ANNUITY TAX.

Mr. GILLON presented a petition from Thomas Chapman,
a prisoner in the gaol of Edinburgh, complaining of the pres-
sure of the Annuity-tax, and praying the House to in-
terfere to procure his release. it was, he said, an
instance of clerical rapacity and tyranny seldom brought un-
der the view of Hon. Gentlemen.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had a petition to present
on the same subject; he might perhaps as well take that op-
portunity of doing so.
Mr. GILLON intimated that he had not concluded, and
was proceeding when,
Sir G. CLERK rose to order.
After a few words from the SPEAKER,
Mr. GILLON hoped that this attempt to stifle the cries of
the victims of oppression.would not be successful. He applied
to the House on behalf of Mr. Chapman, who had been most
unjustly deprived of his liberty.
The SPEAKER suggested, that in conformity with what
appeared to be the opinion of the House, the Hon. Member
should then present his petition, and give notice of a motion on
the subject.

(LEFT SITTING.)

DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE

(THIS DAY.)

The Committee did not meet this day until one o'clock.
Mr. AUSTEN proposed to strike off the vote of Joseph Asley
Newell, an attorney, who acted as Inspector, and voted for
West and Hamilton at the election.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Murphy that the voter
acted as inspector in the booth W. E. for Went and Hamilton,
and by the testimony of Mr. Seton, that Newell had declared to
him during the election that he would not act unless he were
paid, and that he had a letter promising payment. The voter
himself was examined before the Commissioners, and admitted
he had voted, but declined to answer the questions put to him
as to his having been paid or promised payment.
Mr. AUSTEN drew the attention of the Committee to the
Act which disqualifies all agents, inspectors, &c., who shall
receive any money or promise, in consideration of his acting in
such a capacity. He quoted a decision in the New Windsor case,
where it was held that an implied promise, such as was given
in the instance before the Committee invalidated the voter.
Mr. WRANGHAM replied, contending there was not such
evidence before the Committee as could disfranchise the'voter.
The COMMITTEE, after a few moments' deliberation, re-
solved " that the vote of Joseph Asley Newell must be struck
off the poll."

The extraordinary and dangerous surgical operation
of amputating the leg at the hip joint has been performed at
the Middlesex Hospital, by Mr. Mayo, upon a young woman
named Mary Allen. The sufferer was admitted into the hos-
pital about twelve months since with a fractured leg, and thrte
amputations of the limb had taken place. The operation was
performed in the presence of a great number of the medical
profession, and the patient is likely to recover.

Under the influence of the present genial weather,
vegetation is making rapid advances, and the country is fast
assumingits most attractive aspect. The wheat plant, which
from the long continuance of wet, had begun to wear an un-
healthy hue, already exhibits much improvement from the
beneficial change, and. upon the whole is favourably spoken
of • whilst barley sowing is proceding with great diligence,
the land being in excellent order for the reception of the seed
The orchards are said to promise well for another abundant
year of fruit.-- Worcester Herald.
