Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambassador, is
said to have asserted, that according to the official returns,
the number of deaths, taken as a whole, du: ing the preva-
lence of the cholera at Moscow, was absolutely less than in
ordinary times. This is attributed to the people refraining
from drinking, and other habits of dissipation. We may
add, that where the disease has raged most violently, the
average number cf deaths has never been more than doubled.

BIRTII.—On the 26th instant, in York-
terrace, the lady of ADAM Duni-, Esq. of a son.

We have great pleasure in stating that their
MAJESTIES are expected to he at their Palace at Brighton
on Saturday, probably for several months, but with such
absences of course as the important affairs of State may im-
periously call for.—Brighton Guardian.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY arrived at
his seat, Wynyard.pai k, in the county of Durham, on
Monday last.

A ludicrous scene occurred yesterday after-
noon at the south portico of the Royal Exchange. A gen-
tleman, who had ordered his carriage to be in attendance
for him, found his coachman so drunk as to be unable to
drive him home. He made him, therefore, dismount from
the box, and, taking the reins himself, drove off, leaving
coachee, in a smart new livery, exposed to the laughter
and ridicule of the mob, which his situation naturally
excited.

We understand a communication has been re-
ceived in Exe'er, from a Magistrate in Somerset, stating
that there appears good reason for thinking that delegates
on foot are moving from the north, westward, in order to
excite riot and disorder. We trust the inhabitants of this
city are too enlightened and well disposed to Ind them-
selvea to the artful and evil designs of tbese men.

CLERKENWELL POLITICAL UNION.—A
meeting of the inhabitants of Clerkenwell took place at
the John's Gate, St. John's-square, yesterday evening, for
the purpose of con-iderint the propriety of forming, in
that pettish, a Political Union. Mr. GREGORY was eta-d
to the Chair, and bri,fly explained that the object of the
meeting was to consider the propriety of forming a Politi-
cal Union to promote Reform, preserve peace, and protect
property by all legal and proper means. Mr. Mottrlix,
after a brief speech, moved, •‘ That it is expedient to form
a Clerkenwell Royal and Patriotic Political Union, upon
the b sis of the Birmingham Political Union." The re-
solution was carried. A Committee of seven persons was
appointed to draw up the rules and regulations, to be
communicated to the Society at some future time. Thanks
were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up.
THE BISHOPS IN 1641..—1 t was the con-
stant aim of that united and " compact phalanx," the
Bishops, to prevent all reformation in Church or State
' during the reign of CHARLES the First, and to support
him in al! his arbitrary views and artifices. It was this
which induced the Presbyterians and Puritans to get a
Bill passed through both Houses of Parliament for the ex-
clusion of the Bishops from their seats in the House of
Lords—the question of their right to sit there having, in-
deed, long previously been agitated. This memorable
Bill p:ssed the Commons on the 11th of March, 1640-1,
and passed the Lords on the 27th of Miy following. The
Act for the exclusion of Bishops from the House of Peers,
which passed in the reign of CHARLES the First, was re-
pealed on the restoration of CHARLES the Second, namely,
in the year 1661.—Norfolk East Anglia.
" Within the last few days," says the MeSSager
des Ckambres, " a great many English have arrived in
Paris. They state that many more of their countrymen,
particularly of the higher classes in their native country, not
feeling themselves free from alarm, .have resolved upon a
temporary absence frotn England, and will come and reside
in the capital of France." [The fact that a considerable
number of English have arrived in Paris is perfectly true;
but we need scarcsly point out the utter absurdity of the
reason assigned for it. Happily, no apprehension can rea-
sonably exist, either as to the physical or moral state of
England. The cholera continues far distant from her
shores, and every post brings us accounts more and more
satisfactory of the tranquility of the whole country.]—
