CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING OF MAY 13.
M. DUPIN, President.

After our reporter quitted the Chamber, the following dis-
cussion took place upon the presentation of a message from the
Chamber of Peers, connected with the trial of the State pri-
soners.
The ordinary business of the Chamber was for some time
interrupted by the arrival of a State messenger from the Cham-
ber of Peers, who was introduced with the usual ceremony, and
delivered a written message to the President. The latter read
the message containing the resolution of the Chamber of Peers,
summoning to its bar the perant of the Tribune, the gerant of
the Rfforniateur, and the parties who had signed the article
inserted on the 11th of May in both journals. The letter was
as follows :

" Rknis, MAY 13, 1835.

" TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
" Sir—l have the honour to transmit to you the subjoined de-
cision, come to by the Chamber of Peers at their sitting of to-day,
which is ordered to be communicated to the Chamber of Deputies.
" I have the honour, &c.,
" PASQUIER,
" President of the Chamber of Peers."

The folloWing is the decision above alluded to :
" The Chamber, considering the copy of the Tribune newspaper,
dated May 11, and the copy of the journal Le Reforrnuteur of the
same day—considering article 15 of the law of the 25th of March,
1822, and article 3 of the law of the Bth of October, 1830—de-
crees that Hector Bichat, responsible editor of the Tribune, and
Jaffrenon, responsible editor of Le Reforniateur ; A. Carrel ; A
Thouret Joly, ex-deputy ; the Abbe dela Mennais ; Audry de Pnyra-
veau, deputy; Ledru, advocate; Etienne Arago ; Cormenin, deputy;
Dupart, Lemaire, Decemps, M. A. Perier, of Grenoble, A. Lamer,
advocate, and others who signed the letter addressed To the pri-
soners implicated in the affair of April,' and commencing with
these words :—` Citizens, anxious to prove ourselves worthy," and
terminating thus—' the execration of posterity—health and frater-
nity.' [Then follow the names of several other individuals,amount-
ing in all to the number of 92, including the two editors above-
named. The decree then goes on to state, that all these persons
shall be summoned by a messenger to appear at the bar of this
Chamber, upon a day to be subsequently fixed, to undergo an exa-
mination touching the letter above described, as having appeared in
the Tribune and Refurmateur journals, of the llth inst., and re-
ceivo the penalties provided by the law in ease of being convicted
of the alleged offence.]
" In consequence of the names of several members of the Cham-
ber of Deputies being attached to the letter in question, the Cham-
ber of Peers directs that the present resolution shall be commu-
nicated to the said Chamber, so as to insure, in case of necessity,
the execution of the 44th article of the charter.
" PASQUIER, President."

The President having finished the reading of the message,
said that the document should be deposited in the archives, but
that it was not sufficient to obtain the required authorization
from the Chamber.—( Movement and agitation among the
Members of the left.)
The Minister of Justice having demanded to be heard, read
a formal demand, made by him as Minister of Justice, to
enable him to obtain from the Chamber of Deputies its sanc-
tion to proceed against Messrs. Audry de Pnyrayeau arid Cor-
tnenin, for a letter signed by them and inserted in the number
of the 1 Ith of May of the Tribune and the Reformuteur.
The President said, that on occasions of this kind it was
customary for the Chamber to order the printing and distribu-
tion of such documents, and also the appointment of a com-
mittee to hear the accused members. Ile thought that such a
course should be observed on the present occasion.—' Hear.)
M. Comte asked the Minister of Justice if, to his demand
for an authorization to proceed against the two Honourable
Deputies, he would annex the original document, which
formed the ground of the resolution adopted by the Chamber
off' Peers.

The Minister of Justice said that he had no answer to make
to the hon. deputy, as to the junction of the document which
hr required. He (the Minister) had nothing more to do than
to announce his demand for an authorization to proceed against
the members who had signed the letter, and also to declare the
deliberation of the Chamber of Peers, and the communication
which had been made to him on the subject.
The President reminded the Chamber that a precedent ex-
isted for its guidance on this occasion. He alluded to the
case of M. Cabet, in which the Chamber ordered all the do-
cuments to be printed, distributed, and submitted to the
standing committees. He thought that all discussion would
at present be premature, and he would therefore put to the
vote the question, as to whether the documents should be
printed, distributed, and referred for examination to the stand-
ing committees.
The question being put to the Chamber, was decided in the
affirmative by an immense majority. It was also resolved that
the proposition should be examined on Friday next in the
standing committees. The budget of the Minister for Foreign
Affairs was then resumed, but in a few moments most of the
deputies quitted the Chamber, and the sitting was adjourned
at six o'clock.

The Poor'Law Commissioners have authorised the
parish officers of Hull to levy a rate of 12,000/. on the inha
bitants for a new workhouse.

THE BALLOT.—Lord John Russell and his Lady
passed through Salisbury, on Thursday, on their way to town.
The people crowded round their carriage immediately after
their arrival. Lord John shook very cordially by the hand
every one who approached him for that purpose, but did not
alight. One gentleman, while shaking hands with him, ad-
dressed him thus :—" My Lord, this (referring to the loss of
his election) has convinced me of the necessity of the ballot ;
indeed, I am satisfied we must have it." Lord John replied—
" I don't know ;" but there was then an immediate shout for
the ballot.—Nottingham Review.

It is not true that the reporters' hustings at the I
Wakefield meeting was knocked down by the violence of the
thumps given by the worthy chairman of Mr. Wortley's Corn
mittee, in theforcible speech delivered by that gentleman on the
nomination day.
Monsieur Lomanosoff, with despatches for the
Russian Government, took his departure for Hamburg this
morning in the General Steam Navigation Company's mail
packet the John Bull.
MR. BULWER'S NEW WORK, " THE STU-
DENT."—" Mr. Bulwer is one of the living novelists whose name
will go down to posterity, and this not for his brilliant wit,
for his knowledge of the world, for the exquisite sentiment of
his writings, or the exceeding beauty with which he invests
all that he does, but for the fine, and moral, and important
truths of which these are made the vehicle. We cannot rise
from the perusal of his works without the feeling that we are
wiser than before, and, unlike the usual forms in which know-
ledge is presented, which too generally repel instead of invit-
ing, we feel an inclination—nay, a longing—for the repeti-
tion of the feast • not so much from our vivid remembrance of
its zest, as from the unavowed, yet innate, feeling that we are
the better because we have partaken of it. The present work
bears out our opinion. Monos and Daimonos' is in the very
h4hest strain of romance, yet without exaggeration. ' The
World, as it is,' an amusing piece of light reading. ' Fihoti,'
Lake Leman,' and Arasmanes,' are each of them of diffe-
rent styles, yet each of them exquisite ; and, in ' The New
Phmdo,' the author has equalled, if not exceeded, any of his
former productions."—Sunday Times.
AWFUL DEATH BY LlGHTNlNG.—Yesterday af-
ternoon, at two o'clock, at the time that the metropolis was
visited with a storm of lightning and thunder, a very awful
occurrence took place at the house of Mr. Penn, in Walcott-
place, Kennington-road, who keeps an establishment for the
education of young gentlemen. A young gentleman of the
name of Stanhope was struck by lightning. The boarders
were at dinner, and the unfortunate youth, who was about
fourteen years of age, had just arrived at school. He was
standing at the foot of the staircase which leads up to the
school-room, and which is detached from the house, when an
appalling flash illumined the atmosphere, immediately upon
which the deceased fell to the ground. Mr. Malcomb, a sur-
geon of the neighbourhood, promptly attended, and tried to
bleed him in the arm, but without success; and on examining
the body there was found a deep mark on the right cheek, and
which had passed down the right side of the body. On exa-
mination of the spot near where the deceased stood it was dis-
covered that part of the floor was burnt, and that the electric
fluid had entered the school-room, and had passed down the
side of the house, and removed a portion of the bricks, as if
done by a pickaxe. Master Stanhope was under the guar-
dianship of a lady of the name of Watts,, living in Marmion-
street, and his father who is a merchant, is at present abroad.
The body awaits a Coroner's inquest.
