to.night, he hoped that the country would see that he had-done'
his duty, and that the failure was not his fault. (Hear, hear.)
His right hon. friend had said that he bad exaggerated the
quantity of malt consumed on a farm of ZU acres; but he had
referred to a farmer from North Buckinghamshire, then in the
house, who bad given him the account, and who had since
stated that he was perfectly correct in his statement. (Hear,
hear ) He expressed his surprise at the change of opinioh
which be had that. night witnessed in the house. (Hear, bear.)
He had a deep feeling of alarm lest all confidence in public
men should be lost by it. (Cheers from the opposition.) If
hon. gentlemen' could make promises and protessions on the
husungs to their constituents, and then, when they appeared is.
parliament, could change their sentiments and votes, the con-
stituency could no longer place that confidence in them which,
ought to'be placed in them, and on which he believed the
security of the country depended. (Cheers.)
The house divided, when there appeared—
For the resolution
Agaiust it
Majority against the resolution —l5B
The announcement of this majority was received with loud
cheers.

On returning to the house we found .11 large body of mem-
bers collected round the table, listertingto some observations
passing between Mr. Hume and Sir A Peel, no part of which
it was possible for us to hear.
Mr. llottnucx moved that the evidence taken before the
'Canada committee of the last session be laid on the table.
Sir R. PEEL said he could not concede the motion, aria
hoped that, as a committee was about to be sent but, in order to
effect an amicable arrangement, the hon. member would with-
draw it.

POST-OFFICE.
Mr. WALLACE moved for a copy of a letter from the Com-
missioners of revenue inquiry to the treasury, in reply to the ob-
servations of the postmaster-general on their 23d -report; and R
copy of the report of the late commissioners appointed to inquire
into the management of the post-office.
Sir T. FREMANTLE requested the hon. member to postpone
his motion; we could not hear the grounds.
Mr. WALLACE said, that the letter had been laid on the table
last session, but from some reason it had not been produced in
sufficient time to be printed, and he had procured two copies to,
be made at his own expense, which were at the service of the
house; and in deference to no post-master-gencral would-be
withdraw-his motion.

Sir R. PEEL recommended the hon. member to postpone the
latter pall of his motion, as the subject was under the considera-
tion of a new commission.

Mr. W A 1.1. ACE acceded. The rest of the motion was agreed to.
Mr. l'asss put a question to Mr. Goulburn respecting two
men who had been sentenced to death for highway robbery,
though it had been understood that the law had been altered
last session on this point.
Mr. GOUI. 13 URN'S answer was inaudible.

' In answer to a question from Mr. Hums,
Sir R. PEEL said that he could not undertake to 'make an
declaration as to the probable surplus in the current year
until the accounts were made up, and he could not see the ad-
vantage of ant'cipating financial statements which it might be
found necessary on a subsequent occasion to alter.
The house adjourned at a quarter-past one o'clock.

NEW WRIT FOR THE COUNTY OF NOTTINGHAM.
Colonel VERNON rose for the juirpose of moving that a nesr
writ be issued for the northern division of the county of Not-
tingham, in the room of the late Lord Viscount Lumley, dose
Earl Scarborough. Before doing so, however, he wished
state that the writ of summons had not been issued calling tb!
noble peer to the upper house. (Hear, hear.) He was hour,'
to state, however, that Lord Lumley had authorized him 0
apply for this writ, ho having applied for his own writ of sum'
mons to the upper house ten da)s ago. It appeared that ill
consequence of the late earl not having taken his seat in the
House of Lords, there was some difficulty relative to the issir
log of it; but he should like to know from the speaker whetls
the new writ could not now be issued ? He thought, however;
6.d "over talron cool ".
House of Peers, and that for that reason some doubt might arise
as to the legality of a new writ being issued on the coiisequ4ee,i
.promotion of Lord Lumley to the House of Lords, that '
tingham ought not on that account to be deprived of its repre-
sentative at this important period.
The SPEAKER, as we understoodhim, observed thatit wasp(4
the usual practice of thisl6o years to issue writs for the purpobel
of elections, occasioned by the promotion of representatives tc,:
the upper house before the writ of summons itself was issue's'
calling upon the peer to take his seat. But as to the particulaA
point to which the hun. gentleman alluded, in the case of Lot'
Scarborough, he did not think this house was the most compe'
tent to give a decision on the course which was to be pursued. _
Sir ROBERT PEEL conceived that the writ for the electiovir
should not issue until the hoose had ascertained that the writ
summons, calling the sitting member to the Upper house, ha
been issued. They ought not, without having clearly aster
tained that fact, admit a principle which might deprive an il.l'
dividual of the privileges which he at present exercised of sit;
tin{' in that house. Suppose, for instance, there was a contesteu
claim to the title, by such a motion they might prejudice the
cluini7 as the issuing of the writ would,be tantamount to an erg
pression of their opinion upon and then, if the claim wal
established, they might by their act deprive him of his seat b"
that house. (Hear.) He conceived tnat they ought to refill
to issue their writ until the writ summons had been issued, se'
he would beg leave to make a motion to that effect, if the bal'i
member should render such a proceeding necessary. (Cries
withdraw the motion.)
Colonel VERNON said he Was entirely in the hands of the
house, but he considered that the cooduci of the late Lord Sc'
borough ought not to prejudice the right of the present Peer'
lie should not, however, press his motion as it appeared to be
the opinion of the Speaker and the house that it would be
against precedent. (Hear, hear.) He did not know what time
ought to elapse before moving for a new writ—it was now a fort;
night since the death of Lord Scarborough. He would of'd
press his motion—he would only protest against its being la'
down as an indisputable doctrine that no writ should issue fro"',
that house until a writ of summons had been issued from lhe
other house.
Sir R. PEEL said he had never wished to lay down an indl/.
putable rule—all that he did was to lay down one for his 0,
guidance. Perhaps the palish register might never be founu f
and what right had they to deprive not only the noble lord
his seat in that house, but to deprive the county of N ottingh,l;
of its member, and that without any thing before them whit
they could call good grounds for so_doing._

After a few'Wordi from Mr. Wynn?' Dr, Lushiugtou,
Rolfe and Lord John Russell, the motion was witudrawu.

THE QUEEN.

(From a correspondent of the Times.) bet
Several years since, before any report was spread of t,
Majesty the Queen's interfering in any affairs of goverritne!'
two clergymen, deputed for the purpose, one of them belonesi
to the established church, the other an eminent and influello
dissenting clergyman, waited on the late worthy Air. Bart
0.
,
the confidential treasurer of the Queen, and requested to ',;l.
before her Majesty a respectful solicitation frOm the directors,'„
an excellent and most useful charitable institution whichr4,
QUOC II especially patronised and munificently Supported. "",..•
purport of the solicitation was,, that her Majesty would be g 1;e
ciouslv pleased to forward the object of obtaining a grant for to
instittit ion of a piece of ground (out of the crown lands, Reget),,t,
Park) for building an asylum for the charitable establishwe'ia
It was thought by the directors that this situation of the asyltk
would be highly advantageous to the institution, and that, ;
small a piece of ground as would suffice for building the a6ru
might be obtained without difficulty if her Majesty would sra
in favour of the petition.
Mr. Barton laid the particulars before the Queen; and inj,
subsequent interview with the two clergymen referred to,
ported her Majesty's answer. He stated that the Queen 'd
the warmest interest in favour of the charity, and he mentiqble
very strong proofs of this,—that her Majesty repeated in force be
terms her peculiar attachment to it, adding that she wouid
happy to serve it in any way in which she could promote its "eti
terests within her own proper sphere of duty. But the Quf
said that, however small a favour it might appear for a gran'os
be made only of a site for the proposal asylum, yet as, e'o
making such a grant bonged to a department of the
' government, her Majesty would on no account interfere in o'
' case; that it was her constant rule not to interfere at all in `her
matter of government, but to confine herself strictly N.:l:bin
own province.

II ERA LDS OF ANCIENT Times.—These officers in early tJI
had many active and dangerous duties to perform, sornetwt.
being exposed in a manner by no means enviable. On the I'd
tie field the royal standard was borne by them, they nurabe,rio
the dead, exchanged prisoners, summoned cities and castle :0
surrender, and assisted in all capitulations. The last instilbe
on record of a herald being dest:attbed to declare war is ico,
time of Louis Xlll. of France against the Cardinal 1015131.
vernor of the Low Countries. Since that time the Soverell'hi
of Europe have contented themselves with declaring war

CON SU M PTION. —A young lady in the last stages of coloire
tion was lately restored to her health by the following elc,;(4
ordinary and accidental remedy. She had long been attelYoo
by the faculty, but derived no benefit from their prescliPilocto
and considered herself verging to the end of her existe
when she retired during the summer to a vale in the c 0 ON
with the intention to wait in solitude the hour of her dissolu,l; oi
While in that situation, it was her custom to rise as Wl' of
the malady would permit, and contemplate the beauties bet
nature and the wonderful works of God from her chOthe
window, from which she observed a dog belonging t 0 00
house, with scarcely any flesh on his bones, constantly
lick the dew of a camomile bed in the gat den, in doing %/over
the animal was noticed to alter in appearance, to rec
strength, and, finally, to look plump and well. The singullipal
of the circumstance a vs impressed strongly on the lady's 'toe
and induced her to try what effect might be produced by 10 jet
ing the dog's example. She accotdiugly procured the 4,0
from the same bed of camomile, drank a small quantitnot
morning, and after continuing it some tone experience° 0;
relief; her appetite became regular, and she found a rel.°
spirits, and in the end was completely cured,
