WARNER'S PATENT TINNED LEAD PIPE.— This im- proved Pipe, which receives, by the new Patent process, a perfect coating of Tin ( inside and outside), confers amongst other evident advantages the follow- ing:— it obviates the pernicious consequences resulting from the combined action of ordinary water and air, as exhibited by the white deposit upon the surface of the metal— it preserves from decay in certain soils lead pipe, which is subject to become rotten or corroded therein— it renders solid and impervious, lead pipe that is porous or spongy, or that contains minute fissures, whicn often render such pipe worse than useless. Among its most useful applications, it is especially re- commended for the Suction Pipes of Pumps, thereby preventing the possibility of " Drawing Air." For Beer Engine Pipes it is particularly valuable, preventing those poisonous solutions which are always formed in a greater or less aegree by the action of beer, wine, vinegar, or other ascescent liquors on lead. It may be obtained wholesale at the Manufactory of J. and R. Warner, Brass Founders, 8, Jewin- crescent, London ; and of all respectable Plumbers in Town and Country. CHEAP WINES AND SPIRITS.

APPEAL to the BENEVOLENT.— AN AGED LADY, who formerly kept her carriage- and who is the descendant of a great Naval Commander, has lately, from adventitious circumstances, been reduced to a. state of great distress, and involved in difficulties to the extent of 5001.

TO MY PUBLISHER, MR. JAMES FRASER, REGENT- STREET. Sir, 1THINK our friend of the Metropolitan gives us some harct knocks to begin the year with; you may tell him from me, if you meet, or through the medium of your Monthly, that I think he is better than half right in. some of his remarks, and had I my life to write over again, or to live over again, I certainly would steer clear of many rocks on which I have split; but I think he need not be so angry just because a lady tells him that the sons and daughtersof; Britain have not degenerated in their broad plains of America. Yours, sincerely- Dalkeith, Jan. 24,1834. GRANT THORNBURN.

TUESDAY.— The second Session of the Reformed Parliament com- menced this day, and was opened by his Majesty in person. His Majesty entered the Honse about twenty minutes " past two o'clock, attended by his Ministers and Great Officers of State. In a few- minutes afterwards the Speaker of the House of Commons, accom- panied by a considerable number of its Members, were ushered to the Bar by the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod. His Majesty then delivered with considerable distinctness and emphasis ( although occasionally interrupted by a slight cough) a Speech, which will br found in the 4th page. At the conclusion of the Speech his Majesty left the House. At five o'clock, on the Lord Chancellor " taking his seat on the Woolsack, Earl Grey moved the first reading of the Select Vestries Bill, the usual preliminary proceeding to the business of the House. The Bill having been read, the Lord Chancellor proceeded to read the Speech which had been delivered by his Majesty. It was then handed to the Clerk at the table, by whom it was again read to the House. The Duke of SUTHERLAND then rose and moved the Address, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, in which he briefly noticed the various topics alluded to.— It was seconded by Lord HOWARD of EFFINGHAM. Upon the question being put— The Duke of WELLINGTON rose, and after observing that it was not lis intention to oppose the Address, and that the Speech " contained as little as any Speech that had ever been delivered from the Throne to that House,'/ proceeded to make some observations upon the topics contained in it. It was utterly impossible, he said, for any man to judge from that Speech what measures His Majesty's Government, as a Government, intended to submit to Parliament. Alluding to Holland, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain, his Grace remarked that everything remained just the same with regard to the first three countries. Por- tugal, however, would have been at peace long ago had the course been pursued which he ( the Duke of Wellington) recommended last Session— that of an honest and real neutrality on the part of this country. . Referring to the Corporation Commissions, the legality of which, he said, had been disputed, he expressed his hope that there was no intention on the part of Government to establish throughout the country uniform municipal corporations, founded onthel( V. fran chise, which he was convinced would never answer. " The Speech,' said the Noble Duke, " is cautious with regard to Church property, and 1 will not therefore enter on the question at present." Earl GREY, in reply, defended the conduct of Government. He expressed his surprise that the Noble Duke should have considered the Municipal Commission illegal; and contended that much good had already resulted from its labours. Upon the subject of Church Reform, the Noble Earl said, " He was a friend to the Church Esta- blishments, and would be found foremost among its supporters. He " would never lend himself to any theory which had for its object to sever Church and State." The Address was put from the Woolsack and agreed to. WEDNESDAY.— The House assembled this day, merely for the pur- pose of taking up the Address to his Majesty. No other business was done. THURSDAY.— The LORD CHANCELLOR entered the House at ten minutes after five, and proceeded to read the Answer which his Majesty had been graciously pleased to return to the Address. The Answer declared Ins Majesty s satisfaction at the loyal and dutiful sentiments of the Address, and the assurance which " it contained of the firm resolution of the House to support the established institu- tions of the country. His Majesty stated that upon his part he should never be unmindful of the sacred obligations which attached to the station in which it had pleased Divine Providence to place him. He should never cease to watch over the honour and safety of the country, and to the utmost of his power uphold the liberties of the brave, loyal, and intelligent people whose allegiance he possessed. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that his Majesty's most gracious Answer, and also the Address of the House, should be printed and published. The motion was put from the Woolsack and carried.— Adjourned. FRIDAY.— Lord DACRE presented a Petition from the several congregations of Protestant Dissenters of the Presbyterian, Inde- pendent, and Baptist persuasions within twelve miles round London, praying for relief. The Petitioners expressed their gratitude for the relief already granted to them in the removal of disabilities; but there were yet several practical grievances for which they sought relief from the justice of the Legislature. The topics adverted to in the Petition were birth, marriage, and burial, in respect of which the Petitioners prayed to be placed upon the same footing as to registration and otherwise as the members of the Established Church, and particularly to be allowed the rites of sepulture by their own Ministers, and according to their own forms. They also sought a reversal of the exclusion from the Universities of Oxford and Cam- bridge, and relief from the liability to pay church rates. The Noble Lord stated that he did not go the full length of the prayer relative to church rates ; but he thought a commutation practicable. Laid on the table.— Adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY.— Shortly after two o'clock the SPEAKER, attended by several Members, proceeded to the House of Lords, on summons by theLsherof the Black Rod, to hear His Majesty's Speech on the opening of Parliament. On his return, the Right Hon. Gentleman stated that he had issued Writs for the election of Representatives for the following places:— For the city- of York, in the room of Captain Bayntun, deceased; for the borough of Morpeth, in the room of ^ P0?' F\ H° ward; for the borough of Huddersfield, in the room of Mr. Lewis tenton, deceased; for the shire of Berwick, in the roomof Mr. Marjonbanks, deceased; and for the eastern division ® f Somerset, in the room of Mr. Brigstock, deceased. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL gave notice that on Wednesday, Feb. 19, he Should move for leave to bring in a Bill to Abolish Imprisonment TV U1 cases except fraudulent ones. Mf- H. HANDLEY asked the Chancellor ox the Exchequer whether it was the intention of Government, during the present Session, to introduce any measure modifying or altering the Corn Laws, and whether, " such were not its intention, its support would be given to any Member originating a Bill for that purpose ?— The CHANCEL- LOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that " His Majesty's Government had not any intention to meddle with the existing Conj Laws, and SFith respect to tie latter part of the Hon. Member's question, he could only reply that if any other Hon. Member brought forward the subject, he would do ' so without the sanction of Ministers.— ( Loud cheers.)— And His Majesty's Government, looking at the mat- ter as a Government measure, would not feel themselves authorised to support it."—( Cheers.)— Mr. I- I UTT gave notice that, on the 27th of February, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill t° repeal the existing Corn Laws- Mr. RIPPON gave notice of his intention to move for leave to bring in a Bill to exdude Bishops from having a seat in the House of Peers. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE then rose to move the Address, which was seconded bv Mr. MORRISON ( Member for Ipswich), when a long de- bate ensued.— Mr. HUME moved an amendment—" That the House would take into immediate consideration the state of the Church, with the view of amending the mode of levying Church- rates, to give effective relief to the Church, as well as to those who conscientiously dissent from it." This amendment, upon a division, was lost by a majority ofl52. He then moved a second amendment, against whioh there was a majority of 166. Thirty- nine Members supported the first amendment, and twenty- three the second. The reduction of the Assessed Taxes was one o'f the prominent topics insisted upon by the Opposition Members; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer declared it to be the intention of Government to diminish the public burthens as far as it. was practicable. The Address was ultimately carried, and the House adjourned at a quarter to twelve. WEDNESDAY.— The House proceeded to take into consideration the report of the Address on the King's Speech.— Air. COBBETT ex- pressed great, surprise that the agricultural districts should have been described as tranquil, when it was notorious that, in Norfolk alone, there had been three fires a night for the last three months. He moved an amendment, lamenting the distressed state of agriculture, and pledging the House to an immediate inquiry into the subject.— The CHAXCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted the fact of the exist- ence of incendiarism, but he. did not think it amounted to a contra- diction of the general statement, that the country was in a state of tranquillity.— After some remarks from Mr. E. RUTHVEN, the amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. FINN moved an amendment on that part of the Address re- specting Ireland, to the effect that the people of that country were not guilty of outrage by seeking for a repeal of the LTnion.— Mr. LITTLETON availed himself of the opportunity to show the good effects of the Coercion Bill in the diminution of every species of offence.— Mr. O'CONXELL denounced that reasoning as most delusive which attributed the decrease of crime to the suspension of the Con- stitution. _ Before the passing of the Coercion Bill disturbance was put down in Clare by two Special Commissions. It was not by Acts of Parliament, nor by words, but by deeds that they could succeed ill trauquillising Ireland. The question of the Coercion Act, he observed, had given rise to some extraordinary statements ; and he wished to ask Ministers whether there was any ground for Mr. Hill's observation respecting the conduct of Irish Members, whom he ac- cused of opposing the Coercion Bill in public and supporting it in private ? His questions were, " Whether such an assertion as that attributed to an Irish Member had been mentioned by the Noble Lord; and whether such an assertion had been made to him or to any other Member of the Government by an Irish Member ?" — Lord ALTHORP answered for himself and his colleagues that. " no such assertion had been made to any Cabinet Minister ; but he would not be acting a manly part if he did not also state that some Members who spoke with considerable violence and voted against the Coercion Bill had, in private conversation, held a very different language."— Mr. O'CONNELL asked the Noble Lord who had used the expression?— Lord ALTHORP declined to name him, and took upon himself the responsibility of the avowal.— The Speaker inter- posed for the purpose of putting an end to the proceedingj as being of too personal a nature and conducted in too angry a spirit.— Mr. HUME objected also to its continuance, but Mr. O'CONNELL perse- vered.— Mr. SHEIL said it was admitted by the Noble Lord that no such communication had been made to any Cabinet Minister, but that some Irish Members had spoken differently in and out of the House. He asked whether his name was one of those alluded to ?— Lord ALTHORP: I beg to state that the Learned Gentleman is one of those persons alluded to.— Mr. SHEIL : And I, upon the other hand, in the face of this House, in the face of my country, and I am aware I shallnot be charged with an irreverence when I add, in the presence of my God— I say, if any individual ever communicated that I ex- pressed my approbation of the Coercion Bill, he has been guilty of a scandalous falsehood. As the Noble Lord has intimated his own responsibility for the allegation, I shall not now dwell upon the sub- ject further.— Mr. O'CONNELL retracted all the harsh expressions which he had used towards Mr. Hill, whom hp considered perfectly justified in the language he " had used."— Mr. HILL expressed him- self satisfied with the retraction of Mr. O'Connell, and declared him- self ready to produce evidence, should a Committee be appointed.— After some further discussion, the SPEAKER felt it necessary to call upon Mr. SHEIL for a declaration that the matter then before the House should not be agitated out of it. Mr. SHEIL declined making such a declaration.— Lord ALTHORP was then called on. His Lord- ship replied that, as he felt no offence, he would pledge himself to take no step in the matter; but, as to his not responding to any pro- ceedings that might be taken out of the House, he could give no assurance.— On the motion of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, it was then ordered that Lord Althorp and Mr. Sheil should be committed to the custody of the Serjeant- at- Arms. Both Members were shortly after- wards in custody. The greatest excitement prevailed throughout the whole of this extraordinary scene. The Address was finally agreed to ; after which, Mr. STANLEY communicated to the House that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yielding to his colleagues' re presentations, and not desiring to impede public business, was pre- pared to give the required assurance. His Lordship returned to his seat and gave the assurance. A communication was afterwards made from Mr. Sheil, that he should bow to what appeared to be the wishes of the House, and he afterwards gave the required assur ance. Mr. HILL also complied with the request of the House. THURSDAY.— Mr. A. JOHNSTON presented a Petition from the Pro- vost and Town Council of St. Andrew's, praying that the House would take into consideration the subject of Church patronage in Scotland. The Hon. Member contended that those were the best Conservatives of the Church who were most anxious to reform its abuses.— Mr. ELLIOT expressed a wish that Gentlemen who made serious charges like that of simony, which had been insinuated on the preceding day, would have the courtesy to give notice of their intention. As for the charge itself, he did not hesitate to contradict it, and was confident that he could support that contradiction by proof.— Mr. WALLACE said he could not understand why Members should be muzzled until it pleased official persons to be present to give them a hearing. He wished to know from the Hon. Gentleman whether the question of a presentation in Scotland by the influence of patronage was arranged ? For his own part, he should always be prepared to stand up m defence of the Church of Scotland.— Mr. ELLIOT stated that the question was not arranged, an appeal having been made from the Presbytery. Lord ALTHORP having intimated that his Majesty would be ready to receive the Address voted by that House at two o'clock, the House adjourned for the purpose of presenting it. The SPEAKER resumed the Chair at five o'clock, and proceeded to inform the House that he had carried up the Address to the Throne, which his Majesty had accepted, and acknowledged in a most gracious reply, thanking the House for the loyal sentiments it expressed, and stating his Majesty's reliance upon their assurances that they would take into their consideration the supplies necessary for the service of the year. After some observations from Mr. O'CONNELL and MT STAXLEY, the former postponed till Monday his motion for an inquiry into the charges against certain Irish Members who are represented to have approved of the Irish Coercion Bill, though they spoke and voted against it.— Mr. STANLEY portrayed the dangers and the difficulties which must necessarily attend the institution of such an inquiry. Lord HOWICK brought in aBill to continue, until the end of the next session of parliament, the operation of all Turnpike Trusts Acts, promising that a general measure of regulation should be prepared in the mean time. Mr. AGLIONBY obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the- more speedy recovery of the possession of lands and tenements by the owners, after notice to quit has been given. Mr. EWART asked the Solicitor General if a measure for the establishment of Local Courts would be again introduced during this session?— The SOLICITOR GENERAL replied that he was not authorised to answer the question either in the affirmative or the negative; but that he could assure the Hon. Member that the anxiety of the Lord Chancellor to procure the enactment of so salutary a measure was not in the least abated. Mr. P. THOMSON obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend certain errors in the Factory Bill of last session. On the motion 0/* Sir R. FERGISSON, the adjourned debate on the question, that a new writ be not issued for the borough of Warwick till the 17th of March, was resumed. The motion was agreed to, aftef an unsuccessful oppostion oil the part of Mr. Halcomb. The remaining Sessional Orders were agreed to without discussion. FRIDAY.— In answer to a question by Sir R. PEEL, the CHANCEL- LOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should introduce some measurefor the relief of agriculturists from vexatious surcharges on horses employed in agriculture. Mr. HUME, wished to know whether Ministers had made up their minds to repeal the house and window taxes ?— Lord ALTHOBP said that he could not at present answer the question. A new writ was ordered for Kendal, in the room of James Brougham, Esq., deceased. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER signified that he would make a general financial statement next Friday. Mr. HUME asked whether it was the" intention of Government to proceed with the Local Courts Bill?— Lord ALTHORP hoped to b » able shortly to give a satisfactory answer to the question. The House having resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that a supply be granted to his Majesty. Mr. ROBIXSOX wished to know whether all the Esti- mates were to be laid before the House previously to asking for any grants of money ?— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER assured the House that ample time should be given. It was also understood that no money vote should be proposed at a late hour during the Session- The motion for granting a Supply was then agreed to. On the motion of Mr. HUME, " a return of the number of corporal punishments inflicted in each regiment in the years 1831,1832, and 1833, was ordered. Mr. HUME asked whether the militia establishments were to be reduced. Since the peace they had cost 5,800,000;., and the yeomanry corps 2,300,000/.— Mr. ELLICE admitted that much unnecessary ex- pense had been incurred, but Government was engaged in investi- gating the matter, and he hoped the result would prove satisfactory to the Hon. Member. The remainder of the sitting was occupied with the presentation of Petitions. THE ARMY. PROMOTIONS AND EXCHANGES. War Offioe, Feb. 7. 12th Regt. of Light Dragoons— Cornet T.

Nearly one half of the Literary Gazette of Saturday, Feb. 8, ( No. 890), is devoted to a review, with copious and admirable illustrations of Lytton Bulwer's " Pilgrims of the Rhine,"— a volume, according to the reviewers, of very great interest and genius.

MARSHAL NEY'S MEMOIRS.—" These volumes contain a memoir of the brave, the celebrated, and, in the end, the unfortunate Marshal Ney, and are the foundation of a lasting monument raised to his memory by the affections of his family. They treat of the events of his brilliant career; of the early battles of the French Revolution, the campaigns in Belgium and on the Rhine, and afterwards on the Danube and in Switzerland, in which Pichegru, Jourdan, Kliber, Bernadotte, Brune, Hoche, and others who acted so conspicuous a part in this wonderful drama, took their first steps to distinction and power. To the military reader these volumes will be very attractive; to the more general reader it presents an animated picture of those troubled and fearful times, when war made desolate more than half Europe."— Literary Gazette. , Lives of the English Pirates, Highwaymen, and Robbers, by Charles Whitehead.— With a fidelity that stamps the originality of his subject Mr. Whitehead opens his interesting account of English Highway- men with Robin Hood, that merry monarch of the good greenwood, whose adventures, obscurely beautiful, are claimed alike by fact and fiiction. From Robin Hood to Barrington the pickpocket, the descent is gradual and full of incidents and interest. We open with an illus- tration of the reign of Richard the First, and close with a type of the times of George the Third. Vice and villany, during the lapse of centuries, may have extended themselves, but they are plainly less commanding in their operations. Our forefathers robbed frankly, and with a daring courage that bespoke heroism; while we de- generate in the spirit and practice of evil, steal in mean privacy, and Dlush to discover that the proceeding was ever made a boast of. We agree with Mr. Whitehead, that his work cannot fail to conduce_ to the service of morality; we go farther, and maintain that the nation ought to be much happier with the evidence which these volumes supply of the great improvement which the state of society has been gradually undergoing for centuries past.— Sunday Herald. A new and greatly improved Edition of Mr. Hayward's Transla- tion of Faust has just appeared; a book peculiarly remarkable in two respects. It is not only ( as the Edinburgh Review observed of it) the- first successful prose translation of poetry which has a higher object than to aid in the interoretation of the original, but it is also the first annotated edition of Faust in any language. The Germans indeed, singular as it may seem, have first learnt the full signification of their great national poem from an Englishman. The translator's acquaintance with most of the celebrated men of Germany ( as Schlegel, Tieck, Grimm, the Baron de la Malte Fonque, Retzsch, & c.) has enabled him to add this peculiar value to his work, by con- centrating all the oral as well as all the written information that was to be had. In an appendix he gives a summary account of the vari- ous works that have been founded on or bear a direct relation to Faust, in the different countries of Europe. The writers who have taken the story for their subject- matter are computed at about 120, and the artists ( including Rembrandt) at twelve. February 16. JOHN BULL. 176 this most honourable and independent representation with Mr. JVIILES. Three hundred pounds and His MAJESTY'S free pardon to any accomplice have been offered for the apprehension of the parties who wilfully set fire to ten stacks of wheat, six stacks of oats and beans, - mid four of hav, standing in two separate farms near the village of Durham, belonging to Mr. THOMAS ELLIOT. The property was destroyed on the 21st of January. The Postmaster- General has determined on abolishing the whole of the privileges enjoyed by the clerks of the Post- office as regards the transmission or dealing in newspapers, whether English or fo- reign. These privileges will cease, so far as English. newspapers and the circulation of them within the United Kingdom are concerned, on the 5th of April next, after which period the trade will become entirely open and free in every respect. The transmission and supply of the English newspapers abroad, as well as the supply of foreign newspapers from all parts of the world, will cease to be included in the Post- office privileges at periods varying according to the distance from which such papers are to be obtained, or to which they are re- quired to be sent. A compensation is proposed to be made to the clerks only in those cases wherein their privileges, as in the instance of foreign newspapers, are established by an Act of Parliament. Any Post- office clerk hereafter dealing in newspapers will be dismissed. We are informed, upon credible authority, says the Bury Herald, that by the Bill, a draft of which has been already prepared, for amending the Corporate Bodies, that it is the intention of Govern- ment to take entirely out of the hands of those authorities the different charitable endowments now entrusted to their management, to vest them in trustees appointed for the purpose; and that, in cases where bribery has been proved in the election of members of their own body, they are to be disfranchised for a term of thirty years. TRADES' UNIONS.— The following exhortation relative to Trades' Unions has been introduced into the Instructions and Regulations for the Fast of Lent read in the Roman Catholic Chapels of the Lon- don district last Sunday:— " We feel ourselves especially called upon with regard to the labouring portion of our beloved " flock to warn them against unholy practices, which we have been shocked to hear have been lately most injuriously and most wickedly introduced amongst the working part of the community: we mean the entering into illegal Associations, and the taking of illegal, unjust, and profane oaths, and these aggra- vated in wickedness by enjoining secrecy. It being evidently extremely criminal to enter into Associations'of the above description and to take the oaths alluded to, we charge such portion of our beloved flock whose circumstances may cause them to be urged to enter into such illegal and criminal Associations not to consent, but absolutely to refuse to become members ofthe same ; and we further charge all persons who may have unhappily entered into such Asso- ciations absolutely to abandon the same, never more to attend any meetings of such Associations, or further vilify themselves by illegal oaths and practices. For we are bound to declare that, by determin- ing to become members of such illegal Associations, or by continuing to join in the same, or bv taking sucli illegal and profane oaths, they render themselves totally unfit for the reception of the most holy sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist." It is understood that the Poor Law Commissioners intend to pro- pose the repeal of all modes of acquiring a settlement otherwise than by birth or by residence for a term of years ( probably three), the enactment to take effect from a period to be fixed, and to have no retrospective effect. Small parishes are to be incorporated, with a view to a better system of workhouse management; the incorporated district to be thenceforth considered as one parish, a measure which will diminish litigation as between parishes by two- lhirds. The supervision and control of the details of the new system are to be entrusted to a Central Board of Management. The jurisdiction of Magistrates will remain, with some modifications; for instance, one Magistrate is to be empowered to transact parochial business instead of two. All Magistrates are to be ex officio members of any Boards ( which will be elective) established for the management of incorpo- rated districts Important alterations in the law of bastardy are also contemplated; e. g., the mother is to be deprived of all statutory remedy against the father. The mother ofabastard childin England will thus be placed upon pretty nearly the same footing as in Scotland or Ireland.— Law Magazine. The will of the late Lord GRENVILLE was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on Tuesday last, and the personal estate and effects of the deceased have been sworn to be under the value of 25,0001., the whole of which sum has been bequeathed to his Lord- ship's widow during her lift, and upon her death it devolves to his Lordship's brother absolutely. The will is comprised in one sheet of paper. The landed estates, which are of considerable value, pass to the heir- in- law. The QUEEN honoured Drury- Lane Theatre, on Thursday evening last, to witness the performance of The Wedding Gown and St. George and the Dragon. Her MAJESTY and Suite arrived in two carriages at half- past seven o'clock. In the first carriage • were the Earl of DENBIGH ( the QUEEN'S Lord Chamberlain), the Duke of DORSET, Miss BAGOT, and Miss HUDSON ( Maids of Honour). In the other carriage were the QUEEN, the Duke of GLOUCESTER, the Earl of ERROLL ( Master of the Horse to the QUEEN), and Lady CLINTON. The most gratifying testimonials of loyalty and esteem greeted her MAJESTY from all parts ofthe house on her arrival and departure. A requisition has been presented to the High Sheriff of Shropshire, signed by some hundreds of the yeomen and other farmers residentin every part of that county, reqesting him to convene a meeting of the freeholders and occupiers of land, " to consider the great depression under which the agricultural interest at present labours, and to adopt such measures as may appear best calculated to ensure redress."— The meeting is appointed to take place on Wednesday, the 12th inst. By the Orders of the Day we learn that no less than 61 distinct notices were given in the House of Commons on Tuesday night, and 18 on Wednesday night, making in the two days 79. Among them we notice a motion by Mr. T. ATTWOOD, for Feb. 20, to authorise the issue of notes under the value of 51. by persons duly licensed. Mr. ROEBUCK, we see, is again to renew his motion on Thursday, March 27, for a Committee to inquire into education. The House • will transact a great deal of business if it attend to all these. Mr. DUMAS, the ill- fated usher at Mr. WATTS'S academy at Barnes, whose rash conduct led to the death of that gentleman's daughter, destroyed himself on Friday, at the Duke's Head Inn, Putney. It appears that he had been to France since his release from restraint, and on his return took lodgings at Putney, in which parish the remains of the young lady were deposited. It has been ascertained that he has been in the habit of passing many hours of the night • upon her grave, during all the late inclement weather; at last, after having attempted to terminate his sufferings, by inflicting a wound on his arm, he came to the desperate resolution of swallowing prussic acid— this fatal act closed his earthly career, and a Coroner's Inquest W8< s held upon the body in the evening— the verdict was insanity, and thus the avowed object of the sufferer's having become a resident in the village ( that of being interred in the sameburying- ground with the object of his affections) will be achieved. A more melancholy romance of real life has rarely occurred. Mr. Justice BAYLEY'S successor on the Bench is not appointed. Mr. PEPYS has been offered the seat, which he would accept, pro- vided he was not compelled to go Circuit or attend the Old Bailey. The object is to secure an equity Judge to assist Lord LYNDHURST, in order that his Lordship may have more time for common law bu- siness, the influx of which into the Exchequer, since the appoint- ment of Sir THOMAS DENMAN to the King's Bench, is enormous. A SHOCK FOR MISS MARTINEAU.— Alderman HARRIS, of Bristol, some years ago, bequeathed 1,0001. to each of the parishes of Nunney and Cloford; the interest thereof to be divided among so many young women, being parishioners, of good character, as might enter into " the holy estate of matrimony," in each successive year. During the past year there have been seven claimants in the parish of Nun- ney, and who each received their portions on Thursday week. On one occasion, the interest accumulated at Cloford for two years, and an individual received 801. with which she immediately purchased a house. It is openly stated in Paris, that the Deputies are determined, after the nextelection, not to take the oath of allegiance to Louis PHILIPPE — amongst the number who decline, is the respectable and ancient LAFAYETTE. What a satisfactory result of the three glorious days for the Citizen KING. LAPORTE has announced the opening of the Opera for next Satur- day, with a strong corps. LABLACHE returns, so does TAGLIONI ; and besides at least twenty stare, he promises, in the bills, a cargo of Coryphees.— The Bathing Ballet at Covent Garden is very splendid, and, after all thatjhas been said about it, disappointingly decent: the version ofthe same thing at the Adelphi is more delicately beautiful, although of course upon a smaller scale; but with that, one is able to see Mrs. YATES in the new Drama of Isabelle, in which she tran- scends herself— to those who have seen f ' ictorine and the Wreck Ashore, we need say no more.— ABBOTT and EGERTON carry on a very successful campaign— their Pantomime was decidedly the best; but we have been told that, at the Tottenham- street ( now called the Fitzroy) Theatre, there was a satirical scene anent the GREYS and GREYLINGS, which was worth anything to see— we fear it is laid aside.

The question of building a new church or chapel of ease for Sheer- ness has been recently revived, and a certain portion of the inhabi- tants are extremely anxious to have it carried into effect. Dr. POORE, as rural Dean, lias paid a visit to Sheerness on the subject, and the Commissioners for building new churches have engaged to pay half the expense; the Archbishop of CANTERBURY has promised 200 gui- neas ; Sir EDWARD BANKS and two other gentlemen, it is said, 200 or 300 more; and the Board of Ordnance offered a site for the building. Some of those Dissenters who are known in this town as the most active in agitating what they call their " claims," applied last week for a loan of the Wesleyan Chapel, to hold a public meeting on this subject. The request was grounded, speciously enough, on the cir- cumstance that the Wesleyans possess a platform fitted to their Chapel, which has been provided for the purpose of holding religious, not political meetings; but fortunately, more sagacious than their Chichester brethren, they saw through the cunningly- devised trick; and the trustees determined not to comply with the application, lest they should be thereby represented as sanctioning the proceedings. We'are also happy to say that the great body of the Wesleyans in this place have refused to sign the petition, and are utterly opposed to the sentiments of the long rambling address which has been circulated here : a few individuals only were entrapped, and theirnames secured, before they had consulted the more intelligent members of the con- gregation.— Brighton Gazette Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.— We have great pleasure in referring to the success which attended a meeting on behalf of the above Society, held at Upton on Monday last, the Earl of BEAUCHAMP in the Chair. A Committee to be called HAL on among the numerous instances of liberality and beneficence, with which the name of the Bishop of SALISBURY is associated. It is well known that the College for Clerical Education at Lampeter, in Car- diganshire, was founded by his Lordship when he presided over the the see of St. David's, and that he largely contributed by pecuniary donations to its erection. He still cherishes towards this useful institution feelings truly paternal, of which he has recently given a. munificent proof, by the establishment of four scholarships of ten pounds each for the encouragement and reward of tlieolosrical and literary proficiency among the students. The. proceeds of 1001. 3 per cents, bequeathed'to the College by the late Mrs. HANNAH MOJIE, are, we understand, to be appropriated in a similar manner, and we are glad to learn that a subscription has commenced for a further increase of scholarships and exhibitioners. The price of tuition also, in the College, has recently been reduced. These concurring cir- cumstances will operate most beneficially on the future prosperity of the College. We hear that the general " merits of the candidates for orders, educated there, have reflected much honour on the institu- tion. The Rev. JOHN HODGSON, now Vicar of Hartburn, was last week presented with a handsome silver tea service by a few of that gentle- man's friends in Jarrow and Hewortli, upon'his resignation of that- living, as a testimony of their esteem and respect for his long and valuable services. Mr. HODGSON has been perpetual Curate of Jarrow with Heworth for about 25 years. At the Bath Abbey Church, on Wednesday last, the Lord Bishop of BATH and WELLS confirmed 136 young persons, to whom his Lord- ship afterwards delivered an eloquent and impressive address. On Tuesday last two of the maces borne by the vergers before the Dignitaries of the Church were taken from the closet in which they are usually deposited in our Cathedral._ Theperson who has the care of locking up the Cathedral left every thing apparently safe about half- past four in the evening; the next morning all the doors were found locked, in the same state in which they had been left, but the maces had disappeared. They were thrown over the wall, into the Rev. ARTHUR EVANS'S yard, on Thursday night, addressed to Dr. ILL ; they were broken to pieces and wrapped up in brown paper, which was written—" Beware of Reform ."'— Gloucester Chronicle. HUDDERSFIELD PARISH CHURCH.— The subscriptions fortherepair of this edifice, now amount to nearly 1,6001. Sir JOHN RAMSDEN, Bart., has given 4001., STANSFIELD RAWSON, JOHN STARKEY, THOMAS STARKEY, JOSEPH STARKEY, and J. BROOK, Esqrs. 1001. each. JOSEPH ARMITAGE, and J. C. LAYCOCK, Esqrs., and Dr. WALKER, 501. each. The subscribers have resolved to relinquish the sum voted by the pari? h, and to defray the whole expense by subscription. NORTON GRAMMAR SCHOOL AND THE " BISHOP OF DURHAM.— Another instance of the munificence of the Venerable Bishop of DURHAM, in addition to the countless acts of his benevolence which we have had to record, has come to our knowledge. All the leases of the property of Norton Grammar School having been suffered to expire by the negligence of the late master, and the school and school- house allowed to fall into so dilapidated a state as to be a per- fect ruin, part of the former having actually tumbled to the ground, his Lordship has not only re- endowed the School, but contributed the greatest part of the fund requisite for restoring and ornamenting the buildings, which now form a neat and commodious residence. This is not all, for a little more than a- year ago, we understand, the Bishop contributed a hundred pounds'towards the erection of a large and handsome National School in the same beautiful village. A large handsome Proprietory Chapel is now building at Gravesend calculated to hold fifteen hundred persons, to serve which only three Clergymen have at present applied, although it is proposed to give 3001. per annum for those services. COVENTRY, Feb. 4, 1834.— A meeting of the Members of the- Established Church residing in Trinity parish in this city lias just been held, having been summoned by the Churchwardens, when it was unanimously agreed to adopt the Declaration issued by the Central Committee in London. We ought in this parish, if in'any, to come forward in this good cause, blessed as we are with a Vicar universally beloved by rich and poor, for whom even the Whigs express the greatest respect. In the other parish, St. Michael's, an attempt is making by the Whigs to add a rider in favour of Reform. — Correspondent of the Standard. At the meeting held last week, at Bath, of that most valuable institution, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, it was stated that in addition to the Bishopricks of Madras and Bombay, about to be established by Act of Parliament, a hope may be entertained that the addition to the Indian Prelacies may be fol- lowed up by the appointment of a Prelate for the spiritual govern- ment of the important and extensive island of Ceylon. Great regret was expressed at the withdrawal of the Government grant, aud several eloquent speeches were delivered by distinguished individuals, warmly recommending the support of the Society. Thursday the new church in Stratl'ord- le- B" ow was consecrated by the B shop of LONDON. The morning service was read by the Rev. Archdeacon JONES, Rector of the parish, and, after the usual ceremony had been gone through, the Bishop of LONDON delivered a. sermon to a very crowded congregation, composed of the members of most of the respectable families in that extenive parish. TRINITY COLLEGE.— A paragraph respecting Trinity Colllege, which is going the round of the newspapers, is not in any respect correct. No additional fellowships have been founded in* our Uni- versity. The minute detail of the regulations under which they are to be placed is therefore altogether imaginary.— Dublin Packet. The proposed College for the education" of candidates for the Wesleyan Methodist ministry will, it is said, be under the direction of a Principal and three Masters- The Rev. JABEZ BUNTINU is ex- Sected to be the Principal; the Rev. T. GALLAND, M. A., the Rev. . HANNAH, sen., and the Rev. D. WALTON, the Masters. The Powick Deanery, Committee," was formed, and a liberal sub- sciption entered into.— Worcester Jour. A public meeting in aid of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, under the sanction of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, was held on Friday the 31st ult. at Shipston- on- Stour; the Rev. H. TOWNSEND, of Ilomngton Hall, in the chair. Several reso- lutions were passed, expressive of the obligation felt by the meeting, as Christians and Englishmen, of rendering prompt assistance to the Society under its present exigencies. A local Committee was formed of the gentry and clergy of Shipston and the neighbourhood to co- operate with" the Select Committee ofthe district at Warwick, in ad- vocating the cause oftheSociety andincreasingitspermanent income. Donations and new subscriptions amounting to fifty pounds were received at the close of the meeting.

This has been » very important week in the Money Market, and has exhibited symptoms of a return of the mania of' 18- 25. The Consols have not. however, fluctuated in the ratio of the Foreign Stocks, although the Market has been buoyant, ami the closing price for the Account this afternoon was 89% Long Annuities have advanced to 17 3- 16 U, and Bank Stock is 215 to 216. India Stock is 246 to 247, and Exchequer Bills 47 to 48. India Bonds left off at 28 to 30 pm. But the most remarkable advance has been in the Portuguese and Spanish Securities, the former having reached tliehieh quotation of 65 this morninir and closing at 64 Jf and Spanish has been done at 30, and left off at 31% 32H- The advance in the Portuguese Bonds has been solely caused by the operations of the speculators here, but that in Spanish has been in consequence of it being gene- rally known that the Spanish Government is on the eve of contracting a new loan, and that the Cortes Bonds will be taken in exchange for the new ones at a value to be agreed upon. We have also had a con- tinued rise in the Bonds of the Sonth" American Republics, owing to the supposed approaching recognition of them by Spain. Chilian Bonds are quoted at 28 , Columbian at 27M 28, and Mexican at 43K 44.

Dupont del'Enre has written to the Chamber of Deputies and to some of his colleagues, on giving up his seat, to which he has apparently been moved by dissatisfaction at the proceedings of the Government, and affliction at the loss of his friend and relative. Reports have been spread, implicating the King, and which have had a considerable effect upon the public mind. General Rumigny is accused ofhaving violated his duty to Louis Philippe, in leaving the palace, where he was on service. He has accordingly fallen into disgrace, and the po- pular party say that he is only to be made the scape- goat for his master. The following is from the'Paris correspondence of the Standard:— '• The Speech pronounced by the King of Great Britain on the open- ing of the Session of Parliament, has turned out to be quite as insigni- ficant and unsatifactory as it was expected to be. Thfe portion relating to Russia is so vague and cowardly that Whiggerv itself could not have invented anything worse. The only passages which have attracted any attention are those relating to Ireland and to the march of the O'Coiinell faction. Frenchmen rub their hands and say, ' Well, some of these days we shall land 100,000 in Ireland.'" The Austrian Observer contains a treaty signed bv the Emperor of Austria, with the Emperor of Russia, " and the King of Prussia, agreeing, that persons who commit high treason, or other crimes of like nature in the Polish dominions of any of the three Powers, shall find no protection or asylum in the others. G RANI) Music MEETING.— Forty- nine years have elapsed since f - e commemoration of Handel took place in Westminster Abbey, under the auspices and immediate patronage of George III. His Majesty lias, we understand, signified his pleasure that a grand music meeting', on the same scale of magnificence, as then attracted all the musical and fashionable world, shall take place in the same edifice in the course of the ensuing summer. In addition to the choirs of West- minster, Windsor, St. James, and St. Paul's all the vocal and instru- mental talent of the country will be called into play on this occasion. The latter end of June or the beginning of July is the time named for the celebration. The following is an account of the liabilities and assets of the Bank of England, on the average of the three months ending the 4th of February, 1834: — Liabilities: circulation, 19,146,0001.; deposits, 14,086,0001.; total, 33,232,0001. Assets: securities, 23,992,0001.; bul- lion, 9,9.54,0001.; total, 33,946,0001. The Corporation of Cambridge, at a meeting on Thursday, resolved to co- operate with that of Norwich in defending themselves from any attempt against their charters and privileges ; they also voted 1001. as the expenses of the deputation to London. VOTE or CENSURE ON MR. POULETT THOMSON.— Mr. Phillips, M. P. for Manchester, met his constituents at Manchester, on Mon- day, and entered into a lengthened explanation of his Parliamentary conduct. At the conclusion of his speech, Messrs. Wroe, Dixoii, Adam, West, and Gregory, put several questions to the Honourable Member, which he answered apparently to their satisfaction, and they gave him credit for good intentions and straightforward conduct in not having violated any ofhis pledges. A very strong feeling was manifested against Mr. C. P. Thomson, and aproposition was made . or a vote of censure upon him. A long discussion took place on the subject, in the course of which it was suggested that it would be better not to press it so long as Mr. Phillips remained in the room. Oil his retirement with his immediate friends, the chair was taken by Mr. Scholefield, and the proposed vote of censure was curried unani- mously ! . T Just published, price 5s.
