Norman Maclean, a witness who was committed to the custody
of the Sergeant-at-Arms for prevarication before the Committee on General Darling's conduct, escaped from the Westminster Hotel, Westminster Bridge, on Sunday ; and has not since been heard of. Since 1825, nineteen persons have been given into custody by order of the House of Commons, eleven of them in the present session. The disparity is caused by the great number of cases of Tory bribery brought before Parliament.
The Bishop of London, who is gone to Holland, will preach a sermon on Sunday next in the Episcopal church of Rotterdam, and on the following day confirm the new members of that church.
