prejudice those rights; 1. t, • t.t I • treaty were ratified, they
must consider that no af.,thelt • privileges had taken
place. This country, in common With the other contracting powers,
would maintain the treaty of 1815, and uphold the free and entire
navigation cf the Rhine. He cottld•assure the right hon. gentle-1
man ( Mr. Grant) that his Majesty's ministers were quickly alive to
this and all other subjects involving the commercial interests of the
country.
ilk. C. GRANT observed that his attention was drawn to this
subject from a statement he had read in a paper some short time
aKu,.in which jt was asserted that a treaty had been entered into, to
whith Franey, Prussia, Bavaria, Germany, and the Government of
I lova-, were parties. The impreseion on his mind was that it was
Oct a project, but a treaty, in which all the powers had joined. The
treaty of 1815, however, had never been complied with, foras related
to vesscis coming from the Baltic and some other places, they had
always been excluded.
Mr. PEEL observed that what he had stated to the house was in
accore.ance with the most recent information which government had
rezei.ed. A project of convention between Prussia and the Ne-
crlatitis had been submitted to the Central Commission at May-1
crize, titt they had pronounced no opinion upon it. He believed
that *at treaty would not omit to recognise the interests of this
country, for the British Government does not relinquish her claims,
whether such a trea►y be ratified or not. Whatever might be the
result, this country would not permit any infraction of the terms of
the Treaty of Vienna in 1815—(hear). A fact, of which, per-
haps. the right hon. gentleman .was probably unaware, he would
men ion, showing that the navigation of the Rhine was open at the
present time to English vessels--viz. an English vessel had pro-
ceeded so far up the river as Cologne, and there discharged her
cargo. He mentioned this as indicative of the disposition evinced
by the King of the Netherlands to permit the free navigation of
the river. _ _ _

3lr. GRANT was aware that several vessels had made the at-
tempt to proceed up the river, but from the heavy duties levied,
wMt the exception of the one alluded to, all of them had been
obliged to relinquish it.
Mr. PEEL— The British government will consider the exaction
of heavy or prohibitory duties, when ascertained to be the case, as a
breach of the treaty for maintaining a free navigation. (Hear.)

REQUESTING A FURLOUGH.

The late General Barber, of the Royal Irish Artillery, was an ex-
cellent officer, a strict disciplinarian, and most punctilious in every
thing relating to his military duties. He had a regular form of ad.
dressing him when any of the men had a request to make, such as
for a furlough or pass. &c. he form was three regular taps upon
the dour, three steps into the room, then to the right about, three
steps back, then shut the door and advance. _

One morning a private came to request a furlough ; his manner
of entrance did not please the General, who was just sitting down to
breakfast.

General.—Stop, Sir, that ls not the way to enter your General's
room. Sit down here ; you shall be the general, and 1 will be the
private soldier.
Down the soldier sat at table, and commenced to the good things
so unexpectedly within his reach. The tea, toast, and ham vanished
like snow off a wall, while the general marched to the outside of a
door—the three taps were given with masked precision, and" Come
in" pronounced by a mouth crammed with toast—the three steps
made—the door shut, and the salute given—the soldier quite at
home.

Soldier—Well, my lad, what do you want ?
General—A furlough, your Honour.
Soldier—For how long busy eating.)
General—Six weeks, your Honour.
Soldier—What kind of a man arc you ?
General—A vet', good man, your Honour.
Soldier—Were you ever flogged ?
General—No. Sir.

Soldier—Well, have you any money? You know I never grout
leave of absence until I see the ash necessary to carry all expeners.
This was a puzzler, for the Ger.eral happened to have no CAW, 10
his pocket.
Soldier—l can't grunt your request, my lad, until you show me
the cash. The soldier resumed his repast, v hile the General ap.
plied to one of his aids-de-camp, who was present, and enjoyed the
scene, from whom the General got the necessary supply.
Soldier—Well, my man, have you got the cash ?
General—Yes, your Honour.
Soldier—Well, my lad, you shall have your furlongh.
The General now resumed his rent at the table, is sohliLr,
who had paid all dt:e at tt mion, sc:Ld to ail:tar.ttioa us tie General
had done, obtained his furlough, and the beat breakfast he had er.r
made. The good natured General enjoyed the assurance of the s:,l-
- diet as much as his aid-de-camp, for he loved a joke.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, Juxic 3.
Mr. Justice JAM ES PARKE sat to-day for Lord TEN-
TE RDEN.

PATTIRSON V. MORNAY.

This was an action against the defendant, for not at-
tending upon his subpcena in this Court, to give evidence
for the plaintiff in a case wherein Mr. Jones, the marshal
of the King's Bench, was defendant. The plaintiff ob-
tained a verdict against Mr. Jones, but it was con-
tended, in this instance, that the damages would have
been greatly increased if the defendant had appeared as
a witness.

A medical man, called on the part of the defendant,
proved that Mornay was ill at the time the plaintiff's
cause was tried; but the Jury, under all the circum-
stances, found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 501.
A number of undefended causes were disposed of.
London, England, 1830-06-04

PREVENTION OF HYDROPHOBIA.

A plan has been extensively tried at Zurich and
Breslau, and many other parts of the Continent, for the
prevention of this disease, which consists not merely in
cutting out the bitten part—mere excision has been too
often found unavailing—but in combining with the ex-
cision of the part effectual means for keeping open the
wound and maintaining it in a state of suppuration during
a period of at least six weeks. Other curative means, as
the exhibition of mercury, belladonna, or lyltoe, were
also employed in these cases ; but upon these little re-
liance can be placed, the distinguishing feature in the
plan of treatment, and that to which its success, therefore,
is attributable, being the keeping open the wound for the
time mentioned.

The following results, taken from the " Edinburgh
Medical and Surgical Journal" for 1826, leave little room
to doubt that, although there is too much reason for be-
lieving that hydrophobia, in the present state of our
knowledge, is incurable, that disease may, in a great pro-
portion of cases, which would otherwise end fatally, be
effectually prevented by this plan of treatment. From
1810 to 1824, the number of persons bitten by dogs, ad-
mitted into the Breslau Hospital, amounted to 184, of
whom only two died from the development of hydrophobia.
From 1783 to 1824 inclusive, there were admitted into
the hospital at Zurich, 233 persons who had been bitten
by animals—viz. 182 by dogs, 50 by cats or foxes, and
Iby a martin or polecat. Of the whole of these, four
only died, two on the second day of admission, and in
whom the disease had probably become developed before
they were submitted to the treatment ; and the other two
were bitten in parts (inside of the cheek and eyelid) where
the prescribed means could not be employed with the re-
quisite exactness.

METROPOLITAN CHARITY SCHOOLS.

Yesterday, pursuant to annual custom, the childre,.
belonging to the different charity schools of the metro.
polls attended Divine Service at St. Paul's Cathedral
The gentlemen composing the Committee, among whom
were Mr. Capel, the Member for Queenboroueli;
and Mr. Child, of Thomas-street, took the most acne
part, had previously made all the necessary army,
mews on a scale which equally provided both
comfortable accommodation and appropriate display.—
Benches, rising aniphitheatrically, and in the form oi
a vast decagon, were occupied by the children, both nr.l.
and female—the former being seated on the upper, and nn
latter on the lower tiers. They assembled to the numlim
of between four and five thousand, all presenting. the
neatest possible toNeasrance ; and their costume being
diversified by a great variety of colours, the scene taken
in the aggregate was peculiarly imposing. Although i.
rained incessantly during the morning, still the applicant
for admission were as numerous as on any previous occa-
sion, excepting always the memorable day when die
Emperor of Russia attended to witness a similar exhibi-
tion of British charity, and was so forcibly .truck with
it. The body of the cathedral was crowded in ever}
part front an early hour, and these individuals et
were admitted by tickets to the select pews, imm. •
diately under the dome, took their seats about 12 o'clock
forming a very large concourse, in whist were sonic
tinguished foreigners, who contemplated the scene wits
apparent admiration. Shortly after tho Lord Mayor. at
tended by the Sheriffs, and several privets: friends, lea.
entm.ed his pew, the servi.e commenced, and was per-
formed throughout in the most solemn and impressite
style. Mr. Attwood presided at the organ, and. undrs
his direction, the gentlemen of the choir did ninp!,
justice to the admired strains of Handel, the childrti:
joining occasionally in the chorus. Dr. Monk, Dean
of Peterborough, preached on the occasion, and ns
his text from the 18th chapter of St. Matthew, verse 14.
being as follows :--" Even so it is not the will of yer
Father, which is in Heaven, that one of these little um s
should perish." Expatiating on these words, the Very
Rev. Gentleman made a powerful appeal to the immense
congregation before him, and the result proved that an
who were present duly appreciated the appeal. The suns
collected equalled, if not surpassed, any that was sub-
scribed on former anniversaries, and persons of every
rank in life seemed emulous to acquit themselves in a
manner worthy of the lest feelings of the heart, so far as
regarded the moat sacred cause in which those feelings
0
could be concerned.

NEW CHURCHES.

A Bill is now before the House of Commons " to
amend and render more effectual the Acts for the build-
ing of additional Churches in populous Parishes :"
which preceding Acts are five in number; two passed in
the late, and three in the present reign. This emends-
tory Bill occupies 14 pages. The most important provi-
sions in in it are clauses providing—
" That " the Commissioners may divide the permanent
income of any parish, applicable to Church purposes,
among the districts, &c. with consent of Bishop and
Patron, and of the Incumbent, if interested."
That " the apportionment by the Commissioners of
permanent charitable funds, when enrolled, to be bind-
, ino• upon all trustees."
e•That the powers of 59 Geo. 111. as to providing addi-
tional churchyards or burial grounds, be extended to
Chapelries having right of burial, and separate rates.
That the Chapels of consolidated Chapelries, under 59
Geo. 111. sect 6, be repaired as District Churches.
That a parish may be divided into a distinct and dis-
trict parish at the same time or at separate times.
That the Commissioners, with consent, may make any
church or chapel the parish church of any parish, and
the parish church a district church or chapel of ease.
That parishes which have been united may, by Order
in Council, be again separated.
That tithes, and all endowments, may in such cases
be apportioned with certain consents.
And that the bishop of diocese may enforce preaching
a second sermon after second service.

PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF TUE i•!7
OF CANTERBURY TO LORD SONDES.

The major and corporation of the city of Conte:
wiabing to testify the high resrect in which they lio.l I
the private and public virtues of Lord Sondes, unani-
mously voted that the freedom of their ancient city
be presented to his lordship. His lordship, liming re-
ceived an intimation of the honour which aw:liieri bias.
arointed Wednesday last for the reception of the ciaviii
alai other civic dignitaries at his magnificent seai, [see„
here a splendid entertainment had been pan iik4l.
The expense of the procession, which was numerous, v. 4,
defrayed from the city purse. The mayor, having al.
rived at Lees Court, in an appropriate speech pre,etikl
hio lordship with a superb box of considerable v::' .e.
containing the freedom of the city. His lordship re_
ceiveil the present in a manner which did infinite
to his feelings, and then courteously invited the mavoi
and corporation to partake of his hospitality. A tabh; of
fifty covers was laid in the great hall, and spread v..ith
every delicacy. The evening concluded with gre.o.
cordiality.

MR. GURNEY'S STEAM-CARRIAGE.

Yesterday this novel and ingenious machine was again
exhibited in the Regent's-park, the object of the patentee
being to demonstrate the difference between drawing and
carrying. Latterly it was the practice to use the machine
as conducting another carriage, which was attached to it
(as in the case of a journey to Bath, and the Duke of Wel-
lington's carriage at Hounslow.) Yesterday the intention
was to show the perfect ease and safety with which the
machine itself would bear a vehicle expressly built for it,
so that the machinery appeared merely as the axle and
perch of the vehicle, and scarcely exceeded in size that
now in common use. It was in the form of an open car-
riage, and contained ten gentlemen. It drove steadily,
and occasionally with great rapidity, when the throng
permitted, and performed several sharp turns (to use the
' common phrase) with astonishing command of guidance,
Mr. Gurney directing at will the small handle or helm :
in fact, it may be held and guided by a child. The
uncommon fineness of the day had attracted a num-
ber of loungers in the Regent's-park, and ladies in
carriages and equestrians followed the steam-carriage
in all directions during its various evolutions, which
continued for an hour and a half. A good deal has been
said and written respecting the principle of this steam-
carriage, which however is, after all, not known, although
simplicity is its great distinguishing characteristic. It
differs from all the other steam-carriages we have seen in
two apparently essential principles—it gives more power,
while it insures perfect safety. The extreme lightness of
the engine combines 19-20ths more power, in proportion
to the weight, than Bolton and Watt's engines, and about
16-20ths over Trevathick or Woolf's ; it exposes an im-
mense heating surface of a peculiarly conducting power,
which is effected by decreasing the internal area, and in-
creasing the external surface of the boiler, by the inge-
nious construction of Mr. Gurney's plan. The advan-
tage of safety consists partly from the same principle, but
more especially from the form and division of the boilers,
which are constructed of tubes, instead of the common
plate boiler—a tube, as is known to mechanical persons,
only exposes three times its diameter to the internal
pressure, consequently a tube of one inch exposes three
square superficial inches only, while a moderate plate
boiler exposes 1,296; and hence the absence of risk in
Mr. Gurney's application of scientific principles. The
ease with which the passengers travelled yesterday was
like that of a boat, the only noise being that of the fric-
tion of the wheels of a common carriage on the pavement.
The rate of motion continued rather to possess an in-
creasing power, as the time of the journey lasted. We
are informed that the French Government have, within
the last fortnight, opened a communication between Bor-
deaux and the Mediterranean by a steam-engine, fitted
in a boat, upon this principle, which has successfully
stemmed the current, or rather torrent, of the Garonne.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—TuuRsDAT.

Hamerton's Divorce Bill went through a committee; counsel
were heard, and witnesses examined.

There was a ballot for an appeal committee on the Clyde Naviga.
tion Report ; the following were declared to be the committee :
D. O'Connell, Sir H. Parnell, F. Munday, C. W. IVynne, the
Hon. IW. Stanley, P. Corbett, Mr. Lyttleton.
The calling over of some of the names of the house occasioned
considerable laughter ; for instance, that of F. R. Lushington, Esq.
the said hon. member being now in Bombay, and therefore could
not very conveniently answee the calL
The Dublin Wide Streets Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Report of the Port Glasgow Dock Bill was presented and
agreed to.

Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from St. Giles's
Cripplegate, against the Scottish and Irish Removal Bill.
Col. DAVIS presented a petition from Worcester, for the more
easy method of recovering small debts.
Alderman WOOD gave notice that, on the 29th, he should sub-
mit a reduction of public salaries, corresponding with the altered
prices of provisions.
Sir H. PARNELL presented a petition from the Queen's
County, against the proposed assimilation of duties.
Mr. HU3IE presented a petition from an individual named
George, imprisoned by the Court of Requests in the Borough
Compter. From what he knew of occurrences that took place there
and in Whitecross-street, he felt persuaded that imprisonment for
debts under 51. ought to be abolished.
Mr. Alderman WOOD supported the prayer of the petition.
Mr. C. CALVER'f said that the worthy alderman would confer
a great benefit on the imprisoned debtors, and on the borough, if he
would attend to this subject.
Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from an individual of Isleworth,
complaining of the manner in which the assessed taxes had been col.
lected of him. His house was broken into, and property carried off
to the amount of 2L odd, for the taxes, while the petitioner was ab.
sent in the country. He (Mr. H.) thought that such harsh proceed.
ings would justify the repeal of the assessed taxes. The petition
was from Julius Adolphus Scroder.—Petition ordered to lie on the
table. He should not move that this and the preceding petition be
printed, because he had not examined the truth of their allegations,
and because he should-propose to refer them to a committee.
Mr- HUME moved for returns of the salaries of the Judges,
Barons of Exchequer, de. in 1792, and how paid ; also of the
Commissioners et the Court of Assembly in Scotland also, of the

‘, Understanding that a committee are sitting for the purpose of
obtaining a remedy for the ruinous evil of general mourning', I
beg leave to submit to you respectfully how much and how severely

in ever; instance (and I have been in the business more than 20
years) it has never occurred without producing the most afflicting

employ. On the last occasion, commencing as it did at the begin.

ward-ompelled to discharge, and being females employed in a delicate

MR. O'CONNELL'S LETTER.

Housz Or COMMONS—FRIDAY.
MY DEAR Sta,—Announce trumpet-tongued that the valiant
Duke of Wellington perseveres in all his taxes—the newspaper
stamps and all ! Sir John Newport saw him at one o'clock this day,
by appointment, and got the conclusivefiat of the "council of war"
—that England should be relieved of taxes to the amount of
3,500,0001, and Ireland burdened with 300,0001, because she is—
bless the mark—prosperous ! Is there any man in Ireland so
stupid as not now to perceive the value of a domestic legislature ?
Think you that any Parliament in Ireland could dare at.
tempt to add, at such a moment as this, to the burdens of
an.exhausted and starving population ? The Royal Duke—for 1
think he should be so in name, as he is in reality—said last year,
that he would be mad if he looked for the office of Prime Minister.
Was his Highness prophetic ?
_ _

But look at home and see—now see the reason why " the friends
of Ireland, of all religious denominations," were proclaimed down.
This does, indeed, prove the sagacity of those who would crush
every organ of expression by which the feeling of Ireland could be
exhibited. They paid us the compliment to avow oar utility, even
by the despotic act of suppression.

the beauties—l cannot tell you the sensation produced on
me by one ••••'. I had seen her two or three years
ago, but I was occupied by other matters, and she had
passed from my recollection ; that is a miracle, which now
that I have seen her again astonishes me. How any one,
who has once seen her, can forget her, is to me unac-
countable. It is the most haunting, spiritual, divine
beauty that ever broke upon me. It is Pasta made lovely
—the very personification of genius, breathing out of the
noblest and loftiest order of human beauty. She is, in a
word, and to keep to the limit of common sense, singu-
larly and pre-eminently handsome, and I know no words
to express my admiration of her. You ask me whom I
speak of ? 1 think it impertinent to mention her name ;
I shall only say that she is the grand-daughter of a great
orator."

TO THE HONOURABLE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS

IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED.

The Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the
Cities of London and Westminster, Membersof
the Metropolitan Political Union.

Showeth—That your petitioners are at this moment heavily
pressed by taxes, incurred in support of attempts to force particular
forms of Government on other nations.

That your petitioners feel great fear and apprehension of any
measure whereby the same might be in danger of being increased.'
That it is highly satisfactory to your petitioners to perceive that the
negotiations begun for the purpose of involving Great Britain in an
attempt to force a particular form of Government on the people of
Greece, have been interrupted by the refusal of an eminent indivi.
dual to be any longer connected with the same.

That on these premises your petitioners pray that your Honourable
House will take the opportunity of the interruption or stagnation of
the negotiations as aforesaid to take such steps, either by Address
to his Majesty, or in any other manner which, in consideration of
circumstances and precedents, may scent most meet, as shall tend
to obtain a declaration, or other effective assurance or guarantee,
that Great Britain will neither directly nor indirectly be a party to
establishing any particular form of Government in Greece, until the
people of that country shall have expressed a desire for the posses.
sion of such form, or shall, at all events, have given their consent.
And your petitioners will ever pray.

Mr. CARPENTER then moved that the foregoing peti-
tion be adopted as the petition of the Metropolitan Politi-
cal Union, and that it bo confided to the care of Daniel
O'Connell, Esq. for presentation. Carried unanimously.
—Several members were then ballotted for and approved
of as members of the Council.—A collection of near ten
pounds was subscribed for and raised in the room, to meet
the expenses of the approaching General Meeting. The
Meeting then separated.
