The-LORD ADVOCATE rose, 'bat gave way on a
message from the Lords being announced. - •
A M EM BIM, whose naive we could not hitar, present-
ed a petition from the gentry of the County of Bedford,
relative to` the burning of widows in India. •
• Mr. BUXTON begged leave to say a few words on the
subject of the petition. The 'horrible custont of burnin#
widows-had loug been a disgrace to India, and he hoped
that some exertions would be made by the GoVernment to
put eared to so horrible a pretties.. In a certain space of
time, no less than SCI widows had fallen victims to a blind
and horrible superstition, and every one of the-cases were
marked by circumstances of the most atrocious nature. lie
felt his blood ran cold at the recital of the dreadful . bar-
barities intllctbd bn so many wretched women. The chil-
dren of the deteased Ilindoo were often foremost in those
scenes' f horror; godsons have attended the- execution 'of
a mother oh the very day that their father was taken from
them. These spectacles were attended by crowds ; and, in-
stied of exciting awful and solemn feelings, they generally
created only matter for sport and coarse jokes. They.weri
in fact, occasions where l'rutal delight and immorality. were
indulged without restraint. There was one ease where the
widow Of a viliege barber was brought to the funeral pile.
and from the scarcity of fuel was but half consumed, and
was then•suffered to linger to death in most dreadful' sic..
Wes. Theib was another instance still more revoltieg—a*
yoking female of fourteen escaped from the pile and was
pursued and brought back. She again escaped, and *as
agaia brought back. A third time she contrived to ges
away. and threw herself into a watercourse to colicr herself
where her relations still pursued and est her throat. Alt
the other Powers of Europe had exerted themaelres to ter-
minate the barbarous custom, and he thought that the Bri-
tish Government, who had so much authority in their hands,
oughtnot to be found wanting in a cause so dear to hums niti.
He would certainly, in the course of the next Session cat the
attention of the House to the subject.
Mr. FORBES doubted whether the practice could be put
down by any interference. The exertions of the Marquess
of Hastings, instead of putting down, had the contrary
effec', and increased it.
Mr. WYNN said that however much the practice excited
abhorrence, or however anxious Honourable Members
might be to have it put an end to, there was much danger
in interference. Time custom had a strong hold on the su-
perstition; of the people of India, audit came strengthened
, with all the force of antiquity. It was as old as Alexander
the Great..and the people of India were 'extremely jealous
of European interference. lie was most anxious to have
the custom pot down, but felt the great difficulties which at-
tended an attempt to do so. -
• Mr. WILBERFORCE said If • recommendation was
from this country, it would put an end to the practice with-
out any legislative interference. He was happy to see the
subject taken up, and hoped It would coatings to receive the
notice of the same lion. Gentlemen. •
Mr. MONEY said, at one time he thought the MlK-
dee might have been put down 'by the Supreme 'Govern-
ment of India. but experience had proved that such an
opinion wag erroneous.
The petition was laid on the table.

SOCRATES, by bis Discourse ou Marriage, sosunp-
-17 his auditors with the subject, that the married
men flew to their wives, sad the bachelors hastened to-be
wedded ; and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the Weed
" wife" is the most agreeable and delightful onmeinnaten.
The sacred institution. then, of marriage, convene* the
desideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth, bet disposing the soul itself to harmonise
with bliss hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli‘
gallon, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate
the passlcna. butt° cleanse the grosser nature from those
impurities 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 body-.•a resideneein
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 than doubts the chance of
relief. To all such,-then, we address ourselves, offering
hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity: nor will our
advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the
multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by
'the suspensiou of those blessings wLich concentrate.**

weak—yet it eta be strengthened, and deficient energy im-
proved into functional power.

Commons.
SILK WEAVERS.
Loral RLLENBOROUGIII said he had been directed by
the Committee to whom the Silk Weavers' Bill, and the
several petitions against that Bill had been referred, to
make a short report to their Lordships. The Committee
had duly considered that measure, and heard Counsel spinet,
it, and they recommended to their Lordships to postpone
the further consideration of this business for some time,
with a vie* of determining whether some amendments might
not be made In it. This was done with the consent of the
petitioners and their Counsel.
Ills Lordship then proposed thkt the Bill be read a second
time proforma, and be further considered on Friday next.
This was ordered accordingly, and tbs House adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNISDAT.
Mr. JAMES gave notice that hi would to-moue* even-
lag present a petition from Newcastle-on-Tyne. respecting

introduced into the Bill for the consolidation of the Customs
Laws, for the woke effectually providing for the Detection
and Punishment of Seamen who were guilty of bristling
articles oit board not mentioned in the manifest. A Oroirl-
sloe might be introduced, by which, instead of permitting,
the ship to be detailed, the person bringing oa board the
articles might be punished by forfeiture of wages, when
proved on affidavit.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would glee the suggestion his best consideration.
The petition was laid on the table. •
Mr. S. WORTLEY presented a petition from Bradford

—Laid on the table.
The Honourable Gentleman also presented eleven other

• SHERIFF OF LANARK.
Lord BINNING said be was glad that the opportunity
was arrived when he could make a statement in premises
of the Noble Lord, the Member for Lanark. on • behalf of
Mr. Hamilton, the Sheriff of that county, who felt himself
aggrieved. by some reflections mad. by the Noble Lord In
that House. When the House permitted its debates to be
disseminated throughout the country. It was not to be won.
dered at that individuals, whose character and conduct were
animadverted ou in that House. should take the necessary
steps to do away the Injurious impressions that might be
excited against them. The Noble Lord then read a part of
the speech of the Noble Lord, the Member for Lanark, In
which it was impaled to the Sheriff that at the period of the
general election, he contrived to fix the day of election for
the county of Lanark on a day when a number of voters who
would have attended at the election fot' that county were
absent, in consequence of being under previous engage.
merits to vote in other counties, thereby the Noble Lord re•
presented that he was deprived of 'a number of votes. In
*sewer to this, the Sheriff wished to state that however tree
it Might be, that the Noble Lewd was deprived of the sup-
port' of a number of petsons, in consequence of the dream-
stances which were stated, yet he denied that this took'
Oleo by any design or connivent, of his. The election
for the County of Edinhergh was fixed for the 49th of June.
He thought the most convenient day for that of Lanark
would have been on the 2d of July, being an intermediate
day between the election day for Edinburgh and that of le-
ather neighbouring county. This Gentleman further denied
ib peositise•teenis that he favoured the reception of the votes
of the Noble Lord's opponent. On the contrary, he pa-
eirppterlly reamed to listen to the agents of either party.
Ark* knew the Sheriff to be a man of honour and a gentle-

ROYAL INSTITUTION.

This Institution, which has for. its object. the 'due&
Lien of 1000 boys and 500 girls, without regard to any
religinv; distinction, yesterday held its Tenth Annual
Meeting at the Egyptian-hall, which was kindly afforded
by the Lord Mayor fir-the purpose.
Soon after one o'clock, the platform and body of the
Hall were crowded almost entirely by ladies of the most
fashionable appearance. It was a mon interesting spec-
tacle to behold so many elegant and interesting females
engaged in so great and so laudable an act of public be-
nevolence.
At two o'clock the Right Honourable the LORD
MAYOR took the chair, and proceeded to state shortly
the objects of the Meeting. Since the Establishment of
the Boys' School, 5,197 boys had been admitted, and
since the Establishment of the Girls' school (a welch
shorter period) 1,768 girls had been educated in it.—
Codisiderable sums bad been borrowed for the purpose
of carrying into effect the objects of the Institution, of
which a sum of 4001. remained still due • but haring wit-
nessed the laudable support which this Establishment had
hitherto met with, he entertained little doubt that the
subscriptions of those around him would enable the Go-
verner. to extricate themselves from the temporary em-
barrassments under which they at.present laboured.
The Secnrraav (Mr. Wilk.) read the Report of the
Managers of the School, from the period of its Esta-
blishment to tbe present time ; from which it appeared,
that, during the last year fifty-two boys and fifty-two
girls had not only received Education with the others,
but had also been provided with clothing from the Funds
of the Society. . .
Mr. J. SMITH, M. F. hoped the Meeting would consi-
der themselves bound to discharge the debt, which at
present pressed upon this most praise-worthy Institution.
rhe Honourable Gentleman then tweed that the Report
heagreed to, printed, and circliated under the direction
of the Committee.
The whole of the children, amounting to 1000 boys
and 500 girls, here appeared, and excited the liveliest
feelings in the minds of the Meeting, which, as we have
already observed, consisted (distils's of the must fashion-
able and elegant appearance.
Several of the boys and girls received silver medals
frum his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex,.-the for-
mer for excellence in reading and writing, and thelatter
as an approval of their cleverness in various kinds of see-
dle work, which were exhibited to and highly praised
by the ladies.
Various Resolutions were moved by Memo. Whit.
