the Lords:


the Committee then gave a's:kcal!).
of the present Session, which, though
a of by the SUrveyor-Generaf, and having
the House of Commons without opposition,
as likewise rejected by the Louis. The Petition
went on to state, that so much of bodily danger Nsas
incident to the trade under the present regulations,
that the Petitioners could not forbear, even during
the present Session, to obtain their Lordships' assent
to some legislative regulations on this subject.
The Petition was then acceded to, as also a series
of Resolutions, declaring the impropriety of employ-
ing Climbing Boys, and others expressing the thanks
of the Society to the Duke of Sussex, Lord Alice-
LAND, and Mr. BENNETT, for their assiduity in for-
warding the cause which all of them had so much
at heart.

A Petition to the Commons was also agreed to,
which was signed by most of the company before
they left the Tavern.
Mr. TOOK mentioned, that he had it from high
authority, that on the day previous to the third read-
ing of the Chimney-sweeping Bill, a Noble Lord had
endeavoured to persuade the Lord Chancellor to
withdraw his opposition to the Bill. The Lord Chan-
cellor consented to do so, if a few verbal alterations,
which he suggested, were inserted in it.
Mr. Watt Ams, M.P. stated, that he positively
knew that the fluke of Sussex had been absent from

the House in consequence of this arrangement, and
inferred that it was probable that many other noble
Lords had been absent for similar reasons.
Mr. WILBERFOReE cordially agreed with the Wor-
thy and Honourable Chairman in all he had said

upon this interesting subject, and heartily congratu-
lated the Society upon its renewed efforts for the at-
tainment of their most praise-worthy object. Nor
could he avoid eulogizing the conduct of the worthy
Chairman, who had in this, as is every other instance,
proved himself to be the steady, persevering, and en-
lightened friend to every cause where humanity and,
the interests of his fellow-creatures might be promo-i
ted and improved— (Great applause:.)
, Several other Gentlemen of well-known philan-
thropy addressed the Meeting to the same effect.
The room was filled with respectable company,
among whom were some elegantly-dressed Ladies.

The subject of the dispute between Lord and Lady
Wes-miens, which we adverted to as being under
discussion before the LORD CHANCELLOR, in his pri
vate room, is settled. It appears that deeds of sepa-
ration had taken place so far as that her Ladyship
has enjoyed a separate mainteuance ; that there has
been a separation of property, and that her Ladyship
has been -for some months in a house taken by her-
self, in which his Lordship had likewise a separate
apartment. Mutual friends had, as usual, endeavoured
to reconcile differences, but in vain, when 'his Lord-
ship last week dismissed some of her Ladyship's ser-
vants by the aid of the police, and adopted other
measures, which created an alarm in her Ladyship's
mind, induced her to withdraw herself from the
house in which she was no longer the mistress, to that
of one of her Trustees, and to send the children (the
care of which had been made over to her by the deed
of separation) to the house of her Noble Father. The
case which di" LORD CHANCELLOR heard, was upon
a Writ of Habeas Corpus, issued at the suit of the
Earl, to direct the production of the children, and
the decision has been, that notwithstanding the en-
gagement of the deed of separation, they must be
with the father.

Mr. HENRY SYMONS and Mr. GEORGE SYMONS,
twin-brothers, and Midshipmen onboard his Majesty's
ship SY3ILLE, died in March last, in the 15th year of
their age, at Vera Cruz. The former died of a fever,
and the latter, five days after, through grief for the
loss of his brother.

• SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday an Inquisition was
held on the body of Miss ESTHER FRANGO LOPES, a
most amiable and accomplished young Lady; twenty-
lout years of age, at the house of her father, Sir M.
LOPES, Bait. 3, Arlington-street, Piccadilly.--Alice
Presburg, lady's-maid to the deceased, deposed, that
her mistress (the deceased) went to bed about eleven
o'clock on Thursday night, in good health and spi-
rits, as she always was, and that witness never heard
her complain sf any illness except of a pain in her
bowels, a week previous to her death. That about
seven o'clock on Friday morning the house-maid went
into the young Lady's room, as usual, to open the
windows and inform them the time of day. In about
twenty minutes after Miss Lopes, the only sister of
the deceased, and who slept with her, ran into wit-
ness's room, crying that something was the matter
witik her sister. Witness immediately followed Miss
Lopes into the room, and found the deceased lying
in bed speechless. Witness raised her up in her arms,
but she was quite dead. The family were alarmed ;
and the family surgeon was_ sent for, who cams im-
mediately and attempted to bleed the deceased, but
she was quite dead.—Surgeon Fuller briefly stated,
that on his arrival he found the deceased quite dead ;
but that to satisfy the family, who were in the greatest
state of distress, he opened a vein in the arm, which
bled about a tea-spoon Lull ; and that it was his opi-
nion her death was caused by a sudden fit of apo-
plexy.—The Jury, without further evidence, returned
a verdict—Died by the Visitation of Gon.
Dumbarton Jail has been again broken through,
and two criminals have made their escape by the very
same means as thesr associate did about three weeks
ago. The jail centinelhad scarcely been relieved from
his post on Sunday morning when the escape was
effected. It was certainly bold enough.

the word to lasy, for which curer the Paper has made acknow-
