SATURDAY, THIS DAY.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER, in his robes of State, took the Chair at one
o'clock.
There were about one hundred and fifty Members present,
among whom we observed Lord Sandon, the mover of the
address, and the Attorney-General, in court-dresses; Lord
Morpeth, the mover of the amendment, Mr. Bramston, and
Mr. Mullins, in Deputy-Lieutenant's uniform. The Minis-
ters present were Mr. Goulburn, Sir E. Knatchbull, and
Sir George Clerk, who were all attired in the Windsor uniform.
The Hon. H. CORRY, Vice-Chamberlain, reported to
the House, that having waited upon his Majesty pursuant
to the order of the House, his Majesty had been
pleased to appoint that day at two o'clock to receive the an-
swer to the Address at his Palace of St. James's.
COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.

.
Sir GEORGE CLERK gave notice that on Monday night
he should move that the House do resolve itself into a Com-
mittee of the whole House on the Supplies.
Mr. ROEBUCK seeing the Right Hon. the Secretary
for the Home Department in his place, said that he had two
petitions of some importance to present, and he wished to
know when it would suit the Right Hon. Gentleman's conve-
nience to have them presented, ts they were likely to occa-
sion some discussion. One was a petition from a place, the
name of which did not reach us, praying that the House would
present an Address to his Majesty, calling upon him to direct
the Attorney-General to prosecute certain parish officers for
misconduct in matters relative to the Poor Laws. The other
was still more important, and regarded the present state of
Lower Canada.
Mr. GOULBURN said something in reply, which was
quite inaudible.
Mr. ROEBUCK said he would place his petitions on the
order list for Tuesday evening.
On the motion of Sir GEORGE CLERK the House ad-
journed to Monday.
The Speaker then proceeded in his state carriage, followed
by the other Members who were to accompany him to St.
James's, to present the answer to the address. The Right
Hon. Gentleman was loudly cheered on leaving Palace-yard
by the assembled crowd.

THE COURT OF ST. JAMES'S.—Under this head
the " Court Journal" of this day will give details of the
principal Functionaries of State, immediately composing the
Royal Household, and a description of their respective offices,
with personal and historical notices. This is the first list of
the kind ever published, inasmuch as it will exhibit the con-
nexions and family alliances of these distinguished personages
with other matters of interest. The " Court Journal" is sup-
plied by all Booksellers and Newsvenders in town and country,
free of postage. The office is at 19, Catherine-street, Strand.

- -
Lord Henley met a serious accident on Thursday.
He was passing down Red Lion-street, Holborn, on a spirited
blood mare, when the animal became restive and threw his
Lordship violently. He was instantly assisted to the house of
Robinson and Co., and appeared much hurt, but refused me-
dical aid, requesting a coach to convey him to his residence.

Lord Lumley, who has just succeeded to the ancient
title and large fortune of his father, the Earl of Scarborough,
has been taken away from the House of Commons at a critical
moment. By his Lordship being called to the Upper House,
the Opposition lost a vote in the Commons ; and by the ab.
sence of Sir H. Holyoake Goodricke, called away in conse-
quence of the dangerous illness of his father, the Ministeria
side suffer the same loss.

On Wednesday last, the first experiment took place
on the Loire, at Nantes, of a steam-vessel on cones of iron.
The general appearance of this kind of vessel resembles that
of the floating-baths of M. Vigier, on the Seine. The entire
length of each pair of cones, which are united at the base, is
166 feet, from one end to the other. The vessel perforated
the distance from Nantes to Mauves, in an hour and a half,
and returned in an hour and a quarter ; as the distance between
the two places is 16,800 metres, the rate of sailing was about
three leagues an hour against the stream, and upwards of
three with it. No accident occurred. The tremendous rno-

tion is but slightly felt, and the wheel acting only between the
two floating-bodies, which support the deck, no external action
is apparent, and thus the banks of canals are free from injury.
This construction, which is entirely new in Europe, does great
honour to M. Thomson, chief engineer of the steam-vessels—
" Les riverains du haul de la Loire." The machine of the
new vessel was made at Nantes.

ST. PANCRAS.—A dispute has existed in this
arish between the Rev. Dr. Moore, the Vicar, and the Vestry.
_ _

The vestry require that Dr. Moore should provide fOr spiritual
attendance on the poor in the workhouse. Dr. Moore says the
Act of Parliament imposes that upon the parish. The vestry
have appealed to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, who
confirm Dr. Moore'e view. The vestry, at the meeting on
Monday, agreed to a report, protesting against this decision,
and to memorialize the Archbishop of Canterbury on the
subject.

Two accidents have occurred at the Consol mines.
A man named Moyle got somehow entangled in the machine
for crushing the ores, which has an amazing power, by which
he was instantly killed and most•horridly mutilated ; his head
was separated from his body as by a guillotine. Another
called Tyrrell, fell from the ladder, and is not expected to
live.—Falmouth Packet.
The Hobart Town papers last received give the
particulars of the murder of Dr. Wardell, as stated by an ac-
complice, who, with the other two implicated, was in custody.
These three villains, whose names are Grace, Jenkins, and

Tattersdale, were runaways, and on the day of the murder,
they were accidentally met by Dr. Wardell, on horseback,
who, suspecting their characters, seized hold of a branch o
wood, and desired them to follow him. The men pretended
submission until Jenkins took from the grass a gun they had
concealed there, and presented it at Dr. Wardell. On this
hostile demonstration that gentleman exclaimed, " What ! are
you going to shoot me? For God's sake, don't do that." To
this Jenkins replied, " By God, I will," and immediately fired
at Dr. Wardell, being then not more than a yard from him.
Dr. Wardell fell forward on his horse, exclaiming, " Oh dear,
oh dear, lam killed ! " His horse, when the shot was fired,
retreated back a few paces, and then galloped off along the
hill, so that the murderers did not see their victim fall. These
wretches then returned to Sydney, and afterwards_wandm ed
about the country, until they were ultimately taken by the
police, when Grace made the above confession.
ANOTHER INCENDIARY FIRE NEAR BRENT-
FORIL—A few days since we inserted an account of an incen-
diary fire, which took place in the day-time, on the premises
of Edward Roberts, Esq., at Little Ealing, near Brentford,
which was happily extinguished without doing much damage.
On Monday last a second attempt was maliciously made to fire
the same premises. About half-past seven on that evening, as
police-constable Flynn, T, 46, was passing near Mr. Roberts'
stack-yard, he perceived flames issuing from the same stack
which had been fired on the previous occasion. He instantly
gave an alarm, and the Ealing engine being promptly brought
to the spot, and worked from a large pond about a hundred
yards distant from the premises, the fire was again subdued,
after about seven loads of hay had been destroyed. The
Directors of the Guardian Fire Office, in which office Mr.
Roberts is insured, have offered a reward of fifty pounds for
the apprehension of the incendiary.
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—On Wednesday after-
noon last two gentlemen called at 'the house of Mrs. Mathews,
No. 3., Holliday-yard, Creed-lane, Ludgate-hill, where
there was a bill up for lodgings to let, and inquired whether
she could accommodate one of them with a bed, the other re-
presenting that they had come frcm Scotland, and that his
companion, who was unwell through sea sickness, he had met
accidentally on board of the vessel. Mrs. Mathews agreed t,,
accommodate him, and in the evening he came home and re-
tired to rest. He, however, had not been long the apart
ment before he made an alarm, and on entering the room he
complained of being very ill, and reT:,csted Mrs. Mathews to
procure him a small glass of brandy and a few drops of lauda-
num, which she purchaf.'ei, and gave it to him, and he swal-
lowed it off, whett ;fie quitted the room. Shortly afterwards,
however, sL:Cticard,a heavy fall, and cn proceeding up stairs
she found him lying inseniible oti the floor. She went for a
Dr. Holding, who attended and bled him, but he shortly after
expired. It is said that he was greatly alarmed at sea during
the late storm. Mrs. Mathews is not acquainted with his
name, and his luggage, consisting of a couple of boxes, are at
her house. The body now lies for a coroner's inquest.
THE LATE HURRICANE.—The effects of the
high wind during the last three days have been severely felt
in all parts of the metropolis, and several persons have been
wounded in the streets by the blowing down of chimney pots
and tiles. In several parts near London trees have been torn
up by the roots, and great injury has been done to the young
plantations. On the river much damage has been done by the
storm, and a great number of lightermen and coal-merchants
have been great losers by their lighters and barges going adrift.
and sinking with their cargoes. A laden coal-barge went down
near the West India Dock on Wednesday afternoon, and an-
other was sunk in the dock. Several tiers of shipping
broke loose in the Pool ; some got aground, others ran foul
of each other, and received considerable damage. The river
during the whole of Wednesday and Thursday presented the
appearance of a rough sea, and few small boats could live in it,
while the steamers with all their gigantic power could scarcely
make head-way against wind and tide. A singular accident
happened on Thursday at noon ; a waterman named Tunni-
cliff, after attempting for some time to pass under the city in-
shore arch of London-bridge, had his boat capsized by a sudden
gust of wind and went under it; with great difficulty he was
saved by Mr. James Fogg, a Thames police surveyor, and his
boat's crew, who took him ashore. But for their assistance
he must have gone down, the weight of his brummagem pre-
venting him from swimming.
ANCIENT LEGAL POLICE.—Ahoklt st, Cieffietit's
church, and the parts adjaceq wert foe cent disturbances by
reason of the ;luting's of the Inn* of Chancery, who
unrnli on nights, walking about to the disturbs,-- • ere so
of such as passed along the streets, -'
fain to keep watches. In the the inh:itiatanndtdsawngereer
with six more of the-'-- i.,ar 1582, the Recorder himself,
church ,ionest inhabitants, stood by St. Clement's
- see the lantern hung out, and to observe if he could
meet with any of these outrageous dealers. About seven at
night they saw young Mr. Robert Cecil, the Lord Treasurer's
son, who was afterwards Secretary of State to the Queen, pass
by the church, and as he passed, gave them a civil salute; at
which they said, "Lo 1 you may see how a Nobleman's son
can use himself; and how he putteth off his cap to poor men,
our Lord bless him." This passage the Recorder wrote in a
letter to his father, adding, " Your Lordship hath cause to
thank God for so virtuous a child."—Strype.
