CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE BUSI&ESS OF PARLIAMENT. • (From the Morning Herald.) One of the many evils arising from the practice adopted of late years of postponing the most ;mpor tant business of parliament till the middle and close of the dog-days, is, that the majority of both houses, some from indolence and indifference, and still more from being tired and worn out, leave London; some " pairing off" for the remainder of the session—others without neutralising their vote by any such precau tion. We do not lay the whole blame of this pract;oe to the whip ministers ; for though it has continued and increased under their auspices, it had commenced be fore their accession to otiice. No one who has ob served the course of legislation since the passing of the reform bill can be in any doubt that the House of Commons has fallen in the scale of value as a delibe rative assembly, while the House of Lords has risen in proportion. Seeing, then, the increased value and importance of the upper . house, the practice in ques tion is the more to be deplored, as it deprives the House of Lords of the time for deliberation which it would otherwise bestow ❑pon many of the important subjects which come before it. Many members of that house, unable to continue any longer in London, .de part just at the moment when their presence is most important. Of this unfortunate state of things we are at this momt-lt the more strongly reminded, when we perceive it announced thrit the Duke of Wellington is about to depart for the continent, and that the country will consequently be deprived of his grace's parlia mentary services during the remainder of the session, and that when the real labours of the house may be truly said to have only just commenced. The loss of his presence during the coming discussion is greatly to be deplored. Year after year have we condemned the inconvenient, not to say mischievous, practice we allude to. What the government can gain by it we do not understand, beyond the chance of now and then passing, sub silentio, a measure which, in the earlier part of the session, would not escape scrutiny. On the other hand, they have all the trouble of preparing and debating measures, some of which are ultimately dropped for want of time, and which would not be the case if such bills were prepared and brought in in time, if more of the public business originated in the upper house—in short, if a determination were formed and acted upon, of getting rid of a practice so detri mental to the best interests of the country, and discre ditable to the legislature. THE CURSE OF IRELAND. (From the Dublin Record and Statesman.) We hold it to be among the most tremendous sins of ignorance in some men, that they attempt to re medy evils which God himself has appointed for the punishment of wickedness, and more especially for the punishment of the dreadful wickedness of apostacy and idolatry. Of this nature are most of the attempts which have been made, and which are constantly mak- ing, to remedy the evils of Ireland. They are nothing more nor less than a fighting. against God; and, ac cordingly, we find that they are almost invariably at tended by those results which we might expect vk here man impiously strives with his Creator : they aggra vate the malady they were intended to cure. What have God-less, un-Christian men ever done for Ireland, or what can they do for it ? They can whiter. the sepulchre; they can paint and varnish the living, or perfume ad embalm the dead ; they can get up the mockery—a little of the mere outward appear ance of a people blessed of God, and therefore happy and prosperous; but they cannot remove one atom of the rottenness which lies within ; they cannot change a single particle of the essential vice which defiles the source of being ; and they cannot therefore diminish in any degree the appointed misery which flows from it. 'rte land is cursed of God for its idolatry, apostacy, and vice in every form ; and will He endure that his purposes shall be counteracted by a few impious per. sons who cast his word aside, and think that they re quire not his help ; nay, dare to hope that they can do well enough wigrout him, or in defiance of him ? The amazing mercies and wonderful forbearance of the Lord are shown most signally in not visiting for such revolting pride and rebellion. But we are spared; again and again, and from year to year we are spared, and the Lord is still waiting to be gracious to us. It has pleased God to give us a mode of communi s eating with his people, both in this country and else where ; and we value it as one peculiarly important and precious, inasmuch as it enables us to give a tes timony against tlrit impious system of idolatry, Po pery, a testimony which we do trust will, under God, do much to enlighten the mind of the nation, and rouse up a spirit which has too long slumbered—a spirit of jealousy for the honour of Jehovah, and of zeal for the truth as it is in Jesus Christ. We are acquainted with many worthy people who entertain a just abhorrence of Romish impiety, and see it ethically and religiously in all its active defor mity ; but are very far indeed from a just conception of THE CURSE, in all its fearful extent, which it en tails upon the land. They do not perceive that it poi sons the air, and infects the earth, and intercepts or destroys every good—mars the gifts of nature, and per verts every faculty of man. They look for other causes of the wretchedness of Ireland, just as if this one were not the sure and inexhaustible foundation of all ! The people reject the truth of God, and it pleases Him to send them strong delusions that they shOuld believe a lie. The land therefore is CURSED. Where Popery prevails, every moral and every physical evil abounds also. I t will be a part, and an important part of the States man's labour and business to trace this connection in principle and in fact—to exhibit the denunciations of the Lord against idolatry and apostacy-7and to trace the connection in fact, between the miseries of Ireland and the profound darkness and irreligion of the peo ple. While a shade of doubt obscures this fixed and most important truth, there will be some defect of that intense energy with which every enlightened Christian ought to lift up his voice against that master evil of Ireland, Popery. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 28. — There have not been so many pieces sold to-day, chiefly on account of the increased prices demanded by the holders. Wool has been for some time on the advance, and the manu facturers hold out for a correspondent improvement in the price of their goods. Fine flannels have not even been in quired after, while those of the coarser kind are in brisk de mand; and considerably more would have been sold, had the prices offered been accepted. The wool market has been rather more active to-day; and for broken wool and nails more money has been asked, though perhaps not generally obtained.—Manchester Guardian, Wednesday. - - - THE PLAGUE IN TURKEY.—The frightful accounts given by M.

The plague of 1837 was more fearful in its ravages than at any preceding period for the last twenty years, and yet not a trace of improvement could be found Cu their manner of treating it, or in the pre cautions which they took to avoid its extension. Clothes of the deceased teeming with infection were sold by auction — travellers passing front the scene of disease and death to a spot still free from malady, and conveying the disorder with them—merchandise shut up for a few months, and then opened and exposed without purification —imperfect and care less interment-=in short, everything which could propagate rather than arrest the disease was practised in the same man ner as in former times; and M. Bone says, that with the pre sent generation there is no hope of improvement; it is on the rising youth alone that au impression can be made; and he suggests that the moat elementary books on physical, natural, and medical science, should he given to them with the Koran; and he calls upon the philanthropists of France and England to have such books printed and introduced.—Athenaeum. REPORT OF THE PENSION COMMITTEE. The committee on the pension list have closed their labours, and the report has been laid before parliament. Subjoined to the repoit is a list of all the existing pensions referred to them by the house. They have classed them under the fol lowing heads, where they are connected with particular branches of the public service, or capable of being traced to an origin admitting of such arrangements :- 1. Army, 2. Navy, included in one class; 3. Diplomatic; 4. Judicial and legal; 5. Political; 6. Civil and revenue; 7. Colonial; 8. Services to Royal family and in household; 9. Rewards for literary and scientific attainments ; 10. Royal bounty and charity; 11. Compensation for forfeited estates ; 12, Miscellaneous, not included as above. It then proceeds:— 1_ Your committee trust that the explanations given in the appendix will appear to the house clear and satisfactory, and they are enabled to state with confidence that no efforts on their part have been omitted which could ensure its accuracy and precision. It is formed from the information laid before them, excluding that portion which was confidentially com municated, and which, as it related to the private circum stances of the several parties, your committee feel assured the houSe would neither expect nor desire to see made matter of public disclosure. In eases where pensions were originally granted, either specifically or mainly, in consequence of the narrow circum stances of the parties, and such circumstances remain un altered, your committee have found some instances in which the near collateral relations of the pensioners are persons of wealth and station, though not within those degrees which' create a legal obligation for support. As your committee have no means of calling on such relations to provide for the support of the pensioners if these grants should be withheld, your committee abstain from recommending a discontinuance of such pensions. in some of those cases the relatives have taken on themselves the payment of the sums hitherto re ceived from the state, but others have not done so; and you r committee feel it their duty to express their decided opinion that where close relationship exists, and where means of sup port may be afforded, it is to family connections, and not to the public purse, that application for relief made. Your committee have placed in a separate class certain pensions which, in their judgment, should for the present be suspended, and should only be re-granted on the responsi bility of the government, in case the circumstances of the parties require it, when the particular contingency arises which may render such pensions hereafter necessary. The majority of these cases are those of ladies who during the lifetime of their husbands do not stand in need of those pen sions, but to whom they may become necessary as a species of settlement or jointure in the event of their surviving their husbands. Another class forms the converse of the preceding one. It comprehends many to whom your committee consider that the existing pensions should be continued for the present, but where the term of the grant should be limited to another, and generally a shorter, period than that which.was originally fixed. The last class on the list comprises those pensions which, in the judgment of the committee, ought not to be continued. In submitting this recommendation, your committee cannot but feel considerable reluctancei because they are well aware that in consequence of the continued renewal of civil list pensions from reign to reign, and even after a change of dynasty, an expectation was created in the minds of parties that these pensions should not be disturbed. But, giving full weight to these objections, your committee, however reluctant they may feel, cannot rink from the performance of the duty imposed upon them by the house. They are, however, of opinion that provision should be made for the payment of the amount already due to all those parties whose pensions are proposed to be suspended or wholly disconti- nued. They recommend that in the case of all future civil list pensions the warrant or other instrument of appointment should set forth distinctly the reason and motive of the grant. This will be a cheek against inconsiderate recommendations for pensions, and will furnish to parliament hereafter that ready information which your . committee have found so much difficulty in obtaining: They recommend that where . pensions are granted for ser vices to persons other than the individuals by whom the ser vices were rendered, care should be taken, if these pensions are granted for younger lives, that the amount of pension should be reduced so as to prevent any undue increase of charge to the public. Indeed, excepting under very peculiar circumstances, it is the opinion of your committee that such grants should be avoided, and all the facts connected with them considered with the greatest care. They recommend that in cases where pensions are granted as acts of royal bounty for the relief of distress, it should be distinctly provided that such grants should cease when the circunistances of the parties no longer require their coati- nuance. This principle has already been acted on in various cases even where a pension bad been granted for public services, highly to the credit of the parties concerned, among whom the names of Viscount Sidmoutb, the late Lord Farnborough, Mr. Moore, Mr. Marsden, and Mr. Charles Bathurst, are honourably distinguished. The house will also bear in mind that civil list pensions have been surrendered on the same grounds, and that for several years the pensions granted to the Duchess of New castle, Lord Reay, Mrs. Percy Smith, and Lady Seymour, have ceased by the voluntary acts of the parties interested. They recommend that under no circumstances should the mere combination of poverty with the hereditary rank of the peerage be considered as a justification of a grant of pen sion. It is far from being the wish of your committee to ex press an opinion that a peer should not have the same in ducements to exertion, and should not share in the same re wards for services rendered, which are enjoyed by other classes of her Majesty's subjects; but your committee consi der, no less for the honour of the peerage itself; than for the interests of the public service, that the system of granting civil list pensions to members of the peerage, merely because they are reduced in their circumstances, should be altogether discontinued. In order to avoid any possible doubt or misconception hereafter, your committee recommend that enactments with respect to the Irish and Scotch revenue, analagous to those contained in the English statute of 1 Anne, should be made part of the bill which provides for the re-grant of the civil list pensions. They recommend that ail pensions to be grar ted should be held liable to deduction or suspension in the event of the par ties being appointed to office in the public service, thus ren• dering the continuance of the pensions unnecessary, either for a time or permanently. This course has been followed in some cases of grants of pensions submitted to your com mittee, and might be advantageously extended further. Your committee have now concluded their 'important and laborious duties, and have only to recommend that a provi sion be made on the consolidated fund for the pensions charged on the civil list, transferred to the consolidated fund, or charged on the 44 per cent duties, agreeably to the tenor of this report; and •,u-order that parliament may be satisfied that these principles are strictly carried into effect, ycur com mittee recommend that a return of all pensions which her Majesty may be pleased to re-grant shall be laid on the table of the 'house within ten days of the opening of the next ses sion.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE Honora M'Carthy was capitally indicted for offering a bo: named William Crowley, aged eight years, to an apothecar, for sale, to be by hitn put to death. There were severe counts charging this novel and extraordinary offence in different ways. John Matthew Lefebure, the apothecary, and Robert Arm strong; policeman, were examined in support of the prose cution, and deposed to the following facts. Mr. Lefebure, residing in Drunmanway, the prisoner came to his house between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of the 31st of March. She told him, in a room behind the shop, that she had a 'child to sell, a fine likely boy that she kept for charity. She wanted to get £5 for the coy; 111 r. Lefebure said that was too much, that grown subjects were had for £2. He afterwards offered £3, £3105., and £4, at different times. She refused, and he finally agreed with her for £5, and told her to come next morning; she said she would, and that she would want a long day to leave the town and country. She brought the boy the n ext mornin g at ten o'clock, the boy being in a state of intoxication from porter andspir L its ei n a . b h u ic r il e she had given him . On the p revious evening, Mr. soothed boy, desired w h e A n r m b s n t u r o g n n g t the nb e p g o a l n i c c e r m y i a n n g , ; t o a n b d e t i h n e at p t r e i n so d n a e n r c s e o . him, saying the doctor would give bun something sweet. She then spoke to Mr. Lefebure privately to put him aside at once, as she should be going to the road. He asked her if she could have another boy in a month, and she said she thought she could. He went professedly for the money, but brought the policeman, who arrested her. Aii....S2anuallJahazzlas4lizagil as counsel for the by the court, addressed the jury at some length; whit hit lordship charged the jury who brought in a verdict of guilty, and sentence of death was recorded against the prisoner. Mr. Core Jones was requested by the court to look after the boy, and have him sent to school. The Uiversity of Durham has presented Wordsworth, the poet, wiYt the honorary . degree of D.C.L. This is the first instance, and an illustrious one, in which that university has paid a similar compliment. STATE OF TRADE.—There was a very active demand for yarn yesterday, and a considerable extent of bUsinesk was done at the full prices of the preceding week; and some of the spinners were demanding a slight advance, which, how ever, was not obtained in anv considerable number of cases. In goods there was no material change from the preceding Tuesday,—Manchester Guardian, Wednesday. STATISTICS. From the year 1821 to the year 18.36, both included, the average date on which the river Dwina opened for naviga tion, was April 25; closed October 31 ; duration of naviga tion 189 days—all old style. The number of merchant vessels belonging to the several ports in Sweden, in the year 1837, was 924, tons butthen in Swedish lasts, 49.219, in English tons, 118,125. ExrouTs IN MANUFACTURES.—The declared- value of the British and Irish manufacturers exported in the year 1827 was £37,181,335; in 1828 it was £36,271,756: in 18 , 29 it was £35,843,623; in 1830 it was £38,271.597; in 1831 it was £37,164,372; in 1832 it was £36,540,594; in 1833 it was £39,667,347; in 1834 it was £41,649,191; in 1835 it was £47,372,270; and in 1836 it was £53,368,572. " The nobility" of Sweden appear to be declining, and the landed estates to be passing to the other classes. From Ist January, 1832, to 31st December, 1835, the nobility dimi nished its freehold property by sales, no less than £640,721; while the " middle class" increased its freehold property by purchases, £306,316. The amount of mortgagls unredeemed un the freehold property of the " nobility" at the end of 1835, was £2,683,517; ditto of the " middle class," £2,360,224; ditto the peasantry," £2,423,280. EMIGRATION.-The number of emigrants from the United Kingdom to British America in 1832, was 66,339; in 1833, it was 28,8)8; in 1834, it was 40,060; in 1835, it was 15,573; and in 1836, it was 34,226. To the United States of America, in 1832, 32,980; in 1833, it was 29,225; in 1834, it was 33,074; in 1835, it was 26,720; and.in 1836. it was 37,774. To the Cape of Good Hope, in 1832, it was 202 ; in 1833, it was 517; in 1834, it was 288; in 1835, it was 325; and in 1836, it was 293. To the British Settlements in Australia, in 1832. it was 3792; in 1833, it was 4134; and 1834, it was 2800; in 1835, it was 1860 ; and in 1836, it was 3124. The total number of emi'rants in 1832, was 103,313; in 1833, it was 62,681; in 1833, it was 76,222; it 1835, it was 44,478; and in 1833, it was 75,417. - - - - • - ST. PETEnsauncu.-The increase in the capital of RUssia has nut been at all in proportion with the •increase in the empire. In the year 1765 the population of St. Petersburgh was 150,385; at the end of the 18th century it was '220,208; in 1814 it was 3.35,713; and in 1833 it was 442,896. At the last perioa, however, t here were 301,870 males and only 141,026 females, clearly indicating that a large part of the population was merely occasional. And this is further shown by the return, which states that, " the great disproportion between the males and females is attributed to the number of military in garrison, of young men in the public offices and schools, and above all to the number of labourers employed upon new buildings and public works, whose families, for the most part , remain in the interior." In 1778 the total number of houses was 4433-there being of wood 3800, and of stone 633; in 1814 there were of woOLI 5942, of stone of stone 2181; and • in 1833, of wood 5216. and of stone 2730. MANUFACTURES IN SWEDEN.-No later account is pub lished than for the ,year 1835. From that it appears that there were 40 cotton and linen manufactories ' employing 1370 workpeople, and producing in value £37,160; woollen 123, workpeople 563, value £333,010; satin 21, workpeople 751, value £44,889; silk 17, workpeople 35, value £4,033; sail cloth 10, workpeople 563, value £11,960; dye houses 279, workpeople 850, value £33,422; glass 14, workpeople 599, value £26,492; tanneries 218, workpeople • 618, value £50,429 ; sugar refineries 26, 3vorkpeople 300, value £ 183 , 138 ; tobacco 82, workpeople 696, value £80,874; cotton mills with machinery 9, Workpeople 721, value £36,175. Various other manufactories making a total of 2,037, workpeople 14,925, value £1,042,299. The observations on the return state in 1826 only 540 articks of machinery were used in Sweden in the manufactories of cloth, and that in 1835 the number was 953. The British Consul, however, "is of opinion, that including what may have been produced last year, there has already been an overproduction. English yarn, chiefly from Hull, is now to tt. bought here at a cheaper rate than that manufactured in the co'untry." STEAM ENGINES IN THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS OF IRELAND.-From a return given in the second report of the Irish railway commission, we obtain the following facts, which are there given in detail:- No. Engines. Tot. Horse Power. Belfast and neighbour . hood 50 .... 1,274 Clonmel and „ 3 .... 65 Cork 2B .... 412 Dublin Galway - Kilkenny Limerick Londonderry Por►law Waterford 164 206 116 300 90 151 ... • 3,111 Of the 50 engines in Belfast, two are used in spinning cotton yarn, a third in spinning cotton and linen yarn, one in spin ning and weaving cotton, 17 in spinning linen yarn, and four in bleaching, calico printing, and dyeing : the others are used for a variety of purposes in connection with other manufactures, &c. In Dublin, one is used for a cotton spinning mil!, and one for cotton-printing works. In Port law three, of the largest kind used in Ireland, of an aggre gate power of 300 horses, are used for a cotton factory; but all the remainder of the 151 are used in grinding, pumping, turning machinery in foundries, working collieries, &c. Three are used in starch manufactories. EXTRAORDINARY ANGLING ADVENTURE A fewsurnmers ago I was pursuing my favourite amuse ment, when I met with the following ludicrous incident, over the recital of which I have since had many a hearty laugh, in which, I have no doubt, my readers will join. The scene of my adventure was a small lake in Perthshire, beautifully situated at the head of a richly wooded glen, and the undu lating hills, which slope down to the water's edge, are clothed with the noble specimens of the Scotch fir; the reflection of the lofty trees, the grey rock, and the purple heather, upon the quiet deep water, gives the picture the cast of the most intense solitude, and the spirits gradually sink into a state of melancholy pleasure. It is the recollection of wandering amid such scenes as this which produces a sort of mania for fishing which we often see in some anglers, and surely it is an excusable one where the imagination can revel on the wonderful and stupendous works of our Creator. I was diligently working the little silvery trout, with which my hook was baited, when my reflections were disturbed by a low muttering from the wood behind me. I had not listeued long before aloud crashing among the branches warned me that it was time to cut; and, as a bull is an ugly customer at all times, I seized my rod, and dashed for the nearest tree, but a pike at this moment, not aware of my alarm, followed my example in dashing at my bait. There was no time to spare, so letting the reel run, with the aid of a little gymnas tics, I established myself firmly on the first stock of a stout pine, and viewed, with great satisfaction, my savage Hear eyed foe just in time to be too late; he seemed determined, however, on a blockage, and kept tearing up the turf, and butting his broad forehead against my house of refuge, giving me a good sample of his bloody intentions. My attention was quickly recalled to my aquatic friend, who was snaking most woful depredations on my line, which, foitunately, could boast of nearly three score yards and ten; he had nearly run it out, and it was with joy that 1 saw him throw his huge carcase a couple of feet out of water, with the view of breaking his bonds by , the .weight of his fall.— I was prepared for this; and, after a few wild and unruly runs, he became much more tractable. It was out of my power power to come to terms so long as old homey stood sentry below, so I sat very comfortably playing my fib*. At this part of the lake the water covers a shallow bank to the depth of a few inches. It was here, after in vain seeking to ease himself of my steel, he made his last and grand struggle for liberty: He took a furious diish, sprung and rolled about, and, at length, run himself aground, producing an infernal commotion in the water, which he lashed into foam around him. It was not long before the fancy was tickled; and, possibly, reasoning front my earnest attention to the motion of the pike, that there existed some connexion be tween us, made furiously at hiS new acquaintance. Here commenced one of the rarest combats that was ever fought, but the knight of the water proved himself more than a match for his more lordly antagonist. However skilful I may be in playing my fish, 1 could not pretend to have any power over the motions of the assailants, but sat, almost splitting with laughter, whilst niv line, which was immediately broken, was twisted round the horns and legs of the bull, who was going right and left into the stranded fish, who was, notwithstand irig, scarcely hurt, as nothing very effectual could be done against his shiny sides, whilst, every now and then, he would turn to pin his enemy. An opportunity was not long in oc curring, and his long jaws and hooked teeth were firmly fixed in the nether lip of the enraged and terrified animal, who, bounding along the shore, tossing his head, and using every effort to get of his tormentor; but it was all in vain, his rearing and his rage were equally useless. I was quickly on terra firma; leaving my rod, dashed on in pursuit, in which I was joined- by two herdsmen, with their dogs who had came up on hearing the noise. What is cones ing,what is fox-hunting, what is any chase that can be named, in comparison with the sport we were now engaged in ? There was the bull tearing on, tail erect, and bellowing with pain, and three dogs keeping up with him, and every now and then venturing- a spring at his ncstrils, or at the dead andtorn fish whirls still appended to him, his (srasp in death as deadly as in life. This, however, could not last long, and the poor bull, completely exhausted,, sank down vanquished by a dead fish! The dogs were taken off him, as likewise the remains of my pike, which could have been little short of twenty pounds, and it was so torn as to be fit only for the dogs, who did not, , however, seem to relish it. The herdsmen were much r amused with the recital of my adventure, and 'assured rue the bull would quickly recover from the effects of his spree; and such another, I hardly think, he would wish to be engaged in again. Mawr Pberal. SECRESY OF FREEMASONRY.—In the genuine Freema sonry, secresy was recommended and enforced by every pos sible expedient. The Egyptians set a statue of Harpocrates, with his right hand on his heart and his left pendant by his side, and full of eyes and ears, but without a tongue, to inti mate that whatever may be seen and heard in the mysterious celebrations ought never to be spoken. The Greeks, in like manner, erected a statue of brass at Athens without a tongue, to enjoin secresy ; and the Romans had a goddess of silence, who was represented with her forefinger on her lips. —Freentas9ns' Quarterly. THE PROVINCE ON ASSAM, INDIA.—Its climate is cold, healthy, and congenial to European constitutions ; its numerous crystal streams abound in gold dust and masses of the solid metal; its mountains are pregnant with precious stones and silver; its atmosphere is perfumed with tea, grow ing wild and luxuriantly ; and its soil is so well adapted to all kinds of agricultural purposes, that it might be converted into one continued garden of silk, and cotton, and toffee, and sugar, and tea, over an extent of many hundred miles. —Mr. M'Cosh's Topography of Assam. - • _ ARABIAN SWORD ERERCISE.—The Arabians of the pro vince of Oman combat in a singular manner. In their sword exercise they have but two cuts; one directly down wards at the head, and the other horizontally across the legs They parry neither with thee sword nor with the shield, but avoid the blows by bounding or leaping backwards. The blade of their sword is three feet in length, straight, thin, double edged, and sharp as a razor. As they carry it up right before them, by a peculiar motion of the wrist they cause it to vibrate in a very peculiar manner, which has a singularly striking effect when they are assembled in any considerable number. The shield is attached to the sword by a leather thong; it measures about fourteen inches in di ameter, and is generally used to parry the thrust of the spear or jambeer. AN EXCELLENT MODE OF KEEPING LEGISLATORS COOL. Somewhere in Java or in other eastern regions, the aboriginal legislators while holding a "palaver," keep themselves cool by a device that might perhaps be advantageously adopted in Congress during the warm weather. A jar sufficiently large and tilled with cold water is prOided for each member, who gets into it during the session, and sits until the hour of ad- The measures taken are therefore calm and deliberate, and the debates are likewise free from beat and ill temper. The Javanese Solons cannot lash themselves into a fury by vio lent gesticulation, for any attempt at making 'a splash would probably result in being spilt. Thus, these cold water jars have a tendency to prevent all jars of a warmer and disagree ble nature, and had the pugilistic Congressmen who have of late been so outrageous in the House of Representatives, been "put up" in the Javanese fashion, the recent difficul ties in all likelihood would not have occurred. Under these arrangements, the phraseology of the House might perhaps require alteration. Instead of " being out of order," a gen tleman might be told that he was "out of water," and instead of ordering him to " take his seat," the member might be re quired to " get into his jar." The effect likewise of so many diversified countenances protruding from the crockery could not be otherwise than picturesque and entertaining. Ly curgus in a pipkin would surely be as imposing as Diogenes in a tub.—Pennsylvanian. MISCELLANEOUS. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.-It iS DOW thought tha parliament will not rise till the 10th or 15th of August. ADMIRAL TATHAM.—We are at length enabled to an nounce that Friday next the 3d August is positively fixed for Admiral Tatham's entry upon his patrimonial estate.—Lan caster Guardian. LANCASTER Assizxs.—these assizes will commence on Saturday next, August 4th. There are very few prisoners for trial, principally for petty offences. The judges appointed to this circuit are, as we have already stated, Baron Alderson and Justice Williams. The Birmingham grand dahlia show, which is open to all England, is fixed for the 12th and 13th of September next. Nearly £lOO will be awarded in prizes; the first prize is to be a splendid silver cup. This show is looked forward to by grow ers from various parts, and thec ompetition will no doubt be considerable. ROCHDALE PARISH Cituacx.—lt has been a long esta blished custom, at this place of worship, to keep hearses for the purpose of letting them out to hire. These vehicles have generally been purchased and kept in repair by monies raised in the shape of church rates from the parishioners. The low est charge that is made for the use of one of these hearses is sixpence; others of a more showy kind are rated higher, in proportion to their original cost or quality. This year, for the first time, the hearses have been made chargeable to the assessed taxes; and the churchwardens have been called upon for the payment of the tax, but have resisted the demand. By this decision of the wardens, the collectors of the assessed taxes must now either levy upon the hearses for the money claimed, or forego their dernaud.—Manchester Guardian, Wednesday. - ATTWOOD V. THE BRITISH IRON Co AIPANY.—This cause excited considerable interest, and came on for trial lastweek, at Stafford assizes. It was an action brought by Mr. John Attwood against the British Iron Company, to recover interest upon the purchase money of the Congre ayes estate. Mr Sergeant Wilde was specially retained for the plaintiff, and Sir William Follett for the British iron Company. It ap peared that the British Iron Company had paid Mr. Attwood the simple interest upon the purchase money secured to him by his contract with them ; but that, in consequence of some delay in the payment of that interest, Mr. Attwood consi dered himself entitled to recover interest upon interest. The question, therefore, fur the court to decide was, whether the conduct of the British Iron Company towards Nlr. Attwood, bad been such as to entitle bins to receive the interest which he sought to obtain. The court, as well as the jury, were of opinion that Mr. Attwood had failed to make out his case against the company, and was not,i therefore, entitled to a verdict. A CUNNING ROGUE.—A clerk, going down Wall-street to make a deposit, had his bank-book peering and peeping from his coat pocket; while he stopped to gaze at the numerous ca ricatures near the new custom-house. A well-dressed rogue came up behind him quietly, and, while winking and smiling to the mob, and inviting them by signs to look at a neat trick, •he slipped the bank-book out of the pocket of the clerk, took oat the notes, and returned the book to the pocket without disturbing the clerk, who was still gazing at the pictures. The byestanders, believing him to be an intimate friend of the clerk, were highly tickled at the trick, and laughed and chuckled at the anticipated surprise of the clerk. The rogue walked slowly a-head, turned smilingly to the crowd, put his finger to his lips to enjoin silence, and actually disappeared with a large sum in bank notes, thus obtained openly, while hundreds were looking on. No one knew who he was, nor has the money been recovered. It was a bold and yet most dexterous robbery.—American paper. COST OF MR. MAGA ULEY'S INDIAN CODE.—However pro blematical the success of the attempt to frame a code of laws for India, the expense is quite certain, and also certain to be enormous. We shall attempt to estimate it. The Legisla tive Councillor, or President of the Law Commission, besides £l2OO for passage money, has £lO,OOO. a year. Each of four members has £5000.; and there is a Secretary with £ 3000 , which in bare salaries is £33,000. per annum. Then come house-rent, office-rent, clerks, stationery, and printing, which, to be within bounds, we shall only estimate at £7OOO. Here then is a net annual expenditure of £40,000. Let the ex pense be first tested by "the penal code." The proposition of the mere project,—for it is not yet law, and most likely never will be,—took, as is stated by the Commissioners them selves, two years and two months. The project of the penal code, then, cost upwards of £86,000.; every one of its twenty six chapters cost upwards of £3300.; every octavo page of it near £1300.; every clause of it £177.; every line of it on an average £26.; every word in it a couple of guineas. Draco's code was said to be written in letters of blood; without the least reference to the merits or demerits of Mr. Macaulay's, it may be said to have been written in letters of gold. NEW ORDER OF " TERTOTALISTS.'!—The Warrington police committee have issued an edict, forbidding any of their officers drinking spirituous or other intoxicating liquors, while in the discharge of their duty. No doubt the order ori ginates from the best of motives, but it is one that will be frequently broken. A man who is a drunkard is unfit for the duties of a constable, yet some allowances ought to be made, as officers frequently over a glass of ale obtain information which they cannot get in any other way. Friend Crosfield's plan of paying the landlord for giving information to the police or assisting in bringing delinquents to justice twopence for the use of a room cannot, if put to practice, be looked upon in any other way than a very complimentary act towards the whole body of licensed victuallers. In all probability, the effect of the new rule, if rigorously carried into force, will be the placing _of the police under the thumb of the publicans, in stead of making them, as they ought to be, the terror to all except those who conduct their houses properly, and keep proper hours. It is at all times desirable to prevent crime, but, in the police , _ the "detective as well as the preventive" powers must lie brought into play. A bill is at present passing through the house of commons, for altering the duties of customs on Amboyna wood, apples, pears, cherries, chip hats, &c. Its object, in some cases, seems to be to change an ad valorem into a fixed duty, by weight or number, or vice versa. In other cases the rate is altered. The duty on asphaltum, for instance , is reduced from £4 per ton to ls.; on cochineal, from £2 16s. per cwt. to ls. On cherries, the duty is changed from 18s. Bd. per cwt. to 5 per cent. on the value ; on pears, from 7s. 6d. per bushel to 5 per cent. ; on tulip wood, from 21) per cent. to £2 per ton. Al terations of this kind, which have been made to a lesser or greater extent almost every session, show the attention paid by Mr. Poulett Thomson to the constantly changing phases of trade Asphaltum, for instance, was used formerly only for some few few purposes, with which a heavy duty would not materially interfere; 'Jut it has recently been employed in Paris, in combination with lime, to pave footways, and even horse-paths, and is found to answer admirably. Half a score of companies have, in consequence, been formed in London, to pave streets with these materials; but it was, of course, essential to the success of the improvement, that the enormous duty of £4 on asphaltum should be abolished or greatly reduced. It has accordingly been reduced to Is. per ton, which may be considered as merely nominal. The high duty has never yielded £l,OOO per annum.— Whig paper. THE LONDON ANDBIRMINgIiAM RAILROAD —The di .erence of the level between London and Birmingham is 215 feet; to obviate which, there is a gradual ascent of road from London, of about sixteen feet in a mile, or one-tenth of an inch in a yard. The total lei,gth of the line is 114 miles. The width of the railway, on the embank ment, is twenty-eight feet, and in the excavations thirty feet, the addititionat two feet being allowed for drainage. The line is furnished with two pair of rails, laid down with a space of six feet between each pair. The rails are divided into lengths of fifteen feet each, and weighing from three to three and a .half cwt. The total weight of the rails and chairs which support the rails are frequently inserted into Kyanized sleepers, or beams of timber, where the line is em banked; but in excavations, the chairs are alway inserted in stone blocks, of which there are 21J0,000, of four cubic feet each, and 75,000, of cubic feet stone, weighing together about 105,000 tons. 'There is also stone used in the con struction of bridges .and stations, the weight of which it is almost impossible.correctiv to ascertain. In the coure of the line there are seven tunnels, three tunnel bridges, 125 brick bridges of one arch, twenty brick bridges of three arches, and one bridge of two arches—making altogether, across the route of the line, 150. The width of the embankments at the base varies according to their height, two feet of base being allowed fur one foot of perpendicular. The quantity of earth excavated is abOut sixteen millions of square yards. —Wyld's Guide. LIABILITY OF RAILWAY PROPRIETORS.—At the York Assizes, last week, a gentleman named Vint brought' an action against the proprietois of the Leeds and Selby Rail way, under the following circumstances:—On the 6th of September, 1836, the plaintiff secured a place by the railway from Leeds to Selby, in one of the third-class carriages, which are open at the sides. He left with the morning train, which proceeded as far as the first station in safety. The plaintiff had taken his seat in the fourth carriage from the engine. The rate of travelling at first was about twenty-five miles an hour, but the pace was slackened as they got near the station. At this place there are two or three lines of rads. The engine took one of the lines, but owing to some error or obstruction in the switches or rails, the tender took a wrong line. The consequence was that the engine and tender parted, the carriages being attached to the latter. The first three carriages were overturned, and the fourth, in which the plaintiff was seated, came with such violent force against the third carriage, that the plaintiff was thrown out between the carriages. One of his feet was caught, and was so dreadfully bruised and injured, that the surgeons, on ex amining it, advised immediate amputation as the only chance of saving his life. The plaintiff, however, was averse to this remedy, and had recourse to other advice, and he slowly recovered, but will be lame for life—one leg being consider ably shorter than the other. He was cohfined to his bed for many weeks, and was for eight or nine months unable to attend his business. For the defence it was contended that the plaintiff had himself to blame for the injuries he had re ceived. All the other passengers, it vs as stated, escaped without hurt by keeping their seats; but the plaintiff, it was alleged, in his agitation leaped out of the carriages, and in that way was injured as stated.—The jury found for the plaintiff—damages, £4OO. ELECTRO-MAGNETIC RAILWAY 'CARRIAGE. Electro magnetism promises to become the most important scientific discovery that has hitherto been rendered subservient to the wants of man. 'Eighteen years have scarcely elapsed since Professor Oersted discovered the effect of an electric current on the magnetic needle—which discovery first directed atten tion more particularly to the connection subsisting between electricity and magnetism—and we have already two impor tant contrivances depending on the action of this principle, each of which is calculated to produce momentous improve ments in the means of communication; the one almost brought to perfection, and the other in a promising state of advancement. The electro-magnetic telegraph, now exhi biting in Exeter Hall, we have previously noticed, as an swering most completely the object in view, nor does there seem any obstacle to its being immediately put into operation on an extended scale. The in,vention we have now to notice is a locomotive engine, propelled by the same power. As soon as the means of cominunicating a rotatory motion by the action of electro-magnetism were discovered, numerous scientific men directed their attention to the subject, with a view to apply this power as a substitute for steam ; but the very minute distance to which the attractive power of electro magnets extends operated, and continues to operate, as a serious obstacle to their labours. It was at length announced, that Mr. Davenport, a mechanist of the United States, had constructed an engine of one-horse power, worked by electro magnetism. This statement was regarded for some time with little credit, though much interest was excited respecting the merits of the invention. Mr. Davenport has at length grati fied the curiosity of the English sceptics to a certain extent, by sending over a model of a locomotive engine, which is now exhibiting at the Adelaide Gallery, in the Lowther Arcade, worked on the same principle as his larger stationary engines. This carriage runs on a circular railway, and draws after it two other carriages, which move by the aid of two small galvanic batteries, at the rate of about three miles an hour. The weight thus propelled is nearly 801 b., and the carriage containing the apparatus is about one foot square.

Though we do not anticipate that Mr. Davenport's invention, as exhibited in the working model, would be found applicable on a large scale, with any practical advantage, yet what he has accom plished is sufficient to show that important results may be expected from future improvements in the a pplication of the same principle. We are informed by an American gentle man, who has recently arrived in gnglancl, that he wit nessed a two-horse-power electro-magnetic engine, of Mr. Davenport's construction, employed in p r inting a newspaper at New York, and that it performed the work m ost satisfac torily. Whether or not, however, this was don e at a chea p er rate than the same power might be obtained from steam, we were not able to ascertain.—London Paper. 5 7 :pipping Intelligence.

We have had a very large supply of Beasts at market to-day, in consequence of which the prices have been a little on the decline, bin notwithstanding the number being so much larger than for a considerable time past, very•few have been left unsold, there being many country buyers present, who bought rather largely with great spirit. The supply of Sheep and Lambs has also been large, making the largest show for both Cattle and Sheep we have had for the season—the demands have been chiefly for those of good quality —consequently . those remaining unsold of Sheep are principally Ewes, and Lamps of very rough quality. The best Beef was readily sold at Gid per lb, middling 6d, and ordinary 51d. Good Wether 'Mutton may be quoted at hid per lb varying from that down to 6d, and Ewes 51d to 50.

Since our last there has been a better dernand ; the sales yester day were 5,000 bags, and to-day they are 4,0 , O. The whole of the business is reported to the trade. The market has closed firmly at an advance of id per lb on Friday's prices. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 28. e have had rather too much rain in this district dwine ' the past week,—the weather has of course not been so favourable for Hay, of which, however, some further quantity has been secured in pretty fair condition, and, like the week preceding, it has continued too cold for the season, with very little sunshine, so that the crops of Grain have progressed very little—except in straw—and appear as green as they were fourteen clays ago—thus protracting the com mencement of harvest ;—Rnd having again moderate imports of Grain from Ireland and Coastways, sales have continued to be made more freely to our Millers and Dealers to a fair extent, at an advance of 2d to 3d per 701hs on Wheat, Is per 2801bs on Flour, Id per 451bs on Oats, 6d per 2401bs on Oatmeal, and is per quarter on Barley, Beans, and Pease ;—a similar improvement in prices and demand occurred also in the markets of Yorkshire, and at Man chester on Saturday last, where some small parcels of the finest Forei g n Wheat, lying here in bond, changed hands at 7s 9d to 7s I Id per lb. The only . alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign Ports this week is a reduction of 2s per quarter on Wheat, and Is 21d per barrel on Flour ; and those articles from British Colonies are now admissible for home consumption at the lowest duties of 6d per quarter on the former, and of 30d per barrel on the latter. There are not more than about 5000 quarters of Canadian Wheat in bond in the United Kingdom, of which about 2500 are here, which are of course now relieved from bond ;—but as there is every prospect of a further reduction in the duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports, it is not likely that any one will be so imprudent as to pay duty thereon for two or three weeks to come—if then Bonded Wheat, of the finer qualities, has again been an object of active speculation, and several thousand quarters here, and on the passage hither, have changed hands at very fully our last quotations, and in a few instances for very superior qualities at a small ad vance ;—Flour in bond is held at an advance of 2s to 3s per barrel; but for this and for other articles in bond there has been very little demand.—Yesterday we had an increased speculative spirit for buying Wheat in bond, and several cargoes changed hands of the very finest qualities at an advance of 3d to 4d per 701bs, and at this day's market, to which a little increase in the import 'occurred, there was snore life in the trade than we have for a long time ex perienced ; sales, however, were effected only to a moderate extent, proceeding as much from the unwillingness of the sellers to offer for sale, as from that of the buyers, although at an advance since this day week of 4d to 6d per 701bs on the finest free Wheat, and 3d to 4,1 on inferior qualities ;3sto 4s per 2801bs on Flour,-2d per 451bs on Oats, 2s per 2401hs on Oatmeal, and is to Ps per quarter on all other free Grain, and some few parcels of the finest red Baltic Wheat in bond reached 8s 6d per 701bs under such circumstances quotations may vary •, we endeavour to state them as correctly as possible as under :—the market in M ark-lane yesterday was brisker, at an advance of 2s per quarter oil free, and 3s per quarter on bonded Wheat.
