THE NEW SOLICITOR.GENERAL.

Sir C. C. PEPYS, the new Solicitor-General, was intro-
duced, and took the oaths and his seat for Malion.

DUNGA RVAN ELECTION.

The SPEAKER acquainted the house that he had received
a petition against the return of Mr. Jacob for the borough
of Dungarvan.—The subject of the petition was ordered to be
taken into consideration on the 15th of the present month.
Mr, F. O'CONNOR presented petitions from different parts
of the county of Cork, in favour of a repeal of the union,
and the abolition of tithes. The hon. member in supporting the
prayer of the petition, stated that such was the state of feeling in
Ireland on the subject of tithes, and the repeal of the union,
that some years back an Irish clergyman was transported for
being a party to a conspiracy of which he was afterwards clearly
proved to be innocent, and notwithstanding which he was
flogged.
Mr. E. J. STANLEY begged to know when the occurrence
took place. He believed before the time of the Union.—
(Laughter.)
Mr F. O'CONNOR admitted that it did.

Mr. JEPHSON hoped that it would not go forth to the
world that the house had laughed at the statement that an
Irish clergyman had been flogged, because it was not at the
statement but at the manner of the hon. member that the house
laughed. The hon. member begged to refer to a statement made
by the hon. member for ('ork (Mr. O'C.) a few mornings since,
relative to the distress which existed in Skibbereen from the pre-
valence of cholera, and the apathy of the landed proprietors.
He had received a letter from Mr. M` Cart hy, the same individual
who had made the communication to the lion. member for
Cork, by which it appeared that the statements in his previous
letter were greatly exaggerated—the number of persons who
had died not being at all so many as was previously stated.
The hon. member also vindicated the landed proprietors from
the charge of apathy brought against them.
Mr. O'CONNOR said if the debate was adjourned to Monday
morning he would be prepared to substantiate every thing he
had stated.
The SPEAKER left the chair at Three o'Clock.

MR. BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONET-
AGE OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE FOR 1834.—" One of the
peculiar merits of this book is, that it contains the Baronets
(including those of Nova Scotia and Ireland) all arranged
under one alphabet with the Peers. The notices of the
Peerages now under claim form an interesting feature ;
they are a numerous list."— Gentleman's Magazine.
c. This popular work justly deserves to be considered a, a
History of the British Nobility. It is enriched by a variety
of personal anecdotes, never before published, relative to
many illustrious houses, in addition to numerous authentic
details connectel with their lineage, and communicated to,
the author by the noble inheritors of the titles. Tl,e
volumes, containing neatly 1,400 pages of letterpress, ate
moreover illustr :tad with upwards a 1,500 heraldic plates,
and are printed in double columns with so remarkahly den.
and beautiful a type, as to comprise a quantity of matter
equal to no less than twelve octavo volumes !"—John

discovered a small box, which contained the bodies of two
new-born infants. They were examined by a u rgeo ,
who pronounced them to have been-still.born. They bad

The Yorkshire favourite, Bubastes, is evidently on the t!e.
dine; not a single offer was made to back him, the price men
tinned below being entirely nominal; the Newmarket perple
are reported to have' formed an unfavourable opinion of him .
On the other hand, Bentley is daily advancing in favour ; the
same gentleman who has been alluded to in recent reports as
having backed him, took 1,300 to 200, and there can,be no
doubt.that, although quoted at a point higher than Bubastes,
he'is in reality quite as good a' favourite. Olyinpic, Comet,
Glencoe, and Brother to Kate, were backed at slightly di-
minished prices., The closing odds were :-
11 to 2 agst Mr. Watt's Bubastes
13 to 2 agst Mr. Yates's Bentley' (taken)
