Redoubled Success of the Great Wonder.worker—his

Beauty—all must see the Mighty Wizard of Necromantic Fame !

animate. All nature seems to be at variance with the Wizard.

prehensible Delusions; and Mr. CHARLES SLOMAN. the
ormy English Improvisatore, will nightly POETISE EX-

LONDON:
SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1840.

In the House of Lords last night the Marquis
of WESTMEATH asked Lord MELBOURNE whether
the Government had interfered in favour of the
Jews in the East. The Noble Lord's answer was
inaudible, but we have already stated that it has.
Why the Noble Marquis, who has so many objects
of compassion at home, allowed his charity to
wander so far amongst the Jews, we cannot say.
Viscount STRANGFORD called Lord MEL-
BOURNE'S attention to papers on the table relative
to piracy in the Adriatic, and it appears that the
King of NAPLES, who plunders our merchants in
Sicily, expects that our fleets shall assist in pro-
tecting his subjects. John Bull is looked on as
the policeman and peace-preserver, paying his own
expenses, for all the world. Ha is supposed to be
an amateur constable, and is expected to put up
with all the cuffs and knocks the wild boys on
thrones may choose to give him. The Govern-
ment of Naples appears angry because he has not
fulfilled this duty to its satisfaction. The corre-
spondence in question was ordered to be laid on the
table. Counsel were again heard against the Muni.
cipal Corporation Bill for Ireland. Viscount MEL-
BOURNE then proposed that the Bill be committed.
The Duke of WELLINGTON objected with Sonic
animation to that step till there were plenty of
Lords to discuss the Bill, and till some other Bill
was before their Lordships. The great Duke on
this subject seems to follow the Marquis of WEST-
MEATH. Finally, the Bill was ordered to be com-
mitted on next Friday.
In the House of Commons, after the presenta-
tion of petitions and the transaction of private busi-
IhenLod
n_ess, Mr. SHAW put an interesting question to
Lord IIORPPTH touching the further appropria-
tionv of molnei‘yttooßp r
the sinecure
i clergy
Governmente
y of Ireland,
when
from Parliament, for which it did
not mean to ask,
though it would be glad if
I possessed them.
We respectfully differ from the Noble Lord, and are
• r r
could not give them more without fresh powers
