We hear that the three lodgings wanted to
complete the northern wing of Garden-square are to be
built this year. One of the handsomest squares in Britain,
from its elevated situation, and the grand prospect it com-
mands of the surrounding country, will then be completed,
to the ornament of the city, and the admiration of stran-
gers.— Glasgow Chronicle.

HEALTH AND LONGEVITY.—In the county
of Wigton, and on the property of Lord STAIR, celebrated
for its salubrity, there at present exists a patriarchal couple
of the respective ages of 96 and 92 years, and who have
been wedded these 74 years! whilst both enjoy the best
health. During this long period they have had 21 children,
of whom five are still alive. Every morning the patriarch
swallows a gill of whisky befioe breakfast, and has no scruple
at any time in doubling this dose. His height is six
feet four inches, and what is somewhat remarkable,
all the children were of very low stature. Nor is
it to be overlooked that, during the period he has ex-
isted in this" vale of tears," he has been seventy years an
elder in his parish ! Caledonian Mercury.
On Saturday last as some persons were on the
track of a fox on Dartmoor, near the Teign-head, the dog
suddenly stood at hay, and it was found that tke remains of
the body of a man crossed their path. It had evidently
lain in its then sitiu.tion for some months ; all trace of
futtu•es had been (luau oyed by dogs or birds of prey, and
so extensive had beta the progress of putrefaction, that,
together with the rotte❑ state of the clothing, a separation
of the limbs took place on the slightest touch. The hat was
on the head, which was nearly separated from the body ;
hut it was iapossible to ascertain whether death had been

occasioned by violence. From the remains of clothing, as
Abe body lay, it is imagined the deceased was a farmer's
servant, the jacket being hort and of fustian,
cpromon
blue waistcoat, corduroy breeches, 1.41-re and a pair
of shoes, which
I:,eerr hrendert. On Sunday, an inquest
was on these rtmaiins, 'and the Jury found a verdict of
found Dead." The inquest was held on the desolate
spot on which the body was found, the snow lay thickly
round, and so intense was the cold that the I,oroner could
merely record the verdict an.-4 yrroco& the signatures of the
J`Jrl%l4,,viror; an order, that a Shell sbould be procured and
the body interred at Prince Town.—Exeter Filliny PM.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS..—(LAST NIGHT.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord SHAFTESBURY, and
Lord MaLVILLE, sat as Commissioners at a quarter before
Four o'clock, to give the Royal Assent to the Exchequer
Bills Bill, the Army and Marine Mutiny Bills, the Edin-
burgh Gas Light, and several private Road Bills.
The House then adjourned, and sat again at Five o'clock.
Lord KINNOULL presented a petition from the Minis-
ter and other Inhabitants of the city of Perth, against fur-
ther concessions to the Roman Catholics. Also two others
from different parts in the same county to the same effect.
The Duke of SUSSEX presented petitions from the
Roman Catholics of Long Sutton, the parish of Sutton,
Lincolnshire, three from the county of Limerick, one from
Antrim, and another from an individual, an elder of a
Protestant congregation in Birmingham, all in favour of
Emancipation.

Mr. ORD and others brought up from the House of
Commons two Private Bills; and also a message, request-
ing to be furnished with a copy of their Lordships' evi-
dence on Kyley's Divorce Bill.
Lord SIDMOUTH presented a petition agaisst the
claims of the Catholics.

Lord LORTON presented 25 petitions from the Pro-
testants of different parishes in Ireland, against concessions.
Toe Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a petition
from a parish in the county of Cumberland, against the
c'aims of the Roman Catholics. The Right Rev. Prela'e
(as we understood) stated in a very low voice, that in a
few days he should, as be had been requested, present a
petition from 700 Under Graduates of Cambridge against
Emancipation.

Earl GREY presented a petition signed by 2,126 of the
most respectable inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in
favour of Catholic Emancipation.
1..,)rd DURHAM presented a petition from a parish in
the county of Durham, in favour of the Catholic Claims.
This petition would not have been brought before their
Lordships had it not been for one presented of a con-
trary nature from the same town, by the Noble Lord
(Eldon) on the cross benches.

Lord ELDON suspected that this petition could contain
nothing like the number of signatures that the one had
attached to it which he had the honour of presenting.
Lord DURHAM rose and observed that, in getting
up the petition, more attention hail been paid to col-
lecting- the respectability of the county to affix their
names to it than in gathering together in a lietero,ienote
mass the names of all persons, however ignorant
and unintelligent, that could be got hold of. The present
petition was signed by most of the people of wealth and
intelligence in the place, and not by the ignorant and un-
educ,tted whose signatures were appended to the other
petition. He would just state one fact respecting a man
who signed the latter petition. That individual thought
that be had been signing a petition to get rid of the attacks
of the resurrectionists—(A laugh)—and when told what it
was to which he had actually placed his name he expressed
not a little surprise.
The petition, having been read, was laid on the table.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a peti-
tion from the Roman Catholics of the county of Tyrone, in
favour of their claims.

Lord KENYON presented sixteen petitions, all against
further concessions.

Lord KING presented several petitions in favour
of concession to the Catholics. He acknowledged the
courtesy of Lord Eldon in having delayed presenting
a petition to the House for several days from the Welch
Calvinists. Than those petitioners, a more intolerant set
of beings never lived. He thought that if his religious views
were to become the subject of investigation by those peti-
tioners, and by bad Cardinals, he should stand abetter chance
with the latter.—(A laugh.)—He had presented a petition
fiom another set of those persons, of a more tolerant disposi-
tion, and whom the intolerants bad turned out of their so •
ciety, in favour of the Catholics. The Noble Lord on the
cross-benches a few nights ago had presented a petition,
as he stated, from ninety-four Dissenting Ministers in
London and Westminster.—Now, he begged leave to
say, from what he had learnt, that only one of the
ninety-four petitioners was belonging to what was called
the three denominations of Protestant Dissenters. The
other petitioners were doubtless very good shoemakers, and
tailors, and doubtless excellent preachers—(Laughter,)
—but, with only one exception, they did not belong to the
three denominations of Dissenters. He would now turn
from that subject to another. There was one extraordinary
petitioner, whose signature was to be seen in a petition
that came from Exeter against further concession to the
Roman Catholics. He did not mean to disparage that
singular petitioner, nor did he mean to deny his right of
petitioning. He would now relate the fact to which he
alluded, with their Lordships' permission. He had been
informed, from very good authority, that when the petition
was lying in that city for signature, a boy, in passing along
with his companion, went to sign it. Having put his own
signature to the petition, he then took up the paw of his
companion—which was a dog—(Laughter)—and signed
with it the name John Rover. He (Lord King) had
examined the petition, and there stood the name of John
Rover. Would their Lordships not attend to such senti-
ments as these :—" I, John Rover, mast humbly implore
your Honourable House not to alter the Protestant Con-
stitution as established in the year 1688 ?"—(Loud
laughter.)—The petitioner might lament, as a Protestant
dog, the inroads, that he feared, were to be made in the
glorious Constitution as established at the period of the
Revolution.

The Earl of ELDON made an observation, which ex-
cited considerable laughter, but which was very imper-
fectly heard below the bar. Ile was understood to say
that he hoped the dog was a good rat-catcher.
Lord KING tben said that most probably when the dog
had performed his task be wagged his tail with great sa-
tisfaction. The Noble Lord then presented several peti-
tions in favour of concession, from different parts of the
country.

The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from a
parish in Essex against concession.

- The Earl of ENNISKILLEN presented a great many
petitions of a similar tendency from parishes in Ireland.
Among these was one from the town of Enniskillen, and
another from Howth, near Dublin.

---
A petition of a like description, from Castle Dougla%
in Scotland, was presented by the Duke of RICHMaND.
Seven petitions, in favour of concess:orts, from Eden-
decry, Rhode, and other places in Ireland, Were presented
by the Marquis of DOWNSHIRE.

- Lord FARNHAM presented upwards of ..10 petitions,
praying that no further political power tray be granted to
the Roman Catholics, Irom parishes in Monaghan, Cork,
Limerick, Cavan, and I)(mm:hire.

•
Lord KENYAN presented sixteen petitions, with a
similar prayer, chiefly from parishes in the principality
of Wales,

Petitions against further concessions were presented
from places in the counties of Tyrone, Antrim, Belfast,
and Down ; by the Bishop of Lincoln, from Huntingdon;
by the Bishop of Carlisle, from Carlisle; by the Earl of
Eldon, from Earle, in the county of Ross ; and from
various places in the counties of Lanark, Dumfries, Caith-
ness, Ayrshire, Aberdeen, and Stirling ; all flies@ peti-
tions directing their Lordships' attention to the principles
of the Act of Union with Scotland ; aho petitions from
places in the counties of `.work., Buckingham, Northamp-
ton, Derby, Durham, Gloucester, Monmouth, Essex, and
Lamas ttir.

The 'East India Writers' ,appointment Bill passed
through a Committee. The rvport to be received to-
morrow.
flavne's Divorce Bill went through a Committee.
Adjourned at a Quarter to Seven o'cloie.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(LAS,., NIGHT.)

Lords, tor, tho k.urpo,e of giving the Roya.

Ou the motion of Gene, at G.%scorxg, Ikhae the Ref.aor:
on the Liverpool Church be bi.anWit up,
D• W. HARATLy •slijeeted to the receiving the
R.i.t,4t On this WI, as king contrary in principle to an
Act 11,4,,.cd about. 10 years since, authorising t;•,.. Cotnnus-
sionei•s lor. 13uilding Churches, who had at their dispc,,ti
1,500,000/., to grant sums of money fur that pur;.ose.
where additional Churches were required. By the return,
which had been made to the House, it appeared that the
Corporation of Liverpool, had, without making any ap-

plication to the Commissioners, expended upwards of
90,0001. in building Churches, and as the Corporation was
thus giving an Ecclesiastical jurisdiction which might be
injurious to the Church, he would oppose the present mo-
tion, and move as an amendment, that the Report be
brought up this day week, that tine might be given' to
take the same into consideration.
Mr. HUME supported the amendment, upon the prin-
ciple of its being wrong that CAporations should thus re-
quire the right of presentations to Church Livings.
General GASCOYNE, is reply, stated, that he would
not persist in the motion, which was ultimately postponed
till this d .y week.
Mr. BELL presented two petitions against the Orphans
Duty on Coals, from the Coal Owners of London and
Southwark.
Mr. FERGUSSON said, that this duty ought not to be
continued. He would ask his Hon. Friend the Member
fin- Westminster, if he would submit that the people of
Westminster should be taxed for the local improvements
of the City of London.
Alderman WOOD contended that the coal-owners had
more reason to complain of the combination in the north,
by which ss. or 6s. per chaldron were laid on coals. Part
of the Orphans' Fund had been applied to the improvement
of Westminster, as well as of London and Southwark.
After a few words from Mr. Alderman Warrostarr,
the petition was ordered to be referred to the Committee
on the Bill.
On the motion of Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN the Bill
for rebuilding St. Dunstan's Church, Fleet-street, was
read a second time.
The LORD MAYOR presented a petition from several
individuals against the proposed approaches to London-
bridge.
Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH postponed the motion of

which he had given notice, respecting the island of Ter-
ceira, till after the Easter recess ; the Hon. Member also
gave notice,' that on Thursday next lie should present a
petition from the City of Edinburgh in favour of Catholic
Emancipation.

Sir EDWARD KN ATCEIBULL presented petitions
from Deptford, and nine other places in the county of
Kent, against any further concessions to the Roman
Catholics.

Mr. MUNDY presented a petition from Chesterfield
and two other places in the county of Derby, against
the Catholic Claims. The one from Chesterfield was
agreed to at a public meeting regularly convened, and al-
most unanimously—it was also signed by three Magi-
strates

Lerd G. CAVENDISH said the Magistrates who had
signed the petition did not reside in the neighbourhood,
and he was sure they did not express the sense of the ma-
jority of the district.
After a few words from Mr. ARKWILIGHT, the petition
was brought up and read.

A Message from the Lords announced their Lordships
having agreed to several private petitions.
Mr. DUNCOMItE presented a petition from Leeds,
signed by between nine and ten thousand persons.
Mr. MARSHALL did nat deny that the signatures were
respectable, but he did deny that the majority of the inint-
bitants of Leeds was against concession. The counter-
petition was signed by 16,000 persons.

Mr. DUNCOMBE remarked that the petition signed by
16,000 persons was from Leeds and the adjoining parishes,
which was not the case with that he now presented. The

I-lon. Member (Mr. Marshall), four months ago, had pre-
sided at a Meeting in Leeds, and it took him three quarters
(.f an hour to decide which side had the majority. He con-
tended that the Protestants, not only of Leeds, but of the
whole county of York, were opposed to concession.
Lord MILTON observed, that if his Hon. Friend (Mr.
Marshall) had decided justly (and nobody disputed it), it
proved that, as far as Leeds was concerned, the majority
was in favour of concession.

Mr. W. DUNCOMBE presented six petitions from
different places in Yorkshire against the Catholic Claims.
Lord CLEMENTS presented a petition from the cor-
porals and drummers of the Donegal Militia, praying for
compensation if they should be included in the reduction
of the Militia.

The NOBLE LORD also presented a petition from a per-
son named John Edward Kenny, member of the Christian
School Society, praying that no law might be passed dis-
advantageous to the interests of such Society. The Noble
Lord stated that the apprehensions of the petitioner were
founded on the provisions in the Catholic Relief Bill, re-
lative to the order of Jesuits. •
THE CATHOLIC CLAIMS.

Mr. MOORE presented a petition from the Rev. Sir
Harcourt Lees, Bart. against any concessions to the Ca-
tholics, and stating that the petitioner bad discovered the
existence of a general apostolical conspiracy for the de-
struction of the Protestant religion throughout Europe.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman pronounced a warm
eulogium on the private character of the Rev. Petitioner,
who, he believed, though zealous in his opinions and stre-
nuous in their expression, had excited no hostility or ani-
mosity, nor even, he believed, ill-will, amongst his oppo-
nents. In concluding, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
stated that it was the earnest request of Sir Harcourt Lees
that his petition might be read at length.—(A general cry
of " No, no.")—Ordered to be printed.
Mr. MOORE also presented a petition from the mini-
sters, merchants, and other inhabitants of the city of
Perth and its vicinity, against further concessions to the
Catholics. He called the attention of the House to this
petition, which was most respectably signed by between
four and five thousand people.
Mr. HENRY MAXWELL presented four petitions to
the same effect, from the inhabitants of Killishandra, in
the county of Cavan ; from a parish in Antrim ; from
the Minister, Elders, and others belonging to the Presby-
terian Congregation of Antrim ; and from the Ministers
and Members of the Ebenezer Independent Chapel in
Dublin. The Hon. Gentleman also presented a petition,
to which he called the particular attention of the House,
Never had there been a more respectable body of petititesers„
It was from the Graduates of the University of
and was signed by 1,110 persons, amongst whom were
the signatures of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cum-
berland, the Chancellor of the University, the Most Rev.
the Lord Primate, Vire-Chancellor of the University, two
Archbishops, seven Bishops, and many other Dignitaries
of the Established Church, eighteen Doctors of Law,
several eminent Barristers, the Vice-Provost and seven Ex-
Fellows, fifteen Doctors of Divinity, nine Doctors of Me-
dicine, and the President of the College of Physicians, and
148 Masters of Arts. Care had been taken that no indi-.
vidual whose name was merely on the books of the r:,01.
lege, should affix his signature. There was 4 res°.on why
the Masters of Arts were not more numerous

because since 1793, with one exception,
_presentative of the University had been of that
°Pi":,on. Now the fact was, that the constituency of the
University was confined to the Fellows and Scholars, while,
the Masters of Arts were scattered over the country, and
not entitled, as in England, to vote at the elections. The
Hon. Gentleman in the course of his speech read nearly
the whole of the petition, in the contents of which he en-
tirely concurred.

Mr. CHOKER would not deny the respectability,
talents, or intelligence of the petitioners ; but he did deny
that their petition spoke the sentiments of the University,,
as it professed to do. The petition was no proof that evisu,
the sense of the graduates was against the Catholic clr,:ims,;
for he had ascertained, on the best information, that they
total number of persons entitled to sign it under that de-
scription exceeded 4,000, and this petition, after all the
exertions made to get signatures to it, had otity 1,1 /Cr—,

in ut of this question held out to that country. The Jai-

rite Hight Hon. Gentleman conelnded by saving he felt it
iiece-s,ry to make these few observations, because he was,

When, however, the friends of ilitori;ranee discovered that
