"A most curious and indeed ludicrous affair occurred a few mornings ago ( I believe on Thursday) in Westminster Hall. It is necessary that such members as intend to present petitions, should enter their names in ' a book kept for the purpose in one of the offices of the House of Com- • mons, before ten o'clock in the morning of the day on which the peti- tions are to be presented ; and those whose names appear first upon the . list, have the advantage of being called upon first by the Speaker, in the order in which their names are set down. It so happened, that upon this very unlucky morning, two very distinguished members of the House of Commons went down to the House for the purpose of corn- plying with this regulation. Mr. Sadler was walking -leisurely along through Westminster Hall, when, on his way to the office, the member for Carlow, Mr. Blackeney, espied him at some distance before him.
• Mr. Blackeney took to his heels, in order to get before the member for Newark ; which Air. Sadler perceiving, that honourable member had recourse to the same expedient, and also set off at a brisk pace. The member for Carlow, however, in regular jockey style, jostled against - Mr. Sadler, and threw him on the ground with great force, and imme- diately set oft' to the proper office, where he entered his name upon the books. On his return, he found poor Sadler sprawling on the ground, with his face cut and his eye blackened. Blackeney, of course, ex- pressed his regret, and kindly offered to present Mr. Sadler's petition for hint, if he should be unable to attend the House. - Mr. Sadler has since been confined to his bed, and has not yet recovered the effects of his unfortunate racing match."—London Correspondent (f Dublin _Morning Reoister. ['This is, we presume, an Irish Correspondent, from his pleasant description of an act which assuredly Mr. Blackeney did not commit, but Which, if he had committed it, would have deserved a -cry different epithet from ludicrous.]

The following is not the only instance of men and women who " through fear of death" are content to be "subject to bondage." "Time Marquis of Stafford has given orders to his servants on no pretence • whatever to go further eastward than Charing Cross, on pain of imme- diate dismissal, and not to mix with any of the tradespeople. The postman throws the letters into the house; and the newsmen, when they deliver the newspapers in the morning and evening, have to throw them over a wall,—so great is the fear of contagion in the family of the noble Marquis." [ The Marquis does not perhaps know that printer's ink • is a very powerful conductor of infection. Throwing the papers over the wall won't do ; he must give them up altogether, if he would be safe.] k--- In the parish-church Of Hornsey, which is about to be pulled down, there are tablets to the memory of three rectors, who enjoyed the living . 149 vein s,—one 51, another 50, and a•third 48 years. There is also a tablet to the Memory of two servants in one family,—one having served 57, and the other 47 years.
: Miss Inverarity, on Wednesday night, while leaving the stage, came in contact with a trap-door, which had not been properly closed, and fell flat on her face with considerable violence. She, however, ap- . peered shortly afterwards-and went through her part. • • .
• The question relative to the Duke de Bourbon's will, although *de- cided at the first trial, will, as it is stated, be tried by the superior , court—La Cour Royale, and afterwards be brought before. the Court .
of Cassation for a final decision. i. We have seen a letter front a Baptist minister at Falmouth, who states that he was assured by a gentleman who was on board the Mutine at the time, that before the packet left Kingston, the reports attributing criminal conduct to the Missionaries were currently discredited, and even contradicted in the most unequivocal terms, being believed by those only who wished them to be true ; and that he had himself re- ceived an assurance from the officer bearing Lord Belmore's last despatches on board, that the Missionaries had been all acquitted after a few hours' detention, no one charge having been substantiated against them.—Christian Advocate.
It was stated in the Times of Monday, that Mr. Irving was not to preach any longer in the church in Regency Square, in consequence of a resolution of the trustees, grounded on the legal opinion of Sir E. Sugden. This has since been denied by Mr. Irving; the removal is not filially agreed on.
