Viscount MELBOURNE Said that the clause, as proposed
to be amended by the Right Rev. Prelate, would place the
nomination of the Pri,sts the hands of the Commtsmioners.
The noble Viscount, however, then said that he would not op-
posse the amendment.

The Earl of FING AL observed that the parts of the clause
to which this amendment related had been introduced advi-
sedly, and he should be sorry to sec them omitted.
After a few words from► the Earl of WICKLOW,
The Clause, as amended, was ordered to stand part of the
Bill.

Clause 44 was then put, when
The Bishop of EXETER proposed words to the effect that
the Clergy of any persuasion should not give instruction to
persons in the workhouses in the same room in which indivi-
duals of another persuasion were present. Although to prose-
lytise was one of the first duties of a Christian Minister, yet
he did not think it ought to be done in any disengenuous man-
ner; and it was to prevent this that his amendment was di-
rected.—( Hear.)

The clause, as amended, was agreed to, as was also clause4s.
On Clause 46 being put,
Lord FITZGERALD wished to introduce in this part of
the Bill a clause, of which he had spoken on the debate on
going into Committee on the Bill, and which related to the
furnishing of annual reports to the Commissioners with respect
to the state of the hospitals in Ireland, and the extent of relief
afforded under this Bill, in order that if it were found in any
case to be too small they might issue orders for its extension.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said they ware now going
to provide for the poor of Ireland from a public fund, and there
was also a fund in existence, which was administered under the
grand juries. Now, it was impossible for these two funds to
be carried on at the same time without putting them under one
authority, and that authority, in his opinion, should be the
Assistant Commissioner.
After a few words from Lord CA R BE RRY,
The Earl of WICKLOW said there was a strong impres-
sion against this Bill in Ireland ; and if they introduced a
clause giving the Commissioners this sort of controul they
might be compelling the country gentlemen to withdraw their
support from the public dispensaries and hospitals. —( Hear.)
Viscount MELBOURNE thought it strange to introduce
a clause, giving the Commissioners power to do that which the
Secretary of State had not the power of doing,.
After a few words from Lord Fitzgerald, Lord Elletibo-
rough, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and Lord Cloncurry, it
was agreed that the clause should be printed and taken into
consideration on the bringing up of the report.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, obtained leave to
sit again to-morrow (this day), and their Lordships resumed.
The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their
Lordships adjourned at Eleven l'clock.

LITERARY NOVELTIES.-Independently of the
new novel by the author of " The Diary of a Desennuyce," under the
title of "The Woman of the World," fashionable society will pre-
sently also receive still further illustration by the publication of another
novel, called " The Glanville Family," by a lady of rank, whom ru-
mour states to be the wife of a distinguished Parliamentary leader.
Captain Spencer's narrative of his travels in the Western Caucasus, in.
cluding a tour through lmcritia, Mingrelia, Turkey, Moldavia, Gal.
licia, Silesia, Moravia, &c., forming a sequel to his travels in Circassia,
is to be published, we understand, in a few days by Mr. Colburn ; as
well as Mr. G. Bennett's " Pedestrian Guide through North Wales,"
illustrated by twenty etchings, by Alfred Clint. Lastly, the cultivators
of roses will hear w ith pleasure of the appearance of Mrs. Gore's long
promised " Rose Fancier's Manual," comprising an account of the cul-
ture and propagation of roses, with a descriptive catalogue of 2,500
varieties.

ABUSES OF FRANKING.—The abuses of frank-
ing have been noticed by Ministers themselves in Parliament. To have
a Member of Parliament in a large firm in London is often a saving of
9.1. sterling a day, 7301. a-year. A Member receives fifteen and sends
out ten double or treble letters each day, which, as the franks will always
be used for the most distant letters, and more than 2s. on an average,
each double letter gives a result nearer a thousand a-year than the sum
we have mentioned, and as they will often cover bills of exchange, each
of which would be a double letter, the estimate is not exaggera* ed.
Many bankers, it is said, hire a Member's privilege to frank their letters.
The following fact we have on good authority :—Application was made
before noon one day at a banking establishment for the payment of a
money order. The bankers, without assigning a reason, hesitated, and
asked for a delay of an hour. The applicant, infcrring that the house
was about to stop payment, insisted on immediate compliance with his
demand, which compelled the bankers to admit that they had not yet
received their letters from the West.end, which contained their instruc_
Lions. A frank may be redirected several times, and thus save several
postages. Several of the clerks and functionaries of the Government
have powers of franking unlimited, tither by weight or bulk, and
haunches of venison have been known to be franked, and one of these,
we call him the Hon. Franklin Gofree, franked a grand pianoforte to one
of his fair cousins.—London and Westminster Review.

ENGLISII CHURCHYARDS.—In Britain ci
for the dead is not generally shown by the introduction of flowers ever
their graves; but the practice prevails in some places throughout the
country, more especially in Wales, and it is not unfrcquent in the me.
tropoistan and other cemeteries. Perhaps it ought to be commended
and encouraged, as the frequent recollection of deceased friends has a
tendency to sober the mind, and cultivate the affections of the living,
In every part of Germany, where the inhabitants are in the habit of cul-
tivating flowers on the graves of their friends, or even of visiting these
graves annually on a certain day, and decorating them, the inhala.tanto
arc a reflective and very humane and amiable people; for example, at
Munich. The introduction of flowers, therefore, in church-yards,
where they are planted over the graves by the relations of the deceased,
is a very different thing from their introduction in the margins of plan-
twions of trees and shrubs, as is done in some of our public cemeteries,
its imitation of shrubberies, to the utter neglect, as we think, of appro-
priate character and expression. Bearing in mind, therefore, the three
principles of simplicity, order, and neatness, as guides in laying out
churchyards, we shall next proceed with the details.—Suburb.in
Gardener.
THE FRENCH COURT IN 1780.--" But let us
turn awhile from those scenes of revelry, from those gorgeous assem-
blies where wealth was lavished with a reckless hand, where profusion
and luxury abounded, even to satiety—where the cup of pleasure was
quaffed till its votaries were bewildered with delirium of enjoyment, and
lot us behold the source whence came the means to supply those costly
banquets. And what do we see but an impoverished country, a peasantry
in the last stages of deprivation and misery, by the people being so op-
pressively and injudiciously taxed, that the cultivator, on whom the
burden principally fell, could scarcely, even by his hart Learned labour,
obtain a miserable sustenance, the major part of his produce being ab-
sorbed by the exactions of the state? An English author who travelled
in France at that period states, that he haul seen a plough drawn by a
wre tiled horse, a cow, an ass, and a goat, whilst a peasant, without shoes
or stockings, guided it, as a half-naked urchin was endeavouring to
whip his team forward."—Madame Tussaud's Memoirs.
The following instance of the sagacity of a dog is
given in a letter from St. Omer : —An old woman, who had been em-
ployed for some days in digging sand from one of the pits from a ne4h-
bouring heath, was suddenly buried by the fall of a qu..ntity of sand from
the side of the pit. Her dog, which was with her, immediate'y con.-
menced to scrape the sand away with his paws, and Pat succe ded in
disengaging her head when assistance arrived, and she was saved.
