The report of the Bank Committee of the House
of Commoos is supposed to he nearly ready. It is
said, that Mr. Tierney dividad the Committee, sad
alone in voting against the Report. Thus, then,
the report csnnot be in &your du very sudden us
decided phtn for the resumption of cash payments,
or Mr. Tierney would not have voted against it;
and yet it must hold out a reasunahle prospect, a
rational scheme for that resumption, Ur the other
five or site opposition no-mlsers of the Cemmittie
would not hive voted for it.

The public attention has been very properly call-
to the Parish Clerks' Bill, now lx!fore the House
of Commons, and we hope that the well-founded
opposition to the Bill will prave effectual. We see
uo rational grountis for proposing such a measure,
which must add consi.lerably to our present paro-
chial burthens, which are already excessive. We
expect to hear of petitions presented to Parliament
from every parish embraced in the provisions of the
Bill, re prevent it from being carried irate a law. •

tery with him. From the nil otter of lathes who at-
tended the court, it was evident that the case was consi-
dered highly interesting. The acernitplished elegance of
the accused, the chants of her figme, her trembling
attitude at the bar during the discussion, excited muck
interest. The other accused is much esteemed in hie
ino!.6sion s; a physiaan. Several wit:tesses were eri-
