DREADFUL OCCURRENCE

Considerable consternation was created yesterday morning among the'
inhabitants of Queen-street, Seven Dials, by the undermentioned dread.
fill circumstances --It appeared that about • fortnight since a young
man, who stated hie name to be Clark, but whose real name is supposed
to be Jelferiem, by trade a tailor, proceeded to the house of a shoemaker
of the name of Brush, of No. 22. Queen-street, accompanied by a young
woman of great personal attractions, and hired the first floor. They
stated that if a reference was wanting, they could give one to an in.
divides.' residing at Lambeth, but they were admitted into the
house without any inquiry having been made as to their cheese.
ter or other circumstances connected with them. Several oc-
casional but very trifling disputes were noticed to have taken place
between than within the last week, but as they were not of such a
nature as to call for the Interference of the landlord or his wife, they
passed by unnoticed. The young man was not seen above twice by
any person in the house after they had takes up their lodgings there,
but the female was frequent y observed, and generally remarked for
her handsome appearance. Om Wednesday night however, the land.
lord was awakened out of his sleep by a moist In the mom secupied
by the young man and woman, and from a stamping of
a foot against the Soar, be was 'educed to strike alight and pro.
coed up stairs. On his arrival at the room-deer he inquired the CUM
of the noise, when Clark replied that there was nothing the matter, and
he consequently returned down stairs to bed. After this, neither the
landlord nor his wife saw either of their laws. A man, awned Green,
who also resides hi the house, returned hems about one eels& on
Friday moaning, and observing the door at Clark's apartment partly
open, called out to Clark and told him of the fact, when be received an
answer from him. Almost immediately after Green had retired to bed
he heard some one proceed to the door, and, as he supposed, (seemed
it, but which It was afterwards believed was not the case. fee en same
of the lodgers coming down stairs yesterday wonsing they observed
the door open and the young woman lying on the tear. They in-
formed Mrs. Brush of the aataeae, but she &dined imeeforing,
that the young woman might 'be in Maim NA. however,

lodger Green musing down into her mom, and stating that be not
only sow the female on the grimed, but that the Seer was covered with
blood. Riley, a beadiest St. Ones's, being near the house at the time,
was instantly called in, sad on his enterime the repo amempanied by
the landlord, on

IMPERIAL PA P LIA Y. EN T.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Prc. IT.

The Duke of DEVONSHIRE repented a pm i. • 4,
in Ireland, against repading the Ut ion.
Sir A. GRANT brought up a private hill run Cnsll.ons.

IttrUill.

Lord SING said. he had seven petitions to pr eat from parse of
England and Scotland. The yams of the peti loom were numerous.
They demanded cheap prenunest, cheap law, cheap corn, cheap coals,
free trade, and reform la Parliament. The noble lord pretuxtot,
ant, a petition from Ashton for reform and, secondly, one (num
the district of Saffroa-hill foe repeal of the assessed taxes. The
petitions be had to present from re, dead, held out. that it was
necessary a chomp shield take place is the representation of the
people of and Scotland. With respect to the representation of
tkodand. it was rosily a flee. It eat:sided the imagination of mankind
to consider any thbig more objectionable than the represer,tation of
Scotland. A person melt has a more malted idea of the constitution
of Parliament than the noble duke (Wellington) to say one word in
favour Ochs peasant ropremetation of Scotch counties. The petition,
which came from the borough of Arbroath, called upon his Majesty's
present ministers to see the necessity of applying a remedy for existing
abases in the osostitudon of Parliament.

111111111111 M rILTITION.
The noble lord presented another petition, which lie considered s
the attendee of the House. It was front the noblensen, freeholders,
harken, merthants, and manufacturers of the county of Renfrew. The
peddrit was agreed to at a County Sleeting. at raids Sir John Max-
well, Bart. was in the chair. Being biped by one individual upon the
first sheet, he understood it could only be received as the petition of that
individual. He said the attention of their lordships to a part of the
petition which might be considered objectionable in point of form, al.
though he did not consider it objectionable. The words were-- We
counsel your Isedships to allow the people no larger to be subject to op.
prosive taxation and unconstitutional measures." The noble lord did
not see any objection to the words, but if objection could be Ltisecl, it
mast be because it was net intelligible.
Lord HADDINOTON, after the specimen given by the noble lord,
was desirous of bearing the petition reed.
It was accordingly reed at the table. In addition to the words above
cited the petitioners eomplaintd of unconstitutionsl representation,
which imposed upon the people unconstitutional taxation.
Lord HADDINOTON, after the pedtion had been read, wished to
ask the noble lord whether be would consent is withdraw it ? He bad
no desire to throw obstructions in the way of petitions. The respect-
able part of one county in Scotland had cause forward with $ petition,
and h" did not wish to oppose it, provided the noble lord would with.
draw it. and amend the phraseology. If it were not withdrawn, be
should move it be rejected.
Lord KING said the phraseology was singular, but he was still of
opinion it was not subject to objection, because the words were directed
against oppressive taxation, and unconstitutional mamma.
Lord DUNCAN rose to declare, in opposition to a statement made
in the other House of Parliautent, that the public in Scotland looked
with anxiety for refocus in Parliament. In the middle and lower classes
of society in Scotland, there was much information, and they could not
be blind to the degradation imposed upon them, by being deprived of
the elective franchise. They had been told there was a allmm in Scot-
land on the subject of reform, but it was not the silence of apathy, but
that of hopelessness and despair of seeing a change. The noble earl at
the bead of the government had given a pledgeof reform, and the Lim
-
plc of ficodand dung to that pledge. Their lordships would shortly
see petitions on reform from all parts of Scotland.
Lord ELLILNBOROUOII did not cobsider, the petition one that
should be rejected.
Earl GREY said the petition might be much better worded. No
man would be less disposed than himself to adopt harsh measures in
opposition to :dilations; but this petition, when it counselled their
Lordships no to submit to unconstitutional measures, was rather
beyond order. e wished his noble friend to withdraw It, and prepare
another less objectionable.
Lord KIM; did not wish to press the petition I and as his noble
friend wished it to be withdrawn, be should not hesitate to do so.
Lord HADDINOTON said his noble friend had overcharged the
feeling upon the subject of reform in Scotland as much as it had been
underrated in the House of Commons. It was, however, impossible for
a man, not blind, to me that the public mind bad Amami the subject
of reform. They would be compelled to the vandals, and, un-
fortunately, they bad to make head against those who did not want
lefonn so much so revolution. His hope was, that the noble earl
would bring on the question in a constitutional point of view.
Lord FIFE denied that the people of Scotland were apathetic 011
the subject of Refocus, and he thought a little hillside was due to the
gentlemen who had expressed their opinions in the petition. His hope
was that ministers would give the large towns in Scotland the elective
frandtise. The petition m*ht be amended by praying their lordships
to watch bills coming into that house, and see that the public money
was not squandened away as it had been ; that the property of the
country was not deterkeated by private speculations and intensted bo.
din of OWL

Lord RING said the counties of Scotland might be inactive upon
the subject of Rektor, becalm they momopoliscd the reproscatarion.
The Marquis of BUTE denied that the people of Scotland had been
degraded,
Lord DUNCAN reminded the Noble Marquis of the opposition
on the part of the Lord Advocate to a Rail for the relief of Pres.
byterians.
haThe Marquis of BUTS could not consider the Presbyterian body
been
Earaded.
rIDdAtriNLRY was convinced that the question of Reform must
occupy the attention of Parliament.
Lord KING then presented a petition from the overseen of Saffron.
hill district against the New Police.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition bons Sussex for
repeal of the malt duty.

Mr. O'GORMAN MAHON denied that there was any agitation in
Preland. Agitated as Ireland now was, was the poor labourer demand-
bit 2s. 6d. bearding the magistrates, and burning the food and pro-
PertY.
Alderman WAITHMAN complained of these extended discussions.
Nr said lie had a petition to present.
r. HU3I F. said the linen trade was the subject before the house,
aad he maintained that trade should be kept free.
Mr. FERGUSON observed, that he also bad an important petition to
present, and had attended five days without being able to present the
petition. Some new rule must be adopted, or the people's petitions
could not be presented, if public business were to be begun at five
o'alock.

The SPEAKER observed, that public business continued till five
o'clock ; and that after the public business was disposed of, petitions
were again called en. He had last night, for instance, called the hon.
member's name, the hon. member not answeting. (Hear.)

cumstances, till Thursday next.
