FINES AND RECOVERIES BILL.

On the motion of Mr. JOHN CAMPBELL, the House re-
solved itself into a Committee oa the Fines and Recoveries
Bill.

On reading the resolution that compensation be granted
to officers who suffered from lon of fen by the abolition
of fines and recoveries,

Lord ALTHORP expressed a doubt whether the House
ought to bind itself by such a resolution.
Sir R. PEEL wished for a Select Comraittee to aseer.
tain what officers were entitled to compensation, and what
sums would be requir, d.
Mr. J. CAMPBELL said that he should be able to ex-
plain this to the Committee.

- The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he under-
stood hie HOll. and Learned Friend did not intend to take
one farthing of the public money for these compensations
without a Select Committee.

Lord ALTHORP observed that they were about to de..
cide whether there should be compensations or not; but
the House ought to have some ground to go upon, and not
sanction them by a general vote,
Sir R. PEEL referred to the Act of 1830, which was
intended by him to prevent claims for compensation for
loss of fees to patent officers.

Mr. CAMPBELL said that these officers were not in-
cluded in that Act.

Mr. GOULBURN read from the Act, " Officers con-
nected with fines and recoveries."

Mr. Alderman VENABLES recommended that there
should be a return of the officers for whom compensation
was required.

Lord MILTON inquired who were the parties to be
benefitted by this measure ? He understood it was the
landed interest of England. Was it, then, just to those
who possessed personal property only, to tax them in order
to relieve real property from this burdensome process? If
the House did grant compensation, it should he from the
pockets of those who were relieved.

The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and asked leave to
sit again on Monday next.
ANATOMY BILL.
Mr. WARBURTON, in moving the second reading of
the Anatomy Bill, said that he would not enter into any
discussion of this Bill on the present occasion, as it had
been so fully discussed on the last night. Besides, the
objections which had been made to it could be better an-
swered or remedied in the Committee. If the House
would allow him to take the second reading of the Bill
now, he would go into the Committee pro forma on Mon.
day, and would there move some clauses, with the object
of amending certain legal solecisms which the Bill con-
tained at present, and which had been pointed out to him
by some of the Commissioners of real property.
Mr. HUNT objected to the Bill, which he looked upon
as most admirably adapted to britalize (we suppose the
Hon. Member meant brutalize) the people.—(A laugh).
He then read a letter from the Constitutionnel, reeona-
mending the artificial corpse of some French surgeon as a
more efficient mode of learning anatomy than the dissec-
tion of the actual human body. In consequence of his op-
position to this Bill, he had been threatened by a surgeon,
in the public papers, that he should be dissected.—(A
laugh.) Now he (Mr. Hunt) would take good care that
the surgeon should not Burke, before he dissected, him.—
(A laugh.) He venerated the practice of a surgeon.
They were in general men of benevolence ; but still, when
they gave advice for the benefit of the species, they gene-
rally took a fee for the benefit of themselves. He would,
therefore, call upon them to give up their own bodies for
dissection, before they called upon the Government to le-
galize the dissection of bodies in every hospital throughout
the country.

The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
conatnitted on Monday next.
IRISH REFORM BILL.
On the motion of Mr. STANLEY, the Bill to amend the
representation of the people in Ireland was read a first
time, and was ordered to be read a second time this day
three weeks, and to be printed.
The House then adjourned at Half-past Eleven, till
Monday.

On Monday, the 19th ult., the Session of
the National Assembly of Greece was opened and defini-
tively constituted, when DEMETRIUS ZAMUDOS, a Hydriot,
was appointed President ; M. LAußrato NAcos, a native
of Romelia, Vice-President; and M. ENEAN, also a Rome-
liote, the Secretary. All the Deputies from the islands,
with the exception of those from Hydra, were present.__
Count AUGUSTIN CAPO D'lsTatA, President of the Pro-
vincial Commi..sion of Government, pronounced an open-
ing address, gave an account of the Administration, of the
present situation of the country, and resigned his power
into the hands of the Assembly. The greatest tranquil-
lity reigned in all Greece. The English Admiral was at
Nauplia. Admiral Hum:ix was daily expected. On the
7th December a lamentable occurrence took place at Ca-
lamata. M. NOIRON had been sent with a serjeant to
a ♦illage; a dispute subsequently arose between them,
when the latter, no doubt intoxicated, gave him several
cuts with his sword, one of which took off his hand, and
he was so severely wounded on the head that the life of
the sufferer was despaired of.

ELOPEMENT.—Yesterday, between twelve
and one o'clock, a respectable looking couple, accompanied
by a bride's-maid and bridegroom, presented themselves
at the vestry-room of St. Mary's, Whitechapel, being
provided with a license. The necessary preliminaries
having been gone through, the parties proceeded from the
vestry room to the front of the communion-table, where
they knelt down. The Rector (the Rev. Dr. Marrrtras)
was about commencing the marriage ceremony, when he
wasinterrupted by the approach of two respectable look-
ing individuals, who rushed into the church in breathless
haste. They instantly seized the intended bride, and told
the Rev. Gentleman not to proceed with the ceremony.
They were the uncle and father of the young woman, who
had eloped, and was going to marry contrary to the wishes
of her friends. The young woman, after recovering from
the surprise, declared that it was quite needless to attempt
to prevent the accomplishment of her union with the
object of her affections, and therefore entreated that
the ceremony might at once take place, assuring them
that if they did not do so, they would be only retard-
ing it for a very short time. Her friends, however,
refused complying with her earnest entreaties, and see-
ing her so determined in her purpose, they had her and
her intended husband removed from the church to a police
station in the vicinity by a constable. From the expla-
nations which took place there, it appeared that the young
woman, who is in her 22d year, and of very prepossessing
appearance, is the daughter of a respectable and wealthy
inn-keeper at Woolwich, and is entitled to considerable
property. Her " adored" is only a constable in the
EI division of Police, and, singular enough, belonged to
the section attached to the station-house to which he war
brought. The friends of the young woman again en-
deavoured to prevail on her to abandon her intention, and
entreated her to accompany them home, but she obsti-
nately refused to listen to them, and declared that nothing
short of absolute force would separate her from her lover.
Finding themselves in this awkward dilemma, and to pre-
vent a further erpose of the business, her friends con- 1
sented that the young man should accompany her home.
The parties then got into a coach, and drove off amidst the
cheers of several hundreds of men, women, and children,
who, in consequ:nce of the circumstance, had congregated
round the church and in front of the station-house.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT BY FIRE.—On Wed_;
nesday last, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock,
an accident occurred of a most distressing nature in
the family of Mr. KITELY, of George-street, Edgeware-
road. His eldest son, who is between eighteen and nine-
teen years of age, had retired to bed, and in about an
hour afterwards the inmates of the house were alarmed by
his calling for assistance. On his father and one of the

farther progress of the fire was prevented. Medical a.-

who, in a few minutes, became in a state of delirium from
the intense agony he was enduring, and on examining the

Admitting that Ireland contributes less than
four millions out of fifty millions of taxation
paid by the United Kingdom—and conceding
consequently the great inferiority in wealth of
Ireland to Great Britain—the question remains
behind,—what is the end of representation ?
What is it that is sought to be represented ? Is
it land, houses, merchandize, or Exchequer
bills ? or is it the people that dwell in the land,
to whom the right of choosing their Members
is to be given ? And, if the necessity of the
case requires some limitation upon the exercise
of universal suffrage, is that any reason why so
monstrous a disproportion should be kept up
between different parts of the same kingdom,
that Ireland, with a population of one-third of
the whole United Kingdom, should choose only
a sixth part of the Legislature by which that
kingdom is governed ? Surely, the American
writers have too much cause to accuse the Re-
form measure of want of principle when they see
it to contain such anomalies as this.

For once, Mr. CROKER spoke to the point
when he instanced the county of Cork, with a po-
pulation of near a million, as an example of
being unfairly dealt with, for want of an increase
in the number of its representatives. Mr.
CROKER'S motives are obvious, as are also
those of certain Irish agitators, who are ever
ready to avail themselves of the errors of a well-
meaning Government, to heap such errors on
the head of that Government with coals of fire
superadded. But we are greatly surprised that
Ministers are not more cautious of playing into
the hands of the agitators than Mr. STANLEY'S
speech denotes them to be. We recommend Mi-
nisters in the most friendly spirit to pause for one
day with the Irish Reform Bill, to give them
time to digest the two recent articles on Reform in
the North American Review. Let them ask
any intelligent foreigner, such as Prince PUCK-
LER MUSKAU for example, whether it is not in
the nature of things that this limitation in the
number of representatives must be one of the
surest ways to make the Irish desire a Parliament
of their own. The Irish Members are unani-
mous in their complaints on this head, for they
well know the feeling of the people—they well
know the spirit that is abroad in Ireland. There
is nothing whatever in the argument of the ques-
tion being settled at the Union—for, if it was
settled in the manner contended for, it would be

time when they brought themselves within
the power of the law ? Why, even the House
of Lords itself, the gravest, the best bred,
the best tutored, the best educated, the
highest Court of Judicature in the three kingdoms,
trained from earliest youth to a dextrous con-
cealment of the feelings, and to all the finesse
and refinement of civilised life :---why even this
awful assembly, notwithstanding it was graced by
the presence of those truly Christian Ministers,
the Bishops,—blessings be on them and their's
for evermore !—could not restrain its passions
when the Park guns thundered the dissolution
in its ears. Nay, not only could it not con-
ceal its feelings, but it actually burst forth
with a display of passion, which even Bil-
lingsgate itself could scarcely equal. And
is this to be passed without animadversion ?
Are apologies to be made for men in elevated
situations, because a coronet blazons on their
carriages, and none for the poor, the ignorant,
the misguided, the infatuated ? Is the Peer's
passion to be justified, and the poor man's mad-
ness to be visited with the severest penalties of
the law e

We are far from desiring, by these cursory re-
marks, to extenuate the conduct of the Notting-
ham rioters; they were deeply criminal, and should
he severely punished ; nevertheless we think that
death is too severe a penalty to inflict on them ;
especially when the excited period at which their
crimes were committed is taken into considera-
tion, and above all when it is remembered that
the highest Legislative Court in the Kingdom
was the first to set an example, even in the
presence of its SOVEREIGN, of violence, in-
subordination, and indecency, to the people.

His MAJESTY is expected to arrive from the
Pavilion, at Brighton, at St. James's, on Monday next, at
the usual hour.

Despatches were received this morning at the
Colonial-office, from Gibraltar.

They write from Napoli, 23d December, that some
blood has been spilt at Argos; that the two parties came
to blows, but the Government, assisted by the troops, and
some pierce of artillery, prevented further disturbances

The division of last night may be taken by the country as an
earnest of the opposition to the progress of Reform which may
be expected ; and we regret to think that there is a prospect of
the country being kept longer in a state of suspense.
It was scarcely to be expected that, after the unequivocal
opinions expressed by the country in favour of Reform, so many
as 99 Members would have been found unwilling to go into the
Committee to consider the details. It is true the motion made
by Mr. Croker was to postpone the Committee until Tuesday
next, on the pretence that there were details respecting some of
the boroughs which had been before Lieutenant Drummond that
were not yet printed, though they were before the House.
Toe Ministers called on the House to go into the Committee
as the preliminary stage, to enable the House to decide whether,
as the first clause provides, 56 boroughs should be disfran-
chised—i. put into schedule A—or not.
It was stated by Lord John Russell that the details of the
boroughs which Sir Robert Peel and Sir Charles Wetherell,
with some little warmth, declared were essential to the considers.
tion of the first clause, would not be required until the Com-
mittee should have gone through the whole Bill.
The first clause only pledges the House •that 56 boroughs (the
number determined on and agreed to in the last Bill) should be
put in schedule A, but not what boroughs should form that
number. The House, therefore, would not require any of those
details which could influence the House as to which of the
boroughs should be put in schedule A for several days; and in
that time the returns will be printed, and in the hands of Members.

The object of the division, t. erefore, is not to be mistaken, and
we trust the Members who have so well supported the Bill in its
former stages will not now be remiss, and allow the chance of
surprise in any one stage of the Bill. On this division an re were
present only 235 Members out of the OS, scarcely more than one-
third of the whole, and a little management in the Opposition
might have beaten the Ministers ; and, we ask, what would the
country think of that ? It will be necessary that every Member
who really is anxious to see the Bill soon passed should be pre
sent, or never leave the House without a pair ; and we hope that
measures will be taken to give correct lists of these who attend
and do their duty in support of the
Although the lists of the Minorities are of less consequence, it
is desirable also that these should be before their constituents, if
they have any.
