STATISTICS OF DUELLING UNDER GEORGE
THE TIIIIM—Such was the frequent occurrence of duels in
this long reign, that one hundred and seventy-two were fought
(in which three hundred and forty-four persons were con-
cerned); sixty-nine individuals were killed ; in three of these
fatal cases neither of the combatants survived , ninety-six were
wounded, forty-eight of them desperately, and forty-eight of
them slightly ; while one hundred and seventy-one escaped
unhurt. From this statement it will be seen that rather more
than one-fifth of the combatants lost their lives, and that nearl)
one-half received the bullets of their antagonists. It also ap-
pears that only eighteen trials took place; that six of the ar-
raigned individuals were acquitted, seven found guilty of man-
slaughter, and three of murder—two of whom were executed,
and eight imprisoned for different periods.
A FELINE SPORTSMAN.—As a man was fur-
tively stealing away
from a dark alley, in the Rue St. Jean de
Iteauvais, two days ago,
staggering under the weight of a well-
filled sack, he was stopped by some police officers, who imme-
diately inspected his burden. To their horror and astonish-
ment they found it to consist of the bodies of about twenty
dead cats. On being closely interrogated, Germain Galet,
this wholesale murderer, confessed that his only occupation
was hunting cats, for the skins of which he found a ready mar-
ket, and disposed of many of the carcaQes to traiteurs, to be
served up to their guests as rabbits. This poacher in the pre-
serves of the good old ladies of the city will have, it is said, to
answer before the tribunal for no fewer than sixty head of
pule thus killed without a license.—. Paris Paper,

SUNDAY FLOGGING.

Sir R. H. INGLIS wished to knowlwhether it was
the intention of the authorities at the Admiralty to

REGENT'S PARK.

Mr. EWART begged leave to ask the Under-
Secretary for the Treasury whether it was the intention
of the Government to open the whole of that part
under grass i❑ the Regent's Park to the public ; cud
whether they were resolved on making a commu•
nication from the park to Primrose-hill ; further,
whether that part of the park opposite Hanover-
terrace was to be also open to the public ;
and finally whether the Government was prepared to
lay before the House a map which which woull indi-
cate the alterations that were to take place.

Mr. E. J. STANLEY said that it was the inten-
tion of the Woods and Forests to open the whole of
the grass part of the Park to the public. It was also
intended to open a road by means of a bridge from
Hanover-gate to the Grass Park ; but it was not in-
tended to make any bridge over the Regent's Canal,
to Primrose-hill, which would be accessible in the usual
mariner. With respect to the last question of the Hon.
Gentleman, he begged to state that it was the
intention of the Government to lay before the
House, in the course of the week, a plan of the
Regent's Park, for the purpose of showing the contem-
plated arrangements.
Mr. Sergeant JACKSON wished to ask the Noble
Lord the Secretary for Ireland whether it was his in-
tention to proceed with the Irish Court of Chancery
Bill on FritLty next ? He wished the Noble Lord to
postpone, tmtil a more distant period, the further con-
sideration ct the measure, as some officers connected
with the Irish Court of Chancery were anxious to be in
London du:ing its progress.
Lord MORPETH did not think it would be possi-
ble to bring in the Bill on Friday next.
PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS (IRELAND).
Lord J. RUSSELL said itekwas his intention to
mole the Order of the Day for going into Com-
mittee on the Parliamentary Voters (Ireland) Bill, and,
as it stood somewhat low upon the list, he should pro-
pose, if the gentlemen who had orders on the paper
had no objection, that they should be read over for the
purpose of postponing them.
The preceding orders were then read over, and
fixed for other days.

Lord J. RUSSELL—In rising to move the next
order of tte day, I beg leave to state the course I pro-
pose to pursue. I asked the House to adjourn for a
short time for the purpose of considering the effect
which the words added to the first clause would have
upon the Bill, considering them as of very considerable
importance. I attached such importance to the words
chiefly because of what occurred in the debate, inferring
from the statements then made that it was intended
by affirming those words to exclude the franchise
proposed by my Noble Friend the Secretary fur Ire-
land. The importance of the debate and the impor-
tance of that vote I cannot exaggerate, but the Govern-
ment could not feel at all justified in considering that
vote as conclusive on such a subject. On the second
reading of the 'Bill the principle of the franchise
proposed by my Noble Friend was affirmed in
a very large House by the votes of 301 Members.
We have now had the amendment- moved by
my Noble Friend the Member for Northumberland
also affirmed ; but it was not moved with the view of
negativing any of those franchises that were proposod
by my Noble Friend, but with a view of aiding those
franchises. That franchise, if added to those proposed
by my Noble Friend, will be an addition to the fran-
chise, and not a diminution.—( Hear, hear.) We
be quite willing to accept that addition in the hope
that the House is prepared to adopt the franchise
of the nature we have proposed, and are prepared
to support. We therefore think it is our duty
to proceed with the Bill, and ask for the sense
of the House upon the franchise proposed by us.
That franchise formed part of the Bill, and was dis-
cussed upon the second reading of the Bill ; not cer-
tainly with respect to the amount of .5/., but with re-
spect to the nature of the franchise. Ido not consider
that it is necessary to say anything further. I will,
therefore, conclude by moving the Order of the Day
for the House resolving itself into Committee on the
Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill.
Lord HO WICK said that his Noble Friend (Lord
J. Russell) having explained to the House the course
he purposed to pursue, it might be for the convenience
of the House if he (Lord Howick) also stated what was
his intention with reference to the amendment of
which he had given notice, in consequence of what
took place on a former evening. He (Lord Howick)
still held the opinion which he had then expressed,
that the county franchise of Ireland night be
most satisfactorily settled on the principles which he
had endeavoured to state to the House, namely,
by retaining the existing franchise in respect of
the beneficial interest, providing a simple and easily as-
certained test of the existence of that interest, and
affording a further means of securing the right of voting
by the creation of an occupation franchise analogous to
that possessed in this country by the 501. leaseholders.
He (Lord H.) still continued to hold that opinion.
Certainly nothing that had passed in the debate on the
former evening bad contributed to alter it ; on the con-
trary, with reference to the first amendment, the House
had affirmed the expediency of maintaining the princi-
ple of a property qualification, and his Noble Friend
who had just sat down, in a manner which made him
(Lord Howick) at a loss to comprehend his pressing
the question on a former evening to a division, had
stated that to the franchise, defined in the manner he
(Lord Howick) proposed in addition to some other
I franchise, he had no objection ; except as an ad-
dition to some other franchise he (Lord Howick)
