LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1830.

Summonses have been issued for a Privy
Council to be held this afternoon. The Arch•

,bishops of CANTERBURY and YORK have been

summoned to attend, but, we believe, both the
Right Reverend Prelates had previously left
town. All the Cabinet Ministers are expected
to be present.

In the Houle of Commons, last night, Mr.
:'PEACEVAL gave notice that shortly alter the re-
he Would move. an humble address to his
''4l4tJiliTY, praying that bo*ould graciously,
r''''pleased to appoint a day -for a Genetal,Thust.
This notice excited much surprise and merri-
%,.ment in the House ; and well indeed it might I
A General Fast What an unaccountable an-
nouncement ! Why, the universal complaint is,
that the fast is much too general already. The
• labourers in almost every quarter of England
hare been fasting for the last six months. The
`manufacturers have been keeping a partial Lent
season for nearly the same period ; and the primary
;• Ambition of both parties is to be enabled, hence-
forth, by
.the humane and seasonable interposi-
tion of the Legislature, to discontinue such fast.
4.• As a sample of cant, Mr. PERCEVALPS notice
'puts forth strong claims to perfection; as a
sample of good sense it is deserving only of
ridicule.

Both Houses of Parliament have adjourned
fill the 3d of February.

The sentence of' the Ex-Miniatera has been at
.length delivered, and they are condemned to

! perpetual imprisonment in France, with forfeiture
Of Aide, rank, and fortune. For the sake of
'humanity we are glad that the lives of these
t!intora have been spared—though even yet,
-,,judging from the present convulsed state of
Patin, h AM) t en. safety is somewhat doubtful—but, for
the sake of justice we might, perhaps, re-
, pet that mercy has been extended to
`them Had they, instead of the people, been
• ,ittecessful in their endeavours to re-esta-
blish despotism, the issue would have been
far different. No petitions for mercy on the
Part of their victims would then have been
Iftionded to. The dungeons would have
been crammed with prisoners; the seaf-.
wottlil have reeked withblood. We
• hope that this act of unparalleled for-
bearance
• bench nation towards their tyrants, when the
latter lay unarmed and prostrate at their fate,
will work a salutary change in the opinions of
the few remaining advocates of despotism
throughout Europe. We hope that they will
never cease to remember, that the first example
of moderation was set by the oppressed towards
the oppressors, not by the oppressors towards
Abe oppressed.

Since writing the above, we have received
accounts from Paris up to nine o'clock on Wed-
nesday evening, being four hours later than those
"ceive4 by the express, which state that the
capital was gradually becoming more tranquil-
and the people hourly more reconciled to
' •thc sentence passed on the Ex-Ministers,

German Papers have been received ; their
°minus, though interesting, especially as re-
Rude Warsaw, are of no particular moment.
The following are extracts :
?kelt 1115 Pol4sll ranwrtraa, Die. 11.—The whole
hingdom of %demi is in a oldest insurrection. In Warsaw
41"4,4" "gaaised, which send their emissaries to
all tie provateee, awl very probably la them pass the
; frontiers. At present we have no news whatever of she
Lithuanian army or front the frontier of Russia. Nye are
evin entertain respecting the fill of Prins Constantino
ail the faithful troops with hint (intimated at 8,000 nun)

as the Vistula was full of ice, and the passage over it very
difficult. The surrender of the fortress of Modlin would be
next to inconceivable, unless we must assume that there
too all was lost.
All the private accounts fron► Warsaw agree that in the
nights from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, Warsaw itself was a prey to
alt the excesses of a licentious populace, eager for revenge
and plunder, who, coining from Praga, spread through
a'l the streets, attacked the houses and magazines con-
nected with the Russian Government, and exceeded in
cruelty and thirst of blood even wh►t has been reported to
us fron► Brussels.
Os the other band there is but one voice respecting the
heroic and energetic conduct of the Commander-in-Chief,
Chlopieki, who with imminent personal danger, opposed
the dreadful anarchy, and saved the lives of many General
and civil officers of rank, who were devoted to death, and
are now in confinement. On the news of the safety of
the Bank and the continuation of the payments, the paper
currency again circulates, and as the interest of the bonds
is paid, their credit is also secured. The equipment and
arming of the people is indeed left to their ipatriotism, as
it is called. Immense stores (for 100,000 men, it is said)
were found in the arsenal. The newCouneil of administration,
the numbers of which have been since changed, and the
whole population, as far as their sentiments appear, show
the greatest respect to every thing belonging to Prussia.
Proposals, which were here and there heard, to revolu-
tionise the Grand Duchy of Posen, met with no attention.
When M. Julius Schmidt, the Prussian Consul at War-
saw, returned to the city after a personal interview with
the Cuoarewitsch, he was received with testimonies of
respect. People are looking with the utmost anxiety for
news from St. Petersburg'', to which city two bold and
prudent men, Prince Lubecki and M. Gutowski, ate to
go as Deputies to claim the fulfilment of the assurances
given by the Emperor Alexander to the Pole* -at the be-
ginning of the first Diet in his first manif, etc.
Valor", Dec. 11.—Count Maison, the new French
Ambassador, is arrived. Count Joseph Metternich, bro-
ther of the Chancellor, died yesterday, after a long and
painful illness.
Dee. 12.—N0 Exchange ; Bank 'Shares, 1,002.
AiUNlCiii Dn. 14.—The Government Journal of yes-
terday contains a proclamation of his Majesty the King of
Bavaria, ordering that the elections of Deputies to the
Estates shall immediately commence, and to terminate in
four weeks, and the result laid before his Alajeaty by the
Itith January next.
" It is our free will," says the proclamation, " that our
authorities shall refrain from any limitation: of the free-
doni of voting, and from any exertion of the Magisterial
influence over the editors, and at the same time check the
illegal insinuations of third persons by a vigilant and ener-
getic execution of the laws. Iu administering the oath to
the electors, they are to be duly reminded by the Commis-
saries of the duty enjoined in the oath, of giving their votes
entirely according to their own conviction, and exclusively
with respect to the general good of the country, without
any external influence."
His Majesty treats that his faithful subjects will give
their votes Only to men known fur their integi ity, patri-
otism, and abilities.

The Journal (le la Belgique states that by
an error of the press it announced that the
whole of the project of law relative to the Senate
had been " rejected," whereas it should have
been " adopted," by a majority of 112 to 66.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
ELSTORE V. FLOWERS. •

Mr. Jam,/ WILLIAMS stated that this was an action
brought by the plaintiff, landlord of the Duke of Clarence
public-house, Leather-lane, to receive compensation in
damages for slanderous words spoken of him by the de-
fendant, who is a clerk to a coach-builder in the neigh-
bourhood. The words used by the defendant, of wltich
the plaintiff complained, and as set forth in the declaration,
were, " You arc a thief, a swindling thief, and 1 C3ll
prove you so." The Learned Counsel stated that the ob-
ject of the plaintiff in bringing the present action was not
for the purpose of putting costs into his pocket, but to
vindicate his character from the fool stain cast upon it by
the defendant. . .

A witness was then examined, who stated that he was
in the coffee-room of the plaintiff's house on the 22d
of February, hi staid very late ; about two o'clock in the
morning triplets heard the. plaintiff charge the defendant
him with giving a bad hili-crown ;hi also heard hint call
the plaintiffs thief, a swindling thief; and aided, that he
was able to prove his words. On the witness being cross-
examined by Sir James Scarlett, he stated that they were
playing at cards at the time the words were uttered, and
that previously the defendant had joked the plaintiff, and
wanted him to "stand a treat" on account of the bad
half-crown.

Lord Tx:cram:flew here stopped the cue, his Lord-
ship observed, that he did not think the words were
spoken under such 'circumstances as would induce,
any person to suppose that the plaintiff meant to
chrge the defendant with a felony, and therefore that the
present action could not be sustained. His Lordship
then directed the plaintiff to be called.—Plaintiff nonstrited.

ERYSEPILAS AT ST. GEORGE'S

HOSPITAL.

On Tuesday night an inquisition was taken at the Turf
tap, Tattersall's-yard, Grosvenor-place, before Mr. Hums,
on the body of Mary Gay, aged 55, who died of erysipelas,
arising out of the following circumstances
Edward Gay, the husband of the deceased, who resides
at Brook-green, Hammersmith, deposed that, in the be-
ginning of October last, he was proceeding through Ken-
sington in a one-horse cart, with the deceased, who
was a laundress, when the deceased, in endeavouring to
alight from the cart, missed her footing, and fell is the
road. She instantly cried out, " Oh, Lord, my thigh is
broken !" and witness, on getting down, found this to be
the case. He procured assistance, and she was conveyed
to the nearest surgeon, who recommended that she should
be taken to St. George's Hospital without loss of time,
and she was accordingly taken there.

Mr. WALTICIC CAARY, house•surgeon of St. George's
Hospital, deposed that the deceased bad received a frac.
ture of the right thigh, which was set, and she went on
well for some weeks, the bone having completely united,
so that she was able to.walk about upon crutches. In the
beginning of last month, however, she was suddenly seized
with erysipelas of the injured limb, large abscesses formed,
attended with a constant discharge, and, under the disease
she gradually sunk, and expired on the 19th instant.
Juror—Another death from erysipelas ! Why we have
had no less than five cases lately where persons lotis died
at this institution from erysipelas, after recovering from
their respective accidents. Surely there must be some-
thing amiss in the building which ought to be rectified.
COKONZR—Prity, Mr. Carey, bow do you account for
the prevalence of this disease? Witness—l know not
how to account for it ; there is a difference of opinion among
medical men upon the subject.
A long discussion here arose among the Jury, when, at
length, the following memorial to the Governors of the
Institution, to be presented by the Coroner, was unani.
mously agreed to, and signed by the Fineman of the Jury
"It being generally known to the Jury that a number
of accitient.cases in St. George's Hospital have terminated
fatally by erysipelas, consider it to be their duty to sub.
mit to tie Governors of the above hospital that a soli.
cient inquiry be made into the causes sf the said disorder
heing'so prevalent in the institution; after the patients
have, according to the evidence of the medical officers, re-
covered from the. effects of their respective accidents."
A verdict of "Died from erysipelas" was then recorded.

Government, it is said, have come to the de-
termination of removing the recruit establishment from
the Bird-cage-walk into Hyde-park, and to let the land on
building leases for a handsome crescent on the vacant
ground in He. denies's-park, between Queen-square and
Buckingham-gste. It will command not only a view of
St. James's park, but the Green-park also. Two hand-
some lodges are to be erected similar to those in Hyde-
park, one at the end of Great George-street, the other
near Buckingham gate.

CAPTAIN SWlNG.—Since his committal to
gaol, Mr. SAVILLIt has been visited by several of the Ma-
gistra+es, by some of whom he has been shown inflamma-
tory notices which have been picked up, bearing the same
signature, and being in the same hand, as those found
upon him and distributed brhint at stradishalh He does
not deny having circulated many such notices, but toys he
did so front the best intentions. He was actuated in his
calling, he nays, by the word of Scripture, which de-
nounces woe to the oppressor; and, in fact, some of his
notices are garnished with the texts froni Holy Writ,
" Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees," &c. ltlr. HA
',Jana is a Methodist, or more properly, perhaps, what is
called a " Ranter." lle has fur some years travelled the
Suffolk road, and dealt with tratlesraen in Suffolk in the
straw-plat line. His residence is Luton, Bedfordshire.--1
He says that be has travelled upwards of 1,200 miles in
the last six weeks, so that his inflammatory circulation has
no doubt been pretty extensive. It will be recollected that
there was a person, who fled in a green gig, detected in
the act of setting fire to some stacks near Cambridge.
Savant denies that he was at Cambridge within the last '
three weeks. He was in this town the day before his
apprehension, and had dropped a notice at Barton, for
the Clergyman of that parish. He denies having been
engaged in any incendiary act. On Monday evioioll his
son arrived, and was admitted to him in gaol. The son is
anxious to give bail, if it may be accepted, ilnd treats the
matter lightly.
