth. Cross-examined—The plaintiff did not complain of sickness. He did not smoke on the road. I did not see that the lady was agitated. She said he was offensive to her. I said, " Blake, come out." He came out instantly, without saying one word. Did not hear the words " rat-hole" mentioned. Plaintiff had a glass of negus at Chudleigh, and I had a glass of gin and peppermint at Newton. Did riot see him drink any more on the road. Thomas Walters, guard to the mail on the night in question, confirmed the evidence of Carder. Cross -examined—I was discharged on this affair, hut have been reinstated. I went on board the St. Joseph twice, and saw Captain and Mrs. Pilford. I said, I had come to beg her pardon, and I went on my knees to her. She said she hoped the little man would not be hurt. I did not say that I had no idea Blake was so drunk, or I would not have put EDINBUP We had a small the sales were still v Wheat.

THE NEW ST. DUNSTAN'S CHURCH.— The wall of the old church, which served for a screen while the new one was buiidine, is now almost wholly re moved. The stat ue of Queen ELIZABETH, which formerly adorned Ludgate, but which, for more than 70 years, has fronted Fleet-street, from the eastern wall of the late church, has been taken down, in order to be placed within the present edifice, which now bursts on the eye in all its beauty, a really noble pile. We are sorry to add that the architect, Mr. SHAW, just at the moment he was exulting in the completio n of his arduous task, and in the prospect of professional celebrity, was seized with an attack of apo plexy, which called him hence, making the new church his monument. DREADFUL DEATH BY BURNING.—An inquest was on Saturday held at St. Bartholomew's Hos pital, before Mr. PAY NE, on the body of JANE AMELIA LLOYD, aged 22, who was burnt to death in her bed. It a ppeared from the evidence that the unfortunate young woman, who resided at No. 11, Hosier-lane, Smithfield, retired to bed much fatigued, leaving a lighted candle on a chair by the bed-side, About midnight the inmates of the house were alarmed by smoke issuing from the bed-room of the deceased, and on breaking open the door to ascertain the cause, they found her in bed, completely enveloped in flames. The fire Was with difficulty extinguished, and the half-roasted sufferer was then promptly conveyed to the Hospital, where she died in great pain. Verdict, " Acci dental Death." The following is the measure brought in by the Lord Chancellor on Thursday : " A Bill, entitled ' An Act to abolish certain Sinecure Offices connected with the Court of Chancery.' Whereas it is expedient that the offices hereinafter mentioned should he abolished as soon as provision can be made for the due performance of the duties thereunto belonging : Be it enacted by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that the offices of Keeper or Clerk of his Majesty's Hanaper, the Patentee of the Subpcena-office, the Registrar of Affida vits, the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, the Clerk of the Patents, the Clerk of the Custodies of Lunatics and Idio's, and the Patentee for the execution of the Laws and Statutes concerning Bankrupts, shall utterly cease and de termine from and after the 15th dayof April next ensuing. "Provided nevertheless, and it is hereby further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that nothing in this Act con tained shall be construed to determine any of the aforesaid offices now holden by any person whoever appointed thereto on or before the Ist day of June last, until the decease of such person." him inside. She said she did not think the man meant any harm. I never said to Mr. Lyne that Blake was drunk. I said that when I came before my Lord Judge, I would say we were all sober. He said, I must say we had had a little, we were half seas oaer. I replied " I'll be d—d if I do." I had nothing at Newton, nor was I inside the house there. Re-examined—l thought Lyne was wire-drawing me, and so I cut. I flattered myself the gentleman who was with Lyne was Mr. Pilfold's- attorney, so I walked off. I have been a mail-guard 23 years. Thomas Coucher, the waiter, and Thomas Endle, the porter, at the King's Arms, Plymouth, stated that plaintiff was sober that night. William llewson, formerly mail-guard to Salis bury—The value of such a place is from 1601. to 1801. per annum. John Clench—l keep the New London Inn, at Exeter. I have refused to employ Blake in coase quenee of this affair. Maria Besley—My father keeps the inn at New ton Bushel. On 2d May Blake came to the bar of the inn. I don't consider he was sober. His man ners were different to what I had before seen them. They were any thing but respectful. He spoke in a more familiar manner than guards usually do. Richard Morris—l keep the King's Arms at Plymouth. On the arrival of the mail on the 2d of May, Blake came to me, and said there was a lady in the coach who said he had insulted her, and he begged I would go and speak to her. I followed him out; he opened the door, and said here's Mr. Morris, if you have any complaint to make against me. It was said in a dignified manner, such as I should not have adopted. She said, " Shut the door." She appeared very much agitated. My impression was that he had been drinking. Cornelius Tripe, surgeon—Was called to attend Mrs. Pilfold. She laboured under great excitement and delirium for some days. Edward Lyne 'Wal ters told me that he had no idea the state Blake was in, or he would not have put him in the coach. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. The case excited great interest, and did not close till 12 o'clock at night. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING LAST WEEK. Wheat. 1 Barley, 1— Per Quarter.

WINDSOR, AUGUST 3. Yesterday their MAJESTIES, attended by their suite, rode several hours in the vicinity of Virginia Water, and returned to the Castle in time to avoid the tremendous thunder storm which took place here at five o'clock. The following personages arrived at the Castle on Wed nesday, and are staying on a v i s it t o th e i r M AJESTIES : Lord and Lady F. FITZCLAREN CE , Lord and Lady DEN.. SIGH, and Lord and Lady FALKLAND. Lady CLINTON continues her visit, and his Lordship is expected to join the Royal party to-day. This afternoon the phaetons and saddle-horses are ordered for the usual hour, when their MAJESTIES and suite will take their accustomed airing. Preparations are already commenced for the grand fete to be given in St. George's Hall on Monday week in honour of her MAJESTY'S birth-day. On the 10th instant the flank companies of the house hold troops are expected to arrive on their encampment in the Great Park. The artillery are also expected on the same day, and will take up their quarters at Cumberland Lodge. Much company is expected to arrive at the Castle in the course of the ensuing week ; and Windsor, ao doubt, will be the scene of much bustle and gaiety. FEMALE FASHIONS. (From the Court Magazine for August.) WALKING DRESSES. They are made of chaly, the grounds of vapeur 6crue, or with stripes, and a bouquets of mixed colours ; the bodies are made with crossed draperies, and the backs quite plain; the sleeves are still very MI at the top, and tight from the elbow to the wrist. Printed muslin dresses are also worn, of variegated de signs; small patterns are generally more admired, and have the preference. Bonnets are still close at the cars; they arc made of pink, white, mauve, choux, or straw-coloured watered silks, and trimmed with small bows of gauze ribbon, with large flowers called aloes, neola, or cactus. PELISSES AND CARRIAGE DRESSES. Pelisses are made of watered silks of different shades ; mostly terre d'Egypte, acanthe, and emerald green. Some are worn of embroidered muslin, lined with light gros de Naples, and trimmed with a ruche of net in front, and a large cape, richly worked. Carriage dresses are made of the gazes sultannes of different colours, and lined with gros de Naples; richly em broidered net pelerines are worn with these dresses. I'aille de Riz, or crape hats, rather close at the ears, with a long plume, frirnatees colour, to correspond with the dress of pelisse. Falls of Chantilly blonde are also much in fashion. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Friday a Court was held. Alderman Noon sat as locum tenens for the Lord Mayor. BURIAL OF PERSONS CARRIED OFF' BY CIIOLERA MORBUS Mr. C. PEARSON said, that the report recommended the purchase of a piece of ground for the interment of the dead, upon a much larger scale than would be necessary for the burial of persons who might die of the cholera or other diseases of a communicable character, as he hoped to see the day when the unseemly practice of burying the dead under the churches of the metropolis, and in the con fined church-yards of the City, would be entirely abolished. —(Hear, hear.) In some parishes the people had declared that, if the remains of persons dying of the cholera or other malignant diseases were interred under the churches, they, with their families, would abstain from attending them.—(Hear.) The circumstances which sometimes at tended the clearing out of those horrible receptacles of corrup tion and putrefaction were of the most disgusting character. It was absolutely necessary that an end should be put to such disgusting and dangerous practices, and that could only be done by providing capacious places of sepulture in the suburbs of the city.—(Hear, hear.) He was happy to say that he bad received from the Lords of the Council, and from the Bishop of London, the most gratifying assist ance and encouragement in prosecuting the design of the committee.—(Hear, hear.) The object of the committee was, in the first instance, to appropriate the cemetery to the interment of all persons who might fall victims to the cholera within the ci►y ; though he was very happy to have it in his power to state that the disease was rapidly on the decline—(Hear)—and he sincerely hoped that for that pur pose it would be but little needed. The Board of Hea 7 th had hitherto been able to make arrangements for the inter ment of a great portion of those who had fallen victims to the prevailing epidemic in a place of sepulture without the city; it was, however, done in a manner unworthy of a Corporation possessing such resources as the City of Lon don,—a portion of whose funds would be manifestly well employed in an undertaking of such great public benefit. —(Hear, hear, hear.) The Board proposed the se lection of a piece of ground of considerable extent, ati a matter of economy as well as propriety. As the utility of such a place for the interment of the cholera dead would depend upon the universality of its adoption, the Board recommended the consecration of a portion of the ground, for the reception of the remains of those who in life had been attached to the Established Church, while the unconsecrated part of the ground would be devoted to the interment of Dissenters, according to the rites of their respective Churches.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Woon seconded the proposition. Mr. DIXON thought the Court ought to confine its ope rations to the present necessity, particularly as it was sup posed the cholera morbus had nearly disappeared from the city of London. Alderman WArrnmAN said much exaggeration had taken place with respect to the disease, and regretted that tradespeople had suffered heavily in consequence of the ge neral apprehension. After some observations from other members the motion was agreed to. In the eastern part of Essex the cutting of wheat, in the early part of the week, became general. The crops of wheat, barley, and oats, are very heavy. A melon of the following gigantic proportions was cut a few days since by Mr. FORBES, in the garden of the Earl of Powrs, at Walcot, Salop; weight 35/.bs. ; circumference, 39 inches ; length 21 inches and a half. It may be known to many of our readers that a Dinner had been advertised to take place on Thursday last, for the purpose of presenting a piece of plate to Mr. BANKES. The hour of attendance was named in the ad vertisement, and the price of the tickets fixed at 6s. each. We, of course, considered this—and who would not 2- 3 . 4 a Public Dinner; and, in the discharge of our duty as journalists, requested our Reporter to attend it. A few persons, however, who called themselves a Committee, thought proper to refuse the representative of the Slier borne Journal admission to the table. Now, on private considerations, this circumstance must gratify us. But we have nothing to do with private considerations : had the question rested on our own feelings, we should not have deemed it worthy of a single observation ; but it is the great public outrage of checking the liberty of the press that we wish to bring forward against the conductors of this Tory feast. It is to convince the electors of Dor setshire and all England of what such men would do if they could, that we inform them of this fact. After the election in May, 1831—after that glorious triumph which has enfranchised thousands, the electors of Dorsetshire gave a dinner to the friends of Mr. CALERA FT ; but was there any restriction as to who should attend ? Was there any fetter put upon the press? No : If any such hint had been named, the idea would have been scorned. —Sher. Journ. The Army Half-pay Bill, and other - pjl!ei were for warded a stage. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from Mallow, complaining of the boundary assigned to that town by the Irish Boundary Bill. At four o'clock the Royal Assent was given by Com mission (the Commissioners being the Lord CHANCEL. LOR, the Duke of RICHMOND, and the Earl of SHAFTES. BURY ' ) to the following Bills:—The Registry of Deeds (Ireland) Bill, Lee's Estate Bill, and another private Bill. The Dublin Coal Meters' Compensation Bill was read a third time and passed. The Bill for abolishing certain Sinecure Offices in the Court of Chancery went through a Committee. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Mr. BERNAL, Mr. CRAMPTON, and others, brought up the Sugar Duties Bill, the Exchequer Bills Bill, and the Reform of Parliament (Ireland) Bill, agreeing to the amendments of their Lordships, with an amendment; and also the Irish Boundaries Bill (amendments agreed to), the High Court of Delegates Bill, and the Ecclesiastical Courts' Contempt Bill. The Bills of the Commons were severaliy read a first time. The amendments of the Common; to the amendments of the Lords on the Irish Reform Bill were appointed to he taken into consideration on Monday next.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Auausr 4. The House was summoned to the House of Lsrds to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to several Bills, for which see the Lords' Report. A person from the Treasury appeared at the Bar with an account of the official value of the exports and imports. Sir A. AGNEW moved that the Committee upon the better observance of the Lord's Day have power to report the minutes of evidence.—Agreed to. Mr. STRUTT presented a petition from Manchester in favour of the Government plan of education in Ireland. Sir A. AGNEW presented a petition from certain fish— mongers and poulterers in London, praying for a better observance of the Lord's Day. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A Message from the Lords announced that their Lore_ ships had agreed to the Coal Meters (Ireland) Bill. On the motion of Mr. S. RICE, the Public Accounts Bill was read a third time. The Ecclesiastical Courts Lill was read a third time, and passed. The Speaker's Retirement Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. The Office of Speaker Bill went through a Committee. Report to be received on Monday. The report on the Land Tax Commissioners' Names Bill was brought up and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Wednesday. On the motion of Mr. SPRING RICE, the report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and agreed to. The Public Accounts Biil went through Committee, and was ordered to be reported on Monday, as did the Aberdeen Colleges Bill. The Assessed Taxes Composition Bill, after some fily observations from Mr. WYSE, went through Committee, and was ordered to be printed. Lord ALTHORP said, that he had been awed a question yesterday relative to an unfortunate occurrence that bad taken place at Clitheroc, but at that period the Home Office was not in possession of any information rel.:- five to the affair. lie did not now wish to enter into the details, but would merely state, that they confirmed what had been said yesterday. The Noble Lord was, however, happy to say no lives had been lost—somewhere about thirty persons bad been wounded, but not many se verely ; it was also true that the Riot Act was read pre vious to the military acting. Lord SANDON had written into the country re quiring all the particulars of the transaction, and he (the Noble Lord) hoped lion. Members would refrain from making observations upon the unfortunate affair, till it was ascertained what were the particulars connected with it. Mr. LEADER wished to know how the affair originated, Lord ALTHORP said that he did not wish to throw any blame where it was not due, and should decline an swering the question asked by the Hun. Member. Mr. WARBURTON said he was perfectly aware chat many Hon. Members were anxious to take a part in the debate on this subject, and therefore be hoped the lion. Baronet would not persevere in his motion, otherwise he must move that the House be counted. Mr. WYSE presented a petition from the Grand Jury of the county of Donegal, praying the House to tike measures to prevent forgery ; and one against tithes. Mr. WARBURTON gave notice that on Wednesday he would present the petitions regarding the Deccan prize money which were in his possession, and afterwards move that an address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he would suspend the execution of his warrant fur the payment of that money till after these petitions were dis reed of. On the motion of the same Hon. Member a copy of the warrant of distribution was w tiered. Mr. BALDWIN moved for returns of the expease in curred by the Comminsioners of Sewers for 1831.-or dercd. Sir IL INGLIS said that by desire of the Committee that sat upon the accommodation for the Members of that House, he rose to bring forward the subject. It had been proposed to throw the Committee Rooms, Nos. 18 and 19 into the library, but it was found, though there were 2/ rooms for Committees, yet so many of them were taken up for other purposes, that not more than 15 were avail. able, and, therefore, neither Nos.lB or 19 could be spared. The plan _proposed by the Committee, by the advice of the architect, Sir R. Stnitke, was incorporated in the Report; he would therefore move that an address be pre— sented to his Majesty praying that he would be graciously pleased to carry that plan into effect. Lord ALTHORP was of opinion that something ought to be done with regard to the better accommodation for Members, but before the plan was agreed to, it would be better that Government shou!d have some communication with the architect, so that they might know what the plan was, and what its execution was likely to cost. After a few observations from Mr. R. GORDON, Mr. SLANEY, and Sir F. BURDETT, Sir R. INGLIS withdrew his motion for the present, with the understanding that he should bring it forward on Tuesday. The House adjourned at a Quarter past Fire o'clock. The Duchess of KENT, and her daughter the Princess VICTORIA, heiress-apparent to the Throne of Great Britain, arrived at the Talbot Hotel, in this town, yesterday, accompanied by Lady CATHERINE JzNaiNsort, the ELLECII3CRS LuTzEN, Sir JouN CONROY', and various other attendants. Their entrance into the town, and pro gress through it, were greeted with enthusiastic cheers, which appeared exceedingly to gratify the illustrious visitors.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—About eleven o'clock on Saturday night last, the man servant of W, WDODLAND, Esq., at Mount Taunton, on crossing the :ourt yard, with a light, was startled by finding a bird sitting across him, which, on being pursued and caught, was found to be a snipe The bird is alive, and in the possession of W. BEADON Esq. Birds of this descriptio. s although migratory, are sometimes found during the gum, ner, with their young ones, in nests, in marshy situaliont, but the appearance of the one above mentioned, and its easy capture by the hand, render the circumstance very re markable. —.Bath Chronicle. EXECUTION OF WILLIAM JOBLING, AT Duartrast.—On Friday last, soon after 12 o'clock, the wretched criminal WILLIAM JOBLING suffered the extreme penalty of the law, on the drop erected in front of the County Court, Durham. Since his condemnation, ti e has been very attentive to his religious duties ; and 4 ex.' hibited on his way to, and upon, the scaffold, the utmost resignation and fortitude. He acknowledged, while in prison, the justice of his sentence, though he denied hay-, ing been the principal in the fatal transaction which led to his ignominious death. He could neither read nor write, but had procured a friend to transcribe some scraps front t,ooks which had been read to him in the gaol, which he wished to scatter amongst the crowd. He was dissuaded from doing this, and he gave them to the Governor of the prison to deliver to a person whom he named. Just as the fatal bolt was about to be withdrawn, a person near the scaffold cried out, " Farewell, Jobling," and he in stantly turned his head in the direction whence the sound proceeded, which displaced the cord, and consequently protracted his sufferings, which continued for some minutes. After hanging an hour, the body was cut ,:own, and con veyed into the gaol, whence it will be removed to the scene of the murd e r, wh ere th e g ibb e t on which i t is to be suspended is ready. The number of persons present at the execution was far abort of the e xpectations previously 0 , entertained, which may be in some degree accounted f ur . b an y d th fi e fty we n t f ri t e h • e s were draw n up within the area in front of the drop previous to the execut i on, and they remained until the body was cut clown. Th e p eo pl e present conducted themselves in a very p eacea bl e an d pro per manner. 14 ° f t h t i r ' e e g i morning.inutofrol Fifty hussars mounted, POPULAR NEW NOVELS.
