'This result was not surprising to those who have attended to the progress of the affa'rs of the BaLk of England, and who have remarked that the cir culation was extended 107,000/. in the course of the recent month, that the securities on which capital is now advanced were made more numerous at the time of the last notice from the Directors, and that more bullion has arrived in the last five days than would pay for all the corn which could be imported in all the ships which could be engaged before the closing of the Baltic ports.

Sta,—What do persons who -are opposed to the pre sent Corn-laws believe ? Ist. That millions who are at present in the most miserable destitution would, by the abolition of those laws, be made nappy. 2(1. That by the abolition of those laws, thousands who annually perish of long and lingering disease caused by hunger ! might be saved to pour their grateful thanksgiving to God for his bountiful plenty. Had I the abiLty, I should not pause to examine the truth or fallacy of such belief; but I ask a Christian, I ask an Atheist, if such there he, what can the man be made of who holds such opinions, coupled with power to spread them, but who still holds back, and for vile purposes ? What can the person be made of who by his honest exertions might, or thinks he might, make a people happy who are now in misery, might make a people glad who are cow in despair ? - • Such a person is ho who has raised the Lynch-law yell against Mr. Harmer ; such a person is he whom the citizens of London are now following. London ! which has always stood foremost—London which has not unfrequently stood alone and successfully in the cause of liberty, is now about to be tricked by a vile, a most detestable special pleader, one who sacri fices what he believes to be the dearest interests of his country for a traitor bribe.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tuns, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the u dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,_ which for want of a careful investigation •f its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. thew o Tk r relationk,e be edir and eetedirected, an PRECEPTOR, dv e also,very responsibility y owf muchah o holds ass parent,isted will,t i e n mpo investigating perusingnt l g y a , n t g least this and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultinti.tely the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time.

The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

The Capitole, we perceive, lays claim to a knowledge of the object of the meeting of the Cabinet Council here on Monday last, and the determination at which it had arrived. To determine that the treaty of the 15th July shall be carried fully into execution, involves, as a matter of course, the rejection of the propositions of Mehemet Ali. For what were these propositions ? To cede Candia and Adana; Candia he cedes, because he knows he cannot keep it ; and it is ridiculous to sup pose that so trifling a cession as Adana would be in the least regarded. After long diplomatic discussions, throughout which the French Government appeared to very little advantage, the Four Powers found themselves obliged to come to a determination respecting the affairs of the East without France. The treaty of the 15th July was, however, signed. The French next tried to prevent the ratification of the treaty. The ratification took place. And now the object is to seek, by all conceivable means, to prevent the treaty from being carried into effect. The treaty was signed on the 15th of July. The knowledge of the treaty reached Constantinople by the beginning of Au gust. We are now arrived at the beginning of Octo ber. The last accounts from Constantinople, however, do not come further down than the beginning of Sep tember. What has happened in the interval? The knowledge of the treaty operated like magic at Con stantinople. The partizans of Mehemet Ali were silenced. The Court is unanimous. The Ulema (the Supreme Council of Turkey, in which the heads of the Church have a paramount influence) at once proceeded to excommunicate Mehemet Ali : vessels of war were placed under the command of an English officer, an amazing effort in Turkey. Six thousand men were embarked for Cyprus, who have been seen off the coast of Troy. And orders have been given for the speedy embarkation of 10,000 additional troops for the same destination.. This is confessedly an asto nishing display of energy for Turkey. And again, with respect to Mehemet Ali, what has happened? We are pompously told by the French journalists that he would rather bury himself in the ruins of Alexandria, than depart one iota from the resolutions he had an nounced, and that Ibrahim would be ordered to march without delay on Constantinople. But Mehemet Ali has displayed none of this ungovernable ardour. He tries by cessions, utterly inadequate no doubt, but still cessions, to gain his object. So far from ordering Ibra him to march on Constantinople, the position of Ibra him shows that the Pacha is greatly alarmed for Syria, and not without cause ; for the landing of 16,000 troops in a country of which the inhabitants are only deterred from rising by fear, must at least find occupation for all . _ his disposable force, Even in Alexandria there is any thing but unanimity ; and the public bodies of the place have made representations to him strongly recommending concession. In what respect, then, does the state of things now justify a departure front the Treaty of Lon don? Governments are supposed, when they conclude a solemn treaty, to mean that it sh:11: be executed. Has anything arisen since the 15th of July to render it un advisable to give effect to the treaty ? A few paragraphs in the French papers indicate that the treaty is not in good odour with the people of France, and that, as they strongly sympathise with Mehemet Ali, they would be gratified if the treaty were not to be carried into ef feet: But what would be thought of the Four Powers, were a reason of this kind capable of influencing them ? In the face of Europe they would proclaim themselves idiots on the 15th July, or miserable cravens on the Ist October. Treaties of such moment as the 15th July ought not to be lightly entered into, but, when entered into, the execution cannot be lightly abandoned. (From the Times.) Having already inflicted pretty ample justice upon the recent apology for the Whigs which a venal print of theirs had borrowed from a Scotch Paper, it was our intention to have said nothing more upon the sub ject ; but, as it appears that our recent article, besides destroying the elaborate web of our opponents, has sorely provoked their wrath, the advantage which their loss of temper p u ts within our reach is so extremely inviting that we cannot consent to overlook it. People (lAA usually get into a passion for nothing. If state ments arc put forth so feeble or so false that nobody is likely to be impressed or ensnared by them, one natu rally treats them with becoming indifference. Nay, a tissue of gross misrepresentations, requiring nothing but a temperate exposure, is generally rather ser- ‘iceable than otherwise to the party it is meant to injure. Accordingly, when we wrote the article in question re ceitainly felt, that although the Ministe rial defence might warrant us in giving it a quiet anni hilation, we could well afford to dispase of it with the utmost apathy and disdain. On this account the Go vernment menial who had patronised and paraded that defence has thought fit to assail us with a pail of un filtered Billingsgate, and because we cannot allow our selves to be discomposed by the bungling frauds which he and his accomplices persist in palming upon the public, we are at length arraigned upon the heinous charge of treating them "wills an almost phkosophic in difference." Now, to be candid, we must admit that this, even though uttered by the Globe, is strictly true. The loose lucubrations of that Journal, albeit we some times take the trouble to brush them away, never excite in us any other feeling that that of calm con tempt. But, while thus acknowledging the compliment paid us by an enemy, we regret that we cannot return that compliment to the quarter whence it proceeds. The Globe, as it gallingly shows, cannot feel any such indif ference toward the '1 imes. Oa the contrary, if its paltry inanities fail to disconcert us in the slightest de gree, it gives abundant evidence that the quiet and con clusive way in which we sometimes deign to despatch them occasions it infinite TOOT titivation and agony. Hence it is always sprinine ground upon uswith a volley of petty resentments ; and, along with its angry impa tience under the treatment we bestow upon it, it pre sents such an utter incompetency either to despise or to invalidate that treatment, as clearly shows that its ability to defend its Whig suborners is reduced to the last shift. DEATH THROUGH DREAD OF HAVING TAKEN A l l a r. te S tiff A , K o E e tt, t a b t e th b e e D dy uk o e f o m f Wellington, e ß a, ro e O g k e e d - P O lSON.— . Yesterday after n oon, an inquest was held ary Fc It appeared that on Monday forenoon last deceased b afiirt f ey o e- r ot e ; e asked her servant to give her is bottle from the cup board, containing some beer, and the servant gave her instead a bottle containin g a gout mixture, the principal ink redients of which were rum and colchicum. The mistake was not discovered till deceased's husband came home to dinner, when, seeing the bottle on the table, he said, " My God, you have not been taking say of that, there is poison in it." The mixture having operated violently on deceased, the husband did not think it ne cessary to send for immediate medical advice, and re turned to his work after dinner. Deceased getting worse, Mr. Petty, a surgeon, was called in at half-past three o'clock, and decease died in an hour afterwards. Mr. Petty said when he was called in he could not precisely learn what deceased had taken, and he sent to the husband to obtain correct information. In the mean time he went home, and the messenger not returning within an hour, he went back to see deceased, but found her dead. The husband told him the reason he sent back no message was , th at, considering the mixt ure , from the way it operated, harmless, he thought there was no danger. By the ConoNER—I think deceased died from na tural caused, but that her death was hastened by th e i fear she was thrown into by hav i ng been t old that she had taken poison. Not having op ened t he body, how the body of Willi am Mur ph y, I cannot positively s t a te the exact c ause of death. Verdict—" Natural death , accelerated by fright." Y Two LIVES LOST IN A " LARK. — Thursday an in quest was held before Mr . Baker, at the Black Horse, 1 - igh-street, Poplar, on p Johnßamsay, master of y a tigie ed ballast 32, a ballastbrg e heaver. belonging Heavers' Company, s aid, that on Monda y w eek last, a in the forenoon, he was passing - , havin g d eceased and a man named John Fitzgerald on board, in his barge, through Woolwich - r each. When he got opposite Ham creek, deceased and Fitzgerald began " a larking," and the latter gave the former a smart shove on the shoulders ai he was standings n the stern sheets near the side of the and with hi back to the water. Deceased was barge, d backwards overboard in consequence pushe , and in fall in he caught deceased by the collar, and pulled him into the river also. Witness instantly got out of the barge's boat and pulled to their rescue. Wh en b e was within about a dozen y ards of Ftzgerald, wh o was a goo d sw i mme r, and who was making for the b oat , M urp h y ca u g ht hold of h im, and dragged him under water. They both then s ank, and din not rise afterwards. Wit ness gave an alarm, and . several boat s w i t h d rags came, finding but were not succe ssful in either of the bodies. The body of deceased was found on Wednesday morn ingoff the ma nufactory of M essrs . M i ll s an d floating Ravenhill, engineers, a djoining to the E as t I n di a D oc k s . Verdict—" Acc idental Death." The body of Fitzgerald has also been f oun d, an d an inquest was be.d upon it last evening. Similar evidence was adduced,and a sim ilar verdict recorded. (From the Morning Post.) The speech of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on the inauguration of the Lord Mayor of the city of Dublin confirms the suspicion we have more than once ex pressed that her Majesty's Ministers have some scheme in contemplation for keeping the places which Mr. O'Connell gave them, and getting rid nevertheless of the encumbrance and disgrace of his alliance. The project is coming out by degrees, and the declaration of Lord Ebrington, that no more places are to be given to Repealer', is a great disclosure. It is amusing enough to see the thimbles move, but the spec tator who fancies he can guess whereabout the pea is will probably in this, as in other analo gous cases, see himself deceived. It would not sur prise us to find Lord Melbourne and his colleagues giv ing more end better places than ever: to Repealers in atonement for Lord Ebrington's affront to these esti mable gentlemen. The following is what his Lordship said upon the subject to which we refer :—" He de clared for himself and the present Government that they held the maintenance of the Union between the two countries, now existing forty years, to be in dispensable for the present security and permanent stability of the United Empire. To repeal the Union by legal and constitutional means, such as its abet tors declare to be the only means by which they wish to obtain it, he declared to be utterly im practicable. If an attempt were made to force it by any other means it would recoil with disas trous effects on the country, but still further on those who would attempt its attainment, and would miserably disappoint those who were now its most prominent advocates. If attained it would be speedily followed by separation, and that would be fraught with the deepest calamity to England, but worse to this country. It was his determination to withhold all Government patronage from those who took part in the agitation of it. Out of respect for the constitutional rights of British subjects he did not sup press the meetings for its agitation. The sentiments expressed at some of those meetings with respect to foreign countries would justify the Government in inter fering to prevent them, and if there was cause of alarm he would be found as ready to exercise the powers of the law as he was to show respect and forbearance for the constitutional rights of the people." (From the Morning Herald.) We understand the Government have resolved -to afford to the rabble of the metropolis the disgusting pastime of a scene of strangulation on the scaffold next Monday. The case is one into the particulars of which we will not enter—it is one which a right-minded Government would never be anxious to enforce upon the public attention. An execution upon a charge like that for which the wretched culprit is doomed to suffer has not occurred in London for eighteen years—we mean as to any case arising in London itself, or in the metropolitan county. There was, indeed, an execution DA moneys in - q u i r k s h ave been of this sort at the gaol of Newgate five years ago, but the moneys raise f d for Grace Darling and it was a Surrey case.

There is a place set wholly apart for such culprits in the House of Correction, Cold Bath-fields, where they cannot associate with others. This prison, we' believe, is under excellent management. At all events, if its moral discipline should fail to reform such offenders, its walls and bars can effectually protect society from being contaminated by their presence. There are crimes which it is better for society should be covered with the oblivion of the solitary cell, than dragged under circumstances of horrible interest into the light of day. Reports of such executions are hawked about the streets and villages—disgusting details are given to gratify a vicious curiosity—and thus the exterminating severity of the law is made instrumental to polluting the morals of the people." It is one of those " moral lessons" that the Marquis of Normanby and Mr. Fox Manic are about to present to the idle and riotous rabble of the metropolis. There is a " knowledge" which is truly described as " power ;" but there is a knowledge also, which, especially to the young mind is, in itself, " pollution." We say to the Government— " Dispense with the useless barbarities of the scaffold — secure the culprit from the public eye, in the peniten tial gloom of the dungeon, and spare the morals of the youth of London." (From the Morning Advertiser.) • A rumour prevails in Paris that M. 'niers had ad dressed a note to the Ambassadors of the Powers en gaged in the treaty of London, intimating that if the terms proposed to the Porte by Mehemet Ali were not accepted, such refusal would be regarded as the evidence of a desire to attack the revolution of July, rather than of a wish to preserve the integrity of the Ottoman empire. Were it not for the absurd allege tioni to which the French Cabinet has lately given its sanction, we should regard this rumour as too ludi crous for serious animadversion. But when it is pre tended that France has been insulted by the other Powers interfering to settle a question, in the adjust ment of which she refused to take any participation, and to the terms of which settlement she offered no objection—when M. Guizot avows his despair of England, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Turkey united being unable to rescue Syria from the grasp of the Egyp tian usurper, describes the means proposed to effect that object as " inefficient and dangerous," and actually threatens these Powers if they persevere in that object with the indignation of Mehemet Ali—when M. Thiers professes a desire to protect and preserve the Turkish empire, and at the same time proposes to dis member it of Syria, we cannot be surprised if he should crown his audacious absurdities by the fallacious and daring assertion, that a refusal of the terms proposed by Mehemet Ali should be considered as an attack upon the Revolution of July, and not as an attempt to up hold the power of the Sultan. The fraudulent design of this assertion must be as apparent to the people of France as it is to the rest of Europe. It is not to Louis Philippe or M. Thiers that France looks for the :ssertion of the principles promulgated in the Revolu tion of July. On the contrary, in them she recognizes the authors of its defeat. France preserves little of the Revolution of July, but the mementoes of its failure, and amongst these may be recognised Louis Philippe and M. Thicrs as the chief. No doubt a more popular cause of war could not be presented to the French people than a defence of the Revolution of July ; but against whom, then, should their hostility be directed ? Who have been the direct assailants of that revolution ? Who but Louis Philippe and M. Thiers ? Against them, therefore, should the wrath of France discharge itself. 310 NE MARKET and CITY NEWS (THURSDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—The investment of a large amount of the assets of the late Mr. Hammersley in Consols has been the subject of some remark in the City ; but the first and obvious duty of executors in such cases is to place the funds which come into their hands in the safest place ; and the Government Securities is gene rally the source of which they avail themselves. It is, nevertheless, to be remembered that executors of bankers stand in a different position from those who represent private individuals deceased. The late Mr. Hammersley had large sums belonging to others in his hands, deposited there for a particular pur pose, and perhaps sold out of the funds until re quired. These persons may have anticipated a fall in the public securities, and thought it right to avail theniselsh . s of the market price. It may, there fore, be made a question whether the executor of Mr. SU N.—The Funds closed heavily this afternoon, though no notice, as was rumoured, appeared from the Bank of England for raising the rate of interest on discounts.

THE COURT AND COUNSEL. Marshall, an insolvent confined in Southampton gaol, applied to ha discharged on sureties ; they appeared in person. Mr. Woodroffe opposed, and Mr. Cooke sup ported the application. The proposed sureties, two persons named Bannister and Middleton, underwent a searching examination respecting the property they possessed. They both swore they were worth upwards of 4001., the sum re quired in the case. It was proposed by Mr. Wood rare, after he had examined the bail, to call witnesses. Mr. Cooke objected to such a course, and said the rule laid down in the superior Courts was not to allow affidavits to be read after the bail had been examined. The rule had been acted upon in this Court in a case, and on the same ground he submitted that witnesses could not be called in contradiction. Mr. Woodroffe thought it would be monstrous if the inquirii s made could not be stated. Mr. Cooke said the evidence must be given before the bail were questioned, and cited a erse in which he had been concerned, in which Mr. Justice Bailey acted on the rule, and laughed when an attempt was made to disturb it. The Chief Commissioner said he should receive the evidence and consider the point. The attorney for the opposing creditor was called. The Chief Commissioner said he had sent to Mr. Commissioner Law on the subject, and he was of opi nion that evidence should be received. He (the Chief Commissioner) thought the great object of all parties was to get at the truth. It was the truth be wanted, and therefore he should receive the evidence. Mr. Cooke said he had merely stated the o:nion of the superior Courts—an opinion on which t o had thought this Court would have acted. The Chief Commissioner, with some warmth, said he knew what had been stated, and he l:ad given his decision. lie vvou!d not be roplied upon. Mr. Cooke declared that he had only mentio d the opinion of a superior Court, and nothing mite. Chief Commissioner (with increased warmth) —I know you have, Sir, and I shall take the evithr.ce. I have decided it. Mr. Cooke, resuming his seat, said he had ment:ored a Court where justice was administered. Chief Commissioner—l know you have, Sir, B . :wed the rule, and I have decided. Tue decision, Sr, it mine—the responsibility is mice. Mr. Baddeicy, the solicitor fur the opposing ere itor, stated, in answer to Mr. Cooke, that he had great ex perience in the superior Courts, where bail were accepted, and he never knew an instance where uffidavits were read or witnesses called after bail were examined. The rule was the reverse, and he did not know that he should have been called. The opposing creditor was also called. Tue insolvent's brother was called contra. h was contended that the bail could not justify for the required amount. Mr. Cooke, in his address, d, - .elared that he was as anxiou • to elicit truth us any man, and had acted on the pril'ciple during the whole of his experience, and therefore thought the observation made was not. called _ . . liatumersley should have changed the investment of the money deposited in the bad( of his late brother without the previous assent of those to whom the depo sits belong. But we have no evidence that the funds ' invested consisted of deposit money. It may have have been received from debtors of the deceased since his death, and placed in the public funds as the safest place until arrangements are made for a genet - AI mce:ing of the creditors of the deceased. The facts, however, which have come to light relative to the affairs of Mr. Ilamtnersley, go far to sub stantiate the truth of what we have more than once stated lately, that the law of banking is de fective. A system clearly requires reform which enables a single individual, undar the mysterious veil of " and C 0.," to mislead the public by inducing them to suppose that he has other partners engaged in business whoareparticipators in his profits and responsible for his engagements, while one person only really con stitutes the firm. The very mild remedy which we ven tured to suggest was merely the periodical registration of the names of the partners of all banks of issue, with out reference to the number of partners, and a direc lien to the Starnp•office to furnish such lists on payment of a reasonable fee, so as to farm a guard against the gratification of idle curiosity. If the law provided such means of knowledge to the public, no complaint as to concealment of the parties engaged in such establish ments could be advanced on good grounds. for from the Court. ►le had stated tho rule laid down in the tupetior Courts, where the Learned Judges were aoxious to get at the truth, and he believed this Court would act on the t ule laid down in the other Courts, and which rule had never been disturbel. Tha Learned Counsel spoke with much feeling when he al luded to his own conduct. CornenisEioner said, in reference Jo the observa- TIMES.—A circular from the French Minister of the Interior to the prefects of the departments has been published in the Moniteur, which is on much the same principle as one noticed a few days ago, that is to say, it is issued for the purpose of preventing imprudence in the contraction of loans. The law of May, 1838, for bad any loan to be taken by a department, except under legislative authority. The object of this law is to hinder the departments from pledging future revenues for present purposes, and to preserve them from the danger of being obliged to fulfil obligations at a time when the most rigid economy may be called for. At tempts have been made by several departments to evade these salutary regulations. Some have made tacit agree ments with contractors for this purpose. Thus, when a project was approved by the competent authorities, tenders were received for the whole of the works, high as the expense and uncertain as the means of payment might be, and tho contractor, instead of being bound to execute his work each year, no more than to the extent of the means disposable, was authorised to exe cute the whole, being paid only according to tl-)e credits opened each year in the budgets. In other depart ments the revenues have not been anticipated by ar rangements with contractors, but with the proprietaries, who might be interested in the completion of such or such a scheme (a road for instance), and from whom loans have been obtained. Hero the evasion consisted in taking such an advance of funds as it was pretended did not constitute a loan, because the term of repay ment was not always fixed, and the interest was not always chargeable to the department. This Minister has thereture written to show that these are really evasions of the law , and to warn the prefects that they are personally responsible in the event of a repetition of such illegal acts. These measures will, no doubt, be useful in France in preventi n g im p rovident borrowing as well as lending. tions of the I—,arned Gentleman (Mr. Cooke), that he should make no comment on some of the rumarks mad e . If it was gratifying for persons to make them he did not wi.l) to deprive them of the gratification. Tar: Court ultimately rejected ti.e proposed bail. POST.—That the foreign exchanges may be ex pected to be immediately and extensively altered in fa vour of England, were there a tolerable certainty of the preservation of the general peace, may be supposed from two very important circumstances which have been brought forward in the course of the present day—an advance in the foreign duty on wheat to 18s. Sd• per quarter, and the arrival of one of the largest masses of bar silver which has been known to come to England in a single vessel, a million and a half of dollars reported, in her Majesty's ship Sparrowhawk, from the Pacific Ocean and Brazil. The duty on foreign wheat is now further ascertained to be certain to advance to 0 0s. Sd. on or before the 14th of the present month ; and at the same time all the accounts from the continental ports represent the corn markets as declining, under the prospect of small exp rations being required for England, the Itos . cO r e . packet -ship, from New York, bringing also accounts of falling markets for flour, the consequence of large orders countermanded on English account. From every part of the three kingdoms the intelligence is that of almost unexampled abundance in the miscellaneous crops ; for t h oug h the quantity of wheat may be not more than o which f the average of years , there is a great superabundance of other descriptions of grain and renders potatoes, turnips, impossible fruit, and other productions, the prevalence of very high prices throughout the en suing year. The temporary depression of the foreign exchanges is, therefore, of no true importance in the affairs ; for, though a few petty potentates may thiak that silver ought to be secured for their military chests, this drain of bullion will be soon rendered needless were a final arrange ment of the Eastern question effected between England and France. The uncertain state of the foreign ex changes, wit . h the continued exportations of silver, • i created a considerable number of reports in the KENSINGTON POLICE. DISTRESSING REVERSE OF FORTUNE.-- Yesterday, after the night charges had been disposed of, a decently dressed female, in the vale of years, who. had evidently moved in a superior sphere of life, appeared before Ur. Palkington, the sitting Magistrate, to ask his advice under the following circumstances : The applicant, who during her statement was affected to tears, said she wished to ask the Magistrate if a son could legally be compelled to support an aged mother, and how she was to proceed to compel him to do so ? Mr. Piikington informed her that, according to law, a son was bound to support a parent to the best of Lis abidty, provided that parent had no menus of subsist ence, nod became chargeable to the poor-rates. The applicant said her mother's name was Mills. She was eighty-nine years of age, and was the widow of a gentleman who for tifty-two years, tilled the situation of page to his late Majesty King George the Fourth, as well while Prince of Wales and Regent as after his accession to the throne. After her father's death, her mother an- ticipated she should receive a pension. In deed one was promised her by his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, then Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Mills having formerly served in the line. That promise was, however, ultimately reduced to her name being placed on the compassionate list, at an allowance of • 141. per annum, which had since died away. The ap plicant had since kept her mother while her (applicant's) husband lived ; but since his death she had become so situated that she was now compelled to look out for the situation of housekeeper in a nobleman or gentleman's family. She had it, therefore, no longer in her power to assist her age] parent, having a family of her own to see to, while her brother, who was an officer in the navy, on half-pay, and possessed of considerable pro perty, on being applied to to assist his mother, refused to do so, and said there was no power that could com• pel him. Mr. Pilkington said it was certainly most unnatural conduct on the part of her brother, but the Magis trates had no power to interfere until called upon to do so by the parish officers. In what parish did her mother reside The applicant replied in the parish of Chelsea, in which parish her brother also lived. She had stated the case to Captain Fitzgerald, one of the Chelsea Magistrates, who had sent her to Sir .1. S. Lillie, but both of those gentlemen had given her the same in formation as the worthy Magistrate to whom she had applied, in consequence of being told that an applica tiod ought to he made within the parish to which her mother belonged, which was Kensington. Mr. Pilkington told her her proper course. would be to apply to the parochial authorities of Chelsea, who would pass her aged parent to Kensington, the officers of which parish would then proceed against her brother, who deserved such an exposure. The applicant thanked the worthy Magistrate for his kindness, and retired, remarking she had wished to avoid the exposure, but she could ❑o longer prevent it.
