Lcuntifully in the neighbourhOorseofWalworth and Cam-

),
at the street door, and the questiou was as duly put—.
"Please will you have the snow swept away from the
frost ?" In more than eight instances out of ten the
trick succeeded, and sums varying from 6d. to 2d. were
realised by the holders of the brooms and shovels from
each house. The alarm excited by the official appearance
of the handbills may be well and truly imagined, while
the fifer
of service just after breakfast shows the
greatest Judgment and knowledge of human nature.
Considerable sums, comparatively speaking, were cleared
by the speculation—one well-worthy of the Stock Ex-
change itself. The bills had evidently been printed some
time, in anticipation of a snow storm.

lowed in the vote on the Address. Nothing is
changed in the state of things, and unless to be incon-
siAent with its former conduct, the Opposition can-
not change its attitude; every vote, besides, sup-
poses a discussion. But at present all discussion,
which does not warn the Government and convert

the Chamber, is only an empty noise. In face
of the course determined on, there is nothing
dignified and sensible, but an inexorable resolution.
The country has no longer any necessity to be
edified about the morality of a Ministry which has a
history of four years; everything, is before the open
day, and more eloquent than language still he the
silence of the tribune and the suppression of the vote.
The country will comprehend the value of this act.
For our part, we unreservedly approve of the system
of abstaining. The Parliamentary Government can-
not be raised in public opinion but by an energetic,
consistent, and continued line of conduct. A com-
mencement has been made, and it must be persevered
in. Let there be in the Chamber two well separated
camps; on one side the Ministry and Ultra-Conser-
vatives, on the other si•le the friends of peace and
order, and the honour of France. France will judge."
This last resource, however, is considered even by
the France as of a dangerous tendency, as well as
contrary to the constitution of the Chamber. That
journal thus allades to the scheme :

" Alarming rumours for the Cabinet were yesterday
in circulation. It was stated that the Opposition was
determined to abstain from voting on the Sscret Service
Money Bill, which is about to be immediately submitted
to the Chamber. To well understand what would be the
gravity of such a resolution, the state of parties in the
Chamber must be borne in mind. Out of 420 Members
of which it is most frequently composed, 213 only vote
with the Cabinet, whereas the Opposition consists of a
formidable minority of 205 votes. Admit as much as
yen please clefts:ions from this minority, you will never
find them in sufficient number to make up, with the 213
Conservatives, a total of 230 votes. But this number is
indispensable, according to the regulations, for the votes of
the Chamber; and when it does not attain that amount,
the ballots and votes are declared de fact) null and void.
In such a strange conjuncture as the present, which
certainly had not been foreseen, the Opposition could
neutralise and render of no avail the whole Governmental
action. In the impossibility of finding the 230 votes in-
dispeniable for the validity of Parliamentary decisions,
the Cabinet would find itself constantly with its illusory
majority on its back, by the side of a still more illusory
ballet. This would be the rudest and most notable slap
in the face that was ever given to stubborn Government.,
less particular about moral influence than the material
part of a political success. Far be it from •us to encou-
rage this demonstration. In our mind, the. Parliamen-
tary mandate does not admit of abstinence from voting.
But the extreme measure with which the Ministry is
threatened evidently proves that there is no longer any
government possible with doubtful majorities. If a
Deputy is morally ordered to vote in all circumstances,
it is not less irrperative on a Cabinet, already in dis-
favour, to retire, before the energetic disapprobation of
imposing minorities. Its persistence under all circum-
stances deeply falsifies the views and economy of the
representative system."
The Glebe in noticing the rumour, says:—
" The Opposition has already tried this system of tac-
tics on the voting of the Address, but it could only draw
off thirty votes, who, while thus showing their opposition
to the Ministry, still thought that the representative Go-
vernment ought not to be treated lixhtly, and that it was
not allowab!e to stop its movements under the prett nee
that it did not act for their profit. We cannot believe
that serious men, who have been, and may again become,
Ministers, like M. Dufaure and his friends, will lend
themselves to the creation of a precedent which, if fol-
lowed, would render a representative Government im-
practicable, It would not be opposition that the adver-
saries of the Cabinent would make by taking such a line
of conduct—and they have a right ta make opposition,
provided it be conscientious and loyal—it would be revo-
lution. It would not be the Ministry that they would
overthrow, but the Constitutional Government. It has
been pretended that it was the lion. M. Dupin who con-
ceived the idea of this mauceuvre. It is impossib'e ! M.
Dupin has given too many pledges of his sincere attach-
ment to our institutions for him ever to attempt to sacrifice
them in a spirit of rancour. M. Dupin has his fits of
ill-humour, which lead him to opposaion, but which can
Lever lead him to revolution. One of the highest magis-
trates of the kingdom, a Procureur-General of the Court
of Cessation, can never set such an example of contempt
for the political law of the nation."
The accounts of the Opposition movements given
by.the Siecle are, however, much more probable,
THIEZS, for MOLE'S name now is hardly ever men-

tioned, is going to fight the battle in a constitutional
way to the last, and the first trial will be on the

appointment of M. SALYANDY to the department of
Public Instruction. That Member is one of the Vice-
Presidents, and as he could not fill that office at the

same time, a successor must be appointed. A trial
of strength, therefore, is to be made on the actual ap-
pointment of I. SALVANDY, and is expected will
" come off" in the course of the week, either on this
change or the Secret Service Money Bill.
According to the Consilationnel, the Minister of theln-
terior is reported to have made known to a great
many Members that the Chamber will be dissolved after
the present session, and that the general election will be
held in November.

We learn by a letter from Berne, of the 27th ult., that
a Central Committee of the Anti-Jesuit party has been
formed there, and that it has already opeuea a corres-
pondence with every part of Switzerland, for the purpose
of a strong demonstration against the canton of Lucerne.
On the other hand, the Government of Lucerne,
in anticipation of an attack, has issued an order for the
general awning of the canton.
A letter from Alexandria of the 10th says :
"In sending his grandson to France Mehemet Ali
wrote a letter to the Duke de Nemours, recommending
him particularly to his kindness. The Prince replied to
the Pacha in the most friendly terms. The letter was
immediately translated and road to the Viceroy, who
gave orders for his principal officers to be vammbled, and
had the letter read aloud in their presence, interrupting
the reading frequently by expressions of gratitude.'

regret.that we have to announce the decease of Lady
Mary Bigot, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess
of Mornington, and widow cf the late Right lion. Sir C.
Begot, the late Governor-General of Canada. This
sad bereavement was most unexpected, her Ladyship
having been only considered slightly unwell within the
last few days, her illness being supposed to have risen
from a cold. On Saturday night alarming symptoms
displayed themselves, and shortly after five o'clock yes-
terday morning her Ladyship breathed her last, at the
family residence in Porchester terrace, her complaint
having terminated with inflammation. The deceased
lady, who wag, as we have above stated, the eldest
daughter of the Earl and Countess of Mornington, was
born sth February, 1786, and married 22d July, 1306,
the Right lion. Sir Charles Begot, second son of the late
Lord Begot, by whom her Ladyship had a family of ten
children, seven of whom are living, Lieut -Colonel Begot
and the Countess of Winchilsea being her eldest son and
daughter. By her Ladyship's demise the Duke of Wel-
lington, Lord and .rody Charles Wellesley, the Earl and
Countess of Westmoreland, Lord and Lady Fitzroy
Somerset. the Earl and Countess of Mornington, Lord
and Lady Cowley, Viscount Wellesley, the Earl and
Countess of Winchilsea, Viscount and Viscountess Chel-
sea, the Marquis and Marchioness of Douro, Lieut.- Col.
and Mrs. Fraser, Viscount Burghersh, the lion. and
Rev. Dr. Gerald V. Wellesley, Lord Begot, the lion.
W. Begot, the Earl of Uxbridge, and several other
families of rack, are placed in mourning.
DEATH Or Ills SERENE HIGHNESS PRINCE LOUIS
HOHENLOLIE LANGENEOURG.—Lotters have bet n re-
ceived from Stutgardt, conveying information of the
demise of Prince Louis Christian Augustus Ilohenlohe
Langenbourg. His Serene Highness was uncle of Prince
Ernest of Hohenlohe Langenbourg, and brother of
Field-Marshal Prince Gustave Hohenlohe. Ho was
horn on the 23d of January, 1774, and married the 24th
of September, 1816, Princess Louisa, daughter of Prince
Christian Frederick of Hohenlohe Kirchberg, who died
the 14th of October, 1821. The Prince was a Major-
General in the service of the King of Wirtemberg.

NEWLY-DISCOVERED FISIIING BANK.—ii fish-
ing bunk of great extent has been recently resorted to
by the fishermen, at a distance of about eighty miles to
the east of Scarborough, where large quantities of fish,
particularly soles, of superior size and excellence, are
now regularly taken, and such has been the effect of this
fresh source of supply to the fish-markets in the interior
of the country, that soles are now selling in the Leeds
and other markets of the manufacturing districts, at a
reduction of from fourpence to sixpence in the pound
This newly-explored mine of marine n ealth has obtained
the appropriate name of the Silver Ban k..—Leeds Mercury.
RARE DEER STALKING.—OD Tuesday week a full
grown stag was shot in the woods of Achilty, by Mrs.
Ross, of Rossie. This is the second instance of this lady's
display of adroit deer-stalking this season, having a few
days previously shot another stag with the German rifle.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco after Term.)
The Court wzs engaged this morning in hearing
motions for new trials. There was nothing of interest
in any of them.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)
The fourth sessions of the present mayoralty was
opened this morning with the usual ceremonies, by the
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and Alderman Hughes
Hughes, &c.
The grand 'jury having been sworn in, the Recorder
proceeded to address them :—The number of prisoners,
he stated, was 161, but it was more than probable th ►t
an addition would be made to the Calender ere the week
would he over. Among the charges were several of a
very serious nature, not less than three of rape, and in
every case the object of attack did not exceed the ae of
fourteen years. Two of those cases, it appeared to him.
required further investigation than the evidence which
would be adduced would afford them. There was. also,
a charge of sending a threatening I, tter, the circum-
stances of which clearly brought it within the operation
of the statute. The writer threatened, that unless cer-
tain sums of money were given, the hou,e of the person
addressed would be set on fire. There was a very grave
charge against a husband f,r having administered poison
to his wife. He would not anticipate the ca-e by enter-
ing into particulars, but it was decidedly a misdemeanour,
and iit would require their closest attention. It would
be trespassing at too great length upon their time d.d he
particularise all the charges which he
_thought of suf
ficient importance to merit special consideratiJn. On
any point, however, that would arise, the Court would
be happy to give its opinion ; and with these brief re-
marks he would dismiss them to their important duties.
At the conclusion of the Recorder's address the Lord
Mayor left the Court.
The petit juries were then sworn.

SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)
The adjourned sessions for the county of Surrey com-
menced this morning at the Court house, Newington,
fore Thomas Puckle, EA., Chairman, and a very full
court of justices. The calendar contains the names d
forty five prisoners, four of which are misdemeanours,
and the rest felonies.
Lydia Lyons and Clara Ellis were indicted for felo-
niously stealing from the shop of Mr. Henry Hamer a
piece of printed cotton, value twenty shillings. The pri-
soners were defended by Mr. B. Robinson.
Police-constable Brook, L 118, was in pain clothes on
the day of the robbery, in the Blttekfciars-road, snd
he observed the prisoner Lyons take the printed ccttoi
from the door, and handed it to the other prisoner ; he
then followed them and tsok them into custody. Lyor s
said that she did not take the printed cotton, but it was
given to her by another woman.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and the Chair-
man sentenced them to three months' hard labour in the
House of Correction—the one at Brixton, and the other
at Guild fi:rd. _

Lincolnshire, but from other quarters the supply was by
no means large. For all descriptions of that Grain the

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Christiana Mervin and Mary Barrett, well-dressed
young women, were charged with robbing Mr. William
Mallard, of No. 49, Burton-street, Burton-crescent, a
clerk, of four sovereigns, one half-sovereign, and fifteen
shillings in silver, under the following circumstances :
The prosecutor stated that last night he hired a cab in
the Borough, and directed the driver to take him to Bur-
ton. street ; he was,:however, set down in Seven Dials, a
neighbourhood he was perfectly unacquainted with, and
was almost immediately accosted by the prisoners, who
seemed to be well known to the cab-driver. lie was
induced to accompany them to No. 4, Lloyd's-court,
where he sent the prisoner Barrett out for some liquor.
At that time he felt his money secure. The other pri-
soner suddenly left the room previously to Barrett's re-
turn, and he directly afterwards discovered that he had
been robbed. He gave an alarm, and the prisoners were
secured by the police, but on searching them the money
was riot found. _ _ .

The prisoners strongly declared their innocetce.
Mr. MALTBY asked the prosecutor it he was sober al
the time?—Tte prosecutor said he was perfectly so.

The weather having become milder in Holland, most
of the ports are now open for vessels. This circumstance
has produced a large importation of live stock from that
portion of the Continent for our markets—they having
amounted during the past 'Seek to 130 Oxen and Cows,
and 100 Sheep. As to the quality of these arrivals, we
may observe that there were some well made up
animals among them, but not a few were suffering from
the effects of the epidemic now so prevalent both in Hol-
land and Franco ; we had on sale 100 Beasts and 60
Sheep. The former found buyers, at prices varying
from 161 to 201; the latter, I/ lOs to 21 per head. Very
large numbers may be expected from Rotterdam this weolc.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of Beasts
fresh up this morning were numerous. Although their
quality was not quite equal to that observed on this day
se'nnight it was an excellent display. Owing, however,
to the approaching season of Lent, and the thin attend
mince of buyers, the Beef trade was excessively dull, yet
the primest Scots found buyers, at, in some instances,
last w.-ek's quotations, but most other kinds suffered a
decline of 2d per Sibs, and a clearance was not effected.
The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cam-

bridgeshire, consisted of 1,500 Scots and homebreds,
while from the North they did not exceed 300 short
horns ; from the Western and Midland districts, 600 He-
refor.ls, Devoas, rents, &o.; from other parts of England,
300 of various kinds ; and from Scot!mid, 200 horned

and polled Scots. The number of Sheep being more than
equal to the wants of the trade, the demand for that de-
scription of stock was in a sluggish stAte, yet we can no-

LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.)
The new Court was again opened this morning for
public business, butit was in,such a dreadfully damp state
that, on Mr. Henry, the sitting Magistrate, taking his
seat on the bench, he said it was impossible to renew
the sittings in the Court in its present state.
The MAGISTRATE directed the fires to be lighted in
the front house in Kennin,gtou-road, which is at present
intended for a station-house ; the Court will Callao-
sequently be again closed for a fortnight or three weeks.
A gentleman of the Stamp-office applied to the Ma-
gistrate for his interference to prevent a breach of the
peace, and handed a letter to the Magistrate, the con-
tents of which were evidently to provoke that gentle-
man to fight a duel.
A gentleman who accompanied the applicant said, that
that the writer of the letter had threatened to stab him
with a dirk, and also presented a loaded gun at him.
Mr. Mime; after having perused the letter, said that
the gentleman might have a peace warrant, which should
be served in the course of the day.

THE LATE MURDER at BETHNAL.

GREEN.—(THIS DAY.)
This mond*, at half-past ten o'clock. Mr. Baker re-
sumed and concluded, at the London Hospital, the in-
quest, adjourned from Thursday night last, touching
the death of Emma Whiter, aged 21. A report of the
proceedings of the previous inquiry appeared in our ira-
pression of Friday last.
Henry Surridge, a licensed victualler, proved having
seen, on Saturday, week, a pistol like the one produced
in Tapping's hand, at the Rising Sun, Manchester-street,
Waterloo-town, and also, that a little time after the
murder—viz., at ten minutes past one o'clock, on Tues-
day morning last, he saw the prisoner, Tapping, again at
the Rising Sun, when, in a very excited way, he called
for a class of brandy, which he drank. Five minutes
after this, Tapping's sister came to the bar of the Rising
Sun, and threw herself into his arms and fainted. She
was removed by Tapping and others. He never heard
Tapping threaten to kill deceased.
'Thomas Capes examined—l am a chair-maker, living
at 42, Air-street, Bethnal-green. I have known the
prisoner Tapping for two years, and the deceased, Emma
Whiter, for eighteen months. For a week previous to
Tuesday morning last, at half-past one o'clock, I had
not seen Tapping. I then saw him opposite to the
Rising Sun publie-houso, just after be had come out of it.
Tapping said to me, "Tom, it is all through you ; and
what is done cannot be undone." He said this abruptly
without having said anything before. I turned round,
and said, " Jem, what is the matter ?" He made no
answer, but appeared very much confused.
By a juror—l do not know what Tapping referred to
when he said, "It is all through you. I was not jealous
of him, and there was no reason why he should be jealous
of me. _ . .

By the CORONER—On Monday night week deceased,
Tapping, and myself, were at a dance ut the Crown and
Anchor, when she quarrelled and fought with another
young woman. 'Tapping and myself separated them, and
afterwards, wheo we left the house and were in North
Conduit-street, Tapping struck deceased with his fist on
the face, and told me that I ought to have known better
than to have interfered with her quarrel. Tapping would
not accompany deceased home, and I did a part of the
way. Idu not know why he struck her.
By a juror—After he struck her, " I said Jem, if
you have any pluck don't strike her, but strike me."
He did not do so, and made no answer. Deceased
pressed me to go home with her to protect her, and be-
cause she did not wish her father to see her with Tap-
ping. Nothing else occurred between deceased and ine
to excite Tapping's jealousy.
Wm. Whiter, a brother of deceased, who keeps a beer-
shop in. Brick-lane, said she came to his house about ten
on Monday evening last, and went into the bar parlour.
Tapping came soon after and went into the tap-room in
which he remained until midnight. At that hour he left
together with my sister, and both of theta shook hands
with witness, and wished him good night. They had no
communication with each r whilst in witness's house.
Mr. Wm. Cumming, house-surgeon, examin«l—
was brought dead into this hospital, shortly
after two o'clock on Tuesday morning la-t. The body
was still warm. I have since opened the body.
Following the course of the wound on the left
side of the neck, I traced it to the upper part of the
spine,
.where I saw, and from which 1 extracted two
bullets. One bullet had divided the carotid artery and
other minor vessels. The injuries caused death imme-
diately. Examined the interior, Scc., of deceased, and
not only was she not pregnant, but could not have been
so. She died a virgin.
The CORONER summed up at considerable length,
stating that the case was perfectly clear, and that the
evidence showed that James Tapping was the wilful
cause of deceased's death. T
here was nothing in the
testimony to show that he was of unsound mind wLen he
perpetrated the murderous act.
Verdict, " Wilful murder against James Tapping."

TAB EARL OF MORNINGTON.—NO improvement
has taken place in the condition of this venerable
nobleman, who still continues to pass restless nights,
and is
.gradually becoming more feeble. The reply
to inquitits to-day was, "His Lordship is much the
same." ; Ilis Lordship's physician remained in atten-
dance to a late hour last night, and held a consulta-
tion this morning. The Duke of .Wellington visited
his noble relative, and the culls of the nobility in-
crease daily.
