REPORT OF THE CHAMBERS OF PEERS.

The Sitting of yesterday was remarkable, on ac-
count of the law against the Press having been with-
drawn. The Report, it is said, was nearly ready,
and was to have been presented yesterday. Twenty-
one Amendments had been unanimously agreed to
in the Committee, and this unanimity, conjoined
with other circumstances, enlightened the Govern-
ment.

At the opening of the Sitting, when hardly thirty
Members were present. The Keeper of the Seals
entered, exchanged a few words in a low tone with
the Chancellor, and from the Tribune stammered
a few words, which were very imperfectly heard.
Inquiries were made. He spoke of the Press. In-
formation was demanded; the Law of the Press was
withdrawn and his Excellency had just read the
Royal Ordinance which had been agreed to, it was
said, that morning in the Council.
It would be difficult to describe the effect pro-
duced on the Chamber by such an unexpected cir-
cumstance, and the Peers could not, for a consider-
able time, do any thing but express their astonish-
ment and their joy. In the evening these e;tpres-
sions extended to the saloons of the nobility. It
was generally recognised that the act of the Minis-

ters was an unwilling homage to the dignity and
constitutional views of that fraction of the legislative
power; but that there was a volatility and ingrati-
tude towards the other fraction which had already
adopted it, and even strengthened it for the advant-
age of power. Such of the Peers as intended to
speak on the question, congratulated themselves
that these preparatory labours would be useless.
France, applauding the disinterestedness of their
self-love, will remember their intentions, and in the
midst of her joy will regret the light they would
have thrown on the most important of our liberties.
The report having, towards five o'clock, got into
circulation, that the law against the Press was with-
drawn, an illumination took place in several parts of
Paris; booksellers and printers, as well as citizens of
all trades, put up candles at their windows. In par-
ticular, the establishments of M. Didot, rue du Pont
de Lodi; of M. Santelet, at the Exchange; and of
Ambrose Dupont, were remarked. In the streets
df St. Denis, St. Martin's, Grenata des Lombards,
and others adjacent, a great number of houses were
illuminated. In several places the people let off
rockets, manifesting their pleasure in an expressive
but dangerous manner, and contrary to the orders of

GUIDE FOR FAMILIES AND INVALIDS.-
A New Medical Guide for Clergymen, Families and Inva-
lids, by Dr. Graham, has lately been published, which,
we understand promises to be of great utility. This
Work is entitled Modern Domestic Medicine, and is very
highly recommended by several periodicals of established
reputation. The Literary Chronicle " conscientiously re-
commends it, and feels great pleasure in the certainty that
it will prove extensively useful ;" and in another widely
circulated Miscellany, a respectable Physician states that
" it is enriched with much of all that modern practice has
ascertained to be valuable, and is not only incomparably
superior to Buchan's, but also to every similar work in our
language." Besides an ample account of the nature, symp-
toms, causes, and correct treatment of all Diseases, it con-
tains a variety of other useful information. So valuable
a work cannot fail to recommend itself to every family.

THE TANNER TRADE.—The people de-
pending on the tanner trade are feeling their share of the
general dullness of business. This, however, is not so
much, owing to a lack of demand as from a difficulty in
procuring the raw miderial. The domestic supply has
been rather limited this season, and many of the ex-
tensive hide merchants in Liverpool having failed, or
become embarrassed, a want of confidence has been dif-
fused among the Foreign Merchants, and they will not
consign their property till insured of returns. There is
in consequence a small advance in the green hides.—
In Edinburgh and Glasgow the trade has declined
fully one-third : and in the ancient burgh of Linlith-
gow, eighteen months ago, twenty-four tan-yards were
in full operation, and all was prosperity and happiness;
but now sixteen of these works are shut up, and most of
the poor men are wandering over the country exposed to
the severest privations. It is something soothing to be
able to state, that at the end of the week the prospect was
more auspicious than it has been for some time.... Scotsman.
