THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1835,

hid, dated the Bth inst. Serious disturbances were appre-
hended in the capital from the Ultra-Liberals, who
are-by no means satisfied with the tardy measures of
MA RTINEZ DE LA ROSA. SaragosFa, Granada, and
some other cities, were likewise disturbed by parties of
liberals who accused the Government of not redeeming
its pledges. The Carlist Chief CORN ICER, was made
prisoner by the QUEEN'S troops on the Bridge of
Miranda. He had on his person an hundred ounces
of gold. In all probability he has already suffered death.
In the North of Spain considerable changes have
taken place. General VALDEZ, Minister of War,
has dismissed MINA from the chief command,
and is now preparing to place himself at the head
of the army. That MINA has completely
failed, and that all his great boasting has come to no-
thing, cannot be denied. We have not yet learned
who will represent VALDEZ in Madrid, for we under
stand he intends retaining the portfolio of the War
Department.

The report of an engagement between ZUMALA-
CARREGUY'S troops and the QUEEN'S forces -in the
Bastan, in which the former were defeated, has just

reached us.

We are glad to observe; from an advertisement
whiCh appears in another column, that Mr. LESLIE'S
pamphlet on the operation of the Poor Law Bill in the
parish49f St. George's, Hanover-square, has reached
a second edition. It is calculated to do a great deal
of good to the country ; and we are credibly assured
that several metropolitan parishes have already resolved
to adopt the system of parochial relief recommended
by its intelligent author. We trust the adoption of
this system will not be confined to , Metropolitan
parishes alone, but that it will extend to every
part of the kingdom. It is the only system which
-has been submitted to us, based upon the real
principles of the Poor Law Relief Bill. As we are
of opinion that the Poor Law Bill can only operate
beneficially for the country when its spirit is preserVed
in parochial regulations, we cordially recommend this
pamphlet to the perusal of vestrymen and others, be-
fore entering upon their annual labours on Easter
Monday—the day usually set apart for the election
of parish officers. It must be of the first importance
to Vestrymen to be made acquainted, not only with the
operation of the New Poor Law Bill iri an extensive
Metropolitan parish, but likewise with the whole machi-
nery which caused it to work so admirably for the ad-
vantage of both rate payers and rate receivers. The Poor
Law Amendment Bill has certainly realised most of
the expectations of its supporters. There are several
parishes in which it has reduced the expenditure for the
maintenance of paupers, at least one third ; and yet
strange as it may appear, the poor of those parishes
are more. comfortably provided for, than when an
expenditure of two thir+,

ior their use. We were sensible from the
first that the clamour raised against the Poor Law
Amendment Act Was an interested one, and that it
was re-echoed by an unprincipled portion of the public
press, with no other view than to embarrass Lord
MELBOURNE'S Government. Every day brings
us some additional proof of the correctness of this
opinion.

CITY OF CORK ELEC TION

COMMITTEE.

The Counsel for the sittinc, Members informed the Com-
mittee this morning, that they had determined to defend their
seats no further. The Committee accordingly came to the
following Resolution—" That James Leycester, Esq. and
Lieut. Col. Chatterton were not duly elected as citizens to
serve in Parlidment for the city of Cork—that Daniel Cal-
laghan, Esq. and Dr. Baldwin were duly elected, and ought
to have been returned—that the petitioq was not frivolous
or vexatious ; and that they had altered the Poll by striking
off certain names which ought not to have been inserted in
the Registry :"-'--which resolution will be reported to' the
House this evening. Two more liberal members are thus
added to the late opposition.

THE BILL SYSTEM.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Seein,r, in The Sun of yesterday, a report relative to
a certain circular issued by some swindling dealers in bills, I
beg leave to state, for the information of such as are ignorant
"of the extent to which plundering of this sort exists, that in
the City there is a house as large, and as respectable in ap-
pearance, as any banker's or merchant's, occupied by a firm
who have contrived to realize large incomes there for more
than two years. I dare say there are many more of the
same sort in the City. But the West End of the town
is the place for them. There they are found in great
plenty. And I believe I am within the mark when I
affirm, that more than one-half' of the whole body of
attornies practising in this quarter are money-lending, bill-
brokering knaves, living on professional plunder. These gen-
tlemen assume a style of living quite aristocratical—have the
best houses—drink the choicest and most expensive wines—
keep equipages—have their hunters and grooms—canesque
mulieresguegaudent—entertain parties—and live as luxuriously
as men of fortune. I would caution the unwary, lest they fall
into the hands of these harpies. Hundreds of men, formerly in
possession of large incomes, are now reduced to beggary by
bill-discounters.—•I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
BEWARE.

WESTMINSTER MEDICAL

SOCIETY.

( From the London Medical and Surgical Journal of this day. )

PROFESSOR BURNETT, PRESIDENT, IN THE CHAIR.

Dr. Johnson commenced the discussions, by detailing the
case of a female patient, who was labouring under an extreme
susceptibility of two of the senses, viz. sight and hearing ;
and, in order that no noise might be conveyed to the apart-
ment, every avenue leading to the house was thickly strewed
with straw, and every door was muffled, and, every crevice ca-
pable of admitting the rays of light were carefully closed, by
which means total darkness and silence reigned in the patient's
apartment. The other senses are not affected. She can take
mild nourishing fcod, without creating any disturbance ;
but all medicines produce an increase of her sufferings : even
a few grains of rhubarb considerably added to them ; but al-
though she enjoys but little sleep,, opiates are of no avail.
The present attack has lasted six weeks, an interval of three
months having elapsed since the first: both were produced by
moral causes. In the former attack a degree of mental aber-
ration existed, this phenomenon, however, has not manifested
itself again.
Aftet• some discussion on this and other cases, _

The President solicited the attention of the members to the
immense mass of speculative and practical matter that was now
before them, trusting it would not fail to give rise to many va-
luable deductions. The case of hysteria, he said, vividly
brought to his recollection that of a poor sufferer who had not
spoken for upwards of two years and a half ; but her sense of
smell was so acute, that she was conscious of the approach of
any food at a distance of two or more flights of stairs ; and if
even a grape was placed on the floor, or any other part of the
room, she would dart her fingers instantly on it, guided by
no other sense, unless she could see through her eyelids.
Some conversation then took place relative to the inflamma-
tion of the caput mum coli arising from the lodgment of indi-
gestible matter in the part.

CITY , 7' WELVE O'CLOCK.

This day is expected to produce the important event of the
formation of the New Ministry. The public are anxiously
waiting to ascertain the materials of which it will be composed.
Owing to the prevalence of a north easterly wind, we are
deprived of any arrivals from the westward, and we have only
this morning a French mail with an express from Paris, which is
rather of importance. It appears that General Mina has been
superseded in the command of the Army by General Valdez.

THE FUNDS.

Consols, which left off on Thursday at 92 for money, and
924 for the Account, opened this morning at 928 ; for money
oto ; market not so good as on Thursday.
The Foreign Market also closed very buoyant on Thursday,
and opened this morning with the following quotations :
Spanish Bonds, 671 ; Spanish Scrip, B,} pm. ; Portuguese
Bonds, 981. 99 ; Columbian, 50i M ; Mexican, 494 50.

only one day's continuance. He was married on Saturday,
and on the following Monday he returned to town to assist his
friend Lord Melbourne in Cabinet-making.
That riding is the most wholesome of all exercises,
I have little doubt ; for despite all the vile stuff that finds its
way down his throat, who ever heard of a bilious post-boy.
Nimrod, New Sporting Magazine. —Perhaps post-boys have
an immunity from bile, but whoever has noticed the bent, de-
formed, decrepit little old thing yclept post-boy, will imme-
diately recognize the existence of a host of maladies which he
is szije heir to. A man who rides pest is generally quite worn
