CLOSING OF THE SWEDISH DIET.

The Diet of the Kingdom of Sweden was closed
on the Bth inst. at Stockholm, when the King ad-
dressed the members as follows : _

" Gentlemen,—Your task is accomplished. In
considering the importance and the multiplicity of
the subjects which have been submitted to your
deliberations, the long space of time which you
have devoted to your task cannot be considered as
too considerable. Few sessions have resulted in a
solution of so many important questions, and there
are few which have prepared decisions of more,
general interest.
"In conformity with the prescriptions of the con-
stitution you have remitted to the next sitting of
the Diet the decision on the project for the reform
of the national representation which I have made
known to you. I flatter myself that,after havitig
calmly and deliberately weighed it, the enlightened
1 opinion of the country will assure the adoption of
' any proposition on this subject.
"As a consequence of one of the changes intro-
duced during the session in the fundamental law •
has been finally decreed that, in case the R.-1 it
should find himself prevented from personallyfling
ing the reins of Government, a plan will bhold.
which will respond better to the n • e adopted
. ea of con-
rrincipi
stitutional monarchy than the interim
hitherto in force. ,ertra regency

Another change of major importance has as-
sured the right of representation in the order of
peasants to funded proprietors belonging to other
classes of society.

“The law on Synods

e liberty accorded to it of
making known its

position. wit develope its action and strengthen
"You
have adopted some projects of a new penal
code, -r a
new maritime code, and of a new law on
the t”
right of hunting, in conformity to the principles
on Which the propositions I have made to you on
these matters were founded. You have approached
with a firm step the great object of general liberty
to trade; and the deliberate attention you have sc•
corded to the laws nn credit as well as to forest laws
will bear its fruit. You have also submitted to me
projects for the improvement of many other branchet
of legislation. I shall make it a duty to devote to
them a conscientious examination.
a The conformity of views between the Govern-
ment and the representation which has generally
marked this Diet has not been equally complete so
far as the customhouse legislation is concerned.
Amongst the number of resolutions submitted to
me by you oa this subject is one which' announces

WESTMINSTER,

A POOR COUNTRYMAN IN LONDON.—Marlin M'Cor-
mack, a young man in the garb of a rustic labourer, was
charged with begging.

John Froset, a policeman of the B division, said that he
found the defendant last night begging at Princes-gate,
Knightsbridge. He saw him accost several people. When
witness spoke to him the defendant said that if ho did not
take him in charge for begging he would have to take him
for something else. He added that he had been waiting
about some time for a policeman.
Mr. Arnold—Do you know him ?
Witness—No, he is a stranger to me.

Mr. Arnold7What have you to say, defendant ?

. •
Dcfeudant—l had no where to go to, even to lie down,
and had not the price of a lodging, so that I was glad to be
taken to the station-house.

Mr. Arnold—You should apply to the workhouse.
Defendant—lf you go there they wont do anything for
you, _ _

Mr. Arnold—Have you tried ?

Lefendant—Yes, I tritd this week at St. James, West-
minster, but it was no use.
Mr. Arnold—Who did you see ?

Defendant—A gentleman at the gate, who would not give
me anything.

Mr. Arnold—You have gone to the wrong person. You
have applied to the parties, I suppose, at the workhouse,
who had no power to do anything for you. You should
have applied to the relieving officer, who is bound by law to
attend to your complaint. I suppose you went to the work-
house and applied to be let in for a night's lodging ?
Defendant— Y es, that is what I asked for, but I did not
get.

Mr. Arnold—Workhouses are not refuges where persons
may go for a night's lodgings, or be taken in at all times.
There are appointed hours for persons to apply for relief,
and those me the times at which you must go, and where
they are bound to relieve you. Where do you come from ?
Defendant—Near Birmingham.

Defendant—Only
Mr. Arnold—What was your object in coming here?
Defendant—To
Mr. Arnold—You can't do that either by begging or
getting into the workhouse.
Defendant—l don't know what else to do.. What am I
to do?

Mr. Arnold—There was no obligation upon you to come
to London, and it was very foolish for you to do so. Every-
body has a right to do the best they can, and lon certainly
had as much right to come to London as I should have to
go to Birmingham, but leaving home for a strange place
with the mere chance of getting work was very foolish.
Where have you tried to get employment?
Defendant—l went to the docks and to Enfield and back.
I don't know what to do. I want somewhere to go to.
Mr. Arnold—l shall remand you until Tuesday to see if
you are known. If your story is true, coming up on this
chance way to London was very unwise.

DISEASED MEAT.

The Solicitor to the Commission, A. J. BAYLIS, Esq.,
brought under the notice of the Court the particulars of a
case of sending diseased meat to Newgate-warket by a per-
son residing near Derby, and he asked for the instructions
of the Cow t thereon.

The solicitor was instructed to take proceedings against
the bender of the seat to London.

FINANCES OF THE COMMISSION.

The principal clerk, Mr. JosErn DAW, read a report from
the General Purposes Committee, stating that they had
examined the treasurer's account for the year ending at
Michaelmas last, and compared them with the several
vouchers, and found them correct. The consolidated ac-
count was overdrawn to the amount of £213,774 12s 7d ; the
main drainage account was overdrawn to the amount of
£1,012 lls 6#d, and on the sewers account there was
£11,873 4s 51d in hand, which balances agreed with the
accounts prepared and kept by the principal clerk.
The report was approved.
SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY.

Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer of health, laid before
the Court his weekly report on the sanatory state of the
City, from which it appeared that 225 houses had been in-
spected during the week, and a list of 50 places was sub-
mitted for sanatory improvement. He likewise reported
that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly in-
spected, and that the officers had condemned 2,6631 b. of
meat as unfit for human food. Nearly all of it was 'from
diseased animals or from animals that had died from natu-
ral causes. Fifty-one births and 51 deaths were reported
during the week. The mortality returns are greatly below
the average for the season, 60 deaths being the number for
the corresponding period of the last eight years. At the
end of last month the weekly number of deaths was 76. It
then declined to 60, and has now fallen to 51. This shows
a satisfactory condition of the public health. The chief
causes of death during the week were as follows :—Phthisis
7, mesenteric disease 2, bronchitis 5, scarlet fever 6, con-
tinued fever 3, croup 1, diptheria 3, measles 2, whooping
cough 1, and erysipelas 1, making together 9 deaths from
tubercular diseases, 5 from inflammatory affections of the
lungs, and 16 from diseases of the zymotic class. Of these
scarlet fever has been the moat fatal.

are recorded many instances of patriotism and en-

of Commander Guerrero, who was sent with a
letter from General Flores to Mosquera. He de-

The trade to-day has been better in tone than might have
been expected from the report from Mark-lane, but to make

JAMAICA.

Little has been done in the business of legisla

tion during the fortnight in consequence of the
heavy weather with which the island has been
visited since the last packet left our shores, and
which prevented the House of Assembly from meet-
ing for several days. It commenced to rain on the
9th, and for 48 hours a heavy downpour continued
without intermission. The rivers and mountain
streams, swollen by the rain, rashed down in im-
petuous torrents, sweeping everything before them.
Houses were washed away, stores and dwellings
inundated and several lives lost. For several days
an entire stop was put to travelling, and for a week
the traffic on the railway was suspended and con-
siderable damage done to the line. Business trans-
actions have been limited. Alewives have been
sold at 245. in cargo ; English butter realises 12d.
to 13d.; coffee realises 50s. to 525. for ordinary;
pimento sales, 1,000 bags at lie. 6d ; sugar has ad-
vanced in consequence of the advance in the Eng-
lish market—sales are made at 18s. to 20s. middling,

DISEASED MEAT.

The Solicitor to the Commission, A. J. BAYLIS, Esq.,
brought under the notice of the Court the particulars of a
case of sending diseased meat to Newgate-market by a per-
son residing near Derby, and he asked for the instructions
of the Court thereon.

The solicitor was instructed to take proceedings againsi
the bender of the meat to London.

FINANCES OF THE COMMISSION.

The principal clerk, Mr. JOSEPH DAW, read a report from
the General Purposes Committee, stating that they had
examined the treasurer's account for the year ending at
Michaelmas last, and compared them with the several
vouchers, and found them correct. The consolidated ac-
count was overdrawn to the amount of £26,774 12s 7d ; the
main drainage account was overdrawn to the amount of
£1,012 lls 61d, and on the sewers account there was
£11,873 4s 51d in hand, which balances agreed with the
accounts prepared and kept by the principal clerk.
The report was approved.
SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY.

Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer of health, laid before
the Court his weekly report on the sanatory state of the
City, from which it appeared that 225 houses had been in-
spected during the week, and a list of 50 places was sub-
mitted for sanatory improvement. He likewise reported
that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly in-
spected, and that the officers had condemned 2,6631 b. of
meat as unfit for human food. Nearly all of it was from
diseased animals or from animals that had died from natu-
ral causes. Fifty-one births and 51 deaths were reported
during the week. The mortality returns are greatly below
the average for the season, 60 deaths being the number for
the corresponding period of the last eight years. At the
end of last month the weekly number of deaths was 76. It
then declined to 60, and has now fallen to 51. This shows
a satisfactory condition of the public health. The chief
causes of death during the week were as follows :—Phthisis
7, mesenteric disease 2, bronchitis 5, scarlet fever 6, con-
tinued fever 3, croup 1, diptheria 3, measles 2, whooping
cough 1, and erysipelas 1, making together 9 deaths from
tubercular diseases, 5 from inflammatory affections of the
lungs, and 16 from diseases of the zymotic class. Of these
scarlet fever has been the most fatal.

WESTMINSTER

A POOR COUNTRYMAN IN LONDON.—Martin M'Cor-
mack, a young man in the garb of a rustic labourer, was
charged with begging.
John Prose; a policeman of the B division, said that he
found the defendant last night begging at Princes-gate,
Knightsbridge. He saw him accost several people. When
witness spoke to him the defendant said that if he did not
take him in charge for begging he would have to take him
for something else. _He added that he had been waiting
about some time for a policeman.
Mr. Arnold—Do you know him ?
Witness—No, he is a stranger to me.
Mr. Arnold—What have you to say, defendant P
Defendant—l had no where to go to, even to lie down,
and had not the price of a lodging, so that I was glad to be
taken to the station-house.

Mr. Arnold—You should apply to the workhouse.
Defendant—lf you go there they wont do anything for
you.

Dir. Arnold—Have you tried ?
Defendant—Yes, T tried this week at St. James, West-
minster, but it was no use.

Mr. Arnuld—Who did you see ?
Defendant—A gentleman at the gate, who would not give
me anything. '

Mr. Arnold—You have gone to the wrong person. You
have applied to the pirties, I suppose, at the workhouse,
who had no power to do anything for you. You should
have applied to the relieving officer, who is bound by law to
attend to your complaint. I suppose you went to the work-
house and applied to be let in for a night's lodging ?

Defendant— Yu, that is what I asked for, but I did not
get.

Mr. Arnold—Workhouses are not refuges where persons
may go for a night's lodgings, or be taken in at all times.
There are appointed hours for persons to apply for relief,
and those me the times at which you must go, and where
they are bound to relieve you. Where do you come from ?
Defendant—Near Birmingham.
Mr. Arnold--When did you come to London?
Defendant—Only last week.
Mr. Arnold—What was your object in coming here?
Defendant—To get work.
Mr. Arnold—You can't do that either by begging or
getting into the workhouse.
Defendant—l don't know what else to do. What am I
to do?

Mr. Arnold--There was no obligation upon you to come
to London, and it was very foolish for you to do so. Every-
body has a right to do the best they can, and Sou certainly
had as much right to come to London as I should have to
go to Birmingham, but leaving home for a strange place
with the mere chance of getting work was very foolish.
Where have you tried to get employment ?
Defendant—l went to the docks and to Enfield and back.
I don't know what to do. I want somewhere to go to.
Mr. Arnold—l shall remand you until Tuesday to see if
you are known. If your story is true, coming up on this
chance way to London was very unwise.

CLOSING OP THE SWEDISH DIET.

The Diet of the Kingdom of Sweden was closed
on the Bth inst. at Stockholm, when the King ad-
dressed the members as follows :
" Gentlemen,—Your task is accomplished. In
considering the importance and the multiplicity of
the subjects which have been submitted to your
deliberations, the long space of time which you
have devoted to your task cannot be considered as
too considerable. Few sessions have resulted in a
solution of so many important questions, and there
are few which have prepared decisions of more
general interest.
"In conformity with the prescriptions of the con-
stitution you have remitted to the nest sitting of
the Diet the decision on the project for the reform
of the national representation which I have made
known to you. I flatter myself that, after having
calmly and deliberately weighed it, the enlightened
opinion of the country will assure the adoption of
any proposition on this subject.
" As a consequence of one of the changes
intro-
duced during the session in the fundamental
has been fi case the Dingnally decreed that, in law, it
should find himself prevented from
plan
Personally hold-
ing the reins of Government, a n Will be adopted
which will respond better to the principles of con-
stitutional monarchy than
the interim regency
hitherto in force.

"Another change of major importance has as-
suredresentation in the order of
of rep
peasants to funded proprietors belonging to other
classes of society.
"The law on
synods opens a new era to the
Swedish Church,
The liberty accorded to it of
making known its wishes and of proceeding, by
means
its of separate deliberations, to the settlement of
most
e)
important
"'it affairs, with the aid of the
Almi
• yi must develope its action and strengthen
Its Position.
" You have adopted some projects of a new penal
code, of a new maritime code, and of a new law on
the right of hunting, in conformity to the principles
on which the propositions I have made to you on
these matters were founded. You have approached
with a firm step the great object of general liberty
to trade; and the deliberate attention you have no,
corded to the laws on cre havesa well as to forest lame
ws
will bear its fruit. You also submitted to ''me
projccts for the improvement of many other branches
of legislation. 1 shall make it a duty to devote to
them a conscientious examination.
,i The conformity of views between the Govern-
meat and the representation which has generally
soeertally
marked this Diet has not been equally ea
far as the customhouse legislation is concerned.
Amonpt the number of resolutions submitted to
me by you on this subject is ono which announce.
