House a question of privilege. He said be knew but one
custom respecting the attendance of Members of the
House on Committees of the House. He had always un-
derstood those Committees were open to the attendance
of Members of Parliament during their deliberations. He
understood that the members of the Irish Poor-law Com •
mittee, badolsome to a resolution to prevent the attend'
!Ince. of- Members. of Parliament, who were not members

IRISH RETURNS.

Mr. A. STAFFORD, in the absence of the Secretary
for Ireland, wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet the
Chancellor of the Exchequer a question of some
importance to Ireland. It related to certain gross inac-
curacies in the returns which had been presented to the
House on the subject of Irish distress. In these returns
there were no less than seven inaccuracies of simple

GENERAL RATE IN IRELAND.
Sir JOHN WALSH asked the First Lord of the
Treasury whether it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to introduce a Bill to empower them to
levy a general rate throughout Ireland in aid of the
poor's-rate, without waiting for 'the production of any
evidence on that subject from the Committee on the
Irish Poor-law.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Government did
not intend to introduce any measure on the subject
until the Committee had made their report.
PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL

On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the House went
into Committee on this Bill.
On the first clause being read,
Mr. V. SMITH rose to propose an amendment, to the
effect that it is expedient to aticßish all oaths save
those of fidelity and allegiance. He said he was per-
fectly ready to 41114,, that there;,should be no disquali-
fication on the score'df religittn ro' the, holding of civil'

BADEN.

The Cologne Gazette has the following, under
date of Carlsruhe, 18th:—
" We receive reports from all sides announcing a Re-
publican rising. It appears, however, that the demo-
crats are desirous of waiting for some important event
which may give them a chance of success, but in order
not to lose time, they continue to organize their measures.
What has just taken place at Besancon is an evident
proof of it. The political refugees were not well agreed,
and, moreover, they were without the means of exis-
tence. They had come to a resolution to disperse, but
M. Heinzen hastened to the spot to dissuade them from
so doing. He succeeded by holding out a hope that a
movement would soon take place. Accounts from Swit-
zerland announce a movement for the 2d of March; but
the news is scarcely more probable than is the account of
a great popular meeting, which is, it is said, to take place
at Morgentheim, the frontier town of Wurtemberg, in
order to march on Stuttgardt. The Central Governnient
of Frankfort will, perhaps, decide on sending fresh troops
to Manheim and Heidelberg. The new recruits arrived
at their destination without any obstacles; they will be
kept on duty until the end of May."

DEATH OF BERNARD BARTON.—We regret to an-
nounce the death of Bernard Barton, the philanthropic
Friend and poet, which took place suddenly, at Wood-
bridge, on Monday last. Mr. Barton appeared as wall as
usual on that day, and somewhat more cheerful; in the
evening, Mr. Brook, a friend, was sitting conversing with
him and his daughter, when Mr. Barton, it is suppose d not
feeling quite well, took a candle and went to his room,
and soon after rang the bell for his servant, who, on en-
tering the room, found him reclining in an easy chair
p❑nting for breath . Miss Barton and Mr. Brook ran
up stairs, and at once sent for his medical attendant,
who arrived only in time to see him breathe his last.
Affection of the heart was the cause of his death.—Esser
Standard.

DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE WAR-
REaDEn, BART.—This well-known Baronet expired on Wed-
nesday evening last at his residence in Upper Berkeley-
street, Portman-square, after I,n illness of thirteen days'
duration, aged 68. The deceased was son of the third
Baronet by his marriage with Miss Blair. In 1822 he became
a member of the Privy Council. He wes a deputy-lieutenant
of Haddingtonshire in which county, as well as in that of
Bucks, he had considerable property.

out of the head, money out of the pocket, wine out of
the bottle, elbows out of the coat, end health out of the
body.

THE WAR IN THE PIINJATJB:

Mr. G. THOMPSON said he had a question to put to
the Noble Lord at the head of the Treasury, when
The SPEAKER intimated that the Noble Lord (Lord
J. Russell) was not present.
Mr. G. THOMPSON would then address himself to
the Right Hon. Baronet the President of the Board of
Control, and was proceeding to make some remarks, when
The SPEAKER again interposed, to say that he
could only state the circumstances which had induced
the question, and then proceed to his inquiry.
Mr. G. THOMPSON then said he wished to ask
whether, as her Majesty's Ministers have deemed it
their duty to lay before the House a Blue Book of 378
pages, relating to a rebellion in the island of Ceylon in
July last, they de not consider it equally their duty
to lay before the House the papers relating to
the war in the Punjaub, described by her Majesty in her
gracious Speech from the Throne, as a '• rebellion," which
war has been going on since April, 1848, and has neces-
sitated the calling of an army into the field of not less
than 120,000 men, including camp followers, and in-
♦olving an extraordinary expenditure of not less than
fire millions sterling a year. _ _

Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said that the question intended
for his Noble Friend, but which had been put to him,
was couched in an unusually argumentative form.
With regard to the question itself he must be allowed
to remark that the rebellion in Ceylon had terminated,
but that in the Punjaub was still going on ; and it was
not usual to lay the papers before the House till the
affair to which they related had been concluded. As
to there being an army of 120,000 men, besides camp fol.
lowers, of :whom he knew nothing, ho must tell the
Hon. Gentleman that the army was not composed of
half that number, while be trusted tho information of
the Hon. Gentleman as to the expense of the rebellion
was not correct.

Mr. G. THOMPSON gave not;co that on Monday he
should move un address to the Crown for the production
of the parrs, and then he would take an opportunity
of justifying the question he had just put.
RAJA OF SATTARA.

Mr. HUME wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet
what provision had been made for the family of the late
R9ja of Sattftra.
.Sir J. C. lIOBLIOUSE had already stated the
amount, while the reason it Ind not been paid was
simply that the legal representatives a the Raja had re-
fused to receive it.(flear and laughter.)

Mr. STAFFORD asked the Right Hon. Gentleman
if he would promise to have the report amended and laid
again on the table of the House?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Hon. Gentleman had merely assumed that it was wrong;
but if he could point out any inaccuracy he would have
it amended. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was
not now prepared to say whether correct or false.
Mr. STAFFORD said ho should have no difficulty in
proving that 6d. and nothing did not make 4d.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
there might, perhaps, be a mistake in the printing, and
the 0 might have been substituted for lod., in which
cases there would remain 4d.
GENERAL RATE IN IRELAND.
Sir JOHN WALSH asked the First Lord of the
Treasury whether it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to introduce a Bill to empower them to
levy a general rate throughout Ireland in aid of the
poor's-rate, without waiting for ithe production of any
evidence on that subject from the Committee on the
Irish Poor-law.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said tho Government did
not intend to introduce any measure on the subject
until the Committee had made their report.
PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL.

On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the souse went
into Committee on this Bill.

On the first clause being read,
Mr. V. SMITH rose to propose an amendment, to the
effect that it is expedient to abolish all oaths save
those of fidelity and allegiance. He said he was per-
fectly ready to admit, that there should. be no disquali-
fication on the score of religion to the holding of civil
offices, and therefore, on the present occasion he was

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. is order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injarious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less hijury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate,
are pioductive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
han any ether to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and Of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that those complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the eaases of
disease, !sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inia-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely tot.he treatment of these diseases.

BADEN.

The Cologne Gazette has the following, under
date of Car:sruhe, 18th:—
" We receive reports from all sides announcing a Re-
publican rising. It appears, however, that the demo-
crats are desirous of waiting for some important event
which may give them a chance of success, but in order
not to lose time, they continue to organise their measures.
What has just taken place at Besancon is an evident
proof of it. The political refugees were not well agreed,
and, moreover, they were without the means of exis-
tence. They had come to a resolution to disperse, but
M. Heinzen hastened to the spot to dissuade them from
so doing. He succeeded by holding out a hope that a
movement would soon take place. Accounts from Swit-
zerland announce a movement for the 2d of March; but
the news is scarcely more probable than is the account of
a great popular meeting, which is, it is said, to take place
at Morgentheim, the frontier town of Wurtemberg, in
order to march on Stuttgardt. The Central Government
of Frankfort will, perhaps, decide on sending fresh troops
to Manheim and Heidelberg. The new recruits arrived

ELECTION OF BRIDGEMASTER
FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.
Elections like these are apt to create as much excite-
ment as political contests ; but they are of a very differ-
ent nature. Each candidate stands upon his own personal
character, his tried integrity, and the opinion his friends
and fellow-citizens have of him, apart from all party
considerations. Of course, feelings and friendships in.
fluenco voters, but those sentiments are founded on that
approval of the individual in whose favour they are
manifested, which nothing but honourable conduct and
unquestionable respectability and fitness for the office
can establish. Mr. George Ledger, it is believed, is
pretty sure to obtain a considerable majority. lie has
been is candidate upon a previous occasion, when he
registered more votes than had been polled by any iic-
cessful candidate who had come forward since 1822.
He lost upon the last occasion by a small minority; but
he had 700 fictitious votes against him, as might have
been proved (and, to some extent, was proved, i❑ a court
of justice), but for the Act of Parliament, which only
allowed him fourteen days for a scrutiny of 5,000 votes,
which could not be accomplished in that time, to say
nothing of the cost. The following are the results of
previous elections:—

HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 23.

TRANSPORTATION.
The Duke of RICHMOND asked whether it was in-
tended entirely to break up the female convict establish-
ment on board the Anson, and to distribute the convicts
to the colonies?
Earl GREY said the establishment of the Anson was
entirely the act of the Executive Government of the day,
and he did not think the Government would be justified
in delaying the distribution of the female convicts
had all on
board the Anson to the colony. The authorities
reported that the establishment on board the
.Anson had
failed in accomplishing the object for which
it had been
established, and had recommended that the convicts
should at once be distributed in the colony. Since that
report had been received another bad been received
recommending that the establishment on board the Anson
should be immediately broken up. They would there-
fore be distributed among the colonists, and a peniten-
tiary would be established at Ross in the centre of the island
for the reception and reformation of refractory female con-
victs. It was impossible to keep up proper discipline on
board a crowded hulk; and he was, moreover, of opinion
that all reformatory efforts as far as regarded convicts
should be made in this country before their deportation.
Lord STANLEY asked if the Noble Earl had called
upon the superintendent of the Anson for any explana-
tion he had to offer, and he should also like to know the
grounds stated by the persons making the inspection of
the Anson, on which they grounded the report?
Earl GREY referred the Noble Earl to the reports
themselves, which were in the library. lie bad not re-
ferred those reports to the female superintendent of the
Anson, because there was no charge.brought against her
management.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 27th contains
the following of ci2l paragraph :
" Tho 'Coiner Zeitung, No. 281, asserts that it can
state on good authority that Austria formally protested,
a few days ago, against the convocation of the Parlia •
meet, and had threatened a forced intervention. We are
authorised to declare that no protest of the kind exists,
either with the threatened intervention or without it,
consequently it is also impossible, as the Kolner Zeitung
pretends, to know that any reply thereunto can have been
sent."
The German Reform also declares that all the
intelligence which was communicated to a great num-
berof the journals by the telegraph, and also by the
ordinary mode of communication, relative to the
Austrian note, are utterly without foundation.

QUARANTINE NOTICE.
Spanish Consulate General, 37, Old Broad street,
Nov. 27, 1849.
Sir,—l have received from his Excellency the Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs of her Catholic Ma-
jesty, a copy of the following official communication ad-
dressed to the members of the diplomatic body residing
at Madrid; with which I beg to acquaint you, for the
general information.
" With the object of preserving Spain, as far as pos-
sible, from the invasion of the cholera, her Majesty the
Queen has been pleased to dictate the following dispo-
sitions, which I hasten to communicate to you, for the
information of your Government:—
" In case of the quarantine on vessels proceeding
from infected or suspected ports being reduced or sup-
pressed in any foreign port, in such a manner as that
the regulations there observed should not be in accord-
ance with the rules observed in the ports of the Penin-
sula, as commanded by a Circular Royal Order, of 15th
November of last year, the maritime boards of health
will make the convenient dispositions, to the effect
that vessels which have touched at the foreign
ports where such modification or suppression has taken
place, may suffer, upon their transit to our ports, and
under whatever circumstances, the quarantine which,
according to the said Circular Royal Order, they would
have been liable to if coming direct; so that acting ac-
cordingly, and observing in other cases tho requisite re-
ciprocity, the necessity of awaiting superior advice may
be avoided; and, without discontinuing to act in con-
formity with the dispositions previously adopted by her
Majesty's Government, the sanitary service may be per.
formed with all convenient regularity."'
