Several Guernsey gentlemen have invited Mr.
Buckingham, the popular lecturer on Palestine, to visit that
island during the summer. Mr. Buckingham requires fifty
pounds to remain five days, and it is proposed to raise that sum
between the Mechanics' Institution and the Temperance So-
cieties.—Jersey Argus.
On Sunday last were interred the remains of John
Lock, a jobbing thatcher at Rainham, who seems to have had
a singular mode of depositing his cash in various parts of his
premises. Since his decease property to the amount of 2001.
has been discovered in different places in his residence, and
forty-one sovereiyns were found in the bed-ticking.—Essex
Herald.

BEAUTIES OF REPRESENTATION.—Lord Mac-
donald was returned for a Cornish borough. The author of
these memoirs, many years afterwards, travelled with him
through Devonshire and Cornwall. On our approach to the
river Tamer, we observed a small town prettily situated on
its banks. I stopped the postboy to inquire the name of the
place, and was answered " Saltash." " Saltash," exclaimed
my uncle, putting down the glass, " I had no idea of Saltash
being so near. I rejoice to see, for the first time, my old
borough. You know I represented it in Parliament."—Sir
J. Sinclair's Memoirs.—The nearest parallel to this is the
story of an Irish Member of Parliament, before the Union,
presenting himself to claim the privilege of free admission,
granted by the courtesy of the English Parliament. An at-
tendant demanded his name ;it was given. What place did
he represent ?; This was a puzzler
.0n my word, I forget,"
said the worthy representative, " but if you will lend me an
Irish Directory, I will find it in a moment." "I am sorry to
refuse you, Sir," said the functionary ; "but we are forced to
be particular, for we have discovered that Barrington the pick-
pocket used to come here as an Irish Member of Parliament."
The following is an extract from a private letter
written to a gentleman, by the lady of an officer of the 80th
Regiment :
" Convict Ship Sarah, at sea, off the Cape,
Feb. 5,1837.

" We have, thank God, been rescued from a dreadful fate.
The convicts had laid a plot to seize the vessel and to murder
us all. The very day was fixed for the dreadful scene, when
one of the conspirators gave information to the surgeon, and
the whole plot was discovered. One of the sailors had entered
into the conspiracy, and is now in irons ; and will, most likely,
be hanged on our arrival. You may suppose the state we were
all thrown into, but such precautions are now taken that there
is no danger to be apprehended for the future. There are 250
of these wretches on board, many of whom are most desperate
characters, and capable of any deed ; but they are flogged for
the least offence, so that, please God, there is no chance or
their succeeding in any fresh designs."
The silent upbraiding of the eye is the very poetry of
reproach ; it speaks at once to the imagination,

Mr. H. HUGHES presented a petition from Oxford, pray-
ing for an equalization of the land-tax.
HUDDERSFIELD ELECTION.
Mr. DUNC 0 MBE presented a petition from the defeated
candidate, complaining of the improper presence of the mili-
tary at that eleetion. On the Hon. Member bringing up the
petition,

The SPE AKER said that the petition could not be con-
sidered in the light of an election petition, as there was no
prayer in it that the election might be declared void.

STANDING ORDERS.

On the motion of Mr. P. THOMSON the following Se-
lect Committee was appointed, to reconsider the Standing
Orders of the House as they regarded private Bills, with a
view to such alterations or amendments as might be deemed
necessary :—Mr. Poulett Thomson, Mr. Shaw Lefevre,
Mr. Robert Palmer, Mr. Evelyn Denison, Mr. Greene,
Sir John Wrottesley, Sir James Graham, Mr. Wilson
Patten, Lord Granville Somerset, Lord Stanley, Mr.
Loch, Mr. Villiers Stuart, Lord Viscount Sandon, and
Mr. Chalmers.

Sir R. MUSGRAVE brought up the Report on the
County Courts (Ireland) Bill.
GREAT PROTESTANT PETITION.

Mr. HAMILTON presented the petition of the Pro-
testants of Ireland of which he had given notice. The pe-
tition was agreed to at one of the largest and most influen-
tial meetings as regarded numbers, wealth, rank, talent, and
respectability, ever convened on any occasion in Ireland.
This single petition was more numerously and respectably
signed than all the petitions put together that had been
presented from Ireland in favour of the abolition of tithes,
Municipal Reform, or all the other revolutionary Minis-
terial measures.—(Cheers.) They prayed for the preserva-
tion of the Constitution in Church and State, for protec-
tion to the Established Church in Ireland, and for security
to the lives and property of the Protestants of that coun-
try. Having thus briefly stated the outline of the petition,
he gave notice that on the 23d of May he should call the
attention of the House more directly to the allegations it
contained.

The petition was then brought up by the Hon. Member
and Sir R. Bateson, who, with great difficulty, carried it
between them, the bulk and shape being somewhat like a
large garden-roller.
NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Mr. ESTCOURT presented a petition from Mr. Cot-
tingbam, an architect, complaining that Mr. Barry, in
some of the alterations lately made by him in his original
plan for the New Houses, introduced improvements taken
From the plan of the petitioner, and praying for inquiry
and redress.

After a short conversation, the petition was ordered to
be referred to the Committee that is to consider the esti•
mates of Mr. Barry's plan.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE prevented a petition, signed by
2,000 persons, from the parish of St. James's, Clerkenwell,
against Church-rates.
Lord EBRINGTON presented a petition from a place
in Devonshire in favour of the Irish Municipal Bill, and
against Church-rates.

- Mr. BORTH WICK presented petitions from Evesham,
and from two other places in Worcestershire, against the
abolition of Church-rates.

Similar petitions were presented by Sir T. FRE-
MANTLE from places in Gloucestershire.
Petitions against Church-rates were presented from Perth,
signed by 2,760 ; and from the parish of St. Bride, London.
Mr. HOLLAND presented a petition from a place in
Derbyshire in favour of the amended Poor Law Bill.
Sir L. PARRY presented a petition from a place in
Wales, complaining that the present clergyman was not
acquainted with the Welsh language.
Mr. YOUNG presented a petition from Scarborough
against the duty on marine insurances, and the present
hours of juvenile labour in factories.
