The personal appearance of Mr. Lambton would induce one to suppose him much younger than he really is. Indeed, his aspect is that of a young man between seven-and-twenty and thirty: and the disposition of his hair (a peculiarity that has been too celebrated to expose us to the imputation of being too minute in recording it) and vigorous but very graceful figure tend entirely to confirm the mistake into which most strangers are betrayed in respect of his real age. ́As a Parliamentary speaker, this Gentleman is too successful not to leave us in wonder that his great powers are not more frequently and more power- A melancholy accident from the incautious use of fire-arms, occurred fully exerted.

NAPOLEON IN RUSSIA.-Twelve thousand copies of Count Segur's History of Napoleon's Campaign in Russia has, it seems, been already sold in France. We don't wonder at it, for a more interesting book, on the subject of war, has never fallen into our hands. CONTAGION.-Upon the whole, these facts appear to show the probable identity of yellow fever, pestis-(plague)—and typhus fever, as already defined. The same conflicting, nay, confused testimony, exists respecting the contagious or non-contagious nature of yellow fever and pestis, as of typhus fever. Whatever may hereafter be proved to be the case of the two former, by a more minute and dispassionate inquiry, than has yet been instituted, I can only repeat, that the more narrowly I investigate the facts in regard to the typhus fever of this country, even under its most aggravated aspects, the more I am inclined to doubt its contagious nature, and as to yellow fever and pestis, I am in possesion of several striking facts, communicated by veritable persons, which certainly do appear quite irreconcilable with the doctrine of contagion. From Dr. Armstrong's Lecture, in the Lancet. PREPARATION FOR THE HOT BATHS.-The enclosed (says a Correspondent) is the original of a Note sent to a Sempstress with a shirt which required mending :" The friend which James conducts to you has received a severe contusion on the back of the neck, and wishes to undergo the operation in which you are so particularly skilful; and I shall be glad if it can be cured this week, as I wish to send it next week to take the benefit of the hot baths." A FIGHTING MAN.-We are, as our readers well know, no friends to Pugilism and Prize-fighters; and we notice a Lithographic Print of Edw. Baldwin," alias White-headed Bob," just published, merely because it is a very clever work of art. It is well-painted by Mr. SIMONEAN, and admirably executed on the stone by Mr. GRATTAN. The fellow stands like a rock, and looks as if he could batter down an ox as well as beat down a man. We must say, that we should almost like to see him give Ferdinand the Beloved, or any other such worthless biped, a good threshing. The sight would be far more agreeable than a bull-fight. Instances of three children at a birth are frequently noticed; but that tliree infants, born under such circumstance, should attain a mature age, and that the mother should be a living witness, is, we believe, an almost unprecedented fact. A person named Wake, a carrier, between 30 and 40 years of age, in his stature tall and well proportioned, is now residing in this town, who was born on the same day with a brother and sister, now also living in good health.-Taunton Courier. MATERNAL AFFECTION OF A CAT.-A worthy farmer, residing in the neighbourhood of Ross, sent, a few years ago, a load of grain to Gloucester. The distance is about 16 miles. The waggon was loaded in the evening, and started early on the following morning. On its being unloaded in Gloucester, a favourite cat, belonging to the farmer, was found among the sacks, with two kittens of very recent birth. The waggoner, very humanely, placed puss and her young in a hay-loft, where he expected that they would remain in safety, until he should be ready to depart for home. On his return to the loft shortly afterwards, neither cat nor kittens were to be found, and he reluctantly left the town without them. Next morning, she entered the kitchen of her master's house, with one kitten in her mouth. It was dead-but she placed it before the fire; and without seeking food, or indulging for a moment in the genial warmth of her domestic hearth, she disappeared. In about an hour she returned with the other kitten laid it down by the other-stretched herself beside them, and instantly expired! The poor creature could have carried but one at a time; consequently she must have travelled three times over the whole line of her journey homewards, and performed forty-eight miles at least, in less than twenty-four hours. But when we consider that she had to seek very frequently in her route for a place of safety for one kitten, while she went back to fetch the other; that she was liable to many interruptions from dogs, passengers, water, &c. which would render her course devious, it becomes probable that she had made the way much longer.-Hereford Independent. watery grave. On being brought ashore be wept bitterly, and expressed a wish to go home. A waterman who assisted in saving him, recognised him to be a Mr. Falshaw, living in the Commercial-road, and who bad a few days ago buried his wife. The unfortunate gentleman was then carried home to his children, who are seven in number. MELANCHOLY CASE.-On Friday, a lady of elegant appearance, after suddenly throwing off some of her dress, exclaimed, "Oh God, have !" and rushed into the Canal in the Regent's Park. The Parkmercy keeper dragged her out, when she fainted, but soon recovered. Her name is Mary Anne D. She had been seduced by a Noble Lord and then abandoned, as is usual with Noble Lords: She had since figured away in certain circles of fashion; but her means failing, she became distressed, and was thus induced to make an attempt upon her life. She was taken to Mary-la-bonne Office, where 'he Magistrate first expatiated on the crime of self-destruction, and then ordered her to be conveyed home. Her manners and appearance were very prepossessing. On Wednesday, a jury assembled at the George Tavern, Chapel-street, to inquire into the death of Ann West, aged 26. Mrs. Hodges, the keeper of a brothel, in Crown-court, Soho, stated, that the deceased came, in company with a gentleman, to her house about 11 o'clock the night before, elegantly dressed. They proceeded up stairs, and after a short time the gentleman came down and went out without saying a word. In about ten minutes, witness, on opening the door, saw the unfortunate woman lying on the floor, apparently lifeless. She sent for medical as sistance, but it was of no avail.-Mrs. Ann Thompson stated, that the deceased lodged with her for many years; she was of respectable connexions in Wales, and she believed was a married woman. On Monday evening, she was in good health and spirits. She had a very bad asthmatic complaint.-Mr. Thompson, assistant surgeon, found deceased in the situation described by the first witness, and attributed her death to natural causes.-Verdict-died by the visitation of God.

We have just obtained the copy of a bill introduced-we imagine by the Lord Advocate-into the House of Commons, intitled" A bill (as amended by the Committee) to amend an act of the Scottish Parliament, relative to the aliment of poor prisoners." The title, it will readily be imagined, gave us much pleasure-the subject being one in which we had taken great interest, and one too, which had recently attracted the notice of philanthropic lawyers, benevolent societies, and the public of Scotland. We had no doubt, therefore, it would be so framed as to afford relief to the miserable, starving debtor; but our astonishment was beyond all bounds when, upon examination, we found that this bill was calculated solely to throw an additional hardship on creditors, without affording any of that relief or protection which was so loudly called for on the part of debtors. This remark will not appear harsh when the bearings of the case are attended to. Our intelligent readers are all aware of the evils which are felt under the law as settled by a practice which is not only disgraceful to Scotland, but a slur upon humanity. The act 1696, c. 32, proceeded on the consideration—" that generally the burghs of this kingdom are troubled and overcharged with prisoners (thrust into their prisons) who have nothing to maintain themselves, but must, of necessity, EITHER STARVE, or BE A BURDEN ON THE BURGH."-And as Magistrates who should have allowed a prisoner to die for want of food, would have been indicted for murder or manslaughter in the Justiciary Court, the expense of maintaining poor prisoners necessarily fell upon the burghs. This was a burden from which they sought relief; and for the relief of the burghs, accordingly, the act of the Scottish Parliament was passed.-That act provided, that on a prisoner's "making faith that he hath not wherewith to aliment himself, it shall be leasome to the Magistrate of the burgh to intimate the same to the creditor, and require him either to provide an aliment or consent to liberation, which, if the said creditor refuse or delay to do, within the · space of ten days, then it shall be leasome to the said Magistrate to set the said poor indigent prisoner at liberty. The burghs had thus a course provided, by which they could relieve themselves of the burden of alimenting poor prisoners, upon the lapse of ten days after intimation to the creditors; but having obtained this boon from the legislature, our burgh magistrates seem to have considered themselves as relieved from all the claims of humanity and justice; for they soon came to leave the poor indigent debtors to live or die as they might, until ten days after intimation for aliment, under the act, had been made to their creditors. The Magistrates, in short, took no further care of poor debtors. They took no steps for informing ignorance and poverty that such an act existed; and they provided no funds to aid these destitute beings in obtaining the relief which the law had provided, not for them, but for the burghs. From thenceforth a destitute imprisoned debtor had no resource against dying in jail from want of food, but the humanity and benevolence of the jailor or his fellow prisoners! Even at this day there are many of the poorer classes who are utterly ignorant that there is such a statute as the Act of Grace; and many instances occur of individuals lying days in jail without being aware of such a law. Many instances occur also of persons who, after they are aware of the law, are without the means of putting it in motion. A petition has to be prepared to the magistrates fees have to be paid upon this petition, and the procedure which follows, to the burgh-clerks an oath has to be emitted —a warrant of service has to be obtained—an intimation has to be made to the creditor by an officer of court, a messenger at arms, or a notary public-and, after all this is done, the poor debtor must either starve, or find the means of supporting himself for ten days after the intimation. The act contemplated that the whole expence of the proceedings should be borne by burgh for whose relief it was passed, and it declared it to "be leasome to the Magistrates--not to the prisoner to give the intimation to the creditor." But in practice the whole expense (and, in Edinburgh and Inverness at least, the expense is no trifle) is thrown upon the debtor; or, in other words, parties who, in the year 1696, "must of necessity have either starved or been a burden upon the burghs," and who must swear they have not wherewith to aliment themselves in prison-are saddled with a process which requires no trifle in point of expense, and a period of from eleven to perhaps fifteen days, before they can obtain the shadow of relief, and if they cannot bear the expense, to find the means of support in the interim, they must, indeed, starve! We have no doubt that many have died in consequence of the sufferings thus unlawfully imposed npon them; and that many more must yet die from the same cause, if not snatched from destruction by the benevolent exertions of societies and individuals. So stood the practice of Scotland before this Bill was introduced into Parliament, and so it may continue, for any provision contained in this bill. The procedure under the act 1696, as regulated by practice, is left untouched. The petition the oath-the intimation-the fees!—are all continued; and, "until an aliment be awarded under the said recited act" (that of 1696), the poor, destitute, imprisoned wretches may, as before, die of inanition. No provisions are made for informing them of the existence of the law, for enabling them to put that law in motion, or for affording them the means of keeping soul and body tegether while their application is pending, and the ten days running! These hardships-grievances unchristian oppressions and brutalities—are allowed to continue without the slightest attempt at mitigation. All that is done by the bill is to impose on all creditors the hardship of consigning 10s. with the jailor on each imprisonment; but the debtor himself is to reap no benefit from the consignation! It is true, that after all the forms are gone through-after all the perils have been encountered-the aliment, if awarded, is to be paid out of the consigned money; but, as the law stood before, the debtor would, at this stage, either have got aliment, or, what is more common, his liberty; and, even as it is, as no alteration is made in the terms of the intimation, which is alternative for aliment or liberty, the creditor will escape payment of aliment if he do not insist on continued imprisonment. If that be continued, the aliment, under this bill, will draw backwards to the date of imprisonment: but before any benefit can thus be obtained, the debtor may have died for want; since the law, as here amended, does not even attempt to provide against such a calamity! It is not easy to write on a subject like this with any degree of temper or patience. The evils were well known, and admitted, we cannot help thinking, of an obvious remedy. It should be made imperative on jailors to apprise every debtor of the provisions which the law has made in his favour. Each should, on being received into jail, be asked and made to state, in a signed declaration, whether he has or has not the means of alimenting himself in prison; and if the answer be negative, the steps for affording relief should be taken forthwith, at the expense either of the burghs or the state. The expense altogether would be trifling; and it is a debt which is due by the legislature to common decency. No person is imprisoned without a warrant in writing; and as this warrant is entrusted by the creditor to some officer of the law, why should not intimation to that officer be declared sufficient? It might be provided that each imprisoning officer should put his name and place of abode, and the residence of the creditor, on the back of the warrant left with the jailor, and that a letter, dispatched by the jailor to this officer, through the postoffice; and certified to have been so done by the jailor, should be held as intimation—and that the notice for aliment should be shortened and regulated by the distance at which the creditor resides. And in this way, or by some equivalent enactments, it would be easy to reduce the expense; while, if the jailor were authorised, upon a declaration by the prisoner that he has no means of 'alimenting himself, to furnish a PROTESTANT MEETING RESPECTING THE The following Resolutions at a Meeting of Protestant Peers, which took place on the 28th ult. at the Duke of Buckingham's residence, in London, to consider the state of Ireland, proposed by the Marquis of Londonderry, and unanimously adopted, have been published in the Belfast Commer-to the shadow of Government in that unhappy country. Re cial Chronicle, and copied into other Irish papers: Resolved-1. That while we acknowledge with gratitude the measures adopted by Parliament for the general improve ment and prosperity of Ireland, we cannot but feel that full effect can never be given to the benevolent intentions of the Legislature, while our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects labour under civil disqualification; that every accession of wealth and knowledge must, by increasing the capacity of exercising the highest civil rights, increase equally the desire of obtain ing them, and thus aggravate the discontent of those who are aggrieved. 2. That the civil equality of all classes of the people would not endanger the Constitution, which is best secured by giving to all an equal interest in its support nor the Protestant Faith, which is secured by its own clear truths, and by the pious zeal of our clergy-nor property in tithes, which, like all other property, is secured by law, 3. That, without such civil equality, there is no hope of permanent tranquillity in Ireland, or of that perfect National Union which is alone wanting to complete the greatness of the empire, and for ever to preserve it from hostile aggression. 4. That it is expedient to do an act of justice in a time of prosperity; to confer rights while they will be received with gratitude; to confer with advantage what cannot be refused with safety; and to adopt, in peace, a measure which may be forced upon us in war, and which the uncontrolable force of time must evidently force upon us soon. 5. That we, the undersigned Protestant Peers, possessing property in Ireland, most earnestly recommend to our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, firmness, temperance, and union; that we desire them to rely on us as the determined friends of their just cause, and upon the good sense of their Protestant fellow-subjects, for the ultimate recovery of their civil rights. By some account Ibrahim Pacha, who commanded the Turkish troops, had made himself master of Navarino, towards the end of April; by others, he is described as having been obliged to raise the siege, as being himself surrounded by the victorious Greek army, and as having offered to capitulate surrendering at the same time the fortresses of Coron and Modon, on the simple condition of being allowed to escape alive. The manufactories of Greek news in the Ionian Islands and at Trieste seem to be in full activity: but they should go to work with a little more of the raw material of fact. Their fictions at present are as disjointed and incoherent as a sick man's dreams: The garrisons in the different great towns of Spain have begun a system which must soon put an end even ceiving no pay from the national treasury, they have begun to intercept its supplies, and to help themselves in the first instance, before they allow any money to be transmitted to Madrid. The troops at Seville began this practice, and their example has been followed at Burgos, Santander, Salamanca, and other places. Yet, in the midst of this state of disorder and anarchy, the Ministers of Ferdinand still dream of sending out expeditions from Cadiz and Corunna for the re-conquest of America. The Court would seem to wish it to be thought that it was on good terms with the French, by ordering salvos of artillery and illuminations to take place at Madrid in honour of Charles X.'s coronation. In the Constitutionnel we find a just and indignant reprobation of the disgusting spectacle exhibited in the Champs Elysees on occasion of the King's entry into Paris after the ceremony. We allude to the distribution of wine and bread to the people a scene in which the wretched creatures who resorted to this miserable scramble were seen contesting with each other like wild beasts for the possession of a dirty loaf, or the acquisition of a pint of vapid beverage. RANGOON.-The Bombay papers contain official dispatches from Sir A. Campbell, at Rangoon, dated on the 14th and 15th of January. The first of these contains an account of the attack on the fort of Syriam. The following is the material portion of Sir A, Campbell's dispatch:-" On the morning of the 11th, I detached a small force against Syriam Fort, consisting of 200 men from his Majesty's 47th regiment, with a detachment of seamen and marines from the royal navy and the Hon. Company's flotilla, under the command of Lieut.Colonel Ebrington, with orders to scour that part of the country as far as Syriam Pagoda of any enemy to be met with. The Lieut.-Colonel, in the course of a few hours, came before that fort, and the bridge over the Nullah leading These Resolutions are signed by the Duke of Leinster, to it.

[This paper is still in course of signature.] the British troops rush on to the assault." By the return of killed and wounded which follows this account, it appears that one officer, Ensign J. M. Geddes, was killed, and three officers wounded Captain Forbes severely, but not dangerously; Captain Backhouse, and Ensign Macleod, slightly. The loss in men was one killed, 31 wounded. Sir A. Campbell states in his dispatch of the 15th of January (notwithstanding the late total defeat of the Burmese) that the enemy were collecting another army for another attack on Rangoon. Saturday was a holiday at the Bank, and the Stock Exchange was shut; but a larger proportion than usual of the respectable brokers and jobbers assembled on the Royal Exchange, in the expectation that some important news would arrive from Madrid on the subject of a Spanish loan.

A warrant having been sent down from the Castle, directed to Mr. Despard the Magistrate, for the apprehension of a man named Gorman, charged with having been a distinguished and principal actor in that most horrible and nefarious drama-the burning of the Sheas, that gentleman sent four policemen in coloured clothes, but armed with a case of pistols each, to the above-mentioned chapel last Sunday, where he had information that the party sought after would be found. The policemen proceeded to the spot, and, as the congregation were coming from the chapel, after mass, succeeded in seizing him; but Gorman, on being taken, instantly called out to the mob to rescue him, when a desperate struggle ensued. One of the policemen fired and wounded one of their assailants in the knee severely; but the police were eventually overpowered —their prisoner was taken from them, and escaped, and they were themselves set upon in such a way that, as our informant but for the timely arrival of Mr. Lawler, a Magistrate, fatal consequences were to be apprehended. Gorman, we understand, was the immediately preceding tenant of the land occupied by the Sheas.-Waterford Mail. states, MAD DOGS. Within this last month the neighbourhood of Dorset square and the Regent's-park has been in a dread ful state of alarm owing to a mad dog biting several dogs in that neighbourhood, many of which have lately been destroyed. About three weeks ago a valuable mare, the property of Mr. Rock, of Huntsman's Mews, was hit by one of those animals. Mr. Rock did not take any notice of the occurrence, when, on Friday morning, on his entering the stable, he perceived the mare gnawing the manger and rack in a most violent manner; he attempted to go towards the animal, but was hindered by her making an attempt to bite him. Mr. Rock went instantly for his farrier, who declared the animal to be mad, and that it was the hydrophobia. It continued in that state all day on Friday, and expired apparently in the greatest agony about seven o'clock in the evening. The Magistrates of the Marylebone-office have issued out large placards, warning persons having dogs to keep them within doors, or otherwise to muzzle them, and on non-compliance with their order, the officers are directed to destroy all dogs they find in the streets. ます SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday, as two men were driving a steer, belonging to Mr. Boorne, of Bosham, into Chichester, Market, he became, on a sudden, so irritated as to set upon an old man, named Parvin, who was passing the Cross with a yoke and milk-pails, and so dreadfully gored him, that he now lies with little hope of recovery. The animal, after this, became still more infuriated, and attacked every object within his reach; but, from the tender state of his feet, was, providentially, unable to run, except by sudden exertion, and that only for a short distance. The guard of the mail approached it twice with a pistol, at the imminent risk of himself; and it was, after some time, shot in Southstreet, by a man named Penhicott.-Brighton Herald. On Thursday, the 9th inst. Mrs. Smallman, of Rodneystreet, Pentonville, while descending the hill from Highgate chaise and killed on to Kentish-town, was upset from a pony the spot. A Coroner's inquest was held on the body, at the Bull and Last, on Friday, and a verdict of "accidental death" brought in. HIGHER ORDERS-HOUSE OF LORDS.-I never heard so dull and vapid a debate in my life (on the Catholic Question); which, considering the number I have heard in that and a neighbouring House, is rather a bold assertion. But it would be doing most gross injustice to the House of Commons not to acknowledge that, with all its faults, it does possess very great and varied talent: if it has the Lethbridges, the Curteis's, and the Bankeses (Major and Minor), it has also Canning, Plunket, Brougham, Tierney, Mackintosh, Peel, Burdett, and a whole galaxy besides, of eloquence and ability, Of the House of Lords, I will only say, that it can boast hardly of any thing of the kind and that, with the exception of a good speech now and then from Lord Grey, Lord Liverpool, Lord Lans down, or Lord Holland, the whole debates of the assembly are made up of the tritest common places, which are not the less mean because they often go upon stilts. To be sure there is the Lord Chancellor, a most profound lawyer, but a desperately bad politician, and a tedious debater; there are the Duke of Wellington and the Marquis of Anglesea, who put the French to flight at Waterloo, and put their hearers to fight whenever they speak; there is Dr. Blomfield, the new Bishop of Chester, an excel lent editor of Eschylus, and now, I believe, a profound theologian; a man with fluency and scholarship enough to make very showy speeches, but who did, on the occasion to which I have been alluding, deliver an oration not only deficient in statesmanlike views, but in the equally im portant qualities of logic and candour.-Letter in the Leeds Mercury. JUNIUS.-We have never been converts to the opinion so strenuously maintained by some, that Sir Philip Francis was the author of the Letters of Junius. Very different has been our impression after perusing a book just published, the object of which is to demonstrate that Lord George Sackville is the real Junius. In the absence of positive proof of a direct nature, a case can only be established by the fair and natural bearing of coherent an and undoubted circumstances: and it is a rule both in law and morals, to decide upon such testimony with nearly the same confidence as if the whole point of the question had been the subject of ocular observation. Applying this rule, we think that Mr. Coventry, the author of the book now before us, intitled 4 Critical Enquiry regarding the real Author of Junius, has collected such a quantity of circumstantial evidence, at once various and connected, as would convince any twelve men, whether Judges or mechanics, that Lord George Sackville and Junius are the same. Human judgment is fallible; and it is possible that some positive evidence may still exist to set aside such a decision; but till such evidence is produced, we think the long-disputed question may be considered as set at rest by the present volume. Many a wretch has been convicted of murder and treason, on half the evidence here produced to establish a point of authorship.-Times. We have read this very inte resting book, and coincide in the opinion expressed by the Times.] THE LONDON MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, JUNE 10.
