IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Yesterday at three o'clock both Houses of Parliament
as.embled, it being the day to which the Parliauseat
stood prorogued.
The Earls of Shaftesbury and Liverpool, and the
Bishop of London appeared in their places; sad after
having retired to robe, they returnedand took their
seats on the Woolsack. Mr. Butt, the Deptiky Ser.
jeant at Arms, placed the Mace before them ; lite Lord
Chancellor was absent, his Lordship being in :Dorset-
shi re.
Lord SHAFTESBURY then directed his Maiesty's Com.
mission to be read. Mr. Carrie (a Clerk o the House)
accordingly read it, after which his Lordship (who acted
for the Lord Chancellor) directed the Yeoman Usher of
the Black Rod (Mr. Quarme) to desire the attendance
of the Commons.
Mr. Rickman, second Clerk of the Commons, Mr.
Bellamy, the housekeeper, and several other officers of
the House accordingly appeared at the bar. But there
was not one Member of the House present.
Lord SHAFTESBURY (the Earl of Liverpool sitting on
his right, and the Bishop of London on his left hand,)
then stated to the Lords and Co' wiroons, that their Lord.
ships, acting as Commissioners for, in the name and on
the behalf of his Majesty according to his Majesty's
Commission to them directed, were authorised farther to
prorogue the process Parliament to Tuesday the 26th of
IVorember ; and that as his Majesty's Commissioner'
they, therefore, further prorogue the Parliament till
that day, Tuesdayl Nov. 26.
The Commons retired from thebar. Mr. Butt removed
the mace, and their Lordships then departed.

To promote the alterations proceeding in the ap-
proaches to the House of Lords, the erection of a new
Royal entrance, the improvement of the Bishops' door,
&c. there are scaffolding and palings so occupying this
portion of New Palace-yard, that the Lords could not en-
ter the House by the ordinary doors. Their carriages
were obliged to draw up at the Commons' entrances, and
thence their Lordships went to the House of Lords ►y
walking under the pianos to the doer called the Peer'.

Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obliga-
tion, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the
ptssions, but to el.-aose the grosser nature from those im-
purities, which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
base entailed upon It. To the neglect of such attention are
attributable many of thnse hapless instances, which, while
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also
impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Uxorious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in
the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially
does the premature inthtuation of youth too frequently com-
promise the natural dignity into a slate of Inanition, from
*whence the egonized sufferer more tlisin doubts the chance of
relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering
hole—energy—musrelur strength—felicity ; nor will our
advances appear quevtionable, sanctioned as they ere by the
Multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience.

Ltvunroof., 7 o'CLocu.—Arrived the Magnet from
New York, sailed the 12th September; Reaper and
Mary Ann, from Philadelphia; Florida, from Savannah,

The letter-bag of the Magnet was not suffered to be
landed this day. It must undergo the operation of fu-
migating similar to that of the Cortes.

We have received this morning another file of New
York papers, which come down to the 12th ult. From
these we learn the effects of the alarm that prevails in
that city in consequence of the progress of the YELLOW
Fevers. The Nem York Gazette of Sept. 4; *vs; there
are three hundred and forty removals, including those
now doing business at Greenwich, and seventy-eight
others; malting a total of four hundred and eighteen.—
The same paper of the 11th, states the deaths in that
city4during the preceding week, at seventy-three, and
those at Philadelphia as follow:—Adults, 38; children,

The following are the principal articles of other in-
telligence brought by this arrival :

BANK NOTES.

We read, in the Manchester Guardian, a very pretty
account of the conduct of a country banker; and we be:
our readers to attend to it ; that is to say. if they look
upon money as being better than rags. The forgers ap.
pear to be at work upon the country rags ; and, indeed,
whole to expect the contrary ? A merchant sent his clerk
with between four and live hundred pounds in country
bank-notes to be paid by the ragman who had issued
them. The rag-man, in order to make the payment as
inconvenient as possible to the holder of the notes, gave
the clerk a hundred pound Bank of F:ngland note, in
exchange for the first hundred pounds in country bank-
notes that the clerk laid down, and wished to go on in
this way. The object of the clerk was, to get sovereign:,
and the object of the other was to give bins hundred
pound notes, not having any small Bank of England
notes to give him. The clerk, in order to defeat this
trick, took up his notes and went to an inn, and counted
them out into parcels of four pounds, and then went anti
demanded four pounds at a time. The rag-man bad no
small notes, (for the Bank of England has honestly
drawn them in) and was therefore compelled to pay him

p4..1,,,fd to the public creditors—it will most probably •
be productive of much confusion, speculation, and
usher evil consequences, to create, as it were, twenty.
f nr independent land companies in the country; all
bringiog their lauds into the market together. and
rash tempted to undersell the others for the purpose
of raisin? money. In sorb a state of things the ge•
ueral government might shut up their land oleos for
ti ,y years, and would necessarily have to seek an
tvivalent in the revenue in some other quarter.—
'I his, among other objections, has already been stated
aga,nst the project; but it is too soon yet to form a
derided opioion on the subject. It is always -safest to

lengths to promote so desirable an object as the edo-

inheritance of freedom. At the same time. as at pre.

of the lands for that purpose than erect a number of
companies. who would unquestionably give rise to a
fearful scene of land-jobbing a 1111 l net us. Perhaps,
however, there way be arguments in store on the
other side of the questitm, of which I am not aware.

JONES V. DIRS.

This was as action tried before the Lord Chic(
Justice at the last Sittings for Middlesex, by the
owner of a house is Clement's-inn passage, against a
bricklayer, who, under direction of the Commissioners
of Sewers, repaired a drain or sewer in the neigh-
bourhood, for negligence in the discharge of his duty,
by which the home of the plaintiff sustained injury.
The notice of action given in conformity with the
52d Oeo. 111., e. 48, a. 9, expressed the cause of ac-
tion to be, that the defeadant did "make, alter, re-
pair, cat, dig, and enlarge, a certain sewer, in so im-
provident, unskilful, sad improper a m . that the
tomcats of the plaintiff was damaged, weakened,
and gave way." The house in question was not im-
mediately affected by the felling in of the sewer, but
fell in consequence of another house sit/kill against
it. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.
Mr. SCAILELT sow moved for a sew trial, on the
•ttenad that the notice did not properly describe the
injury, and also that the defendant had ant committed
ary negligence which ought to subject him to an
action, It appeared that the house did not fall in by
reason of noskilfelness is the construction of the
sewer, imt of neglect to shore op the premises, or to
give due notice of their danger. Nor was the damage
roiostuediately the relish of the works of the defend-
ant, as the terms of the notice would imply. The
defendant acted to the best of his judgment, and took
advice of others; if he bad adopted the course of
giving the bows oaternal support, he would have in-
curred equal blame; like the old man with the ass, by
attempting to please every one, he wosld please no
one. Mr. Scarlett urged these topics at great length,
and finally obtained a rule to show cause why a new
trial should not be granted.
COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, Jos. 26.

SO4SZ O. JOHNSON.

Mr. Stlitifle VAUGHAN moved for a ruin to chew
canoe why the verdict given for the plaintiff in this
case should not be set aside, and a new trial granted.
'this was an action of covenant on a lease for rent, and
was tried at Westminster at the sittings after last Mi-
chaelmas Term, when the plaintiff produced a lease
WO one stamp of 3/. upon it. The counsel for the
defendant had then objected, that the lease containing
twi separate demises of dirtinct properties, and the
‘tassession of the premises bring given at two different
'tines, there should have been two stamps of the united
value of 31. 10s. Two rests had likewise been reserved,
Payelile at different times.

were made at the same time, and fin be sawe consi-

COURT OF KING'S RSNCIL—Tars Der.

This morning, on Mr. Je,tice BATLEY coming Into
Court, the Grand Inquest for the County were sworn.
fhey were afterwards briefly addressed by the Learned
Judge, who took occasion to express his satisfaction
at the very full attendance that was. given by the Gen-
tlemen of the out-hundreds. The Leaned Judee did not
know the circumstances of any case that would be laid
before them, but adverted to the practice of publish-
ing exparte statements of the proceedings before Corn-,
net's Inquests. His Lordship stated this, he said,'
with a view to prevent the practice in future ; it hav-
ing a tendency to prevent the accused having a fair
trial, and in his opinion amounted in law to a misde-
meanor.
The Jury baring withdrawn, Wm. Marsden was
brought up. in custody of Mr. Walter, from Horse-
mongerfane prison, to plead to an indictment, charg-
ing hint with conspiring, with various other penults,
to remove a quantity of Nos Pimlico, to the great pre-
judice of our Sovereign the King.—The defendant
pleaded not Guilty, and will be tried after term.

Donuts et pitmen* sow.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life'
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
SOCRATES, by his discourse on marriage, so en-
-1...11 raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men firm to their wires, and the bachelors hastened to be
wedded ; and " The spectator" has affirmed, that the word
" wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the
desideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize
with bliss hereafter.

Previous, however, to entering Into this hallowed obliga-
tion, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulatethe
passions, hut to cleanse the grosser nature from those Im-
purities, which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
have entailed upon It. To the neglect of such attention are
attributable many of those hapless instances, which, while
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also
Impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminize the bode•—a residence 10
the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially
does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently com-
promise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from
whence the agonized sufferer more that doubts the chance of
relief. To all such, then, we editress oerseires, offering
hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity; uor will our
ads ances appear questionehle, sane'loned as they are by the
multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience.
The easy cares of married life, are sometimes disturbed
by the suspension of those hlessiuea which concentrnte the
nuptial wreath—fur the female habit is often constitutionally
weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im-
proved Into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every
relaxation of the generative economy. we pledge our ability

PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT.

IN rile LORDS there was nothing of any interest•
IN Tag Commons there were several topics, but
none that we hate not had to comment on before,
except another push that Mr. Hems made for the
Times lie:es-paper. This was hooked in to a discus-
about the sums paid, under the name of paytuent
for advertiseosente, to Government Papers in Ireland.
What had this to do with the rascally Old rioter
of London, which has jest been so famously exposed
by Dr. O'MEARA ? IVliy, it had this to do with it: the
Old Times is a famous puffer; but, Mr. 1/UXII
does net know, we dare say, that it will some-
times puff wielont positiee pay. On what an-
thority, however, did Mr. Hums assert, that this pa.
per had a wider circulation than any other is Eng-
land t We deny the fact. The fact is not true, and
Mr. lin: a must have been deceiverl.----We
can never hear Mr. Hans praising this paper,
or putting forth assertions about its numbers, without
looking bark to time strange affair of Col.t.rxm and the
report.—The report in the Old Times represented Mr.
Hume as haviniz said certain timings of Mr. Cassrtsro.
The latter, on the authority of the Report, made a
serious sort .1 application to Mr. Husra! He denied
having uttered the words! Breach of Privilege
Against the 04 Times fellow followed! CouLt as,
the reporter, generously took it all report kintself."llle
House pardoned him, and Mr. CANNING li oked across
the House and laughed ! The public thought it all
toonderoun fine! It was, indeed, a rare thing of ohm
kind !—Now, when we reflect on this transaction, we
must cont. lc that we are disposel to admire the con-
duct of Mr. !hag with regard to the Old Timex
