army have entered without firing a shot. They fur-

sv;tl, their adherents, on receding certain information
of the approach of the Turkish troops,, precipitately.
evacuated on the 27th both the convent of Crotoeseun
and the city of Bucharest, the. inhabitants of which
feared a general pillage. Theodore, with his ad-
herents, has, it is said, retreated by way of Pitescht,
towards Curte d'Argisch, and took on his way all the
post and other horse...

FrtEr:4 ti FUNlls.—Five per Cents s(f.—Bauk
Actions,

The subj:•cts which ot rupi.4l the attention of the
House of Commons last night were various and inte-
resting. Among the fir,t in order of time, was the
motion of Mr. BUXTON, with a view to adopt some
restrictive twastire on the practice, fur a return of the
number of Hi.:loo women who, during the last four
rears, had been publicly sacrificed in India ou the
funeral piles of their husbands. From
.the authorities
he had consulted the Honourable Member stated the
number to amount to between three and 41)00, in the
presitlto, Fort alone, and of that number,
he added, there were many who were far from being vo•
!notary vi.litns on this horrible occasion, which the
Hindoo Laws assume them all to be, but that compul-
sion, in violation of tho:.e laws, was often employed to
make them subject to this revolting usage. A prac-
tice au abhorrent, tiros brought with much propriety
under the em,itleration of the House, gave occasion
for some appropriate observations by several Members.
On all ship, it was agreed, that it would be highly
gratifying if flee inhuman custom could be abo-
lished ; but the question was, what kind of interference
could be adopted which, in a rase connected with the
religious prejudices of the natives, could most deli-
cately, yet effectually accomplish the desired pOrpose.
The promotion of knowledge was suggested by the
advocates fur the suppression of the practice; but
they were admonished that by the diffusion of know-
ledge they might dissolve the spell by which the
minds of the natives are at present subjected to the
contruul of their European masters, and that en-
danger the safety of our Indian Empire. The motion
was however carried, and the papers ordered to be
laid upon the table. The next important subject that
was brought forward was the motion of whisk the
Hon. Mr. HUTCHINS IN had given notice, relative to
late proceedings on the continent. His objeckWas to
persuade the House to express their concern on the oc-
casion. and to address his Majesty, retrestiag bias to

use his influence to secure to the minor States of
Europe, their undoubted right to chose their
own form of Government, and also to remonstrate
with his Allies on the assumption of the Power•
they claimed and the principles they professed. Time
Marquess Of LONDONDERRY. however. undertook to
thew the impropriety of interfering with the Arts
of other Governments not immediately affecting onr-
selves ; and the motion was. on a division, negatived
by a large majority. The principal subject n hich
afterwards enraged the attention of the Home was Mr.
ScaaLett's Poor Relief Bill. On this occasion
Mr. Catenate argued with much ability against
all the three propositions which the Bill contained ;
and Rot one of them obtained the support of any
of the other Members who spoke on the 'olden,
though some of them professed tlleMseives friendly to
certain of its principles. The further consideration
of the meaner was adjourned to this day. when we
expect a heal check will be presented to Its progress.
