DARING AND DEXTEROUS FEAT.—The pro-
prietor of a cotton-mill, situated in the neighbourhood
of Glasgow had occasion to have some alteration made
on the top of a towering stalk adjoining the mill, an iron
plate in that direction, which interfered with the free
egress of the volume of smoke, having got out of posi-
tion ; and to have thrown up a scaffolding, to repair the
damage, would have cost a considerable sum. A slater,
however, undertook, for a few pounds, to ascend to the
top of the stalk, by means of a considerable number of
sharp-pointed pieces of iron, which he drove into the
stalk, commencing at the foot, and proceeding onwards
(occasionally descending for instruments), till he reached
, the top. He finished his Herculean task in two days, to
the satisfaction of the proprietor, but to the no small
terror of the spectators, to whom, it is said, he appeared
as a speck in the distance, and who were naturally afraid
that he might instantly fall headlong from the pinnacle,
and be dashed to piecosei.Glogow Argtm.

THE KIRK AND THE VETO.

It appears from a statement made by Mr. Black, in
the Edinburgh Town Council, on Tuesday, that in the
Old Church, which is now vacant, up to the end of De-
cember, there were only 38 seats taken. This church
is situate in the heart of the Old Town, and consequently
in the midst of a large population, yet Chalmers and
his party call out for more churches, while they cannot
fill those already built. Tho Old Church has now been
vacant nearly six months ; a further delay was agreed
to at the last meeting, and it is not at all impossible,
therefore, that the right of presenting may fall into the
hands of the Presbytery. The valuable living of North
Leith has also been vacant about six months. Some.
three or tour candidates have withdrawn, oi:e after the
other : four more arc a2ain in the field, and tne vete-
ists and non-vetoists seem as unlikely as ever to come
to an agreement. According to an Edinburgh paper,
long and warm discussioes took place on Monday, at a
motley meeting held in the parish church, each party
squabbling for his favourite candidate, amidst ebeer,
laughter, and hisses, and one speaker (Mr. Cooper)
seemed as determined to fight and conquer as lilt.: had
been with Napier on the Syrian coast. 't We have got
a Tested right," said he, " in the presentation. We
wilt stand by that right, and nail our colours to the
mast.—(Laughter, cheers, and hisses.") And all this
takes place under the blessed system of the men, who
while they talk of peace, and harmonious calls, and Gos-
pel ordinances, not only set the law at defiance, but
stir up the worst passions among the people committed
to their charge. This veto, as we have often said,
will be the death of the Kirk.

NEW PRISON.

The Report of the Visiting Justices of this prison stated
that it at present contained 74 male and 28 female pri-
soners, total 102: and the gratifying fact that there was
only one prisoner in the infirmary.
On the motion that the report be received,
Mr. A RMSTRONG rose to call the attention of the Court
to a statement contained in a former report of the Visiting
Justices. He alluded to the treatment of Elizabeth
Showles, a prisoner, who, it appeared, was delivered of a
child at eight o'clock in the evening of the 31st of Decem-
ber, without any medical aid ; and that, on the 14th of
January, she was, by the order of the surgeon of the pri-
son, forwarded to a police-office to undergo an examine
tion on the charge for which she was sent to prison. It
appeared that the sterAeon of the Rigors, when informed
''lbut—tbelslWlßTAPAllt.„Aerruodelisexet of a child, and re-
quested.mAthild 'her, said. that Jo should not visit, the
prison again that night, and that he did not see the pri-
soner until one o'clock in the afternoon of the following
day. He hoped that some explanation of this matter would
be given by some of the Visiting Justices present.
Mr. DYER, as one of the Visiting. Justices, said he was
anxious to state what bad come to their knowledge. He
believed that the surgeon, on the occasion in question, bad
done no more than had frequently been done before; as a
proof of which be would state that it appeared, from an of-
ficial document which he then had in his hand, that within
the last five years above twenty women had been removed
from that prison who had been delivered of children within
an average of fifteen days from their confinement.
The Rev. T. WlLLiasts said it was notorious that many
poor women resumed their household duties within fifteen
days after they had given birth to a child.
Mr. DYER said that neither mother tier child had suF-
tained any inconvenience from the removal in question,
and, therefore, so far the surgeon of the prison was not to
blame, although he certainly acted wrong in not going to
the prison when sent for to attend the woman, a fact which
he himself admitted, and for which he was extremely
sorry, and had promised that it should never occur again.
Mr. Tunic thought that the surgeon ought not to be al-
lowed to shelter himself under the plea that nothing unto-
ward had occurred in the present case.
Mr. POVINALL thought that the past services of the sur-
geon entitled him to the indulgent consideration of the
Court, though he would admit that he had acted extremely
wrong in not attending the woman, when he was sent for ;
because nothing could excuse a medical man in not attend-
ing a woman under such circumstances.
Here the matter c rappel.'.

personation, and many other gross evils. The proper
voters were swamped by pauper votes, and the conse-
quence was that very improper guardiais had been re-
turned. The law now provided no remedy for an im-
proper election, and it could not be set aside. Nothing
would put an end to the system but the establishment
of open voting.
The Marquis of NORMANBY thought the views
entertained by the Noble Earl were much exaggerated.
No doubt in a country where an entire new system had
been introduced so lately, some evils were to be ex-
pected, but his information did not lead him to believe
them to be so great as stated by the Noble Elrl. He
could only repeat that both the Commissioners and the
Government had the intention of meeting the evil
wherever it might be proved.
The Earl of FINGAL said the system had not yet
had a fair trial. It would therefore`be premature to
make any alteration such as that suggested by the
Noble Earl. Open voting would make a radical altera-
tion in the law ; it would deprive the owner of his
right to vote by proxy and plurality of votes.
The Earl of WESTMEATH would willingly give
up chore rights for the object of getting rid of the
pauper voters.
After a few words from Lord FITZGERALD and
the Earl of FINGAL, the conversation dropped.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from an
individual, complaining of the Copybold Enfranchise-
ment Act.
PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.

The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD also presented
a pet tion from Chester, which was signed by the
Mayor and several clergymen of all denomin,ltions,
praying for the abolition of the punishment of death in
all cases except for the crime of murder and treason.
THE LAW'S DELAY.

The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then presented a
petition from Itaac`Winter, of Wilton, in the county
of Somerset, representing himself to be of the age of
70 years ; that he had been for the last twenty years a
litigant before the Courts of Westminster, and during
the greater part of that time in their Lordships' House ;
and that the cause, which was an ejectment, tried about
twenty years ago, for the recovery of an estate in the
county of Somerset, still remained undecided. The
petitioner prayed for a speedy decision. The Noble and
Learned stated, that undoubtedly the question was one
of extreme difficulty, and that there had been the
greatest division of opinion among the Judges ; but he
hoped that after the return of the Learned Judges
from the Circuits, this embarrassing cause would be dis-
posed of.
London, England, 1841-02-20

ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

Mr. HAWES wished to ask the Noble Lord
whether it W 29 the intention of the Government to in-
troduce any measure with reference to the Ecclesiasti-
cal Courts, and if so, whether it was intended to make
such measure applicable to the questions at present in
litigation before those Courts. It was exceedingly de-
sirable that the jurisdiction of those Courts should be
defined, and that some measure for the regulation of
the proceedings should be adopted.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it was the in-
tention of the Lord Chancellor to introduce some mea-
sure for the regulation of Ecclesiastical Courts into the
House of Lords, whether it might also be nece;sary to
introduce some measure of a similar nature in that
House he could not at present say.

MUNICIPAL REGISTRATION.

INir. BARING wished to know whether it was the
intention of the Noble Lord to introduce any measure
to remove the difficulties that had been found in the
registration of voters in municipal corporations. In
Liverpool and Leeds such had been the difficulties in
the registration, that they had been obliged to proceed
upon the registration of the former year.
Lord J. RUSSELL said, that from what had oc-
curred in two or three towns, he believed it would be
found necessary to bring in a meaFure upon the subject.
The other Orders of the Day were then read, for the
purpose of postponing them:_

THE DRAINAGE BILL.—A Correspondent re-
minds us that the places most complained of as
producing malaria, disease, and death, are the
old parts of our towns. He says that there are
few or no buildings now erected which ,are not
under-drained. The cellars of Liverpool and
Manchester, as well as the buildings of Saffron-
hill and Cable-street, are not of this generation.
Alleys were built centuries ago. Closes and
wynds date from the ages of feudalism. In fact,
then, what Lord Normanby's Bill is to achieve
is already in a great measure done or in progress.
Poverty has driven the people to all kinds of
.::lifts, and amongst them to huddle ck ser to-
gether than is healthful. If the Legislature
I will only take its heavy hand from their industry,
they will spring themselves into cleanliness and
fresh air. If there be any doubt of it, let the
parsons teach them the solid advantages of phy-
sical purity. That will be an infinitely more use-
ful work than inculcating hatred of rival sects, or
lecturing on incomprehensible dogmas. Let the
Commissioners of Sewers, too, do what they have
now got to do well before they are commissioned
to do more. Half the drains of the metropolis

MARQUIS OF NORMANBY'S DRAINAGE BILL.

The CHAIRMAN felt it to be his duty to stlte that a
drainage Bill had been brought into the House of
Lords, and it was necessary it should he looked into, as
it affected the powers and rights of that Court. He
thought the Bill would prove highly advan-
tageous to the public interests, but at the
same time the Commissioners ought to look into
it and ascertain the position in which they stood
with respect to the measure. He thought it would be
desirable that a Committee should be appointed to con-
sider it and report thereon. He would therefore move
that a Committee for that purpose be appointed.
Mr. ADEY thought it would bo better that a special
day should be appointed for the discussion of the sub-
ject in open Court.
A show of hands was then taken, when there appeared
a majority in favour of the appointment of the Com-
mittee, but as the Chairman could not get six Com-
missioners to serve on it, although there were upwards
of 24 present, the resolution fell to the ground.
It was there fore agreed that a special Court should
he summoned for the consideration of the subject one
day next rack.
Petitions and memorials were then received (it being
five o'clock). Many of those petitioners and me-
morialists were respectable tradespeop'e, and had been
kept in Court the whole of the day, to their great in-
convenience and the neglect of their business. It
would be as well if the Commissioners, in future, would
hear the :petitions. &c , before they enter upon ques-
tions that are likely to create discussion, and thus enable
the parties to occupy their time more profitably by pur-
suing their respective avocations.
London, England, 1841-02-20

IRISH PAUPERS

A long discussion then took place on t'..e reading of a
letter from the Poor-lax Commissioners rolative to the
present mode of passirg Irish paupers to their native
c2untry. It anpeared that by the preent system the
paup(rs in question were passed either to Dublin or Cerk,
and left to find their way to tie pa ishes to which they
belonged as well as they could, with money foreishod
tern !It- that purpose, instead of being forwarded to the
place of their settlement. The consequence in many in-
stance; was, that they returned to England with the money
so given them, and is a short time again becamo charge-
able to parishes in this country. The subject was referred
to a Committee.
The Court then adjourned.

MR. Joing THoßoGooD.—The following, is
a copy of a letter received yesterday by the Churchwardens
of Chelmsford. The letter bears the London post-mark,
ald contains a Post-office order for twenty shillings:—
" Gentlemen—l should have thought that your persecu-
tions of that sturdy, unbending man, John Thorogood,
would have been satisfied ; but I see in the papers you are
persecuting him again for two rates. I conclude these
will be about double the former, and that your costs can-
not at present be more then ten shillings. I enclose a
Post-office order for twenty shillings, to be placed to the
credit of your demand on John Thorogood, as I am an
enemy to persecution."—The amount of the rates against
Mr. Thorogood was also left yesterday morning at Mr.

sent that he lived in Suffolk, but declined to give either

CORONERS AND PARISH OFFICERS

Mr. ARDIVTRONG brought forward the following motion,
of which be hnd given notice :—" That it be referred to a
Committee to communicate with the Secretary of State
for the Home Department and the Commistioncrs of Me-
tropolitan Police on the expediency of the force under
the control cf the Commißsioners being in future em-
ployed in attending the C(roncrs' Courts, summoning the
Juries,'and discharging all other duties rola ive to the hold-
ing of inquests, heretofore performed by the parochial consta-
bles, with a view to the efficient and uniform discharge, of
those duties, and the saving a great and unnecessary ex.
pence to the county consequent on the present system, and
to report thereon to the Court as speedily as possible."
After a trief discussion, the motion of Mr. Armstrong
was carried.
London, England, 1841-02-20

mer.t was therefore moved itt the suggestion of Mr.
THISTLETON DYER: " That the said sum of
1,6961. 13s. Id. be not paid, it not appearing to the
Court that there is a sufficient sum in the hands of the
hankers, received from the Western District, to ply
that sum."

The question was then put, wen there rppeared—
For the issuing of the warrant
For the amendment
Majority against the amendment 7
Several Commissioners again refusing to vote.
The warrant for payment was then ordered to issue.

LONDON:
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1841.

The Peers assembled to legislate last night.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that the LORD
SPEAKER give orders to publish the trial of the
Earl of CARDIGAN.

The Earl of ELDON took the opportunity of
stating that one of the Masters of Chancery, a
messenger of the House, had been refused ad-
mittance on the trial, and to express a hope that
the refusal was unintentional. The Noble Earl
also adverted to the ATTORNEY-GENERAL having
said there was nothing of moral delinquency in
the conduct of the Earl of CARDIGAN, which was
going, he said, much too far ; the Right Rev.
Bench could never countenance such language.
The Bishop of LONDON expressed his regret at
the sentence, and his opinion was that the AT-
I'ORNEY-GENERAL had gone beyond his province.
Be hoped that their Lordships would consider
whether something could not be done to put an
end to duelling. P.robably the lay Peers believe
they have already done too much, though per-
haps inadvertently, by passing a law which makes
ounding. a man felony, and which has already
brought one of themselves into a scrape.
A little discussion then ensued as to the right
of the spiritual Peers to withdraw themselves,
and not to vote on such occasions as a trial. They
always retire. Lord ELLENBOROUGH contended
that every Peer had a right to withdraw without
voting if he liked. The Peers cannot be locked
up, then, like a Jury, to bring them to a decision.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE concurred in the
opinion that any Peer might withdraw.
Lord REDESDALE pointed out that the spiritual
Peers had withdrawn in other cases. .
The Earl of SIIAFTESBURY said it was custom-
ary for the Archbishop of CANTERBURY to ask
leave for the spiritual Lords to retire, which has
always, we believe, been done, under a protest
that the withdrawal prejudices no rights of the
spiritual Peers. The spiritual Peers, we believe,
originally protested against being submitted to
tLe jurisdiction of any lay Court, and therefore
they would take no part in any such Court. By
the progress of time and the reformation, the priest-
hood has been reduced under another law than
the Canon Law, and we have in our day seen a
Bishop carried into a Police-court for a gross of-
fence. We did not hear of any appeal to his Peers,
the fact, we believe, bring, that spiritual Lorde
have not the privilege, like Lord CARDIGAN, of
being tried before the LORD HIGH STEWARD for
felony. If they commit such an offence they will
be carried before an ordinary tribunal, the ver-
dict of which will be more satisfactory to the
country than the verdict in the case of Lord
CARDIGAN.

The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL adverted to a duel
which took place on the morning before yester-
day, in defiance of the law and the solemn pro-
ceedings which begun and ended on Tuesday.

RAT7'ON-GARDEN.

Hodgson, the driver of one of Wilson's emni•
busses to the Bank, No. 3,931, appeared to a sum-
mons, to answer the complaint of Inspector Miller, of
N division, for furious driving. It appeared that on
Friday morning last at twenty minutes before nine
o'clock, the defendant was observed by Sergeant Wild,
and 212, N division, galloping his horses at the rat e
of twelve miles an hour, towards the City, to the
danger of passengers, in opposition to another omnibus
which was driven with equal velocity.
Mr. Humphries attended for the defendant, and re-
marked upon a few discrepancies in the evidence of the
witnesses. He could not deny that the defendant had
driven a little fast on the occas:on referred to, but
net to the extent described. The omnibus had been
delayed, and gentlemen engaged at the Bark, who
were required to Le there by nine o'clock, was the cause
of the driving faster than usual, and he left the case
for the lenient consideration of the Bench.

Mr. COMBE said that persons anxious to arrive at
their destination at a certain time was no justification
for furious driving, to the danger of the public. The
case was not so bad as some that bad been adjudicated
by him ; it was, however, proved, and he would convict
the defendant in the penalty of 20s. and costs, which
was paid, and the defendant was dismissed.
Another driver of one of Ball's Islington omnibuses
was complained of under similar circumstances, and he
pieaded Gui Ly. Convicted in 20e. and costs, which
was also paid.

VICE-CHANCERY.-1-I(THIS DAY.)

His HONOUR the VICE-CHANCELLOR did not take bis seat
in Lis Court at Westminster till nearly two o'clock, this
being the first day of Easter Term.

HOUGHTON V. HOUGHTON.
His HONOUR gave judgment in this case, dismissing the
bill with costs.

WILSON V. WILLIAMS.
His HONOUR also gave judgment its this case,
which was argued before his Honour about six
weeks since. The case came before the Court
upon motion for a new trial of an issue, hied before Mr.
Baron Parke at Stafford, with respect to the validity of
the will of a gentleman of the name of Williams. The
Juty, under the direction of the Learned Judge, found a
verdict in favour of the will, and the grounds on which
the application for a new trial was made, were misdirection
on the part of the Learned Judge.
His HONOUR after going at considerable length into the
facts of the case, stated that he felt bound to dismiss the
motion with costs.

The Court then proceeded to hear motions, but no case
of any interest occurred up to the thing of the Court.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.

This being the first day of Easter Term, the Court was
opened with the usual formalities. At half-past one
o'clock, Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice
Williams, and Mr. Justice Wightman took their scats on
the Bench.

EDWARDS V. FREENE AND ANOTHER.
In this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Wight-
man at the last Cornwall Assizes, and in which a verdict
was had for the plaintiff, damages 371., Mr. Crowder
applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why the ver-
dict should not be ret aside on the ground of its being
against evidence. The question in the case was whether
there was a partnership between the defendant Preen and his
brother at the time the goods wero sold to him. The evi-
dence was of a very uncertain nature, and a jury impan-
nelled on the following day to try another action against
the same defendants, found a verdict the other way.
Mr. Justice Wig htman said there were discrepancies
in the evidence of the two principal witnesses on the se-
cond trial.

The COURT granted the rule.
Lord DENMAN, after going through the Bar, and finding
that none of the Learned Counsel present bad any motions
to make, observed that he had upwards of forty
enlarged rules lying before him, and the Court was
in hopcb that some of them would be ready for argument.
They should certainly go to the new trial paper on the
fullowiug• day as a matter of course, and it might as well
be then stated as a notice from the Court that they should
take motions every day except those fixed for the other
papers (namely, the Special and Crown paper days), and
if no motions came before them they should immediately
proceed to the new trial paper.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice COLRRIDGE.
This being the first day of Term, his Lordship did not
take his seat upon the bench until nearly two o'clock, and
after hearing one or two motions of course, the Court
rose at a quarter after two.

HUDDERSFIELD MAIIKET, APRIL 13.,-This being a
sort of holday market, there was much bustle but very
little business done. Indeed, it is difficult to describe
the present position of business. Ail is doubt and un-
certainty as to the future ; nnd, consequently, what is
done, is chiefly from sheer necessity. Prices, however,
are firm, ,ind business in the iv:lrehouses is tolerably

worsted and woollen hosiery is very dull, and we doinot
hear of any orders executing for the United States,
which are usually, at this season, considerable buyers.
Were it not for the increa,c in the glove manufacture,
and a growing demand for low cotton hose, both brown
and coloured, a great number of frames would be now
idle. The worsted trade is very flit, but without alte-
