We are shocked to perceive that the inhuman practice of setting SPRING GUNS should have so many advocates. The reck- lessness of human life which such a cir- cumstance exhibits, is alike discreditable to the persons who avow it, and to the age in which we live. The preservation of lite is the first feeling of our nature, the com- mand of the Author of ît, and the main object of all laws; yet for the sake of a paltry amusement, we find English gentle- men—men "professing themselves Chris tians," ready to place in the wayofthe unwary these savage instruments of death. To express the disgust we feel at such in- humanity would be impossible; and we earnestly hope that the character of Par- Jiament at least will be maintained and vin- dicated, by opposing its,elf effectually to the cold-blooded sophistry of selfishness, by which such principles and practices are endeavoured to be maintained.

IONIAN ISLANDS. • Zaiite, "Several French officers in the service of the Viceroy of Egypt, who have iahen into the hands of the Greeks, in the late actions which have taken place in the Morea, have demanded their liberty, and claimed the protection of the Consuls of their nation. They pretend that they did not go to Egypt and they endeavour to prove it by alleging that only their half-pay con- tinues to be paid to them, and that they are not even struck off the roll of their re- giments. It is Generals Boyer and Livron who engage these officers for the Viceroy. This emigration to Egypt seems to be fa- voured in France, in order to maintain a (connection with that country, and to balance the influence of the English, who render themselves agreeable to the Vicerory, by the advantage which his Exchequer de- rives from the immense purchases of fine cotton which they make in his country."

In the )use of Lords on Monday— Earl M -wenor presented a petition from per- son Danii-,i Gunnel), cumplaining of the delays in the of Chancery, and of a rule of Equity that I tie interest of unpaid annui ties charge- able upon estates in that Court. The Petition- er sta'. Ivutbe was an annuitnat on the Queens- berrv esla;c and that that estate had been for ten years in Chancery, and that he had been all that time deprived of his annuity, with the assur- that if ever he received it he should receive it without one farthing interest. The Lord Chancellor said that this case was 11 full illustration of the justice of the complaints made against the Court of Chancery. The fact was that the estate of the late Duke of Queens- berry was so complicated between English and Scottish claims variously determinable in the Courts or the respective countries, that the Court of Chancery was obliged to hold over the bulk of the funds in its hands to await the final decision of the Scottish courts, which had not yet been made, and which, if a judgment might be formed from the conflicting nature of the interlocutory decisions of some of the Scottish judges was not likely to be made in a hurry. With respect to the rule refusing interest upon annuities in ar- rear, his lordship said he felt that he had no cause to justify, as that was a rule of law above his power to alter but he would not conceal that he entirely approved of it. Lord Redsdale confirmed the Learned Lord's opinion with respect to the rule in question, and animadverted with just indignation upon the con- duct of the Solicitors in Chancery, who were, he said. the sole authors of whatever of culpable delay existed in the practice of the Court. Earl Grosvenor expressed a hope that the la- bours of the Chancery Commission would lead to an amendment of the system. The Lord Chancellor declared, that if the country could go on without an equitable juris- diction, be should not complain, though he were put to death at once. He reminded the Noble Earl (Grosvenor) however, that he had been twice himnelf in the Court of Chancery, and upon both occassions was put out of it with sufficient promptitude. in ibe floii-,e.t)fCominons-- On the Report of the Committee on the Hants and Berks' Canal Bill, a conversation arose re- garding the conduct of members on private com- mittees. The general feeling seemed to be that the subject should be made matter of discussion in the next Session of Parliament; and hope was expressed, that some member would bring for- ward a measure to regulate the proceedings. The speaker replied to the observations made by Mr. Maberleyon the question. Lord Nugent presented petitions from Bunbury and West Looe, relating to the right of election, with gave rise to a conversation of considerable interest, in which Mr. D. Gilbert, Lord J. Rus- sell Mr. S. Bourne, and Mr. Wynn participated. The frivolous Writs of Error Bill was re- ported. The Scotch Bill was read a third time and passed. Upon the bringing up the report of the Univer- sity Police bill, Mr. J. Williams moved to omit the clause empowering the officers to remove women of ioose character from the streets, though not enagaged in the commission of any disorder- ly act. The motion was rejected by a majority of of37 to 9. The Distillery Laws Amendment bill was read a third time, and passed. -1. In the House of Lords last night- The Earl of Liverpool moved the second read- ing of the Quarantine Laws' Amendment Bill. The Earl of Darnley urged the necesMly of us- ing the utmost caution in dealing with a question of so much danger, andcitedsome cases of gross neglect on the part of the sanatory officers sta- tioned in the river. The Earl of Liverpool confessed that caution was the duty of the Government, but contended that the measure before the house did not in the least tend to weaken the existing securities against pestilence. Lord King ridiculed all sanatory regulations, and compared the present dread of the plague to the fear of witchcraft by which our ancestors were tormented. The Bill was then read a second time. In the House of Commons. Mr. Denman moved to summon five persons to give evidence against Mr. Kenrick (the Welsh Judge and Surry Magistrate), in support of the charges brought against him in the respective pe- titions of John Franks and Martin Can for lately presented to the house. Mr. Peel, Mr. S. Bourne, Mr. C. Wynn, and the Solicitor-General opposed the motion, 011 the ground that the summoning of witnesses ought, according to the proper order of judicial proceed- ings, and the established forms of the House, to be preceded by the delivery of a specific charge. Mr. Brougham and Mr. Abercromby contended on the other hand, that though in case of an | impeachment commenced, such an order ought to j be observed, it would be nieiher necesary nor prudent to adhere fo it when the object was to inquire whether any grounds for impeachment e xisteil, It was ultimately resolved to take but one of the cases into consideration for the present, and the witnesses in support of CanfoVs Petition were summoned for Friday evening. Mr, W. Smith presented a petition from cer- tain Unitarians, prayinfl" for on inquiry into the state of the laws, by which Dissenters are aS'ectcd. Mr. R. Martin mO"f'J 1i1e ¡5ê"Dnd rcad:ng 0:: j the "cruelty to animals bill." The Attorney General opposed (ha measure as not only unnecessary, but as repealing, though indirectly, a law which obtained much more Ff- i fectnally than it the objects which it pursued. Mr. R. Martin charged the Seamed gentleman, with being himself the father of the bill which he had thus disparaged; and farther !axedhun with having covenanted to get it through the Houscof Lords by the Lord Chancellor's influence and with having (within 36 hours before) promised to let it pass the House of Commons upon condition that he (Mr. Martin) would not pass the" Felons* Counsel" bill in the present session. The hon. member's speech, which was adorned with the usual proportion of his agreeable peculiarities, of course gave rise to much merriment. The Bill was rejected by a majority of 27 tolS Mr.Green moved an amendment to the Church Lands Exchange Bill for leaving out that part which limine.] thequantity ofianci to be exchanged to forty acres. Lord Paimerston objected in theamendrnsnt. After a few words fro sir Messrs. Lockhart, Monck, C. Wilson, and J. Bfcfiett, the house di. vided. For the amendment S Against it 24' Majority — £ 'Q The Report of the Bill was then received. Mr. Tennyson moved the second reading in the spring guns prohibition bill. Mr. Stuart Wort ley opposed the motion, on the ground that the protection of game by spring guns was less likely to lead to fatal results than the employment of gamekeepers. Sir Francis Burdett warmly supported the mG- tion, as directed to the abolition of a practice, the legality of which was at and which exposed the innocent and guilty indiscriaiinatdy to the danger of destruction. Mr. R. Coiburne opposed the motion, employ- ing the same arguments used by Mr. Stuart Wortley. Mr. II, Gurnev, Lord Binning, and Mr. Scarlett, supported the motion. On a division the bill was ordered to be read R. second time, by a majority of 39 to 27.

On Monday last, a young woman bavin"- been taxed with infidelity to her husband, was so ex. asperated, that she immediately left her work, and committed suicide, by throwing herself into the river, near Messrs Pick ford and Poulsors Mill, at Stoke upon Trent, where she was found by George Joynson, the postboy, who was de- livering letters and, seeing a bonnet on the river bank, procured assistance, when the body was dragged out, and taken to a neighbouring house. Medical aid was immediately procured, and the usual means for restoration resorted to, but with- out effect-the vital spark had fied.—Pottery Mer. The Government of Spain is in a hopeful way Ithasreceived Three Thousand Monks from South America, and it is unable to pay its own troops. who, therefore, help themselves. The high road from Barcelona to Madrid is so infested with rob- bers that the Government has b en forced to send two regiments of soldiers to put down the banditti; but the soldiers themselves are merely banditti under another name. Being without food or par. they are forced to help themselves to both. This may not be called plundering, and. in fact, itmav admit of much extenuation tor it cannot be ex- pected that armed men will starve where there is any sustenance to be got.

It had been dead several days when it reached me, and had, apparently, been destroyed by a spear driven into its neck at the junction of its head with the cervical verte- brae, so as to separate the brain from the spinal marrow. This animal proved to be the Cummeer of the natives. In that species there, are 36 teeth in the upper jaw, and 30 in the lower. These are all in the form of blunt cones, excepting the four in the lower jaw, which are ratiier "more pointed, and might be compared to the canine teeth of large carnivorous animals. The two front teeth of the lower jaw pass into holes whic'ii perforate the upper jaw,* the stcond and third are received into small boles, and the fourth into deep fissures visible oLi each side when the mouth is closed all the Qther teeth of the lower jaw enter small holes. The upper teeth on the con- trary are anTe eeived into fissures Oil the outside of the lower jaw, with the exception of the four hindmost which are very small,'and received b:to indentations of the lower jaw.
