PARLIAMENTARY OATH BILL:

On Mr. C. WYNNE's motion for the noise to go
into Committee on the Parliamentary Oath Bill ; the dis-
cussion was proceeding when our Reporter left.

A GOOD SHor.—On Monday last, Mr.
SMITH, of Trengwainton, killed 26i- brace of snipes in
4i hours.— Western Luminary.
THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—It has
been justly remarked by more than one contemporary that,
" There is a glow of new life breathed through the pages
of this Magazine." Most of the articles in the present
number, which possesses unusual variety, are wrought up
with great skill. Among those of tie., light and gossip-
ping cast, there are the " Monthly Commentary," con-
sisting of piquant remarks on the most prominent topics
of the month ;---" My Sinecure Place," a humorous piece
in verse, by Mr. HAYNES BAYLEY; a discursive and
spackling paper call,:d " After Dinner Chat," by Mr.
POOLE; and one or two others. Of a graver species of
interest, are the clear and forcible remarks on the prin-
ciple of Ballot-voting ; the continuation of the popular
series of Sketches, entitled " Speakers and Speeches in
Parliament," which delineates, in its third number, Sir
JAMES MACKINTOSH, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. WYNN,
Mr. POWLETT THOMPiON, Mr. GRANT, anti Sir INIOS•
DENMA N ;-another of the " Sketches of the English
Bar," describing Sir EDWARD SUDDEN a discussion of
the Principles of Property, and the Poor Laws, by Mr.
GALT ; a bold and spirited examination of Mr. Moone's
conduct as ti:e Thographer of Lord Braosr, &c. The
Portrait selected for the present month has the recom-
mendation of a beautiful subject, the Hon. Mrs. NoaTosr,
of whom a very interesting memoir is also given.
FAMILY MATTERS.—SeveraI years ago the
papers teemed with accounts of dreadful street roAeries.
" Why, how is this, TGWVSEND ?" said a nobleman ;
" what is the reason of all these street robberies that we
hear so much about ?" " Family matters !" my Lord,"
replied Toy/maxis. " Family matters !" returned his
Lordship, " what do you mean by that?" " Why, my
Lord, when a family man has gone astray, and thrown
away his money upon a loose fish, he must make up some
story for the good woman at home ; and so he tent her a
terrible tale about being knocked down and ro!,bed;:that's
all—mere family matters."

SYSTENT OF PHRENOLOGY,
By GEORGE COMBS.
Third Edition.

Phrenology treats of•the elements of moral and intel-
lectual Philosophy, and of the influence of the Brain on
the Mental Powers—a point of much importance, but
hitherto greatly neglected. Its principles were discovered
in 1787, and announced by Dr. Gall in 1796. In the
introduction to the present work the harmony of its prin.
ciples wi,h acknowledged truths is discussed, with a view
to obviate the prejudices of those who, erroneously re-
garding it as at variance with estabhshed science, hesitate
to inquire into its merits. The work has been written
with constant reference and application to ti:e moral and
int Ilectual interests and duties of man, to the affairs of
life, and to the developement and, wr.rkings of individual
and national character. It is illustrated by numerous
figures of the beads of remarkable individuals, and of
skulls from different nations. It is intended to serve, at
once, as a system of phrenology, and as a manual of prac-
tical philosophy.
The fin.t edition was printed in America; the second
edition, consisting of a thousand copies, has been sold in
face of the general opposition of the Periodical Press,
headed by the Edinburgh Review ; and the present edition
is offered in compliance with public demand. The regular
and progressive sale of the former editions affords evidence
that the subject possesses attractions; for nothing but its
inherent interest could have supported it against the oppo-
sition which it has encountered.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I am quite ashamed to obtrude any further upon
your valuable time; but perceiving that you have so nobly
stood forward in our cause by giving one entire column of
yoer paper of }est rday to us, I am induced to think you
will be glad to learn that the Anti-Reform Petition has
been completely defeated. After keeping their petition
for THREE DAYS at the Guildhall (where the public meet-
ing was held), in hopes to get some of our signatures.
they have been able to obtain only '779 names. At the
head of their Committee is a Mr. Os:mine. an attorney,
who, I believe, got the situation of distributor of stamps
for this city, worth 20001. per annum. This gentleman
is generally employed by the Select Vestries. He has sen
circulars to them, requesting them to let the petitions lie in
the church porches, and to canvas from house to house
for their signatures. Not being satisfied with adopting
this mode of getting signatures, THE COMMITTEE HAVE
SENT SKINS TO EVERY CHURCH WITHIN TEN MILES OF
THIS CITY. Many have signed the petition under an im-
pression that it is the one belonging to the late public
meeting held here. Such scandalous and barefaced an
imposition I never before heard or knew of. It shall b
told and known in both houses of Parliament. This stra-
tagem will defeat their purpose. Sr. James's parish, con-
taining a population of 15,000 inhabitants, has in three
days contributed only 61 signatures—the other parishes a
considerably less number. To you, I conceive, the inha-
bitants of this city are mainly indebted for stepping in with
your powerful aid to stem the current of this most shame-
ful abuse of the right of petition. A FREEMAN.

GENERAL FAST.

Sir W. INGILBY presented a petition from a place in
Lincolmhire, praying that the House would be pleased to
implore his Majesty that he would graciously direct a day
t he set apart for a General Fast, on account of the dis-
t eased state of the country.—(Great laughter.)
Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a similar petition from a
place in Yorkshire.—(A laugh.)
Mr. PIIILLPOTTS presented a petition from Glou-
cester, praying for a reduction of taxation, and an abate.
men t of expenditure.
On the presentation of a petition from Mr. Alderman
WrxcnEsrxn, the purport of which we cou'd not hear in
the gallery,
Mr. CRESSET PELHAM would take that opporto-
tunity of asking the Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir T. Ack-
land) whether he had any intention of postponing his mo-
tion respecting a repeal of the duty on coals.
Sir T. ACKLAND was understood to reply that he
would not consent to a postponement beyond the Bth of
March.

Air. P. GURNEY presented a petition from Norwich,
praying for a repeal of the Assessed Taxes
Alderman WAITHMAN had intended to bring the
subject under the consideration of the House, but trusted
the present Government would be so convinced of the
nece,sity of the reduction as to save him the trouble of a
motion. The Worthy Alderman then presented a petition
&Am the Ward of Farringdon Without, praying for
Reform, in doing which, lie said, whatever opi
nion might have been entertained by some of the
inhabitants, he believed they were now one and all con-
vinced of the necessity of Reform. He himself was
favourable to election by ballot.
Mr. HUNT, as a Liveryman of London, wished to
address a few words to the House on the subject of
this petition. He was glad to hear that the Worthy
Alderman hail at length become a convert, and
was willing to support election_ by ballot. If that
system had been adopted in his own ward, he would at the
present time have had different ass,ciates.—(Laughter.)
He (Mr. Hunt) was happy to find that the ballot
was getting into fashion.—(Lend cries of, " No, no,"
fmu all parts of the House.) He would repeat that ballot
was becoming fishionable.—(Continued cries of No, no.)
He was decidedly of opinion that if the views of the inha-
bitants of London, Westminster and Southwark were col-
lected, it would be found that ninety-nine out of every
hundred were in favour of vote by ballot.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from St. James's,
Clarkenwell, praying for Reform and vote by brilot, and
others to a similar r7frect from Perth and several parishes
in Scotland.
London, England, 1831-02-04

LABOURING POOR.

Mr. SADLER postponed his notice of motion for
taking measures to, alleviate the present distKess of the
labouring poor until Tuesday, the Bth of March.
Sir 11. FERGUSON presented petitions from Forfar and
five other places in Scotland, praying for Parliamentary
Reform

Mr. DENISON presented a petition from Goda!ming,
in favour of Reform. The Honourable Member said
as this was the first petition which be had had the honour
to present from the county he represented, he hoped he
should be excused in stating that be had for many years
been an advocate for Reform. He had long been
pledged to th .t measure, and rejo!ced that the coun-
try had now a Ministry honest and bold enough to bring it
forward. They should have his hearty support. He was not
an advocate for annual Parliaments or universal suffrage;
but he wished for smell a Reform as would tend to the
benefit of all.

Mr. BRISCOE supportatl the petition.
Mr. DENISON presented a petition from the farmers
in the vicinity of Reigate, praying for a repeal of the
Malt Tax, and a commutation of tithes.

Mr. JAMES LOCII in presenting petitions from the
county of Ross and two (Alter places in favour of .Reform
said, us he concurred so entirely with the prayer of the
petitions, be would merely move that the petitions be
brought up.
After a few words from Mr. HOME in support of the
petition, they were ordered to be printed.
S:r C. HASTINGS presented a petition from Loughbo-
rough, praying for a repeal of the Malt Tax and the Corn
Laws, abatement of taxation, Reform in Parliament.
and vote by ballot. The Hon. Member was in favour of
a repeal of the Corn Laws, but did not approve of vote by
ballot.

Lard FORDWICH presented a petition from Canter-
bury, praying for a Reform in Parliament.
Mr. KENNEDY presented several similar petitions
from various boroughs in Scotland.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair precisely at Three o'clock,
when several new Members took the oaths and their seats.

Several private BiPa were brought in and read a first
time.

Sir J. NEWPORT presented a petition from the Cham-
her of Commerce at Waterford, pr;:ying for a repeal of the
duty on sca,bnrbe Coals. The Right Honourable
Mber then presented another petition from the same
p'ace, signed by 400 persons who were present at a Meet-
ing convened by the Mayor, for the ptirpoSe of petitioning
for a Reform in Parliardent and vote by ballot. He
(Sir J. Newport) fully concurred in the propriety of Re-
fort ; he had been of that opinion from the first day he
ok his seat in the House, and every succeeding day had
confirm, d his opinion of the absolute necessity of the
measure; for, be would say, unless it were carried,
the country could not expect to derive any real benefit:
With respect to the vote by ballot, he would not say that
he was decidedly opp,sed to it, but he must confess that
Itt, had not madenp his mind as to its propriety.
Mr. LITTLETON proented a petition from Wall. dl,
Staffordshire, prAying for reduction of taxation generally,
but more particularly for the reduction of the duty
nn bet'ispaper :vamps, and also for an extensive plan of
Reform and retrenchment. The Hon. Member said the
petition had his most hearty support, particularly that put
of it which prayed for a reduction of the stamps on
newspapers, as that was the only meditiln through which
the people could derive infomation.
Mr. HART DAVIS presented a petition from This-
to!, praying for a reduction on sea-borne coals ; and
another for the abolition of slavery.

IRISH PENSION LIST.

Sta,—After much toil and disgust I have at length got through
that mass of filth, the Irish Pension List, which, if possible,
is worse than the English. I hope it is the last that will
ever inekr the execrations of a plundered public. Your
friend 44 Radical" having exhibited many of the noble pen-
sioners in his valuable strictivies, they are omitted in the
annexed list. There are, however, many omissions in the
official returns, which it would be perhaps invidious to mention.
At this day it is difficult to ascertain wise many of these pen-
sioners are. It is to be hoped that among the small ones, they
are the survivors of some of those brave men who have served

CHOLERA AT SUNDERLAND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I regret to state that the intelligence I have
now to communicate is of a more gloomy character
than it has been for some d iys past. There are
seven new eases of malignant cholera, and three
deaths.

Dr. Daun having intimated in his letter to the
Mayor that one of the cases of malignant cholera
had occurred immediately after taking a dose of
Epsom salts, his Worship, without delay, caused a
hand-bill to be issued, of which the following is a
copy:—
" NOTICE.

" A case of malignant cholera having just occurred after
a dose of Epsom salts, and the same thing having been
found to occur frequently in India, Dr.Dauti has cautioned
the inhabitants of Sunderland against the use of Epsom
or any other purgative salts, during the existence of the
present epidemic; and recommends persons to regulate
their bowels by the use of rhubarb, magnesia, and ginger
—of which the Mayor of Newcastle begs to apprize the
public. It is better, however, not to take any medicine
without the advice of medical men.
" Mansion-house, Nov. 15." •
As this change from good to bad is so sudden and
so decided, it is difficult to speculate on the progress
or end of the disease. The wisest course is, un-
doubtedly, to adopt all the means that experience
has shown to be most effective for preventing the
appearance of the complaint, or grappling with it
successfully when it does appear, and leave the rest
to Providence. The principal of these measures of
prevention are the strict enforcement of cleanliness
—not in streets and lanes merely, but in dwelling-
houses, free ventilation, warm, comfortable clothing,
and a sufficiency of wholesome food. All excesses
in eating or drinking are pernicious, and predispose
almost as much to an attack of cholera as fear of
the complaint is known to do.
In conclusion, I have great pleasure in announcing
an instance of well-timed kindness and liberality on
the part of Lord Ravenswort h. His Lordship has
written to the Mayer of Newcastle, to say, that
understanding warm clothing and a more generous
diet were of great importance to the poor in this
season of sickness, he has requested his steward to
pay over fifty pounds to his Worship tobe expended
in that way ; and Lady Ravensworth has also kindly
given twenty-five pounds for the same benevolent
purpose. I am Sir, your obedient servant,

THE FUNDS.

The events now passing at Lyons is the general topic of
conversation in the city this morning, but we are con-
firmed by private letters from Fcris, by estafette, that o❑
the arrival of Soult, a flag of truce would be sent to the
revolters, and that negociations would be entered into to
restore again order at:a tranquillity.
Consols, which left off on Saturday at 831 for the ac-
count, opi-ned this mornina at 83 to k, at present they are
£3.3i, with little doing. The Dutch funds have fallen two
per cent., it is stated that the Dutch finances are in a very
bad state.

HALF.PAST ONE.
We have received the Temps of Saturday, from which
we give the following :
" The post from Lyons arrived at nine o'clock this
night. There was a suspension of arms. The Prefect
has issued a proclamation to the work-people, but it was
not as yet known what effect it had. It was expected
order would soon be restored.

" General Roguet, who commands two divisions, can
assemble 16 regiments. He is a brave and experienced
officer.

" Government has given orders this morning to the
Royal Post not to give any horses to travellers on the
road to Lyons.

" The class of the silk-work people at Lyons, called
canals, forms two-thirds of the population of Lyons.
They are of the most miserable to be found in France,
and the least enlightened, and for some time past they
have been in a most deplorable state of misery."
The speech of the President of Hayti states that he has
not received any further account from France, but is in daily
expectation of fresh advices, at the same time recommends
to them to continue prepared for ulterior events.

Consols have continued during the whale of the morn-
ing at 831, until a short period, when the market took a
turn, and at present they may be quoted at 831, buyea.,
and 83i for money; but no business of any magnitude has
been done, nor is it supposed there will be until after the
meeting of Parliament.

The Foreign Market continues inactive at present.

also generally poor and the sale very heavy, at a decline of Is
per quarter. The arrivals of Barley, both from the North and
South, have beets larger this !week, and fur the present sales are
difficult at a decline of Is. a 2s. per quarter. Fine Malt free sale,

LAMBETH -STREET.

On Saturday Mr. Smith, the vestry clerk of the
parish of St, Mary, Whitechapel, waited on the sit-
ting magistrates, Messrs. NORTON and WALKER, and
had a private interview with them on the subject of
the supposed murder of Mrs. Walsh. The parti-
culars or nature of his application were not divulged,
but were strictly private. One thing, however, is
knoen, and that is, that the body of the old woman
who died in the London Hospital, of the name and
description of the missing woman, was on Saturday
for the second time disinterred, and it is said that
there are donlys still on the minds of the parties, as
to whether she is not the identical Caroline Walsh
who has been so long missing, and who is alleged to
have been Barked by Cook and the female Ross.
A delicate-looking woman, apparently about 18
years of age, came before Mr. WALKER to complain
of the parish officers of St. Anne's, Limehouse, for
having refused to purchase a wedding-ring, and pay
the expenses incidental to her marriage with a young
man who has kept her company fob• some years, and
with whom she had latterly lived. The applicant
stated, that her lover was willing to make her his
lawful wife, but being out of employment some time
past, he was unable to pay the marriage fees, or to
purchase the ring, lind she therefore made an appli-
cation to the parish-officers, in the hope that they
would do so; they, however, peremptorily refused
to grant this request, and she hoped his worship
would compel them.

Warring, the beadle of Limehouse, had very little
doubt but that the parish-officers would have done
the needful if they thought the applicant would be
bettering her condition by her marriage, but the
fact was otherwise. She wished to w'ed a man
who was out of employment, and who was conse-
quently unable to support her. The parish officers
therefore recommended her to go to service, and re-
linquish, for the present, her matrimonial intentions.
Mr. WALKER said this was the very best advice
that could be given to her; by complying it would
enable her to save as much money as would pay her
marriage expences, without being at any time liable
to the unpleasant idea of having been Married at the
parish expence.
The applicant bad no particular objection to go
to service, but she doubted much whether she would
find the man who offered to make her his wife in a
similar humour; be might change his mind, and she
would be deprived of an opportunity which might
never again present itself. Her intended was an
excellent mechanic (a ship-carpenter and joiner), and
if he had employment was well able to support both.
Mr. WALKER could not interfere in the matter,
hut recommended her to take the advice of the parish-
officers.
The poor girl seemed to think that delays were
siraaynignegrohuesr,
caansde wasts at hvee Yikiee hardvery much dejected,
one, and that it was
ioo bad to be thus deprived of a husband.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

These Sessions commenced this morning, before F.
COM', Esq., and a Bench of M igistrates.
John Thomas and WO. Wilton (brothers), and John
Franks, were indicted for assaulting Thomas Calf.
The prosecutor, in January last, took a house, No. 2,
Frog-lane, Islington, of Thomas Walton, one of the de-
fendants, paying 10 guineas for the fixtures, at a rent of
30 guineas a year. Last Lady-day he paid five guinea s
towards the rent, but up to Nfichaelmas-day he paid
nothing more. As the landlord could not then get
any more rent he agreed to take the fixtures for the rent, to
which the prosecutor acceded ; but upon the day named
for giving up possession of the premises the prosecutor re-
fused to abide by his agreement ; high words arose, and
Mr. Walton, who was accompanied by his two brothers
and the other defendant, a broker, proceeded to take
forcible possession, and the assault in question was alleged
to have taken place upon that occasion.

The Jury found the defendants guilty, and they were
sentenced to pay a fine of 40s. each to the King.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Last week there were large arrivals of Wheat, Barley, and
Oats ; of other grain the quantities were moderate, but of Flour
considerable. This morning the first supplies are moderate.
The Wheat trade has been extremely dull since last Monday, in
addition to which the morning was very foggy, so that the
few sales effected were at a reduction of 2s. to 3s. per quarter.
The finest Barley is 21. to 35., and the middling qualities
4s. to ss. Rye cheaper than on this day sen'night. Beans were
slow sale at the terms of last Monday. Pease unaltered. Oats
of good quality are not cheaper, but the trade was extremely
heavy for all descriptions. The top price of Flour is unaltered,
but there is a general dullness in the sale of this article.

THE MINDS.-(THIS DAY.)

Ci Ty, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.
This being Good-Friday- it is kept as a strict holi-
day in the city, and the Stock Exchange and Royal Ex-
ch ince are closed.
We have mails from Buenos Ayres of the 17th December;
also a packet from Halifax, saded March 6, and from Rio
Janeiro of the 6th; but we do not hear that they bring any
thing of ittportanf:e.
A letter from ilarcelonnette (Upper Alps) of the 22d
March says, that Prince Carignan has entered Savoy at
the head of four brigades of infantry and cavalry; and
there is at Genoa about 27,000 men, at Turin 25,000, and
at Ceni 3,000 ; and these troops are continually on the
ale' t owing to a fear of insurrections on the entrance of the
French.
The Bank of Ireland have notified to the merchants and
traders of Dublin, that on and after the 30th, they mean
to raise the rate of discount of commercial bills from four
per cent. to five per cent. per annum.
The express from Pat is this morning brings the French
Three per Cents. rather higher, 48f. 70c. ; and though
the speech of Baron Louis in the Chambers is rather
more pacific than that of Casimir Perrier, still no
positive conclusion can as yet be drawn whether the answer
from Austria will be pacific or net ; at all events, we know
that the French Government are in great alarm owing to
the immense armies now drawing on all sides round her,
and she is doing all in her power to negotiate a genera'.
disarmament.

This day's market exhibited but a limited supply, and the
trade was tolerably brisk throughout—with Beef and Mutton

Lamb and Pork, at Monday's prices. Milch Cows, which were
not numerous, looked a little downwards ; the best short-horns

weapon in his face, and fired it off. The report
ctunwed him, and he fell backwards on the gt-otiP.d.
He could not say whether the pistol was loaded.-:-
The wadding struck his eye, the s;ght of which was
much impaired.

The prisoner, who appeared much agitated, had
no intention to injure Mr. Chapman. He was ex-
cited at the time, and quite unconscious of what he
was about.

Mr. and Mrs. Chapman earnestly entreated of the
Magistrates to pass a lenient sentence, and said they
would be content wish an apology.
The Magistrates, however, said the case must go
before a July, for such an unmanly outrage could
not be passed over lightly; but they consented to
take bail.

bit of satire. We subjoin a sample, with which we
must conclude our notice of this pungent and racy
periodical :
" Come, ye mopes, and drones, and droopers!
Listen to me in your stupors ;
Come, ye gaunt and grim old maids :
Long since fitted for the shades ;
Hear me, from your darkest den,
All ye okl, unmarried' men:—
Ali ve tribes of wretches, come—
Denizens of sin and gloom!
Give me a responsive throe,
While I sing your song of woe:
" Morn is up—pale, chill, and murky—
Looking well inclined to Burke ye;
Through the fetid fog the bell
Rings as with your funeral knell;
Heaven is cloud, and Earth is mud,
Promising a London flood.
Just as strikes the last half-hour,
Down comes, thick and thin, the shower:
On ye put your Sunday satins •
Hurrying to your doctor's matins ;
Slippery every stone as glass,
(Lately, too, broke up for gas!)—
All the brats of shops and schools,
All the' mighty serious' fools,
All the 'prentice-gentlemen,
Promenading througn the fen—
Till subsides the general cackle
At the pious Tabernacle !
" There you find no Doctor Prosy,
As an apple round and rosy ;
Happy proof that all the dinners
Are not left among the sinners;
Happy proof that beef may line
Cheeks and ribs the most divine ;
Happy proof that port may paint
Even the most world-hating saint
There you find—wild, gaunt, and grim—
Fierce of face, and lank of limb,
With that mystic sweep of eye,
Fixed at once on earth and sky ;
Now a comet's fiery glare
Blazing from his matted hair;
Now a melancholy moon,
Melting to some wizard time ;
Whiskered like a bold hussar,
Stands our man of holy war."

ranged round the upper part in folds, and crossed in front. Very

rows of blonde lace. The dress is trimmed round the border, up
the front of the skirt,•and across the corsage, with a wreath com-
posed of three rows of white gauze ribbon, cut to resemble
foliage, and united at regular distances by an ornament of ribbon
resembling a flower, with its foliage. The head-dress is a bluo

sion of white ostrich feathers falling in different directions.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

A good number, but by no means of superlative
excellence. The " Nectes" contain one capital
passage, descriptive of a battle among the cats at
midnight, where the belligerents mustered in consi-
derable force on both sides. The graphic force of
this description, though partaking strongly of the
burlesque, is really surprising. Of the political
diatribes we cannot say much. They are vigorous
as usual, and marked by a spirit of even plus ul-
traism, but inconsistent, rambling, and undiscrimi-
nating in their acerbity. The continuation of
" Memoirs: of Sir Frizzle Pumpkin" contains much
truth of observation, mixed up with no slight por-
tion of exaggeration. The remaining articles are of
the average order of merit.
