or better course, than to avail themselves of such cases as
often us they ticcorreil, either w abolish! the elective privileges

Representatives to Parliament to oilier and more populous
pieces.—(Hear, hese.) No coarse of proceedlii,g would, in
his opinion, be better calculated to silence the complaints made
out of duets respecting the Constitution of that House; no
better way could be devised to reform and purify that Howie
by sate and gradual means; and it was a course that be should
like to see adopted ; tor lie was not ashamed to avow, that he
was a moderate Reformer.—(Cheers.) 11 here Electors basely

tier that was calculated to reduce them below the stated the
most slavish condition on the Cuatinent ; the Boroughs ought
to lie distrateckised, and the rights conveyed to more populous

beneficial in improving the value of that House and its cha-
racter out of doors—{Cheers (von, the opposition Benches.)

Lord CASTEREA6II obsei yeti, that the course to be adopted
oti the present oreasio:i was the civet difficulty. It the
Repoli, were to be deemed special, it was clear; hut he
should tile to lent n from the Chair what rouise had bee.
adopted on turner occasions under 'tar ciicuuistahees.
(Hear.)
The SrEAK ER replied, that it WAS AM customary to delay
the issuing of a ‘t rim, except on a Special Report 1 hot he
apprehended that the Report in the present case mast be
viewed as special. It' that import were given to the Report,
the course to he pursued was deal; it was, however, to be
determined, whether the cortupt practices applied to indi-
votliials or to the Borough at large. It was not adviseable
to delay the is • g of the Writ, except the Report was
dee Ott' Special, because it was desirable that the number
Ct. Km prearuutives should be finished ; but iu this oil-hand
answer he could not pretend lulty to inform the House on
the suite-et.

Lordtaart.Eueauu moved that the Debate be adjourned
to Mouday.
Mr. 'WYNN observed, that there were several similar in.
stances, Winton, Aylesbury, Sc.; but in those cases the
House proceeded, in consequence of a motion flout the Chair-

nr.vrif os Tpl: ESQVIMAI• x.—On the 1 tth inst. died, at Edin-
burgh, John Sackchousc, aged gg, a native of the West Coast of
Groenland. This Esunimaux has occupied a considerable share of
the public attention, and his loam will be generally felt, lle had al-
ready rendered important servirts to the country in the late Expedi-
tion of Ihscovery, and great expectations were naturally formed of
the utility which he would prove on the expediter/. about to sail for
Raflin's Nay. 'l•he Admiralty, with gr:st liberality and judgment,
bad directed the greatest pains to be taken in his further education,
and he had been several months in Edinourgh with this view, when
he was seized with a violent inflammation in the chest, which carried
him off in a few days. He was extremely docile, and though rather
slow in the attainment of knowledge, he was Industrials, zealous,
and cheerful, and always grateful for the kindneas and attention
shown to hint. His amiable disposition and simple manners had in-
terested those wino had opportunities of know•irg him personally, in
a way that will not be forgotten. To the l'ubhe his loss, we fear, is
irreparable; to his friends it is doubly sevcre. dust before his death
the poor Eaquiniaux said he knew he was going to die; that his
father and mother bail died in the same way ; and that his sister,
who was the foot of all his relations, hAI just appeared to him and
called hint away !

VIPITATTON OF DEATIT IN wee. FAMILY.—On
Tuesday, the. 29, Edward, the son of Mr. Dillard, a respectable
limner in the parish of lialberton, near Tiverton, aged 11, died,
after a few da vs illness. of a throat orenplaint ; leaving behind him
three sisters, all promising girls ; but, on !Saturday. Jan. 16, Mary,
aged to, was seized in her eye ; no serious apprehensions were en-
tertained, but she died on the atoth ; on the Vs edneeday following
she ',was buried; when, awful to relate ! the parents and relatives
were but just returned from the grave, when Elizabeth, aged three.
expired, !eating only one to console the .diet..! parents with the
hopes its life being spared, but that hope was not realized; the
girl, whose name was Anti, aged five years, began to droop, and
lingered until February 4, when she expired.
On tke morning of
.Saturday senniglit, a fine girl, daughter of
Mrs. Jones, a widow. in Bell Court, Commercial !load, during the
temporary abseree of Mrs, J. fell out of a two pair of stairs window,
and injured herselt so much as to cause her death.

On the evening of the 6th instant, al the Earl of Ilehoter's game-
keeper at Redlynch. was setting a springipin, he accidentally trod
upon the wire, when the gun went off; and its contents lodged in his
