TEE BUDGET.

frer, with full details of the Budget, will be
published in a Third Edition of The Suit this
Hvening, about' eight o'clock, or earlier, if possible.

ae
PeerNafterreceiving a few petitions, heard
Sir CuanLEa.WrTnEnEel. as Counsel for the
Corporation of Dublin, against the Corporations
(Ireland) We thought the venerable Knight
had been buried, but an opportunity of once more
railing against, reform has brought him again to life.
It is singnlar.that he should object to the Bib, be-
catise it' gi Ye Lliepeople a•power to tax themselves
e '
enormously. The venerable Knight may calm his
e find their representatives ate
fears, for if the people
extravagant, they will cashier them. To resist a
rill of this kind,, on the ground that the people will
,ex themselves too highly, or that the poor will tax
he rich, while in doing so they must tax
themselves, is a Tory ruse. The sum which the
.;larttied Knight.eupposes it possible to levy on the
inhabitants of .Dublin, is scarcely the half of the
sum levied on the rate payers of Marylebene, and does
nut equal that paid by several other parishes in the
metropolis. Their Lordships adjourned the further
hearing of Counsel till to-dele, and, at a convenient
hour to dine, adjourned the House.
In the House. of Commons the petitions were
very nutherotis. One from Lewes, complaining of
bribery and corrupt,ion, seems to hare rubbed Mr.
FITZROY on the raw, and made him express a desire
to resist the motion .for laying the petition on the
table, which the Honourable Member thought it was
prudent not to carry into action.

EM ALE FORM IN MIDWIFERY;
The total disregard to instant bandaging of the mother
(by men) t the birth of children—the inlet of atmospheric air
th,refrom into the system, destroys for life the female figure. The
isatnral and prompt pdgformanee of this delivate office at child-
birth by females, was, in days past of mother's wit, especially
consigned by our forefathers to woman's umbilical discharge,
as the assign ones, under Providential care. The object othe
SANATORIUM ASSOCIATION project, for each town--
under a College of Surgeons—is covertly to monopolize into
their hands this female duty—with views, step by step, e yen to
legislative prevention, against any female practising as Midw:fe
or Herb-seller throughout the kingdom. It is the duty of all
virtuous persons to frustrate the designs of wicked men tosvaris
infantine destruction. C. ACKERLEY.
At Noon To-morrow the subject will be opened at 11 ill,is
Rooms, for and against.
