The question was then agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER anoved
the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a
Committee of Supply.
The SPEAKER accordingly left the Chair, and the
Houle resolved itself into a Committee.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD rose, and said, that the
distress of the country was so great, and the declarations
of his Majesty's Ministers were so vague, that he opposed,
in litnine, the grant of one shilling to his Majesty till their
grievances were redressed. He mired, therefore, ",That
this House will not vote any supply to his Majesty, until
the grievances and distress of the people be taken into
consideration and redress be granted."
The CHAIRMAN (Sir A. Grant) objected to the form

of the resolution, as irregular.
Mr. FIUME c nsidered that the motion was regular.
" Before I graft a supply" (said the Noble Lord) " let us
have our grievances redressed."
The resolution was then altered by the Noble Mover,
and stood 89 follows :

" That it is the opinion of this Committee, that no sup—
ply be granted, until the grievances and distress of the
people be taken into consideration, and redress be granted."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not
prepared for this motion. He had understood that it was
to have come on with another motion on Friday. In the
present state of the House, if the Noble Lord thought proper
to press the motion to a division, the effect would be to
delay the rest of the business of the evening. He hoped
the Noble Lord would forego the interruption.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD—I am no party to any
understanding as to any motion on Friday. If Hon.
Members are not present to do their duty to the people, it
it is no fault of mine. Here am Ito do my duty. I shall
divide.

A divi,ion then took place, when there being only 28
Members present (four in favour of the resolution, and 24
against it,) the House, in consequence, adjourned at a
Quarter past Twelve.

Leeches will live, even if frozen up in icc.
During the late frost, a person of oar acquaintance, who
kept some, for surgical purposes, in a small bottle, which
stood in an exposed window, found the water in the vessel
entirely congealed : believing the leeches to be dead, he
let them remain for several days, when, wishing to cleanse
the bottle, he placed it by the fire ; but, on the dissolving
of the ice, they immediately resumed their wonted activity.

On Saturday week a good deal of surprise was
manifested amongst the shopmen of Mr. DAvirs, the tee-
dealer of Philpot-lane, at the appearance of an attorney,
who entered the shop, and approaching Mr. Lowx, one
of the principal persons in whom Mr. DA VIES reposed
confidence, told him that Mrs. BYEIVATICR (Mr. D.'s
mother) was appointed by warrant of attorney to super-
intend the business, and would proceed to act in her old ca-
pacity forthwith. Soon afterwards Mrs. BYIWATEIL her-
self appeared to resume the duties of the situation, bat her
entrance was the signal for a general confusion. The
shopmen, almost to a man, threw offtheir aprons, ran up
stairs for their hats, and disappeared from the premises,
notwithstanding the strong expressions of surprise and in-
dignation uttered by the lady. Many customers were in
the shop at the time.

The following melancholy occurrence took
place last week at Brussels. At a grand entertainment
given at the Botanical Gardens, when the numerous as-
semblage were dancing, the cheerful Irene was changed,
and the company filled with regret aid indignation on
seeing a young man, 22 years of age, receive a blow from
his own father for a very trifling cause. The sense enter-
tained of this act of violence was strongly manifested to the
father by the reception he met with from his friends and
associate,. The young man, naturally of a lively charac-
ter, became suddenly sad and melancholy ; and a similar
scene of indecent outrage being repeated a few eveainlzs
after at another assembly, the son, rather than raise his
hand against his father, left the ball-room, without utter-
ing a word, rushed upon the Boulevard, anti blew out his
brains in despair. His body was found the next mornitiz
by an officer of the customs going his rounds. His whole
family, as well as an interesting young lady who was the
innocent cause of this horrible catastrophe, are overtiihelinoil
with grief. The general indignation has iniince.l the
father to quit the town...-. Galigrienes ifeatenger.
