VITRIOL TIIROWING.—A Cork paper of Saturday contains
an account of twn eases of atrocious and cowardly assaults, by
throwing sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol), in the faces of two per
suns in the course-of one day. The first was that of Mr. Harty,
the proprietor of a bakery, who, when his assailant entered his
shop, was writing on a desk inclusea by a wooden railing. These
rails fortunately intercepted some of the corrosive fluid, but a
sufficient quantity reached his face to occasion him great
torture and very serious injury. The second victim was Mr.
Herrick,also a baker, who, while standing at his own door, had
a quantity of vitriol thrown in his face, by a man who passed.
him with etin saucepan in his hand. In . Herrick's case
serious apprehensions are entertained that he wilt lose the
sight of both his eyes. The offenders, in both instanees,,haye
escaped from justice. [At the assizes lately held in this place,
Ann, Marrow was tried and found guilty of a similar offence; but
tliejAulge, Just 03 vndal, reserved-this cane for'the
opinion of the judges, as tn-wheiher it is puniihable nudes LOW

statute, the sooner it is brought within its provisions the better,

Mee uett or a Sox BY HIS ATIIEIt.-011 Friday morning,
Mr. Stanynoneht, the proprietor of a public library and.news-
paper office, Edgcware-road, London. murdered his eldest sun,
a lad about nine years of age, by fracturing his skull with a
boot jack. Mr. Stanynotight after the commission of the act,
inflicted a frightful wuuud on his own breast with a large clasp
knife, which, however, did not destroy him. On the previous
evening he took his son, of whom he was very fond, to see an
exhibition of the " Parisian. Infernal Machine." This sight,
operating upon a mind almost reduced to a state of aberration,
appears to have been the immediate cause of this melancholy
catastrophe.
Lord NVestern, who has been paying his annual 'visit to Bux-
ton, was lately attacked by so severe a fit of illness, as to render
the immediate proisssi(nat assistance of Sir Charles Scuds inure
and Mr. Flint indiseensable. His lordship was fur sotue days
consdered in much* danger, but by accounts which reached us
yesterday, we are happy to say that he is in a state of con-
valescence.
Ecc La s.—This annual wake, degenerated from a pious motive
and a useful custom to a veason of insane revelry, commenced
sin Monday. It attracted from this town droves of people,
the well dressed, the shabby genteel, the genteel vulgar and
the vularly genteel, with all the tag-rag and bob-tail .of light
carts on springs, and heavy carts minus the springs. Eccles is
famed far and near for those barbaric abominations called bull
baits, of which we can never hope to see an end until their pro-
moters are made to take the place of the dogs, and the bull-
owner to endure the torture inflicted on his hapless beast. It is
hard to say wherein consists the attraction of an English bull-
bait. In Spain they manage things indifferently, but here the
sole pleasure. consists in seeing a fine animal tethered in a
small rink the floor a puddle, dashed with spots of blood and
ltant ; a circle of human brutes, grim-visaged, and unpitying,
stand cursing and howling around him ; two ur three of the
same species keeping the ring—one nearly naked, and both
having most probably rolled in the mud from head to heel-, their
hair, (such as they had) skin, and clothes caked with mud, and
their eyes peered from mud sockets. Therestands the majestic
animal, with a round compact flank, a deep and strung shoulder,
and a white dewlap tinged with blood, blood trickling down one
cheek from a wound beneath the eve, and his right ear is bleed-
ing and ragged with the teeth of the dogs, one moment he
tosses his head above the crowd and takes a snuffof the cool air,
the next his forehead is to the ground, his horns set and his eve
upon the dog. It runs at its antagonist, and flying eight yards
above his head falls with both its fore legs broken ; another
comes and its thigh is smashed; a third takes the ball by the
bleeding ear, hut the indignant beast sends it from his teeth and
tramples it under foot. Such are the feats of this game-bull.
Would that right had always the power to repel oetrage.—
Manchester Chronicle.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WxaskspAr.
MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL.
The discussions on this bill being brought to a close, Lord
Jon'st RUSSELL moved the appointment or 4 committee to draw
up the reasons to he stated at the conference with the loi-ds for
disagreeing with their lordship? amendments.
This motion was speed to, and a committee appointed.

SESSION A I. ADDRESSES

Mr. S. R ICE moved that the house resolve itself into a coin-
mittee on the sessional addresses.

The house went into committee, Mr. F. Baring in the chair.
Mr. S. Ries moved the usual vote of £1,200 to the Chairman
of Ways and Means (Ifir. Bernal.) The right hon. gentleman,
amidst cheers from both
.sides of the house, passed a warns
eulogium on the ability and courtesy which the hon. member
displayed in thelliair of the committees, and observed that,
though a man of decided pally principles, his impartiality had
secured hiin the appointment even from a tory administration.
The vote was agreed to.
Mr. S. Rica then moved that £2OO he granted to the chaplain
of the house as a remuneration for his services. He observed
that it had been customary to address the crown to give their
chaplain some church preferment, but the committee on the
officers of the house had considered this improper, and, as it was
intended to do away with ecclesiastical sinecures, it had been
deemed right to adopt the recommendation of the committee.
Sir E. KriaTcueuti. made some remarks, which were inau-
dible.

•
Mr. RuTtivzN said that £2OO was a petty and paltry sum to
give their chaplain. Mt was in his power, he would give £5OO.
After a few words front Mr. Wit,xs, the vote was agreed to,
and the resolutions were reported to the house.
A conversation took place between an hon. rnernbeFtiiid Mr.
S. Rice ina low tone of voice, even the subject of which could
not be collected.

The lectures' publication bill was read a third time and passed.
Lord EBRINGTON moved that the lords' amendments in the
weights and measures bill be agreed to.
-The AT-rouNay-GENEtter. considered that the bill had been
Much improved by the lords.—Agreed to.
captain.FECHEl.l. moved that the house do agree to the lords'
amendmentt on the tithe on turnips bill and the tithes recovery
bill. The amendment of their lordships which proteetedquakers
from imprisonment for ,tithes was, he thonght, i great mprove-
inent. .•

: The ArrottriEv-pErisam. bore testimony to the improve-
ment which the lords had introduced into the bill by this pro-
tection of quakers.
After a few words from fir. RcTiniN itnd Mr. Boarnwicx,
the motion was agreed to.
Dr. BOWRING, in the, absence of Mr. John Fielden, moved
fur returns of the total number of power-looms used in woollen,
cotton, linen; and silk factories in each county in the united
kingdorii:—Ordered.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
house adjourned at one o'clock.
