TO CORRESPONDENTS,

If the details stated by a " Constant Reader," who writes
from North Shields, are correctly given, the inquest was
irregular from beginning to end. It is contrary to practice,
and, we believe, also to law, to summon any but house-
holders on an inquest, and under such suspicious circum-
stances, it was the duty of the Coroner to order a post
mortem examination.

_I LILY 80, iS44.

Marquis near him (the Marquis of Salisbury), that it
would be advisable to allow the Bill to go into Corn-
mittee, in order that their Lordships might be the better
able to deal with it next year. He did not think that
. the lateness of the session was a good reason for re-
fusing to read a Bill the second time, because nobody
could.tell how long the session might last.
Lord COTTENHAM said that he was surprised
to hear the Noble Earl say that the lateneSs
of the session was no objection to the second
reading of an important measure ; whereas, when the
Noble Marquis and the other Noble Lords round him
(on. the Ministerial side) sat on that. (the Opposition)
side of the House, it was a very frequent objection to
important measures that they were brought up too late.
-(Hear, hear.) This Bill was of very great importance,
affecting a vast amount of property in a range extending
to twelve miles round the metropolis. He was in the
same condition as most other Noble Lords as to this Bill,
that is, he had had very little opportunity of examining
its provisions. He found that it would interfere in a
very singular way with the 'relations between landlord
and tenant. It would alter contracts, and-yet allowed
either party to enforce the contract as so altered,
_even
though the other party should desire that the contract
should cease upon the alteration. The present law for
the abatement of nuisances was to be superseded, at the
same time that the Bill provided no practical means of
abatement instead. For these and several other objec-
tions he should support the amendment.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH thought that the objec-
tions which he had heard were against the details of the
Bill, and not against the principle. He . had purposely
put off the second reading of the Bill to this day, in
order, that Noble Lords might have an. opportunity of
reading it. But be. found the same result in all cases.
He found that no matter how early a Bill was brought
into Parliament, no Member read it until the day it
came on for the second reading—except some one who
took a particular interest in it. He should consider it
his duty to press the second reading of the Bill ; and
also to move that it be committed, for he was convinced
that, with very little amendment, it could be made a
valuable measure.

Their Lordships then divided, when There appeared—
For. the second reading
For the amendment 8
Majority —23
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
,be committed to-morrow (this day).
Several Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and
the HouFe adjourned.

STRAND THEATRE

A pleasant little interlude, entitled La Polka, was
produced at this theatre last evening, with complete
success. The fun of the piece, of course, turns upon
the Polkamania which is so prevalent at the present
'moment, and the heroine is a fascinating French
opera dancer, Mademoiselle Aventurine, a professor
of the true Polka. This character was admirably
sustained by Mrs. Montgomerie, whose broken
English sounded very pretty, and who threw
into the part that mixture of naïveté and
espieglerie, which makes the French female
character so interesting. Around the heroine
circulate various satellites, such as an ancient dancing
master, who teaches the Gavotte, and calls it the
Polka. A young aspirant, who, having been vic-
timised by the old dancing master, comes to Aven-
turine's to learn the true Polka, and there, meeting
with Polly Lightfoot (excellently acted by Mrs. C.
Melville), who has come in search of her husband,
an amorous old coxcomb, who makes love to Aven-
turine, mistakes Polly for Aventurine, and the old
dance of Sir Roger de Coverley, which she teaches
him, for the Polka. All their mistakes are, however,
cleared up, and the piece concludes with the real
Polka, elegantly danced by Mrs. Montgomerie and
Mr. Roberts in appropriate costumes„ and which was
loudly and deservedly encored. This is one of the
best acted and most amusing trifles to which the
Polka has as yet given birth, and it is no doubt
destined to a long run. It was preceded by Martin
Chuzzlewit, in which the acting of Hall, in the double
character of Pecksniff and of Sairey Gamp, is beyond
all praise. His Pecksniff is the best on the stage.
The house, we were glad to see, was crowded from
the commencement of the evening.

IN RE THOXAS EVANS.

The insolvent had carried on an extensive business as a
cowkeeper and dairyman; be was opposed by Mr. Cooke on
the ground of having made away with property; of having
failed to account for a certain reversionary interest to
which he became entitled after the death of his mother,
and, also, with having vexatiously defended an action
brought to recover the amount of an accommodation bill.

NICHOLLS, after hearing very lengthened evi-
dence, ordered the case to be adjourned to compel the
insolvent to amend his schedule and file more correct
accounts.

WILL OF LORD WALLACE•—The will :and codicils
of the Right Hon. Thomas Lord Wallace, late of Fea-
therstone Castle, Northumberland, have just been proved
in Doctors' Commons by Sir Charles Miles Lambert
Monek, Bart., E. W. Hassell, Esq., and W. Nanson,
Esq., the executors. His Lordship gives to Thomas Mac-
lean, Esq., and his wife, both of Carlisle, 5,0001. each, and
legacies to various branches of his family, friends, executors
servants, and very many other persons whom it would be
utterly impossible to specify. The following are the only
parts of the will of public interest:—His Lordship directs
two busts of himself to be executed in marble by Mr.
Campbell, the sculptor (from a cast taken by that gentle-
man), one of which is to be given to his executor, Sir
Charles M. L. Monck, and the other deposited in Fea
therstone Castle, and considered as an heirloom ; all
the plate and pictures in the castle are also to descend
as heirlooms. He expresses a strong desire that this
building may " never be unoccupied, but tenanted by
those who have an interest in it. He observes that
several parcels of jewellery will be found packed and
addressed by himself to various parties, and earnestly
desires his executors to forward them to the persons to
whom they are addressed as soon after his death as may
be. He also directs the interest of 100/. to be paid
yearly to a clergyman of the Church of England at Fea-
therstone, who is " to read prayers once on every Sun-
day, and administer the sacrament at least four times in
every year." The will is very long, and the personal
property is sworn under 45,000/.
RISE IN VALUE OF GROUND NEAR GLASGOW.—
On Thursday week the lands of Stobcross, to the west of
Finnieston, and extending from the Clyde northward to near
Dumbarton-road, were sold by public roup at the price of 3s.
per square yard, imperial measure. These lands extend to
about 63 Scotch or about 80 imperial acres, which being
about 387,000 square yards, makes the price amount to some..
where about 58,000/. ; but as the purchaser pays the auction
duty, which will be about 1,0771., as well as the half of the
conveyance stamp, the price will actually amount to upwards
of 60,0001. We understand that these lands were purchased
by the late Mr. Phillips (by whose trustees they have been
sold), in the year 1817, for about 3,700/., making a rise in
value of upwards of 56,000/.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

Reports were current in Paris that the health of the King
was not very satisfactory. He had not taken his usual ex-
ercise, and there had been no public receptions for two days.
Not much credit, however, is to be attached to these reports,
for we find that the King, Queen, and Royal family, her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent; and other illustrious guests of
the King and Queen of the French, enjoyed on Tuesday a
private -view of the exhibition in he splendid temporary
range of buildings erected for that purpose on the Grand
Carrel of the Champs Elysees. In the evening the " recep-
tions " customary on the eve of the King's fete were to take
place.
On Monday the Duke de Montpensier arrived at Paris from
Marseilles.

The Duchess of Orleans visited Dreux last week, accompa-
nied by the Duke de Praslin and a lady of honour.
Lady Georgina Fane, and General Sir William and Lady
Lumley, had arrived at Paris.

Arnoux ; to be Commander, Rear-Admiral Hamelin; to be
Officers, Captains Tavenet, Guay-de, Taradel, Vaillant, and
Mo nay.
_ _ _ . . _ -

The Presse states that the Bank of France has abandoned
its intention of issuing notes of circulation of 250 f. The
Presse deplores this determination, as the proposed measure
was anxiously desired by the public.
M. Sellier, an opposition candidate, has been elected De-
puty at Cherbourg, in the room of M. de Briqueville, deceased.
He had 292 votes ; and his opponent, General Meslin, 288.
Letters from Rome announce the death of Cardinal Paces,
the Dean or Senior of the Sacred College, on the 19th inst.
He was born at Benevento, on the 25th December, 1756, and
made Cardinal by Pius VII. in 1801.
The Great Liverpool arrived at Alexandria on the 18th,
with 112 passengers for India. The last accounts received

PXTRACTS FROM TOE PUBLIC PRESS.

The work before us gives in simple and perspicuous terms
such directions for the preservation of health as are most likely to be
serviceable to the comer unity."
BELL'S MESSENGER.—" This is a useful medical work; the best
portion appe ,rs to us to be that which treats of the obstruction to
natural functions in the later portion of life. We recommend the
work to our readers as at once scientific and practical."
SUNDAY TIMES.—.. Dr ('rucefix has spoken in the 1 nguage of a
schol.,r, a gent'eman, and a friend. The following passage should
be remembered by all who wish for the gvneral good of mankind :
• Morality suffers sadly by concealment of what, if known and un-
derstood, would operate as a guard against crime.'"
SATIRIST.—" The large amount of useful information, devoid of
the incumbrance of pedantic mystification, favourably distinguishes
this work from most treatises of the same description."
Ace AND ARGUS.—" It is a work that must he read with interest
by both sexes, and particularly those who are suffering from indi-
gestion and mental irritation. We can honestly recommend the
perusal of it to our readers."
ERA. It Is written in a plain and easy style, from which may
be obtined many valuable hints on the method of retaining the in.
estimable blessing—Health."

RECOVERY OF DEBTS (IRELAND).

Lord CAMPBELL laid on the table of the Rouse a
Bill to facilitate the recovery of debts in Ireland. The
object of the Bill was to provide a remedy for creditors
in Ireland against their absentee creditors in this country.
He expressed hi• surprise that thelrish Government had
not brought such a Bill forward before this time.
The Earl of WICKLOW defended the Government,
and expressed his surprise that the Noble and Learned
Lord did not, while one of the law officers of the Crown,
introduce such a Bill as the present if he thought it was
so necessary.
Lord CAMPBELL said he would have done so had
he known that the inconvenience of which he complained
was in existence at the time he was in office.
The Bill was then laid on the table

Lord LYTTELTON presented a petition from a per-
son named Wharton, residing in Stonebridge, 'praying
their Lordships to adopt a plan which he proposed for
the payment of the National Debt.—(Laughter.)
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
Sussex, in favour of protection to agriculture.
