1i• ere.
The Pauper !Atomic Bill was rend a third time and paned.
On the question that the Wine Duty Bill be read
ri third time,
Mr. Alderman SMITH expressed his fears that
the mesgure would not be found productive, inas.
much as the consumption would be greatly lessened.
If the consumption were lessened, to that extent
would the export of our manufactures be diminished,
which were now sent to Portugal for wine, and ad-
mitted at the low duty of 15 per cent.
The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER
could not think of abandoning the Bill, on the con-
trary, lie deemed it expedient; and he doubted
whether other measures, by way of prohibitory du-
ties, would not be required, in order to counteract
the injurious monopoly of the export of wine at pre-
seat existing iu Portugal. lie agreed to post-
pone the third reading of the Bill until Tuesday

of the Marshal of the King's Beach Prison to the
Speaker, and the fact of the commitment of Lord
Cochrane, under sentence of the Court of King's
Bench, it proceeded to state that his Lordship had
mole his escape from confinement between the sth
and 10th of March, and was arrested in the House
by Mr. Jones, the Marshal, and his officers, on the
21st instant. On entering the House his Lordship
was informed that he could not be allowed to stay
there until a return of his election were obtained
from the Crown Office, which his Lordship sent for,

other Member being at that time iu the House. The
Report theti stated the return of his Lordship tar

July last, awl the question for the Committee to
decide whether the Marshal had been guilty of a
breach of the privileges of the House in making the
arrest of his Lordship under the acts set forth.—
After deliberating upon a matter of such import-

was no precedent in the books, but was entirely
novel, they had concurred iu reporting, that uuder

Many curious anecdotes are told of his conduct
during his triumphal journey to Paris,—for it wns
rather a triumphal entry into his own capital, than
the struggle of a dethroned Sovereign to grasp again
at the sceptre whicithad been torn from his hand.—
He held levees, he gave balls, he mixed in crowds,
and constantly preceded his troops by several miles,

the buildings on the farm should be allowed to the
purchasers of stock, for a reasonable time to thrash

tleman concluded by moving for leave to bring in a
Bill to regulate the sale of farming stock taken in
execution.—Leave given.

In changing horses at one of the posts, an English
lady, in her way to Marseilles, came up in the oppo-
site direction to the post-house at the same time.—
She did not know him, bat requested, as she was
pressed for time, that he would permit her to have
the first set of horses out—to which he answered,
that the object of his journey was rather presiog
too, but he must give way to a Lady ; and he waited
with great patience till she set out. It was not until
