^m IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (Continued from our fourth page.) In the House of Lords on Monday no business of im. portance was transacted. On Tuesday the Bishop of Exeter presented a petition from certain of the clergy of the county of Bucks, pray- ing for the repeal of so much of the statute of the 25th Henry VIII. as renders deans and chapters and bishops liable to the penalties of pretmumre. The right rev. prelate said, if the petitioners wished for anything more than a wholesome check on the prerogative of the ctown, the exercise of which he believed to be essential to the peace and prosperity of the church, if they wished in any way to oppose the nomination of bishops by the crown, then he did not agree with them. The Lord Chancellor said as the law now stood the right of the appointment of bishops w&s absolute in the crown, or else why subject those who did not obey the letters missive from the crown to the penalties of prctmu- nire ? The form of election might be inconsistent and absurd, as many other long-established forms were, but inasmuch as the effect of yielding to the prayer of the petition would be to permit deans and chapters to do as they pleased, and would have the effect of breaking down one of the great bulwarks set up at the reformation, he trusted their lordships would never consent to alter the provisions of the act as suggested. The Bishop of Chichester contended that if the doc- trine prevailed that the nomination of the crown was ab- solute, and that no consideration could prevent the con- secration of a bishop so named, then the period had arrived when there would be great risk of a schism in the church. Lord Denman defended the judgment he had given in Dr. Hampden's case, calculated as he believed it was to confer the greatest possible benefit on the church. He confessed he wished to see the word praemunire altoge- ther abolished from the statute book but thought there was a better mode of arriving at the end the petitioners had in view, which would be to adopt Cranmer's sugges- tion of taking away the power of election from the deans and chapters altogether. Lord Campbell would concur in any change as to form but he trusted no alteration in the substance would be attempted, for if such were to be the case it must be productive of the most melancholy consequences. be attempted, for if such were to be the case it must be productive of the most melancholy consequences. The Bishop of St. David's said, that while he should not object to the prayer of the petition, as fai as lelated to the penalty of preemunire, yet if it was intended to go farther than that, to make a transference of that power which was vested in the crown into the hands of any other body of persons, he would most strongly oppose it. The Bishop of Exeter having offered a few words in reply, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. The select committee on the Great Yarmouth Election reported that Lord A. Lennox and O. E. Cope, Esq., had not been duly elected for that borough—that bribery (of which the unseated members were not conscious), had been practised at the late and preceding elections, and that in the opinion of the committee the place ought to be disfranchised. A new writ was ordered for Waterford, in the room.of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, resigned. THE SEE OF CANTERBURY.—IN reply to Mr. Horsman, Lord John Russell intimated that it was intended to make some alteration with reference to the revenues of the Archbishopric of Canterbury, and that whoever ac- cepted the .appointment must do so subject to any changes effected by Parliament. The other proceedings oT the evening related to the expense of the new Houses of parliament, and the Bill for the government of New Zealand. TUESDAY. Lord Palmerston, in answer to Mr. Hume, stated that the conditions of the protocol of May last having been fulfilled, the government were of opinion that there waS no grounds on which this country could be called upon to interfere in the affairs of Portugal. The noble lord, also, at the instance of Dr. Bowring, entered into an explanation of the present state and condition of the Italian states, his lordship's observations being cheered throughout. After some discussion, on the motion of Mr. Hume, a select committee was appointed on the subject of shipwrecks of merchant vessels. Sir W. Somen ille in an explanatory speech, moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland. The motion, after some discus- sion, was agreed to. m Mr. Pusey, also introduced his Agricultural Tenant Right in England Bill, and Mr. S. O'Brien a bill forpro- viding further facilities for the permanent improvement of landed property in Ireland. WEDNESDAY. The House of Commons met at 12 o'clock. After several petitions had been presented the order of the day was read for the house to resolve itself into a committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, but on the question that the Speaker do now leave the chair, an amendment was moved that the bill be committed this day six months. A tedious debate ensued; after which the house divided, when there were— Ayes 15^ Noes 186 l Majority against the amendment 32 The house then went into committee pro forma. The Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again that day three weeks. The bouse then adjovun«d» AnMY ESTIMATES.—The whole and entire total of the increase which will be asked this year of the House of Commons, for the service of this department, is £43,612. WESTGLOUCESTKKSIIIRE ELECTION.— Mr Granger ap- peared at the b*r of the House of Commons on Wednes- day, and brought up the report of the sdeet committee appointed to inquire into the allegations of the petition against the return of the Hon. Grantley Berkeley. The resolution which the committee had come to was. that the Hon. Grantley Berkeley had been duly elected, and was competent to serve in the present Parliament for the western division of the county of Gloucester.—The an- nouncement was received with cheering. THE NEW ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBUNR. — The Chester Courant prominently announces the following —" Our estimable and revered diocesan, the Lord Bishop of Chester, is appointed to succeed the late Dr..Howley, as Archbishop of Canterbury. This promotion of the pious and learned Dr. Sumner to the Primacy will be hailed with livelysatisfaction by numerous and influential parties in the Church. The Right Rev. Prelate left Chester for London last evening (Tuesday), in compliance with a Royal Message, requiring his attendance in the metropolis. HORRIBLE DISCOVERY.—In the course of Monday afternoon last, a singular and most revolting discovery Was made in an unoccupied house in Bloom-street. In the course of the norning Mr. Lansdale, of Water-street, who is agent for trie house, went to visit and examine the place, when inside the kitchen he found two large earth- enware jar?, the reouths of which were covered over with paper, and were marked with the words-" For Sale." He kicked one of them over with his foot, when. break- ing in pieces as it fell on the floor, the body of a dead child, about three months old, was revealed to his sight. Surprised and horrified, he went for a policeman, who, on his arrival, opened the second jar, when another infant was therein found, evidently of premature birth. The parties who last occupied the house are stated to have been two maiden sisters from Bolton, one of whom died not very long ago, and the other became insalTe, and was taken away by her friends. -Manchester Courier. An interesting correspondence between Prince Met- ternich and Lord Palmerston, relative to the affairs of Italy, has been published. The Prince, speaking in the name of his ntaster, the Emperor of Austria, says that central Italy is delivered up to a revolutionary move- ment, at the head of which are to be found the chiefs of those political sects which have for some years threatened the states of the Peninsula. These sects require a single political head, or at least a federation of states placed un- der the control of a central supreme power. An Italian monarchy does not enter into their plans. An abstrac- tion of Utopian Radicalism is the advance which they contemplate. No possible king of such a monarchy ex- ists on either side of the Alps. It is towards the creation of a federate republic, after the model of North America or of Switzerland, that their hopes are led." Under these circumstances, the Emperor of Austria, who does not claim to be an Italian power, is determined to main- tain his own rights, as settled by the treaty of Vienna, to which England is a party, and he wishes to know whether this country is ready to fulfil her obligations thus solemnly entered into. A similar dispatch has also been forwarded to the Courts of Paris, Berlin, and St. Peters- burgh.—Lord Palmerston's replies (for there are two, Aug. 12, and Sept. 11, 1847) are evasive. He admits, indeed, that England is bound to maintain the territorial arrangements of the treaty of Vienna, but "hopes and believes" that there is no such design as that of uniting the separate states of Italy in one federal government, Lord Palmerstoo hints further that Austria has a. design upon the independence of those states, and says that her Majesty's government would be deeply grieved at any obstruction to the reforms which the sovereigns of those countries have deemed requisite, and which they have an undoubted rightto carry into effect.—Count Dietrichstein, the Austrian Ambassador at the English Court, is about to leave London for many months.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 13,1848. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.—We are most happy in being enabled to inform our readers, that on Thursday night week, the 10th instant, Lord Morpeth introduced for the consideration of the House of Commons, the Government measure of Sanitary Reform—a full sketch of which appears in our Parliamentary Summary in our fourth page, to which we refer our readers it is, there- fore, unnecessary that we should do more here than merely refer to it in a few general terms—want of space obliging us to omit an article upon the subject which we had prepared. The bill is almost identical with the measure which was brought forward, and withdrawn, last session the necessity for its enactment is universally admitted. It has a central board, at the head of which is to be a member of the Government. This central board will act in concert with local boards, which, in cor- porate towns are to be composed of members of the town-council. The Government will thus acquire gen- eral control, while matters of detail in the system of sanitary improvement will be left to the boards of the various districts throughout the kingdom. The esti- mated annual expense of the measure is four-pence for each house. A contemporary properly observes of this bill, that it ought to be regarded in a large and liberal spirit; because of the gravity of its object. Whatever may be its defects, it should be remembered that any means are better than none in effecting its objects. The infectious effluvia arising from the filthy state of our towns, causes annually a slaughter far greater than the bloodiest field of war, and shorten the lives of the whole population within their influence. These are the con- siderations which should be borne in mind, not whether the central board or the local boards should be entrusted with more or less power. For the law may be amended should experience prove it defective but life and health once lost from the want of sanitary regulations are irre- coverable. To stand upon the manner of saving the lives of the population, is just as foolish as the conduct of the exquisite who declined to save a drowning man because he had not previously been introduced to him. AN inquest was held at the county gaol on Wednesday, before R. L. Reece, Esq., coroner, on view of the body ,of William Hodge, a convicted felon, who died from natural causes. Verdict accordingly. The Honorable G. Rice Trevor, M.P., is to preside at the approaching anniversary of Saint David's Day in London. THE ADJOURNED QUARTER SESSIONS will be held in this town on Monday and Tuesday, for the trial of pri- soners. The business cannot be otherwise than heavy, unless a large number of the prisoners should plead guilty. CARDIFF INFANT ScaooL.~On Thursday afternoon last, the children of the Cardiff Infant School were re- galed at the expense of Miss Stuart, of Cardiff Castle, with a plentiful supply of tea, cake, and bread-and-butter. Upwards of ninety children partook of the bountiful treat, and appeared to enjoy themselves in a manner truly gratifying to the feelings of ail present. The mas- ter and mistress were assisted in ministering to the wants of the little ones by the Lady James Stuart, Miss Stuart, Miss Booker, Miss Stacey, Miss Shepherd, Miss Scale, the Misses Richards, Miss Webber, Miss Emily Webber, Miss Evans, Mrs. Bushell, the Misses Langley, Miss Clifford, Miss David, and Miss Mills. At the conclusion of the proceedings the children sang" Grace after meat," and separated. WESLEYAN MAITLAND.—[The following extract from the Gleaner newspaper, published in Sydney, New South Wales, will be read, we have no doubt, with great interest, the Rev. Mr. Lewis being the respected brother of Mr. David Lewis, of this town.] — On Thursday evening week, the 18th of August, a tea meeting was held in the new vestry, for the purpose of taking leave of the Rev. Mr. Lewis and family, about to proceed to the Sydney South Circuit. The vestry ,us crowded, and part of the company were obliged to fnd accommodation in the chapel. Speeches were made, by the Rev. Mr. Lewis, Messrs. Ledsom, M'Celland, and Pankhurst. The pro- ceeds of the tea meeting amosnted to £ 10, together with the collection made towards the close of the meeting £10 7s. 6d., were appropriated to the expenses incurred by the erection of the vestry, upon which there now re- mains a debt of about £ 10. The retrospect of the last four years must be very gratifying to Mr. Lewis and the friends generally. About £130U have been raised for building purposes six chapels have been built; thirteen new places opened for the preaching of the gospel; and 200 members added to the society. The income of the circuit has increased fourfold. Many of the friends ac- companied Mr. Lewis and family as far as Morpeth to l the packet, and he leaves Maitland with the good wishes and prayers of all who kaow him. Captain George Mansel, with his frigate, the Actoe.o arrived last week at Portsmouth, from the coast of Afric THE Secretary of State, in reply to the memorial of tl County Roads Board, has ordered that the New Mi line of road shall cease to be maintained as a turnpiki road. The High-sheriff for this county—T. W. Booker, Es( -has appointed Thomas Evans, Esq., solicitor, Cardil his deputy-sheriff. The Judge, Mr. Justice Vaughn Williams, and his Marshall, Mr. Hobart, are expected Cottrell, on the 25th instant, on their way to open tll Commission on the 2Gth, at Swansea. The Rev. Thorns Stacey, M.A., rector of Gellygaer, has been nominate Sheriff's Chaplain. TEMPERANCE LECTURE.—We have seen a lette wiitten by the celebrated temperance lecturer, Fathe Matthew, to a gentleman in this town, in which th former expresses his determination to visit Cardiff pre vious to leaving this country for America. WE beg to tender our best acknowledgments to th proprietor of Th? London Journal, for the gentlemanl; courtesy and promptitude with which he responded t( our application for a loan of the engraving and sketch o the life of our illustrious couutrlmall-The Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce, which will be found in ou fourth page. MESMERISM.—We beg to call the particular attentior. of our readers to an advertisement in a previous column, by which it will be seen, that three lectures on this highl) interesting subject will be delivered in this town by Dr. Storer, on the eveuings of Monday, Tuesday, and Wed- nesday next. MILITARY MOVEMENTS.—A company of the 43rd Light Infantry, under the command of the Honourable C. F. Herbert, which has been stationed at Longcross Barracks for some time, were relieved on Monday last by another company of the same regiment from Newport. Of Captain Herbert and the brave fellows under his command, we cannot speak too favourably and, we are sure, that their successors will conduct themselves equally well, and earn golden opinions of all men. THE STAR" STEAMER.—This splendid and powerful steam-packet continues to make her passages with un- abated punctuality her peculiar excellencies appearing to advantage under circumstances of trying difficulty. The accommodation afforded to cabin passengers is un- exceptionable; while the polite attention and cheerful- ness of her commander—Captain Jeffreys—cannot be too highly spoken of. This port has now ttVO steamers on the station—the Star and the Prince of Wales-which are second to none in the Channel for the general purposes of trade. Both are commanded by experienced men, who have fully established themselves in the confidence of the public. The report of a case in our last week's edition, under the head Cardiff Police," where a ship sustained damage, in consequence, as was said, of the absence of the harbour-master from his post, having given rise to an impression that the said office was that filled by Lieut. Hyde, we beg to state, it is in no way connected with that gentleman's appointment, but it is an office held by another individual under the Corporation of Cardiff. CULOROFOBM.- Weare informed that a most effective and successful operation was performed on Tuesday last, in the Cardiff Infirmary, in which the use of this great and merciful agent was most happily introduced. The subject was an interesting little boy from Merthyr, about fourteen years of age, whose leg it was necessary to re- move. The chloroform was exhibited with entire success, the amputation scarcely occupying one minute, and the first expression of the poor lad on returning to a state of consciousness, uttered in the liveliest manner, was <« Thank you, thank you, Mr. Lewis." We need hardly add, that the skilful operator on the occasion was the head surgeon of the institution, our respected towns- man, Mr. Lewis. COWBRIDGE SCHOOL.—We rejoice to record, what we have heard from parties well qualified to judge, that the Christmas examinations at the Classical School, at Cow- bridge, were as creditable to the scholars, as they were flattering and gratifying to the accomplished head-master and his assistant. The same party has informed us, that at the next similar occasion, examiners will be sent from Jesus College, Oxford, the Principal and Fellows of which Society intend to give prizes worth working for, as the present authorities of the College are most liberally inclined,& are anxious to promote, in every way, the pros- perity of their kindred school. It is said that a third master will be appointed after the Summer Vacation and that afirst class man has already offered himself for the situ- ation, The new School-house, at Cowbridge, is far advanced, and from what we can judge from its present appearance is likely to be worthy its liberal patrons. Mr. John Prichard, of Llandaff, is the college architect. SUDDEN DEATH.—A coroner's inquest on the body of Edward Myrick, of Melingriffith, was held on Wednes- day last, at the Holly Bush, before R. L. Reece, Esq., coroner, and a respectable jury, Mr. Joseph Jones, fore- man. It appeared from the evidence that the de- ceased returned from his Work in his usual health, and went to his garden, from which he was called to tea, of which he had no sooner partaken than he was seized with paroxysm, and fell on the ground a lifeless corpse. The jury returned the following verdict—" That the deceased had died by the visitation of God," He was 67 years of age, and was much beloved in the neighbour- hood. LLANTRISSENT PETTY SESSIONg.-( Held on Thursday, Feb. 10th, 1848, before Colonel Smith, E. M. Williams, Esq., and Evan Morgan, Clerk.J — Thomas Willicwts, of Llwynau, in the parish of Llantrissent, farmer, was charged by Mr. Howell, surveyor of the northern district of turnpike roads in this county, with not having trim- med his hedges adjoining the turnpike road leading from Llantrissent to Cowbridge, after due notice given him for that purpose. Mr. Howell stated that he had given the defendant two notices, but that he had not complied with either of them, and that he (the surveyor) had now re- ceived positive instructions from the County Roads Board to cause all parties who neglected trimming their hedges and trees adjoining the turnpike roads in his district, to be summoned before the magistrates. It appearing that the defendant had now done all that was required of him, the complaint was dismissed on payment of 5s. Id. costs. -Same against Rees Thomas, farmer; similar complaint. Dismissed on payment of costs. -Same against Thomas: Rosser, farmer; similar complaint. Dismissed on pay- ment of costs.-Same against John Morgan, farmer, for not clearing a water-course. Dismissed on payment of costs. In all the above cases the parties sum- moned had done the work required bj the surveyor be-- tween the time of making the complaints and the bearing. -Same complainant against James Williamson, for not trimming hedges and lopping trees. Dismissed; the complainant to pay the costs, Mr. Williamson not being the occupier of the land to which the hedges complained of belong.—Same against Thomas Llewellyn, for not lop- ping trees. Dismissed; costs paid by complainant.— John Lewis, landlord of the Tennis Court beer-house, Newbridge, and David Bowen, of Newbridge, collier, were charged with assaulting David John, of the same place, carpenter, on the 29th ult. The defendants proved the complainant had been the aggressor, and that they had committed no assault. The charge was consequently dismissed. MARRIAGE OF THOMAS SUTTON WESTERN, ESQ.—On Thursday, the 3rd instant, was married in the parish church of Dilhorn, Thomas Sutton Western, Esq.* øaJy son of Thomas Burch Western, Esq., of Füok Hall, Essex, and Tattingstone, Suffolk, to Giulietta Romana, eldest daughter of Edward Buller, Esq., of Dilhorn Hall. Staffordshire. The wedding cortege left the hall at IL o'clock and repaired to the church, which was tastefully decorated with evergreens. The marriage ceremony was: performed by the Lord Bishop of Lichfield, assisted by the Rev. William Dodsworth, uncle of the bride, and Rev. A. Boucher, curate of the parish.

N The fair bride was given away by her father, in the pre- M sence of a large circle of the relations and friend3 of botb N families, who occupied the chancel, while the body of the- M church was filled with the respectable inhabitants of the: M parish of Dilhorn, all anxious to testify tbeir interest im the proceedings of the day. Immediately after the cere- rnony, the party returned to the Hall, where a sump- tuous dejeuner was laid bride and bi remained to partake of' it, and Until the cake, furnished by Mr. Hollinshead, of Derby, and universally admire, was cut, and the health of the young couple was pro- posed by the father of the bride, and responded to by the bridegroom; immediately after which the happy pair took their departure in a carriage and four for Stafford, en route to Churston Court, near Torquay, the seat of Sir John Yarde Buller, Bart., there to spend the honey- moon.
