A fever has broken out among the students in
the college near Mots. county of•- Kildare : such is
iut viruleno, that the professtors have written to the
pante of those not elilieted, to have them instantly
rainoved ; and, in order to prevent the contagion
spreadi‘-g norther, suits of clothes arc ordered to be
brought -for such as shall be removed, with the

In canton of the Vallais in Switzerland, Jo-
xeph
.Costa, a Genoese, has been condemned to be
put in the pillory and whipped, on conviction of
haVing assumed the name of the ecclesiastic attached
to the convent of the Simplon, and of having under
this character received considerable sums, which
charitable persons in France; the .Netherlands, and
Sti,:itierland, thought they Were giving. to the au-
thorized collector of the hospital. . The GovCro-
re int of the Vallais describes five accomplices of th's
farnoui collector.
It is well !Mown to persons ebncerned in passing
private bills through Parliament, that it is custom-
ury, as soon as they are printed/ to send a copy to
the Chairman the Cornmitte. of the house of
I.orcls,..in order tc ve,,aCive his Lordship's observations
.und alterations. it is said, that in the cour.ie of this
Seision, there has beenintrod.,:ced, by the authority
alluded to, into all the uew acts, a clause
exeinpting tho members of the lloyal Family from
the psyment of tolls.; which exemption, as worded,
v ill extend to all carriages of even- description bear-
irg the arms of any of the Royal Family thereon.—
This clause has teen introduced into Scotch and
other turnpike acts not likely to be alfecced by the
measure; but the rule. enceintreclaced will soon
forM a precedent for inserting it into acts affecting
reads near London, and which in Its operation may
lvmerne extremely serious to the di2erent trusts in
th, Vicinity of the Metropolis.

chargeable with poor rates.
Lord CAST LrltV AOll moved, that the House, at its rising, de
adlown to Monday next. Agreed to.
LT= Itt tare' Alettiiietwes.—Mr. Moinurr moved the
second reading of the Lead Mines' Assessment Bill, entering into
details of the nature of the grievances which this measure was cal-
Culated to remora. It had fOrg been complained chin the North;
unmy Petitions have been p:• scntod on the subject, and ha un-
dersto:lti that Petitions were on the read from Cornwall, in con-
sequence of the sgateushetiog been Wad upset inthet part aria,
etruntry during the last year. The Bill was not his own; it was
framed pursuant to a report of a Corornittic of that-llouse on Ate
subject last Bassion. Ile trusted that the House would tag
into consideration the hwrest of th',se who would be affected by
the Bill; she owners were amongst the most opulent, and tba
leirst'oppresstd by duties.
Col. WOOD said, if this Bill were agreed to, what was to pre-
vent its beim; eetended to all min-1 whatever ; besides, it wonl
dsstroy the system of friendly societies, and introduce the Pcor
Laws—laws that were any thing but friendly to the poor! lie
felt assurcd, end he should be prepared to argue the que.tion
such, that tie l'owr Laws. as now conatituted, were of a most
demoralizing tend( ncy. If the Poor laws were of such prejtt.
dicial tendency. and all admitted that they rennir..d correction.
be conjured v... Ucuse not to drag-antler the de'unwalizing
enee of the Poor Laws property Cat had never been amenable to
them, till those laws should be amended. (Hear.)
Lord LaitcEl,l.• :II contended drat the Bill really rcgoired to place
the le,iice of mires in the situation in which they originally umlar •
took to ;dace theanWees, for many of the workers were .tow
chargeable on the rates.
!Mr. Alderman Micron said, the original motion affected only

Lead" urines. and yet other mine, were to be exempted ; but
he would appeal to the House whether it was a -fair pnnelple of
legis•ation, to tax one slimier: of mining without extending the

Sir J. Gnatast objected to this Rill, on the ground of its par.
tial namre. IEII extenced to all mines, then the rplestiOn might

SINGULAR CaiTost.—The southern part of Devon
is remarkable for its excellent cider. For the pr-
pose of insuring a good fruit harvest, the fallowing
custom is almost universally kept up in that part of
tae county. On the eve of the Epiphany, the fat.-
mer, attended by his workmen, with a large jIT o'
cider, rcpair to the °retard, and encircling one
the best hearing trees, they drink the fallowing toast
three several times:

here's to thtre. old apple trek ;
Whence tht n trutfat bud. and whence thou rriay'st blow !
And wheGee thou Inay'bt bear apples emus !

And my pockets full too I I luzza! Masa!

- .
Some are so superstitious as to believe, that if they
neglect this ancient custom, be the weather whet
may, the trees will bear no apples that year.
