Mr. FOSTER presented a . petition from licensed
brewers and victuallers of London and Birmingham against

name of which we did not hear, in favour of the Friendly
Societies Bill.

MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS.

Lord ALTHORP rose amidst the greatest anxiety, and
said, he had to move that the House should adjourn till
Thursday next. I have to state (said his Lordship)
that Lord Melbourne has received his Majesty's
commands to lay before him the plan of an administration.
That being the case, I should hope the House would feel
that the same reasons which induce the House to adjourn
during the former days, would also induce it to adjourn till
Thursday, by which time the plan of the administration will
be in a state to be laid before the House.—(Cheers.)
. , Mr. C. GRANT brought up the Report of a Committee
on Steam Navigation to India, which was laid on the table
and ordered to be printed.
Mr. SHEIL begged to ask the Secretary for the Trea-
sury whether any information had reached Government as
to the State of the Poor in Tipperary. Major Willan had
found 2,000 out of 7,000 in Thurles on the eve of utter
starvation. He was sorry to trouble that Hon. Gentleman
with any questions at so inopportune a time, but the pressing
exigency of the case demanded instant attention.
Mr. F. BARING was not able to give the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman any answer.
The SPEAKER then put the question that the House
do adjourn till Thursday next, which was seconded and
agreed to.
Lord ALTHORP then moved that the orders of the
(lay be read ; which having been gone through pre Anna,
the House adjourned at 6 o'clock.

TAME TROUT.—It is not an uncommon occurrence
for persons residing in the country, to place trouts in their
wells, and they find them very useful in destroying insects,
and keeping the water pure. About eight years age, a trout
three inches in length was put into a well at Delnashaugh,
and it is now fully eighteen inches in length, and so tame that
it will eat out of the hand of any person who may choose to
hold out food for it.—Elgin Courier.
--, THE CAUSE OF SNORING.—The only change
which takes place in the muscles of respiration during sleep, is,
that in proportion as the sensibility is impaired, they are ne-
cessarily excited less readily, and the act of respiration is thus
rendered less frequent, a more powerful application of the
cause being required ; the consequence of which is, that when
they are excited, the air is drawn in with greater force ; hence,
and from the relaxation which is apt to take place during
sleep in the parts about the fences, particularly in those ad-
vanced in life, and those of relaxed habits, the cause of snoring.
Thus we generally observe that the snoring is the louder the
slower the breathing, that is, the relaxation of the fauces being
the same the more profound the sleep. The loudest snoring I
ever heard, adds'the writer (Dr. Philip in his Treatise. " On
Sleep and Death"), so loud as to startle the attendants, was in
the last ten minutes of the life of a person, who died of a dis-
ease of the brain, impairing the sensibility, and who only
breathed three or four times during that space.
