OLD STANDING ORDERS OF THE

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

.illidnight, in Parliamentary matters at least, is now
considered an earlier hour than noon two centuries ago.
In the House of Commons, last week, Mr. Hume was
understood to have obtained a !atomise from Ministers that
no Money Bill should be brought before the House after
twelve (at night). It will be seen that the Standing Or-
ders which we quote below, from a small volume printed
in the last century, forbids all business, of whatever de-
scription, after twelve in the morning :
" 1614, May 17.—Order, That this House shall sit
every day at seven o'clock in the morning, and enter into
the great business at eight o'clock, and no new motion to
be made after twelve.

" 1641.—Ordered, That all the Members who shall
come to the House after eight o'clock pay one shilling ;
and that, if any Member shall forbear to come for the
whole day, he shall pay fire shillings, to be disposed of as
the House shall think fit, •and the Serjeant is to gather in
the money.

" 1642.—Ordered, That whosoever shall not be at
prayers every morning shall pay one shilling to the poor;
a box to be prepared, and set up at the door for this pur-
pose, and the burgesses of Westminster are to take care
that the money be duly paid.'
" 1647.—Ordered, That as soon as the clock strikes
twelve Mr. Speaker do go out of the Chair, and the House
shall rise ; and that in going forth no Member shall stir
until Mr. Speaker go before."

e Let the Burgesses look to this.

DANGER OF A COLD.

The following paragraph is extracted from the
able lectures of Mr. Thomas Alcock—it describes
the progress of that common but frequently dan-
gerous disease, a cold :
RESPIRATION.—The importance of a function
without which life cannot be supported, even for
a few minutes, might almost seem to be too ob.
vious to require elucidation. The diseases affect-
ing the organs subservient to this function, are as
frequent and dangerous as any that form the sub-
ject of medical investigation, and require accurate
observation and careful induction. The variety
of symptoms, according to the seat or intensity of
the malady, must have struck every observer
whose opportunities have been considerable. How
different are the indications of disease in the lungs
from those affecting the larynx; and yet, difficult
as it may at first appear, how near an approxima-
to the true state of these organs may be attained,
even in the living body, when the mind of the
observer is adequately prepared for observation !
I may mention, as materials for thinking, the
symptoms and state of the parts in inflamma-
tions of the larynx—of the trachea—of the
lining or mucous membrane of the lungs—of the
substance of the lungs—and of the investing mem-
brane or pleura. Each of these has its peculiar
signs; frequently, hOwever, the various parts are
simultaneously and successively implicated. What
is more common than for inflammation to occur,
first affecting the lining of the nostrils, and pro-
ducing sneezing and watery secretion; then the throat
becoming affected ; then the larynx and trachea,
cough supervening to the irritation of these parts ;
and subsequently the inflammation extending
to the living membrane of the lungs throughout its
whole extent, attended by a copious secretion of
mucous or of puriform fluid, which is usually ex-
pectorated ? In mild cases, when under the favour-
able circumstances of temperature, diet, &c. the ex-
pectoration diminishes, and the patient recovers.
How often, on the contrary, under the unfa-
vourable influence of disordered general health,
after exposure to cold or other hurtful causes,
do aggravations ensue; the secretion increasing,
so as to fill up the air-cells, and passages,
and thereby preventing that change of the blood
which is essential to the support of 1;fe! Thus
the patient sinks, livid, cold, arid suffocated ; dis-
section affording demonstrative proof of the con-
dition above described. This state does not,
although the air-passages, &c., be filled with pus,
necessarily imply ulceration ; for it often takes
place when no ulceration can be discovered on the
most careful examination. Again, how different are
the symptoms which characterize ulceration about

the larynx (for very nearly similar effects are pro-
puced by ulcers in the immediate vicinity as when
the larynx itself is the seat) and that destroying the
substance of the lungs,.as in consumption ! how
speedily fatal the former, unless relieved by art ;
how gradual and lingering the latter ! The same
difference in progress may be observed between the
acute inflammations of the larynx or trachea, which
sometimes terminate life in a few hours after their
accession; and the chronic inflammations existing
for years, and commonly called asthma." 4
" Many of the cases called asthma are dependent upon
enlargement of the gre.►t blood-vessels, which press me-
chanically upon some part of the organs of respiration.

IKEY SoLomoNs.--A messenger arrived by
the Lady of the Lake, with a warrant from the Secre-
tary of State for the apprehension of the notm ions IKEY
FoLomoNs, who had done us the honour of making choice
of this island for his residence. The warrant was put in
force the next day, when kin- was lodged in gaol, where,
we understand, he is carefully watched, until he embarks
for England, there to abide the course of law.—Hobart-
town Paper, Nov. 6.
