IRISH ASSESSED TAXES.

The CHANCELLORof the EXCHEQUER rose, td
move the Order of the Day for the Committer on
the Irish Assessed Taxes, for the purpose of post-
ponieig it.
Sir HENRY PARNELL complained of this post-
ponement, and alluded to his intention of moving
fur a repeal of the Irish Hearth Tax: He thtinglit
the discussion should be now brought on, as 111141/y
Gentlemen front Ireland were in uttendusice, who
could not be present on a future occasion.
The CHANCLLLOR of the EXCHEQUER regretted,
the necessity of postponing his tototi ttttt lint he
really did so from the tl ss of the Douse, ut►d
the importance of the question.
Sir J. NEWPORT said, that if he studied tither
his own health, or his obvious inability to whit e• 4
the House (we regret to say the Right Hun. Ila ((((( et
laboured under a severe hoarseness), it would he d
colivenience to hirn to have the question postponed.
But he must protest against this mode of treating a
question, vitally affecting the people of Ireland. It
was not long since lie had a motion for large peen•
niary grants from the public purse, wade and dis-
cussed at a much later hour.

Sir GEORGE HILL theilKilt it would be come-
nicht to postpone the quesiion.
Sir J. NEWPORT said, lie felt so convinced of the
impropriety of postponing it, that he would 1111 l ve
us era amendment, that tile Houle do mow go foto
the said Committee.

The CRA iccaLLoot of the Excnrouert appealed
to the Speaker to state, whether :it the moment that
the HiOn. and. Learned Gentlemen opposite (Mr.
Brougham) rose, ler had uut himself addressed the
Chinr to introduce the motion on the Asscvsed
Tozes of. !reload.

The SPEARFR said, that certainly the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman had intimated to him his cis..ire
to bring on the subject early in the evening; but
the Huu. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Brougham)
caught his eye drat.
Mr. PEEL earoevtly urged the impropriety of
pressing his Right Hon. Friend to enter nisi" a
'abject, under circumstances so little calculattd to
insure for it a proper direction.
Mr. TIERNEY wild, the only question was, whe-
ther there would he any convenience in going now,
at half-past nine o'clock, into a question, iii which
the Right Hots. Gentleman stated bewail sprelisirrit
to enter tlwee or four hours earlier. If the Right
Hon. Gentleman meant to adjourn the How, well
and good ; but Wile merely proposed this hwiness
to stand over for the pisrpose of introducing any
other, then indeed the people of Ireland would
have just reollOu to couiplaiu of this inattention In
their interests.

Mr. LUSHINGTON urged' the necessity of post-
poning the question now—it was evident that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer meant to haveintro-
duced it, if he had had the opportunity he sought
early in the evening.
After a few words from the CMANCELI.on of the
EXCHZQUER and Sir J. NEWroIIT, the bitter with-
drew his amendment, end the fernier Agrrtil to fix
Wednesday next for the Committee on the !fish
Assessed Tam.

A Meeting was held on Wednesday, sittarnoned

The Qbern's illness, and the frequent return of

Liven rise to some demur as to the dissolution of
Parliament ; as in the event of her demise, during
the interval between the old and new Parliament, a
dilemma might occur for which no provision has
been made. The care of the Kina's person is
minimal to lies MAJSITT. and no successor is
named in the Act in case of the calamity of her
decease.—(Evening Paper.)

Reports of an alarming sickness, which had shewn
itself in the camp of the Marquis of Hasmas,
were mentioned some days ago. We regret to find
those reports coofirtned; hat we have the consuls-
lion of bring able to add, that at the date of the last
advice's, the disorder had nearly disappeared, and
that it had been chiefly confined to the followers of
the camp. whose h.ibits of poor living rendered them
more susceptible. This epidemic, mistakenly called
in the southern provinces the cholera inorinis. had
ull the charatiers of a derided pestilence. It had
hems gradually masking its way along tlw banks of
the Ganges and tlwJainas, and saddeuly broke out
in the British camp. In the first dry in which it
was distinctly recognised, 97 deaths were reported ;
out the mat, above 600 died in the camp. Never,
"I".'itis said, was a scene so dreadful witnessed. The
dead and dying strewed every road. On all sides
were heard the wailing' of those who were seised.
and gave themselves up to despair. At that time
the malady was chiefly confined to the camp fol-
lowers Among the troops, European as well all
ostive, who live well. the mortality was much less
'lwo among other classes ; but the loss. even among
I hem, was severe. lot the Governor General's este.
tolo‘lionent alone (who had himself been slightly af-
levied), 17 native servants died .—The remedy
which was commonly administered upon the first
appearance of the complaint, was a tra-spoostful of
Loud:mum ill 14 glass of brandy. This, in general,
retarded the progress of the disorder. and afforded
toms for farther cure; bat, ii many cases, the ma-
lady was so rapid as to kayo no opportai►ity for ad-
loomisteriug medicine. Natives were seen to fall
•nddculy, without ally previous sensation of illness,
and die 111 s few initiates. There were upwards of
„Sou .►alive troops sick on the 23d of November,
tout onost of them were doing so well, that but few
oleatlos were apprehended out of this number; and
Ile further spreading of this dreadful scourge ap-
peared to he stayed.—( Eoesing Pape►.)
