Mr. O'CONNELL then moved the omission of the.

that in a very short time upwards of half a million of pro-

Colonel THOMPSON wished it to be satisfactorily e;.-

Mr. LEFROY gave the Hon. Member the necessary
explanation, and said that he thought the proposition of the

Lord HATHERTON presented a petition from Sud-
bury, praying that small tenements might be rated upon the
landlords.
BUSINESS OF PARLIAMENT.
Lord BROUGH A M,'with reference to the Committee
which he had moved for last night, begged to say that some
of the words had been omitted in the order. The Com-
mittee appeared to be to enquire into the state of the busi-
ness before the House, and he now moved that the order
be discharged, for the purpose of having it correctly entered.
The motion having been agreed to, the Committee was
appointed, and the House adjourned to Thursday.

Nations are not ruined by wars ; for convents an:l
churches, palaces and cities are not nations. The Messenians,
and Jews, and Araucanions, saw their houses and temples
levelled with the pavement : the mightiness of the crash gave
the stronger mind a fresh impulse, anJ it sprang high above
the flames that consumed the last fragment. The ruin of a
country is not the blight of corn, nor the weight and impe-
tuosity of hailstones; it is not the inundation nor storm, it is
not pestilence or .famine : a few years, perhaps a single one,
may cover all traces of such calamity ; but that country is too
surely ruined, in which morals are lost irretrievably to the
greater part of the rising generation.—Lander.

THE CITY OF THE SULTAN.—Miss Pardoe has
completely eclipsed Lady Wortley Montagu by this spirited
and truly extraordinary production. "We have followed her,"
says the Court Journal, "at once thrilled and excited, from
the regal hall, whose gilded dome is poised upon piilars of por.
phyry, , to the mad house, whose cells echo with the clanking. of
fetters—from the marble-lined mosque of St. Sophia, to the,boat-
man's mud-built hovel—from the subterranean cisterns of Con
stantinople to the cloud-enveloped summit of Mount Olympus.
In her delightful society we have feasted with Pachas and con -
versed with Patriarchs —aossipped with deep-eyed Circassian
beauties, and bowed beneath the spell of Georgian loveliness,
we have loitered away the sunny hours of summer in the ' Val-
l•y of Sweet Waters,' and gallopped over the plain of Broussa.
Miss Pardoe has left nothing unobserved, and she has produced
a work as instructive and amusing as it is curious."

The remains of the great pantomimist, Grimaldi,
were Monday afternoon interred in the burial-ground of
Pentonville Chapel. The funeral was private, and extremely
plain. The hearse was followed by two mourning coaches, in
which were Mr. Richard Hughes, one of the proprietors of
Vauxhall, whose sister was Mr. Grimaldi's first wife ; Mr.
Dixon, proprietor of Sadler's Wells Theatre ; Mr. Arthur,
cousin of the deceased; Mr. Day us, the treasurer of Sadler's
Wells Theatre; Mr. Norman, the pantomimist ; Mr. Wells,
Mr. Lawrence, and three other friends. As it had not been
anticipated that the funeral would take place before Wednes-
day, there were very few persons in the churchyaid, and amid
them only two professional friends of poor Grimaldi. His
grave was exceedingly deep, and is just at the foot of that of
Charles D.bdin (son of the celebrated lyrist), to whom Gri-
maldi was indebted for almost all the songs with which he ito
often provoked the.mirth. of the metropolis. A vast number
of the panttheitnes in which Grimaldi appeared were invented
also by poor Charles, and now actor and author share a few
feet of earth between them. Mr. Grimaldi has left his shares.
in Sadler's Wells to Mr. Hughes; his plate to the daughter
of that gentleman, whom he had not seen from iDfancy. His
personal property, including about 7001. in the funds, house-
hold furniture, &c. &c., to Mrs. Bryant, his sister ; 501. to
his housekeeper, arid 25/., each, to his friends—Dayus and
Norman.

CAPTAIN MA RRYAT.—Our readers may prepare
.C..2r another literary treat from the pen of this distinguished
novelist. His " Suarley-yow ; cr, the Dog Fiend "is to appear
on Saturday next. It has been well remarked of this eminent
writer that in the power of presenting life as it is, he seems
to stand alone among the writers of the age; but in this new
work it seems that the mysterious is to be blended with the
simple and the real—at all events, of this the ruder may be
fully certain, that, from the first leaf to the last, a work of
Captain Marryat's is sure to be read with the greatest pleasure.

PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS,

ASSURANCE CO OPANIES,&c. &c. &c.

During the whole of Sunday and 'Monday the inhabi-
tants of Woolwich and its ‘icinity have been involved in
the greatest excitement, in consequence of a report which
was industriously circulated that several civilians had been
zburdeted by a party of the military st.ationed at the bar-
rack; at Woolwich, and that so.ne of them were appre-
hended, and were to be examined before the Magistrates.
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, crowds of persons as-
sembled in the neighbourho A of the Castle Tavern, High-
street, where the Magistrates hold their Courts, and the
utmost curiosity and interest were manifested.
At one o'clock, Sir John Webb, Sir Thomas Wilson,
and William Stacey, Esq., took their seats on the Bench,
when John Mines and Charles Hancock, kthlctic fellows,
belonging to the 52d and
.102 d companies (d. the :Marines,
the latter exhibiting a broken jaw and a tremendoui black
eye, were brought front the watchhouse ; and several others
coneerned in the outrage were brought from the guard-
house under a strong military and police escort. The
two former were handcuffed. On being placed at the bar,
they were charged by James Baker, a young man, a shoe-
maker, whose arm was in a sling, with having assaulted
him, and stubbed him with a bayonet, with intent to mur-
der him.

The prosecutor resides at No. 1, Grove, Woolwich ; on
Saturday night lest, about twelve o'clock, he was at the
Duke on Horseback public-house, High-street, Woolwich,
when Thomas Still, a young man, came in with his eye
'dreadfully cut, and said th It he had been ill-used by some
marines ; witness and four or five others left the house, and
on their arrival near the-Mitre public-house, they found se-
veral marines and sailors fighting ; witness was standing by
quietly, when we of the marines came up and said, " This
is one of the --," and with that he made a blo.v at him,
and closed, when they fell down together, and he was sur-
rounded
by others, who beat him with their fists, sticks,
kicked him, end jumped upon his body, and he would have
been murdered had not one of the Rifle Brigade come to
his assistance. When witness got up he ran away, on
which he was pursued by one of the marines with his
drawn bayonet, and he made a thrust at him with it, and
stabbed him through the fleshy part of the right arm above
the elbow ; witness ran a short distance bleeding profusely
until he fell from loss of blood, and he was eventually car-
ried to a surgeon's, who dressed the wound.
Sir John Webb—how many of the marines wore there?
Witness—There were twelve or upwards, all with their
bayonets out.
Sergeant Meredith, Johnson, of the Rifle Brigade, be-
tween twelve and two o'clock on Sunday morning heard
that there was a riot in the street, and ho sent some pf tl4o
soldiers and secured eight of the marines in the guard-
house ; it w4g a regular fighting row ; he saw spots of
blood on the prisoners' bayonets.
James Poison, a private in the 11:11e Brigade, between
twelve and one o'clock on Sunday morning. was nu aquai
when he saw a marine in the street very sick k a sailor
passing-by sgjd, " You stupid —, what are you doing
here at this time o' night ?" The marine made a low re-
ply, and the sailor struck hint ; they fought for ti ghort
time, and a body of marines and sailors assembled together
and fought = the marines assaulted persons indiscriminately
without cause, and kieke4 RDd jumped upon them ; witness
begged of them for God`s sake not 14 kW Op people, and
had be not interfered murder would have been committed ;
Baker eamo along, and said he was stabbed ; he was
bleeding exceedingry ; could not say who stabbed him.
Edward Footman, Thomas Kidman, William Witham,
James Coles, and William Selms, marines, conceived that
the prisoners and themselves were ill-used.; they did not see
bayonets used by the priserier4,
Sergeant-Major Chapman spoke well af

Monday, betWefll two and three o'clock in the
atLorn9on, as some labourers were passing along Battersea-
fields, near the Queen's Head public-louse, they observed thp
body of a man lying upon the ground, partly in the read and
partly on the footpath. At first they supposed him to be
asleep, but on going close to him a dreadful sight presented
itself. The head and face were completely Queered with
clotted blood, and he was qui:e dead. An alarm was imme-
diately given, and the nvighbourE ran to the spot, and the de-
ceased was recognised to be a man named William Purday, a
labourer, residing at Battersea. lie had been observes! work.
ing in the piece of ground celled Latchmore a very short time
before, and appeared in very good health. How he came in
the position in which he was found remains a mystery, but it
is supposed that while at work lie had over-exerted himself in
some manner and had broken a blood-vessel, and was endea
vouring to get home, when he fell, and waa literally suffocated
in the blood that issued from his mouth. The poor man's
spade, which was also covered with blood, was lying at a short
distance from him,- and a small bag, containing some articles
of food, was clenched firmly in his left hand. Upon further
examination, a trace of blood was distinctly perceptible the
whole distance from the field whore the deceased was at work
and w:iere his body was found.—The body awaits a Coroner's
Inqu set.
During the American war, whilst Colonel Bur-
goyne commanded at Cork, he saw a corpulent soldier among
the spectators on parade, whom he addressed. " Who are
you, Sir? You must be drilled twice a-day to bring down
your eorpulenev. Who are you, Sir ?" " Please your Ho-
nour," replied Pat, " I sin the skeleton of the b!li Regiment
of Foot, who have just marched over from America." The
fact was so, for such was the carnage of the disastrous war, that
only this fat soldier and Captain Webb returned to Europe out
of an entire regiment that went to America.
The foundation of domestic happiness is faith in
the virtue of woman ; the foundation of political happiness,
is confidence in the integrity of man ; the fouedation of all
happiness, temporal and eternal, is reliance on the gooduess
of God.-Lander. -
A few days ago, six persons in the township of
Clayton, were conversing on various subjects, and one of them
asked the reason whv some clouds which were in a south east
d:rection appeared bright on the tops ; and another of the
party answered that it v. as owing to the sun shining upon
them. This led to some discussion as to how far distant each
individual considered those clouds to be ; and each man had
a slip of paper given him to write his opinion of the distance.
The answers were as follows person 4i miles ; 2nd
2,000; 3rd 40; 4th 100, .sdi 3; and 6th 10.—Flal:fir.z.Express.
Madame de Stael somewhere says that nil virtue
consists in self-sacrifice. Abstract from this aphorism its mo-
nasticism and you leave it a golden maxim. Let us weigh in
this balance the public virtue of the metropolitan prelate. A
Commission was appointed last year for the better regulation
of the revenues, &c. of the Church of &wider]. It was coin-
posedeof lay-Lords and Commoners and Bishops. But in this
lump there was a most active leaven. Bishop Blonifield was
appointed a member, and " the Commission" may now be re-
garded as only another title for the Lord Bishop of London.
His first step was modestly to limit his oven income to ten
thousand a-year ! In addition to this, while other Bishops are
seizing prebendal patronage, he seizes summarily on fifteen of
die best livings at:ached to die Cathedral of St. Paul.—Lei-
cester Mercury.
On Sunday week whilst Towerson Maclean, sex-
ton at St. Nicholas's church, in this town, was tolling the bell
for afternoon service, by some unexplained means the cord of
the rope got firmly entangled round his thigh, and lie was
suddenly pulled up to the roof of the sacred edifice, a height of
from twenty to twenty-two fret. On the return of the wheel
of the bell the rope became slack, and the poor man was
swiftly dashed to the floor with frightful velocity ; another turn
of the a heel, and the unfortunate ringer was again jerked to
the ceiling, and again he descended with terrific violence. Here
some persons happily came to the relief of the sufferer, and
relieved him from his perilous predicament. He was in a
state o(insensibility at the time, and it was found that he bad
received very severe injuries about the neck and shoulders, but
ins head had providentially escaped being much hurt. He
still continues to suffer from the effects of the singular and un-
toward accident, but we are glad to learn that he is now in a
state of convalescence.-IFhisehueen Ilerald.
1100 UERY.—Bevond question all roguery is mere
folly in the end. It often attains the object which it has
sought, but it very seldom derives what was expected front the
attainment of that end. There are few so fallen as really to
applaud themselves for even successful roguery. They j may
pretend to do it, but in secret they despise themselves ; and
what a wretched position that is t To despise ours-If, and to
live in dread of being found out, and despised by others--
what can be more wretched ? Yet this is certainly the fate of
nineteen-twentieths of those who play the rogue.
The Faubourg St. Honore has just been the
theatre of a tragic scene. Mme. L., when very young, waa
the constant playmate of a youth named IL Their juvenile
friendeliip in the course of years grew into a stronger attach-
ment. At the ago of gn, B. was obliged to go into the country
for si veral months. On his return lie found that his fair
friend had been induced to marry anetisar, Their intimacy
was renewed, and their former passion revived. A length-
ened absence of the husband unfortunately afforded a too
favourable opportunity for its guilty indulgence. At last M.
L. announced by letter his approaching return. Thia threw
the lovers into despair, and they resolved not to be separated
but by death. flaying seat away all the household, they, un
Monday last, shut thernicivc2 up, and having procured and
lighted several charcoal braziers, accorupiia44 their purpose
by suffocation.
