The report of the Bank Committee of the House
of Commons is supposed. to be nearly ready. It is
said, that Mr. Tierney divided the Committee, and
alone in voting against the Report. Thus, then,
the report cannot be in favour of a very sudden or
ilecided plan for the resumption of cash payments,
or Mr. Tierney would not have voted against it ;
and yet it must hold out a reasonable prospect, a
rational scheme far that resumption, or the other
five or six opposition members of the Committee
would not have voted for it.

The public attention has been very properly call.
ete to the Parish Clerks' Bill, now before the House
of Commons, and we hope that the well-founded
opposition to the Bill will prove effectual. We ere
no rational grounds fur proposing such a measure,
which must add considerably to our present
burthens, which are already excessive. We
expect to hear of petitions presented to Parliament
from every parish embraced in the provisions of the
Bill, to prevent it from being carried into a law.
t:f• 1)r. t'c r PAR case of aduliery, ex-'
tremely nossipiteated, and oullnienl;y scandalous, was
brought on last WLditesday before the Tribunal at
Cveseetional Police at Paris. A tidy,. aged 24, was ac-
cused of having permiced herself to be seduced by her
physician, and iii hat committed the crime of 'adul-
tery with him. From the number of ladies WllO '
tended the.court, it widen; that the Case was
tiered highly interesting. The accomplished elegance of
Inc accused, the ,harms aof her fignie, her trembling
at the bar during the discussion, excited much
interest. 'lke other accused is much esteemed to his -
prolestion as a physican. Several witnesses were cr-
amitied, and in particular two servants, ss hose test i 'nutty
as to tile facts was sufficiently conclusive, .at least as to
appearance. The intercourse was discovered by the
husband its rather an extraordinary master. The lady,
whets writing two Liters, one to her •littsband and ano-
ther to her lever, mistook the superscription ; and het
husband, the Sieur 8., on receiving a note is :111 unusual
stvle, suspected some mystery, anJ after some inquiry,
' succeeded in developitht the whole. The further pi o-
ceedings were deferred till Wednesday next.
The following address was on Wednesday pre-
sented to the Court by the London Grand Jury:—
