trade.

A bill allowing the. sale of Stonehenge and .other similar
monuments and ruins hi Mr. M'Adam, the road contractor.
A bill for church 'reform, founded ou the report of their en-
lightenecl and impartial:commissioners. This will be a sweep-
ing measure.

arid Irelarid. This measure will supersede the necessity of a
standing, army. This class of persons will be expected, in case
of necessity, .to 'form themselves into regiments; officers to be
chosen by ballot. . . _

The premier is anxious to introduce a bill to increase the
price ti coals and to prohibit the use 'of other fuel. Souse of
his colleagues, however, are opposed to this measure. Joseph
Flume was overheard muttering "This is a burning shame."
Sir John Key will: bring in a bill to repeal all laWs- which
prevent persons in their minority holding office under govern-
ment, and which require oaths relative thereto. This subject
has long occupied his•most.serious attention.
Cobbett's Register, we are authorized to say, is the Official
organ of government. No other paper will be perMitted to
report the debates in -parliament.
Ministers are nearly unanimous in determining to patronize
a penny subscription to erect a monument in St. Petees.field,
Manchester, to the memory of that great patriot Fl. Hunt, Esq.
The statue is to be cast trout the copper so subscribed. On
being applied to, Mr. Cobbett said he had no brass to spare, and
could not therefore give the statue his countenance.
No more money will be voted to the trustees of the British
Museum:- The expenses Of the 'institution will, in future, be
borne by. charging for admittance. •Alults Is., children under

Court of King's Bench against alLpeisons present at the last
Pitt dinner.

The' publishers of Rlarkwood's Magacine and the Standard
were severally fined £lOOO for libels on the government. We
hope this will teach these 'paltry and obscure scribblers better
manners.

Jonathan Martin .has been set at liberty and appointed prin-
cipal verger of Westminster Abbey.
The new speaker refuses to wear the wig and robes of office,
and seems impatient till the chaplain •his finished‘the usual
prayers. •

The Rev. Lord Wriothesley,Russell has resigned the valua-
ble living of Streatham,'in the county of Surrey, upon the pre-
text. of not approving of
.pluralities. His lordship retains the
living of Cheynies.
,The Dyke of Bedford, who is patron; has
presented the living of .Streatham to the'Rev.. Mr. Blunt, of
